dross the peoplo when a gentleman,
palo with fear, made his way to tho
platform and hoarsely whispered:
"Liberator, the floor Is Riving way!
The beams that shore It up are crack

a few minutes!" "Keep silent!" said
O'Connell;; then, raising bis voice, ho
addressed tho assembly: "I find that
thn room Is too small to contain, the
number who desire to come In, so we
must leave It and hold the meeting
outside the building." At this a few

said: "I will tell you the truth; you are
Irishmen, therefore brave men. Tho

this room at onee. If there Is a panic
and a riHh to the door, we shall all be
precipitated Into the roof below, but If
you obey my orders we shall be saved.
Let the twelve men nearest tho door
go quietly out, then the next twolve,
and so on until all have gone. I shall
be the last to leave." His Instructions
were obeyed to the letter, and he wait

Everybody has heard of the extraor
dinary ravages of the European rab
bits that wero introduced Into Auj
tralla years ago. The unlmuls were
imported no that the British subjects
who bad removed to tho antipodes
might enjoy the sport of rablt hunt
ing. They had more sport than they
bargnlncd for and tho whole country
regrets the days tho little anlmnl was
introduced to Australian scenes. There
are many millions of them now and
tho little nlbblers eat the grass, de
stroy fields, orchards and gardens and
are tho great nulsanco of tho country.
Tho rewards offered by the various
colonies for some sure way of destroy
ing tho pest would make tho fortune
of the man who should discover tho
process. Today, however, the Aus
tralians appear to be a little more re
signed under the infliction. Tho Idci
occurred to them, a while ao, that
they might utilize tho anlmnl on i
largo scale as a commercial commod
ity. So they set to work to kill rab
bits by tho thousands, can the meat

Again, standing In this garden ot the

that floral and arborescent decorations nro
Appropriate for the plane of the dead. We
are glad that among flowers and sculptural
adornments Christ spent the short time of
hi inhumation.
I cannot understand what I Sometimes
see In the newspapers where tho obsequies'
are announced and tho friends say In con
nection with It, "Hnno no flowers." Hut tier.
If tho means allow I say It thn means
allow strew tho onskut with .lowers, the
licru'so with flowers, the grave with flowers.
Put thorn on the brow It will suggest
coronation; In their hand it will mean
victory.
Christ wns burled In ft garden, f lowers
mean resurrection. Death Is sad enough
nnyhow. Let conservatory and arboretum
contribute to its alleviation. Tho harebell
will ring the victory; the passion flower
will express tho sympathy; the daffodil
will kindle Its lamp and Illume the dark
ness, The cluster of asters will lie the
constellation. Your little, child loved
flowers when she was living. Put therein
her liaiiil now that she can go forth no
more nnd pluck them for herself. On sun
shiny days tnk'o a fresh garland and put It
ovor 1 no still imart.
Ilr lokl vn has no grander gl-irvthan its

you think the relies nro of no Impor

tance they nro lu the day when thn arch

your cemeteries into gardeus.
Again, staniltng In this gar-ion 01 tho
now sopulehcr. 1 am impressed with the
dignity of private and lioprotei'dlng obse
quies. Josepn wns mourner, sexton, liveryman
hud entire charge of everything. Only

Universe! Oh, let this bo consolatory to
thoso who through lack of means or
through lack of acquaintance have but
little itemnnslriillon of grief ut too graves
of their loved ones. Long line of glitter
ing equipage, two rows of sliver handles,
onslcet of richest wood, pallbearers gloved
nnd scarfed, nro not necessary. If there
be six at the grave, Christ looks down from
heaven ami remembers that Is two more
than were at His obsequies.
Not recognizing this lilen. how many
small properties ure scattered und widow
hood und orphanage go forth Into nold
charity! Tho departed left a small prop
erty, which would hnvo been enough to
keep the family together until they could
take euro of themselves, but the funeral
expenses absorbed everything. That went

four people In the proce-sion.
Again, siamiing In tins gunlen with n

there are four gardens, opening Into enuh

Before starting on a "run" a refreshing wash with
Ivory Soap gives new energy. It lathers quickly in any
kind of water and does not cost more than common
soap. The luxury of being clean is not realized without
using Ivory Soap. You need not fear alkali, or other
injurious ingredients found in many soaps. Ivory Soap is
nothing but pure materials, combined to make a soap that
will clean and rinse quickly, thoroughly, satisfactorily.
