Mrs. Robert Leighton spoke to the

Hundreds of years ago, as far back
as the sixth and not later than the
twelfth century, it was the custom in
Ireland and other Christian countries
to build tall narrow towers close to
many Of the churches. 1t is not known
for certain why they were erected, but
it is supposed that, besides being used
for religious purposes, they afforded
shelter for priests and people in times
of danger. After bells had been intro
duced they were sometimes hung in
these towers. The round towers were
mostly from eighty to a hundred feet
high, and usually crowned with a
peaked roof. They were lighted by
small windows, and the ascent from
story to story was made by means
of ladders. AS a matter of safety, the
door was placed at a considerable dis
tance from the ground. Above a hum
dred Of these towers, more or less per-
feet, are still to he found in various
parts Of Ireland.

Translated Into Four Languages for
Use of the Natives.
Recent events have stirred the Brit
ish and Foreign Bible Society to some
prompt feats Of translation, and por-
lions of the new testament In no less
than four tongues are in preparation
for the Philippines. The first three
gospels and the acts in Tagalog, the
language of the dominant native race
there, are actually printed; st. Luke's
gospel In Ilocono is nearly finished,
and the same book in Bicol is ready
for issue. These r~enderings, 1t APP
pears, are largely due to the energy OF
the society's agent in Madrid, Rev. r.
o. Walker, who secured the ~collabora-
ton OF some exiied Filipinos. Almost
the whole testament has been trans
lated into Pangasinan. Another nota-
Bile undertaking is the printing OF St
Johns gospel in Lusoga, for use In
those districts east OF the Nile. This
version has been made by Rev. r.
Rowling of the Church Missionary So
ciety, and is regarded for many philo-
logical reasons as an interesting addi-
ton to the 400 or so of languages and
dialects in which the sacred books are
circulated from Queen Victoria street.

GERMAN
Manner In Which the French Paid the
Indemnity I'm 1870.

AhuVAiuiby III AoaU
The ease with which France paid the
great indemnity exacted by Germany
at the close of the war Of 1870 aston
ished the world. The same ability to
discharge a forced obligation was wit
messed at the close of the Napoleonic
wars, when the allied armies occupied
France. Savarin explains that the ease
was made possibly through gluttony,
which, he says, France alone al thor
oughly satisfy. In 1915, after the
treaty of peace, it was estimated that
that nation in various ways paid to
its conquerors the sum Of 1,500, 600, 900
francs. 1t was feared that these forced
payments would bankrupt the
try. Subsequent events proved that
these fears were chimerical. Not only
the original amount assessed against
the French came back to them, but
very much more, through the gluttony
Of their vanquishers. The foreign ar
mics that invaded France brought
with them fierce voracity and stom-
achs of capacity. Once they
had tasted of the delights OF French
food, their ordinary rations were re-
jected, and the great sums of money
that had come into their possession Of
fered a means for the complete sat-
isfaction of their appetites. Paris be-
came, on a sudden, an immense refec-
tory. The invaders ate everywhere, In
eating-houses, in cookshops, inns, tav-
ems, drinking dens, and in the streets.
They gorged themselves with flesh,
fish, game, pastries, fruits, and truf-
fes. When they drank 1t was with
avidity and of the most expensive
wines. The purveyors made fortunes.
One Nine. Sullot, who had a little
shop in the Palals Royal only IL feet
square, sold 10000 petit pates every
day. To the rank and file and most
of the officers of the invading armies
the delights of French cookery were a
revelation. When they returned to
their homes their tales Of epicurean
bliss excited their hearers. This led
to a great pilgrimage to France OF CIV
ilian gluttons from all parts OF Eu-
rope, and made of Paris a ~gastronomic
Mecca for a quarter of a century or
more. 1t was estimated that through
this pandering to the stomachs OF
strangers France not only regained the
original amount of the indemnity, but
as much again. That experience, SC
far as eating is concerned, can never
be repeated, for from 1915 to 1910 the
French cuisine was at it's period Of
cumulative achievement. The indem-
nifty exacted in 1870 has been returned
to France mainly through the pur.
chase of decorative equipment by the
women Of all nations.-Sun.

EX-Gov. THOMAS c. FLETCHER.

EX-GOV. THOMAS G. FLETCHER.
Intense animosities existed, and at
times Governor Fletcher's friends
feared for his life. But he went I'M
guarded and his courage carried him
through unframed. He was ineligible
for reelection in 1869, and retired to
private life, resuming the practice Of
law. He was connected in a legal way
with the Southwestern branch of the
Pacific railway, and this led him to
divide his time between St. Louis and
Washington until about ten years ago,
when he established his home in the
latter place. Since then he has prac-
ticed before the Court of Claims and
in the departments, and has attended
to his railroad business. He leaves a
widow, one son and one daughter.
Tom Fletcher. rs he vas called by
his most intimate friends, was what
is often called a "whole-souled-man'
and a "hail-fellow-we1l-met." There
are more than a dozen persons we'll
known in public life who owed their
start to Fletcher. The late B. X.
Bruce, ex-slave and senator from Mis-
sissippi, was one of them. Bruce's
early education was paid for by
Fletcher's money. That money was
ever ready to help the needy. 1t is
natural that some day Fletcher should
grow comparatively poor. Some years
later he sought the appointment OF
registrar of the treasury 1T Washing
ton himself. Oddly enough his old
protege, Bruce, was a candidate for the
same Office. The ex-slave got the job
and Fletcher returned to his old home
in Missouri, grumbling at the irony oil
fate. What chagrined him worst of all
was the fact that Bruce had already
became a rich man, while he himself
had grown poor.

Brief SKETCH OF A REMARK
ABLE MAN.
The First Abolition Governor of the
State of MissourI-His Hand Was Al
ways Open to Those In Necd-uow ID.
X. Bruce Rose to Fame.

Ex-Governor Thomas G. Fletcher,
who died in Washington a few days
since, was a notable figure in the polit-
ical life of the southwest, having had
the distinction of being the first aboli-
ton governor of a former slave state.
He was born s~eventy-two years ago at
Herculaneum, in Jefferson county,
Missouri. His father was a merchant
with a goodly number of slaves, but
Notwithstanding his slave surround
ings, young Fletcher became a stanch
abolitionist. He was first appointed
clerk of Jefferson county and after
ward elected for six years as county
clerk. Before his term expired he re-
moved to st. Louis and began the
practice of law.
At the outbreak of the war he en-
listed with the Union forces and served
with distinction through the war. His
army service and his personal popu-
larity combined to secure his selection
as the first governor of Missouri fol-
lowing the war. He was inaugurated
in 1866, and served until 1869, covering
that eventful period of reconstruction.
