in a small amount of change, and

me, having kept it since the out

odd lmsaance.

There are not many people who
can claim to have been married at
both ends Of a church; but such a
claim was made by a lady who
was visiting Hampstead Parish
church the other day, When this
church was built the altar was
placed, as usual, at the end of the
building; but when restored some
years ago q chancel was built at
the west end and all the seats re.
versed. The lady in question had
been married at the church under
the old arrangement. She then
became a widow and after the al
teration in the church went to bt
married there again.

The truth is spoken, even at the
expense of being Considered incon

But the most beautiful thing
in Madeira that I have yet seen is
the winding, narrow and steep
road down which YOU toboggan
from the hotel on the hill to al
most the level of the sea. The
toboggan is pushed and pulled by
two men, who chatter and gestic-
ulate all the way and pause at
least half a dozen times to de-
mand a drink, which is sternly
refused. The toboggan is prac-
tically a basket chair that holds

the view one gets from the differ
ent turns in the descent are
enough in themselves to justify
the claim of Madeira to be one Of
the most beautiful islands in the
world. On either side of the road
rise high white walls, sometimes
overhung with flowers, and lean
ing over them under the shade of
the trees you pass every now and
then some of those pretty girls
who are the exceptions. But far

Has Charm Of Antiquity-Quaint Is

The more YOU see of Madeira the
more beautiful it becomes, says
the Pail Mall Gazette. The vege-
tatiou for so mountainous an is
land is extraordinarily luxuriant,
and its architecture remains much
as it was two centuries ago. On
the sea level the heat is at times
overpOwering, but if you get OIL
board the tiny train that runs up
the mountain and alight at some
hotel the change is as delightful
as it is instantaneous. You walk
under the greenest avenues of
trees, along quaint footpaths
where little fountains play and
only the faintest sunshine can
pierce through the thick foliage
The Portuguese are not very in
teresting people, and they are Ger
tainly not handsome-neither the
men nor the women-but they
have made the most and best OF
Madeira and one learns with sor
row that some enterprising Ger
mans have acquired land on the
island and are going to exploit il
as a sanatOrium.

THE VICTORIA WATER FALLS.
One of the Greatest Wonders of Its
Class in World.

One OF the Greatest wonders OF Ats
Class in World.
Among the wonders of the
world, and one of the greatest Of
it's class, must be counted the Vic.
toria Falls, on the Zambesi. The
quantity of water that flows over
the precipice is computed to be
considerably larger than that of
the Niagara Falls, and the drop
is nearly twice as great, being
over 400 feet. Hnce it is com
puted that while 100000 horse
power is present at Niagara, five
times as much runs to waste On
the Zambesi. This mighty force is
about to be harnessed. Electrical
engineers reckon that they can
run railways, work mines, do any
amount of electro chemical work,
and even transmit power to the
Rand gold fields by utilization of
this stupendOus energy. Engi-
neering states that according to
American estimates, with condi-
lions similar to those of RhOdesia.
it will be possible to convey the
current $50 miles and deliver il
at a cost of 500 per kilwatt pei
annum, the load being on for "a
hours of the day. Within a radius
of 800 miles of the falls are in
cluded the Wankie coal fields

1t is a gratifying thing to a poor

Is just as good as anybody else.
1t is a comforting fact to know
that all men have equal rights to
life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. But the right to equal
ity and the show of it, says the
WOman's Home Companion, are
different things; and it is certain
that in America to-day one of the
most unpleasant phases of demo

Of rs are anxious to give visible
sign that we are equal to our
neighbors. The desire to become
a millionaire Is not reprehensible,
though it is an ambition which
most men are better without. The
attempt, however, born of the
democratic feeling to live like a
millionaire on the income of a
boOkkeeper is distinctly danger

are used to class distinction, the
man Of the middle class, though
he may not be quite satisfied with
his position, does not try to live
beyond it. Thousands Of Ameri-

realize that equality proven b.
paying out a dollar when they cal
Gfford but 80 cents is equalit,
proven by a false means and
m|eretricOus possession, the bel
ter for all concerned. An Amer
can rightly cOngratulates himsel
that his is the opportunity to ris
as high as he can, no matter VIVA
his beginniRg-that if he ca
prove himself worthy, he ma
stand before kings. But he is mil
taken, and takes away from tn
blessing of the American oppOl
unity, if he attempts to 90 t
court in a borrowed coat. ]
America means anything, 1t
that equality is not based on mi
terial possession or previous col
ditiOn. 1t is based on things MOI
spiritual and. eternal-on tn
manllness of man. American
who show equality in this sp
GiOus way rob themselves of the.
dght-the right Of the individui
to be himself and yet to be ii
equal Of all others.
