The N. r.. Church.

Rev c. J. Larsen of Juneau was & caller on our last publication day. Mir. Larsen has entire charge of the Alaska missionary work He will arrange to have services in this city, an announce ment of which will appear ill our di- rectory. The Methodist church, t seems to us, has been slow in entering tue Alaska field This is strange, for it is one of the most progressive christ ian organizations If churches m gen eral would pay more attention to home work and less to the foreign, we believe christian work would be advanced. Much good may result from sacrificing lives and money among the pig tailed Chinamen, but our personal opinion is to the contrary.

Gemmel in the London Dental Rec

that he Weakened one morning to
find he was blind. Previously and

sight was restored. He had no 9th

A LAST FAREWELL.

A LAST FAREWELL.
Louis xvHs Leave Taking From His Wife
the Day Before His Execution.
| Miss Anna L. Bicknell contributes
an article on 'sThe Last Days Of
Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette" to
The Century. Miss Bicknell says:
At 8 o'clock the king came out Of
the turret and desired that his fam
lily should be summoned; then, with
Clery, he went into the dining room,
where Clery pushed the table into a
| corner to give more room and placed
chairs in readiness. The king, ever
thoughtful and considerate in what
concerned the queen, then desired
Clery to bring a decanter of water
and a glass in case of need. Clery
brought iced water, but the king i'm
| mediately said that it might make
| the queen ill and, asked for water
without ice.
The queen, holding the little dau-
| phin by the hand, came in first, fol-
lowed by Nine. Elisabeth with Nine.
Royale. All had learned the dread
full truth through the cries of the
news vendors under their windows.
With floods of tears the queen threw
herself into the kings arms and
| then attempted to draw him into his
bedchamber, but he explained that
he could receive them all only in
| the dining room, where the guards
could watch them through the glass
door. Clery closed it, and they could
at least speak without being heard.
The king sat down; the queen took
her place at his left, with Nine.
Elisabeth on the other side; the
children were before him. All chung
to him, and for somes time only a
burst of grief was manifest. At last
the king spoke.
| "He wept for us, says Nine.
Royale in her narrative, "but not
through fear of death. He related
his trial to my mother, excusing the
wretches who were about to put him
to death. He then addressed reli.
gious exhortations to my brother.
He, especially commanded him to
forgive those who were the cause Of
his death and gave him his bless
ing, as also to me.
| The child was seen to raise his
hand solemnly, the king having re.
quired him to take an oath that he
would never seek to avenge his
death, and the child did so.
During the last hours of his life
Louis XVI seemed TRANSPORTED. His
quiet and calm firmness, his truly
Christian feelings of forgiveness to-
ward his enemies, his faith, his res
| ignation, are described with blended
wonder and admiration by all who
came near him.
The interview, SO narrowing to
| all, had lasted nearly two hours,
when, at a quarter past 10, the king
rose decidedly, signifying to the
weeping women and children that
they must leave him to prepare for
coming death. The queen entreated
to be allowed to spend the night
near him, but he firmly refused,
saying that he must be alone and
calm.

clothes. Diehl refused to let him have
them, and Him. says threatened to
brain him with kettle. "My sister is
