Prof Mendenhan,s Star. in Line.

Prof. Menbenhall the head of the
United States coast survey and scien-
fist of worldwide reputation, discovered
his special mental bent in curious way.
He was the son of farmer in Western
village. One day when he was about IA
years old, a man from another township
bought a COW of his father, who, not
wishing to be troubled with delivering
the animal himself, said, "My son, will
give you dollar to drive that COW to
X--for me.n
"How far is its" asked the boy.
TWENTY-FIVE miles by the road you
would have to take"
I he distance was long, but the dollar
looked big.
A bargain was struck on the spot, and
the next morning before daylight the
farmers son started on his Journey. He
reached his destination by night, very
tired; bnt before going to bed he hap
pened to notice, in corner of the sitting
room of the house in which he was to
lodge well-worn copy of Euclid y
A glance inside of the book fascinated the
youngster,. who sat up most of the night,
IN spite OF his days tramp, porting over
the angles and arcs, sines and tangents
He resolved he must have that book.
The next morning he said to the master
OF the house: What will you take for
your 'Euclid'?n
Suppose it's worth dollar" was the
an swer.
Down went youngs...Mendehall's hand
into his pocket, out came the dollar which
he had SO bravely earned, and the. next
minute he was the owner Of the book,
which he carried tenderly under his
arm as he trudged home. That was the
opening suggestion of career in science
Of which any man might be proud

once week the city was darkened with
burned fragments of notes. For future
purposes of reference the notes are left
for five years before being burned.
The number of notes coming into the
bank of England every day is about 50,-
900, and $4,000 are destroyed every week,
or something like $4,000, 900 every year.
The stock of paid notes for five years
is is ABOUT to q, 745, 600 in number, and they
by side would reach two and one-third
miles. If the notes were placed in a pile
they would reach to height of five and

would form ribbon IL, 455 miles long.

A Leading Mlnlster Resigns hls Past0rshlE
on Account Of the Briggs Verdict.
ScV YORK Tribune
The Rev, John S, Penman, pastor o.
the Presbyterian church at Iryington,
has resigned HE ~pastorahip because Of
his inability longer to subscribe to the
system OF doctrine of his church, He
was one OF the commissioners to the
general assembly held at Washington
and voted with the minority in favor OF
DR., Briggs.
The following letter to the conerega-
ton from Mr.. Penman explains his
reason for resigning his pastorship:
"There has never been u course OF
action that has cost me more pain than
that which l take this day in request
ing h epTesbytery to dissolve the pas
toral relation between us at its meeting
in October.
u am impelled to this action by my
fidelity to conscience and to the truth.
! am moved by no spirit OF haste, but
speak only after long deliberation and
earnest prayer. The recent action Of
our church in its judicial case has en-
phasized, but not determined my posi-
ton. My own Investigations during
the last four years have made II more
and more evident to me that | was
growing out OF sympathy with the sys-
tom OF doctrines us held by our church,
II had hoped up to the last general
assembly that the Presbyterian church
u,ouIJ Iaolarn iksolf In fave. oF DroUFauu
in doctrine and liberty of investigation.
But that hope is now shattered.
ut Ia not for mo to criticise this &C.
ton except in so lar as / believe it to be
necessary in ~vindicating the truth,
Whom each is faithful TO conscience,
| nothing but respect can be felt. II |
| appear to stand henceiorth in autago-
nism to the Presbyterian church it is an
antagonism to its system of truth and
not to men who proclaim it, l hold
that tho Bible contains the word of God.
| yield TO nonein my love and reverence
for it. l believe that tho Bible IL the
fountain OF divine truth which is able
to make men wise unto salvation and
bring them into touch with Him who is
the life and the light Of men.
Zone more word. 1t is with pain
and sorrow that l separate my life from
this church aud people. l must thank
you all for all the kindness and sym
pathy that you have extended to me in
the five years that have gone"
The Rev. Mr.. Penman is one OF the
most popular Presbyterian ministers
in Westchester county, He is a young
man and a student of high attain
ments. He was a warm supporter OF
DR.. Briggs in the trial. The pastor is
the son-in-law OF W.. Walter Law, Of
Yonkers. the millionaire carpet manu-
facturer, a partner OF W. & J.. Sloane.
MI. Penman presented the letter to his
congregation yesterday and has for.
warded his resignation to the general
assembly.
