Tho Solution Lies Deep.

Mazzlni in his day saw clearly, and never
failed to see that the man who thinks to
solve the riddle of the time by simply solv-
ing its political or ecolNmic problem has
got but little way beneath the surface.
The new synthesis which alone can satisfy
must take account of every capacity of
man and every hunger of his heart. The
paid attorney for the defense and the paid
preacher will not succeed by any poor
minimizing of material things to blunt
the shafts of the industrial reformer or
blind the eyes of the poor man to the vision
Of freedom which comfort gives.
But If we were all comfortable tomor-
row, all well fed and well tailored and
easy payers of the income tax, and still
without the love of justice in our hearts,
without the love Of beauty there, without
aught eternal there and absolute, without
any light there upon the great mystery
into which the most comfortable among
us must hasten tomorrow, our perfect
commissariat would be but poor prison,
and we, when at the end of the week its
new was worn off, of all men most miser-
able-more miserable far than those ten
der women among the lions of the coli
scum, than Huss and Hooper in their fires,
than those poor prosecuted covenanters,
or than the Pilgrim Fathers harried out
of England, all with heaven in their
hearts.-New England Magazine.

Charles Beerman, proprietor of the Kim
ball House and Markham House in Atlanta,
has lived in the south since 1853. He was
well acquainted with the celebrated Alex
ander H. Stevens, and tells this story of
the confederate vice president:
Stevens wanted the nomination for con-
gress in Georgia district before the war,
and had as his opponent big bodied, big
featured, big lunged man, who prided him
self on his hercllean girth and believing
voice. They came together at the hustings
and the big man got the floor. He held his
opponent up to ridicule, and wound up his
harangue with these words:
"Why, look at that man." pointing to
Stevens as he sat, a mere bundle of skin
and bones, in an invalid's perambulating
chair. Look ut him. could swallow
him at one mouthful."
"Yes," piped Alex from the depths of
his chair, "and if he did he'd have more
brains in his stomach than he's got in his
head"
The crowd roared, the big fellow retired
in discontinue and Alex got the nomina-
tion.-Detroit Free Press.

nardships of a Fisherman. Life.

y
The Gloucester fishermen sail away full
Of hope and with full larder Arrived
ON the grounds they anchor in about, forty
or fifty fathoms, and set their travis
These are long lines, anchored on the bot
tom, and extending out from the schooner
many hundreds of yards. To these at in
tervals of fathom (the distance varies
for different fish are attached shorter
lines. These lines have to be attended in
dories, each containing two men, who
haul, bait and land the fish in the boat to
be transferred to the schooner. Herein lie
the danger and hardship, for the strong
tides of the banks and the shoal water pile
up great combing seas. The cold is cruel
and the work hard. Suddenly down comes
fog, not the soft mist of summer or au-
tumn, but thick, heavy bank, soaked
through with the penetrating cold of the
icebergs farther north. Horns are blown
from the vessel, but every year many dories
are lost.
One would think that common sense, if
not law, would make each dory carry a
breaker of water and pilot bread, but none
does, and either experience does not teach or
the fishermen like such chances, for year
after year comes the same old story of a
lost dory and two men starved or dead of
thirst. When the fog lifts they are many
miles from their schooner, and are carried
by the swift tides they know not whittier
Then come days of hunger and thirst,
hands are frozen to the oars, madness
haunts them, and then-death. Some
times they make land or are picked up
by passing vessel, in which case they
often return before their own schooner,
but that great happiness is rare. Then
their vessel, which so gayly sailed out past
the light, comes home with her flag at half
mast.-R. Cleveland Coke in Century.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Stocks and Bonds.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10 The trading ele-
ment at the stock exchange experienced a
change Of sentiment to-day, and major
ity Of the big traders were working for
recovery. An idea seemed to prevail that
the movement against sugar and distilling
had been carried toe far and that a rally
was overdue. Consequently they had very
little trouble in bringing about raise OF Z
to y per cent. in the Grangers. Louisville
and Nashville, New England, Missouri,
Pacific preferred aud Reading. In the
iudustrials sugar opened lper cent. higher
to 81, fell 95H and rose to 969s
a 96a97. The feeling ON this stock is more
bullish for the moment, but trading con-
tinued entirely professional. Chicago Gas
was very erratic, closing Is lower on the
day, after selling at 67%a69. At late
hour it was reported from Philadelphia
that application had been made for re-

A Great Truth from u Child.

Children unconsciously come nearer great
truths than they think. Warren was the
owner Of canton flannel elephant, the one
idol of his heart. From old age and the
effects of constant handling it had begun
to shed its sawdust. Early one Sunday
morning Warrens mother found him on
the floor of his room with needle and long
thread, quietly sewing up rip in the hind
leg of the animal. In rather sharp tone
of voice she said; "Why, Warren / am
ashamed of you! Sewing on Sundayl You
might have waited for that until tomor.

While continuing to draw the thread
through he looked up and in the most rev

remarked, Mamma, didn't Christ heal
