The OfertOry.

The offertory occasionally yields its
humors. | can see no fun myself in
dropping into the plate buttons or pep
permint drops or gilded farthings. But
these and other Such ike votive offer
ings occasionally come our way. On
one occasion mild hint was given to a
dirty looking verger when small coin
was carefully wrapped up in bit Of
paper inscribed, For bath for a prom
inent church official" On another occa-
sion, when the officiating clergyman had
been somewhat bungling through diff
ficult litary, similar piece of paper was
marked, "For singing lesson for the
curate."
After somewhat rambling discourse
from one of my colleagues, who shall OF
course be nameless, the church wardel
told me that man at the bottom Of tb
church, when he offered him the plate
took out sixpence and looked at it rue
fully, and then cast it in with the re
mark, "Well, you shall have it, old fel
low, but it's deal more than that sermon
was worth. "-Cornhill Magazine.

An Important Discovery.

German investigation proves that acid
solutions will convert common sawdust
into material firm in texture and SO
extremely hard as to be impenetrable
by either nail or gimlet. 1t is also
more impervious to the action OF the
elements than any other known mate
rial used for building purposes, con-
crete natural stone and ordinary build
ing metals not excepted. Besides the
above excellent qualities, which of
course will make it rank high in the
estimation of contractors and builders,
it has another point that will make it
worthy Of praise when finally adopted
that of being practically fireproof, speci-
mems of boards made from it having
been subjected to an extraordinary de-
gree of heat for upward of an hour with
out warping or changing its texture in
the least.
It is claimed for it that it will be
stronger than wood for joists and grid.

it into competition with the more com.

Ossifed People.

An unfortunate known to the medical
profession and to frequenters of dime
museums as the "Ossifed Man" died
lately at Lewiston, N. Y. He was fifty
years old, and his body had been gradu-
ally turning to bone for many years
past First, the strange hardening af-
fected his joints, then spread slowly
through his limbs, finally attacking his
body. When at last the deadly deposit
Of bone material reached the valves of
the heart, it was all over with poor
Jonathan Bass, and he died.
The papers made wonder of him and
spoke Of him after his funeral as if he
wereth only ossifed man and a freak
of nature that would not soon be re-
peated. But they were wrong. There
are ossified people all about us-men
and women-constantly. They do not
show themselves in museums, for the
ossifcation has not manifested itself
outwardly, but they are true examples
of how the soft parts of human nature
can stiffen and harden till they are like
bone. The difference between them and
Jonathan Bass is that in their case the
ossifcation begins at the heart instead
of ending there. 1t does not kill then
apparently, though it does really, fol
these old fossils are merely walking aDt
talking automata. For all the good the.
do anybody they might as well hav'
been dead and buried long ago.
The splendid heroism, the glorious en-
thusiasm and brotherly love that thrill
the human race and move it on to prog
ress touch them no more than If the!
were made of iron, for they are ossihet
men and women. See?

The Express, which has been an
earnest advocate of the building of the
University, reports that "work will be
commenced upon the first building
within the next sixty days" Although
there is no authority for this statement
the HERALD is glad to report that the
outlook is really very encouraging, 40
much so, in fact, that Mr.. Laidlaw, the
president elect, has resigned his pastor
ate at Troy, N. Y, and preached his
farewell sermon to his congregation
there, and he is now engaged in
securing the funds verbally pledged to
the institution in the East. The great
school, of which he is to be the first ex-
ecutive head, will be located on Puget
sound, wherever a stipulated endow-
ment in lands and money is first OBJ
tanned. Thus far Fairhaven is in the
lead, but $4,000 must yet be raised to
complete the endowment and make the
establishment of the university GER
tainty. Those who are amply able to
aid the great project but have not a.
yet done so are urged to come forward
without further delay and complete the
guarantee. As soon as this Is done
active work will be commenced upon
the grounds and buildings.

The New brotherhood of France.


The world is not all bad and never
was. 1t is better now than it was two
centuries ago, and it is going to be bet
ter still. Out of the luxury, the skepti-
cism, the materialism and the despair
of the last generation in the most Guilt
waited circles of France and elsewhere
new movement has arisen. Anew ideal
has been born, and 1t is an ideal Of moral
progress. In France, the last place
where it might have been expected,
there has grown up among the most
thoughtful and intelligent Of the Paris
students a desire to realize a robust,
positive and manly morality, as differ
emit from priestly asceticism as from
mere materialistic luxury and sensuali-
| ty. The same wave of moral awaken
ing is to be observed among the young
people of our own country. Its mean
ing is read in the White Cross society
for moral purity among men, in the So
ciety of Christian Endeavor and also
that of the Kings Daughters. In diff
ferent way, too, this is the meaning of
the work of the Salvation Army and the
college settlements.
In France and the United States the
moral awakening among young people
is most marked, and in these two repub-
lies perhaps it was most needed. In
this country Felix Adler's society fol
Ethical Culture began the movement
In France it was time something should
produce a moral awakening or the re
public would have died of corruption
from absinthe drinking and sensuality
, among her men.
Several valiant and brainy young mel
of the best social circles are in the LEAD
, of this awakening in France, which shall
bring men back to the knowledge tina
without moral ideals the world is lost
, They take the teachings of Tolstoi Il
. great measure for their guide. One o
8 the leaders is Paul Desjardins. From
: being one of the most popular and fash
!, ionable literary men in Paris he sud
denly turned about, through heavel
y knows what influence, and became tn
i apostle Of the new ethical teaching
E based ON what he calls "hope and soil

d lieving in the lofty destiny and infnit
perfectibility of the race, and workin
together toward that lofty destiny
p Mankind reaches its best through sci
le mastery and striving, and all who wor
ID with this aim belong TO the new brothet
hood.

WHEN WE GO OFF AND DIE.

The road is rough and rocky,
The road that leads to fame,
And the way is strewu with skeletons
OF those who have grown lame,
And have fallen by the wayside;
The world will pass you by,
Nor pause TO read your manuscript
Till you go of and die.
Your friends of course will print your
stuff,
And tell you IL is good,
And when you sign IL, More Anon.
They'll say, / wish you would.
They just about appreciate;
And yet know not why
They all forget you want TO eat
Till yot go off and die.
You'll find no shoulders here below
To help you bear your cross,
You'll have to eat your mutton plain,
Without your caper sauce;
And when you read down to dessert
You'll find dearth of pie;
And you'll never know what pudding is
Till you 90 off and die.
But there's a consolation
In the thought that when we're dead
II we have written something good
Our efforts will be read;
And friends will plant forgetmenots,
And come and sit and sigh,
And irrigate our graves with tears
When we go of and die.

are good for large trade, especially In
view of the fact that Mission Junction,
where the Blue Canyon coal is tranship

pew when asked what he thought of the
statement made last night by ex- Senator
Platt attributing the defeat of the Repub-
licans in New York to him (Depew) said ::
brother Platt objected to me taking any
sctlve managing part in the campaign and
it was therefore agreed that he should
manage the campaign, and he was allotted
the task of running the machine and | was
put cut speech making.
''Now, Brother Plat Is shreWd and
competent engineer, aud ran the machine
as well as it could be run. But as
he wes managing and conducting
the machine, | do not think he can
lay the blame for the collision on me-"
We just ran into landslide and this plain
and simple result could lot be attributed
to airy one person or persons. New York
alone did not effect the result. 1t was the
whole country. The people wanted q
change of policy more than candidates and
they will have it, They want to try free
trade because they think they will "get
clothing cheaper" They will have every
opportunity to try it l hope. The Home
stead strike also affected voting. Coming
at the beginning of the campaign it 0psrat-
ed against Harrison. There has been a
good deal of talk about Carnegie and F'rick.
We charged Frick with having voted the
Democratic ticket He nor Carnegie coz
tributed nothing to the campaign fund.

Ts~ ger of the Fredericksburg brewery.
d hanging to g tree this morning.
.lls haa were tied benind his back, his
1eet TIED ogelher and handkerchief tied
over his outh. The ground near the tree
showed gidence Of q severe struggle Toe
air Is snroudel in mystery.
Irc.1 an investigation made by officers
it Is learned that Planz attended the
theatre last night and went to a saloon
alone and was seen about midnight by
Henry Javenil, whom Planz told he was
going home. Pianz LOGGED about mile
from the center of town aud quarter of q
mile from the brewery. The route is
through u rather thinly populated district.
The theory now is that Planz was attacked
by two or three men and killed and robbed
before hand and that the tragedy occurred
forty or fifty feet from the tree where he
was found hanging. 1t is supposed the
men threw q rope around his neck from be-
bind with a sliding loop and strangled
him. His pockets we're all turned inside
out, but his watch and scarf pin were
afterwards found in his room, only his
sleeve buttons and pocket money being
missing. He was hung on q limb eleven
feet from the ground. The rope around
his neck was wrapped four or Eve times
around the limb, but was not tied The
body was found by the night yard man at
the broad gauge depot as the latter was
going home.

was originally discovered in 1772 by Mon
tague az Limoges.
It's periodicIty was established
by Biela at Jehosiphst, Bohemia, in 1926.
but its position proximity to the sun pre-
vented its observations on several of it's re-
turns. In 1915 1t Was seen &c a faint

portions. On its next return in 1852 two
companions were discerDable, but
widely separated and since that
time it has not been seen. In 1872 a
stream OF meteors were noted the orbit Of
" hlch agreed with that of this comet and
an interesting relationship was at once
established. There is a possibility that
this comet, transformed into z stream Of
