OLD new ENGLAND WAYS,
lCurfew Still Rings, and District Schools
Still Flourish.


=. Still Flourish.
Everywhere, even in the midst Of
the most dourishing and progressive
cities and towns. there are examples
or the work and evidences Of the lives
OF the tathers-old houses, rows Of
stately elm trees, old business build
1ngs with their queer gable ends to
the street-while ever and anon there
are still to be encountered men who
anhere to the dress and fashion Of life
current two or three generations ago.
Ihere are everywhere reminders of
the glory that was. There are many
households that are conducted almost
as in the colonial times. Supper is
yet the evening meal throughout rural
New England and in a goodly proper
ton OF the city homes as well, and it
is not only supper in name, but the
same foods are served in the same
manner
What are called primitive customs
survive. The curfew rings from many

district school exists everywhere in
the more remote and smaller sections,
The town academy has not wholly sur
rendered to the modern high school.
A majority Of the farms are still work

though this is cited solely as a pic

The New England style Of architec-
ture gives way to more modern con-
ceptions with stubborn slowness. Most
OF the country churches are redolent
with suggestion of the stored past,
and the echoes from the pulpits often
serve to strengthen the illusion. The
old fashioned gentleman and lady are
present at every church service and at
every village function. We cling to
the memories and the habits of the
past, and by so doing we exasperate
the more progressive among our
younger people.-Boston Chamber of
Commerce Publication.

REMARKABLE SERMONS.
Some Were Cruelty Long, and Others
Were Models of Brevity.

Some Were Cruelty Long, and Others
Were Models Of Brevity.
Sermons are not so lengthy as they
used to be, and one seldom sees in the
comic prints the joke. SO familiar in
other times, wherein the minister was
chided for his 'fourteenthly" remark,
which was supposed to mark a period
in his sermon somewhat toward its
close.
It is said that Thomas Hooker
thought his duty i'll performed if his
sermon did not consume three hours
Once it is related that the famous d.
vine did deliver really short SER
mon-preaching exactly fifteen min
utes. He sat down. but after brief
rest was up and at it again for two
hours more. Every one of Cranmer's
sermons was small volume in itself.
and Bunyan, Calvin. Baxter and Knox
are all said to have been only little
more merciful to their hearers.
In striking contrast to these long
winded discourses may be mentioned
some startlingly brief sermons of late
years. Perhaps the shortest Of all was
that delivered by a clergyman at
Ocean Grove, N. j.. who. after an
nouncing his text, 1mpressiveiy sur
veyed his congregation and then said:
Don't worry; it's wicked" He then
sat down.
1t would be difficult to exceed this
In brevity and effectiveness, but a
north OF England vicar in the last cen
tury closely appropriated it. He gave
out the text, "God so loved the world"
etc., to which he added this observa-
ton:
MY friends. did 1 speak an hour l
couldn't make that message any
palmer. I'll just leave it with you"
Another example of brief but ex-
traordinarily effective sermon was fur
n1shed by an aged and feeble clergy
man in Ohio. He had been requested
to deliver charity address on behalf
Of orphan children, but his strength
was unequal to the task. 1t was there
fore an inspiration indeed that moved
him to stretch forth one feeble arm
in the direction of the little unfortu-
mates sitting near the pulpit and to
exclaim with no little pathos. "Whence
shall we find bread that these may
eatY"
So impressed was the congregation
that the collection was the largest ever
taken in that vicinity-Chicago Rec

John Barry, expert accountant, has
discovered shortage in the Bren
matter at the university considerably
in excess of the S2l, 900 found by the
public examiners men. Mr.. Barry is
making an exhaustive examination OF
the entire university financial system
and has already made reports to
County Attorney Robertson which are
said to be sensational in character.
His report, when completed, will cover
a period of three years or more, and
it promises to expose condition OF

Doc. Cook is back in Chicago and,
despite the fact that those fossilized
professors in Copenhagen declared
that he did not discover the north
pole, he has been gathering in numer-
Gus simoleons by telling the people
that he did. Doc has been delivering
lectures and the people believed what
he said. But why shouldn't they:
No one has yet proven that he did not
reach the north pole nor that Peary
did.

Mayor Siedel and the other social

Milwaukee socialists have plenty OF

In view of the fact that there are
thousands of idle men in the city o.
Mexico, the minister of the interior
proposes to inaugurate a great sys'

employment to all. The work out

stretches of public highway which,

There is nothing that would tend tc

Byron's Three Great Men of Europe

Lord Byron said that Europe saw
three great men in the early part of
the nineteenth century, But no one
now. in the early part of the twentieth
century, could guess at the names Of
more than one Of the three. 1t may be
that Lord Byron was joking, but it is
quite possible that he was serious when
he named the curious trio.

was George Bryan Brummel, Beau
