Those OF our clergymen who preach upon
secular topics, whether the topic be political.
or financial. or diplomatic. or mercantile. or
industrial. or fashionable-let US say. for ex-
ample. that 1t is the recent elections. or the
silver coinage question. or the Behrlng Sea

Lehigh strike or the Brazilian dispute. or
peoples garments, or the horse show. ought
to make preliminary study OF the editorial
habit An editor who 10 worth his salt picks
up all the knowledge he can gee about SUBJ
ject and thinks about It 10 the best Of his
ability. before he writes upon II. He calls up
on his experience and observation: he care
fully reads documents and reports: he sends
out reporters to gather all available facts: he
looks into the obscure points sharply: he
learns what Is said by all the parties con-
cerned: he sometimes confers with persons OF
special Information. Having thus prepared
the ground for thought, he thinks. uses his
wits, makes ND his mind. and finally gives the
results Of his Judgment to the public.
This Is the way OF an editor who IL worth his
salt, and who knows that the discussion OF i'm

1t seems to US that those OF our preachers

We make this remark for the reason that We
sometimes read reports Of sermons upon
topics of the times. which give evidence that

Washington's Awful Dignity

President Washington went to
the sessions Of Congress in a splen-
did coach, formed like a hemisphere,
with gilt panels on which were cary
ed cupids, flowers and fruits. This
gorgeous vehicle was drawn by six
cream colored horses superbly ca
parisoned, and supplemented by
coachman and two footmen in white
and scarlet livery. The spectacle
drew crowds to the street whenever
the President passed. On the oc-
casion Of receptions President and
Mrs. Washington, (she was called
"His Eminence's Consort") sat on
a raised platform like throne and
in a stately way received the salaams
of the people.
The only man who ever attempt
ed to be familiar with President
washington was Gouverneur Nor
ris, who on big wager that he
wouldn't dare walk up to Washing
ton, slap him on the shoulder, and
familiarly accost him, went boldly
up in crowded room to the dig
nified George. He didn't slap
George upon the shoulder, however,
for his courage failed him, and he
laid his hand on the President
and mildly said: "Well, general,
you are looking very we'll tonight"
Instantly Washington turnedround
and gave Morris a dark frown and
a dagger look from out his eyes
which made that worthy shrink in
to corner, thoroughly embarrass-

and doors. Coal is brought from
Cardiff and from Belgium, and 200
tons are required day.
Between Jaffa and Jerusalem, not
including these, there are five sta
tions. For the station in Jerusalem,
which is one mile from the city, a
little more than eight and a half
acres of land were purchased at a
very high price-not less than $25,-
0O0-land which thirty years ago
was sold for 81 per acre. n
The men who did most of the
stonework-blasting through hills,
laying walls to support embank-
ments, and cutting stone for stations
and bridges-were from Bethlehem
and the nearest neighbofng village
to it, called Belt Jala, men whose
ancestors have been stone-cutters
from ancient times. The Arabs on
the plain received 30 to 35 cents per
day, the Egyptians and others 40
to so cents per day, while the men
who could work in stone received
from 70 cents to 81 per day. The
company erected barracks along the
line Of the road, where laborers
could sleep free of charge, but they
provided their own food. Twice
week physicians passed along the
line of road wherever there were
workmen, to render any medical as
sistance that might be required.
The time between Jerusalem and
Jaffa is three and one-quarter hours
down and three and one-half hours
coming up, and the fare is $3.50
first class and 81 for the second
class.

Consul Selah Merrill at Jerusalem
has sent to the state department an
account Of the opening of the rail-
road from Jaffa to Jerusalem The
event was celebrated on the part of
the Mohammedans by an address
from an imam, one of their priests
of high rank in Jerusalem, after
which three sheep were slaughtered
on the platform of the station as a
kind of propitiatory sacrifice, and
on the part of the company it was
celebrated by dinner given in the
evening under tents at the Jerusalem
station. Ejelal Pasha, aid-de-camp
to the sultan, was present from Con-
stantinople to represent the sultan in
the opening exercises. M. Collas,
the president of the road, and sew
eral eminent engineers from Paris,
were also present, likewise the gov
ernor of Jerusalem and Palestine,
together with the civil and military
authorities and the members of the
diplomatic and consular corps. One
hundred and fifty guests sat down
at the tables.
The road just completed, the first
ever built in Palestine and Siberia,
is little over fifty-three miles
long, thirty miles of which are on
the plain land and the remaining
twenty-three in the mountains.
There are no tunnels on the road,
the builders preferring to go around
bluffs that might be tunneled rather
than bore through them. The
wooden ties brought from France
cost so cents apiece. The road has
five engines, all made in Philadel-
phia, and the cars, which were made
in the north of France, open at the
ends, with passage running length
ways through them, and there are
compartments divided by partitions

A Fish Diet.

DR.. Talmage upon the eve of Lent
is preaching the gospel of fish.
Fish, he contents, was made first
by the Lord in the course of the
menu in paradise, making it precede
bird and beast, indicating to the
world the Importance of fish as an
article of human food. The reason
that men and women had lived to
the age of 900 years was because
they were kept on parched corn and
fish. We mix up fantastic food
that kills the most of us before 30
years of age. The conclusion of
the doctor was that the human race
to-day needs more phosphorus, and
the fish is charged and subcharged
with phosphorus, and therefore in
the name of the Lord let us address
ourselves to diet of fish.
On this question every salmon
Gamer in the United States would
be with the doctor. Perhaps his
reverence has invested in some Joint
stock concern that is pushing the
fish business. But we must take
his statements as to the great value
of the phosphorus in fish to the
human brain with some considerable
degree of allowance. A Ayouth once
wrote to Mark Twain, when he was
in charge of the so-called humor
department of an extinct magazine,
asking if there was anything in
this theory Of phosphorus and, if so,
what he would advise him to eat.
The reply of the humorist was that
a few whale might cover his case.
Ii the doctor is right, and if to attain
old age and magnificent physical
and mental condition it is but nec-
essary to recur to diet of fish and
parched corn, let him explain to us
if he can why it is that those people
who are obliged practically to live
upon fish-the Indians, who had
their abode along the Columbian
river, the natives Of Greenland, who
found nearly all their food in the
waters-have not made more of
figure in the world, have not become
it's conquerors? A phosphorus-eat-
ing people, according to the doctors
dictum, ought to be the very flower
of the human family.
Dickens once instanced the value
Of the ancient maxim that early to
bed and early to rise makes man
healthy, wealthy, and wise, by
claiming that chimney sweeps, a
necessity of whose occupation it was
to be early to bed and to rise
early, had acquired such fund
Of health, such stores of wealth and
as made them the greatest
men in the kingdom. Chicago

Preventing Future Misery

If there Is, in this vale of tears, more prolific
source of misery than the rheumatic twinge, we
have yet to hear of it. People are born with a
tendency to rheumatism, just as they are with one

develop this. As soon the agonizing complaint
manifests ITSELF recourse should be had to Hostet-
