wholesome sign that the once-despised
Salvation Army has been recognized,
not only as worthy, but as a superior
representative of aggressive Christiani-
ty. And when the same courage and
conservation possess those who live in
palaces the slums will speedily be re-
deemed.
~ The executive in Christianity must,
however, always rest upon the expert
mental No human effort at consecra-
ton will keep the fires OF true religion
burning in our hearts.
The church that would save the
world must keep constantly and
vitality in touch with Christ The
very fact that Fast Day is declining, as
proof that it is needed The people OF
America are not at present taking things
very seriously. 1t is an era of prosperl-
ty. Amusement is the occupation of the
hour. In many a home where Christ's
name is named social pleasure supplants
interest in prayer and in any form OF
practical Christian work. Suffering hui
mainly will never be redeemed from it's
miseries by iabby, self-indulgent piety.
Religion must not be gloomy or austere,
but it must be heroic. Self denial is
is born of love for souls. We as repre-
sentatives of redeeming grace must have
more OF the heroism of Calvary, more
iron IN the blood, less of the timid and
self-lndulgent spirit. We need, in the
strength of God, to brace ourselves for
conflict and heroic achievement. Every
| member of the visible church ought to
go to work. Conversion means the con-
version of every faculty of soul and
body. If it does not regulate and conse-
crate the use of mans property it is
not true conversion. If it does not COM
mand a large proportion Of his thought
and effort and prayer, it has in it moth
heaven for the redemption of earth.
There is no inherent reason why the
manifold evils in our cities should long
continue History is to be consummated
in a metropolis. The country will then be
merged in the city. Isolation is not
conducive to the highest good. The adj
vantages and joys of Heaven will come
from the massing of multitudes which
no man can number. The security and
felicity of the Celestial city result from
the exclusion of evil. s'There shall in
no wise enter into it anything that def
eth or worketh abomination or maketh a
lie.''
These conditions will exist on earth
when believers in a supernatural redemp-
ton live the life AID co the works of the
redeemed.

Mr.. Thomas Horribly Of kingsthorpe,
near northampton, has just received at
his residence from neutrality-suspicious.
the whole of the Shakespearean relics
formerly in the possession Of his grand
mother, Mary Horribly, who was the oc-
cupant of Shakespeares birthplace from
1893 to 1920. Mary Horribly, who is pic
turesquely described in Washington r.
wings "Sketchbook," removed from
Shakespeare's house in consequence of
the rent being raised from e10 to $40 per
annum. She took with her to her new
house, almost opposite, nearly every
think that it was possible to remove, in
GLIDING the locks Of the doors and the
fire CRATE. There she exhibited them for
number of years, but after her death
nothing was seen Of them until they ar
rived at Northampton on the decease of
descendant of Mary Horribly, by whom
they were devised to Mr.. Hornby of
Northampton.
They include five carved oak chairs,
one Of them being that which Washing
ton Irving said required new bottom
every three years; two large carved
oaken chests, portions Of a carved bed
stead, carved table and other furniture,
fire CRATE and fire dog, all contemporary
with Shakespeare, and said to have been
his private property. There were also
such personal relics as an iron sword,
lantern, iron deed box, all reputed to
have been owned by the poet.-Exchange.

1t Bears Evil to Him Who DisrespectfuIIy
Talks of Spirits.
When Darius /, according to Herodo-
tus, wished to erect his statue near that
of Rameses II (Sesostris), the priests OBJ
jected on the ground that Sesostris was
greater conqueror than he. The statue
in question was one of several erected
before the temple of Ptah at Memphis,
on the borders of the sacred lake where
is now the village of Bedreshein. After
Memphis became Christian the renown
of it's monuments died away, and when
it persisted the stones were removed to
serve in building Cairo One colossus
remained to our day, it having been pre-
served under the sand, AMI on being I'M
earthed by Caviglia at the beginning of
the century was found to represent Sc
sostris in his youth.
This colossus has been visited by most
tourists in Egypt. 4 ley on the sands
near the palm Of Dcd-cshein in hollow
or ditch and was covered with water
during the inundation. The remains of
the temple might be traced along the
lake, which is still represented by de-
preston in the ground covered with
wheatfields. OF late years General Ste
phenson and Major Bagnold, R. E., have
excluded the waters from the colossus,
raised it on timber supports above the
ground and surrounded it by brick
wall. On payment of, 2 piasters, how
ever, it can be seen by the curious.
M Maspero, the great Psychologist,
relates in a French contemporary that
the Arabs had formerly great awe of
this, which they called About Hol, the
father of fright" as they do the Sphinx.
The ancient Egyptians, he assures us,
believed that statues, divine or human,
were animated by spirit or double"
detached from the soul Of the person
they represented. This double ate,
drank and spoke or delivered oracles.
In later times the double was credited
with playing evil tricks ON those who
approached the statue and even with
killing them. His power could be de-
stroyed by breaking the statue, or at
least the features; hence it is that SO
many statues Of the pharaohs have been
muUllaLed by the Arabs.
The spirit Of Rameses Il was supposed
to haunt the palms at night, and M.
Maspero relates that every time he
passed by in the evening toward dusk
the driver of his ass would mutter his
prayers and hurry on his beast. One
evening M. Maspero asked him if he
was afraid of some ''afrite," and the
driver begged him not to speak Of such
things or some harm would befall him.
Presently M. Maspero was thrown from
the ass in the middle Of the wood, and
the incident was regarded by the driver
as a punishment for his not speaking
respectfully of the spirit in the statue.
Egypt is full of such superstitions dat
ing from the far past.-Rural Collabo-

AN IMPORTANT OFFICE.
The United States Treasurer Gives Heavy

The United States Treasurer Gives Heavy
Bonds and Has Great Responsibilities.
Daniel Nash Morgan of Bridgeport,
Conn, has succeeded Enos Ell. Nebeker
Of Covington, Ind, as treasurer of the
United States, and his assistant is Con-
rad N. Jordan, who was once succeeded
as treasurer by the man whom Nebeker
succeeded. Verify, it is a time of over
turning and returning, so it is quite in
keeping that Conrad N. Jordan, ap-
pointed United States treasurer on April
%, 1885, should eight years later be
made assistant treasurer.
The new treasurer, Mr.. Morgan, is
about so years old and is one of the lead
ing citizens of his state. He has been
mayor of Bridgeport three terms, has
served in the legislature and for ten or a
dozen years past has been president of a
national bank. His present place is one
for which great experience is a needed
qualification, for so far as mere money
obligation goes it is really the most re-
sponsible Office Of the government.
Even the assistant treasurer, who is
scarcely more than lieutenant to his
chief, has to give bond for 100000.

how to swim ceased swimming and fought
with the waters. Men clutched each
other In frenzy and struck each other off.
One man who escaped says that he saw
on this great vortex at least fifty of his
fellows fighting with each other and with
inevitable death. In a moment or 30 the
knives disappeared and the vortex began
to close up. ..
The ship was beneath the surface just
as the whirl was Swallowed almost to the
surface. Then there was q muf8ed sound
of thunder, the waters were tossed up
and steam burst from them. Again
shrieks and screams burst from the swim
mers. The boilers had exploded, the sea
had rushed into the furnaces and the
swimmers were beating waves of scalding
water.
With the first under plunge Of the Vic
toria all the boats were called away from
all the other ships and came strainipg over
the sea to save the strugglers.
These boats were soon picking up those
who had got out of reach of the vortex.
So long as the vortex was there the boats
dared not venture near, but they did lift
from the scalding water several wretched
sailors, who were horribly burned. It la
thought that more than half OF those
drowned got out of the ship but were

Admiral Tryon refused to leave the
bridge. Just before the Victoria made her
under plunge he saw what was about to
happen and issued an order for each man
to save himself, but the order never got
beyond the bridge, for ruin descended
straiahtway.
The diver whom he had ordered below
to look into the damage was still on deck
and dressed for his descent except his he'll
met. He would have been dragged to the
bottom by his heavy lead-weighted shoes
had it not been for seaman, who stopped
to cut him loose from his heavy clothes.
The diver was saved, but the man who cut
him free was drowned.
There were many acts Of hsroism, self
forgetfulness and daring. The peril Of
those in the water was increased by the
fact that the sea heresbouts Ia infested
with sharks.
It is the duty of the marines when q
collision occurs to go below and close all
the watertight compartments. When the

went below for their duty and as a result
