LOVE THE CONDITION OF GREAT
N sss.-The spirit Of love is the condi-
ton of the highest and truest great
ness. The need Of praise will always
ba awarded to unselfsh love, and the
deed of benelcence and mercy. For
the time being there may be admra-
ton of the conqueror CT the statesman
the same kind ofadmiration that we
feel in the manifestation Of the thun-
der of the heavens or the upheaval OF
the volcano or, on the other hand,
for that genius which overridcs the
powers Of ordinary men, But it does
not thrill I'LL hearts, and the names do
not become household words. as the
benefactors who have contributed
some benefit, who have cast abroad
some little seed which has brought
farth light, comfort, and blessing
These are the men who are always
truly honored, and if not recognized
as great, they have had the conscious
ness that theirs was greatness in itself
1t is better to be great than to be call
ed great. 1t is better to have the
blessing ola loving spirit. arising from
an unconscious and mscliSh doing Of
good it is better to have this than to
have the recognition Of men. These
are the true workers and servants Of
men who have the greatness OF the
Infinite Giver, despite all qualifications
or detractions, who "came not to be
ministered unto, but to minister. -
Rev. E. H. Chaplin.

cal oHtnses in the Albany PenitenIiary
has excited the compassion OF ten
dcrhearled member of the administration

them may be released through the
exercise of Executive clemency. M,
Gcrritt Smith has accomplished more
than he sought by his visitto these vic
Tins Of Grants ambition. He went
there with relyphilanthropic motives
and lie comes away with the most
terrible evidence OF an outrage upon
innocent citizens unparalleled in our
history, The three eases which he more

Mr., Smith has satisfied him that the

A CASE of scientific investigation at
Cornell University, by Professor Low,
is full of interest to farmers, and espe-
ciaHy to dairymen. The milk fur
nished by the milkmen attracted the
attention of the Professor, by the Pc
culiar appearance of the cream, which
had ropy look. When subjected to
a powerful microscope there appeared
a large number of living Organisms of
different stages of growth. Tho in
vestigation was Published by the Pro-
fessor, and the cause ascertained. The
miIkman admitted that he had allowed
his cows to take their drink from q
stagnant pool, instead of giving them
good pure water. twas shown that
the fonI Organisms taken up by the
cows when drinking such water pass
into circulation, enter the blood, and
even taint the secretions, making the
milk a mass of filth.

The famine in Persia which now
seems to be drawing to close has
been productive of an amount of mis-
cry almost unparalleled in modern
times. Captain Piersen, an English
man who has recently travelled in
that unhappy country, describes the
last stage of the famine as worse than
the first. On hissjourney from Shi-
raz to Teheran he found the road
strewn with half-eaten eorpses; cam
nibalisrn was very prevalent, and star
vation had aroused the usually peace
able inhabitants to dispair, and brig
andage and other crimes of violence
were rife all along the roads. In the
capital alone, out of population of
eighty thousand, at least twenty thou
sand had fallen victims to the famine
and its attendant diseases.
