Breaches Of Trust.

The present age seems 10 be ono when
dishonesty ID more prevalent than ever
before. Every few days the newspa.
pers announce "Another Defalcation, "
and 1t is discovered that some man,
prominent in the community, who has
been respected and trusted, has proved
dishonest in his business relations, and
unworthy of the position he has held.
such announcements are always
startling. In these times, when one ID
almost tempted. on the revelation that
another person Of high business and
social standing has betrayed his trust,
to ask. "Who next?" it il the fashion
to think that financial dishonesty really
is, rs we'll as seems to he, far moro com.
mon than ever before.
But it is not. More wrong-doing il
discovered; that is all. Nobody can
know how many treasurers. cashiers,
and clerks have specialized with the
money intrusted to them, and have
never been exposed. That the number
has always been large, nobody can
doubt. But the chances are now f..
vorable for the detection of this class
Of crime.
1t ought not to be forgotten that q
large proportion of the evil.doing that
is coming to light is Of long standing
It has been going on for years. The
doors Of it have been able to keep
their guilty secret, and have hoped that
the tide would turn and enable them
to escape from their perilous positions.
The times, which have been hard fol
everybody. have been particularly hard
for spectators. Their plans have
failed. The ordinary ways Of sustain
ing credit have been closed. Thus
shOrn of the means of concealment, the
misuse of trust money could no longer
be covered up, and the whole frightful
fact has come out. The evil is laid to
the charge of the hard times, when the
times are responsible only for the ex'
posure.
While this is the more correct way
of looking at the facts, it remains true
that dishonesty is always prevalent in
society. There is need of sterner and
stricter sense Of responsibility, and q
much more rigid adherence to public
and private morality.

Some INTERESTING DATES. Dates
are generally dry reading; but there is
sometimes tsignifcance in the mere
grouping of dates; and the reader will
find such significance in an attentive
consideration of the following events,
all occurring, he will observe, within
the limits of q little over o century:
Post-offices were first established in
1464; printed musical notes were first
used in 1873; watches were first con-
structed in 1916; America was discov-
cred in 1902; the first printing press
was set up at Copenhagen in 1893;
Copernicus announced his discovery Of
the true system of the universe in 1917
Albert Durer gave the world p roph-
coy of future wood-engraving in 1927
Jergens set the spinning-wheel in mo-
ton iE 1880, the germ Of all the busy
wheels and looms Of ten thousand fu-
ture factories; modern needles first came
into use in 1916; the first knives were
used in England. and the first wheeled
carriages in France in 1859; the first
newspaper was published in England in
1888; telescopes we're invented in 1880;
Spencer, Shakespeare, Bacon, Kepler.
Tycho Brahe were contemporaries in

Big Trees.

Big trees are not confined to Cali
fornia. The tallest accurately meas
ured Sequois now standing in Califor-
mia is in the Calavaras Grove, near
Stockton, and measures just 1927 feet in
height. It is altogether probable that
among the fallen trees in California
forests, there were those which reach
greater height, and it has been shown
that some of them had q height of 400
feet. OF late years, however, the Eng
lishman has been exploring his own
distant domains in search OF big trees,
and claims to have found one which
surpasses any that America has ever
shown him. The Echo (London) re-
cords that in Gippsland, Victoria, have
come to light some extraordinary
specimens of Eucalyptus, and that on
the banks of river fallen tree was
measured, showing total length, from
roots to top, of 435 feet. The crest
of this tree was broken of, but the
trunk at the fracture was nine feet in
circumference, and the height of the
tree when growing was estimated at
more than 500 feet. The tree, how
ever. was dead. Near Fernshaw, in
the Dandenong District, Victoria, has
been discovered a specimen O. Euca-
lyptus amygdalesia, or almond-leaf
gum, standing alive, which measures
$50 feet from the ground to the first
branch, and $50 feet to the topmost
twig! This tree overtops the tallest
living Sequoia by $50 feet. Its girth
is, however, only eighty feet, which is
less than that of many Sequoias, but il
is probably the tallest living tree in the
world.

An Obscure Hero.

Here is story which comes to us
from New York: An engineer named
Edward Osmond was rscently running
a passenger express train through from
Philadelphia to Jersey City. 1t was
one of the swiftest and heaviest trains,
which are only entrusted to the most
experienced engineers. The train was
making sixty miles an hour, when
heavy connecting rod of the driving
wheel on the right of the engine broke.
and one end of it, swinging upward
with terrible force, struck the cab be.
meath him, and shattered it into thou
sand pieces.
Osmond fell senseless on the engine.
He was both burned and scalded, and
the pain quickly restored conscious
ness. The engine, with its open throt,
tie, was rushing forward with frightful
velocity to certain destruction.
Inside the long train Of cars men
were talking, smoking, laughing; WON.
en- playing with their babes. The fire.
man let himself down from the tender
and escaped. Osmond might have done
the same. Instead, he crept along the
side Of the engine, carefully lot himself
into his place, and with his burned
hands reversed the engine and applied
the air. brake. The train stopped. Peo
Die inside the cars went on with theil
reading and their gossip, and the chill
dren played With their mothers, wht

Wall Street Wrecks.

Wall Street is the stock gambling

as q ''short cut" to wealth, Those

are few streets in the world from which
man can carry away SO much expert
ence and so little money. A writer in
the Christian Union says the street il
lined with wrecks and grim skeletons.
Some Of these he points out and tells
their history.
There was bank clerk in An interior
town who made thirty thousand dol
lars in successive strokes. Then he
offered himself to a fair young girl.
and promised her the rarest OF bridal
gifts, and put the whole Of his money
in the street. :.
The market turned his stock plunged

his money was all gone, he was hopeless

him insane.
During the exciting days Of tho ware

the street, He was cool, cautious, and
successful. He determined to mako
$3.50, 900, and then quit the street for
ever.

How the World was Made.

Mons. II. p. Malet, q French scient-
list, discusses, in Land and Water, the
perplexing question Of the earth's age
and origin. He rejects the Plutonic
and Neptunian theories as 'controver.
sial gand deceptive emanations from
false and unnatural data, and evolves
theory Of his own, which he expresses
in the following series Of postulates:
~ There was vapor mass floating
and gravitating in space. a.. This
mass held in it the bases of present ele-
ments. (3.) As the elements are sus-
ceptible of light now, so were their
bases in the beginning. (4.) The light
of Heaven fell upon this vapor mass.
(5.) The vapor mass was susceptible OF
light. CO.. The action of fotation was
converted into rotation on its axis. ~
The action of gravitation was converted
into revolution around the center of
attraction. These actions of attrac-
ton are demonstrated by the radon
ster; and under these actions the entire
mass became subject to the great law
of attraction. (S.) The entire surface
of the mass came slowly under the in
fdence of light. (9.) Under this infiu-
ence the highest gases of the mass
were attracted from the surface to the
light. (10.) The gases, which rose
highest, became air and formed the at
mosphere envelope. (11.) The gases,
which became condensed into liquid,
formed the water envelope, our ocean.
(12.) The residue of the vapor mass
became solid molecules, and gravitating
to their own center, gradually consol-
idated into the solid body of this earth,
the silicious rocks. NJ. Malet contends
that these postulates were demonstrated
by the liquefaction and solidification
of gases by M. Cailletet and M. Raoal
Pictet, and that they are the inevitable
results of the effect of light on the
vapor mass. the great womb of time.
"This light" he says, "fell in its wavy
streams on the wandering vapor, and
reduced it to obedience, to harmony
and to love. There are no phenomena
upon earth that do not follow on in
their natural course from this begin
ming"

IN MEMORIAM.

It'll with feelings of deep regret that
the writer offers this tribute of respect
to the memory of ALoNzo w. WoRLEY,
son of r. w and r. V. WorleY, who
died in Giles county, Tenn, May 2Sth,
1873, aged one year. two weeks and two
days.
Alonzo was a beautiful and lovely
child, and was the center of parental
happiness, and although so young had
made many friends that mourn his loss.
All who knew him loved him. He was
a child of more than ordinary promise,
and carefully did the fond parents
watch the budding of the sweet flower
and treasured many a bright hope for
the future; but as the bud was expand
ing into so much loneliness, death with
its relentless hands severed from the pa
rental stem the sweet bud and trans
planted it in heavens bower, there to
bloom all-immortal. Well has it been
said death rides on every breeze and
turks in every flower. Little Alonzo
was sick for several weeks before bis
death, but bore his suffering well and
tried to be playful until few days be-
fore he died. Many sleepless hours
were spent watching over him, but
never weary; and could attention and
watchful care and prayers of parents
and friends have saved him he still
would be their watchful care. But he
was too pure for earth, and the Savior
took him to Himself, and now his soul
is basking in the elysian fields of Para
disc.
Grieve not, bereaved parents, for your
sweet babe. 1 know it was hard to
give him up, and you are lonely with
out him, but the Savior will take care
of him until you come. AS such sweet
smile played over his features in life's
last moments, may you not hope that
when you reach his happy home he will
be watching and waiting for your COM
ing, and will meet yOu at Heavens gate
with outstretched arms and smile of
welcome and recognition. NJ. A.P.

The Last Week.

This is the last week of the ses-
sion of CaDgress and by the
rules Of the House, motions to sus-
pend the rules are in order. There
fore lively business may be expect
ed during the ensuing week, unless
the two Houses shall concur in res
ending the adjournment resoulu
tion and adopting another extending
the time of the session. That this
will be done is the general belief,
for although there is a strong de-
sire among Congressman TO get
away from Washington, those best
informed are of the opinion that
the business will not permit ad
