for US, the living, rather to be dedicated
here to the unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far so nobly adj
vanced It is rather for us to be here dedi-
Gated to the great task remaining before us,
that from these honored dead we take in
creased devotion to that cause for which
they gave the last full measure of devotion;
that we here highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain; that this Ma

freedom, and that government of the peo-

Tammany Hall, or the Society of the Co
lumbar Order was founded in May, 1883;
originally it was benefit society and the
Columbian Order part of Tammany still is.
It is the Columbian Order that owns the
building in which the political society
meets; it celebrates Fourth of July each
year and has certain pseudo-Indian cele-
brations, too. Aaron Burr was one of its
leaders, but it broke away from him in lSOl,

Since then the eldest son of the British
sovereign has been created Prince of Wales.
The title is not hereditary. If the present
prince should become king his eldest and
now only son would not be prince unless the
new king should make him so. Charles II
was never Prince of Wales. g. Scotland and
Ireland are, but Wales is included in Eng

land has seventy-two. There are thirty
constituencies in Wales, but there is no
constitutional requirement that there shall
be that number. 3. This is Welsh, not

Dr. w B. Fletcher kindly sends the fol-
lowing in answer to a question asked last
week and not fully answered: Some one
asks for a work on the chemistry of the
human body. While all works on anatomy
or physiology give the chemical elements
