The Russo-GERMAN IMpER1ALIsT ENTENTE
His Majesty Emperor William of Germany
made his entry to st. Petersburg yesterday, on
his visit to the Gar Alexander. The German
monarch was received with extraordinary
honor by the Russian Court and people. The
Emperor Alexander, accompanied by the
Grand Dukes of his family, advanced dis
lance of thirty miles to meet him and escort
him to the capital Here there was grand
military review, public ovation, reception at
the Winter Palace and decoration with crosses
of honor The Iron Cross, which was con-
ferred on Kaiser William, bears the addi-
tional inscription 'for valor," a compliment
Justly due to the personal gallantry of the
Prussian veteran. The entire scene was mag
nifcent in an imperialist dynastlc sense, and
its consequences may be fruitful in the devel-
opment of grave interests, particularly East
ward.

The HONORABLE RULE in business is to
make liberal concessions to steady and good
profits in proportion as trade increases. The
business morality of the Atlantic cable
monopoly is to take advantage of the neoes-
sity Of customers and to fleece them the
more the greater their patronage. Because
the press is the best customer of the
cable, and because the Vienna Exposition
promises to make the press increase its patron
age of the cable, the cable directors exact
double rates. Is it not time that such sys-
tenn of imposition should be swept away and
that the English and American nations should
possess a cable of their own for the protection
of the people and Of the press?

ceived what he sought-the repeated applause
of large audience.
DIR. Storrs inculcated truthfulness, moral
honesty, sincerity OF character, SO that men
shall act as well as speak the truth. To
speak, to act, to live the truth in love to God
and to man, he considered the highest maxim
of human ethics truthful life is certainly
grand, sublime thing, and happy is the
man of whom it can be said that he lived such
a life
In the "Outline of Social Danger given
last evening by DIR. Conrad We have some
startling truths presented which should wake
up the churches to keener sense of their duty
and responsibility toward the masses. In q
population Of less than a million it is sad
fact to record that fifty thousand live
by crime, and that the casual or tenn
porary criminals from whom the ranks
of the fifty thousand are recruited
number thirty-six thousand more. There is,
therefore, need for something more than our
civil reformatory institutions. power that
will plant honesty in the soul will make the
actions honest also. But if theft and murder
are in the heart all our prisons and peniten-
tiares will but postpone the manifestation OF
these principles of evil, which will, sooner or
later, assert themselves to the great injury and
scandal of the community. Nevertheless
reformatories perform very important func
ton IN the Suppression Of crime and should be

tice
The eventual re-establishment Of the mo-
nopoly by the union OF the French and English
cables under one management soon put to
flight any hope of more just and liberal
course on the part of the company. The
people and the press have ever since been at
the mercy Of greedy corporation, and have
had ample opportunity to judge Of the quality
Of that mercy. They have been subjected to O
policy as annoying from Its petty tyranny, as
it is injurious by reason Of its sordidness. The
use of the cable is now public necessity, and
the advantage of its liberal employment by
the daily journals cannot be overestimated
Without the press the cable would be dam
gerous weapon in the hands of capital
1t would afford undue advantages to
the wealthy over men of ordinary
means, and would become an instrument of
fraud and conspiracy for the benefit of those
who hold it under their control. In combina-
ton with the press the cable is public bless
ing. 1t places all men in possession of the
news simultaneously, and does much-it
ought to do more--to nullify the undue
advantage of enormous capital and powerful
combinations. 1t is probably to this very fact
that we owe the policy which we have de-
nounced and which is about to be still more
Extensively enforced unless public sentiment
should succeed in preventing the consumma-
ton of the illiberal and unjust action pro-
posed by the Cable Company 1t is an

The Effect of Light upon the
IMtellecba

We would ask it to be observed how
great an influence light has on the sys-
TEN OF the intellectual functions. The
soul finds in it the least deceiVing of the
consultations it seeks for the eternal sad
ness of our destiny-the bitter melan-
chOly of life. Thought, fettered and
dumb In dark place, springs into free
dom and spirit at evening, in a room
brilliant with light. We cannot shun
the sad moods caused by gloomy and
rainy weather, nor resist the impulse of
joy given by the spectacle of brilliant
day. Here we must confess our slavery
yet a slavery to be welcomed, that
yields only delights. And why should
we not join in the chorus of all animate
and ,inanimate things, which, at the
touch Of light, quiver, and thrill, and
betray in thousand languages the mag
ical, rapturOus stimulus of that contact? q?
By instinct, and spontaneously, we seek
it everywhere, always happiest when it
is found. In some sort it suffices u.s.
And what part it plays, what a charm
1t gives, in wOr ks OF poetry and art
This is not the place to unfold that at
tractive and hardly-Opened chapter of

and the great masters of all ages, not
following a system of empirical analO-
gies and far fetched suggestions, butled
by strict physiology and rigid optic
laws. A charming picture would un-
fold in tracing the countless, and cheer
full aspects OF the sky, and all the ca
prices of light and air in their influence
over the moral and physical nature of
painters, poets, and musicians. The
every varying face of the sun, the fires
OF dawn and sunset, the Opalescent
play of air, the simmer of twilight, the
blue, green, shifting hues and iridescent
CLEANS Of sea or mOuntain-all these
things find a destined answer in the in
most and unconscious OngrOwings of
life, as in the soul of one who looks un-
derstandingly at Natures works. In it
they reveal and transform themselves
by su btlest thrills-tender and creative.
He who shall detect these-shall link,
range and embrace them in their won
derfulty complex unity-will render a
great service to science and to art. He
will not make the artist an autonatiOn,
nor prove man the copy Of a plant,
| drawing all its virtues from the soil it
springs in, but he will lay his hand upon
the mechanism, as yet scarcely guessed
moving a whole system of mighty com
binatiOns of energy.-[Revue des Deux

FLIRTING.-It is remarkable, but
nevertheless true, that, as a rule, firts,
both male and female, do not marry
quickly. The chances are that girl
who being engaged at eighteen, and
goes on becoming engaged and olsen
gagged, as is the custom for firts to do,
ultimately settles down into confirmed
old maid. Ii she does wed, asa gene
raj rule, she develops into a virulent
wasp, makes her husband miserable,
and brings her children up badly. It is
not very difficult to find reasons why
flirts do not marry. Sensible men ad-
mire in a woman something more than
pretty face and engaging manners.
They love intellect, common sense, and
heart qualifications, which the tlirt
does not possess. The true woman al
lows her affections full play, and is not
ashamed of them. She win not lead
man to believe she cares for him when
she does no such thing; she will not
fiirt with him just for the sake of fiirt-
ing. She has true conception of what
is right, and possesses Q great deal more
common sense. She has derived her
education from something else than
three-volume novels and the society of
the empty~pated. She can be thorough
ly merry, but she can be merry without
being idiotic. She may attract less at
tention in drawing room than flirt
does, because she is less noisy and OBJ
strusive; but for all that, she will be
married sooner, and make her husband
better and truer wife. A true woman
does not care for the spooney young
man. She dislkes his foppishness, the
vivid compliments he pays her, and his
efeminacy. He quickly finds this out
and leaves her in peace. Thus, if he
ultimately gets married, it is to the
flirt, and the happy pair lead the jolliest
cat and dog life imaginable.

BOILED INDIAN PUDDINa.-The old
fashioned way was to stir meal into
new milk until it was thick enough to
put into cloth bag without soaking
through much. Salt it, of course, and
put in handful of dried raspbeTTies !;
tie the bag, leaving room for the meal
to swell one-half, Put 1t over to boil at
eight O'Clock IN the morning, and boil
until noon, adding boiling water as
needed. 1t should be eaten, if possible,
with maple molasses.
The best way, however, to make a
boiled pudding is to steam it. Take
equal parts of rich buttermiIk and
sweet skim-milk, two eggs, a large tea
spoon of soda, and stir In meal to make
a rather thin batter. Have enough,
when done, to make twO-quart pan
two-thirds full. Put this in the pan in
steamer, cover tight, and steam an
hour and half, and it will be nicer and
lighter than boiled pudding.

What is the difference between hope

Desire is tree in leaf, hope is a tree

What is eternity?
A day without yesterday or tO-mor-
row; day without an end.
What is time ? e.
A line that has two ends-a path that
begins in the cradle and ends in the
grave.
What is God?
A necessary being-the. sun of eterni-
ty-the machinist Of nature-the eye of
Justice the soul Of the world.
Does God reason?
Man reasons, because he doubts-he
deliberates, he desires; God is omnipO-
tent; he never doubts; therefore, never
reasons,
