The sentimentalists generally are ac tuated by good motives. They desire to reform the wicked and make the world better. They are simply misled by excess of emotion, and by ignorance of the fundamental bases of both re- ligion and science. They fancy that there is a way of coaxing men to be good without discipline, of changing the habits of the bad without continual coercive pressure. They have disease which is common to this country, and which may be scientifically described as moral lmushines', speaking pathologi- cally, a fatty degeneration of the heart. They are generally approved by the criminal class, who want to be we'll treated but do not want to change their habits. They have no conception that the true and divine altruism lies only | in the enfO cement of law and in the discipline of the human race. They are encOuragers of lawlessness. They are the apologists and the intercessors for anarchists. For over thirty years in the country, from ten thousand pulpits and platforms, they have been preaching the gospel of moral-mush. They have melted discOntent, they have stirred up hostile feelings between classes, they have talked always of rights, rights, rights, and very little of duties; they have taught that whoever has hard ship somebody else is responsible for it. Whether it is crime, or drunkenness, or poverty, or laziness, somebody is re- sponsible, either society or some rich mana rich man who is nine cases out ten in the country has worked his way by industry and thrift and ability up tC a competence for himself and the many dependent on him. We see the results of this preaching and haranguing in this country to-day, in he chaos of thought on ethical questions, in the frequent failure of popular suffrage to select either honest or capable men for rulers in the great following of demagogues and in the frequent spasmodic efforts o1 the honest people to get control of theiI own affairs. Perhaps these sentimen talists thought all along they were preaching the gospel of love. They have been preaching the gospel of dis order.-[ From a paper read at the meet
 ing of the American Social Science Association at Saratoga Springs, by Charles Dudley Warner. Amen.-[O o. Wright.

language of the great apes, he hoped to
take with him curious letter of intro
duction to a savage negro chieftain.- The
letter was in the form of phonograph
message in the chiefs own language
from E. ]. Glave, Stanley's young lieu
tenant Glave commends Garner to the
good offices of the savage warrior, and
as Glaves voice is well known to the
chieftain the message would doubtless
have been effective, but Garner by i'll
luck failed to receive the photograph
before leaving England. Chicago Her

st have a friend'' said an out of

rious man ever saw. The other night
we were going on to Chicago ON bust

going to bed Where's your berth?'
asked Berth? repeated my friend
why, I'm not going to take a berth. /
shall sit up i'll the day coach. When l
told him there was nothing but sleepers
on the train, his face fell, and he seemed
worried 1 knew what the trouble was.
He was thinking of the few dollars he
would have to spend for bed, so | said,
4 guess you'll have to hand over to-
night He appeared much distressed
and suggested that we double up and
both sleep in one berth, for, he said,
it will be cheaper for both. | laughed
at the idea and informed him that did
not care to make myself uncomfortable
for the sake of q few dollars. Well, he
resigned himself to his fate, and no.
ticed when a berth was assigned him
he was without handbag of any sort.
AS he was going to stay in Chicago but
a day. 1 said; Where's your bag Sure
ly you didn't bring trunk for one
day?' He then sat closer to me, and
crossing his legs began in a most ear
nest manner: That's just where you fell

would charge me double what they do
now I've got too much common sense

knoeker" pardon such homely
phrase in the world; II Is IN immense
lions head holding In its mouth sim
pie massive iron ring OF most ancient
appearance. The right hand OF Saint
Veneeslaus had firm grasp upon this
ring, when his brother ran him through
with his sword.
This all happened long. long ago, In
fact II occurred in the year 936, or 95S
years ago, and TO this day the pill
grims looking upon his ring, think with
horror upon the base deed as they pray
for the repose of the soul OF Saint Ven
ceslaus. The walls Of this chapel are
inlaid with precious stones of Bohemia,
and you may judge the effect as one
bcholds in the. walls the beautiful hues
OF amethyst, Jasper, chrysoprasus and

design and very ancient, The massive
candelabra which suspends from the
ceiling was made In 1882 by Nischer,

adorned the churches at Nuremburg.
But why recount all the many OBJ
jects OF interest to be seen in Prague?
There Is one leaf which we Protest
ants can take from the Roman Catho-
lie book and this IS to keep our
churches Qhe houses of Cod open
daily.
Let them be open as places of medi-
tation for believers who will thus love
the place where God is worshipped.
Let them like the temple of Janus be
kept open. Many of our churches in
the United States are open but two
hours in each week; to throw the doors
open every day would be grand de-
parture.
When the horrible Spanish Fury"
was raging in the streets Of Antwerp
in that death struggle which the
Roman Catholic church was waging in
the Netherlands, instigated to that
dreadful work by that bigot Philip
Second Of Spain, the beautiful chime of
peilS rang ouI tie AoulS, h'4NSS "iiN
quarters (as sweetly as they used to
chime in the days of peace performing
their mission faithfully, while the
great cathedral doors were kept open,
offering safe refuge the oppressed. AS
truly as God is ever Waleful and
watching over His own, so let His tenn
pies be ever open welcoming and bid
ding His children enter.
There are many places Of great in
terest in and about the city of Prague,
but 1 will stop here and perhaps in a
future letter give further details.
