The Virtue Of TRAVELLING.

There are two great fallacies based
on ancient and rusty saws it were a
noble deed to demolish. One is that
travelling is a form of wrongdoing,
founded belize on the stupid saying
that rolling stone gathers no moss.
A pertinent reply would be that a
messy stone is never highly polished
and that stone is not a proper place
for moss, anyway. The other undermine
ing caution is that one ought to see
ones own new country before one sees
the wealth Of the old countries. I'm
less on business bent, there is no
earthly reason why one who can af-
ford to travel should not begin at
once with the richest and most beau
tiful countries, with Italy and Greece.
Life is short and uncertain; one can
not tell what may happen to deprive
one of sight and health and means day
after tomorrow, therefore it is well to
see and enjoy the best while one can.

MARY BAKER EDDY.

The sweet, little old woman o1
Chestnut Hill has given up he,
| world astounding fight for the
triumph of mind over matter,
yielding, with the century mark Of
her existence scarcely more than
ten years away, to the leveline
hand of death. f.
With no though as to the right
or wrong of the religious organi.
cation of which Mrs. Eddy was at
the head, this much can be said:
this Boston woman's life was as
beautiful as it was devoted and as
sublime as were her teachings.
Her church, the Church of Christ
(Scientist,) or as it is more commonly
known Christian Scientist, sprane
from the mind of Mrs. Eddy. Her
theory has been so convincing that
men and women of culture and mas
ter minds in all corners of civiliza-
ton have adopted it as the true doct-
rine-modern edifces in hundreds of
cities bearing evidence of this fact.
The Mother church in Boston has a
membership of 100000, while in such
cities as Minneapolis, where hand
some stone chnrch has been erected,
the adherents to the Eddy faith are
numbered by the thousands and the
cult appears to be growing in
strength.
The Christian Scientists publish a
modern, and be 1t said to their
credit, remarkably clean daily news
paper in addition to many other
publications. The growth of the
church has heen phenomenal.
And all these things-the great
churches, the kneeling multitudes
happy in new found religious inspi-
rations, are due to the sweet faced
old lady who, despite the theory of
her teachings, failed to withstand
the chilling breath of the Grim
Reaper-going on to those realms of
beauty of which she taught, leaving
her material form behind, a cold
mass of worn out clay. - J. - n

Deadly PuIoue.

In spite of her long years Of indie

drink problem. The national drink of
the poorer. classes is pulque pro-
nounced s'poolkay'), the fermented off

It tastes like stale buftermilk dashed
with strong dose of stagnant water
and must be drunk within twentyfour
hours of fermentation: It's action is
instant and powerful, and it's speedy
results~are softening of the brain, pa

deadly are it's effects that no employer
of labor will employ a peon from the

The loss of the Roman squadron in
the first ePunic war was ascribed to the

employed as calendar sign, its morn

of grape gathering and its early even

it's attendant storms. In recent times
the group has always represented a

the Euphrates and originally signified
the light Of heaven.

A CARDINALS SALT CUP.

Monumental Work Of Art Designed by
Benvenuto CeIIin.
At the same time that the cardinal
gave me some other commissions to
execute he employed me to make
model of a saltcellar, but desired it
should be in different taste from the
common ones. - I designed an
oval almost two-third of a cubit in size.
and upon this oval as the sea appears
to embrace the earth I made two fig
ures about hand high in sitting pos
ture, with the legs of one within those
OF the other, as some long branches Of
the sea are seen to enter the land And
IN the hand of the male figure, repre-
senting the ocean, I put a ship, design
ed with great care, in which was de-
posted great quantity of salt. I'm
der this / represented four sea horses,
and in the right hand of the ocean 1
put his trident The earth represent
ed by the female figure, the most ele-
CANT and beautiful I could form an
idea of, leaning with one hand against
grand and magnificent temple. This
was to hold the pepper. In the other
hand I put cornucopia adorned with
all the embellishments could think of.
TO complete this idea in. that part
which appeared to be earth represent
ed all the most beautiful animals
which so small a space was capable of
containing. In the remainder Of the
oval placed several grand and noble
ornaments.-From Benvenuto Cellini's

He had seen one riding on the trucks
under the car, and at the next station
he went down and called the hobo out
When the tramp entered the car he
was covered with cinders and dust
and looked like something from the
lower regions.
Hammond shook hands with him
and introduced him, saying:
'This is MI. Rider Haggard."
"Rider Haggardv' exclaimed the
hobo. ''Why, I've read all of your
books and loved every one of themv'

WelIIngton's Plea In Favor of the
Thames Embankment Site.
Wellington once declared that the
most exciting moment of his life was
not in any of his great battles, but
that in which he had to forbid William
Nv. to attend a public banquet in the
city during time Of great national
excitement. OF the millions of people
who every year see the English houses
of parliament how many imagine that
their position was determined by stra-
tegic considerations? No one nowadays
can think of the palace of Westmin-
ster in any other position than that
which it occupies But when the old
houses were burned down and the task
of rebuilding faced there was a propo-
sition to establish them on or near the
site of st. James palace. Wellington
resolutely put down his foot on the
proposal.
The site suggested, it's advocates
pointed out, would be better as regards
centrality and convenience than any
other. But to the argument of the
duke there could then be no, answer.

The idea started at one of Mrs,

when, a number of young men being
present, she announced that the
men would have to wash the dishes.

brought up the suggestion that she
teach the men how to cook, and the
hostess declared her willingness.

Emery, but I am ready to make
