when the latter was leaving the Elysee palace
to attend the centenary celebration at Yer
sailles Perrin was promptly arrested. He
was taken to police station, where he made
statement concerning his act He explained
that he had no desire to kill the president; he
merely wished to expose the fact that he per
RIM was the victim of injustice. The crowd
that had gathered in the neighborhood of the
Elysee to witness the departure of the presi-
dent became greatly excited, and threatened
to lynch the prisoner. The police, however.
gathered in force and drove back the indignant
citizens.

The Boulangists sneer at the affair and assert
that 1T was concocted by the president and his
friends to win sympathy with their clique as
against the national party.
Despite the assertions of the police that only
a blank cartridge was fired, it is believed that
the pistol was loaded with a bullet and Presi-

FelOns.

An uncredited current paragraph
mentions woman who endured the
torture of three felons and finally dis
covered the lemon cure: "Just as soon
as | suspect that have felon coming
(you know it feels just as if there was
splinter there, only there isn'D, cut a
lemon in two and put the sore finger
into it. When the lemon gets hot and
Shiny, take another piece, and keep
doing so until the felon is cured. If
you take it in the beginning it can
sometimes be cured in a night, but
often it takes longer. The lemon
makes the finger ache, but it kills the
felon every time"

Our Echo.

You remember the story o. the boy
who went out in the woods and cried
out, " Hello!" and echo said " Hello"
The boy got mad, thought he was being
made fun Of, and he said, - hate
you.n Echo said, " hate you!" His
anger increased, and he cried out, " I'll
hit YOU'D Again Echo says, "I'll hit
you" The little fellow, indignant,
went into the house and told his mother
that boy out in the woods was going
to hit him, and that he hated him, and
so on. The mother saw the secret, and
said to him, " Now, my son, if you will
go out into the woods and cry out, |
love you,' you will find that the boy
will say he loves you" So out he went
and said, 81 love you" and Echo i'm
mediately replied, II love YOU"
When we go out into the church, into
The world, with this life of love in us,
producing harmony of all our faculties,
we can project into our environments
or circumstances this life of love. and
by it make men love us and beget in
the lives of men this life of love.

What Congress Costs.

The American people have learned
that many things " come high, but we
must have Them" and one of these is
good government. 1t is a comfort,
however, to know that though some of
these items may seem eXtravagant,
good government, all things considered,
comes cheaper than bad government
There are just 40l members of the
house and of the senate, and to wait
upon them and run errands and hold
open the doors as they pass in and out,
and carry the cards of their callers,
and take care of the thousands of bills
they put in, they have employed about
400 people, who are paid the snug little
sum of 1854 900 for doing so. Every
member has one employe, and for the
service of the same there is paid an
average of about 81 800 each. A total
of $780, is required to pay the sala-
ries of the senators, and for the com
pensation of the members of the house
81 ,695 900 is to be provided, and this
brings the salaries of our national law
makers to total of over 81, 000, 900 per
year. 1t costs little less than $3.50, 000
per session to pay the mileage of the
members, and the country pays $50, 000
t. purchase the stationery for members
and officers of the house alone in any
one session. The treasury pays S52, 900
for reporting the debates, whether con-
gress sits for one month or for twelve.
as the official reporters, like most of the
clerks, are paid by the year, though
they seldom do more than twelve

reaching only TO height of about three
or four feet, the consequence being,
that whilst man may walk upright
through the cave uninjured, yet if he
stoops or lies down in it, few seconds
will prove fatal. So, if you keep your
head up toward heaven, and above the
poisonous miasma that surrounds you.
you may walk uniniured through the
world; but if you rest in it and breathe
in it your very life is in peril. l do not
say that there is no hope for your soul
unless you read chapter and kneel
dow to prayer every morning at six or
seven and every evening about ten.
No; but do say that it is most import
ant that you should have fixed harits
of daily devotion and not allow any,
thing to interfere with the due culture
of your spiritual life. Come, now, be
honest; are not some of you prepared
to confess that, from the date of your
giving up regular seasons OF private
devotion, you have gone back spirit
ually and have lost the inward Joy and
glowing hope you once possessed? /
am not surprised you do not come TO
communion. Young man, tonight, it
may be, at your bedroom door, on the
third floor, you will think you hear a
gentle knock. "Come I'M" Ali there
is no one there but he who knocked at
Samuel's door and would not let him
sleep. 1t is Jesus, the young mans
friend, saying, :" Wilt thou forget me?
Wilt thou cast off thy Savior?" Rise,
brother, and take your Bible out of the
trunk if it is still slowed away. Down
upon your knees and say, My fathers
God, my mothers God, thou shalt be
my God, too; henceforth / will live for
thee and openly confess thee. What
doth hinder me to join myself unto
thy people?'-J. Than DaridSon, I'D
