SThe Mistakes Of Noses"

1t is understood that great numbers
of persons are still reading that purblind
mass of erudition known as the mis-
takes of Moses" Does the author
of that book know what the Jewish
system means when you get down to
the soul of it? Does he tell YOU that
its keynote is mercy, and that its
method and aim are simply those of de-
liverance and freedom from the actual
ills of life? Does he tell you that it is
a system shot through and through with
great redeeming and liberating forces !?
Does he tell you that it takes a nation
of slaves. ignorant, barbaric, besotted
in mind and degenerate in body, and
by shrewdly adapted system of laws
lifts it steadily and persistently and
bears it on to ever lettering conditions
and always toward freedom? Does he
tell you that from first to last, from
center to circumference, it was system
of deliverance from bondage, from dis
ease, from ignorance, from anarchy,
from superstition, from degrading
customs, from despotism, from barbar-
ism. from Oriental vices and philoso-
phies, from injustice and oppression.
from individual and national sin and
fault? Does he tell you that then the
nation was organized in the interest OF
freedom, planned to rescue it by grad
Nally unfolding system of laws, educa-
tional in their spirit. and capable OF
wide expansion in right directions:
Nothing of this he sees, but only some
incongruities in numbers and a cosmog.

Why Not 2

Hamlet's sword, reaching the heart
of Polonius through the hangings of his
mothers chamber, transtixed that pru-
dence which is only another name for
cowarcice; the prudence which d.strusts

only the true man who can be really
brave; only the righteous man who can
walk through the darkness and face

Mean men, unrighteous men, small men
like Polonius see what is right and
know that it ought to be done, but are
too cowardly to do it. They distrust
the eternal power of truth and of tie
God whose life it is; they hug the shore

A Nest Of Young Eagles.

The attention of passengers en- the
pleasure steamers from New Lond2n to
Block Island cor Watch Hill is always
attracted to the spindle on a reef just
outside of the harbor. Years ago fish
eagle took possession of the big iron
ca re that surmounts the iron spindle
rod, and has built nest and reared a
family there each season since. 1t is
known far and wide among visitors to
the shore as the Eagles Nest" and
at almost any time of the day one of the
birds may be seen perched upon the
cage, while the mate is prowling around
Fishers Island Sound looking for fish.
Late in June this year Frank SEWN. a
Norwich boy, while sailing, stopped al
the Eagles Nest, and determined to
reach the top. He climbed up the
straight rod, which is about ten feet
long and perfectly smooth, and then
pulled himself over the iron Stats of the
great basket so that he was able to look
into it. He found three feathered young
birds in the nest. While he was MAX
ing the ascent the old bird wheeled
savagely about his face, uttering shrill
cries of rage and terror, and when he
reached the summit of the cage she
darted about to closely that her wings
almost brushed his face. Young SEWN
is said fo be the first person who ever
reached the top of the spindle. On last
Friday the young ones, which were
nearly grown, were seen sitting with
the parent birds on tie top of the cags
soberly looking into the water. --Eart.

splendid crown of fame which the world

splendid crown of fame which the world
has set upon his brow.
Half the anxieties and perplexities Of
life would disappear if we only believed
enough in God to take Him at his word
and trust Him with our earthly hopes
and fortunes. If we cast prudence to
the winds wherever principle was In.
volyed, and held to the thing that was
right in the face of all manner of posi-
bic calamities, we should find ourselves
involved in no mesh of compromise,
weakened andparalyzed by no conscious
ness of unfaithfulness to great trusts
and high opportunities. The bold way is
almost always the safe way. At the bat
tie of the Nile, when Nelson ran his feet
between the French squadron and the
shore, his apparent rashness was a
grand institution of leadership; it is the
great soul which looks over the whole
field of conflict and divines by instinct
the daring movement which snatches
victory at the point of greatest peril.
Abraham was a rash and imprudent
man when he forsook the pleasant land
where his fiocks had multiplied and his
goods increased, to trust, through long
and homeless wenderings, the guidance
of an unseen Power; Moses sacrificed
q fortune and the highest political
opportunities when he exchanged the
palace of a King for the tents Of an un-
grateful. undisciplined and half-civil-
lied race escaping from slavery; Paul
was an improvident man when he cast
away the advantages of his position as
a Jewish teacher to become the wander
ing preacher of despised and rejected
Gospel; Luther was fooihardy man
when he left the peace of his cell at
Erfurt for the seething turmoil of the
Reformation; all men who set tle i'm
press of their personality upon history
are imprudent men; they defy the pre-
cepts of timid prudence, and throw
themselves boldly upon the everlasting
arms that uphold the universe.
/. If you are in any kind of temptation
in which prudence and policy draw you
on one side and principle on the other,
risk all for principle; if you are in per-
plexity or doubt, if past unfaithfulness
has involved you in a network of en-
barrassment and ENHANCEMENT, take
the boldest and shortest way out; God
is pledged to help you, and as He
guided Abraham, Moses, Paul and
Luther, so He will direct your path

The New York Tribune says:
"Some time ago it was stated in these
columns that a novel experiment was
about to be tried in the Nebraska In
stitute for the Deaf and Dumb, at
Omaha. The semi-deaf children of the
institution were to be taught to hear by
the use of the audiphone. Recent re-
ports show that the experiment has
been complete success. The method
consists mainly of object-teaching and
an exaggerated plain pronunciation of
words by the teacher, whose pupils
gradually become accustomed to the
sounds or words used to designate vari
Gus objects; and in time they succeed
in hearing and pronouncing these words
themselves.

The Great Streaks in the Noon.

The moons face, says Mr.. Richard
A. Proctor, tells us of a remote youth
time of fiery activity. when volcanic
action even more effective Though not
probably more energetic) than any
which has ever taken place on thi:
globe, upheaved the moons crust. But
so soon as we consider carefully the
features of her surface We see that there
must have been three well marked eras
of vulcanian activity. Look at the null
titudinous crate0 for example around
the metropolitan crater Tycho. They
tell us of century after century of vol
canic disturbance-but they tell us more.
They mark surface which varies
in texture, and therefore in light
rejecting power in such a way as
to show that the variations were pro-
duced long before the volcanic action
began by which the craters were formed.
For the variations of texture are such as
to mark a series of streaks-some OF
them two or three thousand miles in
length and many miles in breadth, en-
tending radially from Tycho. Craters
lie indifferently on these brighter
streaks and on the intervening darker
spaces, and some craters can be seen
which lie right across a bright streak
with parts of their ring on the darker
regions on both sides of the streak. OF
course, this proves that the craters
were formed long after the great streaks.
When the streaked surface was formed
it must have been tolerably smooth; for
we see the streaks best under full
illumination, and there is no sign Of
any difference of elevation between
them and the darker ground all around;
they are neither long ridges nor long
valleys, but mere surface markings.
Yet must they have been formed by
mighty vulcanian disturbance, such, in
deed, as we may be certain went on at
the early stage of the moons history.
to which these radiating streaks must
be referred. 1t seems clear that, as
Nasmith has illustrated by experiment,
thew belong to that stage of the moons
history when her still hot and plastic
crust parted with its heat more rapidly
than the nucleus of the planet, and so,
contracting more quickly, was rent By
the resistance of the internal matter,
which, still hot and molten, flowed into
the rents, and spreading formed the
long broad streaks Of brighter surface.

A New Career for Women.

In connection with the current talk
about the opening of new careers to
women. the Pal Mall Gazette thinks
that lady whose mode of life recently
occupied the common pleas division at
Dublin deserved no little credit. She
had devoted her more mature years to
the study of law. and more particularly
to the law of breach of promise. The
novelty of her case consisted in the
number of actions which she managed
to run at the same time. In her last
case the unsusceptible jury awarded her
only fifty dollars, but on her crosS-ex-
animation in that case she confessed to
having Just sued another gentleman.
whom she ..really loved, in spite of
his seventy winters, and of whom che
had obtained $500 damages In third
case she is believed to have been more
successful still, having induced the de-
PENDANT to compromise it by a payment
of $4,000. tits perhaps in view of the
enterprise of this lady and of others
who are carrying on q like lucrative in
dustry that an English Judge remarked
in court the other day that he was not
at all SURPRISED that many people advo-
Gated the abolition of actions for breach
Of promise.

A Warm Bedroom.

1t was a winters night. Topsy, the
gray pussy, sat purring on the kitchen
hearth. Sarah sat down by the stove
and warmed her feet in the oven before
she went to bed.
Topsy was left alone. The fire went
down, and the kitchen began to grow
cold. Topsy woke up. She wanted to
60 upstairs and jump into Sarah's bed.
So she tried to open the door with her
paw; but Sarah had latched it.
Topsy mewed with vexation. She
went back to her place on the hearth.
The moon shone into the room. TOpsy
saw the oven door open. She purred at
this. 81 have it now" she meant.
'I'll sleep snug and warm
Into the oven she crept. She rolled
herself into ball, put her head on her
paws, and purred herself to sleep.
Next morning Sarah came down be.
fore light. 1t was washing-day, and she
was in a hurry. She shut the oven
door. and did not see Topsy. Then she
made her fire. Topsy's bedroom began
to prove too warm. Poor little cat! She
tried to push the door open; but sha
could not. "Mcw, new" she cried.
The fire snapped and cracked. and
Sarah did not hear her. She scratched
the door, and mewed as loud as she
could.
Spot, the little dog. ran in from the
barn. He wanted his breakfast.
"Mew, new" cried Topsy. Spot heard
her. "Bow, WOW, wow," barked Spot.
He pulled Sarah's dress with his teeth.
ID al
Sarah and barked. She came and
opened the oven door.
Out jumped very smutty pussy. She
was very glad pussy, though; and sh:,
rubbed herself against Spot, and purred.
1t was pussy's way of thanking him.
Afterwards, Sarah looked in the oven
mornings before she made her fire.
