BUNKER HILL NOTES.

The addition to the church is rapid: ly nearing completion. Workmen are rushing the work along with all possi- ble speed. The regular church build ing proper is divided from the lecture room by three sliding doors. There are three large sectional windows with arch tops on either side. The floor slants downward, leaving the pulpit at the lowest point. New pews will be added soon Fhe aisles will be car peted and a new piano added. The building will be heated by means of a large furnace located in the basement. The members intend to obtain bell for the tower in the near future.
 J. J. McCauley is spending week or two in Maine, deer hunting.
 Workmen are painting MT Rogers new house, nearly opposite the Pequot club. The grounds are also being graded.
 The rural free postal delivery as in stituted in Bunker Hill is a success. It is much more so than the residents along the route had any idea of. The service is exceptionally pleasing and reliable If the storms of winter do not interfere with the service, there is no kick coming, though even at that there's a vast difference compared to one walking to the city after mail.

NEW RECORD FOR POETS.
That for Endurance Made by the Elm. peror of Japan, Who Thus Be-
 comes Champion.

His Majesty Mutsuhito, emperor of Japan, is unquestionably the cham pion long-distance poet of the uni verse. Compared with his literary feats of endurance those of Emperor William IT. of Germany or even of Os- car Hammerstein, of New York, are mere child's play, says.the New York Sun.
 Baron Takasaki, chief of the poets bureau in the imperial palace, declares that his majesty's facility of writing and love of poetry increase with his years. There is scarcely an evening that he does not take a practice spin over the cinder path to immortality dashing off from 27 to 30 of the 31- syllabled couplets called Wa-Ka. Baron Takasali invariably acts as referee on these occasions and the finished couplets are handed to him to determine whether all the rules of the game have been fully compiled with.
 Although Takasaki has been chief of the poets bureau since 1892 he was still alive according to the latest ex- changes from Japan, and he is author ity for the statement that during his incumbency the emperor has com posed more than 37 ,O00 wa-ka couplets.
 The empress, too, is very skillful in the production of couplets, but her best record-two twice a week, wa-ka style, according to Baron Takasaki- must appear ridiculous when contrast ed with the world d-beating figures set by her lord and master. The quality of her work, however, is said to quite equal Mutsuhito's best.

ONIONS ON HER TOMBSTONE.
Aunt Betsy Preferred Them to Flow CTS or Verses, and She Had
 Her Wish.

In the quieter section of cemetery near Evansville, Wis, is a stone known as the "Onion Tombstone" Dropping gracefully over one corner of the slab as if just pulled and laid there, is the marble semblance of bunch of young onions Beneath is the date of the birth and death of the woman who sleeps in this peculiarly marked grave. The,o only explapation the sexton has to offer is that Aunt Betsy liked onions to eat better than anything else and often said that she did not want flow CTS or verses on her tombstone, but just a bunch of onions.
 New England is often credited with the quaintest of tombstone memorials, but here is one from another Wiscon- sin cemetery which is odd enough. It seems designed to embrace the all of a woman's career:
 Sixteen years a maidene
 Sixteen months a wife,
 Six weeks mother,
 Then she cult this life.

why the CurIesy's Nest Is Hidden.
 Dr. Rhys, in his Celtic Folklore, Welsh and ManS, tells the following legend of the curlew: When St. Beuno lived at Celynnog he used to go regularly to preach at Landwyn, on the opposite side of the water, which he always crossed on foot. But one Sunday he accidentally dropped his book of sermons into the water, and when he had failed to rescue it a sgylfn-hir,' or curlew, came by. picked it up, and placed it on stone out of the reach of the tide. The saint prayed for the protection and favor of the Creator for the .gylfin-hir; it was granted, and nobody ever knows where that bird makes it's nest"

The tendency among the British middle classes is rather to live above their incomes than within them. There is also a passion for luxury in London and a desire to display, which seems a peculiarly stupid and useless desire in a huge city, where one seldom knows ones neighbors- And so, too, the cor dial "pot luck" dinners of a generation ago have given place to ceremonial champagne functions, in which man out of dress clothes is out of place.

way that prevents such action. COM
missioner Boyd is strongly opposed To

on account of the allowance of absolute
