 many churches of Germany. He was also 8 musician and wrote many grand hymns which we sing now. He was great reasserter of a spiritual religion. the greatest in that respect since Paul. He believed in and urged upon men with all the force of his strong nature a direct personal allegiance to God. His name is still great force. Calvin became to later generations Calvinism, but Luther did not become Lutherism. His name still stands representing his earnest life, noble deeds and wonderful reformation.
 MARTIN LUTHER AND HIS LIFE woRK-ADDREss
 Es BY REV. MIR. BUCK AND REV. DR! R!@vINCENT
 AT THE FIRST METHODIST CHURCH,
 The First Methodist church was we'll filled last evening notwithstanding the prevailing storm The exercises Ewere commemorative of the birth of Martin Luther, the great re- former. After the usual opening exercises Rev. MT. Buck addressed the congregation in substance as follows: Germany maywell feel proud of her distinguished men, but the one He stands above all the other great heroes. He was born on the 10th of No vember, 1483, and on the following day, which was St. Martins day. he was baptized. His parents were in hum. YGAIS of his life they were very poor Yet this was no bar to Martin Luther's advancement. Though his parents were poor they were earnest, good people, strictly religious, of great earnestness of character, and from fhen Martin Luther inherited that sterling integrity of which he was made. His father s piety gave him 8 training in the right direc- lion. Assisted in his education by pious. noble-haarted woman, he never forgot the .peuerosity bestowed upon him. His life in g monastery prspared him for the grand future that was before him. His visit to Rome opened bis eyes to the corruption and worldli= ness of priest and cardinal and the Pope him seIf and when he left Rome he had gained an insight into papaey that settled his future course. He always had sloVe for theology and the Bible, and thns by his great power of mind he was able to translate and scatter it's truth everywhere He was powerful in speech He could write hymns and sing them too, and thus by his varied epdowments Mar. tin Luther yes enabled to accomplish great

The American Pathological Associa-
ton has just been holding its annual
meeting and it has been discussing one
very important matter-to wit, SPELL
ing reform. Our great scholars have
now agreed that English photography
needs radical reformation. The sounds
of too many words bear little or no re-
lation to their spelling. This has very
important practical consequences. The
best years of "a child's life are spent in
trying to learn to spell words the
sounds of which have little to do with
the letters which compose them, In
German, Spanish, ond other languages,
once the correct pronunciation is given
the learner finds little difficulty in the
spelling, provided the letters are known
There are some ~forty-two primary
sounds in the English language, and
only twenty-siX letters to represent
them, and several of these are silent.
Had we a character for every sound,
then would all difficulties disappear.
The child would learn TO spell as soon
as it knew its letters, and sound would
he welded to sense in the language.
An effort is also being made to reform
our photography by dropping the silent
and unnecessary letters. These chang
IS are recommended by the foremost
linguIsts in this country and Great
Britain.

II is enough to make a patriotic
American groan when he peruses the
figures showing the decay OF ouf Amer
lean shipping. IN 1860, ~sixty-six per
cent. Of our exports and imports were
carried in American vessels. In 1882,
only fifteen per cent. In 1860, about
Gfty-six per cent. of the tonnage enter
ing British ports was in British vessels.
IN 1892, seyenty-one per cent. Our
merchant marine is steadily decreasing
that of Great Britain as steadily in
crcasing. Our total american tonnage,
steam and sail, engaged in foreign
trade is about 1850, 900 tons, while tue
ships belonging TO the United King
com have a tonnage Of about 10, 500,-
coo. The worth Of our shipping is less
than $3.50, 010, 900, while the total ship
ping Of Great Britain is worth $780,
G00, 000. Our decadence as a naval
power is due to three causes-the rebel
%priyateers in the Civil War, the substi-
tuition Of iron and steel vessels for
wooden. and the American tariff,
which last makes labor and material
so costly that our shipbuilders cannot
{ mpete on equal terms with those of
England and Scotland.

Perhaps the world Will never get over tina
idea that Friday is nm unlucky day. That
the crucifxion occurred ON d Friday is more
than can be proved, for even the year of that
event is by no means determined, to say
nothing of the widespread opinion that there
never was such nm event. But admitting all
That is claimed, there have been many events
eccuring on this unlucky day that were de.
cidedly the reverse of unlucly. Of course,
II long list might be given, but a few con-
neoied chiefly with American history will do.
On Friday, August 3, 1902, Columbus sailed
from Palos on his memorable voyage Of
lisc very, and on Friday, October, 70, he
discovered the first land, the island which
be called San Salvador. On Friday, March
), 1896, Henry VIII commissioned John Cabot,
and this commission is the first English State
paper ON record concerning America. On
Friday. September, Z, 1865, st. Augustine
was found-the ollest town in the United
States. On Friday, November 10, 1920, the
AIaylower made land at Princetown, aud on
the same day the Pilgrims signed the com.
pact wLics was the forerunner of our Con-
stitution. On Friday, December %, 1929,
the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. On
Friday, February %, 1882. Washington was
born. On Friday, Tune 1G, 1775, Bunker
Hill was seized and fortified. On Friday,
October 8, 1777, occurred the surrender of
Saratoga. On Friday, September %, 17s0,
Arnold's treason was discovered. On Fri
day, October 10, 1881, CORVALLIS surren-
dered at Yorktown, and the war for indie
pendence ended in complete victory. Other
events might be named. In the war with
Mexico the battle OF Palo Alto began on FRI
day. The northwestern boundary question
which tlrea ened war with England, was set
tied on Friday of the same year. On Friday
the Confederates captured Fort Sumter, and
precipitated the war for the Union. The
Port Royal forts were taken by the Union
forces on Friday; the battle of Pea Ridge
closed ON Friday; slavery was abolished in
the District of Columbia on Friday; Fort Pu-
laski was taken, Memphis was taken, Fred
ericksburg bombarded, the battle Of Gettys-
burg was ended, Lee defeated at Five Forks,
the Union Flag restored to Fort Sumter, all
ON Fridays. -En

President Stultz, whp by the way is
a handsome man, remarked az the dis
riot meeting at She Bethel Church,
Pennsgrove, that "2eligion made a per
son prettier| and siid ''this was in
many peoples favor" There seems to
be such a diversity Of opinion about
beauty. Mr.. Wills, of Burlington CO.,
thought his wife was very beautiful
| and had wheedled himself in the notion
that she was even graceful, when her
clothes would have fit a barrel. She
was dancing at a party and amidst the
ups and downs Of the dance her rather
small feet were raising and lowering
1913 pounds, and a stranger stepped up
to her husband and asked: "WhO is
that woman, she looks like a fire plug.
'That is my wife, sir" he replied.
Some dark skinned nations approve Of
a fair complexion, and in some parts Of
the world the chiefs are much fairer
than the commonality. "A IIaffir holds
precisely the opposite opinion. Accord
ing to his views of human beauty the
blSyker WaR is, the handsomer he is

Mems opinions are as different as
their faces, ever where taste is culti-
waited; they differ about beautiful
horses too. A polished horseman, or /
might say a gentleman of culture, show
