a Vegetarian Church.

A vegetarian church is to be estab-
lished in Philadelphia. One of the fun.
damental principlesof the church will
be that life is sacred, and that therefore
the shedding OF blood, even though 1t
be for the sake Of providing food for the
human race, is wrong, But the vegeta-
rians don't follow out their own princi-
pies. In the eyes OF the scientists there
is no appreciable difference between
plant life and animal life. The only
objection that vegetarians have TO the
shedding OF blood is that 1t terminates
a life, but from the scientific point Of
view they terminate life every tine
they eat potato or turpip. Nor are
they competent TO say that one sort
OF life is more inviolable than another
sort. Animal life is more highly organ
lied, IL is true, and therefore its sensa-
tions are better understood by human
beings, but for aught we know the kill
ing OF q vegetable may be to 1t as much
OF tragedy as the killing Of an animal
Is TO It, II is very convenient to make
arbitrary distinctions between the diff
ferent forms Of life, but 1t is neither
scientific nor logical.

cred him into the presence Of her IA
ther, who sat in cheerful parlor read
ing book. Mrs. Deering and little
boy were present, and 1t was evident
that the mother had been helping her
son with bis lessons. Russell was made
welcome, q few words OF general conver-
sation followed and then the two men
were left together.
Russell looked at Deering and dis
trusted him. That feeling was the first
OF which he had been conscious at sight
OF the man. Though he had found him
surrounded by every sign OF peace and
good will and moral rectitude In the
light OF that best evidence Of mans
respectability, happy home, Russell
could not repress uncharitable suspi-
cions. It was Deering's face which bore
false witness against him. II had no un-
usual feature, and It's general effect was
not uncomely, but 1t was face that dis
trusted itself. The eyes we're pale; they
had no light in them; they vailed the
mans thought, and there was o deep
line In tho center Of the brow, giving
the effect OF sullen discomfort.
But Russell, though he knew his own
conduct 10 be not above criticism, car
ried the utmost candor In his counte-
nance. He was man To inspire conf

The room was full Of pretty girls and
chatter in moment. Russell survived
the embarrassment of his presentation,
and even began to be considerably
amused by his position. He was sur
prised to find that there were only seven
girls, including Miss Ray. He had sup
posed that there we're fifty when they
first dawned upon his sight.
Suddenly, BY common impulse, tho
adorable half dozen rushed up to Miss
Ray and said with one voice: Have

Before the young man could reply

When Russell called at the house OF
the Rays again he was quickly made
aware that change had come upon the
daughter OF the millionaire. Nobody
could have failed to perceive that Alice
was OF moro sober and serious mind
than she had been before. The chair
which she had been occupying was sur
rounded by books Of an educational and
forbidding character, and though there
was suggestion that the young lady
had tired Of each in turn and had thrown
them all upon the floor, still their mere
presence was portentous.

said to me the other evening"" she be-

Russell wondered what 1t was and

continued.

for that?"
"Tndeed he had done nothing OF the
sort; and"
"And so 1t was an independent dis
covery OF your own. That was the
reason why you would not talk with me
except on frivolity. All, well; have
discovered it too"
"Miss Ray said Russell, solemnly,
"you are wholly mistaken. My style Of
conversation was due entirely to the
weakness and vacuity OF my mind. At

"Is-is 1t nice?" said Alice. with
some hesitancy.
"It Is highly interesting, a1dso large
ly speculative that the mere fact Of my
knowing next TO nothing about 1t will
not interfere with the discussion. You
remember, OF course, that in analytical
geometry, equations OF the second
degree involve two dimensions; Of the
third degree, three. We know them as
length, breadth and thickness. Now
then, an equation OF the fourth degree
should involve four, hence the ques.
tion naturally arises: What is the
fourth dimension?"
"I'm sure Idon't know" said Alice,

That is dimension, isn't it?"
Hardly, in geometrical sense. We
will suppose three axes intersecting

other place which they find convenient

He has been identified by the very per-

DR.. Briggs Trial.

New YORK. Aug. 15-Dr. Briggs is
making ready for his trial for heresy.
He will return from his trip abroad in
another month prepared for the October
meeting of the Presbytery, when the
trial is to begin. A complete set of
newspaper clippings in the case was re-
Gently sent him, and these are now
being arranged. DR.. Francis Brown,
professor of Hebrew at Union Seninery,
will return with DR.. Briggs to assist in
the defense. Some friends OF Union
Seminery express the belief that the
case of DR.. Briggs is to be dropped.
The categorical answers, they say, are
to be taken as sufficient proof of DR..
Briggs orthodoxy. This is improbable.
1t would seem that nothing but point
blank retraction of the address and its
appendix by its author can now stop
the trial for heresy. The mystery sur.
rounding the resignation of Directo,
Charles A. Dickey, of Union Seminery,
is not yet cleared away. One of the
board has officially denied that there
was resignation or that one was eve,
thought of by DR.. Dickey. Certain
directors including Dr.. Dickey himself,
unaware of this denial, made no secret
of the resignation. It WAS then ex.
planned in an off-hand way that the
director had changed his mind.

The Extension of Bonds.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15-Inquiry at
the treasury department develops the
fact that Secretary Fosters plan for
continuing the d per cent loan at per
cent, has SO far failed to meet with the
favor that was anticipated by its advo.
Gates. On the second of Jul y when the
offer was made to continue the II per
cent bonds at 2 per cent, there were out
standing SOL, 200, 900 in the 4 per cents,
of which 1913, 10000 were held by 900
national banks as basis for their circu-
lation.
Since then SIS, 100000 OF the bonds
have been continued. Of this amount
100000 came from private individ-
uals, and $4,000, 900 from 600 national
banks leaving SS,O00,O 900 A per cents in
the possession of 800 national banks, and
SIS, coo, 600 in the hands of individuals.
These bonds aggregating S23, 900, 600 in
order to be continued under the present
offer must be presented on or before
September 2. the date on which their
interest ceases.
Otherwise the secretary of the treas
ury must be prepared to redeem them
on presentation, or to make terms with
tie holders for an extension Of time at
the present rate of interest, viz: A per

treasury today, outside Of fractional
coin and deposits in national banks, is
