Pulpit in RAILWAY Station.

Travellers who enter Shrewsbury
by the Abbey Foregate Station can
scarcely fail to observe one of the
most remarkable features in the
world. This is pulpit. 1t stands
prominently above the coal wagons
and miscellaneous goods trucks Of
the station yard, an ancient stone
structure, to which access is gained
by an equally ancient flight of stone
steps. This pulpit is the only re-
naming fragment of the domestic
building of the once great and power
full Abbey of Shrewsbury. In the
olden days 1t stood in the monks re-.
fectory. and was used for preaching
from and for reading the lessons
while the monks ate their frugal
meals. --Tft-Bits.

Granny Caps Worn by Girls.

Tiny "great-grandmother" caps
have been adopted by the "river girl"
in England. A beauty specialist who
has been threatening the modern
woman with badness is responsible
for this fashion. "There is no doubt, {"
she says, that the river is responsible
for scanty and dull colored hair. The

Love.

There has been good deal written
about dorman mother-love. but the
fact that there is a sentiment as IA
ther-love seems to have kept well in
the background. Masculine America
flies from sentiment or from the
avowal of sentiment as from a plague
or the confession of a crime.
Yet 1t would be poor country that
confined its sentiment to its women.
The natural emotions are the inher-
itance of both sexes, even If it is but
one which has the courage to confess
them.
