istence, the site was occupied by a
small Saxon church, built by monastic
body of the Benedictine order, who
named the place Western Monastery, or
Westminster, probably to distinguish it
from St. Paul's in London, which was
called East Minister.
The beginning Of the present edifice
was a church built in the form Of a
erucifix by Edward the Confessor and
consecrated in 1865, exceeding in mag
nificence any sacred building at that
time in England. Since that time the

changes in the architecture OF the ed.

original general plan still dominates
The length Of the whole is 511 feet, the
greatest width 2O3 feet and the height
Of the roof 1O2 feet.

Navy, has won an amiable reputation
as a man Of solidity Of character.
On one occasion when an opponent
protested that he had been done an in
justice, Mr.. Moody with quick courtesy
instructed the stenographers to furnish
an abstract of the speech to the pro-
testing member, so that the latter
might have opportunity to mark for
expurgation any Objectionable para
graphs.
When a colleague at one time doubt
ed whether Mr.. Moody's constituents
would indorse measure he was SUD-
porting, he replied:
II was not sent here to shake and
shiver like dry leaf in a November
gale whenever protest came from
home, but to exercise my intelligence
and to vote for measures according to
how, in my best judgment, they would
benefit or injure the people, Phila-

Marry just as soon as you can, young
man-when you are certain of your abil-
ity to support your wife-and take my
word for it, you will not regret the step.
You will be amazed how your wife will
aid you in all your efforts. All this, Of
course, presupposes that you marry a
sensible woman, one who will help you
to achieve your ambitions. In this class
are not included social butterflies. l
should hesitate to recommend an invest
ment Of the latter characters.

Cramp Pleased the Gar.

Charles II. Cramp, the veteran ship

day of his visit to Gear Alexander of
Russia, the father of the present ruler,
when he received the first order TO.

the great empire of northern Europe.

dignitaries," he said, land while he was
graciousness itself was none the less
embarrassed. You see, was not used
to that sort Of thing and really was
wondering every minute just what
would happen and what would be ex.

close to me as we talked, and 1 found
myself wishing were a bigger man

The American flag has passed its
125th birthday. It was on June II,
1777, that Congress-, then in session at
Philadelphia, resolved that the flag
of the United States be 10 stripes, al
ternate red and white; the union to be
13 stars, white on a blue field, repre-
senting new constellation, the stars
to be arranged in a circle"
1t has often been asked what sug-
gested the design for the star-spangled
banner. There are many traditions
afloat, but the one in which there is un-
doubtedly the most truth credits the
design to Washington. The General
found in the coat-of-arms Of his own
family hint from which he drew the
design. The coat-of-arms of the Wash
ington family has two red bars on a
white ground and three gilt stars above
the top bar. The American flag once
decided upon was rushed through in a

be your benefactor."1: The ordinary indi-
vidual would much rather make two dol
lars to jingle in his pocket or add to
the value Of his private wealth than to
make $40 in public improvements, even
for his own benefit, so he seeks every ad-
vantage to make dollars for himself and
rarely hunts work for the public, and his
neighbor, the supervisor in the circum-
scribed road district, often disregarding
his official duty, fails to call out his men
at the proper time, and when called out
fails to work them in the proper manner,
and we call this road system and howl
because we have poor roads.
This country is much too enlightened
and wealthy forever to be subject to a
halt Of its traffic during prolonged humid
conditions, and we must soon make a
start for permanent roads. How? By
the Inauguration Of road system by the
government of the United States and the
yearly appropriation Of not less than $780,
100000, this money to go to localities
which would supplement it with an equal
amount, the whole to be spent under the
direction Of government engineers.
Where could money be spent to better
advantage? Not on questionable improve
ments on rivers and creeks, nor in build
ing superfluous vessels for our navy that
will be old junk in few years. An army
Of men could be permanently employed
| on roads and the whole country perma-
| nently benefited. Think Of it! A single
| battleship costs as much as the building
| OF thousand miles Of permanent road,
and we have a sufficiency of the former
and there can he no debate ahont rhe
need Of the latter. Such policy could
be entirely free from politics.
Then the great capitalists like Carne-
gle, who has so literally and intelligent
| " given to the cause Of education, would
give other millions to lift the bodies Of
the public out of the mire, as they have
given millions to emancipate their minds.
What a monument to a mans generosity
and sagacity would be a stretch Of per-
manent highway built by his fat.

Clever Schemes of Advertisers to Swim.

There is never much sympathy vast
ed on man who tries to buy counter
.feit money and gets fooled, nor will
anybody weep for the victims of new
hoax which, writes Washington cor
respondent, was recently unearthed by
the postofice department.
The attention Of the department was
called to an advertisement which ap-
peared in large number of papers, Of
fering for 1.-THE small sum of two dol
lars. to teach by quick; safe, sure
and easily learned method" how to
open cash register without the aid of
a key. The department at once took
steps to secure the valuable informa-
ton. >
1t was found that the "method" was
impartedaby means Of a small circular.
This circular gave instructions to Sc
cure an ak weighing, lin order to OBJ
tain the best results" in the neighbor-
hood Of ten pounds.
Then the pupil is to take his position
before the register he wishes to open,
advance the left foot, stand firmly,
swing the Ak with both hands, and then
strike the register with all his might,
repeating the blow until the desired
result Is attained. The Instructions
close with the warning that for sue
cessful operation of the "quick, safe,
sure and unfailing' method, it Is de-
sirable that the operator be alone with
the register. - ."
This recalls the ''potato-bug EXTERN
1nator'' which was advertised some
years ago. The victims Of that swindle
were honest people in search of slegiti-
mate information, but the circular of
instructions that accompanied the two
small pieces Of wood that they re-
ceived for their half dollar might have
been written by the same person who
devised the new method Of opening
cash registers. It read:
"Catch the bug. Place him carefully
on block number one, enclosed. Smite
him with block number two. also en-
closed. Wipe blocks, and proceed as
before"

The tombs and monuments in the

the life stories Of those who are buried
