they do not get the direct light of the

Finally the resolutions was referred to
the committee on rules and the senate

The liberal Drifi OF Religious Thought
The drift Of modern Thought, us any
one can discover in our current litera-
ture, in newspapers, magazines and re-
views, is not anti-reigiOus. but the re-
verse. That the drift is aiih-ecclesias-
teal and anti-dogmatc is equally oeg-
tain. The pulpit has almost abandoned
polemio utterances. Scores and hum
dreds OF churches would not endure
them. They were once the fashion, and
public debates ON the rites and doctrines
Of opposing sects were in high favor.
We have outgrown all that The change
is partly due TO social aud commercial
causes. The Calvinist has fallen in love
with the Methodist, and has not found
the heresy to be very pernicious. The
Trinitarian has entered into partnership
with the Unitarian, aud discovered the
latter to be the soul of honor.
Impatience with dogma is not neces-
sarily the reputation of doctrine. The
truest reason may break with the logi-
cal refinements Of the schools. The anti
dogmatic drift Of our time does not i'm
press me as antagonizing intelligence in
religion, as hostile to analysis, defini-
ton and systematic arrangement, but
as intent upon calling a halt upon spec,
ulative audacity, and insisting that the
ology, like science and philosophy, shall
deal only with what can be accurately
known. It demands the rigid appica-
ton of the Baconian method, in which
facts are the groundwork Of theory. 1t
demands a simpler creed, but it wants
creed, and it would repudiate any creed
which lacked the quality of comprehen-
sion. The time has come when it should
be freely recognized that modern crit-
cism is at heart reverent and Christian,
not fippant, atheistic and anti-Chris-
tian.
How serious, then, is the breach be-
tween modern culture and current or
thodoxyl To me, at least, it seems to be
a thin and vanishing line; and the hope
Of a coalescence in the near future ap-
pears to me well founded. 1t cannot be
otherwise. For reason seeks the truth,
and all truth is sacred, binding upon
human conduct; while Christianity is
the religion Of holiness, and the germi-
nant energy in holiness is ve1acity, a
truth seeking, truth loving, truth com
pelling temper, Rev. DR.. Behrends in

The Care of the Fnos.

You want to keep your skin nice all
summer? Wen, then, here are some
rules for you:
Don't bathe in hard water; soften it
with a few drops of ammonia or e little
borax.
Don't batho your face while it is very
warm, and never use very cold water
for it.
Don't wash your face when you are
travelling, unless it ia with little alco-
hol and water or a little vaselipe.
Don't attempt to remove dust with
cold water; give your face a hot bath,
using plenty OF good soap then give it a
thorough rinsing with water that has
had the chill taken off it.
Don'trub your face with coarse towel;
just remember it Is not made of cast
iron, and treat il as you would the finest
porcelain-gentlya and delicately.
Don't use sponge or linen rag for
your face; choose instead a flannel one.
Don't believe you can get rid of wrin-
kles by filing in the crevices with pow
der. Instead, give your face a Russian
bath every night-that Is, bathe 1t with
water so hot that you wonder how you
can stand it, and then a minute after
with cold water that will make it glow
with warmth; dry it with a soft towel
and go TO bed, and you ought to sleep
like baby, while your skin is growing
fi1ner and becoming free from wrinkles,

Thou canst not know that in my heart which
waits the touch Of word
The music in llfe's silences thy souls hand leaves
unstirred
'ris there feel &c oftentmes, when not O soul is
nigh,
Thrilling along HES hidden chords. unseen by
dust dimmed eye.
The silent music OF each life doth wait the artists
hand;
Awhole life fun waits to respond to all who under
standl
AS in an untouched instrument the world Of music
lives,
Or, played upon by countless hands, retains more
than IL gives.
SO, hidden IN the silences Of every human soul,
Tho much is given out In word doth still abide
the whole;
And only he who has the pow'r to read between
the lines
Those spaces 'twixt the motive and the outward
given signs
Can hear the music of that life akin unto his
own;
Tho 1t to others mnfiled be- he hears the undor'
tone.
The silent side--the waiting side-eac fears tc
give It voice
For fear the other cannot hear for earth's dis
tracing noise.
But, oh, there is a hand, by both It's now unseen
Which lovingly doth them unite. tho mist may
hang between;
They feel together and the heart doth clear trans
late the word
Which others do not understand. love has the
meaning heard

Once Too often.

A foolish young fellow at Albany,
while riding in an electric car took a
costly gold watch out of his pocket, and
just for the purpose of showing that be
"dared" do it, laid the timepiece on the
floor of the car, just over the motor. OF
course it became heavily charged with
the electric fluid and stopped. After it
had lain there perhaps ten seconds he
picked it up and it began running again.
Some one in the car remarked that it
might do it once, but it would not be a
safe experiment to try it very often. He
secuted the idea Of danger, and to show
that no harm could come to watch un-
der the circumstances he placed it upon
the hoer again, letting it remain min

each line was all but indecipherable- a
pain to himself and an evaporation TO
his audience. This gentleman was so

Newsnarers of the present.


No doubt the present tendency toward
trivialities and personalities will con-
tinue until private rights and public
morals are better protected by the laws,
and until the acme of size and profit in
newspapers has been reached. In the
race for expansion and power the leader
who has adopted the readiest means has
often imposed his methods upon men who
would choose the best means. The fault
of a lower tone here and there is not
properly chargeable to the great body Of
workers, for in the profession will be
found today a high average of ability
and conscientious performance Of duty;
and never before our time have news
papers been able to command the trained
intelligence and taste to enable them to
do all they are now doing for the develop
ment of art and literature. All that the
newspapers of today are doing for every
good cause, and notably at this moment
for that of good government. Capital
and financial success are of course essen
tial for the production of great mod
ern newspaper; but the public has a
right to demand that those who bear the
highest responsibilities of the profession
should issue newspapers which they, as
private individuals, would be willing to
indorse in every part as men of charac-
ter, refinement and self respect. .--Cen

Sioux, who alone can tell the true his

say that ON the hillock where Custer fell

fore-a curious plant with tall, slender
leaves, curved in the exact form OF a
saber, with edges so sharp as TO inhict
keen wounds upon unwary hands, and
those who pluck it once soon drop it, so
strangely cold and clammy are its
leaves 1t bears golden hued, heart
shaped blossom, and in the center is one
small spot of brilliant red, like drop Of

it, claiming that the blossom crushed in
the hand leaves blood red stain impos-
sible to remove. Republican.

To Prevent Accidents.

An arrangement for the prevention Of
accidents by the electric current has
been adopted at the works of the Nor
gan Engineering company of Alliance,
o. A board is fixed on the wall facing
the dynamo in the engine room. On this
board are six hooks ON the checks Of the
six men who IRE employed in looking
after the circuits. When a man is called
on duty he removes his check from the
hook and takes It with him. The engi-
neer sees by glance at the board that
one hook is absent, and that therefore
one man Is engaged about the lines
around the shop, and the dynamo is not
started until the check Is replaced on the
hook. The engineer then understands
that the coast is clear, and turns on his
current without fear of accident TO any
