RITUALISM IN THE ENGLISH
 CHTTRCH

Clearly the first thing to do in the dl-
 rection of stopping ritual which is teno-
 ing to destroy the Anglican church IS to
 employ prohibition in such way that
 the persons affected will not feel it their
 duty to protest and make martyrs or
 themselves. There must be no impris-
 onment of clergymen for contempt Of
 court and the like. Prohibition or
 changes in the church services should
 that Is, come from the clergyman's ec-
 clesiastical superiors and not from the
 civil authority. Again, the prohibition
 must not be of rigid and uniform
 kind. No one can set bounds to the de-
 velopment of living body, and even
 if most perfect and entirely adequate
 series were to-day arranged to meet alr
 possible requirements, who can venture
 to say that they would be adequate a
 hundred years hence? It was such
 rigidity that produced the mass and
 the use of a tongue not understanded of the people.
 When the mass was first said it was intelligible enough. One almost fears to do more harm than good by suggest
 ing plans of settlement at the present moment, but we cannot help thinking that the best arrangement would be to allow omissions from the Book of Com mon Prayer-they are often necessary to adapt the services to the needs of the congregation-but not to allow addi- tions until leave had been asked and obtained from the bishop. The bishop would, we should suggest, have no hard-and-fas rule but would judge each case on it's merits. For example, he would allow much more extreme ad- ditions to the prayer-book services in a town church where the regular congre- gation were known to desire the addi- ton, than he would in a rural parish where a portion of the congregation were opposed to change, and where those who objected would have nowhere else to go. In all cases the bishop would l be able to consider and give weight to | the desire of the congregation. In this way a body of usage would grow up which would allow diversity and
 growth, and yet maintain the essentials of unity. No doubt it might happen that a clergyman would occasionally refuse to obtain episcopal sanction for new services and would disobey his bishop when ordered to desist but these cases would, we believe, be rare. As a | rule, the clergy would not refuse to ac- knowledge the authority of the bishop. 1 At any rate, if they did they would not l receive the support of their fellow-cler- gy How the necessary authority is to
 be conferred on the bishops if it does not exist already is difficult question, 1 but one we shall not discuss now | London Spectator.

A new cork pavement is favorably regarded by the municipal authorities in several cities. It is noiseless and soft to the tread, but at the same time durable. It is variety of asphalt paw ing, in which cork Is substituted for the sand of the ordinary kind, preventing slipping and deadening to even great CT degree the vibrations from passing vehicles. Snow does not freeze to it, and as 1t is non-absorbent its qualities seem much superior to those of wood pavement. It is said to stand" on heavy grades upon which the ordinary asphalt pavement cannot be used at all, and still afford a perfectly safe footing.

The provision in the Hawaiian an- nexation resolution suspending in the annexed islands the public land laws of the United States is a recognition that the disposal of such lands in the is,ands cannot be made on the plan prevailing in the States. In the ab- sence of a survey it is not known how many acres of. public lands. the islands enbrace. In the Olla portion of the puna district alone there are 10000 ocres of available coffee lands still un- taken. The policy of the Hawaiian government has been to divide the land into different classes, according to it's desirabiIity, and to limit the amount which might be acquired by the home steader. As the land in Hawaii is much more productive than any of the pub lie lands of the United States now open to settlement, not nearly so much is required there to give man a farm upon the products of which he and his family can subsist, and for that reason the limit there is much less than the 160 acres allotted here.

The superintendent of Brooklyn's fa- nous Greenwood cemetery has an odd trouble. He declares that something like 3O,OOO chipmunks are at present en- loving themselves in this beautiful si- lent city, and doing great damage, to boot. They have burrowed under the walks and have burrowed under the toYnbs They have undermined head stones and ruined shrubbery, and flor ists and gardeners, policemen and guards are at their wits end to get rid of them. About fourteen years ago the same little pests infested Greenwood, but they were driven out by famous ohipmunk exterminator after he had slaughtered 2S,000. The cemetery folk are now looking for the same man.

BACK FROM THE WAR IN CUBA

And sat down in a chair;
And talked and gossipped with me-

And ordered her away.
