| One night last week a number of men
| were sitting around the stove in we'll
known grocery store in Bangor, telling
stories, when they were surprised to see
one of their number lean his head over
to one side and hit the other side a rs-
sounding whack. Then ne shook his
head and swore a little, after which he
went through the same peri formance
again, paying no attention to the in
quiries of his companions. At last, to
the surprise of his companions, out
walked fly from the ear and flew away.
John Cusack, the hermit proprietor of
Moose island, Moosehead, has not had
cent to his name for years, but good luck
seems to have struck him at last.
Moose island contains nearly 600 acres, 40
acres of which have already been sold in
lots. The remainder,l excepting 200 acres,
which Mr.. Cusack has reserved as a
farm, has just been sold to Philadelphia
parties, for which he will receive several
thousand dollars.

into an unused spring, that they might
not get back into the spring they were
cleaning out.

Though his life was full Of work and
he was ever faithful to duty, Rubinstein
was not happy man. With each sue
ceeding year he grew more and more
pessimistic. Life failed to give him the
amount of enjoyment he craved outside
his art, and except in the society of
women he did not seem even commonly
happy But for the fair sex he had ever
a joke and smile. 1t amused him to
shock their feelings, and when they
opened their eyes widely at his audacity
he never failed to enjoy it. He believed
that knowledge Of woman was neces-
sary to an artist, and if a young aspirant
to any artistic calling asked his advice
his first question was, Have you loved
yet?" For he believed that man who
could not love was incapable of becom-
ing an artist. He himself could not be
accused of any failing in this case, for
his loves We're almost as many and va
rious as his days. He had all the faults
and all the virtues Of his artistic call
ing, and i'll every sense Of the word lived
for his art and his fancy regardless Of
al thiHSs- lis was d true poIeInlan
nature
There was a certain roughness, want
of tact and even brutality in his nature
that made itself disagreeably felt at
times. His was not a temper to be tried
Up to a certain point he could hold it
in check admirably, but anything be-
yond this caused an explosion Of wrath
that was terrible As in his physiogno-
my, 80 in his temper there was much Of
the lion. Those who did not know him
consequently feared him, for his person
ahty was one that awed, especially in
the latter years of his life. Al lexander

Soon after Rowland Hill became sec
retary of the British postoffice he sum
moned together some Of his subordinates
the surveyors, as they are officially
called-tO consider a paper of instruc-
tions on some important matter which
he was about sending out. He read it to
them to make sure that it covered the
ground. One Of them was Anthony Troll
lope, afterward famous as a novelist
When the reading was finished, Troll
lope, naturally desirous, as young
man, to show that he had a head upon
his shoulders, challenged not the scope
and tenor of the instructions, but the
literary composition. That, however,
was not what the secretary desired to
hear
III think, Mr. Hill, N" Trollope is re-
ported to have said, "that the language
Of paragraph 50 and 50, literally con
strued, may be held to mean what you
do not intend =
Rowland Hill was not a man who
loved correction of that sort, and he an
swered with great slowness and deliber-
atom:
"You must be aware, Mr. Trollope,
that a phrase is not always intended to
bear a literal construction. For instance,
when / write to one Of you gentlemen,
/ end my letter with the words. | am,
sir, your obedient servant, whereas you
know / am nothing Of the sort. -

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.


ropic For the Week Beginning July IL.
Comment by Rev. 5. II. Doyle.
ToPIC.-For Christ and THE church Math.
xvi, 1920 Prayer for the international Chris
tian Endeavor convention-l
The topic, "For Christ and the
Church, il a very appropriate one.
The fourteenth annual convention Of the
movement that has had these words for
its motto and Christ and the church the
objects of its love and fidelity Is being
held at Boston, and we'll may We obey
the suggestion Of the topic to pray for
it. 1t may best suit the spirit Of the
occasion to consider Christian Endeav0r
as related 10 Christ and the church
l. Christian Endeayor stands for
Christ. 1t stands for divine Christ
and says Of Him, as Peter said, Thou
art the Christ, the Son Of the living
God " 1t stands for personal Christ,
abiding In the heart and manifested in
the life. The supreme object and aim
of the movement has been and is to in
still personal loyalty and fidelity to
Jesus Christ into the heart and life Of
every one coming under its influence.
''To do as He would have me do" is
made the handspring Of life's every
action Christ first, everywhere and al
ways. is its abiding principle. It stands
for Christ as the founder Of the church
Christ and the church are inseparable.
He founded it not upon Peter as pope
or prelate, but upon confessing Peter,
and it was to be built up by the addition
of others who confessed Christ divine,
as living stones to Peter as the begin
ming. Christ il the head, and the church
is the body, and even in its work for
the church this movement represents
Christ
y. Christian Endeavor stands for the
church Next to loyalty to Christ it EN-
phasizes fidelity to the church Of Christ
1t stands for interdenominational fel-
lowship in the church 1t would remind
the Christian world that we are all
brethren, all one in Jesus Christ Yet 1t
also emphasizes denominationalism
Loyalty to denomination. 10 the local
church, has ever been one Of its tenets.
and the charge that ~ was or would un-
dermine Christian denominations has

Glass Houses.

There We're whole streets in Tyre en-
tirely occupied by glass works, and it is
stated that the first glass houses were
erected in Tyre. The glass houses of
Alexandria were highly celebrated for
the ingenuity ard skill of their work
men and the extent of their manufac-
lures
Layard, in writing about his discov-
cries among the ruins Of Nineveh and
Babylon, says. III one chamber were
found two entire glass bowls, with frag-
ments Of others. These bowls are prob
ably of the same period as the small
bottle found in the ruins of the north
west palace during the previous excava-
tions, and now in the British museum.
On this highly interesting relic is the
name of Sargon. with his title of king
of Assyria, in cuneiform characters, and
the figure of a lion. We are, therefore,
able to fix its date to the latter part of
the seventh century B. G. 1t is conse-
quently the most ancient known speci-
men Of transparent glass. Boston
