W A TRIBUTE TO J. E. FRENCH.
Once more we .tre called upon to
give up one of our most highly esteem
ed citizens; once mere are we re
minded oi the transitory nature of
our existence, whiie we dwell on this
terrestrial sphere, which is composed
of heart throbs of joys, sorrows and
a complexed combination of material
out of which the fabric of life is
woven. Yet we are not a finished
product it seems until there has been
a transformation, not until we return
to our Creator there to undergo un
der his benign influence do we receive
that which satisfies the soul of every
conscious creature.
And like a little child wearv after
the close of a day the soul of our
beloved friend, Mr. J. E. French,
passed to the realms of the great be
yond on the afte:noon of Jan. 14th,
and may we in our sorrow and loss
and our inability to express our ad
miration for a life rvell spent in our
midst contribute in conclusion the
words of the Apostles, “I have fought
a good fight, T have finished my
course, I have kept the faith; Hence
forth there is laid up for me a crown
of righteousness, which the Lord the
righteous Judge shall give at that
day, and not to me only but unto all
of them also that love his appearing.”

MAN MUST WORK
SAYS HENRY FORD.
“Man must work—that is inevit
able,” says Henry Ford. "He may
work grudgingly, ot he may work
gratefully; he may work as a man or
’nc may work as a slave. He cannot
aiways choose his work, but he can
go about it in a cheerful, generous
temper and with an uplooking heart.
There is no work s j rude that he may
exalt it; there is no work so dull that
he may not enliven it. But —he must
work.”

WOULD PROHIBIT DOG-EATING
Custom Common Among the Igorota
Is Declared to Be Undesirable
for Many Reasons.
Those who remember the article in
this magazine a short time ago tell
ing of the cruelties connected with
the killing of dogs for food among the
Igorots, says Our Dumb Animals,
will be glad to know that It has
aroused sufficient interest to cause
the Manila Daily Bulletin to say, ac
cording to a clipping we have just re
ceived ;
“The office of the Department of the
Interior is constantly receiving from
persons in the United States, mostly
women, lerters protesting against dog
eating in the mountain province
among the Igorots, it was declared by
Secretary Kalaw of the department.
All of them, he said, urge that in the
interests of civilization and better
and higher mode of living, a law
should be passed by tlie Philippine
legislature prohibiting the sale and
the use of dogs as food material.
"Aside from the fact that the act
of eating dogs is highly undesirable,
the letters state, it is very inhumane.
The Igorots, they state, like to eat
lean dogs and that the more bony
they are, the more palatable they
taste to iiie Igorots. Consequently,
when a dog is bought in the dog mar
ket at Bartiio or at any other place,
it is left to starve for many days be
fore it is eaten, the communications
declare.
“When asked if the passage of a
law prohibiting the sale and the eat
ing of dogs by the Igorots was in or
der, Secretary Kalaw declared that It
might he done in an indirect manner.”
SWORD WORTHY OF OWNER
Blade Worn by Miles Standish Has
Been Traced to the Time of
the Crusades.
Among tlie relics of the Pilgrims
that may be seen when visitors throng
the old town of Plymouth for the ter
centenary observances few are more
interesting than the sjword of Miles
Standish. It may be seen in Pilgrim
hall.
It is a Damascus blade and presum
ably came into the possession of the
Pilgrim captain from someone whose
ancestors had brought it from the
Crusades.
It bears several curious inscriptions,
which waited until .Tune, 1881, to be
translated. Then Prof. James Kose
dale of Jerusalem went with a band
of Arabs to America’s most important
shrine and found that the carved
characters belonged to different dates
—some in Cuflc and very old.
He was only able to translate one,
of a later period, In Arabic. The
words given here show that its spirit
was quite appropriate to the spirit of
the Pilgrims:
“With peace God ruled his Slaves.
And with the Judgments of His arms
He troubled the Mighty of the
wicked.”
Rock Many Religious Associations.
A report, on the Dome of the Rock
of Jerusalem is shortly to be published
ami will be of great interest to the Ma
hommedan world. It may not lie gen
erally known that this place is the
third in sanctity of all the sanctuaries
of Islam, and indeed for a short period
it actually formed the Kibla toward
which all Moslems prostrated them
selves iu prayer. Among the more im
portant religious associations of this
rock we may mention that it was here
that David and Solomon were called to
repentance, and on account of a vision
David chose this site for his temple.
From this same spot Mohammed as
cended to the Seventh Heaven after
his night journey from Mecca, und last
ly it is to be the scene of the Great
Judgment. The historical associations
are not less striking, and such famous
names as Omar, Abd-Vd-Malek, Sul ad in
and Suleiman are all connected with
the rock. —From the Zanzibar Oazette.
Private Stocking.
A North Shore citizen took Junior
up on his knee and asked him: “Well,
my little son, what would you like
Santa Claus to bring you for Christ
mas?”
“Oh, I want him to bring me a hum
dinger.”
“A humdinger, eh? And may I ask
you to describe one?”
“I don’t know how they look, but
when you and Mr. Jones came up from
the basement the other evening you
said to him: ‘Wasn’t that a humding
er?’ and he said: ‘lt sure was! 1
would like to have one just like that
for Christmas.’ So I thought if it
was something nice for Christmas I
would like to have one, too.” —Publish

Hounds in Funeral Tribute.
Twenty-one pairs of hounds tiled
solemnly past the grave at the funora:
of William Selby-Lowndes, a well
known English country squire of the
old school, who had been master of
the Whaddon hounds for 25 years. The
village churchyard overlooks the fa
mous Whaddon Chase. After the
burial service, the members of tie*
hunt led the famous Whaddon Chase
pack past the flower-lined grave.
Missed Her.
“How is your afternoon bridge club
getting on?”
“Oh. rather poorly. You know, dear,
Mrs. Gaussip lias left us."
“But I thought she was an atrocious
player.”
“She was; but then, she always had
so many delicious stories to tell about
her neighbors."—Boston Transcript.
