On the anniversary of the late Queen Victoria'S accession every year q sermon is delivered in Durham Cathedral. which must not be Of more than a quar- ter of an hours duration. For this the preacher receives 16 guineas, but there is nothing to show how the custom orig mated
 Not many people know the meaning of the 'Lion" Thanksgiving sermon. which Is preached in the Church of St. Cathe- rfne Cree in Leadenhall Street every year. In the seventeenth century Sir John Saver, then Lord Mayor of London, was travelling in the east, when he had a mi- raculous escape from being killed by . sion. On his return he ordered that a thanksgiving sermon should be preached every year, and set aside a sum of money the interest on which was to be given to the poor while the preacher retained what he considered fair price for his sermon. s Els
 What is probably the largest sum paid for sermon in the world every year goes into the pocket of some lucky Ger man preacher and amounts to 2720 In 1890 wealthy French baron named Fa- vart. who resided in Elberfeld, died and beQueathed his riches to the Protestant church there on condition that 1t should be invested and the interest given an- nually to some clerbyman chosen hapha- gard from those holding the poorest liv- ings in the, see, on condition that he preach a short sermon extoling the ba- ron's good deeds.

 Although the preacher benefits but little. the sermon preached at St. 0iless Church in the city in memory of one Charles Langley every year Is very richly en- dowed.

He takes pains to leave on the visitor's mind the distinct impression that he is ths tortured victim of nagging wife. He also seeks to give the impression that he is a silent. uncomplaining victim, but this plan hardly works.
 With the wife there are no sly innuen- does, nor is there any attempt at posing as the silent uncomplaining martyr. She talks fright out in meeting of the hus- bands shortcomings, of the exasperation his presence is to her. of his deliberate. cold blooded intention to make it so
 It is plain they detest each other. They chaw and snari at each other whenever they are together; they offend exery in stinct of kindiiness and good Will; they violate the rules of common courtesy, these two who are perfect in their be- havior toward every one else. Why is 1t?

 Lately have been pondering a curious, very serious problem. To begin, l have returned from a short stay in the country. One family in whose home I spent some time has a charming house. I really couldn't wish my heaven to be more beau tiful than that place is. There is actually A clear view all around of the glorious dome of the sky, shining blue and white. It was a year since I had seen the sky all around free and unobstructed when beheld it there. Trees, lofty and waving shimmering in many shades Of radiant green, are there. Lawns of emerald grass more beautiful in their smootnness than any velvet sheen stretch far eye can see. Clumps of flowers meet the eye. Laden fruit trees and a vegetable garden are in the grounds at the rear. There Is a carriage house, too, and in It are a stylish vehicle and a handsome, gentle horse that can go like the Wlno. Ihey even possess chickens. this fortunate fam ily-shining red combed White Leg horns.
 The house is furnished with every com fort and shows artistic fitness from the table china to the Turkish rugs. There are no money troubles 70 disturb the hus- band and wife, and nobody has to strain the soul out of him and toll slavelike to maintain this comfort and prettiness. Moreover, the family's health is above the average. And they have no poor rel atives. How happy that husband and wife ought to be!
 Yes. but they are not. do not know why. I have been wondering why ever since was there. They are both agreeable. well bred, exceptionally in- telligent persons. The man is student of sciences. Get him by himself and he will talk by the hour most enter ] tainingly of places he has visited, of the maryels of nature he has delved | into He is suave and chivalrous to the point of gallantry to every woman ex- cept his own wife
 The lady is warm hearted, sweet tenn pered, sincere and hospitable, a perfect hostess and housekeeper, willingly put ting herself out to any extent for the l comfort of other people-all except her own husband.
 Each would consider it the unpardon- | able sin to contradict, interrupt in con- | versation or to be rude to other persons all except just each other. In each oth- | CTS presence a veritable evil spirit seeml to enter in and thrust out of the sou of each all forbearance, all good temper | even common good manners.

False Eyelashes.

You may now get false eyelashes as well as false hair. Specialists who pro vide all manner of artificialities for so- ciety women have added them to their stock. A delicate set of lashes Is at- taohed to scarcely visible strip of fish skin. A small bottle containing ''skin fluid" completes the outfit. The eye lashes are for society wear'' and for theatrical wear The lashes last ten days usually. but twenty with care. Eyebrows lasting from three, to six months are another speciality.
