For nobler cause than that for which
the diplomatic representatives of the
greatest nations of the world are as
sem bled at the Hague in response to
the cars call, no international
gathering has ever been held in the
worlds history before. As to the
question of disarmament that is one
of the practical features to be dis
posed of. The objects and aims of the
conference are such that in this en-
lightened age universal concord ought
eventually to attend the carrying for
ward of all measures which may be
adopted looking TO the happiest and
best issues out of all causes for fric-
ton among nations. But it is not to
be denied that the fact that the lead
ing nations are so well armed as they
are now is largely responsible for the
bringing of them together, and at the
same time is as matters are at the
present, is their greatest security for

Good Friday In England.

Many quaint and some grotesque OBJ
servances of Good Friday have prevail
I'D in various localities. In Brighton
the custom of skipping the rope on that
day led to the use of the term Long
Rope day" Six or eight adults, with a
long rope. skipped at one time. In the
Sussex villages men and boys play mar
bles- At st. Bartholomew church,
London, 81 old women appear and be-
fore a crowd of curious onlookers bend
their stiffened. aged knees to pick up 81
sixpences.
This latter custom had its origin be-
fore the great fire, when an eccentric
woman left her property to have 81
sixpences laid upon her gravestone in
ST Bartholomew church, which were
annually to be picked up by aged wild
ows.
AT the Church of All Hallows the
youngest boys of the Blue Coat school
are enabled, by the will of Peter Sy-
monds. dated 1887, to divide 60 new
pennies and so packets of raisins among
them.
In London and all over England the
eating of ''hot cross buns is the special
feature of the day. The original home
of this English custom is said to be in
CambridSeshire and Hertfordshire-
There. wherever the old Roman roads
crossed, stood the altar of Diana of the
Crossways. to whom the Romans offer
ed their sacred cakes.

The Cocaine Habit.

A we'll known chemist states that q
surprising number of well to do young
ladies have taken to buying the various
forms of doctored up coca extracts (co-
caine) in large quantities, also phe-
nacetine and various bromides. because
"they make enc feel so nice and hap
py." 1t is needless to say that such
practices are exceedingly risky. Per-
baps. however. they are preferable to
another extremely foolish trick-that
of shifting chloroform dropped on a
handkerchief, with the object of pro-
ducing a pleasant, dreamy languor. =

I'ENVOI.

The smoke upon your altar dies,
The flowers decay,
The goddess of your sacrifice
Has flown away
What profit, then, TO sing or STAY
The sacrifice from day to day?
1--WE know the shrine is void" they said.
''The goddess flown
Yet wreaths are on the altar laid
The altar stone
Is black with fumes of sacrifice, -
Albeit she had fed our eyes
s'For it may be, If still We sing
And tend the shrine,
Some deity on wandering wing
May there incline,
And finding all in order meet
Stay while we worship at her feet"
