THE phrase "dcad as Il herring may

an extremely delicate fish, and whcncy-

ilALcYoN days is the name given by
the anccnts tothe seven days which pre-
crdc and the seven days which follow the
shortest days Of the year. There is Il
fable that, during this time, while the
kiugiishcr, or halcyon bird, is breeding,
there were no storms at sea. Hence the
term "halcyon days" means peace,
calmucss and tranquility.
The origin of the slang expression,
"l'lI cook your goose for you," is this ::
King Eric, OF Sweden, coming with IA
few troops to n certain town, the inhab-
itants, i'll contemptuOus defiance, hung
out goose for him to attack. But Eric
being i'll earnest, the citizens sent her
aids to ask what he wanted. "To cook
your goose for you," was the facetious
reply.

The leaning tower of Pisa is cylindri-
cal in form, 179 feet in height and 80
feet in diameter, and is divided into
eight stories, each having an outside
gallery projecting seven feet. 1t was
begun in liza by Bonanus, of Pisa, ana
William, OF Innspruck. The summit is
reached by $50 steps. The tower leans
about thirteen feet from the perpendicu-
lar. This was manifest before the tower
was completed, and was guarded against
by extra braces and an adaptation of the
stone in the highest portion. There arc
seven bells on the top, the largest OF
which weighs l, 200 pounds, and are so
placed as to counteract by gravity the
leaning OF the tower.

folly, that is as obnoxious to men in gen.
eral as it must be repugnant to the crea-
tor.
A stranger to the habits of Christian
communities who should happen to stray
into conference or experience meeting
in one of our churches, and listen to the
stories of 'ssins committed while con-
science slept, promises made but never
kept" would leave with the cow lotion
that the people there as
sembled were as depraved
set as were ever permitted to remain out
side of prison walls, and he would in
stinctively keep his hand upon his wallet
and watch until he had reached safe
distance from the throng. If the tales
told by some of these exemplars Of relig-
ion of themselves were related by second
parties, there would no doubt be large
sized row, which would interfere some
what with the solemnity of the occasion.
Self-depreciation among religious peo
pie is a species of vanity that is most
tenderly cherished by them. To be I'M
able to charge oneself with nearly all
the sins enumerated in the decalogue
would be esteemed hardship that would
detract largely from the enjoyment of
what they esteem to be true religion. Yet
such practice is false humility, disgrace
full alike to individuals and to the church.
That all men are technically sinners is,
perhaps, not to be disputed. But the
habit of parading ones frailties before
the public in so obnoxious a manner as
is frequently done, is only to
be condemned Would it not be
far better for protesting Christians
to tell their brethren how they were en-
abled to resist temptation, and how much
good they had been enabled to accom-
plish, and thus offer an incentive to SINH
lar endeavors, rather than to cast a
gloom over the congregation by stories of
failures, of disappointments, and of
sin?
Boosting of lapses from righteousness
is far more reprehensible than Boosting
of good done. 1t creates the impress
sion in the public mind that religion is,
after all, ofno effect in regenerating man
kind, and that those who profess to
follow its teachings are no better, even
if they are as good, as those who pay no
heed to the scriptures, and the lessons
they contain. 1t should be the purpose
of the leaders in the churches to dis
countenance all such exhibitions of false
humility, and to raise Christianity from
the slough into which it has apparently
fallen

FOOLISH ROASTING.

Shall the axe boast itself against him that
heweth therewith?-IsAIAH X:15.
The world at large is given to Boosting.
Some glorify themselves over some mental
or moral excellence they suppose them
selves to possess; some over the good for
tune that has attended them in life: 9TH
ers even glory in the fact that they are
conspicuous in sin or have been the vic
Inns of misfortune. Even the Apostle
Paul was not free from this besetting
weakness, for he boosted his ''thorn in
the flesh'' as an agency for increasing his
humility and piety.
In the churches to-day we constantly
run across this species of boasting. Day
after day we hear ministers of the gospel
and prominent pillars in the church, in
their prayers to the throne of grace and
in the experience meetings of the saints,
confess to a degree of depravity that
should forever ALLEVIATE from them the
confidence and respect to their fell
low men. They acknowledge that they
are miserable sinners, incapable of
thinking or doing right, and only saved
from plunge into the abyss of total de-
pravity by the saving power of religion
They confess to uncharity, to dishonest
leanings, to almost every impulse that
renders men detestable among their
fellow-men. There is much of hypoc-
risy in this seeming humility and self
depreciation, great deal of that quality
that has rendered the Uriah Keeps objects
of loathing to the civilized world
Deity cannot be pleased with such con-
LESSONS from those who profess to
worship him, and to emulate the exam
pie set by the savior of mankind To
claim so is to charge the Almighty with
being gratified with his creatures when
they give utterance to what they and he
know to be downright falsehoods.
If man tries to live an honest, up-
right and godly life, and succeeds
reasonably well in his endeavors,
he proves himself hypocrite of the
most detestable kind by decrying him
self before the world. Every man of
sense, in whom the distinction between
right and wrong is implanted, knows
whether or not he has honestly endeav-
ored to approach the ideal of perfection
he has placed in his heart, and if he has
done as well as frail humanity could rea-
sonably be expectedito do, he ought to
be thankful for the success he has at

pleasure at the frantic effort of the P. P
harpies for the postoffice, hoping to profit
thereby. The best thing for the business
men and politicians of St. Paul to do is to
emphatically repudiate all sympathy with

ask the legislature to decide

The Last Rsre-King Concert.

A highly appreciative audience attended the
last concert of the Rive-King company at the
Opera House last evening. The programme
was novel and interesting one, embr acing
the Kreutzer Sonata for violin and piano, ex-
cellently rendered by Messrs. Richter and
Quicken; the scherzo and Tarantella of Saint
Saens with second piano accompaniment, per-
formed with high artistic skill by Madame
King and Mr.. Quicken, Chopin's rondo for two
pianos, a bewitching piece of Instrumentation,
difficult OF comprehension but executed in a
finished and faultless style, besides other ex-
cellent numbers. Madame King ex-
hibited even greater brilliancy in
hsr lingering than at the first
concert-though she is always painstaking,
thorough artiste-and received recall after
each selection. To one of these she responded.
Mr. Richter played with greater spirit and
abandon than before and succeeded in arousing
the audience to positive enthusiasm by his ad-
mirable perception of Beethoven's inspiration
in the Kreutzer Sonta. Signora Bellini sang
one of the charming arias from 'Lucia" in a
manner seldom surpassed, and responded to
double call with that beautiful Scotch ballad,
"Jamie is my sweetheart with much express
sion. Her subsequent solo number was
change in the programme, 'Ava Marie" being
substituted for the aria from Sonambula.
This was rendered with much warmth of feel
ing and ELECTED loud applause. All the re-
naming numbers were well executed and all
the artists were complimented by recalls. Both
of the concerts of this company were musical
events of rare quality, and deserved much
larger patronage-than they received.
