Lords PRAYER In Thirty-two Languages.

The Russians now have possession of
the Mount of Olives, the spot where the
Lord s Prayer was first uttered. The apex
Of tho mount is nearly 200 feet above tho
hill upon which Jerusalem is built, 2,70O
feet above the level of the Mediterranean
and about 3, 900 feet above the sluggish
waters of the Dead sea- On this elevation,
upon the exact spot which, tradition says,
the prayer was first spoken, the Carmelitc
Sisters have, through the kindness of
Nine de la Tour d'Auvergne, who fur
nished the necessary funds, built large
convent The exact, or what is claimed TO
be the exact, spot pressed by our Saviour's
feet on that celebrated occasion is marked
by u pure white polished marble cross, and
the walls of the convent have the prayer
inscribed upon them in 30 different Ian
guagcs. In some instances the letters
forming the prayer arc engraved in mar
bic panels; in Others they are letters OF
wood glued to backgrounds suitable to
their colors. The Russian portion of this
wonderful collection of inscriptions is said
to be in letters of pure gold, each capital
stem being ga inches long and four-fifths
of an inch in width. Among the Ian
guages which one would hardly expect to
find represented are tho Hebrew, the Chi
ncsc, the Coptic, the Tartarian and the
japanese. Tho Arabian, as it had been a
task to relinquish Mohammedanism, ends
with Great is Christ. st. Louis Repu1-

NIillionnires and Their Sons.

On the average great fortunes in Amer
lea have probably done more good and less
harm than might have been expected.
They have undertaken enterprises which
could not otherwise have been undertaken
and tried experiments which could not
-+herwise have been tried. The luxury
end display of their owners arc limited by
the conditions of democratic society, which
among other things preclude large estab-
lishments of servants such as are kept by
the magnates of Europe, since in America
one domestic will not take orders from an
other Besides men who have made their
own fortunes commonly retain the Sim
plicity of their early habits Of life.
The worst sin of the millionaires as a
class probably has been the corruption OF
politicians in the interest of railways OF
other commercial concerns, and even here
they have acted largely on the defensive.
In politics they take little part desiring
only to be let alone. The worst of them
is that they die and leave their wealth to
idle and worthless sons. We give up the
icuncsse dorec of the great American cities
without reserve to Mr.. Stcad's apostolic
severity, though we cannot go so far as to
say with him of men convicted of no ac-
tual crime that "any well regulated com
munity would be justified in sinking them
in the nearest bog till the breath had left
their bodies. "-Goldwin Smith in Contcm'
porary Review.

The Books Were Shelved.

Here is funny little story which is
told of would be literary young mar
whose face is familiar around the various
newspaper offices and who aspires to be
witty. Some time ago in course Of con
versation with prominent magazine
writer the subject of authors and their
works was being discussed. The young
man, after the manner of all would be lit
erary young men, was criticising the va
rious writers and among Others Ouida,
whose works he declared were being laid
on the shelf. The journalist, tpunning
upon the well known auburn hue of Out
da's hair, said, well, if her books are
not read her hair is. -
This struck the would be literary young
man as most happy pun, and he resolved
to appropriate it to himself at the first op-
portunity. A few evenings later while
out in company he joyfully turned the
conversation onto the same subject, and
when the proper time arrived sprung the
pun in this manner, well, she's got red
hair if her books haven't"
He is still wondering why no one ap-
plauded the brilliant bonmot.-St. Louis

Wonders of the Eye.

In an article on the human eye written
by DR.. Austin Flint the following passage
occurs: Viewed as an optical lnstru-
ment, the human eye may well be called
perfect for it is an apparatus contained IN
a globe less than an inch in diameter, in
which is produced an image, practically
perfect in form and color, and which can
be accurately adjusted almost instantly
for every distance from five inches to IN
finity, which is movable in every direction,
has an area small enough for the detection
of the most minute details and at the
same time large enough for the apprecia
ton of large objects, and which enables US
to see all shades of color and to estimate
distance, solidity, and, to some extent, the
consistency of objects" And yet this
wonderful instrument, perhaps the most
varied in its capabilities of any part OF the
body, is persistently misused and neglect
ed. Is it any wonder that some day ma
ture rescnts this treatment and leaves the
offenders in total and perpetual darkness!

DECEPTIVE APPEARANCES.
TO I.uok at He Was Not Much Of . Law
yer, but Then

Said gentleman who is well acquainted
in the mountain countries: Il noticed in
the city an attorney from an eastern Ore.
gon county who came here to appear be-
fore Judge Fee in chambers He wore
felt hat. with no less than five inches of
hrim. His neckg gear was by no means such
as would be furnished by city outftter
His ccat was miserably poor fit, and, as
for pantaloons, they were decidedly pic
turesque. The bag in these pants hung
out conspicuously four or five inches be-
low the knee, and the dust of the street
was swept by the lower edges trailing
along behind him. The mustaches worn
by this attorney were and of course are
yet such as to lend a particularly fierce
appearance to an otherwise unique figure.
AS the lawyer passed along the streets to-
ward the courthouse some one inquired
who the person was and was informed he
was disciple of Blackstone. l thought
there was an amused expression on the
inquirer's face.
Now, / wish he could have gone with
me to the lawyers house in one of the
mountain towns He would have been
greeted by the lady of the house in the
most cultured manner. Entertainment
would have given evidence of the presence
of refinement A library would have been
at the visitors disposal composed of some
of the rarest volumes extant. And these
volumes would be found to be as familiar
to my friend, the attorney, as Mother
Goose's melodies to the average person. In
the mind Of this attorney could be found
wonderful store of valuable information;
facts digested, and with the meaning and
bearing on men and events extracted
thcrefrom-in short, one Of the most re
markable minds l have ever met. And
then l would enjoy watching the face of
the inquiring man as that attorney went
before jury and poured out matchless
and convincing eloquence. Educated lib
orally, trained in West Point Military
academy and for years a captain in the
regular army, later thoroughly educated in
the law, that tall, peculiarly accoutered
lawyer would provo most agreeable sur
prise to one who came in contact with his
disciplined and well filed mind. The
name of this parsonage will occur to all
members of the bar. 1t is the same as the
title to one of Sir Walter Scott's best
known novels. ''-Pendleton East Orego-

Raleieh's Personal Courage.

One instance of Ralcigh's personal cour-
age may Inc mentioned-a courage that
was afterward so conspicuous in many a
sea fight At one time, when he had only
five or six men with him, he was surprised
by the seneschal of ImokilIy Mt the head OF
IA horses and threescore kerns Qlght
armed mon) at ford between Youghal
and Cork. Raleigh himself forced his
way across the ford. His Irish guide
- shiftcd for himself" The horse OF one
of his followers fell midstream, and his
rider would assuredly have been killed had
not Raleigh returned, and in the face OF
great odds rescued him and vailed, pistol
in hand, until the rest Of his little band
were safely over.-St. Nicholas.

she took pronounced dislike to French
