Numbered Teaspoons.

In the early days of tea drinking, when the brew was rare and costly, numbered spoons were used. It was not etiquette for q guest to ask for a second cup until all the company had finished the first. The numbered spoons therefore insured each getting his own cup back again. AS sign to the hostess that no more tea was want ed the spoon was placed in tue cup
 Even when etiquette was fetish tea pot spouts sometimes got choked up. so the long handle of the spoon with a pierced bowl that succeeded the siI- yer strainer was thrust down the spout to dtsperSe the leaves. 'Etiquette,

crippIed Feet In China.

According to Chinese history. the custom of small feet among the fe- males of China originated several cen turies back. when a large body of women rose against the government and tried to overthrow it. To prevent the recurrence of such an event the use of wooden shoes so small as to disable them from making any effec- tive use of their feet was enforced on all female infants.

The fund for the erection on the
campus of the Catholic University of
America of Il national shrine of the
immaculate conception is reaching the
$4,000 mark. and contributions are
being received daily from every sec
tion of the country.

ing for countless benefits received. and
a perpetual monument TO the immacu-
late queen of heaven, raised by her
countless clients in the United States
and elsewhere
The site of the shrine is where now
stands the old Middleton mansion, the
former home of the Paulist clergy for
the past twenty five years. The front
facade faces the large campus. which
is surrounded by the most important
buildings of the university. There are
also many fine old trees which will add
greatly to the effectiveness of the set
ting. The ground at the rear falls off
rapidly, which gives ample light as
well IS height to the crypt under the
transept and chancel.
The style of architecture is French
Gothic of the late fourteenth century.
This style was selected as being best
suited by it's delicate tracery and lofty
proportions to symbolic our lady of
the immaculate conception.
The central. nave is to be thirty-eight
feet wide. 81 feet long and seventy
three feet high. 1t is divided into sew
en- bays with lofty side aisles sixteen
feet in width. A crossing tower sur
mounted by Il lantern rises at the in
terscction OF tie nave and tranSepts.
The ceiling of the tower is to be 122
feet above the floor of the nave. the
upper part being lighted by groups of
lantern surmounts the square belfry
of this central tower.
The transept is liz feet in width. On
its south side below the great rose
window is a side altar with small
doors on either side, which lead to the
crypt and the southern entrance. The
north transept ends in semi -octag-
onal chapel.
The chancel, with it's octa Sonal end
is planned to be eighty-one feet long
mounted by stone vault sixty-nine
feet above the floor: it has eleven
lofty. clerestory windows, rich with
tracery and stained glass. Below these
are the chancel stalls, where 200
priests can be assembled at great cere-
monies.
The chancel is raised by three steps
above the nave floor, and the sanctuary
is again elevated by three more steps
above the chancel. Thus the high altar
which is at the. very end can be well
seen from the body of the nave.
Around The chancel is a low vaulted
ambulatory, from which open several
small side chapels and sacristies. also

Love of Song.

The love Of song is univ versal. There is
no art SO thoroughly and generally appre-
ciated and practiced as that of music. In
all ages. among all races, song has been
in the heart and on the lips of young and
old.
To quote the words of DR. Cumnin.
The English plowboy sings as he drives
his team; the Scotch highlander makes
the glens and gray moors rcsound with
his beautiful song the Swiss TyroIese
and CarDathians Tighten their labor by
music; the muleteer of Spain cares little
who is Oh the throne or behind il if h.
can only have his early carol: the vim
tager of Sicily has his evening hylnn. even
beside the burning mount the fsherna n
OF Naples has his boat song, to which his
rocking boat beats time on the beautiful
sea. and the gondolier Of Venice still keens
up his midnight serenade"
IN cFerE heather land and among the
heFcest tribes Of savages song has its
place and influence. In all the world is
the voice OF song; but how varied are it's
cadehces and its meaning,
ihere are sad songs. glad songs.

spired to tell in song what God has
done for them. And thus masterpieces
have been written. Some one has said
that whenever God has given us a
true poet He has given US His most
exquisite expression of Himself
The great hymns reveal God in some
appealing thought of His relation to
man in the scheme of human redemp-
ton. Doubtless greater hymns are yet
to be written. A fuller harmony and
sweeter music is coming to the world
The worlds great song is yet to be
sung. This thought is beautifully eN-
pressed by DR.. Cummings: There are
various sounds in nature all plaintive
and sad: the voice of the winds, the
chime of waves and the song of birds
are all in minor keys, as if all creation
eroaned and Travelled in pain, waiting
for deliverance. that grand tleliverance
which is the burden of phophecy, when
the great Composer shall transpose all
her strains from the minor into the
major, and the wild wall of nature

every Roman citizen had a right to do
Though he went as a prisoner, he was
allowed to live in his own hired house,
and proclaimed the gospel to all who
came to him. Finally set free. Paul
preached throughout Rome, and even
made pilgrimage to Spain. and when
Nero. in his insane fury, ut last decreed
death for Paul, all Rome, even includ-
ing Nero's household, was leavened
with earnest Christians won by Paul
for his Master.
Together Greece and Rome captured
for Christ, changed all the history of
the world. While the one dominated
the minds of men. the other dominated
their physical powers. and the COM
bination of those two forces swept over
western Europe and brought whole
peoples from heathenism to the wor-
ship or the true God. This was part of
Paufs vision when he set out from
Troas that morning to answer the call
of the Macedonian.
