If politeneSs really be, as has been
said, the art of listening with interest
to something you know all about told
by some one who knows nothing of it,
then. our little distich holds the essence
of politeness in its plain phraseology,
which bids us Shun all that is uninter-

heavily tax their power of endurance.

perceive the richness and variety of

Evidence in the Borden murder case
Wednesday was decidedly favorable to
the defendant. The prosecution has en-
deayored to prove that she tried to pUr-
chase poison with the intention, pre-
sumably, of giving it to her father and
mother. An examination has shown
that their stomachs contained no poison
ard the expert witness gave other teS-
timony that plays havoc with the cir
cunstantial evidence in the case.
This country should have foreign
coaling stations, not so much for sup
plying our own war steamers as for
supplying foreign merchant steamers.
The most profitable coal yard in the
world is the bay of Gibraltar, which is
mOnOpoliZed by the British, and at
which every steamer passing i'll and out
of the Mediterranean is obliged to Oh
tain its supply of coal for generating
steam and for other purposes The
commerce of the ocean will soon be
nearly all carried in steamers, and the
amount of coal they viii require will be
enormous. The United States has more
coal than all otncr counties combined,
but no effort has been made to dispose
of it to steamers which do not enter our
foreign coaling stations.

The Approach OF Death.

Although l am neither a scholar,
philosopher, theologian nor prophet,
but merely an ordinary every day
citizen, with no qualifications to take
issue with so distinguished and
learned gentleman, it was with
considerable surprise that l read the
account of the sermon by Bishop
Fowler in st. James NJ. E. church
on last Sunday.
That the action of these people in
leaving the church is to be comm and
ed do not say, although q person of
nervous temperament would prUbsb.
ly find it difficult 10 remain calm
during such display OF fervid rheto-
rie after having recently suffered the
loss of one near and dear to them.
The surprising thing to me is that
90 eminent scholar should take such
= view of the question. True, even to
the average believer, the thought OF
the approach of the last hour causes
q shudder, and to see their friends go
out, as it seems, into the darkness is
almost more than they cali bear. But
that person Of deep religious feeling
and q profound thinker should take
so superficial view of the coming of
the so-called grim monster Death Is
to me unaccountable.
That death shonld be regarded as
something so be dreaded-something
horrible by the indifferent or un-
believing is not strange. But why
any christian mau or woman should
so picture it, lie as said, uDaccount-
able 1t has always seemed to me
that quite the opposite view should
De taken. Surely nothing is more
natural than death. and to those who
ale really sincere in their belief the
thought of going to their future home
where the many mansions are await.
ing their occupancy, ought to fill
them with glsdDess, and the open
grave should seem q welcome rest
ing place after life's battle has been
fought.
Therefore my advice, as an humble
layman, TO Bishop Fowler would be
that hereafter, instead of picturiDg
death as approaching the home in
the guise OF q horrible skeleton, with
grinning skull and gleeiully watch
ing for the last breath, he should
present the vision of numerous angelic
forms lowering round the sick bed,
pouring words of comfort into the
ears of those who hope that the hour
is not yet come, and go filling the
room with sunshine rather than
shadow.
Then the tears of sorrow and OF
joy will commingle and the vision
will be clarified rather than blinded
ny the flow, and the sight Of angelic
forms bearing aloft the beloved Will
create a longing for the time of the
glad reunion on the other side OF Jor-
dan.
There is no death: what seems so is
transition,
This life of mortal breath
Is but suburb of life Elysian,
Whose portal we call Death.
