IN MEMORIAM.
SYNOPSIS OF ADDRESS DELIVERED BY
CHAPLAIN KENNEDY LAST
THURSDAY MORNING.

Mr.. Kennedy began by alluding
TO Nearer My God To Thee" it
being the favorite hymn of the
president, who died with words on
his lips, that afforded a remark
able example Of faith in the living
God, passing away just after the
closing of one and at the begin
ming of a new day.
Speaking Of his character the
dead president was characterized
as typical moral man and typical
American. The day found Catho-
lies, Hebrews, Protestants and all
classes of people irrespective of
religious belief or politics uniting
in paying tribute to his memory
and praying that the Almighty
may sanctify the soul of the nation
and lift the sorrow Of the people.
Mr.. Kennedy said it was common
knowledge that men of humble
birth had been raised up to fill
high places in affairs of the nation,
and that it was the moral training
of William Mckinley that fitted
him for the great station he filled
so we'll. He was a church men,
Der, a God-fearing and a God
loving man.
~'Such man was not an accident
not pitcnforked into high place"
declared Mr.. Kennedy. But the
speaker believes that he was raised
for the mission which he so ably
performed, and he owed to early
piety his successful career. His
friends and enemies alike admit
that he performed his duty as he
saw it with a conscientious mind.
He was endowed with a happy
disposition that made him love
mankind and drew men toward
him. He believed in the father
hood of God and the brotherhood
vof man.
ellis craftsmanship gave the
president worldwide reputation"
continued Mr.. Kennedy. Men

First Pair of Trousers.

The first pantaloons or trousers
were made in Assyria. In the reign
of King Asshurizirpal (S33-858
B. c. horses were introduced in the
army as cavalry. Here, now, was
a problem. The cavalryman had
to have some sort of a uniform,
and it was impossible for him to
wear a skirt and ride astride a
horse. The tailors to his majesty S
armies wagged their heads a long
time over this problem, and finally
decided that the only way out of
the difficulty was to cut the caval-
ryman's skirt from hem to waist
band in both front and rear, let
ting each part fall on it's respect
i've side of the horse.
AS can readily be imagined, this
split skirt make an exceedingly
poor article of clothing. The law
of heredity, however, is full of

is taken in it is as fully prepared
as it can be outside the body.
Whatever remains to be done in
order that the food may be pre-
pared for absorption must be eff
fected after it enters the alimen-
tary canal.
When food enters the mouth it
consists of mixture of food stuffs.
The water and salts are absorbed
directly by the blood, for the most
part from the stomach, but there
is some absorption from the mouth.
All the food of fluid nature, no
matter what classes of food stuffs
it comprises, passes Immediately
from the mouth into the pharynx,
and thence through the nsopha-
gus into the stomach.
Mastication: The chewing Of
the food, or mastication, is per-
formed by the teeth of which there
are two sets. The first set, known
as "deciduous'' or milk teeth"
and which exist during early
childhood, are twenty in number,
and the second or permanent set
are thirty-two in number.
They comprise four incisors, two
CANNES, four bicuspids, and six
molars in each jaw. The function
of the teeth in man is tothoroughly
subdivide the food; and this func-
ton is an essential part of the
process of digestion. When a
chemist desires to dissolve a SUBJ
stance quickly and completely, he
first thoroughly pulverizes it in a
mortar. If mastication is not
thorough, digestion is seriously in
terfered with and dyspepsia is the
result. CLINIC.

surprises; this humble apology for
a garment was destined to be the
father of the original pantaloons.
The mind of the tailor has ever
been a small one. It is likely that
even then, as now, it took mine
tailors to make man."
At any rate, it took the tailors
of Assyria over a century to solve
the problem of the horsemen's
clothing.
"Why not" said one of these
workers with the needle and
shears, "sew together the edges OF
each division of the skirt and thus
form a separate skirt for each leg?"
Or, in other words, he invented a
pair of pantaloons.-St. Nicholas
Magazine.

loved him throughout the four
corners of the earth and were
everywhere dropping tear of
sympathy. Such men were Gods
gift to people, raised for pur-
pose. God will not permit his
name to pass into oblivion. His
works and principles will survive.
Mr.. Kennedy said that altho a
late conner to America his study of
presidents inclined him to regard
Mckinley as the brightest star in
the armament of presidents, clas-
sified with Lincoln and Garfield as
martyrs on the altar of govern
ment, and with Washington and
Lincoln as great rulers.
Abiding to his home life and
the sorrow of his family, Mr.. Ken
nedy said it was not for him to
draw aside the curtain of home.
It would remain a bright picture
in his career and prayers go up
from all hearts for the stricken
wife. In conclusion the speaker
offered a prayer that God would
grant that good may come out of
this great calamity and bring a
greater peace to the nation. That
those who come to this shore from
other lands may be taught that
liberty should not be abused, but
all submit to wholesome law and
order and that rulers and Judges
may have wisdom to restrain the
lawless and the assassin. Ending
his eloquent eulogy Mr.. Kennedy
quoted the lines:

The scene of the novelette, is a

in the alimentary canal it
isas much outside the body, SO far
as nutrition is concerned, as if it
7had never been taken inside.
The nutritive value of food en-
tiers the blood by absorption, there
fore we have certain organs whose
duty is to prepare such food that
us not in condition to be absorbed,
that is, will not pass through
animal membranes into a condi-
ton which will admit of rapid
absorption. It is this change
which constitutes food digestion,
and the organs concerned in bring
ing about these necessary changes
in the food, are the digestive Or
>gans.
The aljmentary canal consists of
the mouth, the tube leading from
the mouth to the stomach, called
the esophagus, the stomach, and
the small intestines. AS the
: mouth, stomach, and small intes-
tines have each separate work to
do, we will consider them separate
/ iy.
When food is taken into the
mouth it has, presumably, been as
fully prepared as possible by the
removal of those portions which
are of no nutritive value. No one

of nuts, the gristle of meat, or
similar substances, because expert
,ence has shown that their diges-
ton is practically impossible. In

In the Cleaning Of a
Faded Glin.

She was the bonniest, blithest
little creature in feminity that
mortal man could ask or long to
gaze upon. He was just as fine
specimen of manhood in the mas
culine creation. Both were win
ming and lovable in disposition.
Indeed they formed a superb pair
in the singular number. The two
perfect halves that the God of
Love always successfully molds
into one perfect whole.
The shadows of twilight had
deepened and the dusk had be-
come so dense that, for propriety,
they had to adjourn from the piaz-
"a to the musty glimmer of
smoky oil lamp within the close
retreat of a stuffy little parlor.
Light gives life to everything
and brings forth the charms and
graces of all that is lovely and
beautiful, but the dark is as essen
tial to offset the beautiful and
bring out it's charms in relief, as
light is to produce them. So it
happened that, with a little turn
ing down of the wick and screen
ing the lamp, the right consistency
of cleaning was brought in to play
to make the billing and cooling Of
a happy, willing number of ''two"
in the singular" a most holy,
love-inspiring affair. Fte voiced
his aims and ambitions in the
same old fervent language of the
lover, winding up in the self-same
way that his all-and-all was GEN.
tired in her. She, in womanly
fashion, listened in demure and
coy eloquence and with downcast
eyes until the old passionate tale,
which is ever new with added
brilliancy from centuries Of con-
slant wear and polish, was finished.
Then with heaving bosom and a
love-lit luster in her eyes she ex-
tended her shapely little arms
toward him. Whereupon with the
manly strength and the restful
demeanor of one who has gained
his goal, the pinnacle of his hopes
and dreams, he clasps her to his
breast. Then to consummate the
joining of heart to heart, the short
ened lamp wick sputtered, the
light glimmered an instant and
faded away, leaving the world to
darkness and to them a holier
flame to light their onward pro-
gress through life. Thus. the
sparkling life current of two
found confluence and flowed as
one. ZOLL.
