W Onen's Beauty.

The physical beauty of women should
last until they are past fifty. Nor does
beauty reach its zenith under the age of
thirtv-iive or forty. Helen of Troy

Christian Faith and Scientific
Freedom.

q All orthodox Christians deny even
the possibility of II conflict between sci
ence and revelation. 1t is impossible
that revealed aud demonstrated truths
should not agree. because it is impossi-
bic that God should contradict Himself
All truths of the natural. as well as
of the supernatural. order proceed from
Him. and conflict, therefore, can
never be more than apparent. 1t may
not always he possible at II given time
to show their agreement, but ii can
never be demonstrated that they are
contradictory. 1t may happen. and oc-
casionally does happen, that the CON
illusions of science appear to contravene
certain articles of faith, but in reality
the apparent diseord Is due entirely to
misapprchension of the teachings Of
faith or to misinterprctation of the
facts of nature. In such cases the diff
Guilty is but temporary and is sure TO
disappear with a better understanding of
the facts involved. Regarding ques-
tons of philosophy aud science. that
have no direct bearing on dogma, the
Church has always permitted the great
est liberty OF thought and freedom of
discussion. We have most striking in
stances of this in the working of the
early fathers and doctors regarding
questions that long ages ago were the
occasion of as much study and contro-
versy as they are now. Among these
much moOted questions were those that
referred to the Mosaic cosmogony, the
Noachian Deluge, the chronology of the
Bible and the age Of the human race

A gang of lightning rod sharks made
an attempt To rod II farmers house

worst of the bargain The farmer is an
I'D soldier living 10 miles south of this

day one man called AID inquired who
the owner WIS. got Il drink Of water and
departed. The next day another called
and proposed to make the farmer pres
ent of 100 feet of rod, charging him 10
cents n foot for 10 feet and charging him
extra for the necessary points, insisting
that the farmer sign "A contract for the
balance. This he refused to do, and the
fellow left. Saturday two more men
drove up to his place, threw out rods
and tools and proceeded to put mp the
rods The farmer objected, but they
claimed to have an order to do the work
and laughed him to scoru. Snyder got
his gun, and covering the man III the
wagon, who had drawn revolver, he
ordered HIM to clc2r ont or he would let
daylight through him. The fellow drove
off at II lively rate, leaving his pal ut the

comedians acting and the utterly Impossible

aclly suit him. Murphy is not great actor,
he is deficient in the finesse of the art but he
Is most interesting one, and will draw the
sweet wa er Of merrIment out of critical and
cynical nature as arid as the desert OF Moiaye.
Some persons express surprise at the great
success that has attended Murpby's enterprise
so far, and which is quite likely TO last 10 the
end OF his term. "He has nothing new," they
say, land we have Sc him often. Besides,
Irving and The French people have been before
and carried Of considerable money. Davenport
did nothing. and Murphy VIII do but little. The
theater-goers want rest" In Murphy's case
the judgment Of the knowing ones went astray.
They forgot, in summing up the situation, the
proyerblal good luck that has attended the
Irish comedian all through his career or they
failed TO see how il was going TO stand him
here. That it is standing him is very evident,
and the reason may best be gathered from con-

and admirers, casually overheard.
