American Correspondents in Iceland

American journalism was welt represented
at the celebration of the thousandth anniyer
sary of Iceland-not in numbers it is true. but
ia intellect and reputation. The long letter
OF Mr.. Bayard Taylor in the Tribune is model
of picturesque description, and our admira-
ton of it is increased when the difficulties
which attended its production are considered.
TO write such an account as this, after under
going extreme fatigue in the inland journey
through Iceland and during the exposure of a
rough voyage in the Northern Sea, could not
have been an easy task; yet Mr.. Taylor bril-
liant style is unaffected by these unusual hard
ships. His descriptions of the voyage to Ice
land, of the Kings reception at Reikia-
vik, of the celebration at that capital.
of the inland journey and of the ma
tional festival at Thingvalla, are worthy of
place among his best literary works, while
his analysis of the political changes which the
new constitution has created is thorough, and,
we believe, just. OF the splendid letters OF
DR.. I. l. Hayes to the HERALD We need to say
little more. His correspondence differs in
marked characteristics from that of Mr.. Tay-
lor but is not less interesting and accurate.

If any light can be thrown upon the brief
statement in the Bible of Michael contention
with the devil about the body Of Moses, we
hope Mr. Hallam will be able to let the fullest
blaze possible shine upon it this morning in
st. John the Evangelst's church. He prom
ises also to speak of the Christian race, but
from the way in which many Christians run
this race it is hardly deserving of the name.
Paul recommends that it should be run with
patience, looking unto Jesus, but they walk or
crawl along pettishly and consciously and
never lift their eyes above their black mantle
Of trouble or disappointment or woe. Such

where MI; Kennedy will take his bearers this
. evening in imagination, with the four and
twenty elders around the throne of God. Nor
can they form part of the true Christian
community Of which the Rev. Mr.. Bennett
will speak. because they live not by every
word Of God. Their life is material rather
than spiritual life. '-ss-'..,r:.,:.-,..
While there is sense in which Christianity
is popular religion there is also wide dis
tinction between it and popular religion,
which distinction Mr.. Buckley will point out
this evening. DR.. Lockwood will show the
relation existing between man and his So
viour, and Rev. H. o. Pentecost will hold up
John the Baptist as preacher and reformer.
The Sunday school lesson for to-day will
be expounded this morning by Rev. s. 81.

how the foolish things of the world confound

tianity against all opposing forces. The
altar on Mount Morah will be described by
Rev. Mr.. Steel, and those who hear the knock
at the door Of their hearts will be invited to
let the Saviour come in and become perma-

topics on which the pastors have bestowed
thought during the week and which they will
present to-day to their respective congrega-

A Husbands Fatal Mistake.

Reuben NJ. Murdock, special officer
who does police duty in Greenwood
Cemetery, Brooklyn, shot and killed
his wife, Emma G. Murdock. He says
that his wife started to visit some
friends in Flatbush, with the intention
of staying all nightr Murdoch, who
was off duty, remained at home in the
evening.
About half-past 9 o'clock his atten-
ton was attracted by noise in the
yard. Taking his revolver, he went
into the yard and saw form entering
his cellar door. He fired, and the heavy
fall of the supposed intruder testified
to the accuracy of his aim. He rushed
to the spot, and was Mortified to find
his wife, with q bullet in her head.
Death was instantaneous, as she did
not utter even grean.
The police and neighbors were soon
on the spot, and Murdock was arrested
The police were unable to find any evil
dence to contradict the assertions of the
husband, but locked him up pending
an investigation. Murdoch is middle
aged man, and is said to have been at
one time captain of police in neigh
boring city. The neighbors are un.
aware of any domestic troubles, and
those acquainted with the family be-
lieve that the shooting was accidental.

The Brain.

This organ has been studied with
three objects: the descriptive anatomy
Of its parts, the comparison between
the brain of man and apes, the illustra.
ton Of function. After pretty careful
study of specimens and consultation OF
all works in which brains are accurately
delineated, we feel justified in asserting
that we cannot as yet characterize the
fissural pattern of any mammalian
order, family, genus. or even species,
without the risk that the next specimen
will invalidate our conclusion; that oul
studies in this direction should be
based upon the careful comparison OF
accurate drawings of q much larger
number of specimens than now exist in
any museum; that nearly allied forms
of carnivora should be compared, ano
that the most satisfactory results are
obtainable from large series of feta
and young brains of the same species
and if possible, family and sex, in orde,
to estimate the minor differences.

Maxims In Life.

John McDonough, the millionaire of
New Orleans, has engraved upon his
tomb a series OF maxims prescribed as
the rule for his guidance through life,
to which his success in business is main
ly attributed. They contain so much
wisdom that we copy them
RULES FOR GUIDANCE OF My LIFE, 1904.
Remember always that labor is one Of
the conditions of our existence. Time
is gold /; throw not one minute away,
but place each one 20 account.
Do unto all men as you would be done
by.
Never put off till tomorrow what you
can do to- day.
Never bid another do what you can
do yourself.
Never covet what is not your own.
Never think any matter so trihing as
not to deserve notice.
Never give out that which does not
first come in.
Never spend but to produce.
HCe thO SiSoeSop oiuOi 3CS uiotO ehO
transactions of your life.
Study, in your course of life, to do
the greatest amount of good.
Deprive yourself of nothing necessary
to your comfort, but live in an honora-
BILE simplicity.
Labor, then, to the last moment Of
your existence.
Pursue strictly the above rules, and
the Divine blessing and riches will flow
upon you to your hearts content but,
first of all, remember that the chief and
great duty Of your life should be to
tend, by all means in your power, to
the honor and glory of our Divine Crea-
tor. Without temperance there is no
health without virtue, no order with
out religion, no happiness and that
the aim of our being should be to live
wisely, soberly, and righteously.

Not to be Led Astray.

From various signs in the principal
cities and labor centres in the United
States, says leading New York Jour-
nal, in referring to the working-men's
riot there, it may be perceived that
there is small knot of busy propa-
gandists of disorder, who, in the name
of the workingman, make towards broils
and turbulence on every opportunity.
The unfortunate financial crisis gave
these little centres of spitefulness a
momentary potentiality they did not
expect-that is, furnished some ma
terial in the shape Of unemployed work
men on whose hopes and fears they
could work. These men in very rale
instances have any home interest in
this country. They are the revolution
lists by profession in Europe. The
greatest tyranny to which they object
is not that of capital, but labor. They
hate work. The little band of frowsy
conspirators which headed the move
ments which eliminated in c brief row
are not novel institution in this city.
They have met and frothed and talked
weekly for years past; but until the panic
gave time and to spare for listening to
evil counsel they were unheard OF.
Then they were swift to promise relief
of every kind, like Satan on the high
hill, if the workingmen would only
worship them. The workingmen are
too sensible to think that the fsntasti c
tricks of these would-be leaders, or the
excesses to which they would egg them
on, can remedy any Of their circum-
stances. Socialism cannot be Inaugural
ted on empty stomachs, and when
stomachs are full the socialist dema-
gogue is left to his orations, and the
workingman rejoices' TRANQUILITY in his
home life. In this broad land, where
the people are the rulers, there is no ex-
cuse for turbulence to obtain that which
is wrongfully lacking. We werenot slow
to indicate some weeks ago that If the
question of providing for the unem.

the little knot of mischief-makers who
inaugurated the affair in this city, we
are in nowise led to spare the authori-
ties who 80 maladroitly managed it that
it led to what the safely. hidden COM

pigeons pass during day to and

operator who dispatches che birds has
a little Office opposite the Cour du Ma

rush across the street, attach the paper

tiny messenger. The man who keeps
the birds is a small, singular looking
man, with a long beard. During the

that daily stands gaping and staring al
