for literary performance, no men more de-
serve them than those who daily point out
the significance OF occurring events aud
weigh their Importance with the skill and
capacity OF strong native and acquired
ability. Though with us the newspaper
writer Is an anonymous force, not as in
France known personality, yet he is
fully rs great power here Us there. He
gains no individual public reputation per-
haps hut he helps to build up the journal on
which he labors, and to develop it's power.
To influence the thought of ones day Is to
the true journalist n reward better than
individual fame; and he can best do II here
by contributing to fasten the hold of tho
Journal with which he is connected ON the
respect of the public. That the profession
OF journalism is one Of great satisfaction,
is proved by the circumstance that II holds
with magic power every man who once
enters it. 1t is the prince among profess
sions. No wonder therefore that the
brightest and acutest minds OF our time
are among the newspaper writers.

The question as to whether the magnet

The question hs to whether The mhgnet-
ism OF the earth Is influenced by solar eclipse
has been the subject of II full and careful inves-
tigation by NJ Denza, who ooncluDes, from his
own and other observations, that the matter has
hitherto been very imperfectly understood. Ito
asserts, indeed, that the various hypothesis and
theories which have been suggested ut different
times by one authority and another, az to the
combined influence OF the sun and moon on ter
restrial magnetism, whether they relate TO
ecllpses or to the ordinary conlunctions Of these
two celestial bodies, have no value and that the
connection between these two series Of cosmi-
cal phenomena Is In no wise proved through any
observations that have thus far been made.

In the stories of Futher MATHEWS great

his work, the liquor shops in many places were
closed M, the stimulants disappea red from
unnumbered tables, the distieries were unable
to sell their products, ana myriads Of Door peo-
pie were reclaimed from drunkenness. Even Ia
large places great change was To be seen, and
there was marked decrease In crime through
his hbors. During their revival operations here,

on the platform. We Wish We could see results
from these efforts such IA followed from the
crusade Of Father MATHEW the closing u

and topers the fact cannot be concealed,
though we are told they may convert ordinary
sinners to religion without It's being found out
by the rest ~ the community. Perhaps one
reason why MOODY and SANKEY have so little
to show In this department Is that they do not
adopt Father MATHEWS Ways, lie did MT CON

How TO PREPARE MACARONI.
When you once eat of macarOni
as it is prepared i'll Italy, Olive
Harper writes, you find it like
the Turkish coffee, something the
soul delights in. Why donEt we
have macaroni cooked in the same
way : We have an insensate way
of tumbling a handful into a bas-
in of soup which come out pasty
stuff, good for nothing. 1 took the
pains to get an authentic recipe
for cooking macaroni, and for all
who wish a most delicious, easy
and cheap dish, I write it: Take
three pints OF beef soup, clear,
and put one pound of macaroni
in it and boil fifteen minutes,
with a little salt; then take up
tue macaroni-which shonld have
absorbed nearly all the liquid
and put it on "a fiat plate and
sprinkle grated cheese over it
thickly, and pour over all plenti.
fully a sauce made of tomatoes.
we'll boiled, strained, and season.
ed with salt and pepper. Some
people prefer only to put the
cheese on it, but l prefer it with
the tomato as we'll. If anybody
don't like that when ii is done, it
is because he don't know what is
good.
