A gentleman was spending a day's holiday in the vicinity of Bolton Abbey, the property of the Duke of Devonshire, says Tit-Bits. Noticing an elderly couple at some dls- tance, evidently admiring the country, he drew near to hear their expressions of delight. When he got within sound of their voices the old lady, looking first at the landscape, turned to her companion and exclaimed: PILGRIMAGES BY TRAIN. Siam shows just as well as other places that religion provides a possibil- ity of great gain, says the Bangkok ‘Times. ‘The modern railway has not killed tho ancient pilgrimage, but has in fact greatly increased the number of pilgrims and drawn no small profit from them, The number of pilgrims who went, to Phrabat this year was greater than ever before, as t railway now takes) them nearly to the place.
