Are we not safe IN following HIM
The surest rule to guide Us in our inter-
probation is to ascertain, if possible, what
meaning his immediate hearers, the Apos-
ties, attached to those words of the insti-
tuition. Professionals seem to conclude that
they did not anG could not understand
those words in their literal meaning. An
alyzed, their argument is what logicians
call redWetiO I'D dbSurdrm. 1t supposes
that the proposition involved in the literal
sense must at once have struck the Apos.
ties as absurd-ss Implying an impossible
ity. This Catholics deny. They argue
that such n disposition on the part of the
Apostles would have been dramatically
opposed to that state of mind which Christ
had taken so much pains TO cultivate in
them.
He was never known to chide them for
over-con6dence in Him; but He often re-
buked them for the lack Of faith and trust

men to question His words, because they

THE PISCES OF REASONING

THE LIBRABY.

The ladies Of Seattle have taken up
on themselves the good wopk Of max
ing public library. They have organ
med an associated. formed plan up
on the best models and arranged for
library rooms And now they need
money to carry on the work. They
ought TO have fifteen thousand dollars |:
and ten thousand Is an absolute neces-
sisy for beginning. There ought to
be no difficulty in raising this money.
The men, Who have no: been called up
on to take any part in the iabors Of
organization, cannot do less than to
supply the needed funds. and in doing
this they win have the easiest part in
the enterprise. The money ought to
be given cheerfuIly and without delay,
and we believe that it viii be. We
could name ten men who could give
$500 each and never miss it--and they
ought to give it. We could name
twenty more who could give $3.50 each
and never miss it-and they ought
to give il. There are fifty who
could and who should give 500 each,
and multitude who could and who
should give $50 each. There ought
not TO be any hanging back in this
matter. The ladies. having made the
start and perfected the plan. ought
not to have any drumming to do to
make the men perform plain and
simnIe duty.

she is equally sure that Adolphus is

1T is pity to kill such nice little

that when a young woman's ear itches
she has perfect nest of animalcule

squelching : Delegate.

Patrick A. Collins, the thigh muck
a-muck" of Massachusetts Democracy,
is said to he a particularly able presid-
ing officer of political convention, in
proof of which it is told that some
years ago he was presiding over. q
Democratic convention in Massachu-
sets in which was an Irish delegate
from his own end of Boston, the pro-
prietor of half dozen saloons and a
thick, old-fashioned brogue. He was
very anxious for some reason to get
the floor, and jumped up every time
he thought he saw chance for it, I'M
til he had become nuisance to the
whole convention. At last, just as a
committee was about to report. he
jumped up again right in front.
Mr.. President" he shouted.
Mr.. President. Collins raped
sternly with his gavel, but did not
otherwise recognize him. Mr.. Presi-
dent" he continued, mr.. President. T"
Again Collins raped vigorously, this
time turning his keen eyes upon the
obstreperous delegate with a whitening
glance. But instead of whitening it so
exasperated the delegate that he shook
his fist at the presiding officer and
yelled: you, Pat Collins, want the
flure!" Collins leaned right over the
table at that. shook his gavel at the
disturber and quietly but fiercely said !:
"Sit down. you terrier" The terrier
promptly took his seat. while the con-
vention howled with delight.

John Lynch, of Mississippi, who was

yearly business, it is said, of over a

REFLECTS OF. THE EMPEROR's

ical situation In Germany, Russia,
France or Austria. In every one of
these countries the war party will be
strengthened and the peace party
thrown upon the defensive. II is said
that William II. the new emperor,
Is hasty. headstrong and eager for

strain their exaltasion at hts accession

The first effect OF the change of rul-
ers will unqucss:onably be to strength
the power of bismarck. whose rela-
tons with the late emperor were Sc
verely strained. The young emperor
Is said 10 be inclined 20 follow the ad-
vice of the aged chancellor unqucstion-
ingly. This affords ground for the
hops that peace viii continue as long
as bismarck lives. for the efforts of
that statesman viii certainly be put
forth 10 prevent war. While this is
true. the war party at Berlin viii new
