NOBLE HOUSES OF WORSHIP
Those of the Second Generation In
America Well Worthy of Their
High Purpose.

The earliest houses Of worship in
the country were mere sheds, and are
long since vanished from the face of
the earth; but of the second genera
ton of churches, buildings carefully
planned to be worthy dwelling places
Of the Spirit and sancta of devotional
exercise, there are numerous surviv-
ing examples not SCARED by restora-
ton or remOdeling. Mr. Embury finds
the public buildings, especially the
church buildings, of the colonial era
exhibiting a design more homogele-
Gus. more free of sectional differentia-
ton than is the case in the architec-
ture of dwelling houses. And there
was less change in the principles of
design in all the years between 1888
and 1880 than in the next quarter of
q century. If there was in church
architecture, as between the North
and South, any appreciate difference
in respect of Puritan simplicity and
@rtstocratic luxury 1t Is said to have

After voyaging $4,000 miles between
the United States and Brazil, both of
which countries have denied him ad-
mission, Nathan Cohen, appropriately
termed the Wandering Jew" has just
been doomed to another six weeks
trip back to Brazil. He originally
came here from Brazil, but the author
tiles deported him back to Brazil be-
cause it was reported he was mentally
unsound. Our neighbor in the south
ern hemisphere refused to allow him
to land and the steamship company
has been forced to furnish him with
passage back and forth between the
countries. He has travelled $4,000
miles for $45, the price of a single
steerage ticket, and there is little hope
that his ceaseless voyage will soon
end. The Hebrew Sheltering and I'm
migrant society has interested itself
in the case and maintains that the sea
life has made Cohen sound of mind
and it has applied to Washington to
have him examined before a board of
special inquiry.

Church Tithes.

There is no sum voted for the
Church of England in the annual Budg-
ct of Great Britain. The church
derives most Of her income from
tithes. These were gifts made to the
church by her children, who could
not give the whole, but willed a por-
ton of their property or income to
her for ever. The government per-
mitted the collection of these tithes.

A DOUBLE DREAM =
>
BY Frank FiIson
Walter Davis, on his way down to
his office. happened to glance up from
his newspaper. Seated opposite him,
her eyes fixed earnestly on his, was
the girl of his dream.
He stared at her increduously:
then, with a rosy flush, she got up
and left the car hastily. By the time
Walter had gathered presence of
mind to follow her, she was lost in
the crowd.
He continued his way to the office

seven years of age, making three

cidencew
And yet he knew that it was no CO.
incidence. In brief, for the past
month he had seen in a dream the
face of a girl, and in his dream he
knew she was the one girl who was
meant for him. Singularly clear was
that dream face, so that it had haunt
ed his thoughts even during his bust
ness hours. And now he had seen the
girl, in flesh and blood, in a prosaic
street car. What was more to the
point, she had shown unmistakabIe
signs, of recognizing him.
On succeeding days he fell into the
habit of watching the successive
street cars that passed the block
where he had met her, before enter
ing, but, though he whiled away a
number of hours in this pursuit, he
failed in his purpose.
Gradually as the weeks went by the
memory of the girl grew faint. And
at last he had almost forgotten the

and opened his eyes-to see the girl
bending over him.

The revenues of the federal govern
ment for the eight days of Jelly, to

gated $s,16s.S51.07. The average rate

tions from this largest source of

Customs have turned $2.011.52s.0s
into the Treasury in the eight days:
corporation and income tax has aggre-
gated $2.634. 05S.40, and should make a
big showing with today's and tomor-
rows receipts: and miscellaneous
receipts have added up to $797.62S.59.
The disbursements for eight days of
July have totaled $40. 230, 400.38, making
deficit of receipts under disburse-
ments for the period of S,195.049.31.
This has reduced the working balance
of the general fund to $75,070,377.31
