ENGLISH FAMILIARITY WITH GREAT
THINKERS. National or public life is no
where so developed as in England. Any
thing or anybody of general interest be-
comes at once part Of public life in this
country. Something approaching it takes
place in France, though in far smaller
degree than in England. 1t is unknown
in Germany. An eminent physician, an
eloquent and lea rned judge, successful
financier, a distinguished physiologist
and historian, who, in Germany, will re-
main all his life unknown to those who
are strangers to his profession or coterle.
will at once be familiar to the whole OF
cultivated society in England. You
scarcely find a lady here who does not
know who is Mr. Max Muller ssor Mr.
Jewett, Mr.. Tyndall or Mr.. Huxley. You
might go through all the drawing rooms
of Hamburg and Lubbock, of Bremen and
Elberfeld, without finding a gentleman
who ever heard Of Bopp or Boeckh, Of
Kirehnoff or Helmholz. Now it is only
natural that such names should exercise
great authority, and that the mass of the
cultivated portion of the nation-the
ladies particularly, who form such an inn
portant part of it in this country-should
blindly follow the impulses given by the
bearers of such illustrious names. The
fact does not the less strike the foreigner
who is not accustomed to such amisono
in his own country, where the public,
consisting almost exclusively of competi-
tors and rivals or at any rate Ofmen who
think themselves competent judges of
eminent men, submit them and their
ideas to severe criticism and sharp con-
tradiction. Century,

Bloody Wild Man.

s A correspondent at New Philadel-
phia, Ohio, relates the following re-
markly strange story; Upper Old
Town, about five miles from here, is
greatly excited over wild man. 1t is
said that he lives entirely on blood.
Chickens, turkeys, geese and young
lambs have been found, minus their
heads, by farmers in the neighborhood,
the depredations we're thought at first
to be the work of weasels and minks.
Yesterday morning, however, young
farmer named Kay heard great racket
in the barnyard, and upon going out
found his cattle greatly excited. At the
same time he saw some person move out
from among them and disappear in the
woods. He found one of his calves
with ears aud tail cut off and nearly
deal from loss of blood. Another had
a slice taken from one of its hindquar-
tiers. The farmer is satisfied that it was
the same strange person who has in
tested the neigborhood for some time
past, who just cut off the ears and tail,
and then gorged himself with the blood
of the calf The neighbors now con-
clude that this is the same villainous
person who has been robDing their hem
roosts by the wholesale. Efforts are
being made to capture him, and place
him in some slaughter-house, where he
belongs.

A Generations Mortality.

A writer in an English magazine
studies from birth to death the march
of an English generation through life !;
basing his observations on the regis
trar's annual reports. The author
singles out for illustration a generation
OF one million souls, and finds that of
these more than one Fourth die before
they reach five years of age; during the
next five years the deaths number less
than one--eventh of those in the first
five; from ten to fifteen the average
mortality is lower than at any other
period; from fifteen TO twenty the
number OF deaths increases again, es-
pecially among women-at this period,
too, the influence Of dangerous occupa-
tons begins to be seen in the death
rate; Consumption is prevalent and
fatal from twenty to forty-five, and is
responsible for nearly half the deaths,

BROKEN THREADS
By NATHAN D. uRNER


A Jolly old handloom-weaver CHANGED
To ply his trade in my native town, blows
Whose answer to all things advanced g.e .,.,
Was In some quaint utterance well laid down.
And one of his sayings its light still sheds
Through all the years with their care and din:
"There is never wool without broken threads,
Howsoever the knots be woven in" 4q
tits true of men, 1t is true Of things, iig5i
1t Is true of whate'er in the world Is rife;
And no halcyon Joy ever spreads its wings
Over every flaw in the web of life,
Though culture and custom join their heads
To smooth in the thick and fill out the thin.
"There is never wool without broken threads,
Howsoeyer the knots be woven in"
Though we plot, and plan, and contrive and scheme
Our cherished purposes to fulfill,
And all faultless every precaution deem,
There's canon OF imperfection still,
Which the incomplete with the perfect weds
In all things human that yet must win.
There is never a wool without broken threads
Howsoever the knots be woven in" 81
Let us, then, so order our hopes and aims
That however desire outstrip result
We can yet show work that no labor shames,
And in fair requital Of toll exult; M a
And then we can study the subtle shades
Between what is and what might have been.
There is never a wool without broken threads,
Hows ever the knots be woven In
The old weaver himself exemplifet.
The pith of his words, for a sorry wight aqi E.
Was he Of foes and sins allied
That no mortal weaving could gloss from sight;
But his faults were such as our fate imbeds
In the texture Of all, be it thick or thin.
"There is never a wool without broken threads.
Howsoever the knots be woven in"

A yyoander!


In most of the papers may be seen an an :
nouncement OF a new rubber boot made by the
Candee Rubber Co., of New Haven, CT. This
boot marks new era in the manufacture OF
rubber goods and is called the "95 Per Cent.
Sterling" to denote its high quality, and is
covered by no less than seven patents, all
owned by the Candee Co. One of the boots,
split to show its exact character, is on exhibit
ton at the stores, and shows an article for
genuine service, that is seemingly indestruct-
ible. The Company warrants these boots three
months, although there is abundant testimony
that the boots will stand six months hard wear
every day. The Candee " is the largest rub
Der goods company in the world, and its war
rant is equal to bond. One of the patents
referred to covers binding for the top of the
leg, in which are engraved spaces for every day
and month in the year, so that the storekeeper
can punch out the date of sale, and so fix be-
yond dispute the duration of the three months
warrant. Altogether it is the most wonderful
boot that has yet appeared.

The Bible.

The preparation of the new Bible which is
to be inspired by sweet reasonableness has
not made much advance yet. We lay be-
fore our readers the improved version of the
first chapter Of the Book Of Genesis. /.
There never was a beginning. The Eternal,
without us that maketh for righteousness,
took no notice whatever of anything, 2. And
Cosmos was homogeneous and undiferentiat-
ed, and somehow or another evolution began
and molecules appeared. 8. And molecule
evolved ~protoplasm. and rhythmic thrills
arose, and then there was light. 4. And a
spirit of energy was developed and formed
the plastic cell whence arose the primordial
germ. s. And the primordial germ became
protogene, and protogene somehow shaped
cocoon, then was the dawn of life. 6. And
the herb yielding seed and the fruit tree
yielding fruit after its own kind, whose seed
is in itself, developed according to its own
fancy. And the Eternal, without us that
maketh for righteousness, neither kneY nor
cared anything about it. 7. The cattle after
his kind, the beast of the earth after his
kind, and every creeping thing became evolv-
ed by heterogeneous segregation and con-
comitant dissipation of motion. 8. So that
by survival of the fttest there evolved the
simiads from the jelly fish, and the simlads
differentiated themselves into the anthropo-
morphic primordial types. 0. And in due
time one lost his tail and became man, and
behold he was the most cunning of all ami
mails; and 10 the fast men killed the slow
men, and it was ordained to be so in every
age. 10. And in process of time, by natu-
raj selection and survival of the f%ttest, Mat
thew Arnold, Herbert Spencer and Charles
Darwin appeared, and behold it was very
good.-London Freeman.

Trailing Episode in the Life OF Admiral
Ammen.

Of Admiral Ammen, who has gone to
Paris to represent this country in the confer
ence respecting the proposed Nicaraguan in
ter-oceanic ship canal, the following anec-
dote is told: soon after the California gold
fever broke out, the Admiral, then Captain
Ammen, was ordered to take command of
three or four hundred recruits and convey
them from New York to California, by way
of Central America. Besides these men, the
vessel was crowded with women and chill
dren on their way out to join husbands and
fathers in the land of gold. Six days out
from New York the sailors showed signs Of
INSTRUMENTATION, and finally mutinied out
right, the ships crew joining in the revolt.
The Captain lost control of his men, and the
suspense that followed was agonizing. Sud-
denly, before the mutineers had a chance to
agree on any concerted plan of action, the
young naval officer appeared on deck in full
uniform and ordered his recruits to their
places, counselling the crew in the meantime
to return to their duties. Tn leader inno-
Gently requested him 'so step down from
there, ~ 'there" being the quarter deck. He
did step down; a growl of triumph went up
from the inssbordinates, and a shudder of
horror ran through the passengers who had
hoped against hope that the will Of one man
could control the threatening storm. Then
Captain Ammen walked quickly forward,
took a piece of chalk from his pocket, and
drawing a line across the deck, said, in his
quiet way, that he would shoot the first man
who crossed it. THEN he drew out q pistol
and waited the result. A shout Of derision
went up, and the leader sprang forward with
an oath, only to fall shot through the heart
he was followed by another and another,

TlAs tIetgy suPpIy.


Several orthodox clergymen have been Ia
menting publicly the death, In these times,
Of the proper material for making preachers
Of different evangelical sects, Baptists, Metho-
dists, Episcopalian and P~resbyterians conn
plain-and no doubt, justly-of the scarcity,
which seems to be on the increase. They do
not seem to understand the cause, which is
not however, very hard to find. The supply
Is reduced because the demand, at anything
like fair prices Is also reduced. While strict
~ frst-class preachers, or those so regarded,
are in request in the large cities at high rates,
preachers Of ordinary grade are not wanted
even at very low figures. All over the coun-
try there are ministers Of the gospel either
out Of a place or subsisting on a very slender
salary very irregularly paid. There are
~clergymen here and In several other leading
cities who have large salaries but they are
to be counted on ones tigers. Most Of them
have a hard time to get on, especially as they
are very apt to be the fathers Of a more nu-
merous family than they can conveniently
provide for. It is said that the average pay
Of preachers throughout the Republic is bare
ly $500 a year. Those without a pastoral
charge usually undergo a severe experience,
for being seldom practical they find it ex-
tremely difficult to make both ends meet.
Apart from this the spirit Of the latter half of
the nineteenth century is far more CONNER
cial than theological. Young men to-day
are. as a rule, averse. to studying divinity,
knowing the slender rewards which await
laborers in that field, and having, besides, a
taste for secular pursuits. Here and else
where, regret is often expressed among ortho-
dox Americans that some of the most promi-
nent and prosperous churches sent abroad
for pastors, the custom being considered un-
patriotic. The reason of this has already
been pointed out. In Great Britain divinity
is more of a business than in the United
States. Younger sons are put into the
Church or the army regularly-it is a part Of
the r~outine-because they must be provided
for; while here, in the absence of primogen.
iture, young..men are expected to provide fol
themselves. The supply of native clergymer
is unquestionab!y diminishing from year tx
year, and will continue to diminish from tn.
two-fold cause-lack of financial our
ment and predictions of another sort.-Neu

New York Herald.

Not quite a quarter of a century ago q num-
Der of clergymen and other religious people
assembled in an open square far from the
center of New York and laid the corner stone
of q church edifce, which they believed
would one day excel in grandeur and beauty
every other house of worship on the CONT
nent. Nest people, viewing the project only
from the outside, spoke disco uragingly or not
at all the site was practically out of the city,
they said; the building projected would be far
too great for the Golfers of a church the most
Of whose members were poor; it might one
day be completed, but only after decades and
centuries of effort such as marked the erec-
ton of most of E~urope's greater religious ed
ifices; at any rate nom who saw the corner
stone laid could hope to be present at the
dedication services. Those who heard these
criticisms of their own plans took but little
pains to explain. They themselves had faith
in the wisdom of their intentions, and, like
sensible men and women, they went prompt
ly and patiently to work to strengthen faith
by action. The elimination of their hopes,
desires and labors appears in the magnificent
Cathedral which to-day is to be presented
with solemn ceremony and revercnt affection
to the great head of The Church. No other
church edidce in America is so great or so
costly; no other has been erected by people
of SO small an average Of means, nor does
any other structure on the continent embody
the results of the loving, devout, self. denying
efforts Of so many people. The Cathedral ID
an honor to the city, the nation and the
Church; but not the least Of it, eternal sig
nifcances is that wonderful results may
aggregate from humble but earnest individual
faith and work.
