Wanted Judge to De ONerruAeu'
Up in Maine there is an old custom
of opening the courts with prayer
which custom in one instance, describ-
ed with considerable gusto by eX-Judge
Henry f. Rowland, led to a petition
with which the judge couldn't exactly
svmpathze. The minister who was to
ofTiciate at this court was one of the
good old fashioned, simple living, long
praying kind who flourish in country
churches. He prayed for the welfare
of the nation and its executive ana MS
cabinet: he prayed for the state officials
and for mankind in general. Then, 10
Lord. give to this presiding judge the
wisdom he so much needs" besought
the dominic with fervor. "Overrule his
decisions to thine eternal honor and
glory" The presiding judge, appre-
eating the spirit of the petition. while
hardly relishing his diction. had to live
down the reputation which his asSo-
ciates tried to confer on him in accord
ance with the characterization of the
prayer.-New York Tribune.

There can be little doubt that the
Church of Our Saviour in Moscow is
supreme in its magnificence. 1t was
erected to commemorate the deliver
ance of Moscow from the French and
cost about $5,000,000 by the time it
was finished. The building is of white
stone, crowned by gilded dome and
cupolas, on which there is nearly a
thousand pounds weight of gold. The
interior decorations, which are a won
derful combination of precious stones,
marbles, gold and silver, are of I'M
paralleled splendor. On the walls diff
ferent colored~ and rare marbles rise
from a dado of Jasper tier on tier,
the whole surmounted by a magniti-
cent frieze of frescoes and carvings.
The building will hold 10000 worship
ers and covers two acres of land

As to the rather subtle question
of gentleman" lady" man" and
woman" there is difference writes
a correspondent between the sexes.
A duke must always he a man, unless
he be, for the purpose of the converSa-
ton. "gentleman," with great EN-.
phass Of voice. Without emphasis
every man of Gentleman's rank is a
man" always and n every social cir
cumstance. But with women it is en-.
tirely matter of the adjective. With.
out an adjective Il woman is a lady"
Who ever asked. on hearing that a
friend was to marry, "W'hO is the
woman?" Nor do we say that we met
a woman at dinner who told us So
and-so. But introduce the adjective
and the lady is at once a pretty
woman, well dressed woman. rather
a duh woman-London Chronicle.

made entirely of white marble. 1t is
called the leaning tower from the fact
that it inclines some thirty feet from
the perpendicular, and it is not general
ly known that this inclination, which
gives the tower such Il remarkable ap-
pearance was not intentional At the
time it was about half done the error
in measurement was perceived. 1t was
guarded against by the use of extra
braces in the further construction Of
the building and an adaptation of the
stone in the highest portion. There
are seven bells on the top of the tower,
the largest of which weighs 1000
pounds, and these are so placed as To
counteract as far as possible the lean
ing of the tower itself.

statement: "A great many people send

Venus.

Venus is both morning and evening
star because she always accompanies
the sun, never receding from him be-
yond certain limits, while the rest of
the planets, with the exception Of Mer-
curry, are seen at all possible angular
distances from the sun. When Venus
is to the west of the sun she rises be-
fore him and is a morning star, but
when she is to the east of the sun she
rises after him and is an evening star.
