alone of this beautiful structure would
be esteemed great architectural I'M
dertaking. 1t is 154 feet long, 80 feet
wide and 100 feet from the floor to the
ridge of the roof, with seating capacity
for 1,5OO persons. 10 support this six
granite piers have been built. These are
twenty-eight feet long by twelve feet
wide and twenty feet high, set on solid
beds of concrete averaging twenty feet
in depth. On these rests the floor Of
the choir, which is about thirty feet
above the level of Morningside drive.
Eight mammoth monolithic pillars,
next to the largest stones ever quar-
rled, are to surround three sides of the
altar. The stones have been taken
from the quarry at Vinalhaven. Each
stone is 81 feet inches long, with an
average diameter of six feet and n
weight of more than 100 tons. The to.
tai cost of the eight when finally in po
sition will be over 100000.

scatfolding still surrounds portions of
the mighty editice. The cathedral is
some $50 feet long and about 16O feet
wide, rather wider than that at Canter-
bury. The style of architecture is early
Christian Byzantine, similar to that in.
which st. Sophia at Constantinople is
built. Although the shell of the build
ing will first be completed, it will be
some time before the finishing touches
to the editice are made. The interior of
the cathedral when complete will de-
serve the adjective magnificent. The

Out of Proportion.

We often wonder why short men are,
in many cases, more able than their
tall brethren, but there is a natural
reason for it.
Tall men. as rule, have bodies out
of proportion to their lower limbs that
Is, smaller than they ought to be-with
the natural result that they are unable
to bear fatigue, or to compete in the
struggles of life with lesser men more
tremendously porportioned. Army ex-
perience bears out these observations.
In long and fatiguing march the tall
men usually fall out first or succumb
to campaigning, unless as is very rare
~ the case, they have well-knit and
symmetrical frames. A soldier between
five feet five inches, and five feet eight
inches or nine inches is usually the man
most capable of bearing the strajs-of
life.

Cruelty Of booking.

Time and time again has the ques-
ton of docking the tails of horses been
discussed, and always the question of
humanity comes out on top. All the
driving horses in Russia have long
tails and the coachman Of an ordinary
Russian carriage takes no trouble to
prevent the reins from dropping about
his horses hind quarters. In spite of
this, however, the reins rarely become
entangled with the tail, and even II
they should do so the horses never
kick. This striking fact is an eloquent
answer to those who uphold the cruel
practice of docking, on the grounds
that otherwise the horse is liable to flap
his tail over the reins.

.Ex-pueen in Close Exile.

France has much to blush for in the
treatment which has been accorded to
ex,Queen Ranavolo of Madagascar.
Though the Queen was removed from
her capital with little ceremony after
the conquest of Madagascar and sent
into exile at Algiers, she was allowed
to take with her small retinue of ma
tive attendants. She was deprived one
by one Of these attendants until there
was left to her only one, an old dig
nitary of the court who took the office
of interpreter for Ranavolo, though, she
speaks English, knew no word of
French. Now they have sent the in
terpreter back to Madagascar and left
the Queen alone with her guards. 1t
has been decided that she is never again
to hear her native tongue and never
again to see one of her own race,
though France has wrested from her
her ancestral domains and she is help
less in the hands of France. Her posi-
ton seems to call for some of the pity
which the French have been Offering
SO literally to Kruger Her guards at
Algiers are all about her house, and
she is treated with scant respect.

will be remembered that Daley and
Brewer made IN assault upon Mr.. Cum

from town. He was held nip for what
money he had on his person and then

which Banker Davies had made his es-

got out and eluded the authorities for
some time. During this time the country
was secured in the search, the searchers
being under the direction Of the sheriff
and p. j. Cunningham. Mrs. Lapole,
alias Mrs. Heckle, alleged in her petition
that during the search she was dragged
from bed one night by the men who were
looking for Dnley and hung up by the
neck for the purpose of making her tell
where Daley was hidden. She also states
that she was subjected to other indigni-

An Ahductor CAPTURED.

Sheriff Johnson of Bloomington, H.,
came to Davenport and secured Marion
Bowman, the abductor of Nellie An
drews, the 6-year-old child who was stol-
en- not long since, and has taken him to
Bloomington to answer to the charge of
abduction. The little girl was taken back
to her mother at the same time. The as
sertion of Bowman that he was to marry
the child's mother had no weight with
the sheriff, who says the prisoner will be
prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
1t appears that the mother often allowed
Bowman to take the child to Bloomington
with him and 1t was on one of these
7 trips that he ran away with the little girl.
