ment of Nine. Sainton-Dolby, whose
absence from a concert gave Janet
her first great opportunity few
years before.
In 1871 Nine. Patey came to Amer
lea, where she met with great enthus-
iasm, and four years later she went
to Paris to sing in Handlers Mes
siah.'' Later her rendering of the
famous anthem, "Oh. Rest in the
Lord" was greeted with such great
success that medal was struck to
commemorate the event. The thought
of taking respite from professional
duties never occurred to this famous
English contralto. When she was
forty-eight, with her voice in perfect
condition, she made a triumphal tour
of Australia, New Zealand, Japan,
China and other Eastern countries
Four years later. when she was fifty
two, she began her farewell tour of
England. She was greeted with the
most fattering applause, and once
again, as on her first concert, the
excitement proved too much for her
high-strung nervous system. This
time the excitement brought on apo
plexy, from which she died in the
concert room a few minutes after her
rare voice had been heard for the last
time,

How Pastor Built Church


Last winter one of the strong
churches of Los Angeles extended
Rev. w. II. Shelter, of Memphis,
Tenn, a call to become their pastor,
and after considering all sides of the
question he decided to accept the call,
relates the Christian Herald. So he
convened his official board, placed
before them his resignation and asked
to be released. His board being made
up of tactful business men, and
knowing that their pastor had tried
for years to build new church, re-
quested him to hold the resignation
in allegiance for a week, which he did.
Then the board got busy, bought a
new site for a church and paid $4,000
for it and reported to the church the
following Sunday that they would
build a new church on it at once If
their pastor would consent to remain
with them.

Vera Cruz, a Comparison.
From the New York sun.
The occupation Of Vera Cruz, Of
which the seizure of the custom house
was the first step, has cost the navy
not far from the same losses that
General Winfield Scott sustained in
his elaborate land operations to re-
duce the city in February, 1847.
SCOTS army consisted Of 1900 Of
fiers and men Of all branches of the
service, and Vera Cruz was defended
by j force Of 1890, half of them resu-
lars. commanded by General Juan
Morales. The war with Mexico had
been in progress for nearly year.
Pale Alto, Resaca de Ia Palma and
Monterey had been fought in North
crn Mexico, with but slight effect up
on the issue Of the war.
A campaign against the City OF
Mexico by way of Vera Cruz had be
come necessary. Scott was to strike
hard from the moment he landed, and
for that day his complement of 10000
men was a formidable American
army. The landing on the beach was
unoppoaed, ard at once he began tC
invest Vera Cruz, which at that time
was fortified by a series of bastions
and redans. Heavy siege guns were
landed from he American transports
and for four days an almost unremit-
ting fire from the American batteries
was kept up, to which the Mexican
artillery replied vigorously. There
was SHIPPING OF the American camp
| every night, and Mexican force OF
2, 900 men was repulsed in an attempt
10 take the invaders in the rear from
the direction # The Medillin River.
Eighteen days after Scott disem-
| parked his army the Mexicans sur
rendered Vera Cruz. Their losses

New Use for Alarm Clocks

The street lighting system of the
village OF Leetonia, o., is controlled
by an ordinary alarm clock. With
the aid of this clock and a simple
homemade apparatus the lights are
turned on at the proper time and
turned off again at a later hour. A
circular piece of metal soldered on
the alarm winding key acts as re-
volving drum and winds up a heavy
cord. which, acting on a lever trips a
weight The falling of this weight
Jerks a light rope, which throws the
switch for turning on the lights, The
same apparatus can be set to turn off
the lights at the proper time.-Elec-

Unreasonable Man

boarded at a restaurant and given a

go down there and sleep. But 1T was
so awfully lonesome in that deserted

there, and went his way, without
even bidding the sheriff adieu. 1t
seems to us that he passed up rather

Highest Point in the u. 5.
From the u. S. Geological survey.

Il ADh Inc ~ o. pfNiVEttdl survey
Mount Whitney, the highest point in
the United States, is not an isolated
mountain peak, like Mount Shasta or
Mount Rainer, but is the Hottest point
in the great California crest or enor-
nous sawtooth ridge of the Sierra
Nevada, including many eminences
almost as high. Mount Whitney is
1861 feet above sea level Among
those of slightly lesser height are
Mount Russell, less than a mile dis
tant, 14,190 feet; Mount Williamson,
1884 feet; Mount Muir, 14,025 feet
Mount Langley 14O42 feet; Mount
Barnard, 14,O03 feet, and Mount Tyn-
dali, HOPS feet. The most distant of
these is less than six miles away.
BY strange freak of nature the
lowest point of dry land in the United
States is less than eighty miles from
the highest The lowest point is in
Death Valley and is 276 feet below
sea level. 1t is said that from this
point Mount Whitney can be easily
seen on a clear day.

A MEAN LENEL oF posToFFICE ARCHITECTURE?

The proposed Federal Bureau of Public Buildings
may serve to check great deal of extravaganza in the
erection of postoices but is the standardization of
these structures the country TO mean dead level
of architectural sameness? There is good deal to
be said in favor of making the style of federal
building stand for some idea in the history or local
traits of a city. Paterson for instance, which is
largely of Holland blood has slightly postoice
in Dutch style architecture, and is proud of it,
little variety in federal buildings is consistent with
economy and may be made historically educational
