The Chinese are essentially initiative. If

vastly improved. A teacher in Chinese

The PuIpit's Danger.

Is there any danger that the pulpit may
grow too learned to be useful Is it posi-
BILE that the ordained may swamp salvation
in science? 1t is already inclined to forget
the better language, for its purpose, of the
Bedford tinker, that it may appear wise in
the polysyllables ofthe dead vocabularies and
appease the mock appetite of a few snobs in
the pew for something scholarly and refined
There are symptoms of such sickness in the
clerical family. Any thoughtful man who
has visited variety of churches in his Sab
bath rounds, must recognize that the more
fashionable churches, the Sabbath resorts
of aristocracy of several sorts, are those
wherein are preached the bric-a-brac of
antiquity, the mythologies of Greece and
Rome, the flowers of history, dash of anti
biblical science, doubtful, disturbing philo-
sophy and uninspired filings at "old-fogy"
Christians who can't find anything more COM
Portable to their souls than to be as othodox
as their fathers and follow the simple Word
of God. Many of these things are pleasant
and profitable at the right time and place. but
they are not embraced in the Masters COM
mission to preach the Gospel; they are not
cartridges charged with conversion. Nor do
they even convert anybody; they are mere
pastimes, Sabbath amusements.

Legends of the Flying Dutchmen.

An unbelieving Dutch captain had vainly
tried to round Cape Horn mot Good Hope
against head gale. lie swore he would do
it, and when the storm increased, laughed at
the fears of his crew, smoked his pipe and
drank his beer, even throwing overheard
some of the men who tried to make him put
the ship about. The Holy Ghost descended
on the deck but he fired pistol at it, where
upon his arm became paralyzed. Then he
cursed God and was Immediately condemn
ed by the apparition to navigate always
without putting into port, always on the
watch, and with nothing but gall to drink
and red-hot iron to eat. He was to be the
evil genius of the sea, to torment and punish
sailors, and to carry warning OF l-fortune to
the luckless mariner. 1t is he who sends the
white squalls and sudden tempests. If he
visits ship all the wine and beer turns
sour and all the food becomes beans, which
sailors hate Nothing must be taken from
his hand, for the person who touches any
thing he has touched is lost. His ship is
manned by all the old sinners of the sea,
thieves, murderers, pirates and towards, who
eternally toll and have little to eat and drink.
Thus the phantom ship is the purgatory of
the wicked mariner.
A phantom ship is known to Baltic sailors
as the "Carmilhan" and the captain of her is
called Klabotermann. This ship, also, is al
ways trying without success to double the
cape; and when sailors see her, with Klabo-
termann sitting on the bowsprit, dressed in
yellow, wearing night cap, and smoking a
short pipe, they know that their vessel is
doomed.
1t is curious that almost all the spectral
heroes of these legends-at least the most
popular of them are Dutchmen. But the
fact seems to be that the legend is German
in its origin, and has become attached in
sailor yarns to Dutchmen either because, to
Jack, Dutchman and Deutscher were the
same thing or because the Dutch. were the
most famous and daring of navigators.
The German story is given by different
authorities with variations, but briefly it is
this: A Baron called Falkenberg murdered
his brother and his bride in fit of passion
ate jealousy, and went forth from his home
should for evermore wander toward the
north. At the seashore he found a boat
awaiting him with one man in it who simply
said: "Expectamus te." Falkenberg enter
ed the boat and was conveyed to spectral
bark lying in the harbor. On board that
ship he still plows the northern seas,
forever playing dice with the spectral crew
for his soul. The ship is painted gray, has
colored sails, a white flag, and flames issue
from her masthead at night-so that she is
easily ide ntified by any vessel that may hap
pen to speak" her. For 600 years this spec
trail bark has roamed the German ocean, and
is still, it is said in the German story, to be
seen always heading northward, without
helm or helmsmau

Testing Its Hearing.

A pathetic anecdote is told of the Countess
of Orkney, who was deaf and dumb. Short
ly after the birth of her first child, the nurse
saw the mother cautiously approach the era
die n which the infant was sleeping.
The countess, having perfectly assured her
self that the child really slept, took out a
large stone which she had concealed under
her shawl, and to the horror of the nurse,
who, like all persons of the lower order in
her country, indeed, in most countries, was
fully impressed with an idea of the peculiar
cunning and malignity of "dumbies," raised
it with an intent to fling it down vehement
ly.
Before the nurse could interpose the count
ess had flung the stone; not, however, as the
servant had apprehended, at the child, but on
the floor, where, of course, it made great
noise. The child Immediately awoke and
cried.
The countess, who had looked on with ma
ternal eagerness to the result of her expert
ment, fell on her knees in a transport of joy.
She had discovered that her child possessed
the sense of hearing which was wanting in

Likeness between Husband and Wife.

The Photographic Society OF Geneva,
Switzerland, has been putting to proof what
Psychologists have long ascertained, and what
many of us had occasion 10 observe, namely,
that there often comes to be between hus-
band and wife who have lived together for
many years closely and alphabetically, a
marked resemblance in features. The photo,
graphs of seventy-eight couples were taken
by this society, and close comparison estab-
lished the fact that in twenty-four cases the
resemblance was so marked as to be greater
than that between brother and sister, and in
thirty cases the resemblance was as great as
the family resemblance. Though never be-
fore reduced to the exactness of figures this
fact is one that has long been observed of not
understanded of the people. There are few
of US who do not know such cases. The
causes would probably be variously assigned
| by persons of different schools of thought
The materialist would find sufficient ex.
planatian in their being subject to the
same conditions of life. The idealist
would insist upon the potency OF
the spiritual sympathy between them in
bringing about, in that strange way the soul
has of moulding the body, the physical like
ness. At any rate, 1t is not to be disputed

Easily Repaired.

A widow whose husband had lost his life
in railway accident, received from the
company 10000 francs by way of compensa-
ton. Shortly afterwards she heard that q
traveller who had lost his leg on the same
occasion had been paid 10000 francs. The
widow at once put on her bonnet and shawl,
and trotted off to the Offices of the company.
gentlemen, how lie this? ?" she said. "Here
you give 10000 francs for a leg, and you have
only allowed me 10000 for the loss of my
husband"
Madame" replied one of the clerks, "the
reason is quite plain; 10000 francs won't
provide the poor man with new leg, but q
young lady with charms such as you possess
can any day, for 10000 francs, get another
husband, perhaps better one" -'
1t is stated that the lady, after moments
silent reflection. walked away apparently
