An army of workmen has been em ployed lor many months putting the misting touches to the choir and the tap* s At one time It was hoped it woeid he possible to have the opening i service on St John * day. last Decem ber This wss found impracticable, and so the next great festival of the tur n. Easter, was chosen The cor ner-s-oae of the building was laid on St John's day in 1S9Z. The great building Is now here near ■omi letiom The choir and two of the seven chapels are finished But even •t it stands now. the cathedral is < liable at sealing abou* 3.0.. ..... One-fifth of this sum has been spent already to bring the cathe dral to its present state. When it is completed it will be the largest ec clesiastical building in America and :he fourth largest cathedra! In the - 'iQ 7(;f Diciest ol ail cathedrals n S'. Peter’s in Home, which is near 1 !y twice as large as the one next in size 'hat of Seville, in Spain. This is only a little greater in size than the Cathedral °t Milan The Cathedral of St John the Divine will be about four fifths the size of the one in Se ville A aew cathedral is being built n Liverpool which will be almost as Urge as the one here. Only one of the four arms of the cross which the cathedral will form, is complete. The nave and both the transepts are yet to be done Four Banking towers will oc cupy the angles formed by the tran septs. the nave and the choir. Ei-Covtmor Morton's Gift. The choir is the gift of former Gov. Levi P Morton. The choir stalls are cf carved oak. They are very elab- I j orate and are surmounted with charm ing statues of monks praying, sing ing- blowing on musical instruments and going to battle The bishop’s chair is of oak also and is no less aonderfullr carved The reredos has i many very fine statues. The figure of Christ has on its right St. John. St James and St. Peter, on the left Isaiah. Ezekiel and Elijah. A fine statue of Moses, much like that by Michael Angelo. Is at the extreme left, corresponding to St. John the Baptist i on the other aide. Each figure is beau- , Uully done, but for that matter they i all are everywhere, inside and outside the building, high up and low down, conspicuous or bidden. In front of the reredos there is a t.ied tablet which came from the orlg ffcal Church of St. John the Divine in Ephesus. Its inscription states that the original church was built by the Emperor Justinian. Behind the rere das altar will be hung the Barberinl tapestries, five in number, that have been loaned to the Metropolitan Me- i ecusj at Art for a number of years past. They are already in place. They were made in 1611 and are unique. They are ao large that they will be hung 66 feet from the floor and yet seem entirely in proportion with their surroundings. The choir floor is of mosaic and gives a gorgeous touch of color as one looks toward the shining altar. The ceiling of the great dome also is to be of mosaic. In many of the European cathedrals the roofing is of wood which is very beautiful, but is hardly enduring. There are few great Eu ropean churches that have not had to be restored because of fire. When the roof of Canterbury cathedral was burning the priests and choir filed in as usual and sang evensong, so that the chain of daily service leading back so many centuries should not be broken There will be no such dan ger in St. John's. Nothing but gran ite. uuburnable limestone and marble enters into its composition. There is no steel or concrete or anything whose absolute durability is not beyond question. There is hardly a tower In England that has not had to be re stored because of defective founda tions. But New York's cathedral ac tually ran claim the paltn over even those that have 6tood for centuries. No less than $365,000 was spent on making the foundations as absolutely secure as anything on earth can brf Chapels of the Tongues. Around the choir, between it and the walls, runs the ambulatory. This gives access to the seven chapels that are to stand at the east of the cathe dral They are called the Chapels of the Tongues, and each will be repre sentative of some one of the nations or of groups of nations that go to make up America. Services will be held In foreign languages in these beautiful chapels, and strangers will feel as much at home as they do when they enter St. Peter's and see the signs hanging on the confession sis. to tell what language the priest within speaks to the faithful; for the cathedral is to be the property of all people. i i naicompifieu are the Chapel of the Holy Saviour, .to be used especially by Christians of the Oriental rite, and that of St. Colomba. the apostle of the Celtic nation. The former is the gift of August Belmont in memory of his wife. It is of Gothic design, very richly decorated with marbles and semi-precious stones. The statues are the saints of the Eastern church. The large stained glass window is extremely dark in coloring, and when the eastern sun pours in the pfTect is indescribably rich Against this mass of gorgeous colorings stands the exquisite altar of white marble, delicately carved. The whole is as rich and beautiful as the little chapels of Rome, and when time has mellowed the thus and given the depths of tone that nothing else can supply there will be nothing lovelier anywhere. The same thing might be said of the Chapel of St. Colomba, which is dedicated to the saint of the British Isles, and is built in the Norman style. There are round arches and very simple vaulting surfaces, carried on large columns, set free of the walls and ornaments, like those in Durham cathedral. The window is a copy of the Seven Sisters window in the cathe dral at York. The statue^ of this chapel are peculiarly beautiful. The exterior figures represent St. George of England. St Andrew of Scotland. St. Patrick of Ireland and St. David of Wales. The statues within the chapel repre sent the heroes and scholars of the British church from the earliest age to the present. Fixing the Carat. The carat, the unit of weight for dia monds and other gems, has various values in different countries and a legal value in none. The Dutch carat, formerly 205.09 mil ligrams. is now 205.12 milligrams: the Drench. 205.0: the English. 205.409; the Arabian. 254.6, and the Bolognese. 18S.S. In all, 21 different values of the carat are recognized. In consequence of this confusion purchasers and even vendors are often deceived and only dishonest dealers are benefited. In 1905 the international bureau of weights and measures proposed the adoption of an international carat of 200 milligrams. This value become le gal in France on January l, 1911.—Sci entific American. Meeting Hie Wife. “Is the train from New York In yet?" asked a man at the Union sta tion ticket office the other morning of Assistant Ticket Agent Schroeder. "Well,” 6aid Mr. Schroeder. “there was a train in from New York five minutes ago; one is just coming in* there'll be another in half an hour. Later there will be a lot more.” "Ain't that just like a woman?” the man outside the window asked. “How's that?” was Mr. Schroeder's inquiry. "Why. my wife wires me from New York: ‘Will be home on morning train,' and she’ll be mad as fury if 1 happen to fail to be waiting at the steps of the one particular car on which she happens to arrive."—Cleve land Leader. w~a~a~*~m~m --- _ .... ■ ■' PROPER TAX ON BACHELORS H T**, C«M •• *• •** c«c*i tmn w««m «•*•©• (i,-i<>-1 CWMrtL “If #'*«ry fcarkVnr «•** *M’ *•-*» smU M*d *• ** 4*p*»^**J Hr.

Janey was one of a flock deserted by her mother, bat in the orphanage school she became a prise pupil and seemed to thirst for knowledge and learning. “In time came a call from a couple who wished a child “who would appre ciate all the educational advantages that money could furnish.' Children with a studious bent are not so easy to find, but Janey appealed to and suited her new parents and she has a fine home. “Again we reported to our bachelor friend. Immediately there came an other check for $100, with this terse note: 'I beg leave to acknowledge receipt of yours of the 8th. Inclosed please find check.

The check which the comely young German handed in at the window of a Walnut street savings fund bank the other day was made payable to Gretcben Schmidt, and she had en dorsed it simply Greichen Smith. The man at the receiving teller's window called her back just as she was turn ing away to rectify the mistake. “You don’t deposit this quite this way." he explained. “See. you have forgotten the H."

WHEN IT REALLY WAS WARM Incident Related by Mr. Binge Rut an End to the Hot Weather Stories. "Hot in Brazil!” said tbe young man who had just returned from a trip to South America, according to the Chicago Daily News. “Well, I should say so. Do you know, for days at a time we couldn't take our after dinner siesta on account of the pe culiar noises." “What noises?” asked the blonde stenographer, innocently. “Why. the coffee popping on the trees. You see. the sun was so hot the grains just roasted before they were picked.” The old traveler yawn ed. “Rather warm down there, bub,” he rejoined, laconically, “but when I was down there you couldn’t sleep at night. Every once in a while there would sound the most extraor dinary crackling noise that ever fell upon the human ear.” “What were the sounds. Mr. Bings?” And Mr. Bings yawned again and replied: “The rubber trees stretching them selves.” Very Vivid.

IlL % \\Bffl FKUXt c^msAsner THE CHILL I MJtlPfCIW TELLS A Jim’ THE GRIP J IfBBHCim TELLS l STM' I B I Colds and Chills Bring Kidney Ills February, March and April are the backache months, because they are months of colds, chills, grip and pneumonia, with their congesting, weakening influence on the kidnevs. Colds, chills, or grip strain the kidneys and start backache, urinary disorders and uric acid troubles. You feel lame, weak and tired and have headache, dizzy feelings, achy muscles and joints; too frequent, painful urinary passages, sediment, etc. Chills hurt the kidneys. Likewise well kidneys often prevent taking cold, by helpingto pass off the waste matters of cold congestion. Doan’s Kidney Pills are very useful in the raw winter and spring months. They stop backache and urinary disorders, keep the kidneys well and prevent colds from settling on the kidneys. Strong testimony proves it. What better evidence could you ask?
