UNIQUE LITERARY WORK.
Close of Regency in Spain to BE
Marked by Written Accounts
by Members of Ministry.

The close of the regency in Spain
will be commemorsted by a unique
literary work, written by former
members of the ministry and prom
inent public men. Senior Moret, min
lister of the interior, and Carmen Syl-
va will deal with the personality Of
the queen regent, says the London
correspondent . the New York Trib-
une. Senior Silvela will discuss the
relations of political parties, and Pi
Y. Magill, republicanism. Senior Viii
laverde will take up finance, Ad-
miral Cervera, the navy; Lopez DOM
inguez, the army; the duke of Tet-
uan, international relations; Senior
Gamazo, judicatur reform, and San
chez Toca, commerce. The most in
teresting chapter for Americans will
be the colonial disaster, from the pen
of Senior Maura, late minister to the
colonies. Socialism will be jointly
discussed by Prof. Agacarate, of the
University of Madrid, and Pablo Ig-
lesias, a labor leader, well known in
England; and clericalism, by Senior
Pidal, Spanish ambassador to the
vatican; and Senior Canalojas, leader
of the anti-clericals. The merchant
marine will be considered by Mar
quis Camillas, and education, agri-
culture, industry, art, letters and
Africa have been assigned to minis
tiers who are well known Spanish
writers. This literary enterprise,
which will be carried out with the
cooperation of the leading men of all
parties, is notable sign of intel
lectual revival.
The historic peninsula of Spain, in
stead of being ruined by the loss of
her colonies by the war with the
United States, has been benefited by
her deliverance from ruinous eco
monte conditions, says the CORE
spondent The close of the regency
and the opening of the new reign
may mark the beginning of an era Of
progress and prosperity.

The work of preparing the worlds
fir grounds at Forest park, st.
Louis, is necesSitating not only the
destruction and transplanting of
nany giant trees of the primeval
forest, but also the leveling of some
Of the Indian mounds which are scat

these mounds, recently located by ID.

sist, were opened last week. Three
Of them were on the commanding Hill

FOR CHURCH REFORM
British CongregatiOnalists Agitate
for New Architecture.
Hold That the Present Defects in
Churches Make Preaching n DIFF
ficuIt Task-Plans for Suggest
ed improvements.

British Congregationalists are con-
sidering plans for a revolution in
church architecture, based on what
they call "sane lines" The leaders
If the denomination declare that min
isters cannot preach effectively in
the existing auditoriums. They say
that they are determined to produce
school of architects capable of de-
signing houses of worship suited for
the purpose for which they are in
tended. One of the leaders of the
agitation said to the Chicago Record
Herald correspondent:
MANY preachers waste half their
spiritual power over Sunday fighting
The echoes of magnificent distances.
A New York minister relates how he
is compelled by the position of the
pulpit in a 100000 church to send
his voice through 40 feet of empty,
air before he can hit human soul.
Similar architectural absurdities
abound In England, To build after
this fashion is as if when ordered to
erect a gun factory the architect
should construct a greenhouse.
1.-THE feebleness of the church as
4 creator of moral energy is to no
small extent due to the weird style
Of its buildings, the inner spaces of
which, along with mistaken features
of adornment, conspire to battle
against the pastors eloquence. An
auditorium should group the hearers
compactly about the speaker. It
should push forward no columns nor
the roseate splendors of colored glass
to compete with the message from
the pulpit. The preacher requires for
his full effect that the whole inward
movement of his soul, expressed by
word, look and gesture, should fall
with uninterrupted impact on all who
hear"
The architectural reformers pro-
pose numerous other reforms to in
crease the hold of the church on the
masses, such as some sort of substi-
tute for the saloon, a church theater
and sports programme.

Uses Girls a. Messepsers.

The growing tendency of boy mes
sengers toward levity and neglect has
caused Reuters telegram agency,
London, to experiment with girl mes
sengers. One hundred and twenty
girls are now enrolled for day duty.
They are neatly attired in blue serge,
with little wallets hung around their
necks. Their quickness, willingness
and intelligence have charmed Reu-

One of these daughters was the late
Miss Belle Mckenzie, of Woodside,
an elderly spinSter, who had great
love for her half-Sister's little girl,
Hazel.
One of the treasures Of the dead
woman was an old mahogany bureau
made in England in 1851. 1t had al
ways been kept locked in the lifetime
OF the spinster and at her death the
key could not be found.
A family consultation was held and
II was decided to break it open. This
was done, the back falling out and
revealing a secret compartment. The
6rst thing that came to the eyes of
the startled women was the will,
which made little Hazel her heiress.

The crow is the evil genius of tho
turtle just as of the diamond-ba and
other terrapina. When the warm days
of spring come and the female terra
pins and turtles leave their beds in tho
marsh, the crow goes on guard, know
Ing that a season Of feasting is at hand.
Both terrapins and turtles seek the
warm, sandy uplands near the shore
to deposit their eggs. A hole is dug
several inches deep and from 60 to 80
inches oblong, while eggs are deposit
ed and then the nest is filled or covered
with sand. Having neatly piled tho
sand over the eggs, the turtle raises
herself just us high as is possible, then
comes down with a heavy thud on the
sand. This is continued until the sand
is quite hard, when the eggs are left
for the sun to hatch In the meantime
the crow has been on guard, and by
means of his sharp bill and strong
claws the work of breaking into the
treasure house of the unsuspecting
turtle is quickly accomplished and
the feast is soon over. The crow is con-
sidered by many to be the greatest en-
envy the diamondback has. 1t is an
easily established fact that the crow
destroys thousands of the eggs of all
kinds of terrapins, not making an ex-
ception of the diamond backs.-Balti-
