The most famous, and in many the Ey - iy songs commonly known as "Old Hundred," or "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." The lines, known in every corner of the earth, were written by Dr. Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath and Wells, England, under Charles 11. about 1683. Thomas Ken was a hag of great force of character, and of high morality in an age of soetal corruption. He was made one of th ro; cha, . On one becusion, King Charles wished Ken tb receive. into his house for a short time the notorious Nell Gwyn. Ken firmly though respectfully declined the te- quest. EE : "Do you refuse, even though I or- "Yes," gaid Ken firmly. "I must refuse even though you order me." King Charles, with all his faults, was able to appreciate the character of a man so sturdy and unflinching us Ken. Later when the bishopric of Bath and Wells Hecate vacant, King Charles remarked: "Where is the little wan who wouldn't givé peor Nell a lodging? Let him have the bishopric." The iaté Theodore Parker once said that "Old Hundred," with its four short lines, has done more to s the doctrine of the Triaity among English-speaking peoples than ali the theological works that have ever bi written.

Col. Nicholds Smith has giv- en a brief account of what happened on Aug. 14, 1900, at Pekin, during the Boxer siege: "The civilized world was held in awful suspense during the 56 days when the various legations and the niissionaries withstood the myriads of Chinese. When the allied forces en- tered the city, thie heartfelt rejoicing of the men, women and children, who bad faced a living death for nearly two months cannot be described. Rockets blazed in the air, cannon smashed the yellow roofs of the For- bidden City, and soldiers and civi- lians made the welkin ring with cheers; but the most thrilling and soul-inspiring incident connected with the celebration of their deliverance, was the assembling of the mission. aries about the Bell Tower and sing- ing Praige God From Whom All Blessings Flow." Foxhunters Lack Mounts, Practically every pack of fox hounds throughout the Old Country has been placed in a difficulty this season with regard to its mounts, the call upon hunters for military ser- vice" having naturally been greater than for that of any other stamp of horse. The majority of hunts, how- ever, will be able to get over the | trouble by curfailing their number of days per week, and it has, of course, been possible in many cases to get together a number of moder- ate horses which were unsuitable for military work, while since the war began unbroken or partly broken animals have been sufficiently school- ei to make passable bunters in emergency. Cubhunting, of course was greatly interfered with---some packs, in fact, have done little or nothing in this direction while others have only carried out about half their usual program. It has re- mained for the Southdown Hunt, however, to discover what must be a rare method of overcoming the dif- culty of no horses. During the early part of the cubbing season hounds have been actually followed on cycles, and so successful has this novel style of mount proved that in scyenteen outings fifteen brace of foxes have been killed. Ruskin as Rector of Glasgow, Ruskin was once a candidate for the Rectorship of Glasgow Univer- -Bity, now held by M. Poincare, and flew into a rage when asked by a de- putation of the students whether his political sympathies lay with Bea- consfield or with Gladstone. "What in the devil's name," he excldimed, 'have you to do with either Disraeli or Gladstone? You are students at the university and have "no: more business with politics than you have with ratcatching, Had you ever read the words of mine with understand- ing you would have known that I care no more either for Mr. Disraeli or Mr. Gladstone than for two old bagpipes with the drones going by steam; but that I hate all Liberalism as 1 do.

The most noteworthy work of the late Prof. Hall, famous as the explor- er of Rhodesian antiguities, was done among the ancient ruins at Zimbab- we, the history of which is still a matter of controversy.
