The memorial chapel, which was erected
a few years ago to the memoryof John Wes-
ley, stands upon the same common where
he preached. It is a simple frame structure,
modern in architecture and not unlike an
ordinary church in a Canadian village. On
one wall is a simple tablet upon which is in.
scribed the words, "Sacred to the memory
of John Wesley," followed by the date of
his birth and death. Here the pilgrims
repaired, the villagers following in re.
speetful silence. At the door of the memorial
chapel they were photosfraphed in a group,
theth
patriarchs in front, e young men and
women in the rear. It was noticed and re-
therked the slow process of photographing
in vogue in the village. The Americans,
accustomed to the instantaneous process,
grew nervous during the long exposure of
the plate which was required by the village
photographer. It took several trials before
a satisfactory result was obtained.

. This Company has been o'. -or Twen I y -eight
parishioners assemble within its walls just
as did their ancestors. The °buret' was old
when Samuel Wesley preached there, as it
was built in the twelth century. Its preserv-
ation is remarkable. Although it is wbiten-
ed by the frosta of time, And here and there
itt places the stone walls have gradually
suceumbed to decay, yet the main strueture
stands firm and intact.
The pilgrims mitered the lane that leads
up to the church doer by these= path that
was traveled by the Wesley& The great
elms trees form an over -arching roof like a
solemn forest aisle. They passed into the
ahurch yard that surrounds the old house of
worship. Here are buried Semite' and
Susannah Wesley, The tomb stands near
the entrance to the church, and is a plain
marble box. Among the villagers there is
a strange superstition which has gone out
in regard to this tomb. It was said tl'at the
ghost of Rev. Samuel was seen there at re-
gular intervals. People began to fear to
walk near the spot after nightfall. This
feeling was heightened when It WM asserted
that the footprints of the ghosts had been
left upon the stone slab, and there were
strange marks there. People came great
distances to see them and those who laughed
at the story of the footprints went away
convinced that there were traces of some-
thing on the stone, footprints or whatever
it might be. What penance the ghost was
doiug there no one daredto state. Butaftera
time, when the ghost story had become a
generally accepted fact, the whole matter
was explained as o perfectly natural physical
phenomenon. The marks in the firat place
appeared like the claws of a bird. It was
noticed, however, that they became deeper
in the course of a few years, and then it was
discovered that beneath them was an ir-
regular piece of iron imbedded in the rock,
and then the natural conclusion as that the
stone was softer around the metal and had
quickly disinteerated beneath the action ot
the ram and sun, producing the so-called
footprints. &lint is said that even at the
present day there are many supporters of the
ghost theory at Epworth.
The pilgrims surrounded the tomb and
bared their heads while the crowd of vil-
lagers who had followed them from the
time of their arrival thronged around them.
Dr. S. F. Upham of the Boston Theological
school monnted3apon the tomb and spoke a
few sentences in a most impressive manner.
His words seemed to sink deeply upon the
group around him who had journeyed many
thousands of miles to feel the inspiration
that arose within them at this spot.
" At this spot where I am standing,"
said he, "John Wesley stood. From here
he preached as long as he was permitted un-
til he was driven out. His life and its as-
sociations are before us. I am overcome by
its sacredness. No words can express the
emotion I feel within me as I stand here
upon this tomb. Hallowed is the spot, sa-
cred is this hour !"
And in response from every pilgrim stand-
ing there around the tomb there came a
profound amen. Then all the voices were
Lifted in unision in singing one of Wesley's
hymns. It was " Oh for Ten Thousand
Tongues to Sing My Great Redeemer's
Praise." No voices ever sang the words in
such'an impressive way before. Every nook
of the old chureh yard echoed ix ith the
sound. There were many moist eyes among
the group of spectators.
The Arab object Visa attracted the pil-
grims within the old church was the baptis-
mal fount at whioh John Wesley was bap-
tized. It stands to -day exactly where it
stood when that ceremony was performed
by his father. It is about four feet high
and octagonal in form. It is still used in
the service of the church. Each of the

WILLIAM WItitiiirr,
Pigeons AsNews-eartiers.
Some of the Edinburgh pawn use carrier
pigeons to couvey news when the Mut
chronicled chAneee to have occurred at
place remote from telegraph stations.
When a reporter desires. to use the pig-
eons he leaves word the night before with
the person in elierge of them. This is very
necessary. When they are to fly far or on
any particular business, it better that they
should only be lightly fed in the morning.
The pigeons.. -two or foltr, as may be motor..
3, ed—are caught zu the morning, cud placed
titin a oomfort'able wiaker or till basket—like
ea a small lunation basket -with compart-
is. meats. The reporter when he leaves the
nI officers varrh's the ireAcet with him. 7fie
also presides himself with a, book of fine tis-
sue peper and e sheet of carbonized paper.
He writes his report very legibly and erem-
paetly, so as to put as much on a pease of
paper es it will poasibly hold. Then he
rolls the paper neatly and attathes it to the
kg of the bird he means of an elastic band.
of Or lie may send two pages of copy, one on
ad eaeh leg.
a. A The pigeon being released, makes straight
re for home. In the carrier pigeon the home
tit mstinet is strongly imnlanted ; and if the
b. bird has been takeu oft its nest it has an
t. Additional reason for wishing to gat back as
as soon as possible. It also knows that there
18 a good feed awaiting it at the end of its
jimmyy.
Arrived at the newspaper office it alights
on the ledge of the dovecot. To get through
the usual cireular.headed opening it pushes
before it a couple of light wires, and these
falling after it, an the aperture.
The bird is however not yot into the cot.
It has only got the length of the trap. This
trap, about two feet square has a flooring
set upon an cleaves spring. The weight of
the bird pressing down the spring, releases
an electric (=rent whielt rings a bell in the
editor's room. The bird thus heralds its
own arrival. A boy proceeds up stairs
takes the pigeon from the trap, removes the
message from its legs, and,opening a sliding -
door, allows it to enter the cot, where it is
welcomed by its sorrowing mate.
"That must have been the way they
photographedpeople in the days of Wesley,'
remarked one of the pilgrims after the
ordeal was over.
"I believe that is the same photographer
they had here thee," replied another.
Although none of the descendants of the
Wesleys are now living, ODO gray haired old
man was introduced to the pilgrims who is a
lineal descendant of the man who rescned
John Wesley from the flames when the
Wicked villagers had set fire to the old rec-
tory. He seemed proud of the piivilege
which had fallen upon him and grasped each
one by the hand. Within the chapel each
of the visitors registered his name in the
church records as the 'first party of American
pilgrims to Epworth.
The hospitality of the villagers was with-
out limit. ' They placed their homes at the
disposal of the pilgrims as long as they
would remain there, but the most of the
party. were limited to a single day. They
separated in different directions, each one
followed by fully a score who vied with each
other in making them comfortable. The
quaint old village never wore a more cheer-
ful aspect than it did that evening. The
neat little houses with their red tiled teas
were a mystery which the curious America ns
were iuteut upon solving, (Led when they
were within them their surprising comfort
was a source of no small amount of wonder.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, while the
slow English twilight was gathering, the
pilgrims assembled once more su the memor-
ial chapel, where the final services were
hsld. There was a certain sense of wain,*
in the meeting, that the longpilgrimage
which had been so full of spiritual joy to
them all was about to close. The chapel
was filled to, the doors when Rev. De. Lip-
pincott arose and offered .prayer. There
were frequent and hearty. amens as he went
'
on and at the close all jollied in singing one
of Wesley's hymns. The old Bible and pray-
er book from which Wesley had read during
his stormy years of field preaching were
used in the service that followed. It was
as though the spirit of the great preacher
was conducting the exercises, and all who
were present were visibly affected. There
were several addresses by members of the
pilgrimage. Dr. Upham, Rev, Mr. Bronson
The Kaiser's "Tips" to the Flunkeys.
The Emperor William left S500 for the
servants at Windsor Castle and Bucking-
ham Palace, and a great number of pins,
rings, snuffboxes, and Similar presents for
members of the Household and other persons
who were concerned in the arrangements of
the visit. When the Emperor Nicholas
quitted England in 1844, after staying a
week, of which two days were passed at
Windsor, he left six gold snuff-boxes with
his portrait set in diamonds for the Lords of
the Household; six ,gold snuffsboxes with
his cypher in diamones for the four equerries
and the two grooms -in -waiting; 12000 for
the servants at the Castle; a parure of dia-
monds, worth 1100, for the housekeeper;
an enornious number of valuable rings,
watches, and brooches; 11000 for the
Society for Relief of Distressed Foreigners;
11000 for the German Hospital, 1200 for
the poor of St. Genrge's Parish, and 1,2000
for various charities and public works.
Wateas a Disinfectant,
It is a fact that appears to be not gener-
ally known, perhaps lsecause it may not be
generally credited, that pure, fresh, cold
water is one of the most valuable of disinfec-
tants, inasmuchas itis a powerful absorbent.
Every sick -room should Int-ve a large vessel
of clearewater, frequently' renewed, placed
not far from the bed, or even beneath it.
This not only absorbs much of the hurtful
vapor, but by its evaporation it softens and
tempers the atmosphere, doing awes- with
the dryness which is so trying and de s-
ing to an invalid—or even to well pe as,
for that matter. It has frequently been
shown, by actual experiment, that troubled
sleep and threatened insomnia are corrected
by so simple a thing as the placing of an
open bowl of water near the sufferer's couch.
Of course it hardly need be said, after these
matters have been considered for e moment,
that water which has steed for any length
of time in a close room is not proper for
drinking purposes.

It appears that nearly all ;Napoleon's war
horses were either white orgray. The most
famous were Marengo, the charger that be
rode at Waterloo: Austerlitz, alarie, Ali,
and Joint. Marengo's skeleton is at present
hi the :Military Institute of Whitehall,
London, and one of the shoes, made jute a
snuff box, is in the mess room of the officers
of the guard in St. James's Palace. ['pan
the silver cover of the shoe, the gift of Col.
Angerstein to his comrades, is the followhig
inscription :
Shoe of Marengo, the war horse that be-
longed to Napoleon, and mounted liyhim at

Russian campaign, at aterloo.

afarengo was wounded in the left haunch
when his master rode him at Waterleo on
the sunken road at the outposts.
But it appears that be was ;do wounded
in the preeedingbattles, and here the Kearo
remarks that if the above inscription is cor-
rect in its statements Napoleon met, have
used that horse for fifteen years, from Ma-
rengo to Waterloo, which seems very ilottlit-
hit There is no doubt, however, that Ma-
rengo was the horse that Napolean rode at
Waterloo ami that carried him to Charleroi
after the battle, but how the horse came to
end his days in England lias not yet, been.
fully revealed.
The supposition is that he wee taken
there along with Jaffa by the Frenchman,
who leased some property at Olassenburgin
Kent, and who was Once a great friend of
Napoleon's, but whose name is now forgot-
ten. The greatest possible care was taken
of the old horse, who died in 1829, at the
venerable age of 37 years. In the park on
the Glassenburg property there is a little
column with the following :
Under this stone Res./Saila, the celebrated
war horse of Napoleon. Aged 37 years.
There is some confusion and probably ex-
aggeration in regard to the names of the
horses mounted by Napoleon in his different
battles. "But," says the Figaro, "it is
quite probable that the two horses, Maren-
go and Ali, were ridden by Napoleon on the
same day."
According to Mme. de Remusat, Napoleon
often tired out four or rive horses in a day,
which perhaps explains the contradiction of
the legend which gives 'Marengo the honor
of carrying Napoleon at Austerlitz, in the
memoirs of Oen. Vonclanune, which speak
of a steel gray Arab horse as the one that he
rode at that time, and which was baptized
" Austerlitz " immediately after tbe victory.
It is certain that Napoleon had a horse of
that description, and a portrait of the ani-
mal is at present in the residence of Lord
Ttosebery.
As for Marie, her skeleton is at present
in the old castle of Ivenach, where the heirs
ef the Baron Von Plessen preserve it.
The Emperor and .Flower Woman.
A pretty story of the late Emperor Fred-
erick is told in one of the German papers.
Some years ago, shortly before the death of
the Emperor of Germany, a tall, handsome
gentleman jumped into a third-class carriage
of a local railway a,t Berlin, just as the train
was leaving the station. An old flower -sel-
ler, with a basketful of newly -cut hyacinths,
was the only other occupant of the compart-
ment. He asked the old dame to sell Min
a bunch, and mollified by his suave manner,
she chose the freshest and largest, and hand-
ed it to him. Its price was a penny, but as
the gentleman had no coppers and the old
woman no change, not having sold any of
her goods yet, she was paid with a mark
piece, which, as she said at once, was a
thing that had never been heard of before
in a third-class railway carriage. Present.

deep in conversation ,and it turned out that
the poor women was the only breadwinner
of a family of four. Her son was crippled,
her granddaughter a little school girl, and
her husband had for some months& past been
out of work, since a new railway official
had dismissed him as being too old to
do much work. The stranger then suggested
that she should apply on her husband's be-
half, to the railway authorities. "That is
no good whatever," she replied, as she wip-
ed her tears with heeapron. "If you haven't
the Pope for your cousin nowadays, you
can't get anybody to listen to you." "Then
try the Emperor," the stranger went on.
".Alas !" she sighed, '11 the old gentleman
was . allowed to see the petitions that are
sent, ib might do some good, but he does
not get to know about us poor people,"
" Well, then, let your husbanclwrite t� the
Crown Prince." Yes," she said, "he
might do that," and she would tell him so
as soon as she had sold her . flowers. By
this time the train had g'ot to the terminus,
the old dame bundled. out her basket, and
noticed with astonishment that the Officials
and the crowd on the platform looked at
her Carriage, and saluted and cheered.
" What's up ?" she asked; "Why-, the
