There have been many explanations

The lighter ones have wings. The pairs
are lying down, ono having tho form OF q
lion or lionsss, the other representing q
ram or lamb. Male rulers erected the
masculine one, and female rulers the
other. These illustrate tho language
that says: The lion and the lamb shall
lie down together and . little child shall
lead them" This 10 symbolical of the
age Of constant day.

All sorts OF reasons have been given
for the grand republican victory Of the
last election.
The opposition were really lacking q
battle-cry. What they had been using
was worn ont or nearly 90, and the only
thing that seemed to offer anything like
prospect OF success was criticism OF the
conduct OF the war.
1t started hotfOot, heartless, loud
mouthed, blatant, inconsiderate, but
the American people knew their mind.
They had not gone t. war with Spain
with slight provocation and on the spur
of the moment They had been patient
for years. quarter Of century in fact.
Spain had been given opportunity to do
symething near right, but there was ab-
solutely no other way Of it. The war
had to come. It did come. And no
wars are mere picnics. This was far
from that, and it may not yet be over.
That's what the people that voted know.
They are longer headed than the mere
politician gives them credit for. While

Keep an Eye on Russia.

But let us examine closely for a mo-
ment the supposed friendship of Russia
for the United States. 1t is not, it can
not be, other than mere words. States
do not differ that are never brought in
contact, and where there is no contact
there is no rivalry, and professions of
friendship may do no harm and can do
little good. But what is there between
the United States and Russia in COM
mon that can make them allies?
Russia aims at two things-to pre-
vent an Anglo-American alliance, and
to prevent the United States from ever
acquiring any voice in the direction of
affairs in the far east. The policy of
Russia was not matured in day. Rus
STA did not withdraw from America I'M
til she had possession of the lower
Amour, until she had awakened the
fears of Japan, had taken possession of
one of the islands and had driven her
into the family of nations, where Japan
hoped she might find allies among civ
ilized states Russia intended that the
Monroe doctrine should effectually
estop the United States from having
any voice in the settlement of any
Asiatic question. She may say, "You
can no more acquire by conquest the
Philippine islands than Russia or France
can acquire Cuba. %
Russia withdrew from Alaska for
two reasons-to exclude the United
States from having any voice in respect
to questions touching the eastern shore
Of Asia and to prevent Alaska in case
any future conflict with the United
Kingdom should arise from becoming
part of British America, and it was so
understood at the time by every Japa-
nese statesman. American Re-

CANON ANGER ON BURNS.
He Doubts That His Work Was Appreci-
ated In England.

ated In England.
In the second of his lectures on
"Some Leaders In the Poetic Revival,
176O-1S20,' delivered at the ROYAL in
stitution recently, Canon Anger, dis
cussing Burns, doubted whether his
work, with the exception of few
pieces, was ever very widely known or
appreciated in England Readers would
not take trouble and were repealed by q
dialect that contained number of I'M
familiar words, while in addition to the
dialect difficulty there was a certain adj
mixture of free speech on religious and
other matters that might easily offend
those who were particular in such
things.
Burns best and most characteristic
work was written in the peasant speech
Of his native Ayrshire, but the English
enthusiast following the line of least
resistance probably began with the
poems written in English. In these the
poet was not at his best, though the
lecturer could not go so far as to say,
with some critics, that English was
foreign language to him. His English
poetic style was founded on a poetic
school that was already in decay, and
he wrote English verse under the inf1u-
ence of bad models. He was not indis-
criminate or inartistic in his use of
English, and it was no foolish literary
ambition that led him to abandon the
vernacular.
The alienation of English and Scotch
in the ''Cotter's Saturday Night, % for
example, was methodical and consti-
t11tnG ono of tho coorotc Of Ec
and effectiveness. Nor could the lee
turer admit that that poem was senti-
mental if by sentiment was meant clap
trap. False sentiment did not last, but
Burns sentiment is as true and sweet
and pure now as it was 100 years ago
TWAS as song writer that he was best
known to many, though he did not
make his first appearance in that char
acter. Of songs he wrote literally hun
dreds, naturally of differing merit. But
the best were transcendent and almost
unique.
They came as a reminder that in lit
erature and art the difference between
first and second rate was infinite, though
rate it was insignificant. AS a story
teller in lyric measures Burns had no
equal. In the development of poetic art
he stood at the parting of the ways
the climax Of the old and the harbinger
Of the new. He was the greatest of Scot
fish poets, though not the last. His in
fuence on English poetry was incalcu-
liable, and it was he, if any one, who
broke up the frost that had settled on
lyric poetry at the end of last century,

An Ancient Custom.

A curious incident occurred the other
Sunday at st. Georges chapel, Windsor
castle. The choir boys, in accordance
with an ancient custom, claim 5 shil-
lings from any military man wearing
his spurs during divine service. An Off
Ger who had innocently come to church
in his spurs was noticed by some of the
choristers, who, much to his surprise,
demanded the fine as he was about to
quit the castle. The money has been
claimed several times during the last
few years and has generally been paid
after little demur by most of the vic
Tins, while others have Indignantly re-
sisted the levy-London Letter.

Courage In War.

Lieutenant Scott, who was in the en-

Bagley was killed, says courage in war
consists largely of keeping busy. "Once
a man becomes busy with the guns he
thinks only of shooting, not of getting
shot, and his knees are stiff with the
desire to do injury The lieutenant,
however, admits of thinking of his own
safety at one time during the fight
when he saw shell burst and "make
buttonholes in everything it's fragments
