Bishop Of Durham Points Out the Joy
less Faces in Hyde Park.

The great annual Church Congress
which has Just completed its work at
rrow-in-Furness, England, closed on
a note Of joy. The Bishop of Ely
made a striking address on the joy
of faith, the Bishop of Burnley dis
coursed on the JOY of sacrifice, and
the Bishop Of Durham On the joy Of
alteration.
The Bishop Of Durham in his adj
dress made a reference to the smart

pit address nowadays is complete. The
best place in which to see luxurious
misery, according to this Bishop, is at
Hyde Park corner.

Tuberculosis and Mummies.

A Frenchman with lively magma
ton thinks that the prevalence of con-
sumption in France and Europe gen.
orally is largely due to the importation
of mummies from Egypt, which start
ed with Napoleon's invasion of that
country early in the last century. This
Frenchman, DR.. Sornac, declares that
mummies and mummy dust contain
the bacilli Of the disease in question.
Such extraordinary vitality is so in
credible that the idea is not to be con-
sidered for an instant without corrOb-
Grafton from other experts. There
are enough other ways to account for
the existence Of tuberculosis without
blaming the mummies.

THE BLACK HENS NEST.

Leon and Ida were spending a
week at Uncle Johns in the country.
They thought it great fun to bring IN
the eggs and hunt for new nests.
Il believe the black hen has made
a nest in the barn floor" said Aunt
Hannah one day. "She never did like
to lay in the benhouse, but Is always
hiding her nest in some queer place.
If you'll find where she lays I'll give
you each five cents"
ooh, goody!" cried Leon. "And may
We go to the store and buy candy?'
Eyes, if you find the nest" replied
Aunt Hannah.
The children ran eagerly to the
barn, for if there was any place in
the world where they enjoyed going
it was to the country store. Mr..
Whipple was SO kind and he. sold al
most everything that people needed to
buy.
"Oh, here is a hole big enough for
hen to go into, behind the hay now"
said Leon.
He put in his hand, but sprang
back with low cry.
There is something soft and warm
and alive in there" he cried.
Just then Tabby, the cat, looked
out from the hole.
She's got some Kittens" said Ida.
"Do take them out, Leon"
Leon brought out four black and
white kittens.
"Oh, you little darlings!" cried Ida.
Lets carry them to the house"
They pat them into the basket and
ran to show them to Aunt Hannah,
who was standing by the table ready
to cook

They carried the kittens back to
their anxious mother, and just as
they went into the barn the black hen
flew down from an old tanning mill,
cackling loudly.
The children climbed up, and there
was nest of sixteen eggs.
We'll done!" said Aunt Hannah.
Here's your money; I'm sure yoI
have earned it.
Maybe We shouldn't have found it
if the old black hen hadn't told us
where her nest was" said Ida.
You found it just the same, if

Aunt Hannah, 80 run along to the
