'Off with his headr' said the Chinese
government when one of its diplomatic
corps had been found swindling and de-
frauding tradespeople in Paris, and
banking on the fact that he was an off,
cial representative of his country, and
SO poor Tcheng-Ki-Tong suffered the ex-
treme penalty because he did not pay his
debts. And yet we call the Chinese a
half civilized nation! Suppose all the
high officials among western nations
who do not pay their debts had to have
their heads cut off! What brisk ex-
animation business the civil service COM
missions would have on their hands!

Growing Healthier and Happier.

OrOW1nS dealCn1er ana Happier.
In this dreary time Of painful toll.
struggle and unsatisfed longing every
thing that tends to cheerful and optimis-
tic views of life ought to be welcomed
and made the most of. It is with salts
faction, therefore, that we read in the
Popular Science Monthly the paper Of
Mrs. e. NJ plunkett showing some of
the advance1nents in sanitary and social
science that have been made in the past
century Her article is entitled "Our
Grandfathers Died Too Young"
The first and strongest proof that life,
for example. was growing longer, was
given in a curious bit Of evidence that
touched the pocket, and therefore could
not be contrc"erted. Something over a
hundred and fifty years ago, when the
English government was hard up for
money, the authorities established the
system Of life annuities. For a certain
specified lump sum paid into its treasury
the government agreed to give in return
a regular fixed annual income as interest
on the money. At the end Of the life Of
the person the annuity ceased and the
government became the owner out and
out of the money. This system went on
for more than century, when about
1925 it was discovered that the average
of life was so much longer than it had
been that England was losing money
steadily on the investment, and the life
new basis.
The Roman average of life was thirty
years. But in Geneva, Switzerland, the
only city in which vital statistics have
been properly kept since as far. back as
1851, it was found that fifty years ago
the average length of life in that city
was over forty five years. Now, SO great
has been the advancement that Sir Ed
win Chadwick, the father Of modern
sanitation, declared that man should
now live, on the avarage, a century, and
he himself ezelnpliied his theory by dy-
ing last July at the age Of ninety.
The causes enumerated for this length
ening of life are better and more abun-
dant food, less murder and violent crime,
and finally sanitation in general, partic-
ularly vaccination and ventilation.
Deaths in London alone in the Eight
eenth century amounted to almost 20O,-
900 from smallpox. In New York city,
in 1878, in population of 100000,
there were only fourteen cases of small
pox-thanks to vaccination.

A CITY in Ninety DayS.

1t would scarcely be thought of out
side of America. We are informed,
however, that a number Of capitalists,
eastern and western, are preparing a
grand coup which shall plant in three
months time full fedged city Of say
10000 inhabitants, with all the modern
improvements, even to a baseball club,
somewhere on the shore Of Puget Sound
It has long been known that there are
some wonderful harbors on the shores of
that vast undeveloped region known as
Puget Sound. At one place, Port Gard
iner, the water is claimed to be 500 feet
deep. The capitalists who propose to
build the city have concluded there is
lumber enough in the forests of this re-
gion to supply the worlds wants for a
hundred years. In the edge of this great
wooded country they will build their
city. It is expected to be located on the
sound at {. point within hundred miles
of Seattle.
Machinery for erecting mills and fac
tories will be on the spot soon, ground
will be broken, and the work will begin.
Among other industries expected to BIOS
som here are steel barge shop and
yards, paper mill, machine shop, ship
yards, and perhaps a sugar refinery.
There is certain to be at some time in
the future great Pacific port, which
will be to that side of the country what

"A heap of ashes and pair of hand

latest of the Louisiana lynchings. The
horror of the thing is such that one

Hand Him Down to Fame,

England has hardly yet recovered it's
breath from the shock it received at the
audacity Of the common juryman who
stood up in his box and said in plain En-
glish to the Prince Of Wales, "Are the jury
to understand that you were banking on
these two occasions and saw nothing Of
the alleged malpractices?" We read
thereupon that Albert Edward ''glow-
ered.' At first he did not reply, then
changed his mind apparently, and an
swered quite good naturedly. His well
known good temper came to his rescue
just in time.
But that honest juryman must be i'm
mortalized We must know all about
him-good, honest Briton that he is. Sir
Edward Clarke had handled the royal
witness with gloves. Even rip roaring
Sir Charles Russell had on this occasion
roared as gently as sucking dove. But
that juryman redeemed the British nation
from the toadyism of the hour. He is
the nerviest man in all Europe. We want
his name, his antecedents, his history.
He ought to come to America and lect-
ure. He could gather in more gold
than Stanley did. He will be unique
in story as the man who stood up in
his place in the jury box and cross ques-
toned the heir to the throne of the Brit
ish empire. In eastern countries his
head would have been off in less than
twenty-four hours. In western countries
he has simply made his enduring fame

Good news again from aluminium. A
company now announces that it viii act
ually put the splendid metal of the fut.
ure on the market at fifty cents pound,
and that unlimited quantities will be
turned out and sold. If aluminium does
all that is claimed for it the present
generation may well be thankful that
they have lived to see this day. Within
a few years the price of aluminium has
declined from twenty dollars a pound tc
the fifty cents which we are told is now
to be the ruling rate.

The Presbyterian Theology.

The Presbyterian Theology.
Those who are so settled in their reG-
gious beliefs on the one hand, and those
who have no belief at all on the other,
can have little idea of the fierce conflicts
that tear the breasts Of many noble and
devout Presbyterians at this time. Only
those can understand who have in spite
of themselves been dragged step by step
through terrible mental contests in
changing their religious views. There is
no mental conflict so fierce and terrible
as this. There is no dissension so heated
and bitter, none that engenders such
fury Of rage and hate as those that
grow out of creed differences. Witness
the Spanish inquisition, the thirty years
war in Europe, the expulsion of the
Moors from Spain, the war on the Jews
in Russia at the present day.
It is not strange, therefore, that an
guish, strife and heart burning such as
have never been known before in the
peaceful Presbyterian fold have grown
out Of the expulsion of DR.. Briggs from
his chair as Biblical professor in Union
Theological seminary. For the first
time the general assembly has exercised
its veto power.
Already this terrible strife has result
ed in the death of two of the ablest men
in the church. Dr. Vandyke died soon
after his appointment to professorship
in the Union Theological seminary from
which DR.. Briggs had been dismissed.
Speaking in the general assembly of his
death, Rev. DR.. Dickey said with all
solemnity: II believe DR.. Vandyke has
gone out of the excitement of this hour.
God only knows who more may go that
carry it upon their heart as he carried it. =
The utterance was a fatal prophecy.
The same day, few hours later, Judge
Brec6nridge dropped dead in the assem-
bly, itself, just after finishing his speech
against Dr.. Briggs. He was able to
close his speech with the words: II have
discharged my duty faithfully. l ask
you to excuse me from further He
staggered, sank to the floor, and in a
few moments this able jurist and con-
scientious Presbyterian was dead. he
too bad .'gone out Of the excitement of
this hour" And there seems to be no
abatement of the excitement. Others
TOO may go before it is settled

When you go to Germany be careful
how you whistle. A luckless wretch
was heavily fined not long since for
whist1ing the 'sMarseillaise' in the streets
of a town in Lorraine. It was consid-
cred an insult to the German govern
ment. Probably if an unterri6ed Yankee
should whistle the ''Star Spangled Ban
ner" in Hamburg he would be looked on
as the American hog defying the German
emperor.
