A BLUNT BIsHop.-Daniel Wilson, bishop of Calcutta, was most eccen- trio old man. As usual, at family prayers, which he invariably conduct cd himself, he prayed by name for the people staying with him. There was a gentleman from Madras for whom he prayed, and then he said, 'Let us pray for his dear wife and children" :" A thought struck him; he paused and said to his chaplain, "By-the-bye, is he a married man?" "No, my lord, he is not married" 'Ah, well, never mind," he remarked, "he may marry and the children may come 7 On an- other occasion it is related that he was preaching against the sin of avarice, when he delivered himself of the fol- lowing remarkably brethren, there are several forms of avarice; one form has recently been brought home to me most unpleasantly. You all know my archdeacon there, a most excellent man; we'll, last week he sold me a horse for five hundred rupees; it is not worth ten. This. my brethren, con slider most unpleasant form of avarice.

Man and Animals.

There can be no doubt, says, Nature, that dogs associate with barking in cer- tain tones special emotional states in their companions. In fact, it is prob able that dogs can in this way commu- nicate with each other wide range of states of feeling. But those states are present states; not past or future. They are their own states; not the states of others.
 A dog can call his companions at tention to a workable cat, or he may have his own attention reused by the simple exclamation. "cat!'' uttered by human being. But no dog could tell his companion of the successsul "wor- ny" he had enjoyed, or suggest that they should go out for "worry" the next day or evening.
 And here we come upon what ap- pears to be fact which raises man so immeasurably above the level of the brute. The brute has to be contented with the experience he inherits or in- dividually acquires. Man, through language, either spoken or written, profits by the experience of his fellows. Even the most savage tribe has tradi- tions extending back to the fathers father, or beyond. And the civilized man-has he not in his libraries the recorded results of many centuries of overwhelming experience and ever- deepening thought9
 Thus it is that language has made us men. By means of language, and language alone, has human thought become possible. This it is which has placed so enormous a'gap between the mind of man and the mind of dog Through language each human being becomes the inheritor of the accumu. lated experience of the. whole human race. Through language has the high CT abstaet thought become possible.

Crops were generally much larger
in the United States, in 1882, than 1881 !;
but the business failures OF 1882 were
1874 against 5,9s9 in 1881. It looks un-
reasonable that the larger the crops the
greater the number OF failures; and
we know of no hypothesis by which it
can be satisfactorily explained than that
there are more mercantile establish
ments than are necessary to transact
the business of the country. Through
imprudent speculation, rivalry and eff
forts to secure customers by giving
credit, there is a full crop of failures.
It is evident to every observer that
right here, in our own midst, there are
too many stores for the amount OF bus
mess done.
