Nalson,s Funeral, 100 Years Ago,

It has been settled that his lord
ships corpse shall not be taken down
tie steps in st. Paul's to the vault, as
all others have been; but that it shall
be let down under the dome, where
the brass CRATE is, the opening Of which
not being sufficiently large, a number
Of workmcn are now employed to
make it large enough to let the coffin
down; but it will be some time before
it is complete, as there is an immense
body Of stone to cut through. We do
not learn that any other arrangements
are finally determined upon. MI.
Mylne. the architect Of the Cathedral,
had proposed to Lord Hawkesbury,
and the dean and chapter, a plan for a
monument to be erected to the memory
of the hero, under the centre OF the
dome; but this was much objected to,
on account Of it's disfsuring the APP
pearance Of the church. MI. Mylne
has since laid before them an ancient
plan Of st. Peters, at Rome, to prove
that his plan would not be q d~isfigure-
lnent TO the church. He has likewise
produced an old record, in which it ap-
pears that it was Sir Christopher
Wren's desire to have a monument
erected Under the centre Of the dome
to perpctuate his memory. Should Mr..
Mylne's plan be adopted, q large stone
pillar will rise from the grave a con-
siderable distance above the brass
crate, with n very elegant colossal
figure Of the deceased Oh the top OF it.
The Bishop OF Lincoln, the dean. is
expected in town in n few days, when
q chapter will be held, for the purpose
Of making arrangements FOR the funer-
a.. 1t is reported that q monument
Will likewise be erected in Westminster
Abbey.-London Times, 1905.

Hot Place For OverCOnts.

"1'm beginning to believe the climatlc

Francis last evening. I'm the fifteen
years I have been running across the
Pacific l never saw such cool weather
as we've been getting lately. On cur
last trip I wore a white suit just once.
In Honolulu the weather was decidedly
cool and in Hongkong people were ac-
tually wearing overcoats. Can you I'M
agine anything more ridiculous than an
in Hongkong? So far as all
my past experiences SO, an overcoat III

would be in the neither regions. Ana

Axite, a New Explosive.

those in NJ. D. cordite. with other ma
tcrials added. The advantages Claim

What Tipping Costs Manhattan.

The borough of Manhattan mn
ally consumes about one hundred
tbousand barrels of whisky, which
cos. the consumers $2,500,ooo. To TINS
item must be added thirty thousand
barrels of other spirits, sold for $500,
900; two hundred thousand cases or
champagne, for which s5'5oo,Ooo is
paid; four millions gallons OF other
wires and brandies, costins $2''oO,-
600, and, last but not least important,
five million barrels of beer, selling LOT
SfO0,O OO, 600. This makes a total OF
S135, SOC, OOO-a sum sufficient to ere
ate and maintain forever a great n
rersity like Yale or Harvard. 1t IS a
tact rather interesting to consider that.
if all of this beer and liquor were put
into a tank. and were allowed to run
through an ordinary water tap at inc
rate OF a gallon a minute, the recep--
taclc would require ninety years ana
thirty-six days to empty itself.-Pearo

I'd like to drive home just three
thoughts with reference to the work

An excited visitor in my ONCE sala

hours q day, so that they could moi go

man who works the longest hours VINO
drinks the hardest. Sheer

The second erroneous idea that is
being harbored ny many a man is tnat
the trades Unions are factors when
make for intemperance. Nothing could
be further from the fact. the traces
unions of this country have done more
for the cause of temperance So
briefly than any other purely benevolent
or pbilanthropic organization. A num-
her Of trades unions have laws wnlcn
deny assistance to any man VINO IS
Injured while intoxicated. Twenty
wears ago practically every labor union
met back or over a saloon. ina is
rarely the case to-day. Twenty years
ago I could have counted scores OF
drunken men at n meeting OF the or
canizatiop TO which I belonged as 4
mechanic. During the past two years
I have visited literally hundreds or
n O unions, and I do not remember
having seen q single drunken ma III
the meetings. This does not mean
that workingmen do not get drunk, nor
that they do not need help in the mat
.er Of temperate living. / mean TO say
with emphasis. however, that the aT-
erape labor union is an influence TOT
oood in this direction. The best labor

So will every other similar institution

TO be very beautiful fails because IL
leaves out the element of human Ma

First TO Refuse to Obey.

Mrs. Sarah J. Harper Starr, Of Bel

lily mausoleum at ~Zelienople, Pa, and
q most wonderful life was ended.
Mrs. Starts marriage in Cincinnati
OH May %, 1910, is Of historical I'M
p~ortance in ecclesiastical circles. Miss
Harper was sixteen years old and had
been studying in college with 4 view
to missionary life in foreign lands. Dr..
Starr, Il young physician, was studying
toward the same end and the couple
decided TO wed.
Miss Harper had ideas Of her own
III the question Of the word obey in
the ritual Of the church, and decided
that for her it should be eliminated.
She found q friend in the Rev. Maxwell
GladdiS, assistant pastor Of Morris
Chapel, Cincinnati. who promised to
omit the word during the ceremony,
and she was ma. fied, but friends were
inconsiderate enough TO say the mar
riage was invalid and at the next meet
Ing Of the general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church held in
Cincinnati the clergyman who had
omitted the word was "churched."
Finally the question became Gcner-
al and later when decisive action was
taken the sentence serve and obey
was ordered stricken out of the matri-
monial ritual OF the discipline of the
Methodist Church. THE Methodist
Protestant Church took the same action

The Divine Mirror.

Among Rome's treasures Of art is q
superb fresco by Guido, called "The
Aurora" The painting is directly,
overhead, covering a lofty ceiling, and
as the beholder stands below and gazes
up at those splendid clouds and ma.
jestic figures, his head swims, and the
grand effect is lost in a dizzy whirs
of the strained senses. But Of recent
years a broad mirror has been placed
under the picture, near the floor; and
as one approaches and looks into it,
he sees the magnificent fresco repro
duced at his feet, perfect in proper
ton and perspective, all its beauties
disclosed without effort to the delighted
eye.
This is just what the life of Christ
does for US. 1t mirrors the character
and attributes Of God. /
