bit Of doubt. l am prouder than ever
of being a heather, as distinguished
from being Christian" Well, there is
very little difference between heather
and Christian, if the latter does not
keep Gods commandments. AS one
of the saints says, "What is the use of
believing like a Christian and living
like heathen?" The observant Hin
doc has seen in Christian England and
Christian America, the two noble
Anglo Saxon nations, things that
would cause the heathens of his coun-
try to blush with shame. No wonder
he is prouder than ever of being a
pagan.
Major General Brooke, of the United
States army, is an Anglomaniac of the
first water. In speech at the recent
birthday celebration Of King Edward
Of England, in New York, he said
among other things: England has
er conquered any country but for that
country's good. Loro Kitchener has
immense difficulties in his way, but
the flag of England will in time pro-
claim freedom to all the lands of South
Africa. Otis, Merritt, Macarthur and
Chaffee have been doing similar duty
in the Philippines" Yes, they have,
and Balfour declared in the British
parliament that Kitchener was only
following their example. This babbling
Brooke should be prohibited from dis
gracing the uniform he wears by his
un-American utterances.
A learned Protestant divine named
DR.. Roberts, pastor of "The Church Of
This World" at Kansas City, recently
spoke to his congregation thus: "The
Roman Catholic, when his friend is
dead, believes that in order to rescue
him from the hands of the devil it is
necessary for the priest to say masses
for the dead mans soul. That is the
Roman Catholic theory" A little
Catholic boy who has studied his cate
chism knows more about hell and pur-
gatory than does DR.. Roberts. We
would suggest to our esteemed con
temporary, the Catholic Register, to
send the ignorant minister a copy of
the catechism used at Sunday scnool
to disabuSe him of his erroneous no.
tons regarding prayers for the dead.

CONVENT LANTERNS.
An Old Fad with Modern Improve
ments - An Electrical
Display.

In the old days favorite fad for
travellers in ancient lands was the col
lection of lanterns. Those from ruined
converts. decayed mosques and pow
erty-stricken shrines were prime favor
ties. The fad is not entirely dead, but
the supply has run so short that now
enterprising firms in Birmingham,
England, and in New York turn out
large numbers of excellent limitations,
saws the Post. The new ones are
made by hand, and, so far as
strength and durability are concerned,
are superior to the ancient designs,
which were hand made, but the latter
in many instances were ornamented
with inlaid work, as well as with carv-
ing and twisting of the most artistic
type. The machine-made goods can
never reproduce these Latter character
istics so we'll as to deceive an expert.
The material of the lanterns varies
from fine woods and glass to iron, steel,
brass, bronze, copper, pewter, and even
silver. The simplest forms are cylin-
ders which are perforated with nu-
merous holes, so as TO resemble the
clumsy sieve. Then comes globes, cubes,
octahedra, hexagonal prisms, ovoids
and more complex solid forms. The
prettiest of all are the mosque Ian
terms. Many of them are of bronze in
laid with silver, pierced with little
windows, and these closed in turn with
white or colored glass. With lighted
candle inside they look like a mass of
Jewels in dark room. A wealthy man
on Brooklyn Heights, who has trav-
eled a great deal, has one of has rooms
illuminated by lanterns of this type
They range in size from small affairs
four inches in diameter to stately
lamps a foot in diameter and two feet
high. In place of candles inside he en-
ploys electric lights, one bulb to the
smaller lanterns and three. four and
dozen to the larger ones. When the
current is turned on the splendor Of
the effect is almost startling. The
colors of the glass. have been deep
ened and made richer by the years, and
the radiance they give may be com
pared to that from a great oriel in &
Gothic cathedral.

They may need these seven votes to
knock out U. S. Senator Harris in two

seven retaining their seats, or as any
senator of the majority. They have
therefore just as much reason to make

TRAVELS A MILE A MINUTE.
High Speed Reached by a Trolley
Car in the sIow-Going City
of Philadelphia.

In whatever other respects Philade1-
phia may be slow she has trolley car
which sweeps through the city in the
gray hours of dawn and which, taken
day by day, is swifter than anything
else of it's kind or class in the world
It starts from the heart of the city Just
after the newspapers are out of press
and tears away through the silent
streets in a northerly and westerly d.
rection, up and down hill and along
valleys, with occasional stops to throw
out bundles until 27 minutes later it
rests on the northern summit of Chest
nut hill, 14M miles away. This is at
the average rate of 35 miles an hour, in
Guiding at least one stop every three
fourths of a mile, says the New York
Sun.
Sometimes on its route it has run
mile in Is minutes and it has made the
distance in 25 minutes, including the
stops, which is just the schedule time
of the steam express trains for practi-
cally the same distance between the
same places, though on neither the
Reading nor the Pennsylvania railways
do the trains make any stops. Some
times, as on market day, there are in
terruptions when sleepy teams get on
the lines of metals, and occasionally
another trolley car gets behind time
and doesn't give it the right of way
promptly, but despite the occasional
delays, for two years, in all conditions
of weather, facing rain or snowh with
mechanical incidents adverse to it's
career, it has made on an average 35
trims out of IS on time and ONLY once
has it been longer than As minutes in
covering the distance. On that occa-
sion the wreck of hay wagon was on
the road and for this the Eagle Flight
trolley was not responsible.
From the fact that this car carries
the morning newspapers for distribu-
ton it might. be thought to be jour
nalistic enterprise in Philadelphia, but
this is not the case. It is an experiment
by the Union Traction company to test
the maintenance of high speed and the
evenness of schedule time under con-
ditions peculiarly favorable for secur-
ing exact factors for all the problems
it is sought to solve. Every trip is OBJ
served by electrical experts, the induc-
tion is estimated, the power measured,
the state of the metal the thermomet-
rica1 and barometricaI conditions no
ted, S we'll as the humidity and fog a t
the different elevations along the line.
and when 1000 trips have been made
the data thus gathered will be consid-
cred, with view of formulate ting re-
suit to be applied in such directions of
economy and accelerated speeds as may
be opened up.
