where it made one Of the midair
pauses so common to the insect and

The pause was made, directly in
front Of blue-eyed young woman
with auburn hair, rampant, la POM
padour, who stood behind the counter.
The blue-eyed young woman was
so amazed at the flerce-eyed, culver

Oven Should Be Scrubbed.

Very few of the tidiest housekeep-
ers recognize the necessity of having
the oven washed out. Especially after
lamb, poultry or fish has been baked,
the walls and floor OF the oven should
be scrubbed carefully with stiff
brush and strong soapsuds, to which q
small quantity of washing soda has
been added. Pies, cakes and biscuits
sometimes have an unaccountable
greasy odor due to a lack of this pre-
caution.

Americans who are coming to Eng
land this year and intend visiting Can
terbury will be disappointed to hear
that builders have just begun to sur
round the central tower of the IA
nous cathedral with huge scaffold-
ing by which its beauties will be com
pletely hidden for probably many
months to come. The temporary dis
figurement Is necessitated by the un-
sound condition of this portion of the
structure, which has made its restora-
ton imperative lest the tower should
share the fate of Venices Campanile.
Historically known as the BELL
Harry" tower, this browning achieve
mept of Canterbury's architect is COM
monty regarded as the finest example
of the perpendicular style of church
architecture in England, although the
name of it's designer has not been
handed down to posterity. It's con
struction was begun in 1472, and it
replaced a former tower called the
angel Steeple," name bestowed on
| it because of the gilded cherubim who
| was perched on the pinnacle. 1t is 235
feet high and So feet in diameter, but
| such is the dignity and stateliness of
the design that it conveys the impress
sion of much larger dimensions.
| After Westminster abbey and st.
Paul's, Canterbury cathedral is the
most highly priced of England's
churches, both for it's architectural
beauty and its historic associations.
| II originated, it is said, in a church
| formerly used by the Roman Chris
| tians, and which st. Augustine conse-
Grated under the name of Christ's
church when he became archbishop of
Canterbury in SGT. Enlarged some
$50 years later by Archbishop Odo,
it was totally destroyed by fire In
1867. Archbishop Lanfranc rebuilt 1t.
but the choir was again wholly
burned down in liza. and to rebuild IL
a number Of French and English arti-
ficers were summoned. Among the
former was one William Of Sens, who
turned out TO be man Of real genius,
and to him the work was intrusted.
He died. however, in 1878, before the
work was finished, but worthy sue
cessor was found in another William,
this time an Englishman, and to him
is due the completion of the existing
unique and beautiful choir, the choir

ATHLETIC SPORTS IN INDIA.

SuppIeness and Balancing.


AS is only to be expected, consid-

they possess litheness of form and
quickness of eye that we lack, and
which makes them among the finest
gymnasts and jugglers in the world.
Such perfect balancing powers have
they, that, even supposing them bereft
of the tenacious grasp Of foot pos
sessed by all barefooted races. there
would be still left much to admire in
their skill.

which may cause the most surprise is
football, as it seems essentially a

its somewhat recent introduction into

The Lift Of the Heart.

as
And the great bounds overhead:
When the wind blows cold on our Tore
heads
And the breath of the pines is shed;
when the song of the thrush is ringing
Wonderful. rich, apart
Retwccn the sound and the silence
Comes sudden lift of the heart
When we seek with the clearer vision
THAT grief the revealer brings
For the threads that are shot together
In the close-wrought web of things
And find that pain is woven
Into love and JOY and art
Between the search and the solace
Comes sudden lift of the heart.
And when life's farthing candle
Cutters and flares and sinks:
When the eye no longer wanders
And the brain no longer thinks;
When only the hand plucks idly
At the sheet till the spirit part
Docs there come between living aGc
dying
A sudden lift OF the heart'

seen that the shirrlngs which have
