The Highest Monument in the World.

The new cast-iron spire of the cathe-
dral at Rouen has just been completed
The Sen,atne Religseuse, of that diocese,
publishes the following particulars rela-
tive to the comparative heights of the
principal monuments of the globe, as
contrasted with this new work. None OF
the structures raised by the hand of man
has made so magnificent or so lofty ped
estal for the Christian Cross. The dome
Of st. Peters, at Rome, the marvel of mod
ern art, thrown up to the skies by the gen.
Jus of Bramante and Michael Angelo, has
raised the emblem to 452 feet above the
ground. Strasbourg, the highest cathe-
dral in all Germany, reaches, with Its
celebrated clock-tOwer, 465 feet; Amlens,
439 feet; Charities, 800 feet; Notre Dame,
at Paris, has only 222 feet. The Paris
Pantheon, considered one of the boldest
edifices, does not exceed 30S feet, the
cross included On another side, the
highest pyramid, that of Cheops, meas
ures 47S feet according to some travellers,
465 feet according to others, and this lat
ter calculation is the one generally adop-
ted-a height which no known human
construction has hitherto exceeded. The
pyramid of Chephrem has 436 feet that
of Mycorenus III feet. Among more
modern edifices the dome of st. Paul's,
London, has $50 feet that of Milan 375
feet; the Hotel de Vile, of Brussels, 352
feet the Square Tower of Asinelli (lt-
aly) 351 feet; the dome of the 1nvalides,
Paris, 344 feet. st. Sophia, at Constanti-
nople, only rises to 100 feet; the Leaning
Tower of Pisa to 1877 feet; the Arc de Tri-
omphe, Paris, to IA feet; the Pantheon
of Agrippa to al feet; the Observatory
of Paris to SO feet. The dome of the
Capitol at Washington, including its
statue, reaches 3O7 feet in height, Trinity
Church steeple being 2S4 feet. From
these figures, which are given in round
numbers, it will be seen that the spire of
Rouen, which has height of 400 feet, is
the most elevated monument in the world.
The old one, commenced in 1914, on the
plans of Robert Becquet, destroyed by
the fire of September 18th, 1922, and
which was justly considered one of the
boldest and most perfect works in exist
ence, had height Of 433 feet 1t was,
therefore, SO feet less than the present
spire.

A Mothers Influence.

In the article the late ex-senator Pratt
was debating, at the time of his death,
this incident in his own life is related:
at was late in the fall of 1885 that,
having collected for the different mer-
camille firms in Cincinnati about So 600,
was sent on horseback by the Lawrence
burg road to deliver to the several parties
interested the money so collected. AS
was passing the branch bank, then re-
Gently established, on the morning of my
departure, the cashier hailed me and bro't
out some bundles of bank bills, folded up
and slowed them away in my saddle bags,
and handed me letters to the banks to
whom the packages were to be delivered.
He stunned me by saying they amounted
to $4,000. There was moment, a SUI
preme and critical one, when the voice of
the tempter penetrated my ear. 1t was
when l reached the crown of those impe-
rial hills that overlook the Ohio River
when approaching Lawrenceburg from
the interior. This noble stream was the
great artery of commerce at that day, be-
fore railroad west of Massachusetts had
been built. What gay spectacle it pre-
sented, flashing in the bright sunlig hit,
covered with fatboats, with RATS, with
gay steamers ascending and descending,
and transporting their passengers in brief
time to the Gulf of Mexico, the gateway
to all parts of the world. had but to
sell my horse and go aboard one Of these
with my treasure, and l was absolutely
beyond the reach of pursuit. There were
no telegraphs then flashing intelligence
by an agency more subtle than steam aud
far outrunning it no extradition treaties
requiring foreign governments to return
the felon. The world was before me, and
at the age of twenty-One, with feeble ties
connecting me with those left behind, |
was in possession of fortune for those
early days. I recall the fact that this
thought was a tenant of my mind for a
moment only. Bless God, it found NO
hospitable lodgment any longer. And
what think you, gentle reader, were the
associate thoughts that came to my res
cuel Away, over rivers and mountains,
a thousand miles distant, in an humble
farm house, on bench, an aged mother
reading to her boy from the oracles OF
God"

A SIGN IN PALEsTINE.-AmOng the
signs of the times may be noted fact
which will interest many Christians. The
Rev. James Neil, an English clergyman
who has lived for some time in Jerusa-
lem, has written book, in which he says
that the Jews are returning in large
numbers to Palestine. So great is the
influx of newcomers, chiefly Jews from
Russia, that the population Of Palestine
has doubled within the last ten years.
At Laphed, one Of the four holy cities
of Galilee, there was three years ago SO
large an immigration that many OF the
immigrants had to camp out, the houses
being insufficient to contain them.
Building goes on in Jerusalem in the
night as we'll as in the day, and plot of
ground near the city has been sold for
twenty times its former price. The APP
parent causes Of this immigration are first,
that now Jews are permitted to own land
in Palestine without becoming Turkish
subjects; and secondly, the new law in
Russia (1s74) which compells all Jews to
be enrolled for military service.

A Brave Woman and q POltrOOn.

A thrilling incident occurred on the
stage route between Ellenville, Ulster
county, and Summitville, on the New
York and Oswego Midland Railway, On
Friday afternoon last, when the courage
and extraordinary nerve of woman
saved the lives of herself and her two
children. Just this side of Ellenville
there is long and steep declivity in this
road, known as Budd's Hill. The Sum-
mitville stage had just began the descent
of the hill, when the pole of the stage
slipped through the neckyoke, and let
vehicle, with considerable force, against
the horses. They began plunging and
running, and the driver, strong fellow
named Lord, instead of putting on the
brake and stopping the stage, as he might
have done, became frightened, threw
down the reins and jumped from his seat
to the ground, and was thrown violently
several feet down an embankment. An
other man who sat on the seat with him
jumped also, and was thrown down the
bank. The other passengers in the stage
were Mrs. HollingswOrth aud her two
small children. As soon as the horses
were free from the restraint of driver
they dashed furiOusly down the hill,
threatening momentary death to the in
mates of the coach. Mrs. Hollingsworth
saw that they must meet with certain
destruction at sharp curve there was in
the hill some distance ahead, unless the
horses could be checked in some way.
Her children were clinging to her and
screaming in terror, but she hastily tore
herself away from them and clambered
over the three seats that were between
her and the drivers. On reaching that
seat she saw with horror that the rens
were trailing in the road, out of her reach.
Her extraordinary presence of mind
and courage never fOrsoOk her, however,
for she climbed over the dash board to
the whiff1e trees, and thence walked along
the pole of the stage, between the plung-
ing horses, until she could reach the
reins as they lay on their backs. Secur-
ing them, she made her way back to the
drivers seat, and put forth all her strength
in attempting to get some control over
the team. She succeeded far enough to
prevent the capsizing of the coach at the
curve. A hundred yards or so beyond
the curve the high bank at the lawn side
eased off in a gentleP slope. Here Mrs.
Hollingsworth succeeded in turning the
horses, and ran them into fence. They
could not get another start, and several
men who had seen the runaway were soon
on the spot and secured them. The chill
dren and their courageous mother were
taken to house near by, where they all
soon recovered. Mrs. Hollingsworth was
able to proceed on her journey in a short
time. The driver and his companion in
cowardice were both badly hurt. They
were received with shouts of derision and
great indignation when they were found,
however, and received sympathy in no
quarter. Lord is an experienced driver,
and his codardly action on this occasion
is inexplicable.-N. Y. Times.

PROFITS OF AUTHORs.-In the " Life

that 26, 500 copies of his history had been
sold in ten weeks. LOngman, his publish

author of their series of school readers,
about 5000, 900; to the late Prof. Charles

The Baby for Me.

! have heard about babies angelic,
With heavenly look in their eyes,
And hair like the sunbeams of morning
When first they appear in the skies;
And smiles like the smiles Of cherub,
And mouths like the buds of rose,
And themselves like the lilies and daisies
And every sweet flower that grows
My baby's the jolliest baby
That any one ever did see;
There's nothing angelic about him,
But he's the right baby for me!
His smiles not all like cherub's,
But rather a comical grin;
And his hair-well, it favors the sunbeams,
When sunbeams are wondrously thin.
His eyes, though they're blue, like the
heavens,
Are remarkably earthly with fun;
And his mouths rather large for a rosebud
Unless 'twere half open one.
His hands don't resemble fairy's
In the least They're strong little pair
As you'd think, am sure, if he'd got you,
As oft he gets me-by the hair!
And he isn't bit like lily,
Or any sweet blossom that grows,
For no flower on earth, l am certain,
Has dear little cunning pug nose.
He's himself-ful of mischief, the darling,
And as naughty as naught can be;
And Pm glad that he isn't angelic,
For he's just the right baby for me!

CITIES OF THE EARTH.-There are two
hundred and fifteen cities with popula-
tons of over 100000; twenty nine of half
million or more, and nine containing
million or more inhabitants each. OF
these last four are in China. New York
including Brooklyn, as We may right
fully do, for purposes of comparison
and the greatest cities of the world stand
in this order London, 3,489, 42S; Paris,
1851, 1893; New York, 1,535, 622; Vienna,
1 ,O91, 800; Berlin, 1,O44 900; Canton and
three other Chinese cities, one million
each New York being third in the list
of great cities, without counting our New
Jersey overflow. But although third in
point of population, it is behind all Eng
lish cities, many other European, and
most of other American cities, in health
and average longevity.

The people OF Cairo have. in times

resist the conviction that they have other
means on hand which may, through pro-

west, containing even one halt the popul-
alton OF Cairo, is without such a
building; and if our citizens had not
gained widespread reputation for liber.
