II is wonderful how the Christian re-
ligion has enlarged and enriched, not
only human experience, but also hu-
man language. 1t has introduced new
words and new conceptions of things,
and given g higher meaning to old
words and old ideas. Its new. wine
has been poured into new bottles, and
jim many cases it has changed the
water of mere earthly language into
the wine of a heavenly speech. By the
the introduction of Christianity into
many dark pagan country, the old
words by which they expressed their
notions of mans duty and of Gods re-
lations to them have been purified and
raised to a higher level, and have now
a fulness and depth of meaning which
they never conveyed to the native in
their heathen condition. When DIR.
Wenger, the distinguished translator
of the Biblein India, pressed his Hin
doo:pundit for the Bengal word for icon
SCIENCE" the pundit was in perpleXity,
and finally answered, "What is not in
a country has no name there" There
was no word in the ancient Greek Ian
guage to express what Peter meant by
humility, and therefore the word
which be coined to signify his mean
ing is one of the new words which we
owe TO Oh istianity: for it is Christian
ity that has brought the new thing
which it represents into the world.

why we Need Two Ears.

Sound travels by waves, radiating
from central point of disturbance,
just as waves radiate when a stone is
thrown into still water. So far as the
hearing Of each individual is concerned
ed these waves move in a direct line
from the cause of the disturbance to
the ear. This being the case, the i'm
pact is greater in the ear nearest the
sound. Now, person who has total
ly lost the hearing of one ear cannot
locate the direction of noise to save
his life. even when the center Of dis
turbance is quite near. Blind persons
learn to estimate distances in asurpTis-
ingly brief period after losing their
sight, but experts on diseases Of the
ear say that persons who are wholly
deaf in one ear can never learn the di-
rection from which q sound comes.

Riding on the Platform.

The belt illustration that 1 ever
heard, showing the disadvantage of
living as Christian outside of the
Church, was given me by young
convert whom I had recently received
into the church.
I expressed my pleasure and graft
ication at the step he had taken, he
replied:
I had not made up my mind to join
when I came to meeting tonight, but
while you were talking I thought it
was liko buying ticket to Chicago,
and then riding on the platform. I
thought might aswell go inside.

his illustration gave an unanswerable,

favor Of Church membership.-Mes-

Be Patient with the Living.

sweet friend, when thou and art gone
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When small shall be our need Of grace
From coinrade or from neigbhrf;
Passed oil the strife, the toll, the care.
And done with all the sighing--
What tender truth shall we have gained,
Alas. by simply dying?
'Tis easy to be gentle when
Death silence shames our clamnr,
And easy to discern the best
Through meinory's mystic glamor;
But wise 1t were for you and me,
Ere love is past forgivins,
To take the tender lesson home
Be patient with the living.
---Good Cheer.

1t would simply relieve Minneapolis
millers alone of burden under which
both Minneapolis and Milwaukee now
stagger; Minneapolis would stand on
level with Duluth, and Milwaukee
would be situated none the worse.
Under cross Ss-eXaminatiOn Mr.. Green
leaf SAID he did not believe there was
enough wheat raised in the territory
nearer Duluth than Minneapolis to
enable Duluth, if all that wheat were
Willed there, to fix the price of flour in
the markets of the world.
&. A. Pillsbury assumed the role or
attorney, and with astonishing direct
ness he drew out several points upon
which the railroad attorney had been
badgering Mr.. Greenleaf. Ope-half the
wheat in the disputed territory goes
over the Great Northern by route
fifty miles further than to Minneapolis.
Fifty per cent of the wheat grown in
North Dakota, 100 per cent of that
grown in South Dakota and so per cent
of that grown i'm Minnesota is naturally
tributary to Minneapolis on basis OF
distance alone, leaving return freight
and local business out of the question.
If Minneapolis rates were put OH a
parity with Duluth, the mills
south of Minneapolis would not SUI
fer. Until Minneapolis in put on an
equal footing with Duluth, the Milwau-
kee miller will not suffer frcm Mime
apolis competition, for the Duluth miller
cuts lower on prices, and the lowest
cutter is the one who causes all the
trouble. Unless the freight rates are
adjusted, the mill capacity at Duluth
will be so increased within couple of
years that II will more than equal the
present capacity of Minneapolis mills.

THE GREAT NORTHERN.
The Council Committee Gets After
the Big Railroad.

Inc COunC1l Committee Gets After
the Big Railroad.
The railroad committee managed to
get together yesterday afternoon and
juggle with the ordinance compelling
the Great Northern road to build bridges
and lower its tracks on the East side.
Sam Hill was present, and so was City
Attorney Russell and several attorneys
for the road. The ordinance was re-
ferred to the committee some time ago,
but until yesterday the members never
seemed to get together when any of the
railroad people were around. The
confab lasted several hours, and
when it was over the Ordi-
nance looked more like the map
of New Boston, than anything else.
Every committeeman got an amend
changes made was one which renders it
necessary that the grade of the streets
named in the ordinance be changed.
The bridges at Central avenue will also
be built differently from what was first
proposed, the width of one being So
feet and the other 81, instead of SO. The
roadway at Como is to remain the same
as at present. The bridges on Main
street are to be 30 feet long; at Second
45; at University, 80: at Fourth. 80; at
Fifth, 220; at Seventh. 40, and at Cen
tral, 200.
There was quite little row over de-
Gliding upon having bridge at Nicollet
street OH the island, but it was finally
settled. 1t was also decided that if any
of the bridges are extended in the
future the cost of the change is to be
assessed on the railroad company, i'll

HYPNOTIZED MRS. FARR.
A Somewhat Sensational Suit at
the District Court.

A Somewhat Sensational Suit at
the District Court.
The suit of Mrs. Sarah Farr, the we'll
known Nicollet avenue hair dresser,
against George S. Koffend, an erstwhIe
clerk in the store of the Minneapolis
Dry Goods company. was commenced
, before Judge Hooker and jury yester-
day. The matter created good deal of
comment OH the filing of the complaint,
two months ago. The complaint cites,
in, effect, that KOffend hypnOtiZed
Mrs. Farr and gained such an influence
over her as to make her practically SUBJ
Servient to his wishes. This influence,
according to the plaintiff, Koffend used
in very beneficial way-to himself.
Among other things, he induced Mrs.
Farr to deed him plat Of land worth
between $4,000 and $4,000, for which no
consideration was given. 1t is to set
aside that deed and recover possession
of the land that the present trial is to
determine.
. Thescase, as far as it went yesterday.
fully realized expectations as to diSclOS-
ing some remarkable evidence.
The defendant KOffend was the only
witness placed OH the stand but he
:
Mrs. Farr'S attorney, roasted him pretty
brown in his opening remarks to. the
jury, but that did not appear to feaZe
the young dry goods clerk. According
to the story told by Koffend. he must
have had rOllicking time during his
acquaintanceship with Mrs. Farr. He
exhibited diamond studs and diamond
rings, which he said were gifts to him
from that lady. He testified that the
lot of ground in controversy. had been
decided him in a bona fide business way.
He had bargained for the lot, paid
sum of $500 in cash and had given a
note for the balance. Thesa Mrs. Farr
had returned marked "paid. He pre-
Sumed she made him gift of the un-
paid notes like the diamonds. She had
also given him a half interest in her
store on Nicollet avenue and a home
stead worth $4,000 to $4,000. In doing
all this Mrs. Farr explained 10 him
she expected some legal trouble with
her sister and she would sooner that he
should have the property than her sister.
Koffend further detailed that in 1890 he
joined the plaintiff in trip to Yellow
stone Park and the Pacific coast. Mrs.
Farr suggested it and paid all expenses.
While away she introduced him to her
friends as her nephew, and he used to
call her "auntie." Coming back to the
matter of the store, KOtfend said Mrs.
Fair gave him the half-ShaIe in Febfu-
AIRY, 1891, and he sold it back to her two
months afterwards for $4,000.
The case will be continued this morn
ing
