An Architectural cnrIn.itr.

There are many churches through out England which are without tower or ,plrc. but there are few churches which can boast of having tower and splrc side by side. One of these is the parish church of Ormskirk in Lanca- shire The tower is built over the porch at the west end. and the spire Is placed as closely as possible to it The origin of this architectural freak has not been ascertalncd. but there is a tra- ditlon to the effect that when Orme, the Saxon pirate from whom the town derives its name. decided to construct a kirk. or church, us an eXplatory of fcrine for his evil deeds his two daugh- tors quarrclcd over the design for the structure. One determined to have a tower. the other was equally resolved to have a stccplc.
 As neither of them would give way the pirate chief acccded to both their wishes. and the curious may sec the tower and splre still keeping watch side by side on the surrounding coun- fry.

The "Huntsman's Cup"

The "huntsman's cup" or pitcher plant. is conceded to be one of the ear Hest. 1T not the earliest, Of the wild flowers of America to become known to Europeans. References occur in re lutlon to it as early at 157O, when a Lisbon physician named Launonus sent it to a contemporary as the leaves of the franklncensc tree. It appears that two sailors brought the curious leaves with some resin from the pine trees growing near, and Launanus sup' posed they belonged together. Much confusion occurred and much wonder ment was expressed as to what curious tree with such leaves could be found in America giving such "sweete odoure when the gum was burned and' strange to say. most attempts to clear up the mystery resulted in greater ob- scurity.

KEEP A CHEERFUL MIND.
Not only When Things Co We'll, but
 When You Meet Disaster.

When You Meet Disaster.
 To be cheerful when the world is going we'll with you is no great virtue. The thing is to be cheerful under dis advantageous circumstances. If one has lost money. If business prospects fail. if enemies appear triumphant, if there is sickness of self or those dear Co one, then tx it indeed a virtue to be cheerful When poverty pinches day after dny. month after month or through the years as they pass and one has ever to deny self of every little bngcd for luxury and the puzzle of how to make a dollar do the work for two has to be solved. then the man who can still be cheerful is a hero. He is a grcatc' hero than the soldier who faces thc Cannon's mouth. Such cheer fulncss Is the kind that we need to cul- tivate.
 To acquire this self command we need to think of many things. We need to guard against giving way to Irritation about little things. If we can maintain self control in small matters, we shall have less difficulty in main aining it when great matters are to be met 1T we meet with lrreparable losses, we must readjust our lives to fit thc new conditions. There is no great evil SO bad but that it might have been worse. Let us congratulate ourselves that the worst Is not yet. There Is truth in the saying that every cloud has silver lining" Though it may for time look SO dark We can see no glmt of the silver, yet we know it is there. Milwaukee Journal.
