been wrestling for two days with .
legal problem and have not yet reached
q solution. The question ie whether
the title ..esQuira': can be propergy Ap-
piled to Young lady, even though that
young lady be law graduate, and the
recipient OF . certificate Mt te hands
OF the highest court In the state.
Miss Flora E. Silliman has success
fully passed the examined i0as before
the great tribunal, and il entitled to .

the certificate aud had gotten rs far
as the blank left for the name Of the

Flora q. Silliman,' then looked at the
word next following In the printed
form and scratched his. head. Then
he called Judge Gabbsrt.
Judge, shall 1 leave this word 'es-
quire,' after the young iady's name :"
why, yes--no-really-!a haven't
considered such thing. Let me see.
Ill have to take the case under ad-
visement. Go call Judge Campbell"
The chief justice hemmed and hawed
and said the question had never been
raised before. He sent for Judge
Steele. e8Eft
He, too, said <lat the question was
one the like ofswhich man had never
yet been called upon to decide. The
four argued the case, and then sent for

ions. There being bst two sides to the
question. there is Of necessity some
uniformity Of opinion on each side;
but no two have the same reason for

Webster says that "esquires comes
from the French "ecuyer,'' shield
bearer; which in turn comes from the
Latin ."scutum," shield. But he says
nothing about the title ever being be
slowed upon or refused to . maiden.
So that Webster doesn't help out at
all.
AS d consequence of tlliA legal point

KEEP THE BALANCE UP.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of even balance of health
causes serious trouble. Nobody can
be too careful to keep this balance up.
When people begin to lose appetite, or
to get tired easily,t the least ilnprudence
brings on sickness, weakness or debili-
ty. The system needs tonic, Graves
it, and should not be denied il; and the
best tonic Of which we have any know
ledge is Hoods Sarsaparilla. What
this medicine has done in keeping
healthy people healthy, in keeping up
the even balance Of health, gives it the
same distinction as a preventative
that it enjoys as cure. Its early use
has illustrated the wisdom of the old
saying that stitch in time saves nine.
Take Hoods tor appetite, strength,
and endurance.

1t was happy inspiration which
suggested that the cathedral church of
the newly formed diocese of Washing
ton should have some visible tokens of
its unity with, no less than its descent
from, the ancient Church of Britain.
To day it is no longer an inspiration or
a suggestion; 1t is reality. From
henceforth the cathedral church of
Washington will possess for all time
that outward and visible sign of this
great historical fact in its bishops
chair, which is to be known as the
glastonbury Cathedra."
Why the bishops chair in the cathe-
dral church of Washington is to be
called the "GiastonbLry Cathedra" we
shall proceed to tell. In the first
place, let us remark that in the matter
of church organization the diocese is
the unit, and not the parish. The
church where the bishops chair is
placed is called the cathedral or mother
church of the diocese, being so desig-
mated from its containing the cuthetlra
(Which is the Greek word for chair) of
the chief pastor. In the earliest cathe-
drals the bishops cathedra was usually
made of marble, or of some other kind
of stone.
And now for the history of the
"Glastonbury Cathedral" Where and
what is Glastonbury? Glastonbury
to-day is small town in Somersetshire
But around its name immortal history
clings with the tenacity of the ivy to
the mouldering wall. Glastonbury
holds 4 supremely unique position in
the history of British and English
Christianity. 1t is fitly regarded as
being in many ways the cradle of
British Christianity. Glastonbury was
the one great reli ligious foundation Of
Britain which was not overthrown, but
continued to live on unchanged
throughout the storm and stress of the
Saxon devastation. The early British
Cor Welsh) name of Glastonbury was
Yuys Wydrin or Ynys Avalon (hence
