with this spot for base The un-

historic interest.
The present Tabernacle was com

April o. 1867. 1t was then without

feet to ceiling and 80 feet to top, was

more striking in appearance then than
even after the gallery was erected.
Speakers at first found it difficult to
make their voices heard in some parts
OF the vast building, especially if they
turned to the right or left when ad-

How He Mortified Her.

One pleasant day last fall, so the
story goes, President Hadley CT Yale
was strolling through the beautiful
campus of Dartmouth college with his
wife on his arm. They were admiring
the beautiful buildings which dot the
campus, several of them having been
erected by wealthy alumni. Presently
they came to an especially noble hall,
built of stone and occupying a COM
handing site. Over the main entrance
was a marble tablet which announced
that the hall had been erected by John
c. Blank as a memorial to his beloved
wife"
President Hadley stood and looked at
the noble pile for moment. Then he
heaved sigh that was almost envious.
"Ah," he said, that is what I should
like to do for my college" -.
And to this day. the boys declare.
President Hadley cannot understand
why his wife should have looked so

A hundred years ago the French
market, so called, was one of the sights
Of New Orleans. It is the same today.
A century ago, visitors to New Orleans
went to the market there to drink
chocolate and coffee, renowned as the
most delicious in America. Today
they flock thither for the like purpose.
a hundred times more of them than
there were in 1903. 1t almost seems
that the negro nanny who stood in
the French market and sold praline
candy three generations ago was the
selfsame Aunt Sukey whose brilliant
red bandanna turban today CLEANS
from afar and draws the stranger to
the spot where in the eyes OF all the
world she makes her sweets. Aunt
Sukey boils cane mo1asses in a big
brass kettle upon a weak legged little
stove, talking meanwhile to the hauid
and the visitors. The sweetmeat is
made by boiling the molasses till it is
stiff enough to ladle out into cakes or
patties, then sprinkling the cakes
thickly with pecan kernels. Aunt Su
key, white aproned, stands over her
brass kettle with big wooden spoon.
New Orleans houses are built of
wood, many of them with a piIlared
two story porch in front. These porch
es in the south are universally called
galleries. In the heat of the day the
houses are closed and silent. Let the
