OF the pyramids Of Gizeh, unlike the
step pyramid Of Sakkara, which even
when one is near II looks like a small

what they are-artihcial excrescences,
invented and carried out by man, ex-
pressions OF mans greatness. Exqul-

drowsy golden landscape at the setting

MORE CARS ARE
PUT In SERVICE

In answer to the complaint that there
was not a sufficient number of cars on
the Darby line Of the local railway
company within the city limits TO ac-
commodate Sunday church goers, an
extra car was placed in service yester-
day, and although the weather was
ideal for church attendance, the car
was not half filled all day.
General superintendent Hoff has
placed several additional cars on the
Delaware avenue line In response to
requests OF the Board of Trade COM
mittee, but finds that the travel has
not increased in proportion.
Mr.. Hoff now ia considering the
placing of additional cars on the West
Eighth street line, to learn whether
there will be an increase in travel
sufficient to warrant the keeping Of ad-
ditional cars in service.
The Board Of Trade committee is
now comforting with Superintendent
Hoff relative to having more cars
placed in service late in the afternoon
and early in the evenings to accommo-
date business and working people on
their way home after the days task is
over.

SERVICES AT
THE CATHEDRAL
Vicar General Lyons Speaks
Upon the SanCtity Of the
MaTriage Contract

The new marriage laws recently pro-
mulgated by Pope Plus x, and which
were read under instruction from the
pulpits in all the Catholic churches of
the city, came In for further develop
ment yesterday at the late mass at the
Cathedral. The Rev. Father McKenna
was the celebrant; the sermon was
preached by Vicar General Lyons.
After reading the lessons of the Epistle
and the Gospel Of the day, Father
Lyons briefly instructed as to their i'm
port. He then took up the question Of
marriage and treated the subject phil
losophically and theologically, declaring
that marriage Is not a civil contract,
but a religious contract-an organism
OF holiness, made so by Christ The
speaker said that when marriage was
lconsummated through love alone, love
that is pure and holy, not newspaper
land that love we read of in novels, it
declared for the sanctity of the home,
and where the good father who repre-
lsents duty, the wife who ministers and
the children who repyasem. obedience
dwell together, there the units Of fam
lily In all their power reside. Marriage
in the words of st. Paul. is only great
when it is made in Christ and His
Church.
The services at the Cathedral to-
morrow, ST. Patrick's Day, will be at
s and o'clock, with a solemn high
mass at 9 o'clock. The sermon will be
preached by the Rev. Patrick j. Bren-
man. a recently ordained priest, now
stationed at Cambridge, Nd The Len
ten sermon, wednesday night, will be
preached by the Rev James Timmins
of Chester, Pa. on Thursday the feast
OF st. Joseph. the patron Of the uni
versal church. the masses will be al
and 7 o'clock, with solemn higf
mass at O'Clock. The sermon will be
preached by Father Mickle, Of Cape

pIants Thrive on Steam.

A woman famous among her friends
Tor her thrifty house plants ascribes
her success to her practice Of steaming
them.
'fWhenever they begin 10 droop and
look as n they needed 'toning up they
get a treatment" she said recently.
She has a row Of hooks arranged on
the bathroom wall over the tub, and
from these she suspends the pots by
strings to within two feet OF the wa
ter, the plants having previously had
a thorough watering. The door and
windows are closed, with the exception
OF a narrow crack left open at the top
OF one Of the latter, and the tub is
illed with water hot enough to allow
a gentle steam to rise and pervade the
atmosphere.
In this position the plants are left Tor
an hour. and the operation is repeated
until they are restored to health. This
Of course only can be done in a room
with painted walls, as the constant
steauing win loosen paper.
