The deceased was an intense, capable
end industrious worker. Doubtless his
lll-health in the later years Of his life
was caused by his too close devotion
TO his labOTs Whatsoever he did, as a
rule, was done with all his might. When
ho first began to fail he imagined his
condition was the result OF his not
having sufficient physical exercise Inn
Pressed by this idea he adopted a prac-
tise Of arising unusually early In the
morning, and digging IN his garden.
The result was that he broke down
while thus engaged. His physician in
formed him that he had injured himself
by too much sedentary work and now
he was on the road to finish himself
by excessive physical exertion.
In every capacity he was not only
excessively Industrious. but equally
conspicuous for thoruughness. AS an
accountant he was an expert and even
during his prolonged illness kept his
affairs up to date. and doubtless he left

sTonded 10 the call to another sphere
OF activity in the spirit world He had

3n the long run the best of systems can
do little more than reduce the loss
which is eventually inevitable owing to
the heavy percentage in favor of the

between the bank and the player as

naturally staggered by the magnitude
of these figures and looked into the
matter. He concluded that the amount
staked each year was about $500 600

80 per cent of the money. In other

NOTRE DAME.
The Cathedral Church of Paris Has
Had Many Hard Blows.

Placed in the very heart of the soil
of the ancient city, the Cathedral OF
Notrc Dame has experienced blows
from all the cXcitementS which Paris
has ever known. 1t W pillaged in
1893 at the worst moment of the revo-
luton. There We're twenty-eight stat
ues of kings and holy men in the old
cathedral. All of these were broken,
and the affairs were upset. 1t was de-
cided by the commune that \Otre Dame
Should he turned into temple of rea-
son. and festival was instituted for
every day. But the madmen of the
revolution soon grew tired of their fctee

was abolished to be- replaced 10y that
OF the Supreme Being
The Cathedral Of our Lady was re-
stored to the Catholics in 1895, since
when. despite communes and revolu-
tions. they have been little troubled.
Indeed. in Jrly. 1890 when Notre Dame
became n sort Of fortress or barricade
against the insurrection, when the tIf-
colored flag foatcd from both its tow
sacked. the cathedral itself WAS not
harmed. A year or so later the Church
of ST. German rAuxerrois was invad-
cd and almost ruined. The mob then
marched on the archhshop's palace
and effaccd il from tho earth, but Notrc
Dame was again respected. The anger
Of the people was turned into respect
at its grand facade.
This cathedral of Paris has been as
sociatcd with nearly every important
act during the reigns of all the kings
as well as with innumcrablc other cap
ital events in the history of France
which have happened since its first
erection. How many the kings, the
queens, the celebrated personages, who
have come to worship or to pray in
that sanctuary. How many the pollt-
ical or religious festivals, of joys or
sorrows. of dynastic changes and Of
revolutions, which have been brought
on, so 10 speak, within its naves during
these nearly 900 years. Births and
marriages, the deaths of sovercigns,
the coronations of kings and cmperors,
the blessing of flags, prayers for bat
tics gained and for peace proclaimed
those are few of the many things
witnessed at Notrc Dame.
