It is an easy but inexcusible
thing to run down the place in
which one lives. No talent is
required to do it. All that is
necessary is to persistently talk
about its shortcomings, which
usually are few, and ignore its
advantages, which usually are
many. These "kickers," which
arc.- found; in almost every place,
would do well to cultivate local
patriotism, a quality that is too
often neglected.
The tide of immigration seems
to have turned as the result of
revival in trade in this country.
Ships coming' from Germa i
bring more steerage prssenge
than thev did a s'mrt time a*r .
Italian immigration is also like 1
to receive some impetus as t '
outcome of the earthquake it
that country.
Congress seems to have the
art of doing nothing pretty ful y
developed. So far this session
it has done little but mark tim?,
but it is safe to say the member.'
will have no scruples agains
drawing their sa aries.

Once Sir H^nry Irving, white
rdaving "Macbeth" in London,
>vas somewhat disconcerted hy
me of the "gallery gods." Hvi
! ad reached the point where
Macbeth orders Banquo's ghost
to leave th* banquet board.
"Hence, horrible shadow, unreal
mockery, hence!" exclaimed Irv
ing in his most tragic tones, and
with a convulsive shudder sank
to the ground, drawing his robe
•about his face. Just as Banquo
withdrew, an agitated cockney
voice from high up in the gallery
pimd out as if to reassure Irving:
"It's all right now. 'Encry; Vs
gone!"
Where His Treasure Was.
"When they take women away

"I will," cried a voice from

A CATHEDR L IN A BOO.

The authorities of Winchester
Cathedral are appealing for
funds to carry on the great work
of restoration that was started
three years back.
When the cchedral was built
some 8oo years ago a very bad
site was chosen on the borders of
a bog and the builders laid beech
logs in transverse layers over
the bed of soft marl that they
found when they dug down some
ten feet for their foundations.
Gradually Winchester Cathedral
has been subsiding. It was dis
covered three years ago that the
retrochciir had sunk more than
two feet, forcing the walls out
ward so that they threatened to
fall in. Today the west front is
all shored up and every yard of
the outer walls east of the tran
septs lean outward and are
cracked, and though today the
retrochoir, the lady chapel and
the crypt have been made secute
the great columns of the nave
are out of line and lean outward.
Some 25.000 pounds is require
ed to complete the good work
that was begun three years ago.
