GLOUCESTER CATHEDRAL.

This cathedral is situated in the
city Of Gloucester, the capital city of
county Of the same name.
Gloucester Is log miles from London
by road and IA miles by railway.
The foundation of the present
church was founded by Abbot Serlo
in 1889, but the south aisle was des-
troyed by fire and was reconstructed
as now existing by Abbot Thokey in
1918.
The aisle is Is feet in width, no
table feature being height Of the piers
supporting the arches Of the nave.
Walter Frocester, it's historian be-
came Its first mitered abbot in 1881.
Edward the Confessor often resided
at Gloucester and it was favorite re-
sort of the Norman kings.
Henry the Third was crowned in
the abbey.
There are fourteen churches and
several other chapels in Gloucester
and it may have been the old proverb
"as sure as gods in Gloucester" that
provoked Oliver Cromwell to declare
that the city had more. churches
than Goodness"
The population of the city several
years ago was 100000.

was one day walking up the street
saying if 1 had enough to eat would
not want anything more. He had
nothing but wallet. AS he was say
ing this fortune came up the street
and said, "If you will open your wallet
will pour this gold into it. He open
ed his wallet and stream Of gold was
poured into 1t, but the fortune said,
"all that falls into the wallet shall be
pure gold. All that falls upon the
ground shall become dust"
The wallet was full and the fortune
said: There, you have enough" But
the beggar said; "just a little bit
more" One piece was added and the
wallet split, and the money was turn

empty wallet.

Ireland Is an island north of western
Europe and is the smallest of the
British Isles. 1t Is often called the
Emerald Isle" because the climate is
SO moist that the verdure is almost
always green. Formerly Ireland had
its own king and was an Independent
country but it is part of the British
empire now. The national emblem is
the shamrock.
The shamrock is dark green plant
with very dark leaves. Ireland's
leading industry is farming, They
raise the fax a great deal and make
very fine linen and lace. The Irish
are witty and many people go there
to see the ruins Of the beautiful old
abbeys and churches: We. have a
great many Irish in this country.

tion of the collegiate school.
Abraham Pierson was the first min
lister of this school. In 1918 Yale COL
lege was erected. In 1887 the use Of
the title Yale University was author
lied by the general assembly. For the
first 100 years instructions were giveS
chiefly by the rector or president. as
sisted by two or three tutors, chosen
from among the recent graduates and
serving for brief periods A professor
was appointed by divinity in 1855 and
In ITO a professor of mathematics
though the chair was not occupied I'M
til 1894.
mainly Greek, Latin and mathematics
and the first two years Of the course
are given largely to further drill in
these branches.
Nearly $4,000 is disbursed yearly to
graduate and undergraduate students
There are, nine dormftories, built
from 1852 to 1894, and accommodating
about 700 persons. There are also
the center chapel library, an art

THO German Dolls
Become Friends

1t was Christmas time, just the
most. joyous time Of all the year for
dolls. For throughout the summer
these poor china, wax, bisque and kid
beings are tucked away in boxes, on
shelves and in drawers, to be brought
forth Just before Christmas that they
may be put on sale, thus finding homes
for themselves in different towns and
cities Of many, many countries and
states.
In great wholesale toy house, In
the city OF New York, hundreds Of
boxes and crates were being opened
two weeks before Christmas. There
were boxes from France, containing
French dolls and toys boxes from
Italy, containing Italian dolls and
toys; there were boxes from China,
containing Chinese dolls and toys;
and there were many, many boxes
from Germany, mostly filled with dolls
for from Germany comes the greatest
variety Of dolls that one can imagine,
The men who opened the boxes
often stopped to examine some beau
tiful doll or toy of quaint design, and
then a conversation would ensue
about them. AS one round faced, jolly
German drew forth fine German lady
doll, he held her up eXclaiming
'sTaare's a real lady! Look at her!
She looks for all the world like a fine
baroness once saw when was in the
fatherland The baroness name was
Martha, and this doll is her exact
image Ach! l hope some little girl
that loves beautiful things will get
this Baroness Martha for Christmas
gift"
And sure as you're alive" declared
another workman, also holding up q
doll--a pricely looking man doll
here Is her intended, for he looks like
the German kaiser. Just take a squirt
at his nibs, Max-that is, if you can
take your eyes off Baroness Martha
long enough to see another toy
Say, that Is the finest door l ever
saw!" exclaimed the German Max
reaching out his hand for the man doll
In question. ZACH! Just like his mai
esty, the kaiser. See the moustache
Look at the proud figure! And he
wears the uniform of prince of the
blood too Say, Sammy. suppose we
put these two noble dolls together in
The show room. It's pity to sep
arate them. l. believe they were made
ny the same doll maker Look at theil
eyes! Ach, almost human. l guess
they are affianced for sure. Anyway
they should have each others com
partnership"
"AlI sight, Max" agreed the SECOND
worker. "As you say, for these doll:
are Of your country, and you know
their likes and dislikes. l think my
self that Baroness Martha and-Wha
are you going to call the man doll

hesitancy. He Is the kaisers owl

THE SHAMROCK.

Shamrock the national emblem of
Ireland Is a plant with leaf formed
from three leaflets. 1t is thought &c
be the weod-sorrel, a native of Ireland
by some, and by others the name Is
given to the birds foot trefoil. The
yellow trefoil is the plant sold in Dub
lin on st. Patrick's day, and the com
mon white clover has been called the
Irish shamrock. st. Patrick, 1t is
said, made use of the three-parte'l
leaf of the shamrock to illustrate the
doctrine of Trinity, hence its use by
the nation
l have grandmother that was born
in Ireland and came to this country
in 1864. She said she had shamrocks
growing in the garden at home.
My uncle went back to Ireland and
when he came home he brought q
plant Of the shamrock 1t grew for
about two years and then died. Sons
people thought that bringing it across
the ocean killed it.
