Young Giri's TnherItanee,

Florence Mason, a charming brunette Oi
about IL years of age, has suddenly and un
expectedly become an heiress to $4,000 ol
100000 The young girl is the daughter Of
John Mason, a respectable business man OF
this city. To the death Of Bacilio Argires
a Greek on q small island in the AdriatiC
sea, Miss Mason is indebted for her wealth
Many years ago Mr.. Argires came to this
country and became intimate with the Ma
sons, who were then very well to do. Flor
ence at that time was not born. Years
later, when oyertaken by business reverses
and mourning the death "a his wife, Mr.
Mason was again visited by Bacilio Ar.
gires' brother and his wife. The husband
died, leaving a helpless invalid in his wife,
who formed strong attachment for Flor
ence.
Upon her death Mrs. Argires bequeathed
the bulk of her estate to the young girl,
who had soothed her dying hours, but sub
sequent investigation showed that the es-
tate, after the payment of some bequests,
was exhausted. Miss Mason in consequence
received nothing, but two weeks ago she
was surprised by letter from TIE Greek
consul informing her that she had been left
an estate in Greece. BaciliO Argires. had
died on the island of Corfu, and not know
ing that his brother was dead had left all
Of his money to him. By the death of bis
brother the estate passed to his wife and in
turn to Florence, Francisco Chronicle.

40 was rull, tney drew TO snore ana sat
down and gathered the good in the vessel,
but cast the bad away So shall it be at
the end of the world-the angels shall come
forth and separate the wicked from the
just"
Yes, the fishermen think it best to keep
the useful and worthless Of the haul in the
same net until it is drawn upon the beach,
and then the division takes place, and If it
is on Long Island coast the mossbankers
are thrown out and the bluefish and shad
preserved, or if it is on the shore Of Galilee
the fish classified as siluroids are hurled
back into the water or thrown up on the
bank as unelean, while the perch and the
carp and the barbel are put into pals to be
carried home for use.
So in the church on earth, the saints ana
the hypocrites, the generous and the mean,
the chaste and the unelean, are kept in the
same membership, but at death the divi-
sion viii bemade, and the good will begath-
cred into heaven, and the bad, however
many holy communions they may have
celebrated, and however many rhetorical
prayers they may have offered, and how
ever many years their names may have
been on the church rolls, will be cast away.
God forbid that any of us should be among
the 'cast awayln But may we do our
work, whether small or great, as thorough
ly as did that renowned fisherman, George
w. Bethune, who spent his summer rest
angling in the waters around the Thou
sand Isles and beating at their own craft
those who piled it all the year, and who |
the rest of the time gloriously preached |
Christ in pulpit only 10 minutes from
where I now stand, and ordering for his /
own Obsequies: Put on me my pulpit |
gown and bands, with my own pocket /
Bible in my right hand. Bury me with my |
mother, my father and my grandmother. |
Sing also my own hymn;
Jesus thou prince Of lifel
Thy chosen cannot die;
Like thee, they conquer in the strife,
To reign with thee on high"

Little Edith, 'five-year-old daughter,
whose behavior is not always the best the
market affords, has been full Of excitement
over the cold weather and skating pres
poets. She went to her mother a day or
two ago begging for a pair Of skates, to
which request the reply was given that
the skates should be got if she would try
to be good girl, not Just for today, Edith, y
said her mother, who thought she saw an
opportunity, but for every day"
Edith's black eyes snapped. "Yon can

With the record of the past to study we
have reasonable ground for believing that
men will grow wiser, better and purer in
the years to come; that our perception of
human rights will be more acute as the
field of view grows wider and our vision
becomes clearer through knowledge; that
the common veal will be the chief end OF
government, the ballot of the poor will be
counted and the popular will will be law;
that women will share with men all the
duties of citizenship, land tenure will be
uniform, the dramshop extinct, war abol-
ished and the people sovereign.
We are many times deceived by what we
BEE because we see so little. We vince and
groan under the exactions Of wealth COM
bined, yet in combination lies the highest
form of exertion. Self love is the greatest
of civilizing forces, yet the trend of life is
upward. In promoting the comfort of 9th
ers we find the richest sources of reward.
While private monopoly in manufactures,
transportation and banking has shown the
power of organized avarice to rob labor and
oppress the poor, multiplicity of inventions,
variety of modes and eXpertness in applicar
tion have wonderfully increased the eff
cheney of labor, diminished the cost of pro
duction and added much to the comforts OF
men. Steam and electricity have conquered
space and time, commerce brings the ma,
lions together and intelligence simplifies
trade. Thought is taking from religion its

repellent mysteries and association de

So far will we have gone In 1903 that all o'
North America will be under one govern
ment, managed by council consisting of a
few men. Our great lakes and rivers will
pour their waters through numberless chan
nels for easy carriage of heavy things. The
people will own and manage all instru-
ments of commerce, every means for sup
plying public needs, all sources of fuel sup
ply and all unused lands. Lines of traffic
will be Strengthened and highways i'm
proved, speed increased and safety secured;
men will navigate the air and smoke will
be suppressed.
Motion will supply light, heat and power,
and there will be no waste of fuel; money
changers will be shorn of their power, for
then money will be made of cheap and
abundant material and limited to its proper
uses; there will be no usury nor mortgages
the year of jubilee will have come; large
landed estates will have disappeared, one
acre of arabic land will support one person;
justice will be dealt to all alike and taxa
tion will be limited to natural sources of
livelihood-as land and water; the time of
daily toll will be shortened to four or five
hours; all willing hands will be employed
and effort will be ease.
Onward and upward will move the null
tiplying millions of earth, impelled by indi-
vidual selfshness to minister to one an
others wants till trade is free and mems
leading ambition will be to serve one an
other. Then the nations will be one strikes
will be unknown and poverty forgotten.
Great private fortunes will become historic,
for men will have learned the art of just dis
tribution, and there will be enough for all

Professor Briggs on Sunday Newspapers


From Our New York Correspondent
Professor Briggs does not care to say
much about the results of what is called
the higher criticism upon religious thought
in the next century, although it is known
that he believes that before many years
have passed accurate scholarship, exhaust
i've research and intelligent criticism will
be welcomed as an aid rather than a him
drance to religious development. There is
one thing, however, about which Professor
| Briggs has spoken to your correspondent
freely, and that is the power Of the press He
said:
/ have learned since the proceedings in
which my writings have been involved to
realize more than ever did before what
the power and influence of the newspaper
press are. have found that its desire is to
report great events in the religious as well
as other fields of activity fully and with
accuracy, and | have no doubt that this
tendency will continue. If it does, the in
stitution is to have greater influence in the
future than in the past
But | have been especially interested in
the development of the Sunday press,
which is comparatively recent At first
was prejudiced against it, and would not
permit any reading of these Sunday news
papers. Whether it is regrettable or not,
now realize that the Sunday press is per-
manent institution; that thousands of re-
ligious people recognize and approve it, and
that it can be made power for vast good.
My hope and belief is that in the next
century it will be cultivated by persons of
| high character and be made one of the en-
gines for the dissemination of religious and
moral truths and information, so that per
sons of such inclination can rely upon it for
