LITTLE GREAT MEN.

Jesus never mentioned any Of earth's
great men, so called, with words Of praise
There had been great conquerors before his
time, like Alexander the Great, but He never
alluded to them. There had been philoso-
pliers like Plato and Aristotle and Socrates,
but He never spoke Of them. Rich men
had received the notice of their fellowmen,
but he never mentioned one Of them by
name. None of those of whom human his
tory speaks most largely came in for word
of commendation from Him or from his
apostles in later years.
This should bid US pause and make us
stop and think whether our human judy
ments are not totally faulty. Have we not
put the seal of greatness where It does not
belong? In what respect is the world better
today for the existence of rich men like
Crnsus, Of conqucrors like Alexander, OF
philosophers like Plato, of authors like
Cicero?
What really valuable thing should we lose
had such men never existed? Gather all the
conqucrors of the world together, and say
whether they have been as useful to this
world as one John Bunyan or one John
Wesley. Put all your philosophical books
together, and declare whether they have ac-
complished as much for humanity as the
EpistIe of Paul to the Galatians. Match Bis
mark and Luther, and judge whether po'.
itician or preacher has the best Of 1t in the
long run. On the other hanI, il you blot
out Abraham. Joseph. Moses. David the
singer mot David the king) Elijah, Isaiah,
John the Baptist Paul, from human history.

ers as an advertisement for the rum and
other liquors VIII ich these dealers wish to en-

chiefs are admirably calculated to please the
fancy of the rude natives. In the centre Of
the handkerchief bottles are represented,
each bearing label of Fine old Jamaica

sends US this handkerchief, says that it was

his is the last church that you will ever
dedicate. May the God who comforted
Jacob the Patriarch, and Paul the aged,
make this house to you the gate of heaven;
and when, in your old days. you put on your
spectac!es to read tie hymn or the Scripture
lesson, may you get preparation for taat
land where you shall no more see through
a glass darkly. May the warm sunshine of
heaven thaw the snow off your foreheads!
Men in middle life, do you know that this Is
the place where you are going to get your
fatigues rested and your sorrows appeased
and your souls saved? Do you know that at
this altar your sons and daughters will take
upon themselves the vows Of the Christian,
and from this place you will carry out. some
of you, your precious deadp Between this
baptisrnal font and this communion table you
will have some of the tenderest of life's ex-
periences. God bless you, old and young and
middle aged. The money you have given to
this church to-day will be, hope, the best
financial investment you have ever made.
Your worldly investments may depend upon
the whims of the money market, or the hon
esty of business associates, but the money
you have given to the house Of the Lord shall
yield you large percentage, and declare eter-
nal dividends long after the monday sun
shall have gone out like spark from
snitten anvil and all the stars are dead.

What One Novel Can Cost.

1t was but recently that I happened to
be a party in transaction which gives
an idea of what it costs to run maga-
zine nowadays, writes E. w. Box. One
of the popular magazines wanted the
next novel of well-known author.
Several periodicals were bidding for it,
but finally it was secured by my editorial
friend for $40, OOO-this sum purchasing
only the serial rights. From the authors
home we went to the studio of an artist
who was to illustrate the story. 1t was
finally agreed that he would make fifteen
illustrations for the story at SlOc each.
Further than this I did not go into the
transaction except that the publisher OF
the magazine told me yesterday that he
would spend at least SIS, 900 in adver-
tising the story, "for," he said, "you
know, its no use having such thing un-
less you tell the public of it." 1t will
cost at least $3.50 for engraving each of
the fifteen illustrations to the story.
Thus, the total cost to this story to the
magazine is not less than S2S, $50.
There you have single story, and how
small portion of well-made magazine
is a piece of fiction nowadays Com

NIN A NINCTE.',

"Well, well, don't fret; I'll be there in q
minute
But, my friend. minute means good
deal, notwithstanding you affect to hold il
of no consequence. Did you ever stop to
think what may happen in minute! No.
Well, while you are numbering minute
for yourself and one for me. before you get
ready to sit down to the business we have In
hand / will amuse YOU by telling you some
things that will happen meantime.
In minute we shall be whrlcd around
on the outside of the earth by its dillrnal
motion a distance Of thirteen miles. At the
same time we shall have gone along with
the earth, in its grand journey around the
sun, 1890 miles. Pretty quick travelling. you
say? Why that is slow work compared with
the rate Of travel of the light which just now
reflected from that mirror, made you wink,
A minute ago that ray was II, 100000 miles
away.
In minute, all over the world, about
eighty newborn infants have each raised a
wall Of protest at the fates for thrusting ex-
istence upon them, while as many more
human beings, weary with the struggles OF
life, have opened their lips to utter their
last sigh.
In minute the lowest sound your ear can
catch has been made by $50 vibrations. while
the highest tone reached you after making
2,22S, 900 vibrations.
