AN ANALYSIS OF THE "SLUGGER. "-There

AN ANALYSIS OF THE "SLUGGER There
are no pugulists now; they are sluggers.
Smuggling is simply an attempt to strike a
man hard enough in some vulnerable point
to kill him or knock him out at one blow.
No more skill is necessary than the mule
manifests with his deadly heel. Turn a
mule the business end up and he would
wear the belt. A wreath of laurels or bays
on tho brow of modern slugger would
have to be kept damp or it would catch fire
from his nose. If an earthquake should
swallow up the crowd around an ordinary
smuggling match the district attorneys of the
State could take vacation for thirty years.
The ordinary slugger is a drunkard, wife
beaten and a law breaker. He wears six
inch hat and thirteen inch shoe and has
no more brains than St. Lawrence river
sturgeon. Therefore, gentlemen, we are
sorry when we see the coming generation in
our schools running after this god ofmuscle.
The forerunner of the new dispensation
seems to bs St. John, the slugger, living on
stakes and gate money and grit about with
a tri.colored rdle.-Professor Gouge, in A.
6dnY Journal.

ACCORDING TO the Washington newspa
rers the strikers of that city are now spend
ing most of their time in fishing, boating
and baseballing. All these amusements
afford excellent sport, and happy should be
thew who can afford to enjoy them, espe-
ciallv in work hours, as the strikers can.
Rut how different it is with those who are
dependent upon the men who can thus
afford to give SO much time to sport; who,
when Saturday evening comes, instead OF
having weeks full and we'll earned wages
put at their disposal have only the small sum
allowed each striker out of the general fund
he himself has been assessed to create.

RELIEF FOR TOOTHACHE.-For ordinary
nervous toothache, which is caused by the
nervous system being out of order or by ex-
cessive fatigue, a hot bath will SO soothe the
nerves that sleep will naturally follow, and
upon getting up, the patient will feel very
refreshed and the toothache gone. For
what is known as '.jumping' toothache, hot,
dry flannel applied to the face and neck is
very effective. For common toothache, which
is caused by indigestion, or by strong, sweet
acid or anything very hot or cold in de-
cayed tooth, little piece of cotton stepped
in strong camphor or oil OF cloves is a good
remedy. Care in the diet, especially when
the bowels are disordered, is helpful to nit
igare toothache. # the tooth is much de.
cayed, nothing is better than its extraction.

Attempt to Burn q Theatre.

CHICAGO, May 13.-Some miscreant fired
the Madison street theatre at an early hour
this morning. Flames broke out in two
places on the stage and the rear of the
theatre at once. Tho promptness with which
an alarm was turned in saved the entire build
ing, as the fire was making good Roadway
when the department arrived. Only in the
rear was any material damage done; the en-
tire loss will not amount to more than 5000.

STRIKING DOESN'T pay. A workman re-
ceiving $3.50 day strikes for 1915, quar-
ter more. If he remain idle only one week,
and obtain his demand, he has lost sixty
quarters to gain only sic on the next week s
nav. and will have TO work ten weeks 10
make up for the loss of one weeks ideness.
But strikes more frequently last months
than weeks, rarely gain their object, and
usually result in the discharge of the
striker, sooner or later. If strikers would
only take time to count the cost OF strikes
they would be more disposed 10 adopt Mr..
PowderIy's advice, and boycott them.

THIS Is free and equal country, and no

men have the same right to combine for
their own benefit that capitalists have But
in order to secure that benefit they should

WE would remark to our excellent
friend of the Christian at Work (who
publishes one of the most readable re-
igious papers in this or any other coun-
try that, with regard to Daniel TX
%, 26 and the Revisers, what we
wanted from him was his opinion of
the change made by the Revision in
the punctuation of verse %, by which
change the reading of the verse in the
revised version is as follows Know,
therefore, and discern, that from the
going forth of the commandment to re-
store and TO build Jerusalem unto the
anointed one, the prince, shall be seven
weeks: and three score and two weeks,
it shall be built again, with street and
moat, even in troublous times"
The Christian at Work took excep
ton to our criticism of the anti Messi-
anic bias of some of the revisers, and
in reply we asked our contemporary
what it thought of this change made
by them in the punctuation of this
verse, whereby this very important
messianic prophecy is seriously i'm
paired2 That the change in the pune
tuation is an error is proved by com.
parison with the Goth verse. The
prophecy as it stands now in the text
of the revised version is nonsense, and
cannot, therefore, represent the true
text.

Central Presbyterian for 1886.

The season has now come when
most persons make their subscriptions
to the religious newspapers. We ask
our present subscribers, our agents, and
the ministers in the churches to aid us
in extending the circulation of the
Central Presbyterian. Last year we
reduced the price of the paper from
So to So SO in advance. 1t will take
large addition to our list of subscrib-
ers to justify this reduction. We do
not ask any one to take the trouble of
introducing the Central Presbyterian
without compensation, and make the
following proposals.:
1. Any subscriber who will, with his
own subscription, send the name of a
new subscriber, shall have the paper
sent to the two for 81.
2. We will send the paper free, one
year, to any minister or other person
who will send us the names of two new
subscribers with the money in adj
vance,.
8. We will allow commission of ST.
for every new subscriber obtained who
pays in advance.
There are hundreds of subscribers
who can, each, easily obtain one or two
new subscribers (some can obtain many
more), and we ask them to make the
effort.
The Central Presbyterian aims
!. To be faithful representative of orthodox,
evangelical Christianity, and of the principles
of the Presbyterian Church.
2. 1t aims to keep fully abreast of the learn
ing and Investigations of the day, while uncom-
prOmisingly opposing the heterodox teachings so
rife at this time.
8. 1t notices fully every great question that
touches the interest of the Church. or affects
Christianity.
4. It's readers will have the best opportunity
of seeing the Christian view of these questions.
5. 1t allows and invites free discussion, but
only in the bounds of Christian courtesy.
g. 1t gives full summary of religious news
from every Presbytery in our Church, and con-
tains also carefully prepared summary of re.
ligious news from every part of the world.
T. 1t gives choice religious reading, carefully
prepared or selected, for the family and for =
children.

The Ne,0 York Herald says the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian church, New
York, Or. John Hall's), is the richest
church assemblage in the United States.
When Robert l.. Stewart and Moses
Taylor were alive it was estimated that
the regular worshipping congregation
Of the Fifth Avenue PRESBYTERIAN
church was worth S3OO,OOO,OOO. Ger
tainly to-day it represents over $780,
100000.
Yesterday, says the Herald, there
were quite sixteen hundred worship
pers in the church, and among the
bankers and merchants and well known
men in the city were noticed Mr.. Jaf.
fray, Mr.. Low, Mr.. Kennedy, and As
semblyman Van Allen. Mr.. and Mrs.
Sloan, the only members of the Van
derbilt family worshipping here, were
also present. This handsome church,
which cost 100000, perfect in it's ia
cilities for hearing, seeing, and for seat
ing a large congregation, attracts many
strangers. The richness of the cary
ing of the white oak interior, the stain
ed glass windows of simple but chaste
design, and the magnificent organ and
loft are always commented on by the
casual visitor. Nowhere else is the
stranger more welcome or more court
eously treated by the owners of pews
than here. Hence it is that so many
persons who belong to no particular
church come to worship in this edifice
every Sunday.

The last Canada Presbyterian says
Of the Montreal meetings of Messrs.
Moody and Sankey; Gas in other
places, the meetings were crowded, and
large numbers were unable to gain an
entrance. The ministers of the city
cordially co operated with the evange-
lists in their good work. Mr.. Moody
was as earnest, impassioned, and pow
erful as ever. Many will have reason
gratefully to remember his brief visit
to Montreal"

A GOOD WoRK.-The evangelistic
services, says the Presbyterian, which
were begun within the bounds of the
Presbytery of Philadelphia previous to
the holidays, and which were suspend
ed for time, have been resumed and
are attended with interest in the vari-
Gus churches where they are held.
Three churches are selected in the
Presbytery, which are visited each
week by populations of ministers and
elders, who hold meetings under the
general direction of the pastors of the
churches. The preaching and the ad-
dresses are specially directed to the
quickening of the Christian people of
the churches and the awakening of
careless men and women. With less
tormality than is seen in the ordinary
services of the church there is more
directness in the preaching and spon-
taneousness in prayer and praise.
