ing his life, very wicked things, which
led some people to surmise his future

Mr.. Beecher has been reminding the
Londoners that if his early ancestors had
not been In hurry to go to America, he
might have been born in England. He
has been asked since be arrived in Lon

ions on good many things, and he had
a right to express them in the land which
he had never forsworn.
Father Murphy, in the Nineteenth
Century, comes to the defense of the Cath
Ole church. He does not believe that it is
the enemy of science. 1t simply is set
for the defense of the truth, as enunciat
ed by that church. Nevertheless, re-
marks the Standard, the champions of
the papacy must confess that when it
was In their power they made it decided
ly uncomfortable for those who would
indulge themselves in original investiga-

There was peculiar fitness in the
recently unveiled memorial to the late
Mr.. Fawcett on the Thames embank-
ment, being erected exclusively by the
contributions of women. He not only
opened postoffice and telegraph appoint
ments to women and made himself a
leader in the cause of their higher educa-
ton, but he was their spokesman in a
thousand instances where his voice was
OF authority and where theirs could not
be heard.

"Cpur de Lion" This use of the word
is retained 10 the old Scotch proverb-a
favorite of Oarlyle's, 'Tine Qose) heart,

times speak of not having ''the 'heart' to

The Canadian Baptist complains
that Sam Jones makes "the religion of
Jesus thing to be laughed at" In
answer to the assertion that he does some
good, it says: "We know that God can do
what he pleases through any means.

bourines, low slang and irreyerence, to
the conversion of souls, he excels in mer

1t is the opinion of the Portland
Press that Mr.. Blaine's attack upon the
elective courses in colleges will not effect
any backward change. In this progress
sive age, young men whose life purposes
have been already laid out, need all the
time allotted them in college courses to
studies especially pertaining to their pro-
spective occupation. Cramming them
with dead languages for some years is
time thrown away, excepting the mental
discipline given, and the same can be OBJ
tanned by constant study of the progress
of the arts or professions they intend
to pursue.

asylum and was shown through the
building by Warden Monroe. Presently
they came to the mild hammered lunatic :

him as the son of former parishioner
Greetings we're exchanged in hearty
manner, and the doctor asked, "Well,
what brings you here?" "Rum, Roman
ism and Rebellion" was the solemn re-
spouse of the patient, who slyly winked
st the warden. "Ah!" said the doctor and
passed on.--NelC YORK Herald.
