Friday morning Mt IL o'clock DIR.
Baldwin delivered the third and last
of bis lectures on Psychology. The
subject was "Will." The lecture was
characteristic, clear, thorough and
comprehensive and laying down at
each step the broad principles of hui
man responsibility. Will, said the
DR., is mind doing, and it is the one
thing in the universe absolutely free.
Man is a unit. Many people trouble
themselves about the distinctions be-
tween mind, soul and spirit They
are one, there are but two substances
in rhe world of being-mind and
and matter. The brain is where
mind and matter meet The heart is
j tee mind-the heart that feels and
loves. Whe vii must he trained not
broken. Man is free II angels,
even God himself were not man
would not be more absolutely Tree
free than be is

The leading event of Sunday at the
Hill was the sermon of Rev. Mr.. Du-
Bose, at the morning service. His
theme was, the multifarious bless
ings and glories, past, present and fu-
ture, which eliminate in and radiate
from the gospel of Christ and from
the cross. In both matter and man.
ner it was very fine and admirable
production. 1t has been great
while since our people have been so
interested and fascinated by pulpit
orator as they appear to be with MIR.

Congressman Mills is opposed to
prohibition because he considers it
"an invasion of the right of personal
self-government". To be consistent,
he must be opposed to the pistol law,
the laws against gambling, the Sun
day law, the law that prohibits a man
from having mere than one wife at a
time, the law that prohibits a white
man from marryinga negro, and so
on. All of these laws interfere with
the personal self-government of indi-
viduals. -Georgetown Sun.

RUSSIA AND ENGLAND.

War between Russia and England will
surely come. When it will break out will
be mattert to be decided by circumstances,
Both countries are strong, determined and
aggressive, and both have large masses OF
idle and dangerous people which must De
employed, in some way to keep them out OF
mischief at home. Russia wishes to cx-
tend her empire eastward and England
wishes, to say the least, to maintain her
position to the westward and northwest
ward from India; possibly she may try to
extend her borders toward Russia by way
of making sure Of no infringement on the
northwestern line of India.
Russia is quietly getting ready for war,
by land and sea, and England is not only
doing the same, but continuously enforcing
her policy of absorbing all territory ad-
joining her possessions in all parts Of the
world. Recently, without any fuss or dis
play of feathers, she has annexed Bcchu-
ana-land, in South Africa, to Cape Colony
in defiance Of the protests Of the Bocrs Of
the Transvaal Republic The country
annexed is equal in size to both Holland
and Belgium, and is said to be well wooded
and amply supplied with good pasturage,
This gives it intrinsic value in that part
OF the world. The fact in th.s matter is
that England has got into an aggressive
habit--and as Russia is another power Of
the same sort with like tendencies, and each
is reaching out toward the other with
grasping hand, over the Inflated territory
OF Afghanistan the transforming Of that
devoted land into great battle ground is
an event Of the future that cannot long be
delayed. And when the conflict does
come it will be OF such tremendous char
acter that il will shake the civilized world
1t will be battle Of giants, and ciyiiza-
ton will look on aghast at the devastation
it wall make. Meanwhile the Yankees
will quickly work off their wheat and pork,
at good figures.

The question that will spring to
cycrybody's lips is, what were the diff.
fercnccs between her and the English
yachts. the result of American science
and skill, which gave her this immense
superiority?
The priacipal ones can be easily
stated:
First the model of her hull, a sharp
prov with slightly concavc bows, part
ing the water substantially at the
forc-rigging aud leaving it without
pressure by her rctreutiug and bcauti-
fully moulded run, while the English
yacht had convex bows and q straighter
run.
Second, her draught, she cutting the
water forward at about five feet sub
morgcnce of her keel, draught of
about twelve feet at her centre, and
eleven at her stern.
Third, the cut and set Of her sails
and raking masts, at that time two
inches and q half to the foot--a rake
which American science has since
shown was too much, as too great q
rake made her sluggish before the
wind, unless the breeze was free and
strong. Her masts now only rake
one and half inches to the foot. The
fit Of her sails was such that when on
the wind they were set as '.llat and
straight as board" and the booms of
her forc-and-aft sails when on the
wind were nearly parallel with her
keel. The English sails OF that day
were all cut so Us to set like bags and
hold the wind, and when on the wind
their bOoms We're from ten to twenty
degrees angle with the keel, and the
gails, that is, the small booms that ex-
tend the tops of the sails, would be at
IN angle Of from twenty to thirty de-
grces with the keel. Ii is needless to
say that the set of her sails is now
adopted by all forc-and-aft vessels as
nearly as possible, in both England
and America.
may have been too technical in this
description for the ordinary reader,
but there are plenty of nautical men
who will be obliged for the description
