Monumental Brasses.

At the beginning of the thirteenth
century 1t occurred to some one to
preserve the likeness of his departed
friend, as well as the symbols of his
rank and station, says the Gentleman's
Magazine. So effigies were introduced
upon the surface OF the slabs, and were
carved fiat. but ere fifty years had
passed away, the art OF the sculptor
produced magnificent monumental ef-
fgies. Knights and mobiles lie clad
in armor with their ladies by yns4r
sides; bishops and abbots bless che
spectators with uplifted right hands:
judges lie in their official garb; ane
merchants with the emblem of their
trade. At their feet lie animals.
usually having some heraldic connec-
ton with the deceased, or symbolical
of his work; e. g., dragon is trodden
down beneath the feet of a bishop.
signifying the defeat of sin as the re-
suit of his ministry. The heads of
efagies usually rest on cushions which
are sometimes supported by two
angels.

Game to Tempt the Sportsman.

Hunting big game has an irresistible
attraction for all sportsmen, and the
more rare the species being sought,
the more keen is the hunters delight.
The big game of this country is COM
paratively well known, but Asia offers
some rare species, they are sought
every year by countless sportsmen of
all nationalities, usually without sue
cess.
An ambition of big game hunters
is to capture, or shoot, snow leopard.
This rare animal lives on the snow
covered Himalayas, and seldom is seen
at an elevation of less than II 900 feet
He is beautiful creature, white as
the snow he lives among, and is both
wild and savage. Even in the great
attitudes where he makes his home
he is extremely rare, and not only
have few persons shot him, but few
even have seen him. Any one who
wants to stand in the first rank of big
game men should try for a snow
leopard; If he gets one his reputation
is made.
An animal known to exist, but of
which no white man ever has seen
the dead body, is the mountain ibex of
Kamchatka. This great peninsular of
Kamchatka, whose half million
square miles is inhabited by less than
1000 people, is probably the least
known of any land in the world not
circumpolar. Down its center runs a
chain of great mountains, many of
them active volcanoes and others COW
cred with thick forests up to height
of 1000 or 5000 feet. Above the tim
Der line lives species of ibex, or
mountain sheep, larger and stronger
than any that exist elsewhere. The
natives show bits of the skins of these
| animals and some of their enormous
horns, but no white man ever has seen
whole one alive or dead, much less
killed one

The morning Of the following day
Her Majesty's ship Triumphant lay at
her anchors OF Saucelito. in San Fran
cisco Bay.
Though the admiral did not know
1t, one Of the very first to greet him
when he set his. foot on dry land at
the bottom of Market street was the
man he had licked so thoroughly fif-
teen years before in Melbourne.

his chief runner, who was about the

amt changed none. Just SO old he
was when he set about me. I'm goin'

"But how'll you corral the admiral,
sir?" asked Bill.
"You leave that to me-" replied his
boss. Give got a very fruitful notion

Mr.. "Say-it-and-mean-it" Smith laid
for Admiral Sir Richard Dunn, K. c.
B., ETC., ETC., from ten o'clock till half
past eleven, and he was the only man
in the crowd that did not hope the VIC
tim would come down with too many
friends to be tackled.
The admiral came at last; it was
about quarter to twelve, and the
whole waterfront was remarkably
quiet. And the admiral was only ac-

The two were promptly sandbagged,
the lieutenant left on the street and
the admiral carried to the house in

signs of coming to he was promptly
dosed, and his clothes were taken off
him. AS he slept the sleep of the

By four o'clock in the morning Tom
Deane lay fast asleep in a forward
bunk of the CALIFORNIA; fo'c's'le as
she was being towed through the
Golden Gate. And his flag-lieutenant
was inquiring in hospital what had
become Of the admiral. And nobody
could tell him more than he him

fairly hummed to England and the
world generally.

she by way Of helping her out of her

obliged to brush away the tears of hap
piness that struggled to her eyes. Alice
caught their hands together and held
them between her own, with mental
aspiration for their life's future happi-
ness. Some time back she could not
have breathed it in SO fervent spirit;

world and its hopes had closed to her.

Last SUNDAY the MethOdistS O

Last Sunday the Methodists OBJ
served Children's Day. In the morn
ing at II the children of the Sunday
School and Junior League rendered
a special program before large
congregation. The church was
very tastefully decorated with flow
ers and plants, and the warbling of
song birds assisted in making the
proceedings delightful and inter
esting. In the evening the service
was in charge of Evangelist Ber-
wick, of Two Harbors, who with
several others came up to Virginia
on especial" on Sunday morning.
This service was one of great inter-
est and profit, notwithstanding the
fact that the greater part of it was
conducted in the dark in conse-
quence of the failure of the electri-
cal transformer. The singing of the
strangers was very effective, espec-
tally the exquisite rendition of
"Mother's Beautiful Hands," which
touched many hearts. The best of
order prevailed throughout the SER
vice, despite the darkness.
