Westminster Abbey

Over thirteen hundred years ago
the Catholics owned Westminster
Abbey, but it was taken from them
by the English Professionals about the
year 1910.
This Abbey is situated in the heart
of London, England, and is one of the
most historic buildings in the world
The interior is laid with marble
floors, and all the different monu-
ments of carved marble are decoraed
with gold and precious ornaments.
Either kneeling, standing or lying on
the monuments or burial places is a
representations of the one who slum-
bers beneath, and who will never
wake in this world, and who is 0et us
trust happy in that great world
which is beyond our thoughts.
In one corner of this immense, vast
building is q place set apart for the
final resting place for great men, and
is called Poets Corner" Among
those who slumber there are Tenny-
son, Dryden, Gray, which are but
few of the many great men who have
given us, through their writings and
poetry, the most beautiful thoughts
of their own great minds.
One viewing the scenes of the
Poets Corner would be inhuman If
not moved to sadness from the
solemness of the place, and one
treads softly, fearful of waking their
slumbers. No, we cannot wake them
now: 1t is too late; they have their
reward. The poets, explorers and
men of great genius all lie but few
feet apart from one another in peace
full sleep. The murdered kings and
queens and their victims. the CON
queror and the conquered, lie here re-
gardless of the past.
Let us carry in our hearts, after
viewing this renowned spot, the les
son that the poet Gray has so beau
tifully expressed in the following
lines:
1.-THE boast of heraldry, the pomp of
power
And all that beauty. all that wealth
ii gave,
Await alike the inevitable hour.
The paths of glory lead but to the
grave"

Toothpicks Are Not Used in
England as Much as in u. S.

Toothpicks are not SO generally
used In England as in the United
States, being in no real sense con-
sidered household necessity. At the
hotels and restaurants, especially
those frequented by Americans, they
are often supplied. though in large
percentage of eating houses they are
given only upon request, and there
are thousands of restaurants and
other eating places where they are
not obtainable even on request.
Silver and gold toothpicks, suitable
for carrying in the pocket, are sold
to some extent among the well-to-do
lasses.--Consular Report.

With the beginning of the autumn
quarter the Sun enters the sign Libra
with Saturn rising in Cancer. This
is said by the astrologers to be omin-
was in the ascendant at the time of
the New Moon.
Discomfort among the people, sick
ness, poverty and distress are indi-
Gated, and increased mortality due to
contagious diseases is likely.
Women are subject to a rule. which
is read as foreshadowing many tears
grave financial anxieties.
Notwithstanding all the sinister
omens, however. the outlook for the
United States is exceedingly encour-
aging Although the autumn quarter
will develop many serious public prob
lens in which large expenses are in
volved, the winter will bring improved
conditions.
The next few months will bring
about the sharpest contrasts in the
condition of business men and women,
the seers declare. Immense fortunes
will be made and lost, the poor be-
coming rich and the rich poor.
Socialism is under a sway believed
to be conductive to its astonishing
growth.
For today the planets are exercis-
ing contending influences. While
Venus and Mercury are in benefic as
pecs Saturn and the Sun are strongly
adverse.
The aspect is encouraging to ro-
nance and sentiment. Weddings are
subject to the best sway of the stars.
All social entertainments should be
successful while this sign prevails.
Writers, actors, musicians and ar
lists should benefit when Mercury is
in beneflc aspect.
