Thomas Jefferson was not quite a fool.
1t is true he ceased to be universal news
paper reader many years before his death.
The only newspaper he regularly read was
the Richmond (Va.) Enquirer, edited by
his faithful and devoted friend, Thomas
Rittchie.
CHRISTIAN Union: The clergy of Prov
idence, R. l., have set an example which
We should like TO see followed in every city
of the Union. a meeting has been held of
representative clergymen of all the de-
nominations, including the Roman Catho-
lie, to consider the subject Of Civil Service
reform. As result larger meeting is to
be held, for the purpose of effecting
permanent Civil Service Reform Associa-
ton. If the clergy and the churches take
hold OF the matter, the reform will certain
Y be accomplished.
MAoM1LLAN's London) Magazine for
April contains "Couectons of Lord Chan
ceIIor Westbury," and satirIzes him thus:
''Richard Baron Westbury, Lord High
Chancellor of England He was an emil
a mt Christian, an energetic and merciful
statesman, and still more eminent and
merciful Judge. During his three years
tenure of Office he abolished the ancient
method of conveying land, the time
honored institution OF the Iusolvents'
court and the eternity OF punishment
Toward the close Of his earthly career in
the judicial committee OF the PrivY coun-
Gil, ne dismissed he'll with costs. TOOK
away from orthodox members Of the
Church of England their last hope of
everlasting damnation."
TIE Sunday School Times announces
the startling proposition that "civilization
is an expensive luxury" and comments,
symPathetically, as follows: Gone of the
signs CT progress in Philadelphia is the
forbidding cigar smoking on the cars of
one of the prominent lines OF street rail
way. Some of the smoke-inclined passen-
gers moan over this as an Infringement of
the personal liberty. They even go SO far
as to say their wives and mothers won't let
them smoke at home, and their employers
of business; and now they are shut off
from being a nuisance on the street-cars.
That does have look of hardship, but
civilization is an expensive luxury. There
is no securing it without some voluntary
seIf-denial, and some enforced constraint
of the individual for the public good"

a CLEVELAND, Ohio Journal has the fol
lowing well considered and just remarks
on the value Of business advertising ia the
newspapers: 'The newspaper Of to-day
stands without rival as the great head
master in the spsead Of Intelligence and
information. Viewed as a medium of ad-
vertising, in the service Of the producer
ana consumer, lis vast resources are de
veloped and shown IL various ways; in the
large area covered by its circulation, and III
bringing 10 the very threshold information
hourly sought. Its time-saving properties
to the merchant, mechanic, and housewife
are incalcnlable. Judiciously managed,
the advertising surface of the newspaper
will prove to be, financially, its very back
bone. The immense sums annually de-
voted 10 advertising by many Of our large
and successful business houses prove the
outlay to be profitable. The country mer-
chant doing local trade in the township
where he may be located, will secure the
best results by announcing his business
through the papers in his vicinity"
By the advent of Jesus Christ, the eco
nomic status, moral and religious, was
changed. Born Jew, he introduced a
new dispensation, and the Did crumbled
and passed away. The sacred temple per-
ished, and those who worshiped in it, or
elsewhere according to its formulas, were
dispersed into all the nations of the earth,
still miraculously retaining the enduring
badge of nationality, the inherent lineage
of their race. But the new dispensation,
ushered in by the miraculous birth at
Bethlehem, has worked its way in the
world, steadily, irresistably, through all
the centuries, till it pervades every land,
is:the leading, molding, moral force of the
world, and exerts an influence remotely,
or more directly upon all the peoples of
the earth. To the influence Of Christianity
is due the fact that the people of the earth
