BEAUTIFUL. CHURCHES.
Why They Can Not BE Considered q
Waste of Capitol.

Are beautiful churches q waste?
Perhaps so, from strictly economic
viewpoint, though of that | am not
sure. am willing to grant that there
is no return in hard money for these
enormous OUTLAWS, if admitting this
will give our utilitarian friends any
satisfaction. But it is useless to at
tempt to strike a money balance in
these matters. There is value in the
massive mountain that no book of
real-estate valuation can recognize.
There is value in the mighty catar-
ract that has nothing to do with
water-power. So there is a value in
the cathedral spirc that is not COM
putable in coin. A spiritual value in
herent in the sublimely beautiful. l
pass st. Patrick's every day, and there
is always some one gazing up at those
towers that take the thoughts as well
as the eyes away from the rafting
pavement, and hundreds, yes thou
sands, owe to those "useless" towers
some moments of undergraduates
and some moments of that conscious
spiritual uplifting, which is, in pro-
portion to its power, mount of trans
fguration. The most beautiful church
| ever SAVIOR ever expect to see, un-
til worship in the "house not made
with hands us not q full-grown
church; it is only a chapel-a small,
low building, put up at an expense of
about a thousand dollars. 1t is beauti-
full, because the cellar wall is free
will Offering from poor farmers who
had right to claim winters rest
after the busy harvest season; because
each timber of the framework repre-
sents hours of toll in making aprons
and holders, by the sale of which to
raise few dollars-hours needed for
rest of some mothers weary head and
tired hands; because every clapboard
tells of a pipeful of tobacco less for
the father; every single, cup of tea
less for the mother and the daughter;
and every nail, stick of candy less
for the child. 1t is beautiful in con.
tanning an organ, while there are nc
organs in the homes of the givers; in
having pictures on its walls. though
theirs are blank; in its carpeted isles,
while the floors of the donors are bare.
But would this same chapel be beauti.
full if it were taken up and set down
on Fifth avenue? There, instead of a
temple of self-sacrifice, it would APP.
pear an ugly. wooden box of niggard.
| illness The church architecture OF
Fifth avenue represents certain
amount of self-sacrifice. though very
far, fear, from attaining unto that
of the people who built the little
Dwight's chapel. If into the
beauty of form and of color of oul
larger city churches could be injected
the spirit of self-denial that built the
chapel in the little hill-town of Massa
chusetts. we should have temples
every way worthy of the Most High

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

A Bishops chair has been placed
in the chancel OF St. Stephens Church,
Wilke .barre, Pa, in memory OF the
late Bishop Stevens.
There are signs of Il growing de-
termination in the West to abandon
the German language in the common
schools, following the example of the
city of st. Louis.
John Wesley's Bible, printed in
1871, is in use by the Methodist Con-
ference in New York. 1t is small oc-
tavo volume, and the Book of Common
Prayer is bound with it.
Fifteen years ago the Methodists
had but one conference in the State of
Kansas, with only $4,000 members.
To-day they have four conferences and
10000 church members, and So, 900
scholars in their Sunday-schools.
The annual public expenditure for
education in Italy has reached the sum
of $6, 7O4,2 1S The number of public
primary day-schools is 1880, in which
are about 1,S73,723 pupils. There are
also 7, 129 primary private schools, with
1913, 1902 pupils.
--Seme of the Western cities pension
their public school teachers after GER
tain years of service. In Wiscon sin
twenty-one years of faithful work en-
titles a teacher TO a pension; and Cleve-
land is considering a proposition to-
ward the same end.
In recent religious canvass OF
Buffalo, N. Y, in which eight denomi-
nations participated, only forty per-
sons were found in total of G. 095 who
reported themselves unbelievers in
Christianity, and only three who
claimed to be infdels.
"A German has taken out patent

Frauds Perpetrated Upon Unsuspecting
Women in Search of Employment.
Working gentlewomcn are finding

trap is that which advertises to give
out fancy work for women to do at
home at good return for their labor.
From ten to fifteen dollars week are
guaranteed, and on the circulars sent
out is list of some of the prices paid
for embroidery, which are high. Some
struggling woman sends a letter of in
quiry, and the answer states that a
sample of the work must be sent before
she is taken into regular employ. the

required, and if the woman sends the
money she receives small package

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Matthew Arnold once said to an ac-
quaintance: You should know my
wife. She has all of mysweetress and
none of my conceit."
Bancroft. the historian, always
writes under high moral sense of
duty. He wants every sentence to
embody fact or true and noble
sentiment.
-Macaulay once wrote of French
writer, Barene, who hated England,
that "the one small service which he
could render to England was to hate
her."
Miss Braddon, who married John
Maxwell, her publisher, is said to
make her influence felt as well in her
kitchen as in her drawing-room, being
housekeeper as we'll as novelist.
The journalists of Los Angeles,
CAL, have founded colony of their
own at Ramona, in the San Gabriel
valley. Among them, it is said.
Thomas Mast, the famous cartoonist
will make his home.
Lord Salisbury, Premier of En-
gland, who was formerly working
journalist, is always as courteous as
his position will allow to newspaper
men, and frequently incloses news to
men who were formerly his colabor-
ers.
The London Spectator says Of
General Grants "Memoirs that they

At O recent meeting of the National
Academy Of Sciences in New York, Profes-
sor A. E. VerrjLl, of Yale college, described
the physical and geological character Of
the sea bottom off our coast, especially
that which lies beneath the Gulf Stream
The depths of the ocean TEEN with life.
Sharks are seen by thousands, and count
less dolphins; but it seems strange that
not fishbone is ever dredged up. A
piece of wood may be dredged up once a
year, but it is honeycombed by the boring
shell fish and falls to pieces at the touch
of the hand. This shows what destruc-
tion is constantly going on in these depths.
If a ship sinks at sea with all on board, it
would be eaten by fish with the exception
of the metal, and that would corrode and
disappear. Not a bone of human body
would remain after few days. 1t is q
constant display Of the law of the sur
vival of the fttest. Nothing made by the
hand of man was dredged up after cruis-
ing for months in the track of ocean YES
sells, excepting coal clinkers showed over
board from steamships.
AS to the quantity of light at the bot
tom of the sea there has been much dis
pute. Animals dredged from below seven
hundred fathoms either have no eyes, or
faint indications of them, or else their
eyes are very large and protruding. An
other strange thing is, that if the crea-
lures in those lower depths have any
color, it is of orange or red, or reddish
orange. Sea anemones, corals, shrimp
and crabs have this brilliant color. Some
times it is pure red or scarlet, and in many
specimens inclines toward purple. Not
O green or blue fish is found. The orange
red is the fsh's protection. for the
blush green light in the bottom of the
ocean makes the orange or red fish appear
of a neutral tint, aid hides it from its
enemies. Many animals are black, others
neutral in color. Some fish are provided
with boring tails. so that they can burrow
in the mud Finally. the surface Of the
submarine mountain is covered with
shells. like a sea beach, showing that it is
the eating house Of vast schools Of carniv
orous animals. A Goldfish takes whole
oyster into its mouth, cracks the shells,
digests the meat, and spits out the rest.
Crabs crack the shells and suck out the
meat. In that way come whole mounds
