speaker then compared the religious
state to which the young women were
aspiring as a life in imitation Of the
apostles; that they were forsaking
home and all that is dear in this world
for Christ's sake; the renunciation of
their own will SO dear to every hui
man, the promise to serve God in
chastity, humility, poverty, obedience,
all for the honor and glory of God
whom they elect to espouse as their
chief love and master, and for the well
fare Of their neighbors. He told them
that they would get no credit for
their actions on earth, but that they
might expect to be upbraided for their
slightest fault by their superiors and
in their retreats, for the smallest i'm
perfection. ~ r..
"Your reward in. heaven" said he
will be exceedingly great because God
has so promised and God never breaks
a promise, and to those who renounce
father, mother, brother, sister, home,
and all that is dear on earth, will be
rewarded one hundred-fold in heaven"
Relating the story Of the mother of the
Maccabees the speaker told the young
women sisters to "look to heaven and
be courageous, the reward is eternal
and the suffering is short"

Fires That Never Go Out.

HISTORY records many strange exam
Piles Of fires that are kept burning
for long periods of time. The best known
examples are those of pagan people, who
keep up perpetual fires as a religious Gus
tom.
The oldest known fire in the world is
that in a Buddhist temple near Bangkok,
Siam, which has been burning without
interruption for two centuries. A priest
Is always on guard to watch the sacred
flame. Every four years a new flame is
kindled. but this is always lighted in the
great brazier from brand of the old
fire
The life of a grand vizier in Persia was
once saved by Parsee trader, who dis
covered and exposed a plot to kill the
royal official In spite of the fact that
the Persians are Mohammedans and hold
fire-worshipers in contempt, single
flame has been kept burning continuously
for seventy years at Sarhad In honor of
the humble trader.
In inhabited lands within the Arctic
circle fires have been known to burn for
years. This. however, Is not so much a
custom as II is q simple practice based
on reasons of convenience and necessity
because of the scarcity Of wood or kind
ling of any kind to produce ignition. Oil
is the fuel of the people Of the SHOWS.
In Sicily it has long been the custom
vengeance" until ones enemy has been
slain The criminal records of that fiery
island are full Of instances Of fires that
were kept up for years. until death over
stood the unfortunate victim whose life
had been marked for destruction.

9 PEAKER CHAMP CLARK often
- walks from the Capitol to his home
when the days session of Congress is
over. Naturally, he is a person of much
interest to folks on Pennsylvania avenue
and they turn and follow his porty form
with their eyes until he gets out OF
sight.
One afternoon the other week the
Speaker was walking down the Avenue
and. as usual, was a subject of much at
tention. A little knot of people were
gathered in front of one of the down
town hotels. while just little to one
side on the hotel porch an old lady and
gentleman, evidently from the country,
were resting after sightseeing trip about
the city.
AS the Speaker passed the hotel the
men standing there raised their hats and
bowed to him. Mr.. Clark retuSned the
salutation and passed on.
The old farmer sitting on the porch
noticed the exchange of courtesies and
ment to the woman at his side and then
got up and numbered forward

youngster who had failed to make the

in serving his customer. The other

were engaged in war of words that
was interrupted by the appearance of
a policeman.
The base ball rooters were beginning
to gather at The Star office for the

on the scoreboard and few noticed the

was wheeling himself down the Ave

With much effort and several rests
he managed to reach 18th street.

Before the Browning centenary passes

odd. The books that baffied Rusk1n

everybodys reading today" said Mr.
Dixon Scott in Tuesdays Manchester

however, no queerer thing has been said
about Browning in these days than Mr..

Speaking of types Of war aeroplanes.
the authors state that. in addition to
CRUISERS" lit is suggested by many ex-
perts that a fighting aeroplane, carrying
heavier gun or guns-a sort of aerial
dreadnought, in fact-should be con-
structed. The aim of such a machine
would be to attack antagonists at long
range"
With regard to an aeroplane attack on
the Thames valley between Hammersmith
and Gravesend, the authors quote "a mill
tary expert Of high repute" as saying:
This whole five miles of concentrated
essence Of empire lies at the absolute
mercy Of an aerial machine, which could
plant a dozen incendiary missiles in GER
tain predicted spots

ment Of dragons has actually been car

planed down silently, and the bombs fell
all about the campf1res.' Then the en-
gines were started before the dragons
had recovered from their surprise. and
the machines vanished in the darkness
It is very evident that the nation that
is best equipped in the matter of aero
planes will have tremendous initial ad-
vantage-probably a winning advantage
in war.
