"CROSsING THE BAR"

Songs Inspired by Sorrow" George Leon
 Varney, in the National Magazine for
 May.
 Parallel to the thoughts on immortality and the hereafter as Dr. Lowry expressed them, in Lord Alfred Tennyson's noble death song, Crossing the Bar" One of the three greatest death songs ever writ ten, it comes to us as sublime prayer, a humble petition, sacred belief of great man.
 It was while crossing the Solvent with his son Hallam, late one October's after noon, that the words came to the mind of the poet, who had just recovered from a siege of sickness. Reaching his home, he at once sat down and penned the lines Showing the poem to his son, he declared, "It came in moment" Three years after the birth of the lines, Sir Alfred passed away; but the prayer he uttered on that memorable afternoon re- mains a fitting memorial, not only to the English poet-laureate, but to the memory of those who have gone before us and who helped to lay the foundation of our liberal faith and liberal education. In it is blended the unfaltering trust and be- lief of all humanity. The last lone man on this terrestrial sphere will utter no grander words when he sets sails to seas unknown, than those dropped as faiths anchor by the silent man of the yester age:
 "I hope to see my Pilot face to face
 When I have crossed the bar"

Music in Rlrminghnm

with the box office success of the music festival assured we can look for ward to great opera festieal here next season." said a member of the festival executive committee. "The splendid sue cess of the opera festival in Atlanta will will help Birmingham along the same line Birmingham as a musical center Is especially we'll situated. It is the geo. graphical hub of the south.
 "If Atlanta can draw as a center Bir- mingham should be able to draw still better. This city has Mississippi, Tennes- see Florida and Georgia to draw from, whereas Atlanta has practically only South Carolina and Alabama as contribu- tory states. I believe that an opera fes- tival in Birmingham next spring will bring together the largest crowd ever as- sembled on a musical occasion. In the meantime let everybody help boost the musical festival scheduled for May p, g and 24"

Our Confederate Dead"

Under the foregoing title the Phil adelphia Inquirer says: "This country has not only given decent burial to everyone of it's soldiers where possi- ble, has not only prepared cemeteries and headstones, but has gone so far as to do the same for almost all of the Confederates. A commission has been engaged in this business for years. Every possible Confederate grave is marked, and always with the name, when that is ascertainable. But it is apparent that this is not possi- ble in many cases. After every great battle there was a mass of corpses which had to be buried in trenches, so that by this time the number of those whose names are remembered is not large. In the early part of the war the soldiers took no precaution to pre- serve their own identity in case of death. In the last two years they learned to pin their names on their coats so that those who fell after Fredericksburg are better marked than those who died before that bloody battle.'
 The Inquirer takes especial pride in the fact that the Confederate graves are being suitably marked by the federal government. This, it says, is a tribute to valor. We are now doing" it adds, "what we can for the with perfect unanimi- ty" The Inquirer is a republican paper, even a Penrose paper, and what it says is assuredly in this mat ter in touch with the public senti- ment of it's section.
 It is to the credit of the federal government that it has not neglected the dead who fell in defense of the southern cause. They fought for the rights of the states, and all, includ- ing the Inquirer, believe that the ac- tion of the federal government to- ward the Confederate dead will stim- ulate patriotism all over the country to higher standards.

 In the state of Washington all women vote and it may be that this fact leads to more recall elections than would otherwise take place. Ta- coma is content. It is satisfied that no recall election will take place with in its bounds when officials behave themselves, and it does not object to recall elections when they become cor rupt or otherwise misbehave.
 The first recall election in Alabama will create a sensation, and no doubt in time one will appear on the muni- cipal boards. Alabama will have many cities governed by commissions, and the recall goes along as strik ing feature and possible incident. The success or non-success of the Bir- example will make or break this new form of municipal govern ment in this state.

An Anti-Bath ReactiOnary

And now comes Sir Almroth Wright of London, one of England's s greatest physicians and the author of a number of accepted medical works, to say that health is not promoted by frequent scrubbings of the person. Instead of washing away germs with soap and water the frequent bath opens the pores of the skin inviting the passing germ to come in and make himself at home. Sir Almroth goes on to explain that nature pro- vides preventives against disease germs in certain exudations that come from the skin. To wash away these exudations, however, ill-smell- ing they may be is to render the skin porous, ready for the germ floating by. The great doctor goes on to re- mind us that germs are not caught and killed on the outside of the hu- man body. Disease germs that attack people must be caught within the body and fed on doses that will make them wish they had not come.
 Sir Almroth points to the vitality
 an general good health of the tramp.
 He light have cited Poor Lo, who went trough life unbathed. And to the Ne" Jersey farmer, who goes to the shore nee a year to take bath whether he lAeds it or not. There are witnesses enoLrh on every hand. All noses are made aware of the presence of witnesses, but dspite all witnesses and Sir Almroth himelf every house. holder will continue tc demand bath ing facilities, and the gond housewife will see that he and the est of the family are bathed with l,gularity and thoroughness. Cleanline.s will continue to rank next to godliness, no matter what London physician nay say or print.

ALIEN VILLAGE IN AMERICA

From Wilson's colonial Byways''
 Imagine a dingy, struggling, unpaved town, shut in by surrounding hills and by low line of mountains. town which stopped growing early in the century, and whose weather beaten dwellings and other buildings show that it has been many a cay since there has been work for the carpenter and painter to do, and one will have fair idea of the Bunker village of Ephrata, which lies 20 miles by rail from Lancaster, Pa, and impresses one with the singular sense of being a place in which something is always about to hap pen, but nothing ever does happen in it., or ever will. Quieter it could not be, unless it were absolutely dead.
 The stranger let down by chance in Ephrata might easily imagine himself in a peasant village of South Germany, for its founders care from Witsgenstein, and although it is more than 150 years since they built their huts of log and stone and took up the hard, laborous lives of New World pioneers, their descendants are still faithful to the traditions and customs, and in many instances to the vernacular of the Fatherland

wORLD,s BEST sTARCHER

Mrs Ashdown, in British Costumes Dur
 ing Nineteen Centuries"
 Fed, white and blue starch was much in vogue in Elizabeth's time for the stiff fening of ruffs. Indeed, the ruff was made possible only by the invention of starch, which was introduced into Eng land in 1564 by Mime. Dingham van der Plasse. A contemporary writer waxes furious about this useful domestic ar tiele. There is a certain liquid mat ter which they call starch, where the devil" he says, hath learned them to wash and die their ruffs, which, being dry, will stand inhexible about their necls." Queen Elizabeth, whose ruffs were always of larger dimensions than those of her ladies. had trouble in finding a laundress who was capable of correct ly starching her fine cambrics and lawns for her majesty disdained to encircle her royal throat with the holland worn by her subjects. She therefore sent abroad and imported for this special purpose a Dutch woman who was famous as being the best starcher in the world. Her name is not now remembered-how shadowy a thing is fame!

NAPoLEoN's PENMANsHIP
From Tit-Bits.

From Tit-Bits.
 Lord Wolverhampton was very keen on promoting good handwriting. He used to recite one of the best arguments in favor of his ideal. When the reform bill was being discussed in the house of lords in 1867 the clerk of the house one day announced that an amendment had been handed in, but the writing was so illegible that he was quite unable to say what 1t was about or who was the author. The latter, 1t then transpired, was Lord Lyttleton-and his proposal was to disfranchse all persons who could not write,
 This is somewhat similar to a story of the Duke of Wellington, whose hatred of bad writing was hardly inferior to his own caligraphy. He once wrote in perfect fury censurng an officer who had submitted an illegible report-and after the lapse of week a reply was sent saying that all the officers in the garrison had endeavored to peruse the in- dictment, but could not properly dis tinguish the mature of the staff appoint ment," referred to!
 His great rival, Napoleon, had the same defect-and, indeed, it has been said that he owned his crushing defeat at Water loo to the same. He sent to Grouchy a whether it read "Bataille engagee" (bat- tie is on) or "Bataille gagnee' fbattle is won) He chose the latter meaning.

SEA ELEPHANTS, TASTES

From the New York Herald.
 It is a snap to have to provide for sea turtles, but when one has ocean ele- plants on his hands, he does not know which way to turn. There are six of these strange creatures down at the aquarium. They are members of a variety of long, nosed seals, supposed to have been ex- tinct for decades, which were received last month from the Pacific coast, where they had been captured by fisheries ex- position in charge of pr. Charles T. Town send.
 Once in their tank in the aquarium down at the Battery, these wanderers from the deep refused to eat, and their fur over coats soon hung on them like bags.
 Founders they would not look at after a first glance, although the fish looked very tempting indeed. served sunny side up and garnished with eel grass. Trunk fish they refused to touch. From devil fish a shift was made to angel fish. Lob sters were no more welcome. Shad and all the wonders of the Fulton market were spread before the fastidious anil mals, and they swam around with their trunks aloft and paid no heed.
 Now, the rarest fish in this part of the country are the pearl roach, which thrive in the lakes of Central park. They are a European fish which in some unaccount- able way were placed in the lakes of the citys breathing spot. Who stocked them nobody knows. but they have f1ourished there principally because they were not expected to do anything else but die The pearl roach is grayish beneath and has a coat of brilliant red on his back.
 The sea elephants, which hitherto have been eating sparingly of fresh codfsh, cut in strips, cannot have much pearl roach. Other small live fish have been ordered for them as an experiment. however, and it is believed that eventually they may be taught to consume smelts introduced swimming into their tanks. But the AL ramis crysolecuas roseus, as infroquent as April days without showers, are what the freakish and furry denizens of the deep most desire.

years and three-quarters. It was revised by committee who were paid for their sessions in London, and was seen through the press by the Bishop of Winchester CThomas Bilson), and Miles Smith. Whether, as the king proposed it was reviewed by the bishops and the chef learned of the church," or presented to the privy council;" or ratified by the royal authority"-that is, "Authorized"- are points on which little or nothing is known. Nor can much be said on the financial side of the subject. James pro- posed to recommend his translators to patrons of benefices which fell vacant, but for the most part the work was done gratuitously @ The expense, which amounted to about $16500, was paid by the printer and patentee. In 1611-on date unrecorded, as 1t was not new book"- the Authorized Version appeared in stately black letter volume which ex- ceeded even the Bishops Bible in ampli- tude of page.

 T expect to enjoy my stay in summer stock in Birmingham. I have had my touring car shipped to Birmingham, and other members of the company will take many long, cool rides with me this sum- mer on the roads around Birmingham, which I understand are good. I have had several letters from friends in the company, who tell me that they are de- lighted with the manner in which the company has been received, and the large crowds that have been attending the Bijou. That makes me feel good, for if there is anything that inspires an actor to do his best 1t is a cordial welcome and an enthusiastic audience.
 ''This is my first visit to Birmingham, and of course I have been looking over the city with great deal of interest. Birmingham is known as a good the atrical town, where good plays are al ways assured good audiences of educated, thoughtful theatre-goers who are able to appreciate the best class of attractions.
 T know all of the players that Mir. Schiller has brought here for the sum- mer season, and I am confident that it is the best stock company that has ever been gathered in the south. Miss Shelby is an exceptionally clever actress. MT. Seabury Is one of the best character men have ever seen in stock, and of the others-well, theatre-goers have already seen how clever they are, and no need to say any more. I think it is the best balanced company I have ever known to come south for a summer season."

Supremacy in Cotton Raising

MT. Hobbs, the president of the National Association of Cotton Man aufcturers, says that of the 1,500,- 100000 inhabitants of the world only 300, 100000 are completely clothed, while 750,000,000 are partly clothed, and 250,000,000 are practically not clothed at all. If all were well clothed a crop of 42,000,000 bales of cotton would be consumed instead of a crop of about 17,OO0, 1000 bales each year. The clothing problem is con- trolled in part by climate and in part by social progress, and the plain ten- dency is to use more cotton as civili- zation advances.
 In trying to ascertain where the cotton of the future is to come from President Hobbs lays great stress upon improved methods of cultivation in this country. Deep blowing and better cultivation afterwards would double the American crop. "We have drifted," he said, 'too long and the time is now ripe for concerted and determined action if we are to main tain our commanding position" The other cotton countries are endeavor- ing to increase the production of cot ton while we continue, said President Hobbs, "in the old ways of producing and handling" Only one-third of our available area is cultivated, and if scientific knowledge were applied to natural conditions of soil and climate we could raise 5O,O00,000 bales of cot ton and. clothe all mankind So says President Hobbs, and no doubt he tells the truth, but how indeed is crop of 50,000,000 bales to be picked out ,?

A Great Advertisement

Birmingham has many attractive feat ures. but what serves as it's greatest ad- vertisement is the model industrial city of Corey" said Phillip H. Herndon, a New England man who retired from &C., tive business a few years ago, and now travels mostly for pleasure.
 Birmingham, in addition to being a prosperous commercial and industrial cen ter. is a very beautiful city. I do not re call half dozen cities in the United States with such enchanting landscape ef- fleets as one finds here.
 q was first in Birmingham 10 years ago and have visited this city twice since. What appeals to me now as the greatest sign of progress hereabouts is the fine work being done at Corey. l think It safe to say that nothing In the way of town building in this country can come up to it. It's streets are perfect models of roadbed making; it's sewer system seems to be perfect, and the buildings erected in this model town are certainly in ad- vance of anything along the same line in the east. The town of Corey as whole suggests fairyland It looks too good to be true; but it is true. Here we see a city in which wage-earners dwell, and in which home life is as sanitary, comfortable and refined as one comes across in the best residence sections of Boston or New York.
 This town of Corey has been built within 12 months. Industrial conditions are dull in the Birmingham district just now, as they are In other manufacturing centers, but it will be different next fall. Anyone who sees Corey today and looks at it again six. months from now will be wonder-struck. I can readily see that Corey within the next two or three years will have a population of 15,000 to 20,oOO"

MAKING KING JAMES VERSION

From the Kansas City Times.
 the Bible, King James took lively \ interest. He saw in the proposal a chance of busting the Geneva version, which was strongly Puritan in it's com ments As he appears to have discovered the fact-oddly enough since the Geneva was the version used in Scotland-from "a Bible given him by an Englishwoman, , little weight need be given to his state- ment that The could never yet see a Bible well translated in English" In any case here was an opportunity for a new translation of such acceptable excel lence that this whole church might be bound unto it and none other" By the end of June, 1894. about 50 of the best learned in both universities" were ap- pointed translators and after a delay of about three years, probably spent in private preparation, the task was be- gun.
 The translators sat in six companies two at Westminster, two at Oxford, two at Cambrdge-and the sections of the hOIk diiolttu tO tdtit were oupHiittcu to mutual criticism. The Bishops Bible was t, be as little altered as truth to the orig inal would permit, but renderings from Tindale, Coverdale. Matthew. the Great Bible and the Geneva version were to be used when they "agreed better with the text" Proper names and old ecclesiastical words were to be preserved; charter di- vie ot tn ha altarpd. the only marginalia to be verbal interpreta- tions and "references;'' sections to be mutually criticised and the help of any learned men to be asked In cases of spe- cial obscurity. Scholars among the bishops and clergy were invited to vol unteer observations.
 One rule directed the translators to pre- pare each text for himself, and from these drafts g union translation was to Apocrypha, according to Selden, in his Table Talk" the procedure was some- what dfferent-one man read the proposed English text, the others checked him from versions in foreign tongues. Otherwise, for details of method and range Of col lation we are left to the statements in "The Translators to the Reader" as- cribed to Miles Smith, afterward bishop to Gloucester Though the work was called a translation, it was not a translation fin the ordinary sense of the word. "We never thought from the be- ginning that we should need to make a new translation" the future bishop wrote; 'nor yet to make of bad one a good one; *s but to make good one better, or out of many good ones one principal good one."
 The scope of comparison and scholar ship was at once unrestricted and ad- mrable: "Neither did we think much to consult the translators and commentators, Chaldee, Hebrew, Syrian, Greek or Latin; mo- nor the Spanish, French, Italian or Dutch" It was an elaborate revision of the Bishops Bible, collated with the Hebrew and Greek originals, corrected by the most advanced linguistic knowl- edge. checked from Tremellius and Beza, and earlier Latin versions, and perfect ed in felicity of diction from the fine flower of the English versions of SC years.
