Count Tolstoi is nobly illustrating the humanitarian doctrines which he has been so long preaching. He is living, according to recent reports, on the estate of friend in the Russian department of Dankoff, at point where, within radi- us of 30 miles, he has established between 20 and 30 public kitchens to feed the des- titute. The confidence of the Russian people in his integrity and devotion is evidenced by the fact that, in single month, he has received more than 10000 rubles from all parts of the country and he has been able, by dispensing this sum, to feed thousands of starving people. His work is continuous and his activity tireless. He exposes himself to the se- were Winter weather, at the age of 63, without thought of himself. The people see him everywhere, on the most familiar terms. He has become kind of visible providence to them and they worship him as father. Count Tolstoi has spok- en to the whole world through his books he has now the rare good fortune of il- lustrating his spirit in the most practical fashion and it is evident that he is not falling below his opportunity. His sim plicity, his sympathy, his complete iden- tification with the life of the people, his apprehension of their needs and his ab- solute devotion to them make him, just now, the most inspiring figure in coun- try peculiarly given over to materialism, corruption and selfishness. Whatever may be thought of his socialistic theor- ies, there can be but one opinion about the simple nobility of the mans nature and lite.-[Christian Union.] The Rus sian government is said to have stopped Tolstoi's noble work.

Harold Frederick is hard on Sir Edwi

Harold Frederick is hard on Sir Edwin Arnold. He says he holds only very mediocre place in England, either as poet or journalist and has no personal position. The last thing a good many people seem to be able to forgive is the combination of newspaper work with a following of the muses. We hear continually about Arnold's mercantile spirit, his journalist ic methods and more bosh of that sort. There is no reason under the canopy why poet should be berated or sneered at because he is also a man of the world, and practical and provident. The main question is whether he writes good verse or not-and as matter of fact, Sir Ed win does,-very often, though not al- ways.- Courant.

The English Deaconesses house was started in Jerusalem in 1888 as an out growth of missionary association ot English women of the Episcopal church. After two years experience,i it was found that the truth must be preached by deeds of mercy as well as by ords and it was decided to work through the method of healing the sick. Blanche L. Macdon- nell. in a recent number of the Church man, gives an interesting account of the work of this medical mission to Jerusa. lem. The house is one of several large buildings scattered on either side of the road, near the Jaffa gate. The Jaffa gate is the general entrance to Jerusalem and the Jaffa road, leading to it, is the chief suburban thoroughfare. The front of the house is almost European, but it has the oriental fiat roof, and it's interior is in Eastern style-stone halls, stairs and floors. Numbers pass the door daily These people almost live on the ground eating their meals as they wander and only disappear at night fall. These crowds seem to consist of all races mixed and they all seem in their native clements except the Jew, who is an outcast among them.

It was like Phillips Brooks that he consented to be the minister of the Church of the Advent parish, Philadel- phia, for only three months, refusing to engage longer lest he might not come up to expectations. Then he engaged him. self for year at a salary of 5000 and at once set about his work in earnest. The parish was in one of the poorer parts of the city, where it was not easy for a young man to acquire an outside reputa- tion; but he was at once appreciated sby the plain people who mostly made up his congregation. His sermons were con- ceived in such a vein that he opened to people new life. He inspired every body. People said to one another as they went out of church, That was the Gospel we have heard to-day"

A peculiar accident happened in" Mid dletown, Saturday, in which, by an effort to save the life of his dog, John Conroy was himself fatally injured. Conroy is night watchman at the Ar rowana mills. He was returning home in the morning along the track of the Valley road. He saw a train approach ing and stepped off the track, but his dog ran ahead of him and would not obey the calls of his master. ConrOy lifted his cane to frighten the animal off the track, and succeeded, but in doing so he dropped the cane between the rails. He stopped to pick it up, and while in this posture the train thundered down upon him. The pilot of the engine struck him on the side of the head, crushing the skull and throwing him twenty feet away, fatally injuring him. He was 51 years old and leaves a daughter and three sons.

Columbus was the establisher of the ambitious to become the first slave driver of the New World, who sought to cheat the devil of heather souls by sending cargoes of slaves to Spain; out of whose baleful suggestions there grew the mon- strous evil which progressed in the West Indies with tremendous rapidity. The people whom he went to save for Christ, he prepared for the slave pen; those whom he sought to civilize, he first de- prived of their manhood. There is almost no relief to the dark picture which Win sor draws, save that Columbus career was full of sadness, notwithstanding it's glory Christian Union.

France is jealous of England and Spain and anxious to extend her holdings west ward from Algiers, to say nothing of her designs upon Touat in the interior. One factor which may have an important bear ing upon the future of Morocco is the fanatical Mohammedanism of the Moors and Arabs, which would lead them to sink all internal strife to join against a foreign invader. This is what happened when, in 1860, Spain invaded Morocco and Marshal O'Donnell was driven out of all but small section of the territory he thought he had conquered.

Fatal Faro.

If any one has an idea that he can beat faro bank, let him read this story. There is a man in Louisville to-day named Watts. Ten years ago,he was one of the best known gamblers in the sWest. The firm of Watts, Hughes & Cathcart was powerful. Cathcart was the great auct- ioneer of pools. In those days, auction and mutual pools were sold almost ex- clusively. Watts was the brains of the firm and the faro bank which he had in Louisville was the great gambling resort of that lively section. Watts frequently went around with $40, 900 or $50,O00 on his person. He spent $50,000 year and still made money. To his friends he ac- knowledged that he was worth $500, GOO.
 "How do you suppose I have made it ?" he asked young friend of his one night as the two were drinking a bottle of wine in his club house. "Where do you sup pose this bundle came fromr' and he pulled out a roll of big bills and counted out $41 1000. 1T will tell you. Do you see that little nickel plated box that the dealer Is pulling the cards out of over there? We'll, it all came from there. That box is a machine. It never gets drunk, it never gets reckless, it never gives the player who Is 'bucking' it any the best of it and it never tires. Win or lose, its play Is the same. There is lot of money behind that box, and the more turLs that are made the more that box will win, for there is great percentage in it's favor. Every time card splits that box claims half of all the money bet on that card, but that percentage is very small compared to that of the deal box, being machine"
 MT Watts was philosopher and spoke the truth, but he was human. He knew how hard 1t was to beat faro bank, but he thought he knew more than the men who had been against the game. To-day Watts is working in Louisville for $15 a week. His fortune has gone, his faro bank has gone and the men who used to help spend S50, 1000 year seldom think of him. They were all lost against that nickel plated deal box.-[New York Her. aid.

In the last week of August, 1889, the dock laborers' strike took place in Lon don, the strikers demanding an advance from five pence to six pence per hour and a shilling per hour for night work. More than 50,000 men united in the movement. It was the most important strike ever known in London. Empty and unladen ships lay idle at the wharves. The food supply of the metropolis was menaced. Military attachments and force of 2000 policemen were detailed to the docks. Prices of provisions advanced and river traffic was choked. This state of things continued for nearly six weeks. Relief from abroad and contributions at home supported the strikers. At the outset, Cardinal Manning, the lord mayor, the bishop of London and Sir John Lubbock conferred with the dock companies to get them to come to an understanding with the strikers. Others. including MT Bux- ton and Lord Brassy ,intervened, but the cardinal and the lord mayor conducted all the negotiations between the officials
 
 an independent effort on September 10 to effect settlement, proposing that the advance terms should go into operation November l, provided the men at once resumed work. Conferences continued and for more than 3 fortnight the cardi- nal worked day and night, till finally the question was satisfactorily settled and the strikers returned to work October IS. That this memorable strike should have been brought to an end without riot, vio- lence or bloodshed was solely due to the efforts, the eloquence and the influence of the cardinal. His sympathy with the sufferings of the strikers, his persuasive method of presenting their demands and his diplomatic tact in effecting com promise won the admiration and grati- tude of all classes of people in England and throughout the civilized world.

A palace ceases to be a palace when trouble knocks at the door-it is home. It's splendor fades away, it's mighty pres tige becomes dim. Death, the magician and the democrat, makes us all equal. There is no royalty at such time as that. Crowns and millions, pomp and power count for nothing. The one stun- ming fact is that Death smites rich and poor with the same iron hand and leaves an equal sorrow in the emperor's and the peasants heart.- New York Herald.

We catch sight of what the Advent will mean for men. It is not the coming to usher us into unfamiliar and distant realms of being, where we shall lose and forget all that has grown near and dear to us here by association of heart and head and hand.

We should adopt the English plan of consolidating small offices in rural neighborhoods. In thousands of the small post offices, the postmaster's salary absorbs the entire receipts. Where there are two or three offices within radius of three miles, let them be placed in charge of a superintendent, like "stat- ion' in the city, $100 year salary being master would have a general supervision and would hardly feel the additional work that would be put upon him. From the business point of view, this plan is perfectly practicable.-[Ex-Postmaster General James.

Byron's story, like that of Burns, is a sad one, for, like Burns, he had immense ed, ringing poems which took the ear of the world away from "Marmion'' and gave it to "Childe Harold;'' but he did hot E'hold as 'twere the mirror up to Ma ture." He wanted Nature to hold the mirror up to him, while he posed and ad- mired himself before it. Yet he had a work to do in literature and did it well. II Blanche w. Bellamy.
