Teaching the World How to Die.
Popo Leo XIII., in his sovonty years'
corvico to his church, has boon an
oxamplo to priest and layman. By
doed and procopt ho has taught the
world how to live. Now ho is teach
ing tho world how to dio.
At 93, with tho work of life well
done, ho faces death with more than
tho cold serenity of philosophers. He
faces it with the simple trust of tho
Christian. It is as if tho poet had
fcroseen his death bed when penning
tho lines:
"So live, that when thy summons
comes to join
Tho innumerable caravan, which
moves
To that mysterious realm, where each
shall tako
His chamber in tho silent halls
death,
Thou go not, liko the quarry-slave
night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but,
tained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy
gravo
Liko ono who wraps tho drapery of
his couch
About hira, and lies down tj pleasant
dreams."
Everv incident in the death cham
ber at Rome, every word spoken by
tho popo to his people or about his
people, suggests this imago of the
man ready to dio.
When Grant sauared his shoulders
and bowed his head to meet tho end
on Mount McGregor the world was
tho better for it.

with serene Christian faith, .the world
was the better for it
Ard today again the world is the
bettor for watching at a bedside
where death has been robbed of its
sting, and the grave shall have no vic
tory. Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Spencer and the Three Howes,
Spencer, Mass., will honor, at its
coming 150th anniversary, three men
whose inventions stand among the
greatest of the last century. Elias
Howe's invention of the sewing ma
chine is the direct forerunner of every
fastening machine used today. $The
olaborate Goodyear and McKay sys
tems, the Bonaz machine embroidery
system,- every chain and locustitch
laachine, the standard role-fastening
machines, ate all tributes to Howe's
genius. There aro hundreds of minor
inventions that followed as a direct re
sult of Howe's great work. Then his
two half brothers. Tyler and William
Hcwe, invented the spring bed and
the truss bridge. Elias Howe was born
September y, 1815, and in May, 1845,
patented his machine. In less than. GO
years it has become such a necessity
that the standard sole-fastening ma
chines are made every year, and ono
factory alone employs 6,000 mechanics
ond over 12,000 persons in business
offices and sales agencies. All New
England should bo especially crateful
to Howe, for through him the shoe
trade was raised to its present im
portance. When Spencer celebrates
rext Thursday, it should be given
rousing support, not only in honor of
its 150 years, but also for the sake
or the three great brothers it nm.
