Seattle Versus Tacoma.
When the rivalry between the cities
of Seattle and Tacoma was fiercest,
about three years ago. Colonel Will
Visscher, was editor of l'n>- Tacoma (?obe
and of coarse a violent partisan. < mi?
llay while the battle was at its hehihl an
acquaintance dropped in. "I liavi been
working on a Seat tle paper." he said,
"and 1 am completely tired ont. I cairn
over here, out of the bustle of the city,
where I could have a quiet place to rest."
and suiting Tho action to the word he
threw himself languidly on a loan---.
Colonel Visscher could hardly believe
his ears. His eyes bulged ont. fie near- j
ly choked with indignation, but manag- ?
??tl to Mart OUT. as he grabbed ii patent j
medicine cut. "You'll lind this the worst
fatiguing place yon ever saw." The ;
tired man departed m haste. If his re- :
mark had reached the people of Tacoma. '
however, he would have been resting in j

Th.- Wind ?I th? I>?-:i<: >I?n*s Feet.
Tradition authorizes the expectation
that our Lord will appear in the east:
therefore all the faithful dead are buried
with their feet toward the east to meet
iiim. Hence in Wales tiie-east wind is
called "the wind of the dead men's
feet." The eastern portion of a grave?
yard is always looked upon as the most
honored, next the south, then the west,
and last of all the north, from the belief
that in this order the dead will rise. A
euri? 'us instance ? >f this belief is furnished
by an epitaph on a tombstone dated iso?
on the north sid?' of Epworth church?
yard. Lincolnshire, the last TWO lines of
which run as follows:

The Ki(jhest Church In Europe.
The highest church in Europe is the
pilgrimage chapel of St. Maria de Z:teit,
above Salux. in the Swiss canton of
Graubnnden. It lies 2.4o4 meters above
the sea level-nearly s.ono feet high
above the forest, near Tiie limits of per?
petual snow. It is only open during the
summer time vf that region-or, as the j
folk thereabouts reckon, from St. John
the Baptist ?lay to St. Michael's day- :
and is used only by the Alp herds, who I
remain there through tim summer with j
their cows and goats, and occasionally !
by hunters in s? areli of the chamois and
marmot. All the inhabitants of Salux
climb up hither ?>n midsummer day to
assist ar The iirst mass and hear the first
.pennon of the year, ami there is also a
crowded congregation ??n Michaelmas
day. at, the last service of the year.

Itorial* Among a Race of Giants.
Behres, who visited the Faster islands
in 17L"J. says: "The men of thoseislands
average 12 feet in height and are broad
in proportion. The tallest men on board
mir vessel could pass between the legs
of these children of Goliath without
bending their heads." Late discoveries
in the islands mentioned go a long way
Highest of all in Leavening POM

assertions. 'Their burial [.laces are huge
