SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

On one occasion Charles Hugo spoke
slightingly of the Bible, and thus his
father rebuked him: Don't talk about
things that you know nothing of. Are
you sure you have even read the Bible?
Know that Job is one of the greatest
masterpieces of the human mind. 1t is
perhaps the greatest masterpiece. And
tomorrow, if all literature was to be
destroyed and it was left to me to re-
tain one work only, should say Job. p"
New courses of lectures for women
are to be given in the Victoria Lyceum
in Berlin. Until now there have been
held courses in German and in history
as an experiment This experiment has
succeeded so we'll that two years
course in English and in French is to
be added. Moreover, number of pro-
fessors in Gottingen have offered to
give courses of lectures to women.
These lectures are to begin Easter, 1898.
Work has been commenced on the
new four-storY brick science hall at
Denison university, Granville, o. The
plans for the new academy building
are now being prepared. and there is a
movement on foot to erect a new Y. M.
G. A hall. The Denison faculty,
pioneers in university extension work
in Ohio, will continue to give courses
of lectures in cities throughout the
state this year. Glasses in neurology
and anthropology have just been or
ganized by Prof. G. L. Herrick, recent
lY of the Chicago university.
The commission appointed more
than twelve months ago by Bishop Pot
ter to investigate charges of heresy
against the Rev. DR.. Heber Newton,
rector of the Episcopal church of All
Souls, at Sixty-sixth street and Madison
avenue, has reported the charges mot
proved" The commission decided
''that the catholicity of the Episcopal
church was broad and sufficiently large
to allow a man to preach according to
his moods. The utterances of DR.. New
ton must be ascribed to his moods, and
we trust that he, upon consideration,
will see his way clear to revoking the
utterances in question"
No one will pretend that church
which contributes 81 ,068, 446 per annum
for diocesan purposes, s11. 1910, 095 for
parochial purposes, and s1,243, ,619 for
other purposes, that is to say, an ag-
gregate of s13, ,522, 176 per annum, would
have the least diffic ulty in raising an
additional fund of from 100000 to
$3.50, 900 for the maintenance of men
whose life and health and strength
have been expended in her service.
Merely to state the proposition is to
prove that the Protestant Episcopal
church can, and that it ought, to pro-
vide sufficient support for its disabled
clergy.-Church Standard.

TREMENDOUS POWER OF WATER.
Stream Could BE Thrown Which Would
Resist the Edge of an Ak.

a Stream Could Be Thrown Which Would
Resist the Edge of an AK.
After an elaborate series of computa-
tions Prof Samuel B. Christy, of the
University of California, an eminent
authority on mining and metallurgy,
reports that if nozzle of from six to
nine inches in diameter were especially
arranged to throw stream vertically
upward against spherical bowlder of
quartz weighing a thousand pounds,
the vertical head being anywhere from
one hundred to one hundred and fifty
feet, the bowlder would be forced up
until the diminished velocity of the
stream established an equilibrium
of pressures. There would be
point at which the upward pres
sure of the stream would ex-
actly balance the gravity pressure of
the bowlder, holding it, the half-ton
rock, there suspended. AS to cut
ting these streams Prof. Christy says
that he has often tried to drive a crow
bar into one of them. The stream felt
as solid as bar of iron, and, although
he could feel the point of the crowbar
enter the water for perhaps half an
inch, the bar was thrown forward with
such force that it was almost impossi-
BILE to retain it in the grasp. An AK
swung by the most powerful man alive
could not penetrate the stream, yet it
might be cut by the finger of child if
the child were seated on a railway
train moving parallel with the stream
in the same direction and with the
same velocity. That velocity would be
more than a mile minute.
Justice Bradley, of the supreme
court, had also tried his intellect upon
the mathematics of the problem SUBJ
mitted by Justice Field He delivered
this opinion: 81 can well believe all
you say with regard to the tremendous
force of strea ms issuing from the pipes
of the miners under large head of
water. OF course they would produce
instant death if directed against man
standing near, and would probably cut
his body in two"
The statement presented in summary
will not astonish engineering experts.
The average citizens, however, is ac-
customed to regard water as the least
destructive liquid that can be put in
motion. Stockman.

T,aterniiIar In CrinoIIno.

At Rio I met with very common in
habitant of the tropics, a huge cater
pillar who built himself a sort of
r moline of sticks and then covered it
with thick web. This dwelling he
carried about with him as a snail
carries her shell, spinning an outwork
of webb round the twig of pet tree,
by which his house is hung, leaving
him free TO put out three joints of his
head and neck and eat up all the
leaves and flowers within reach.
When the branches are bare he spins
bit more web on q higher twig, bites
through the old one, jerks his whole
establishment upstairs, and begins
eating again. He had q kind of elastic
portico TO his house, which closed over
his head at the slightest noise, the
house shutting up like telescope and
then when all was quiet again out
came his head, down dropped the
building and the gourmand again set
himself to his task of continual feast
ing. At last came the sleep of the
chrysalis and he finally became poor,
downy moth. - Rscollections, Miss
North.

sprang to her feet, her hot eyes glaring,
and her form trembling with anger and
horror. She did not speak, but fixed
her gaze on his face for few seconds.
He did not meet her look, and present.
ly she turned and ran out of the door.
Sam, almost sober now, called after
her. but she did not answer. He got
out of bed slowly and started to dress
himself. He had almost finished, when
Matt, accompanied by her father and
the two strangers, returned
'Thar he is-an' thar's tn money"
she said, and passed on out through
the back door, without looking at Sam.
There was Jail at the crossroads;
it was a primitive affair, but solid and
substantial. 1t was dugout in the
side-hill, and had heavy oak door and
great steel hinges and lock. It was
plenty strong enough to hold dozen
men, all anxious to escape-and Sam
Toms did not try to escape. He only
sat still in the low, damp, darksome
room and tried to understand how it
had all happened. 1t must be drunk
en- dream-but, no, he was almost
sober, and knew where he was and
how and why he was there. But-he
could not understand. Had Mat-was
it really Mat, who had given him up?
There must be some mistake.
The big, strong man finally began to
realize it all. He lay down on the
bunk and cried himself to sleep, like a
child.
It must have been about one o'clock
in the morning when some one silently
entered the house of old Bill Bum,
constable. This some one entered by
the back door, went stealthily into the
room where Bill and his wife slept,
rummaged about few minutes, and
then emerged from the house. 1t was
a woman, and she had something in
her hand.
Sam Toms was awakened, a little
after this, by rattling, jarring sound.
He sprang up, just as the big oaken
doors swung back and revealed the
figures of woman and two saddle
horses.
81 come FIR ye, Sam,' said the wom-
an, with a sob. 81 done brung both
ponies an ou' clo'es. Les go, Sam; we
en- git 'crost tn rivah befo' mawnin'.
ComeP'
He clasped her in his arms, and they
clung to each other little while.
The Mat said, more steadily:
Come, Sam. Les go ovah t Mexico
an mebbe we en- try N do better
ovah thar"
And they rode forth in the bright,
free moonlight, down towards the Rio
Grande-into a new and better life

SUNSET.

'How grandly sinks the sun 20 rcsff~
Said one who saw the red-skyed west
AS closed a day, whose golden light
Was slowly fading into night.
Beneath the low horizons rim.
Seen in the distance, faint and dim.
Men hail a glorious. rising sun,
Whose course to them is but begun;
The self-same orb, just passed away
From other eyes, brings them new day.
"Another dear one passed away:
How peacefully she died." men say.
But just beyond the bounds OF earth
They utter tidings OF a birth.
The self-same one, who passed from sight,
AS sinks the sun each summer night,
The angels say, has but begun
The life that seems to mortals done;
For death, grim terror OF the earth,
AS seen by angels, is but birth.
