FIRST CONGREGATIONAL.

At the meeting of this church last
night some feeling grew out of reso-
luton which the Christian Endeavor
society had adopted and asked to be
laid before the society. 1t was to the
effect that the church should have a
regularly chosen fixed salaried pastor
installed. The resolution was not read
by the clerk, Carl Roberts. On ques-
ton of continuing the pastorate of Rev.
p. s. Knight as supply minister the
vote was 25 for, 1l3 against and num-
Der not voting. 1t is not yet known
what Mr.. Knight will do. 1t is well
known that he is not seekeng the job,
but tried to help hold the church to
gether when it was without shepherd.

The Vision OF Birds.

Birds have very acute vision; per-
haps the most acute Of any creature,
and the sense is also more widely
diffused over the retina than is the
case with man; consequently a bird
can see sideways as we'll as objects
In front Of 1t.
A bird sees-showing great I'M
easlness In consequence hawk long
before 1t is visible to man; so, too,
fowls and pigeons find minute scraps
Of food, distinguishing them from
what appear to us exactly similar
pieces Of earth or gravel.
Young chickens are also able to
find their own food-knowing its po-
sition and how distant it is-as soon
as they are Matched, whereas a child
only very gradually learns either to
see or to understand the distance Of
objects,
Several birds 49, apparently the
young Of all those that nest on the
ground-can see quite well directly
they come out Of the shell, but the
young birds that nest on the trees or
on rocks are born blind and have to
be fed. Chambers Journal.

The Black Jack Inn.

A few days ago the ancient "hos-
telrie" familiar to readers of Dickens
as the "Black Jack, In Portsmouth
street, Clare Market, closed its doors
forever, as the entire block of build
ings surrounding it is about to be de-
molished. The "Black Jack" is the
house to which Sam Weller escorted
his master when that gentleman was
In search Of Lowton, Mr.. Perker's
clerk, on which occasion Mr.. Pick
wick heard the story of the queer
Client" related by the mysterious
lawyers clerk. The "Black Jack"
has for many years been a veritable
Mecca to the medical students who
have successfully braved the terrors
of the examination-room, for it was
customary for them to adjourn to its
hospitable bar and duly inscribe the
names of the fortunate medicos in a
register kept in the house for that
purpose. Among the signatures to
be seen are those Of James Paget and
Andrew Clarke, together with many
others who have since attained celeb
rity.
The death of the "Black Jack" adds
one more to the ghostly taverns
which have abounded in the immedi-
ate vicinity. The Spotted Dog"
the "Whlte Lion" of Jack Sheppard
notoriety, the "Bull's Head" where
Hogarth met his brother artists, and
the "5piller's Head" the Savage club
of those days, all stood within few
yards; while the "Angel," another
house, claims Immortality as being
the place whence in 1854 Bishop
Hooper was taken to meet his death
at Gloucester. At this inn, so late as
1919, a negro girl was sold. The
Public Advertiser, of March 2S, in
that year, had the following adver-
tisement: "To be sold, a black girl,
II years of age. Extremely hardy.
Works at her needle tolerably, and
speaks English we'll, Inquire of Mr..

THE report from actual observa-
tion that the English peers assem-
bled to reject the Irish home rule
bill revealed an astonishing array Of
imbeclle faces, human warts and ex-
crescences, with insanity and deprav-
ity the leading characteristics, will
prove a fine object lesson in heredi-
tary loadng, Inasmuch as their
actions were idotic, the cut of their
skulls, with retreating foreheads and
receding chins, is not to be wonder
ed at 1t is characteristic, too, Of
their hereditary faint that the only
object which could draw a full at
tendance of this debased class was
the forlorn hope Of perpetuating a
tottering tyranny. Darwin should
have lived to have seen this atavistlc
scene with the lordly mongrels of TO-
day barking back to the titled wolves
and foxes Of aforetime.

TIME assuredly will cure the Amer
lean plutocracy Of Its humble admir-
alton Of the aristocracy Of the old
world--lts envy OF the latter's VEN
cradle titles by whomsoever worn.
AS we become more civilized all
Americans will become more patriotic
--prouder Of the Republic whose
sane founders set up the bars against
royalty and orders OF nobility Our
plutocrats sigh for the gauds of rank
chiefly because they are unattainable
here, and the social show of Europe
has for the girls Of the plutocracy

a court scene on theater's stage.

There are lots Of farmers" he be-
gan, who think they can turn every
thing they touch into gold II they

where there's business going on.
Well, now, let me tell you that on an
average there was never bigger mis-
takein the world. You look around the
outskirts Of any village or city in the
State of Maine and see IL what l tell
you isn't true.
you'll find some good farmers liv.
ing close to the towns, but you'll find
o heap more Of men that farm a lit
tie, work out carpentering or in the

deal and don't amount In the end to
much Of anything anyway. I've
known lots of 'em Of Just that sort.

1t. But this edge of the village
business spoils them"

long-faced listener, "you talk pretty
well, but where ia your farm located"
"Oh, In the edge Of the village, of
course. 1t has spoiled me as we'll as

A Great Frenoh PatbolopIst.

Charcot's interest in the study Of
nervous diseases was so intense that
he came in time to regard all men,
even his friends, from a pathological
point of view. He was certain that
the unclean bent of Zola's mind was
due to neurosis, and he was not sure
that it did not prevail in Wagner's
music. He looked upon the German
Emperor as neuropath, and was
rather disappointed, perhaps as
much as a Frenchman as a
physician, that the Kaiser did
not become afflicted with general
paralysis. Charcot was ever on a
keen hunt for the brains of diseased
patients who interested him, and
when he learned of the death Of
Burg, a half-mad man of genius whose
career he had watched, his first ques-
tion was: what has been done with
his brain?" When informed that 1t
had been buried with the body he
cried out, "The monsterl" and then
added: at must have been rare
brain. There was a paralytic twitch
in Burq's face, such as 1 had never
seen. l longed to know how it origi-
mated" Charcot had many-sided
mind. He could use his pencil with all
the talent OF a great artist, and his
knowledge Of music was such that
his friends believed he could have be-
come great composer. New York

WITH the lake carrying trade at Its
lowest ebb and half the boats tied up
for lack of cargoes, the Seamens
Union has at last reached the conclu-
sion that vessel-owners cannot be
coerced into paying union men 81 a
day when hundreds of sailors are
willing to work for $3.50. 1t was
about time. The Seamen's Union
has gained for itself nothing but an
unenviable character for lawlessness
by Its summer campaign. Men have
been beaten and nonunion crews ter
rorized, but no benefit has resulted to
the union. On the contrary, the
smuggling tactics of the union men
have only made tlrmer the determi-
nation of the veSel-ownes to hire
whom they pleased. The edict has
now gone forth that men may ship at
whatever wages they can get, which
is the common sense plan. Supply
and demand regulate the wages OF
sailors as they do those of all other
classes of workers, and the union was
only kicking against the pricks when
it sought to nullify the laws of trade,

The country might well rejoice If
the optimistic view taken by factory
inspectors Of their duties and the re.
suits of their performance were we'll
founded. A number Of Chicago fac
tory inspectors are of opinion that
they have abolished the sweat shop.
The policeman with hoe might as
we'll claim to have abolished the
Canada thistle. The sweat shop Is a
sporadic growth, liable to break out
from time to time wherever con-
ditions exist favorable to its exist
ence. Poverty, especially poverty
among among women, and more par
ticularly among women Of foreign
birth and language, nurtures these
institutions at the roots, and no
police power or inspection is a check
upon unsanltary conditions and les
sening of social evils arising from
various causes. Eternal vigilance
will mitigate the sweat shop, but
cannot destroy 1t.

There is a pretty story told Of a
young physician of Washington who
was connected at one time with the
Emergency Hospital; it has caused
many a smile at his expense. He
had not been long stationed at the
hospital when a woman was brought
in suffering from severe scalp
wound. The blood were fast dyeing
her golden curls rusty red, and the
doctor was engaged in hastily clip
ping her hair, when his patient ex-
claimed, "Oh, Doctor, DON'T" Think

"Oh, never mind; that's all right"

with some wrath, "for you are cut

GERMANY, which a few years ago

at upwards Of 100000, begging from

many instances terrifying rural COM

and "Herberges," where, by a few
hours Of labor, the applicant may earn
q ticket which will entitle him to
food and lodging at this "herberge,"

IMMIGRANTS are continuing to come
to this country from all quarters.
Thus far, because Of special care I'M
der our new quarantine system, we
have escaped, and there is, perhaps,
no probability Of serious inroads
here; but, to avoid unnecessary risks,
we believe it would be wise policy to
suspend immigration temporarily.
The President has the authority to
do this under the quarantine act.
We certainly do not need the thou
sands of immigrants who come here
every month. Aside from the chol-
era danger, there is still an industrial
danger. The situation has improved,
indeed, but there are thousands o.
men out Of employment. 1t is our
