IdOIators These.

For man to say with his heart there
is no God. 1t would mean that he wished
there were no God. An idolatrouS
heart was not right in the sight OF God.
A man who preferred anything to God
was an idolatOr. Il wonder what is
found in your hearts where God ought
to be? A person who does not seek God
with all his heart is an idolatOr. Some
say 81 think Christ existed, but l do
not think he was divine"
If a person cannot see Sublimity and
grandeur i'll everything of nature, his
heart is not right i'll the sight of God.
No man can believe in practical right
eousneSs and not believe Christ was
divine. When man desires TO be
right some law will bring him where he
must believe.
Christ said to Nicodemus. "You
must be born again." Nicodemus did
not understand, and it was illustrated
several times. Then he said that the
deeds of men were evil, but he that
cometh to the light his deeds were right
III the sightof God. AS long as man
desires to do. wrong, he cannot believe
in Christ. the man who desires to
work righteousness must come to the
light of God, but otherwise he cannot.
A heart that is not right Ill the sight of
his fellowmen, is not right in the sight
of God. If man does not love his
bro tler, whom he has seen, how can he
love God whom he has not seen?
l have seen people who had rather
stay in darkness than have this light
given them. You may have been a
teacher in the Sunday school, a member
of the Bible class or a church member,
but if you are not willing to forgive
everything you are loSt-soul. Any
soul that can forgive is on the road to
heaven. He'll is in every soul not will
ing to forgive all injury. A

THE suLTAN's WATCH.
Story of a Trick Performed by Herman
 Before His Majesty.

Story of a Trick Performed by Hermann
 Before His Majesty. "While on board the sultan's yacht" writes Hermann in the North Amer ican Review, II noticed that he had a magnificent watch, which he consulted and handled as if it were the apple of his eye. This, of course, was good thing for me, for, since I was perform ing before him personally, it was not etiquette to take anything from the audience. asked the sultan to take out his watch and show it to mo, which he did. I then said: Will your i'm perial majesty allow me to throw the watch overboard?'
 He laughed at first, but second afterwards his brow darkencd, and he looked a little bit as if he were of fended with me for making the re- quest.
 "'If,' said I, I do not return the watch to you exactly as you give it to me, you can put me in irons for the rest of my life.
 "The sultan looked me in the eye with a piercing glance and then handed the watch to me. I instantly threw it into the rippling waves of the Bos- porus.
 "The yacht careened over, for every individual, from the cabin boy to the sultan himself, rushed to the side and looked overheard after the watch.
 II felt that if anything went wrong with this trick I certainly should be put in irons; but called for a fishing line, and, instead of showing any anxiety, at once proceeded to do lit tie fishing. Everyone looked at me, not so much with astonishment as with pure disbelief in my ability to recover the watch, which was not only one of the things in the world the sultan liked, but was worth a great deal | more than any watch had ever seen
 Fortune favored my fishing, for in a few minutes I drew up a sinner on my hook, and landed it safely on the deck. I brought it before the sultan | took out my pocketkuifc, ripped ii open, and presented the watch to his majesty in it's original perfect con | dition.
 Turks, as rule, are not vcry | demonstrativc, and I found in after life that to make q Turk laugh heartily is impossible. They smile, look pleased and with their daintily-pointcd nails pick their boards; but on this occasion every Turk, from the sultan and his bluebloodcd pashas to the sailors in the forccastlc, sent mp one howl of de | light"
 MT. Hermann does not tell how the trick was done, but that is his own affair.

ARRoT FURNISHES PROOF.

How a Young Iowa Police omcer Induced
 wIfe-Murderer to ConfesG.
 "When I was sheriff out in Iowa was a spectator of the unexpected manner in which justice sometimes works its way" said a resident of Kan sas City to a Detroit Free Press re- porter. "Therc was in our little com munitY a rather tough citizen, Bill Bun son, who worked occasionally and passed the rest of the time either with the boys or in making life burden for his poor wife. Everyone thought Bill a bad man, but one day when his wife was discovered murdered the entire community was mortified. was among the first to visit the house. In the sit ting-room where the murder took place was a parrot, and as we began our examination the bird kept repeat ing:
 "'Don't kill me, Bill. Think of all have stood! Think of all have been! Don't kill me"
 We found Bill in one of the saloons, and, as we supposed, he had an alibi all ready. Three or four scoundrels were ready to swear he had been play ing cards all night. Well, Bill was ar
 
 evidence? There was a young man on the police force, who said: Let me talk to Bill and see if can't get con- fession out of him. Witnesses were placed near at hand, and the young man entered the cell. Hello, Billv he said.
 "'Hello! said the other, in a surly manner, when are you going to let me out of here?
 Not very soon.' "'What do you mean? You can't prove anything. I've got my wit ncsses.'
 "'They are no good, Bill. We have our witnesses
 "'I don't believe it
 "'Hcs, sir; and they saw you do the job
 The man sprang to his feet with a terrible oath. "'You licv he said. "'No, don't lie and can prove it.. The witnesses were two tramps, and | they looked through the window and saw the job. They are ready to swear to it
 Bill gave n sneering and profane response. l Listen 10 me moment, Blll, and then see if am lying. I will tell you just how you did it, and just what hap l pcncd.'
 With that he began his story. He had examined the scene carefully and surmised great deal. That every de- tail was correct he could tell by the prisoners manner.
 "'When you raised your knife, Bill, l can tell you the exact words of your wife and just how she acted. With that he repeated many words which no one but an actual spectator could have known. This was done in a dramatic manner, and the murderers eyes ex. pressed the most abject fear.
 "'DOn't! Don't" he shouted. It is true. I killed her. I will make a statement of the fact, although may hang
 His statement was taken. When he learned how he had been trapped he went to the gallows with n curse or his lips against those who had con trivcd the little scheme"

Converting Sinners In Russia.

The Russian method of dealing with refractory heretics isuniquc in this age of the world. If one of the czar's sub jects is charged with holding to an unOr- thodox religious faith, he k visited and ordered to convert himself to the Greek church within q given time. An i'm perial ukase issued ill the spring gave the heretics two months to change their theology. If, when the time prescribed has arrived, the accused has not vet had himself converted tu the true faith, then he is pronounced outlawcd.
 To be outlawrd is something not com monly understood i'll America. If an imperial ukuSr has pronounced q man and his family outlaws. II means literal ly what the word indicates. It means that his nelshhors may rob him. seize and bind him and carry off all bis goods may drive him from his home and take possession of it themselves as the Eng fish sparrow does the blurhird; they may even beat him almost to death. strip the very clothes off his back. and ht, can have no redress, for he has been formally pronounced beyond the pale of the protection of the law. If th, out lawed man should be nurIyr,d I.u no tice would be taken of il, for h. would no longer be q Russian citizen. Tho>,. pious, tender hearted suuls, tine ylnIrr"r of Russia and his cabinet, rccognizc nu man as a Russian citizen who does not belong t0 the Greek church
 Under the circumstances, when man has been warned by imperial uknso that he must be converted, the best thing he can do is to be converted very quickly or else get out of Russia even more quickly.

An Insect Which SlauGhterS Potato Hugs
 to the Point of E1termination.
 At last a bug has arrived which is n friend of the farmer. This stranger of the insect world is not only a friend, but it has begun q war of cxtermina- ton upon the farmers most relentless foe, the potato bug. The debut of this little beast has sent a thrill of iov from one end of Bcrks county, Pa, to the other. No more paris green to sprinkle upon potato tops, no more poisoned meal to feed the pests, and no more crops devoured in midsummer by the hungry hordes of potato bugs John Rothcrmel, of Hyde Park, first encountered this noble little ally of the agriculturist and tells Philadel- phia Record man that when he first saw the insect it was slaughtering po- tato bugs at the rate of ten a minute
 The genial hotel proprietor and farmer had paris green kettle in his hand at the time. He stopped sprink- ling and gazcd. Before him was a bug of q species never seen by the Bcrl
 people bcfSrc. It was twice as large ns potato bug, of longer and slighter build, and had red wings. This bug would bounce upon a clumsy potato eater, sting it in the neck, and produce corpse almost instantly. Then Rothermel looked about and saw other creatures of the same kind, and all were killing potato bugs. So fierce and untiring were they in their onslaught that not living potato bug was left in their path. They piled the ground with little winrows of their slain victims. They went down rows of potato vines and from one row to another with N force that was ire | sistiblc to the potato bug. The lat
 ter were swept to death before their strange foe as Napoleon's columns | cleared the field of Austerlitz. Since | Mir. Rothcrmel made this important | discovery other farmers have seen the new bugs in their fields They are ab- solute eXtcrminators of potato bugs and, best of all, they do not eat the crop. Farmers not yet visited by
 these new allies will colonize them in
 their potato patches. It is expected
 that this bug will have the effect of
 producing big yield of potatoes

ANOTHER week has gone by and yet congress has not prepared a remedy for the financial distress engendered by the republican silver legislation. The slow progress made, while disappointing in hoped-for results, has still more encour- aging signs. Great pressure is brought to bear, from all sections of the country, on the Washington solons, to hurry up their action and bring into legal ex- istence the expected measure of relief, Faint and yet definite signs of improve ments are all the better because they come from the sound common sense and the wonderful recuperative power of the people themselves. Business is try ing to go ahead-without waiting for Washington. Many concerns are failing or closing; but assumptions are now be coming somewhat frequent; and in the very shrinkage of production business men see the evidence that demands must soon overtake supplies-if it has not already done so.

Foot and FAthom.

The foot" is named from the length of that member in a full-grown man Some say it was so called from the length of the foot of certain English king, but it is believed to have been a standard of measurement among the ancient Egyptians The cubit is from the Latin cubitus, an elbow, and is the distance from the elbow to the end of the middle finger. Fathom is from tho Aryan fat, to extend, and denotes the distance from tip to tip of the fingers when the arms of an average-sized man are fully extended

Has Its Good Points.

In some villages in Japan robbers are tried and convicted by ballot Whenever q robbery is committed the ruler of the hamlet summons the en- tire male population and requests them to write on a slip of paper the name of the person they suspect as having committed the crime. The one receiving the largest number of ballots is declared duly elected" and is ac- cordingly hung. This system, like all others, has its peculiar advantages. It insures the punishment of somebody for every crime committed, whereas under the system in vogue in most civ ilized countries in nine cases out oi ten no punishment is inflicted on any. body for the crime. Of course, they may not "elect" the guilty person, but dispose of some other character equally as bad. There is much in the system to commend it to other nations.

THE Polish and Russian tailors who took possession of two halls in New York last week, and came in contact with the police, were impelled to acts of disorder by demagogues because of lack of work and means to support their families. They are an excitable, UT reasoning element, possessing little real knowledge of this country and its insti- tutions, and many of them are inspired by socialistic and anarchic notions. They are willing to work if they can get it, but they are under the impression that it is the governments function to support the people, instead of the peo- ple's to support the government. When the present financial furry shall have passed confidence will be restored, and there will be little incentive for labor riots,

THEY LOVE LOCALITY.
French Canadian Settlers In the New Eu
 gland District

French Canadian Settlers In the New Fin.
 gland District
 n Is perfectly evident that the French Canadians are coming with the inten- tion of remaining in this country. At first they came for a seasons work in the bricl-yards, on the farms, or in the lumber camps When they began to find employment in the factories, their stay was necessarily longer. Even then, however, they hoped to return in a few years, and many of them realized their expectations Most of these had come for the purpose of earning enough money to pay off incumbrances on their farms, to get even with the world There were very few of them in the earlier days of the immigration who did not expect to return to their old home in the course of time. The love of the French Canadian for his home is intense. It is the characteristic of his race. He and his kind across the Sca cling to barren ancestral acres. al though they know of no art by which they can be made fruitful They love the land on which they and their ante cedents were born, and they love their relations and the neighbors among whom they were reared. Their reliE- ion. customs, manners, language, are all dearer to them than are similar ties to the men and women of Teutouic blood The French Canadian loves Quebec because it is French. When the colony was founded, his attach mcnt to the new land was the more quickly formed because his nciEhbors also came from the pleasant orchards, farms and towns of Normandy and Brit tany. Their parishes and their lakes and rivers were named from their patron saints. In time the love of the trans planted Frenchmen for Quebec came to be as passionate as that which ami mated the hearts of those who re mained at home for the land from which Louis had sent forth his colon iStS.
 It was with great reluctance that any of the French Canadians contcm- plated the permanent abandonment of their old homes. They came to New | England to repair the ravagcs that | time and hard conditions had wrought in their patrimonies- They confident | ly expected to be able to return in a few years to dwell in plenty in the land from which they had been ex- | pcllcd by the strenuous compilations ot poverty. But time and prosperity
 have wrought changes. The French Canadian k more content with New | England than he was Many thou sands of his compatriots have joined | him He has them for his neiEhhors. | They work by his side in the factory. | He buys his food and drink from men | of his own race. His parish priest is | French. He hears and speaks his nA-
 tive tongue. He iS no longer depend
 ent on what seemed 10 him the cold
 hospitality of the native New -Englan nd
 CTS He Is no longer exposed to tn, | jcalousies of the people of his own
 faith and of other tongues Tho | French Canadian in New England i~
 happy Instead of thinking of return
 ing to Quebec, he is inviting his rcla
 tives and neiEhbors to come ia him

How He Reconstructed Ancient Buildings
 Into the Modern Fon;alncbIeau.
 The modern Fontaineblcau dates from the gallant knight errant Francis I. A giant among his courtiers, a graceful horseman, an expert wrestler, deXtcrous swordsman, Francis was hailed as the glass of fashion and the mirror of chivalry, says the Edinburgh Review. Succeeding to the throne at moment when the young nobility of France was wcaricd of the economies of "Le Bon Roi Louis nouzc," he en- joycd the means as well as the oppor- tunity of indulging his love of lavish display. Deeply read in chivalric TO- manccs, he had framed to himself an ideal of a lnightly king, and, in the opinion of his tlattcrcrs, he united the love of glory and hiEhbrcd courtesy of Roland with the virtues of the most constant of lovers, Armadis de Gaulc.
 It was Francis and tho brilliant Plciad of artists whom he gathered around him who were the true creators of the modern FontaincblCau. Every where his salamandcr appears upon the walls, ceiling and woodwork, C0mmcm- orating the victories of the king -tO whom had yielded tho bear of the Swiss, the eagles of the Germans, the | snake of Milan.
 ''Ursus atroN. aquilUluc leyes ct toruIlis anEuls Cesserunt hanmU Jam, SalamandrA tua, " It was Francis l. who reconstructed the ancient buildings and added ten | fold to their extent and decorative | splcndor. Vast sums of money were | expended on the palace which he called ''mon Fontainehleau," his beloved "Cher Moi" and which was now trans formed from frudal castle into la vraie maison dcs Eois," to quote tho words of Napoleon l., la dcmcurc dc | sieclcs,"
 All the forces which had revolution. ized society were reflected in tn, changes effected at Fontaineblcau
 Italian influences, grace and refine
 ment of manners, reverence for classic al antiquity-evcrything, in short, that
 inspired the renaissance movement are imprinted on the style and the form of the architecture and the decoration
