"It's nog 'ood talking ever the.heads

the other day, and as an illustration
of his meaning he went an to tell the
story of Mr. Curran and fir. McManus..
The two friends game to New York
to see the sights,: Among the objects
was -a fine new public building. The,
feature. of ;this building that appealed
most strongly to Mr.. Curran was an
inscription cut into a huge stone.
"MDCCCXLVIII.," he read aloud.
"What does them letters mean, Tim?"
"That inscription," replied the cul-
tured .Mr.'MoManus, "stands for 1848."
"Oh!" replied Mr. Curran. Then,
after a thoughtful pause, he added:

Anthem and Antiphon.
Most people know that the ; word.
"Anthem" comes from the old "Anti-
phon," which consisted of psalm
verses sung from side to side of the
choir, . or 'alternately by men's and
boys' voices. Not so many .realize,
however, how old the term : and the
style of music for which it was invent
ed are. It was described as being
very ancient by Alio, the Jew, a
writer of the first century . of the
Christian Era, and this is confirmed
by the study of the old services of
Jews and Greeks. St. Augustine and
his fellow -missionaries are said to
have entered Canterbury singing one
of the Litanies ; of that tithe in -Anti-
phon. The modern Anthem, however,
in spite of its name, comes from a
much later ,style ofmusic. and is more
like the motet which in Roman .Cath-
olic Churches usually is sung where,
in th;e Church of England, the Offer-
tory sentences occur.

One great advantage of this is that

temporarily to blind the worker.

to the mirrors, so that they may be in-
serted into narrow places.
