As to Pensions.

1t is often stated that the United
States government is the most liberal
government on earth, and so it is. But
it varies from Great Britain, to its own
credit. The English government pen
sions its nobility in lavish way; we
pension our needy soldiers-and in a
lavish way, if you will. But which is
the worse? One family alone, the
dukes of Richmond, have received mill
lions from England in pensions. In
1876, Charles III. granted to one of his
illegitimate sons, the then Duke of
Richmond, duty of one shilling per
chaldron on Goals exported from the
Tyne and consumed in England. Up
to 1779, the Richmond family had re-
ceived something like $4,000 from
that tax. On the 5th of July, 1893,
the tax was committed for annual pay
ment of sos 900, from the consolidated
fund. The first lord of the treasury is
always, one of the trustees of the Rich
mond estate, and, should direct issue OF
the body of the first Richmond fail, the
land will revert to the rown.-Er'
change.

Sympathy.

1t is not merely the words and the
form into which they are cast when
sympathy is expressed that will do
good, though sometimes, when deli
cately and appropriately worded, the
Borrowing one will preserve them for
their own sake, that they may at a
future day be applied to the healing of
grief elsewhere. There is value in the
simplest expression of unaffected inter-
est and sincere concern. 1t deprives
sorrow of the more or less inseparable
feeling of loneliness. 1t is a proof TO
the stricken heart that the burden is
shared by others. With Gods blessing
it applies help and comfort. He who
has words at command will do well to
use them thoughtfully as possible in the
blessed ministration of sympathy. He
who has no choice of words, but can
only in simple bluntness of speech make
manifest his own concern at his neigh
boris distress, will do we'll to be not too
limid. The mere hand grasp, with the
TRANSPORTED look, and the faltering
words that have genuineness of soul in
them, will tell the other all he needs to
know, and so will be effected the good
that beneficent Father meant to be
effected when he made us capable of
sympathy and made sympathy link be-
tween heart and hearts. THE Mordrian.

Vital Christianity.

The miracles of Jesus seem to me
very reasonable and probable, though
| cannot say that l consider them of
any vital importance. That Christ rose
from the dead most earnestly believe,
and l believe that he became the
first fruits of those who will rise to i'm
mortality and the presence of the
Father. That is the vital question, my
friend. What is Christ to you and your
lifep That Christ should work miracles
is to me the most natural thing in the
world. But what are outer miracles
compared with the wondrous miracle
of transformation which he can and
does work in poor, weak, sinful human
hearts? Christ is US and we in Christ,
and the Immortality of love and wor-
ship, these are the vital things. 1t is
this correlation of the human and the
Christlike which has made him the Re-
deemer of men. have no patience
with carping criticisms while the essen
tial, vital, redemptive truth is wholly
overlooked. But there is nothing CO.
ercive in Christianity, no lettering
of the best and highest thought of
which we are capable, no overriding of
our common sense or manly freedom
of thought and utterance. 1t chains
us, not by force, but by attractiveness.
1t subdues us because we yearn to be
subdues by its power. The divine in
us reaches upward, and the divine
above reaches downward, and the two
mingle, and that is living faith in a
living Christ.-Phillips Brooks.

His F;rst Trip.

the elevator in the New York Life build
ing, as he stopped at the first floor.
''Two," is the password for the second,
'sThree, - for the third floor. and so on
up to 'sTen,'' when the top floor IS
reached.
On trip yesterday the elevator was
crowded with men. All of them seemed
to be intent on business, but there was a
peculiar expression on the face of one
man in the corner as the elevator assembled
and the number representing the floor in
creased in size. The corners of this man s
mouth dropped lower and lower and his
hands were thrust deeper and deeper into
his trousers pockets. When the elevator
stopped at the ninth floor the old fellow
seemed relieved, but his hands went still
deeper when the cage started again.
ssTeni' called out the boy.
And not until then was the cause of the
old mans anxiety known. He pulled out
nine cents, handed them to the elevator
man and exclaimed:

have, but I'll walk down. '-Kansas City

The Pernicious Warrant system Demora-
lining Municipal Finances.
The city's finances are in very COM
piicated state and the prospect for i'm
provemeut is far from encouraging.
There is now outstanding in city war
rants about $40, COO, and the
amount viii be increased be-
fore it is diminished. The rule allowing
the payment of all special city taxes in
warrants has had the effect of reducing
the city's cash increase materially, and
Treasurer Duke will have TO co some good
financieeTlng TO meet the pay rolls.
About 81 600 was paid in for taxes and Ii
ceDses yesterday, and practically all OF it
was in warrants IN this way, warrants to
the amount Of about $50, 200 have been re-
deemed. but as the cash revenue is cut
down TO Just that extent the amount OUT
standing remains stationary. There does
not appear to be any prospect of selling the
bonds, and the expenses OF the joint build
ing, the gravity sewer, the paving and
other public work must be met by war
rants. a gentleman who has given the
matter some attention, yesterday pre-
dicted that within q year the city will
have paid on this paper about SIS, 600,
which means that 500, 010 in warrants
