An Excellent Example. The sldarty men employed up and down the Tyne at shipyards and graving docks are setting a fine example in time keeping to their younger mates. There is a joiner, 70 years of age, in the Mercantile Dry Dock Company's yard at Jarrow who has not lost a quarter for nine years, whilst a blacksmith in the same yard, also

Lights on the Altar. Chancellor P. V. Smith has delivered judgment in the Con- istory Court of Manchester in favour of a parishioner, who seked for faculty for the removal of four additional candlesticks which had been placed on the re-table. of St. Augustine's Tonge Moor. No faculty had been obtained for placing the candlesticks there. It was contended by the vicar that the candlesticks were similar to two which had been sanctionedia 1905, and that "no further prin iple was involved in six instead ef two." The Chancellor after, cit- ing from Dean' Hook's "Church Dictionary" and Pinnock's "Lswa. and Deages of the Church sad the Clergy," said that Anglican asage from pre-Hsformation times had limited the number of altar lights to two to be a symbol that Christ in His twofold store was the true Light of the World. Thas two was a number of high symbolical significance, and though the non-Anglican numbers. of enven and five had slac symbolical significance, no such significance could be claimed for the number six for which sanction was sought. He must, therefore. make so order for the removal of the four additional candlesticks se being non-Anglican and ad Catholic.

Keeping Down': the Fools, Major George Haven Putnam, the American publisher and pablicist, who was entertained at luncheon by the City Livery Club the Holborn Restaurant recently, ssid that he himself took part in the American Civil War. Then, as now, there were groups | of people who, seeing only to the ends of their noses, raw the im- mediste borrore and sacrifices of war and could not realise the higher purposes which made the War essential. It was the task of Lincoln not only to guide, the military operations at the front, but to keep up the spirits of the
