Tt is curious" says the London Chronicle, ''how St Paups, although the first cathedral church In England that was built actually for the observ- ance of the Anglican ritual, manages nevertheless to retain something of a foreign and Catholic nature in the way 1t offers shelter to the tired pas serby. Apart from the restless groups of sightseers, there are always plenty of people there who have gone in sole ly for the sake of its wonderful peace and quiet.
 "They would have found neither, by the way, in old St. Paul's of the fif- teenth century, for while mass was being said in one chapel, funeral sery- ice in another. and so on, all sorts of commerce was carried on in the middle aisle, from the hiring of servants to the transaction of legal business.
 "We have altered all that nowadays, and St. PauPs Is the quietest spot in the noisiest city in the world"

FROM THE OTHER PAPERS.

The caucus law passed by the last legislature requires that registrars of voters shall be in session each year on the first and second Fridays of Feb ruary and August for the purpose of the enrolment of the voters of each town. After the first day of March. 1902, no person whose nAme is not SO enrolled will have . right to vote in any caucus or primary. The law ap- parently makes no distinction between the towns and cities. The cities have spring elections. but in the towns no caucuses will be held until next fall. The law thereby places the registrars of the towns in somewhat of . quan- dary. If they meet in February the lists will be made up for no special purpose, and the work will have to be done over again in August. If they do not meet in February they act contrary to the state law. Evidently some amendment to the law allowing the registrars to omit the February sessions in cases where there are no elections previous to August. would be desirable. Windsor Looks Journal.

 The order is in a prosperous condition in Connecticut, a net gain of one sub ordinate lodge and 143 members being reported for the past year.
 A motion to adjourn is never in order when a lodge Is in session. A motion to suspend the rules and close in due form" is the proper method to curtail the regular order of business.

Pen., Paper and Royalty,

Whenever the signature of an Eng fish king or queen is required in a vis- itor's book or elsewhere it Is custom ary to provide a new pen, which is not used by the hosts or the other guests unless 1t be handed them by the royal visitor. Another point of etiquette connected with pens and paper is that a letter to a sovereign is written on thick white paper, on one side only, and is placed in an envelope large enough to contain the letter unfolded.
