Pope's story of the Sleep Vision Of
Sir Godfrey Kneller.
Idreamed l was dead, said the paint
er. Before me l saw a door and q
great number of people about it. Az
I drew nearer l could distinguish St.
Peter by his keys with some other of
the apostles. They were admitting the
people as they came next to the door.
As the first after my coming up ap-
preached for admittance st. Peter
asked his name and then his religion.
II am a Roman Catholic" replied the
spirit. "Go in then" says st. Peter, "and
sit down in those seats on the right
hand" The next was Presbyterian.
He was admitted, too, after the usual
questions and ordered to sit down on
the seat opposite the other.
MY turn came next, and as ap-
preached st. Peter very civilly asked
me my name. said it was Kneller.
I had no sooner said so than St. Luke,
who was standing just by, turned to-
ward me and said, with great deal
Of earnestness, "What, the famous Sir
Godfrey Kneller Of England?" "The
very same. SIR" says l, "at your serv-
ice." On this St. Luke embraced me
and made great many compliments
on the art we both of us had followed
in this world. and entered SO far into
the subject that he seemed almost to
have forgotten the business for which
1 came thither At last, however, he
recollected himself and said: Il beg
your pardon, Sir Godfrey. was so
much taken up with the pleasure Of
conversing with you. But, apropos,
pray, sir, what religion may you be
Off" "Why, truly, sir" says I, Il am
Of no religion" "Oh, sir" says he.
"you will he so good then as to 60 in
and take your seat where you please"

Glass Windows.

Glass windows are known to have
existed at Pompeii as early as A. d.
70. In the third century the windows
of royal houses throughout Europe
were glazed. Windows of colored glass
were placed in many French and 1tal-
ian churches in 674, and the use of
glass became general in private houses
during the twelfth century The panes,
however, were only three or four inches
square, and the material was SO infe-
rior that, while room was lighted, it
was often matter of some difficulty to
discern objects on the outside through
the glass. For long time windows in
England were subject Of taxation.

Burns and Fame.

1t is amusing to learn that Burns
when just emerging from obscurity
jocularly anticipated that his birthday
would come to be noted among other
remarkable events. In letter to his
early patron, Gavin Hamilton, in 1885
he says, "For my own affairs am in q
fair way of becoming as eminent as
Thomas a Kempis or John Bunyan,
and you may henceforth expect to see
my birthday inscribed among the Won
derful events in the Poor Robin and
Aberdeen Almanacks along with the
Black Monday and the battle Of Both
we'll Bridge"

Turkish Council Of Ministers Yields to
Demands Of Powers.
Constantinople, Dec. 6.-The council
of ministers has agreed to yield to the
demands of the powers in principle
but the sultan has not yet issued an
trade approving of this action. It
seems that the war minister refused

tory terms. The sultan said he was
awaiting unanimity on the part of the
ministers before sanctioning their ac.
tion.

the minor state of martial law was
gazetted during the day and Poland Is
now completely freed from military

The authorities have prohibited q
proposed meeting of the striking post

by the fact that while before the
strike the Warsaw Office handled %,
900 kilograms daily the Office now
handles only 1,50O.
