1.-The Bible is the unfailing fountain
from which the theologians. doctors and
fathers Of the Church have copiously
drunk. VINO have surpassed IN pulpit
eloqpence the fathers Of the third, fourth
and fifth centuries? There is fresh
ness and v1rility IN their sermons which.
have rarely been equaled and never exr

strength was the result Of the invigorat
ing nourishment on which they fed.
The only book Of divinity they consult
cd was the Word OF God.
Apart from its inspired character, the
Bible is q model OF literary excellence.
What classic author, ancient or modern,
can excel Isa ah or ST. John in sublimity
5of conception, or the books Of Samuel OF
Kings and the gospels in The charm and
pconciseness of historical narrative, or
jeremiah s Lament in pathos and
tenderness, or the Apocalypse in do
criptive power, or Job IN majestic and
terrible images, or David in poetic
thoughts? The grandest creations Of
poetic genius pale before the psalmody
OF the royal prophet. Milton and Dante
have borrowed their noblest images
from the pages OF the sacred writings.
ssBut the Bible should be read for q
higher motive than for the sake Of the
style. It should be pursued for the sake
OF the light and consolation which it i'm
parts. When You open the portals of
this temple OF divine knowledge you
should not stop to admire the ornaments
and decorationsof the interior, but you
should rather mediate on the words Of
wisdom that are inscribed on it's walls
and contemplate the hallowed portraits
looking down upon You that you might
venerate them and hold them up to the
veneration of the faithful =

AMERICAN PATENTS

The annual report, 1894, of the Commis-
sioner of Patents contains table showing
the various kinds of devices for which
patents have been granted and the num-
ber of patents OF each sort. This table
presents a number of interesting points.
A little over half million of patents
have been granted thus far in the history
of this government. OF this number
$1,000 are for electrical appliances, 1900
being for various kinds of electric lights.
Although electricity is, comparatively
speaking, a new science, 1t has been the
basis of nearly half of all the inventions
in the last fifteen years.
The greatest number of inventions have
been in the line of vehicles including
bicycles Twenty thousand inventions in
the line of wagons, carriages and bicycles
have been patented. The smallest num-
Der of patents were for type setting ma
chinery, only ninety-eight devices having
been patented. Of these il might be added
all except three or four are failures.
1t scarcely seems possible that nearly
1900 devices for clasps, buckles and but
tons should have been patented, but such
is the case. Ten thousand different kinds
VI udINcSJcIS ana harvester dtGdCDIueutS
have been devised and sprung on the
farmers of the country. OF stoves and
furnaces over $4,000 have been patented.
Medicines have been patented to the num-
Der of 1882. enough of variety, it would
seem. to please the most confirmed hypo-
condriac.
In spice of the fact that 10, 600 diff ereno
kinds locks and latches have been
patented. several times that number of
thieves still make comfortable living in
the country. Although 5000 different
kinds of games have been invented is is
safe to say that none OF them equal whist
chess and poker, on which there are no
patents whatever; and while the invent
ors of 27S kinds of drinks have secured
patents, not one in the whole number
seems to enjoy the popularity attained by
the beer of our Saxon ancestors revised
up to date.
There is plenty of work yet for the in
ventors.

FRUIT TRANSPORTATION
SAN FRANCISCO CALL

There is probably No one matter which
is receiving the same attention at present
at the hanus of the Railroad Commission
as that of fruit transportation, and the
fact being generally known leads to that
body receiving many suggestions on the
subject, many of which are possessed of
merit.
DR.. H. l.. McKillops of San Francisco
has submitted to the body named new
method of packing deciduous fruits.
which it is claimed is destined to find
favor.
The plan is to place each orange (that
class of fruit being taken merely for com
parative purposes) in pasteboard circle.
which prevents contact with the other
fruit and which causes the most
thorough ventilation.
The present style boxes can be used and
any shape of fruit can be packed therein.
No expert packers are required, and the
pasteboard circle is said to be as cheap as
wrapping paper.
1t is said that eight tons more of fruit
can be shipped in a car by this method
than by that of refrigeration.
The method is more fully explained in
a communication to the board from the
inventor and which will probably be pub
lished ttt

A BRIGHT IDEA

Next week fifteen newspaper Offices in
the city OF Cleveland. Ohio, will be rend-
cred happy by the advent of box of fine
California navel oranges in the editorial
rooms of each. The enterprising cloth
ing firm of Hall & button in that city.
finding itself under obligations TO num-
her of local newspaper men ana desiring
y" Hqudate the debt have placed an order
@.ih a Monrova packing house for fifteen
nuxcs of choice fruit to be delivered at
the newspaper offices OF Cleveland. To
make the gift still more pleasing the
packers have placed a number of sprays
OF orange blossoms in each box.
This is a novel scheme and one that re-
fleets credit upon the firm III question.
They did well to select California oranges
instead of sending the European fruit, as
editors are fastidious men and nat
urally prefer fruit that has no suspicion of
cholera or other germ disease about it.
The result will be that not only will the
firm Of clothiers receive some kind word
in print from the newspapers, but our
own fruit will probably come in for some
pleasant comment.
Why woui it not be a good idea for
the Southern California Fruit Exchanges
to make use OF this plan in popularizing
their product throughout the East?
There are perhaps a thousand influential
newspapers III the territory where our
fruit is expected to sell, and box or two
in eaca ctfice would do good service in ad-
vertising the California fruit. Let each
box be accompanied by a brief letter set
ting forth the merits of the American
fruit as contrasted with the foreign, and
the result would be that million or two
readers who are consumers OF oranges
Ould be given something to think about.

DO TRUSTS PAY?

The New York World has a long leader
that starts with the inquiry, Do trusts
pay in the end? 1t is pertinent ques-
ton, and the Worlds conclusion that
trusts do not pay in the long run is un-
doubtedly correct. There has been no
repeal of the law that competition is the
ife of trade ~ says the World, and then
it instances the collapse of the Paper Box
Trust, the Cordage Trust, and several
other monopolistic organizations that
have gone under during the past few
years
But there are still many more trusts
that have not collapsed The greatest OF
them all, the Standard Oil combination,
does not even appear to be on its last legs.
Some day the crash may come, but in the
meantime many small dealers have been
impoverished and the consum ers have
been heeced in order to make few men
multmillionaires. In a large, economic
sense, trusts do not pay In the long run.
That is to say, they do not pay the people
as a whole. They were never intended to
do that. Their sole aim is to enrich a few
