Confidence Reeets Confidence,

Mr.. Porte-Veine, the registrar, had a
hump as large as the late Mr.. Lagar-
deres. Baron Arthur, on the other
hand, is an Israelite of the most pro-
nounced type, and any one who doubts
need only look at his features Now the
baron and the registrar met at Nice,
where they became fast friends. When
the hour of departure struck, they 1nu-
tually expressed a wish for continu-
ance of the pleasant acquaintanceship
after their return to Paris. But Baron
Arthur has scruple. In these days of
anti-Semitic agitation he would not for
worlds impose on the good nature of his
new friend. Just before stepping into
the carriage he delivered himself as fol-
lows:

PATIENCE.

Be patient! Easy words to speak
When plenty fills the cup OF HE,
While health brings roses to the cheeK.
And far removed are care ana Str1e.
Falling so glibly from the tongue
Of th0Se-I often think OF this
Whom suffering has never wrung,
Who scarcely know what patience Is.
Be patient! when the suff'rer lies
PROSTATE beneath some fell disease,
And longs, through torturing agonies
Only for one short hour of ease.
Be patient! when the weary brain
Is racSed with thought and anxious care
And troubles in an endless train
Seem almost more than 1t can bear.
To feel the torture of delay,
The agony of hope deferred;
To labor still from day to day.
The prize unWon, the prayer unheard.
And still to hope and strive ana wait
The due reward OF fortunes kiss;
This is to almost conquer fate,
This is to learn what patience is.
Despair mott though the clouds are dark,
And storm and danger veil the sky;
Let fate and courage guide thy barque.
The storm will pass, the port is nigh.
Be patient, and the tide will turn,
Shadows will flee before the sun;
These are the hopes that live and burn
To light us till our work is done.
All the Year Round.

SYRIAN TEXT OF THE GOSPEL.
What DIR. Cyrus Adler Says of Professor
Harris's Discovery on Mount Sinai.

Much interest has been excited among
scholars in Washington by the cablegram
saying that Prof. Fendel Harris of Cam
bridge had reported to Professor Nestle
at Tubingen, that he had discovered in
the convent on Mount Sinai palimpsest
containing the complete Syrian text Of the
four gospels. They unite in declaring
that it is impossible to estimate the value
of the find, should the palimpsest prove
to be what it is described.
''The gospels" said DR.. Cyrus Adler
of the Smithsonian institution, lit is be-
lieved were originally written in a dialect
current in Palestine and especially in
Galilee, mixture of the Hebrew and
Syriac. We know that it was not pure
Hebrew, from the presence Of such ex-.
pressions as the one Christ used on the
cross, 'Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabacthani' my
God, my God, why hast thou forsaken
me?) which is Of Syrian origin. So.ever
since the modern search for sources of
the Scriptures began it has been directed
in part to the discovery of what was be-
Heved to be this original text of the Cos
POio.
its value and Importance cannot easily be
estimated. The common version is from
the Greek translations of the original.
Professor Harris, whom know quite
well,' continued DR.. Adler, lis particu-
larly well qualified to judge of the au-
thenticity and value of such discovery.
and if, indeed he has reported the find
ing of the original text, know he means
what he says. He has heretofore demon
strated the soundness of his Judgment in
these matters. Professor Harris is some
thing of an American. in fact most of his
educational work has been done in the
United States. He was an instructor in
Johns Hopkins university for a time, and
then went to Haverford college to fill the
chair of Biblical literature. He retained
his fellowship in Cambridge university,
however, and spent a portion of each
year in study there. He is easily the
second Greek scholar of the country, his
reputation being overshadowed only by
that of Gregory. He has made several
trips to the East searching for antique
manuscript, and on one Of them found in
Egypt the apoca lypse Of Peter"

The Age of Our Presidents.
[st. Louis Globe Democrat. !

~
Judge Gresham, perhaps with the view
of showing the country that he has no
designs on the Presidency, says that he
has reached the time of life when politi-
cal ambition is beginning to lose its grip
on him. He is about 81 years of age at
the present time. On Inauguration day
in 1897, he will, if alive be 65 years old.
Very few Presidents had reached that
period of life on taking office. George
Washington, who is generally supposed
to have been well on in years when he
entered the Presidency, was really only 81.
or four years younger than Gresham is
at present. John Adams, who, at death.
was the oldest of all the ex-Presidents.
was 81 when he was inaugurated: or
only year beyond Gresham's age now.
while Jefferson, Madison, Monroe. the
second Adams, Van Buren,, Tyler, Polk.
Fillmore, Lincoln, johnson, Hayes, Ar
thur and Harrison were in their ss5Os'' or
from two to eleven years the junior of
Gresham. On entering the White House
Pierce and Garfield were 40, Cleveland
was As and Grant47. The average age
of Presidents has been smaller in the
past half century than it was in the early
half. Only four Presidents have passed
the age of go when taking office. These
were jackson, who was 81, the first Har-
rison 6s. Taylor 65, and Buchanan 6S.
Harrison and Taylor died in office. Har
rison and Buchanan were the only Presi-
dents who were older on going to the
White House than Gresham will be on
the day that the President chosen in
1896 will be inaugurated.

For amonth past the Argus has been
shouting at the top of its voice that if
Mr.. Baxter was elected Mayor no Irish
man could apply for any position within
his gift with any hope of success. No
sooner is Mr.. Baxter elected and an Irish
man along with many other persons
presented by his friends for position
than the Argus singles out this Irishman
for special assault, attacking him editori-
ally and through the medium of an anoy-
nous communication, written, we very
strongly suspect, by another Irishman. This
is good illustration of the way the Dem
ocratic party always treats Irishmen who
manifest any sort of independence. AS
long as they cling to the Democratic
party they are coddled, but the moment
they show the slightest tendency to
break away from that organization the
kicking of them begins.

A Peculiar Paper.

Ink erasers Of all kinds are regarded
with suspicion in many public of1ces,
and it is not many months since the
use Of an effective INCREASING solution
which has BEEN introduced into one or
the public departments of New YORK
city was forbidden by a special man
date from the mayor. 1t Is held tnat
quite enough men are already LED
astray by the facility with which the
figures of books Of account can be ma
nipulated, and any thing which makes
the erasure of legitimate records is
operating against the interests of So
ciety. Quite in line with this distrust
of ink erasers is the apprehension with
which the news of the invention of a
paper from which ink writing may be
erased with a moist sponge has been
received in Germany. The prevalent
feeling in regard to the invention is in
Dictated by the fact that it has not only
been refused a patent, but it's manu-
facture and sale has been declared un-
lawful. The product bears the appear
anc Of ordinary paper and is made of
the same ingredients, with the addition
of asbestos and parchment glue. After
being rolled the pulp is immersed for
q few seconds in concentrated sulphuric
acid, diluted with 10 OR Is per cent Of

glass rollers and passed successfully
through water, ammonia solution, and
a second time through water. 1t is

The greatest novelty in cooking ap-

the apparatus for cooking by electricity,
shown in operation in the gallery Of the

attached to specially constructed ovens,
broilers, griddles, flatirons, etc. An or

are comfort and convenience, but claims
