The tariff barons are having
their own way in Congress. AS
things are, Republican managers
will have to shoulder everything
until the next great struggle for
the Presidency. There is work
that ought to be done that the
Republicans are afraid to do
They are alarmed about divisions
in their own ranks. While in full
possession of the Government they
can present no excuses for nom
action that will be valid to the
rank and file. They are on q
narrow path between mountain
and q precipice.

Algernon.

Greater forms have filled the grave,
And their praises sung awhile;
None are God so sure to save,
AS the little infant child.
The angels that watched the tomb,
Where Jesus was laid to sleep,
Took our little baby home
And laid him at the Savior's feet.
Nor forever in the dust
Shall his little body lie,
For in the garden OF the just
He will blossom again on high.
While in the casket lying low,
Sleeps our darling little pet,
How sweet for us to know
The gem that fills it sparkles yet.
ONE WHO LOVED HIM.

forded to the monks place of recrea-
tion when they abandoned, for short
time, the solitary cell.
On the west side, the monastery is
connected with the church
The architecture of the church is
based on the general outlines of the By
zantine style. with a slight transition
to the italian renaissance in its details,
so that the artistic effects OF the great
Hagia Sofia. and the beautiful -certosa
of Pavia have been adapted to Francis
can simplicity. The church is in the
shape of five-fold cross. which was
the coat-of-arms of the Latin Kingdom
of Jerusalem. adopted by Godfrey of
main body of the church. and the small
crosses being represented by the chapels
The Sanctuary.
The central aisle of the large cross
has at the entrance of the church a
portico, which supports a gallery. At
the other end is the sanctuary, the
point of attraction for which the whole
structure has been arranged The two
extremities of the transepts of the
church are closed off two elegant apses
to which light enters through a series of
small arches. Arches again support the
upper windows, so that the whole ar
rangement of rows of columns and
arches of various sizes forms an elegao.
of the church.
The ceiling is partly vaulted and part
ly fiat, and is ornamented with panels
and rosettes of various designs. The
sanctuary is an exact reproduction of
the Holy Sepulchre precisely as it ex-
lists in Jerusalem. Two marble stair
ways, one on either side of 1t, lead TO
Mount Calvary, which forms the high
altar of the church. In the apses in
both extremities of the transepts are en-
frances to the underground chapeIs. the
one to the right being reproduction of
the grotto of Nazareth, and the one to
the left. of the grotto of Bethlehem.
These tive grottos are connected with
each other by an underground passage
in the shape of the Catacombs of Rome,
which has in it's center a crypt in imi-
tation of the ancient sepulchral cham
bers where an altar was erected over
