cannot give the Bishop a power that he did
not derive from above when ne was cOnsecrated
to the apostolic ministry In this resolution
there is no restriction. but it is simply
indiscTminate giving of power which this
council has no right or power to give.
Another thing about this resolution is that
it is vicious in that it does not restrict in

is requirement which furnishes any guard

The visitor to the Falkland islands
sees number of what appear To be
weather beaten, moss covered powders
of various sizes scattered here and
there. On attempting to turn one over
he is surprised to find that it is anchor

strength. These are not powders. They
are trees. No other place in the world
can show such a popularity of forest"
growth. The Falkland islands are ex-
posed to a strong polar wind which rem

If the negro had been forced to COM

have been crushed out by the civilized
power, as the Indian has been, says
Albert Phelps in The Atlantic, but the
peculiar institution of slavery protect
ed him not only from this competition,
but also. by artificial means. from those
great forces of nature which inevitably
weed out the weaker organisms and
which operate most unrestrainedly up
on the ignorant savage. For the first
time, perhaps. In the history of the
world human beings had been bred and
regulated like valuable stock, with as
much care as is put upon the best
horses and cattle. As natural conse-
quence the sanitary condition of the
negro during slavery was remarkable.
especially by contrast with his present
condition. and his growth was the alb
normal growth of a plant abnormally
raised in dollhouse. When, therefore,

Sewing Dome by Ants.

Ants are credited with so many mar
velous accomplishments that a new one
must be remarkable 10 the noteworthy.
Mr.. Z. G. Green of Ceylon, an authori-
" upon insect habits, has, however,
made an observation which is well
worth putting on record. He has watch
ed red ants holding grubs in their
mouths and using the web they spin to
repair n rent in their nest.
Some leaves which had been fastened
together 10y the ants were separated by
Mr.. Green, and I'm n short time after he
saw small white grubs being passed
backward and forward across the gap.
Closer observation showed that each
grub was held in the jaws of one of the
worker ants, and its movements were
directed as required. y continuous
thread of silk issued from the mouth OF
each grub and was used by the ants TO
sew up the rent in their shelter.
There were no grubs in the neighbor-
hood, and those used were obtained
from n nest at some distance. This de-
liberate use of naturally formed web
as n sewing thread is as astonishing as
any instance of the intelligence of ants
yet observed.

QUEEN ELIzABETH's FAULTS
She Was Very Vain and Unfortunately
Fond of Fine Dress.

| She Was Very Vain and Unfortunately
Fond of Fine Dress.
Yet Elizabeth was never really sue
cessful with her wardrobe as a more
| feminine woman might have been. Her
dresses We're never beautiful, only lu-
dicrously and most appropriately,
magnificent-laden with jewels, weight
ed down with cloth of gold, stiff with
silver embroidery and so heavy that
even her big, powerful frame must,
without supporting vanity, have felt
the fatigue of carrying them about.
Elizabeth was certainly vain, but she
cannot claim femininity merely on that
account, for vanity is by no means an
exclusively feminine characteristic.
There are perhaps more vain women
than vain men because women have
more leisure and their costumes afford
greater opportunities for vanity than
the strangely hideous clothing which
custom has arranged for men, but no
thoughtful (feminine) observer can
doubt that n vain man is vainer than a
vain woman.
Elizabeth's hands were her especial
pride, and, judging from her portraits.
they were certainly beautiful. They
were laden with Jewels, and it was her
habit in public 10 pull her rings off
with absent artlessness and push them
on again, moving those white hands
about in the most obvious way. Once,
during the grave consideration of a
state paper, wherein her cold sagacity
never took second place. she interrupt
ed the discussion TO ask whether the
Due d'AnjOu. who was at one time one
of her suitors, had been told what n
pretty foot she had and how white and
well rounded was her arm? This in
the woman who financed the armada
with hard headed economy, who dared
the superStitious terTors of her own
conscience in her high handed and i'm
pudent treatment Of the bishops, whose
interest in methods of torture for state
prisoners was most mechanical and in
telligent, entirely unhampered by any
sQueamiSh feminine hesitation as to
blood or pain. is most curious.
In connection with this last charac-
teristic of cruelty vanity is not at all
unprecedented. Indeed, if one observe
closely one will notice that excessively
vain persons have almost always a
strange inclination toward cruelty.
The accounts of what Queen Elizabeth
permitted and indeed commanded in
this respect will hardly bear reading
by us sensitive folk today.-Margare
Deland in Harper'S Bazaar.

Process. Too Expensive.

FL
k@Warts are curious things, They
come and go mysteriously, although
their going is frequently marked by
exasperating delays, and therea are al
most as many infallible cures as there
are warts. the only trouble with these
cures being that they are useless when
applied TO the particular wart You hap
pen to have. They are only good for
other peoples.
'In my opinion said clubman who
was discussing the subject with a
friend one day, "a wart is merely the
outward correspondence of some 'men-
tai excrescenee. Get rid of that, and
it goes away.
y Let me give you a bit of my own
experience" he continued. Last year
1 went to Europe. For about three
years had had n wart on my little fin
ger, on which L had tried everything l
could hear of, but without effect. 1t
only grew larger.
well, in the excitement of preparing
for the trip and of the journey itself L
forgot all about my wart, and when 1
looked for it about six weeks later it
had vanished without leaving the
slightest mark. 1 simply forgot it, and
it had no mental condition to feed on.
L see you have one on the back of your
hand. Forget all about it for n few
weeks. and it will go away of itself"
, Yes" said the other clubman, shrug-
ging his shoulders, but L can't afford
TO take Il trip to Europe for the sake of
curing one wart."
