The Date Of the Creation OF
Adam.

OF all who gave themselves up to
the chronological studies, the man
who exerted the most powerful influ.
ence upon the dominant nations oil
christendom was Archbishop Usher.
In 1850 he published his annals of
the ancient and new testaments, :"
and it ut once became the greatest
authority tor all English-speaking
peoples. Usher was u man oil deep
and wide theological learning, pow
erful in controversy; and his careful
conclusion, after years of the most
profound study of the Hebrew script
ures, was that man was created 1904
years before the christian era. His
verdict was widely received rs final;
his dates were inserted in the mar
gins of the authorized version OF the
English bible, and were soon prac-
tically regarded as equally inspired
with the sacred text itself; to gues-
ton them seriously was to risk pre-
ferment in the church and reputation
in the world at large.
The same adhesion to the Hebrew
scriptures which had influenced Ush-
err brought leading men of the older
church to the same view; men who
would have burned each other at the
stake for their differences on other
points agreed on this: Melanchthon
and Tostatus, Lightfoot and Jansen.
Salmeron and Scaliger. Petavius and
kepler, inquisitors and reformers,.
Jesuits Jansenists, priests and rab-
bis, stood together in the belief that
the creation of man was proved by
scripture to have taken place be-
tween 5000 and 4,004 years before
Christ.-Andrew d. White in the
Popular Science Monthly.

Tho Eleventh Lesson.

In every respect It VIII be observed
that tho pen and pencil differ from eacf
other. The question as 20 tho merits OF
each for reporting purposes has been dis
cussed to considerable extent by mem,
bcrs OF the profession. Those reporters
who employed q pencil while learning,
never afterwards giving tho pen fair
trial, of course regard the pencil with
the greater favor. OF those who have
fairly tested both, the majority prefer the
pen. The advantages OF each may DO
seen from the following comparison.
/. Pen work is permanent; pencil
writing fades out In few years.
2. Notes taken with a pen are black
and easy to read; pencil writing Is hard
on the eyes, and for this ono Important
reason q pencil should be used as little
as possible.
8. Writing with a gold pen, which is
. yielding, sensitive instrument, Is much
less fatiguing than manipulating pen
ell, which Is stin and infexiblc.
Proper names are so numerous that q
vocabulary OF them could not well be mem
orizcd; and this would be unnecessary,
since the practical writer may readily
invent sufficiently ineligible outlines for
the most difficult of them. The halving
principle, circles, loops and other adj
iunctive signs should be employed more
,paringly than when writing common
words.
The learner who always cultivatcs q
compact style of writing will In tho end
be both more rapid aud accurate. BY
compactncss of style is meant that tho
characters be written not only small, but
closely together. Tho handwriting of
