Paris in May and June is a dream OF

french gardeners, better than any 9TH

Yet that is exactly our condition down

So for some two centuries these is

with ourselves and every year eXpends

is not the fault of the islands. but is
principally due TO the fact that poor

WHERE GREAT MEN ARE BURIED.

The funerals of military heroes ara
always peculiarly lmpressive. It Is said
that the conqueror Alaric, after hav-
ing captured Rome. died while on the
march for Sicily. His army buried theIr
chieftain by turning the river Basento
from its bed. in which the grave was
dug. After placing the king and his
treasures there the water was turned
upon its former course. this having
been done In order that the Romans
should never find the grave OF their
conqueror. The task was performed by
the captives taken in war, who were
afterward slain in order to prevent dis
closure OF so important a secret. At
tia, who led the Huns to many a field
of slaughter. reached at last the most
murderous one known in European hiss
tory, a place near Chalons. A. D. 451.
This was Attila's last battle, and two
wears afterward he did in his own caps
ital OF apoplexy. Three collins, it ia
said. were made. one being of iron to
inclose the corpse; this was placed in
another OF silver. while the outside COZ.
fin was OF gold. He was buried at mid-
night, in secret. with much treasure.
and, as at the funeral of Alaric, tho
prisoners who dug the grave were slain.
This took place near Buda, in Huns
gary. Charlemagne was buried at Ak
la-Chapelle, where his throne may still
be seen in the cathedral. 1t is one Of
the oldest in Europe. having stood for
ten centuries. Many years after his
death. when the cathedral was built,
the tomb was opened. and his body was
found seated on the throne and clothed
in imperial robes. The latter are stu
preserved at Vienna, and are said to be
the oldest garments in the world.

LARGE ROYAL FAMILIES.

The royal caste In Europe is in
creasing at goodly rate, and among
princes blessed with large families may
be reclloned deposed potentates. pre-
tenders and highnesses with no eXpec-
tatons worth mentioning. They can
only acquire money by accepting
thrones when offered. by marrying
wealthy royalties or by military serv-
ice and governorships.

MANY VISITORS AT CHAPEL

A crowd of visitors such as is seldom
equalled ON commencement Sunday fill
ed Battell chapel yesterday morning
and heard an excellent sermon by Rev.
DR.. Munger of United church. There
were over two hundred visitors, and
every available seat was occupied. Col
Iege girls and friends and sisters of the
college men who came to New Haven
for the Princeton ball game re-
manned over to attend chapel yesterday
morning and to see President Hadley
for the first time
The west aisle of the chapel. which is
always occupied by Juniors, was filled
with visitors, and great many of the
excused. Yesterday being the first Sun
day in the month, communion was adj
ninistered and large number par
took, including nearly all the visitors.
At the conclusion of the service a joint
meeting of the church and church cor
poraton was held for the purpose of
appointing a committee to supply the
college pulpit with speakers during the
Sundays of the next college year. The
committee is always composed of four
members, two from the church and two
from the corporation. Only two mem
bers were appointed yesterday, they be-
ing Dean Wright and Professor Sey-
mour, representing the college. The
two members from the corporation were
not appointed yesterday, but will be
shortly.
The preacher of the morning, Rev.
DR.. Munger, addressed the general re-
ligious meeting Of the university held
at Dwight hall at $40 o'clock last even
ing and gave the students very sub
stantial talk.
The text of DR.. Munger's sermon yes
terday morning was taken from Ro-
fIldLS XII, OF, lIoi u, tllry HoNC hliiCe
Thy prophets and digged down Thine
affairs; and I am left alone and they
seek my life But what saith the an
swer Of God unto him? have reserved
to myself 1000 men, who have not bow
ed the knee to Baal.'
DIR. Munger said that the fundamen-
tai thoughts of his sermon were that
Gods and mans resources We're never
exhausted; that there Is always a fresh
reserve Of power in a man, and that the
man who estimates his powers and ca
pacity confesses that he is defeated.
DR.. Munger spoke to the men on the
great secret of never giving up, saying
that to stick to thing no matter how
many setbacks he may have, was the
secret of a mans success, He spoke
of the difficulty some men have when
they start out in the world without
friends or fortune and how these men
were generally the ones that made
success of life. The preacher spoke of
those difficulties met with in the every
day life of the college man, and of the
great benefit that comes from conquer
ing them, namely, that of seeing and
knowing for ones self.
The sermon was full of good advice
to the undergraduates who will doubt
less appreciate 1t as they leave college
TO enter into an entirely new life.
