An Obstinate SDanfard.

General <, an old officer O.
Spain, had o daughter who fell in love
with her fathers adjutant. There was
no good reason against the match, but
the general refused his consent, and the
pair married without it.
From the hour of their marriage he
would not recognize their existence.
The son-in-law and the father fought
side by side in several battles. But
neither recognized the other.
at last the adjutant SO distinguished
himself that his friends pressed the
general to apply for his son-in-law's
promotion.
''Son-in-lawl I have none!" he re-

In 1896 the French institute prornul

elapsed since then every one Of these
eighty theories have been cast as rub
fish into the yyz4stebasket Of the scieu-
tidc world, and the old Book is q
mightier power today in the history Of
the world than ever.
The truth IS that It's eternal princi-
pies belong to the Utmost secrets Or

outliye it or outgrow it.

As A. c. Wheeler beautifully said
some years ago: at IL Of little account

selfshness man may get fxe1, If the an
them tones Of those grand old sentences
sweep back to him from lips that prayed
over him in his cradle or surged up on
the tide Of memory from the cathedral,
the synagogue or the convertible.
Its phraseolOgy has caught new
diapason from the events it helped to as
SAUCE.
1.-The most of its old periods were set
by sorrow and suffering to 3 music Of
their own.
They vibrate for myriads of people
with the significance Of event. Their
liturgical cadences have come down
through the ages wet with the tears and
winged with the triumphs Of fervor and
of faith.
"They belong to the rhythm of the soul
no less than to the reason Of the race,
and heavy with the passion of life and
the mystery of death they are like eternal
hills in which lie hidden the echoes Of
our youth"
So long as this Book can thus sweep
the soul of man it is idle to talk Of q
world outgrowing it. Until the world
can outgrow its own heart, until man
can forget to love and suffer and think.
no cannot outgroW the Book. To over
turn it you had az well try to push back
the sun by placing your shoulder against
The great blazing ball Of the heavens. /
You had as well try to put out the stars
by pitching straws at them. The grass
the flower fadeth, bat the
word Of the Lord shall endure forever."

One of the Trials of Being a Subject.

ohe OF the Trials Of Being a Subject
That the general mourning edict is
sued by the English queen is a trial to
some not of the court circles is shown
by the perenptory answers in the cor
respondents columns of the English peri
odicals devoted to social and fashionable
interests. "Wear black wherever Won
are st would be the worst possible
taste to appear in colors;" 1.-THE we'd
ding need not be postponed, but black
should be worn except, Of course. by
the altar party, bride and bridesmaids. !"
and so on.
Americans cannot help sympathizing
with the struggling uncertainty which
prompts these questions. 1t is all verv
well to share a prominent family's grief
and to show respect for the death of an
officially high parsonage, but when in
convenience, expense and serious de
rangement of plans are imposed upon
households in no way connected with
the bereaved one, except by political al
leg1ance, sympathy seems to have gone
further than there is any necessity for.
