Noah Porter, in Books and Reading, says:
"Christian believers of all sects and all
shades of opinion agree in recommending the
critical and historical study of the Scriptures
as of the highest interest and Importance. In
deed many, not to say most, of those even
who reject the claims of the Scriptures to
supernatural origin and authority. do not hesi-
tate to accord the highest significance 10 these
books literature and rs movers of opinion
aud feeling in all ages" He adds statement
to be decided: The Scriptures are perused by
multitudcs in a negligent. mechanical, and
traditional spirit, which involves little inteli-
gense and less curiosity. Even the great mass
OF those who aspire to interpret them to others
have limited conceptions of the historical and
intellectual wealth of the wonderful writings
which they attempt to expound."
We should make thorough work of the study
of the Bible; seek what aids we can for its
better comprehension equip ourselves for
teaching it; realize its value; instruct con-
scentiously; do our best to concrete its princi-
Piles into the lives Of our pupils; be ourselves
living commentaries of its holy precepts.

BUSINESS.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.--R. G. Dun & Co. E weekly review of trade says: The surpris. ing success of the new loan and the great confidence 1t has given to investors on both sides of the waters and to business here encourage many to hope that it may be the beginning of real recovery. h twenty-two minutes here subscriptions are supposed to have been at least five times the amount of bonds offered, and in two hours at London they were twenty times the amount there offered.
 Considering the power which the control of these bonds gives to regulate foreign ex- changes and to prevent exports of gold, the transaction has indeed greatly changed the financial situation in spite of the fact that the government revenues are still de- ficient and that domestic trade shows scarcely any gain as yet.
 The industries are not enlarging produce tions, nor have prices of farm products i'm. proved. But very important source of apprehension and hindrance has, for the time, at least, been removed.
 Cotton has refused to advance, though there has been much talk about curtail- lment of acreage this year, and receipts have sharply decreased. The decrease was GSwng to .nS the more influenced by the certain oversupply for the next six months than by the possi- ble shrinkage ir yield next fall. As the market for goods is dull here and abroad the fact that visible stocks of American are about 0o0, 900 bales larger than in 1892 at this date justiiles the expectation that the sur plus carried over wllI be large. The vol- tune of domeBtio Nade reported by ex- cbanges is bat little larger than last year, w1th allowance for difference of working deys, and S2. per cent smaller than that of two years ago. The more accurate tsst, the daily: averags for the mouth, is B,3 per cent lafesr' than last year, but 3{4 per cent smaji5r than In 1898.

moderate in volume, with some discour- agement in most branches, though struc- tural works at Pittsburg are very busy and the demand for wire nails and barbed wire has never been surpassed. But nothing is doing in rail5. Plates are quiet aad bars are slow as ever, though rather in demand for car works. Sales of pig have been moder- ately lars' with on transaction at Pittsburg of 10, 000 tons of besseirer a. $10, but prices do not improve.
 Textile products show few changes, but those downward. Cottons are meeting an indifferent demand, and New York mills 44 bleached have been reduc ,d io9i5 cents and Lonsdaie A bleached to 5a4 cents, and in cheaper goods and brown sheetings prices are irregular.
 A better demand appears for the finer prints, but fancy calicoes are quiet, and there is only the average recorder business for dress goods.
 The failures for the first half of Feb ruary show liabilities of s5 ,559, 9s6, against s8, ,534 ,072 last year; of manufacturing con- cerns $1 ,592 .3l9, against 8, 749, S45 last year, ana of leading concerns B, 353, ,019, against s4, 703, ,749 last year.

his republican associates. His great rem edy is the remonetiz ltion of silver, but he admits there are no immediate pros- pects for it's realization. Other remedies suggested by the representatives are the repeal of the duty on cotton manufactur- ing machinery and especially spinning ma chinery, the accomplis hment of which, the report admits, is unlikely. After viewing all sides of the question the report says that it will be found impossible to forecast with certainty the future iu all phases of the cotton problem ,lbut 1t seems that the following may be relied on with some con fidence:
 1. Considering soil and climate, industry and skill of the people, the American cot snd in the sharp competition in the future he will be the most successful.
 2. That as higher prices are not to bs ex- pected, the American cotton raisers may so generally diversity their crops with others suited to the soil and climate as to supply most of their wants, and to that extent secure to themselves immunity from the evils of low prices.
 B. Such Liberalization would tend to the prosperity of cotton farmers in that it will facilitate the change now absolutely neces- sary from the expensive system of credit, whereby supplies purchased will be cheaper, and the pressure coming from de- livery to sell on low market will be les- sened.
 4. That if general prices shall continue low after the change to low prices shall be- come permanent, and after the distress coming from falling prices shall in meas ure pass away, those who have escaped ruin, or who shall be relieved by settle- ment of their old debts, may adjust them- selves to those conditions and have a new prosperity.

IN THE EARLY MORN
Threo Burglars Wreck a Bank Vault and Get Safely Away With
 Snug Sum.

WATERBURY,, Conn.,, Feb. 22.-At 1 20 this morning the Thomaston Savings bank was robbed by three burglars. They en- tered the building and with the use of dynamite blew open the outside safe, ruin ing it. The safe door was blown against the ceiling, IS feet away. They got away with s2O00. dropped 1900 in coin In one place, S100 in another and $50 in third place, leaving S950 in their possession. The money was partly in deposit boxes, be- longing to patrons of the institution.
 Watchman Trott of the Seth Thomas Clock kcompauy saw the men about l o'clock. He called up the residence of MT. Bradstreet, who is connected with the factory by private phone. MT. Bradstreet notified w. T. Woodruff. Mir. Woodruff and Mir. Bradstreet, together with MT. Lem non ofThomaston and another Bradstreet of Meridian, hastily went toward the bank. The explosion had been heard about ten minutes before they arrived. One of the gurglars was standing near the window of the bank on the outside of the building, {, another was standing over at the corner of the clock shop, and the third was inside.
 When the four men approached one of the burglars ordered them to hold up their hands. They retreated, as they were not armed. The third burglar came out of the bank, and the three men, with their booty, crossed the bridge and started afoot down the track of the Naugautuck railroad toward Waterbury.
 At 3 a. m. the Thomaston people organ ized party for pursuit, which so far has been unsuccessful. It is thought the men had team waiting in the road down the track.
 Cashier Frank Roberts of the Thomaston bank said this afternoon that the burglars secured about 5000 in cash and package of bonds, the aggregate value of which would be about $600.
