Rev. ID. Price-JOnes. NJ. A., diocesan
missionary clergyman of the Great
Wild Street district of st. Giles n-thc
Fields, calls attention 10 n phase ot
Slum life which appears TO be but little
known even among those who are in
tcrcstcd in the condition Of the London
poor. He says: That certain local..
ties are the haunt, Of large gangs OF
lads and girls who spend half the night
in the streets and give the police much
trouble is II fact which has long been
notorious. But it is not so generally
known that the reason why many Of
these young people infcSt the streets
and become law-brcakCrS is that they
have no homes. The truth is, however,
that many of them are real outcasts.
They have been cast out of the only
homes they ever had by their own
fathers, not necessarily for misconduct,
but simply because they were felt to
be membranes. And this is the great
est misfortune to hundreds of poor
children in London that their fathers
are known or supposed to be still liv-
ing. What becomes of these homeless
ones after they leave the streets? That
is the question to which | now more
particularly wish to call attention.
Whore do they sleep? Sometimes in s.
penny lodging houses, sometimes on
door-steps, and very often in the pas
sagcs or on the staircascs of houses let
in onc-room tcnemonts to people of
their own class. But the majority of
the street Arab fraternity generally
prefer quarters where they are not
likely tobc interfcred with or disturb
ed, so they utilize the empty cellars
which We're formerly occupied by poor
families, but which have been con-
dcmncd by the sanitary inspectors as
unfit to live in. And when they have
ended their nights amusements in the
streets, it is often in these under
ground holes that they take refuge,
boys and girls together, some of them
being mere children. This district,
where | work and live, is teeming with
such young outcasts. 1t is, in fact, a
sort of human rabbit warren. ."-LOn-

Religious Equality in England.

The time has now long gone by since
those who approach the question o
the establishment must first turn ol
capture the great fortresses that have
been at sundry times and in divers
places diligently reared in defense OF
national church by long array OF
potent divlnes. From the noble gravity
OF Hooker,in the sixteenth ccntury,and
the Shrcwd reason OF Warburton and
Paley IN the eighteenth, down to the
practical wisdom OF Chalmers, the ve-
hcmence OF Arnold, the eager tenaclty
OF Stanley in our own immediate day
and generation, all the resources of
ecclesiastical eloquencc and logic have
gone to build up and to fortify theory
which may still impress the student of
abstract polity, but which has steadily
and rapidly lessening relation to real
affairs. Nor is it any more ncedful
that the assallant of the establishment
should begin with the imposing pleas
OF some OF the most renowned of lay
statesmen, from Burke to MIR. Glad

The Financial Situation.

The statement of the clearinghouse
banks on Saturday last was remark
able one and showed changes in the
averages for the week which have
rarely been exceeded. A gain of near
ly $4,000, 900 in cash is an exceptional
circumstance and is rendered more
important by contraction of about
S2,SOO,OOO in loans. The banks have
now Il surplus reserve of S23, SCI 800, II
larger amount than for many years.
The recent financial troubles have
evidently taught bank officers II lesson
and they have turpcd their energies to
proper account. Houses have been
put in order and the moncycd institu-
tions Of tins city are now in II very
strong position While the prcpara-
tiOnS necessary To reach their present
position may have compelled the banks
to temporarily curtail their accom-
modalionS to customers, the fact that
timid people are once more assured is
of greater Importance, aS II return of
confidence is most needed if the cOun-
try is TO he lifted out Of the rut of
depression into which it has been
brought by the extravaganza and

The conservative policy of the
banks will stand the mercantile and
industrial interests in good stead later
ON. The prospects are that we shall
have Il phenomenal harvest with Il
good foreign demand for our crops rs

India. Vast sums of money will be
required to move these crops and the

Indeed, it is probable that If any feast
BILE scheme for reaching the pole, either
by way of the New Siberian islands or
by way Of Franz Josef land, were pre-
scntcd to Mr.. Oscar Dickson he would
be inclined to give it his favorable con-
sidcration and active support; only he
would no doubt require that Baron
Nordenskjold should be the leader.
When we remember the obstacles met
with by the toor Jeanette party in
their escape over the very route pro-
posed in the Russian plan, we confess
that we are very doubtful of its feast
bility. So far us information goes at
present it seems that Franz Josef land
would be Il more hopeful basis than
the New Siberian islands.

scientist to Il reporter, "thcrc is II sub
tcrrancan river running from Lake
Superior through Lake Huron under
Lake Erie and cmptying into Lake On
tario. There is no other way in which
to explain certain mysteries connected
with our great lakes. There is a cOntin-

comparatively insignificant Detroit

all the great pressure and volume from

seems to be most reasonable. All the
st. Lawrence fish are taken in every
one of the lakes but Lake Erie. Why?
Recausc they follow the course of the
subtcrranoan stream, passing three
hundred feet beneath the bottom of
Lake Eric, and enter the waters of the
upper lakes. The great lakes above
Lake Eric have an occasional lluX and
relluX of their waters, corresponding
with ocean tides save in regularity.
"Thc subterranean river, according
TO my theory, becomes occasionally OBJ
structed by great obstacles that are
constantly moving down from the lake
bottoms. Then the channels or out
let are insufficient to carry off the great
volume of water, and they are damned
back, and the lakes rise. Finally these
distractions are swept away by the ir-
rcsistiblc pressure, the river flows
naturally once more, and the damned
waters subside. That is the whole
mystery of the rise and fall of the
tides in the great lakes. Erie Dis

A New Polar Expedition.

A new plan for polar expedition
has been submitted by several officer,
of the Russian navy to the minister
Admiral Shestakoif. Starting with
the conviction that it is impossible tc
reach the north pole by sea on account
of the islands that surround the polar
reagion, the Russian officers propose
to start an expedition in sledges from
the New Siberian islands, which are
nine hundred nautical miles distant
from the goal. This space is to be
covered by sledge parties, who would
make depots of provisions in the newly
discovered islands, and thus slowly
but surely advance toward the north,
securing at the same time the return
journey of the expedition. When elab'
Grated the scheme will be submitted to
the learned societies Of Russia and the
necessary funds raised, partly by sub
scription, though it is probable that Il

would, even now, be estimated at not
much less than 100000. Whatever il
may be worth, it is qualification to
me to know that it is the produce of

ing hereditary except one slave, who
would oblige me very much If he
would accept his freedom. 1t is sufli-

leave my family above wantif | should
be separated from them. 1t is a mat
ter also of consolation to me to know
that this wanton exposure of my pri-
vate affairs can do me no pecuniary
prejudice. My few creditors will not
allow their confidence in me to be
shaken by it. 1t has. indeed, led TO
one incident, which was at the same
time source of pleasure and Of pain.
A friend lately called on me, at the in
stance of other friends, and informed
me that they were apprehcnsive that
my private affairs were embarrassed,
and that | allowed these embarrass-
ments to prey upon my mind. He
came, therefore, with their authority,
to tell me that they would contribute
any sum that l might want to relieve

Edwin Arnold, wrote the most of Light
of Asia on the cull of his shirt sleeve,
while riding in the ears to and from
his Office lie says his father went into
London every morning, and during the
ride would write on his cuff with pencil
In the evening, after his return home,
he copied the lines Off on paper, and in
thiSway wrote most of the poem
If Julian Arnold really said that, he
probably told more lies in those few
lines than he ever told in the same
space before. This "cuil writing" busi-
ness, dearly beloved, is beautiful, but
rather gauzy fable that exists in the
highly Imaginative intellects of young
journalists, of some three or four days
experience in the dog fight and fire de-
partment of IN able journal. A cuff is
an awkward thing to write on at best,
and it is very seldom that a newspaper
man is so reduced for stationery as to
be compelled to write poems and lead
crs on his cuffs. Especially when the
concern" furnishes note books and
lap tablets.
When you hear man telling how he
took down n three-column speech, at
midnight, in pelting storm, on his
cull, ask him if he didn't see to write
his notes by the lurid glare of his nose.
The one is quite rs probable as the
other. No more of this "cuffn business.

should come all the way from England
to tell us such stuff as that. We have
some good old romances right here in

but one reporter who claimed to take
all his notes on his cuffs. And we never
saw him but once with cuffs on his
