A Catering Genius,

Do most people ever realize the
kind of genius it requires in the
head of a large boarding house to
set before the 20 or 80 people in her
establishment an appetizing, well
cooked, we'll served meal three times
a daya 1t is more difficult task
than the same catering in a large
hotel, for the latter reaches out, if
necessary, to the ends of the earth
for his supplies, and the guests find
it less easy to complain on account
of the more impersonal manage
ment. But think of a score Of peo-
pie with all sorts of idiosyncrasies
and differing tastes, some of them
perhaps semi-invalids or valetudina-
-sians, all to be suited with the kind
of food desirable for health and pal
atel s NV dear, it has turned my

a few of them may have been chron-

One day some one in his presence
referred to the fact that a publisher
who was noted for his hard bargains
with authors had built church at
his own expense.
'Ah," quoted Bowen at once, "the
old story! The blood of martyrs is
the seed of the churchl' Some
times his wit had a delicate flavor of
hattery, as when he assured some la
dies who had climbed perilous AL
pine peak that they had solved a
problem which had vexed medieval
schoolmen-how many angels could
stand on the point of needle.
Again, it had a satiric touch. At
Hamburg the Prince of Wales kept,
or tried to keep, a faithless little
dog, which persisted in running
away.
"That's the only creature here. !"
said Bowen, (Which does not run

THE SLEEPING BEAUTY.
Earth, like a princess charmed asleep

Earth, like princess charmed asleep
By wizard spells in years Of old,
In winters cavern lies a-cold,
And round her still the SHOWS shall sweep
And roaring winds their watches keep
Till dawns the joyous hour foretold
And fairy spring with wand Of gold
Exulting from the skies doth leap.
Then, like n prince Of gay romance,
Hot footed on his sweet empEise,
The happy poet shall advance
To where the dream bound beauty lies
And WOO with his enraptured glance
The wonder of her waking eyes.

fed somewhat by the progress

church the sovereign is still

The sovereign still has the ts.4e
of Defender of the Faith" though
the absolute power thus vested is
somewhat curtailed by the parlia-
ment, which has right to condemn
or uphold the will of the ruler.
But, for the most part, parliament
and head act conformity, and both
have often wiped out old and set up
new sees. In Ireland ten Protestant
bishoprics were suppressed at one
stroke by acr OF parliament, and also
several suffragan sees in England.
But with the Roman church the
power of suppressing OF creating a
cathedral see rests with the pope
alone.
When a cathedral is once estab.

down for its government. The coun-

Liquor Raids in St, Albans.

others have been running on half time, a, il

stock on hand as best they could instead
OF buying new goods. It was plain to see
something was in the air and it was expected
that in due time something would drop in
st. Adams and drop hard"
The Welden, American and St. Albans
houses were all raided. The narrative
continues: "Soon after there gathered in
Watson & Flinn's office, where Judge
Finn was holding city court, the hotel pro-
prietors and their fne-takers. While wait
ing there was that forced appearance Of
cheerfulness that sometimes precedes an
execution. Jokes that were intended to
be funny fell fiat, laughter sounded hollow,
altogether it was about as hilarious as a
funeral"
Each hotel had its fne-taker present
who in each case was fined for a first
offense of keeping and selling and the
liquor was declared contraband. "No
nuisance proceedings, no temporary injunc-
ton business or any Of the new tangled
sort of stuff the victims were prepared to
hear" says the Messenger in a tone of
injured complaint.
