The K NJ Q's and the HIS and KS of
Coffee Millionaire Arbuckle, of New York
will not soon be forgotten, either by himself
or the rest of the world.
They are likely to cost him S4j, 900, and
they put broad smile over the face of the
populace. 1t has been suggested that Mr.,
Arbuckle will now discard the popular inter
etly. This shorthand of love, however, will
probably not take on any prosaic meaning,
but will go hand in hand with young Cupid
for many years to come.

country's complete exemption from labor
troubles. Yet since the civil war there
have been 1000 regular strikes, besides minor
troubles too many to be counted. In three
months Of one year QS10 there were more
strikes and riots, labor troubles and militia
calls to suppress them, more fighting and de-
struction of property about work and wages
than in all the years from Washington
to Lincoln. In the first edition Of
Webster's Dictionary the word tramp" as q
substantive with its present meaning was not
found; as the thing did not exist in America
the photographer did not think it worth
while to import the English slang word. Yet
q close observer could see even then that
Americas exemption was not solely due to
her rulers or institutions, but largely to the
immense area Of cheap and fertile land; and
when the civil war ended, and foreign immi-
grafton assumed magnitude never dreamed
of forty years ago, the premonitory symp-
toms were at once visible.

Masquerier was one Of the twenty-five co.

group. OF these five were present at his
funeral
One living to 50 great an age would natur

were prominent during the last century. In

the close he declined pay or pension saying that
he did not fight for wages, but for liberty and

Masquerar, made a colossal sketch OF Napoleon

A BROKEN FlANGe.
The Ruin 1t Worked On the Boston and
Maine Railroad.

Only a broken flange! Only slight flaw,
imperceptible to the human eye!
But that flaw, that break in the hange,
meant bruised, torn and bleeding bodies for
large number Of human beings, instant
death to nine and lingering, agonizing death
to three more.
This accident, one OF the earliest Of the
year and tho worst so far, took place at Hav-
hill, on the Boston and Maine, a railroad that
has heretofore been singuArly free from dis
aster. The broken fange threw the smoker
from the track, and instantly the cars were
in hopeless confusion.
A noteworthy escape from personal injury
was that Of the engineer of the unlucky train
Warren French. He bears a charmed life.
During his experience as a railroad man no
has met death face to face several times but
has never been harmed and has never been
personally at fault.

novel one. His operations are carried on at
12S West Fourth street, and the result has
been such as to make most people won
der why sensible man should try such
an experiment at all. He simply
proposed to give two meals a day to all who
chose to apply-all the bread and soup and
coffee one could want, and not cent to pay.
We need not wonder that though but seven
teen applied the first day, the number gradu-
ally increased till one day $500 came, and Mr..
Keyser put up his shutters, after piteous ap-
peal to the public to come forward and help
him 1t was much the same as If thriftless
housewife should splash milk and sugar over
the kitchen floor in June and then wonder
why the flies were bad; for is 1t not one OF
the best proved facts in nature that every
organization multiplies in the exact ratio OF
the increase of its food and the decrease Of
its enemies, and that as careless giving in
creases careless paupers increase faster still,
and SO the net result is an increase Of misery!
To put it mathematically, double the food
for tramps and the number of tramps will
nearly treble, 70 there is twice as much mis-
cry as before.

City of New York, by Mr.. Charles ID. kel-
logg, its secretary, Mr.. A. F. Schauifler and
others published protest against Mr..
Keyser's scheme, which really was not nee
essary, as moned men are not going to sup
port such things as free restaurants; but it
almost broke Mr. Keyser's heart. Once he
was wealthy, and it is little wonder that he is
not rich now when one hears his own ac-
count. He is thin, odd but kindly faced
old man looking wonderfully like q
"gaunted" Santa Claus. Speaking mourn
fully of the hard lines his charity had met,

Louis Masquerier, who built his own monu-

age of IS, at his home at Greenpoint, l.. /.
He resided there for nearly fifty years.
Forty years ago he was the center OF q
group Of land reformers. His idea was to
divide the earth into equal parts, allotting a
part to each family, carrying his scheme to
such minute detail that the divisions Of tho
plots, the site of each building upon them
and the plan Of the house was established.
The house in which Masquerier lived is
such as was ordinarily built half century
ago, and is now hemmed in by brick resi-
dences. In room upstairs the old man used

In the Mosaic religion thoughtfulness of the
poor and unfortunate is prominent feature
which finds expression especially on festive
occasions.
These festivals were great aid to the poor
and needy. This class of people had free ac-
cess to all their entertainments. We read of
a large number of animals that were offered
in sacrifice on such occasions, and we are
apt to think that there was great waste;
but very small part of these animals were
burnt up; and what was burnt was much of
it unfit for food. Most of the flesh of these
animals was eaten by the people; and lib
eral exercise of charity was expected on such
occasions. Hence the people are told that
they must not appear before the LORD empty;
but each must give according to his ability;
and no doubt the poor took home with them
a liberal supply of good things furnished on
such occasions, and had abundant reasons
to bless GoD, and the good people whom GOD
had blessed, for these favors.-W. b. Man
len, d. d., "Digest of the Mosaic Code,"
VOL iii. of "Biblical Review"
A MEMORIAL The name of this festival
was derived from the circumstance that the
people were here required to dwell during its
continuance in booths, or huts, constructed
in later times, certainly, with the branches
of trees and shrubs. This was to remind
them of their history, and the protection of
GoD, when he delivered them from Egyptian
bondage and caused them to dwell in taberna-
Giles, tents, or booths, ID the wilderness. This
memorial was appointed in order that, in the
land "wherein they ate bread without scarce
ness, and lacked nothing, where they built
goodly houses and dwelt therein, where their
herds and focks, their silver and their gold,
and all they had, multiplied" deuteronomy
viii. 8, ~, 1877, they might not say in their
hearts, "My power, and the might of my
hand hath gotten me this wealth." but might
rememb or that JEHOVAH was their GoD, who
gave them power to get wealth, that so their
heart might not "be lifted up and forget
their GoD who had led them out of Egypt,
the house of bondage" Our modern vaca-
ton represents somewhat the manner of liv-
ing at the Feast of Tabernacles. May the
thankful, religious spirit of the ancient fes-
tival be perpetuated by those who are privi-
legged to spend their vacations pleasantly in
leafy bowers and with joyful companions!
Forms may change, but the spirit of religion
is ever the same, and the human heart has
always the same needs and the same Divine
supply. 1t is sin the taber aac es of the right
eous' only that "the voice of rel ncing and
salvation" is genuine and appropriate.

GERTRUDE DAVIS.

in Greenwood, Steubeu ,unty, N. Y, June
49, Gertrude, daughter of Mrs. Laura A, and
the late John Davis, ESQ.,. aged twenty lone
years. Miss Davis graduated with honor at
Fort Flain, Clinton Liberal Institute, and was
going forward with extra studies till disease
laid it's hand upon her, and brought this great
sorrow upon her home and friends. Every
effort was used, with the tenderest, unremit-
ting care, for her recovery. all in vain. But
as the body wasted her spirit rose to the
heights of divine trust. Her mind had been
nurtured in the grace of God so that she grew
bright in clearest views of the new life. She
talked freely of the change drawing nigh, and
was the strong one when she came down to
deaths door. Pressing the physician, who
was watching the failing pulse, for an answer
to the question, IAN not dying?' he replied,
+" 1 am afraid you are" Then bidding each
good by, she said to her dear mother: - How
soon l shall be with father, who will he so
long" She had been a great sufferer, but al
ways patient. With true heart and genial,
social traits, there was a sweetness of spirit
and attractiveness of intercourse with her
friends, and such clinging love for her moth
er, sister. brothers and school companions,
that her memory will be a treasure to all of
them May they realize that she has not been
laid in the grave; but as the new grain is not
in the old husk, she is in the new life a risen
child of Gods love, to remain theirs as well.
