MESSAGE TO DELIVER
WAS LACKING

II am not resigning to raise
chickens, but will raise chickens
because l am resigning," Rev. w.
d. Buchanan told his parishion-
ers of the First Universalist
church Sunday morning in his
farewell sermon.
He declared he was quitting
the pulpit because he believed he
lacked a message to deliver.
"All my life / have been a cha
grin to my friends. They have ex-
pected great things of me, and /
have failed to accomplish them"
He declared he was simply re-
signing for the good of the
church.

Sense In the Sickroom.

best medicine. Unfortunately. the sick

Plants Which Live In Ice.

Plants do not freeze to death in the
early winter. but perish from thirst.
The process is simple. The cold causes
the withdrawal of the water from the
cells of the plants. forming Ice cryS-
tails outside the cells. The frost. cool
ing and contracting the surface, acts
as a sort Of pump. and as soon as the
cell is emptied Of its life giving fluid
the plant dies. The truth of this theo-
ry has been proved by numerous care
full experiments. Great variation was
found in the amount Of cold necessary
to cause the death Of vegetation. Some
plants dry out quickly and are killed
before the freezing point IS reached.
Many plants will survive zero weather,
and some die only At 20 degrees below.
Certain vegetable growths never freeze.
There are forms Of bacteria that even
when Immersed in liquid air. the most
intense cold available, come out OF

london,s Crystal Palace.

Crystal palace was originally built
in Hyde park for the great exhibition
Of 1851, being afterward removed to
it's present site and re-erected. At
the first state opening Of the palace by
Queen Victoria it was urged that the
usual artillery salute should not be
fred. the reason given being that the
conclusion would shiyer the glass roof
and the company assembled below, in
cludinS her majesty, would be cut into
mincemeat. Dire were the predictions
Of the scaremongers when the design
for the palace was made public The
first gale, they said. would inevitably
wreck it. while the beat eagendered By
the sun pouring its rays upon the
domed glass roof would be so terrific
that no human beings could withstand
It. Consequently if they escaped an
avalanche of glass they would be
roasted to death inside the case.

A RoyaI Superstition.

Canterbury cathedral. England. like
most Catholic cathedrals. is decorated
with innunerable inches for statues.
At Canterbury q series Of these inches
is occupied with statues Of kings and
queens Of England. and there are only
four inches left unoccupied. An old
tradition has it that when all the
inches are filed the throne Of England
will come to an end. Queen Victoria
was approached with view to a
statue of herself being placed in one
of the four remaining inches, but her
late majesty was aware Of the old ira
dition and refused. One wonders
whether in the future there will be
four monarchs Of England sufficiently
Indifferent to superstition TO defy the
tradition and allow their efhgies to
ill the unoccupied spaces.
