ToDAY's ANNIVERSARY.

The first great national cemetery, Pere La Chaise, in Paris, was for mally dedicated 115 years ago today. It was named after Father I-aChaise the favorite priest and confessor of Louis XIV, who was at the head of great establishment of Jesuits. The house and grounds were bought by the government for a national ceme- tery. The British National Mausoleunl at Woking, Surrey, consisting of 2,00O acres, was opened in 1855. Fifty seven years ago the United States Congress first provided for nation al cemeteries, the greatest of which is Arlington. near Washington, where many heroes of the army and navy lie buried.

I claimed, in tho name of Christ, that those dear feI- lows were living. I told them I knew my Rupert was alive. As an advocate for Christ, I had my brief and re- fused to surrender the citadel of their doubt and sorrow. It was a solemn hour on the Mount of transhgurinz actual revelation, and when the great congregation sang, as a closing hymn.

 Strange Power.
 The gentleman proved to be a bank manager at Lothbury, and the lady his sister-in-law. Both of them con fessed with joy that they found in Christ a Savior, but the lady discov- cred that she possessed a strange power. Might she use a heavy tumb- Ter glass? I at once consented We walked together into my study. The lady was so absorbed in what she wished to show me that she never looked around the room, but went straight to the table in Its centre. placed glass upside down in the middle of it, with some cardboard let farS of the a ha he -;, of the table and then said:-"I lost dear cousin in the war a short time ago, and he talks to me by means of a glass in this way. I know he does. I ask you, MT. Wynn, to allow me to prove what I say.'' Certainly" I replied I always keep my mind open for fresh fact | and truth"
 Thank you so much. I know my cousin Is here now.- feel his pres- ence."
 Saying which, the lady placed her fingers Jightly-a bare touch and perpendicularly around the glass; | Nothing happened for five minutes.

facts in this connection in q recent
issue Of The Musical Couries.
J., past years. MIR. Gratlan points
out, the music supervisor held posi-
ton OF but minor Importance In the
rchooi system Not only was medi-
ocre general education all that was
re CURED II him. but positions were
often filled by teachers whose musi-
cal sttainments also were very lin

Today all this is changed. The
men and women in charge OF school,
music are nearly everywhere given q
much mSre adequate salary. More
over, their work has ACQUIRED new

an enthusiastic belief in the possibili-
ties Of his work, At the present day,
colleges and universities are Offering
special courses In the training OF
rr ,ap~ctive directors of music in the
schools and the future positions OF
the students depend largely On the
amount and quality OF the work they
do In these courses. Thorough mu-
siciaash Is one of the first require

all the important training courses.
Supervising ensemble singing OF

To sum up in the words OF Mr..
Gartlan the demands upon the mod

maintain his position in the educa-
tiorsi world: he must be sufficiently
trained as a musician to develop all
