times makes an erroneous decision be-
cause his eyes are not gifted with ON
niscience. Then, again, the spectators
are not all infallible. Some people
are cross-eyed, some are laboring under
undue excitement and liquor, and 9TH
ers are not well read in the literature
of the game. So there are mistakes
made on both sides. In Pittsburgh
and other towns, where the tough"
element is numerous and pre-eminent,
the umpire does his umpiring in little,
strongly built house, constructed some
what in the shape of q small-sized
Playhouse, capable of holding only
one man. After the umpire has made
his decision he retreats into his little
fort and awaits developments. When
the storm has subsidized he comes out
again to attend to the umpiring bust.

D. L. MOODY'S LIFE WORK.

1t Is to eliminate in Theological schoo
in Chicago.
There will soon be opened in Chicago
a theological school that will be unique
among contemporary institutions fol
religious training. It is to be called
the Bible Institute and is intended for
the education and practical training OF
evangelists. While in some outward
features it will resemble the theologic-
al seminary of the regulation type, as
conducted by all the Protestant demon
nations of the present day, in other
more essential points it will be anal
ogous to the schools of the prophets as
they are believed to have existed in
Old Testament time. It will be con-
Quoted under the auspices of the Chi
cago Evangelization Society. D. L..
Moody, the originator and propagation
OF the innovation, is also to be its Presi-
dent. Over $25O,OOO has been con-
tributed by wealthy friends of Mr..
Moody living in Chicago to build and
endow the Bible Institute.
The inception of the project is not
new. For at least fifteen years Mr..
Moody has had the desire to establish
such school. "Do the work of an
evangelist" has been the working motto
OF his life. In his view the evangelist's
work was not less essential or import
ant than that of the settled pastor and
preacher. But there were fewer to
understand it and fewer to make it q
success. Nor was there any school for
educating evangelistic workers, al
though there were many seminaries for
the fitting of young men for the regu-
lar ministry. This dam in the Chris
tian lines it became Mr.. Moody's am
bition to fill, but not until recently was
he able to interest the people and open
their purses to toward this scheme.
The important distinction between
this Bible institute and the ordinary
theological seminary is in the course Of
study. Instead of taking a Greek or
Hebrew testament for the textbook,
Mr.. Moody will take the English
Bible. Polemic theology, except so
much as may be considered essential
in combating assaults of infidels, will
be as far as possible relegated to the
background. The outline of study is
as follows:
~The doctrinal and practical teach
ings of the Bible will be the main sub
jects of study, together with its au-
thenticity and history. Christian
doctrine, sin, redemption, the person
and Offices of the Redeemer, justiica-
ton, faith, etc. English exegesis,
typology, elementary church history,
Christian evidences. and the study of
separate books of the Bible will form
an important part of the course Of
study. Some treatise on mental sci
ence will have q place in the curricu-
lum. The method of using the Bible in
dealing with inquirers will also receive
attention"
The full course of study will require
two years. A shorter course viii BIZ
arranged for one year.

 A. Carsner was at work in his store,
 his attention was attracted by some thing kicking Up a racket in the rear of the store. Going back to see what it was, he was confronted by q large coon, which had the in- prudence to walk right to him, as though 1t had no fearin it's heart. The coon was genuine specimen Of the ring-tailed species, and Mir. Carsner made q desperate effort to Capture his coonship, but all in vain, the animal proving too cum ninG and escaping through the rear door and running under the house.

Exciting Adventure Witt a Tiger.

I immediately raised my rife and fired twice, but, as ill-luck would have it, neither shot struck and in another second the tiger was on me and had thrown me down, his claws buried in my left should CT. I had no particular sensation of fear, and I remember thinking quite calmly us lay on the ground. the tigers hot breath coming against my face, It's all mp with me now But at that moment my faithful iit- tie Mungo came to the rescue. He bit the tigers tail so severely that the beast immediately released his hold and turned around 10 seize his new adversary. But Mungo was sharp and wary, and ran off in the tall grass in an instant. The tiger followed. but the dog had the ad- vantage over him, as it could run through the grass and under the brusllwood at a pace which the other could not keep up with. In fact it was almost cumical to see how the great creature bounded about in its useless chase after the dog. I knew that the tiger, disap- pointed in se:zing Mung0, would soon return to attack his master. so

Calm in the Face of Death.

A tradesman of Lyons, in France,
 of the name of Grivet, a man of
 mild and simple manners, was sen
 fenced during the French Revolu-
 tinn, with number of others, to
 die next morning. Those who were
 already in the cave pressed around
 the newcomer 10 syInpathize with , and to iortily him. But Grivet had
 no need of consolation; he was as calm as if he had been in his own
 house. Come and sup with us" said they; "this is the last inn in the journey of life; tomorrow we shall arrive at our long homo. Gri- vet accepted the invitation and SUD- ped heartily, Desirous to sleep as we'll, lie retired to tie remotcst cor ner of the cave, and, burying him. self in his straw, seemed not to be- stow a thought on his approaching fate.
 The morning arrived. The other prisoners were tied together and led away without Grivet's perceiving any thing or being perceived. Fast asleep, enveloped in his straw, he neither saw nor was seen. The door of the cave was locked, and when he awoke, awhile after, lie was III the utmost astonishment 10 find himself in perfect solitude. The day passed, and no new pris- oners were brought into the cave. The Judges did nol sit for two days. Grivet remained all this time in his solitude, subsisting on some scat tered provisions which he found in the cave, and sleeping every night with the same tranquility as on the first. On the evening of the fourth day the turnkey brought in a new nrisOmer, and became as one thuE- derstruck on seeing a man, or as he almost believed, spirit in the cave.
 He called the sentinel, who iG- stantly appeared. Who are you?",, said he to Grivet, ''and how came you here?" G:ivct answered that he had been there four days. Doubtless" he added, 'when my in misfortune were led away to death I slept and heard nothing, and no one thought 10 awaken me. It was my misfortune since ail would now have been past whereas I have now lived with the pros tct'of death always before me. the misfortune now will unduubI- edly be repaired and shall die"
 Grivet was summoned before the tribunal. He was interrogated anew. It was q moment oI leni- ency with the Judges, and he was set at liberty.- Philadelphia Press.
