THE DECLINE OF WAR.
Pursuit Of Property and Wealth the Main
Cause Thereof.

Pursuit Of Property and Wealth the Main
Cause Thereof
The warlike temperament Of man has
been one Of his most prominent charac-
teristics from the earliest times. To
live to fight has been the chief aim Of
most primitive peoples and has been a
leading occupation of all civilized ones.
Armies have grown in size, weapons
have multiplied in number and destruc-
tiveness, battles have grown more and
more deadly in action, while also be-
coming more merciful in their accom-
paniments, but still it is everywhere
apparent that, in spite of these aids to
carnage, the military spirit is on the
decline.
May we not look for the cause of this
in the enormously increased cost Of war
fare and its interference with the pur-
suit of prosperity and wealth? When
the internal losses to a people become
greater than those they can gain through
conquest and annexation. they will be
very loath to enter into great conflict.
am very far from saying that many
other causes, such as ethics and grow
ing spirit Of mercy. may not have con-
tributed to this pacification of the ma
lions, but is it not true that the cost of
war is the chief preventive of war? If
so, does it not illustrate the rule that
the reactions set up by the vast technical
Improvement Of methods of destruction
have reacted on the primitive cause of
the destruction-viz, the human will
and have lessened the cause by modify
ing the heart and brain of man?-Pop-
ular Science Monthly.

Thackeray on John Paul Jones.

Traitor, if you will, was M. John
Paul Jones. afterward knight of his
most Christian majesty's Order of Mer-
it, but Drawer traitor never wore a
sword"
Such were almost the last words
traced by the hand Of Thackeray, and
they show the astonishing misconcep-
ton of Paul Jones which prevailed in
the mind of one Of the justest men that
ever lived. Washington was hero even
to his enemies, yet Washington had &C.
tually held commission in the Brit
ish army, while Paul Jones could say
to the American congress at the close of
the war: II have never borne arms under
any but the American flag, nor have l
ever borne or acted under any commits
sion but that Of the congress of Amer
lea. - This singular distinction against
Paul Jones extended to the whole of the
feeble naval force Of the colonies. Sol
diers were treated from the beginning
as prisoners of war, while until Paul
Jones forced an exchange of prisoners
upon equal terms American sailors were
formally declared to be traitors, pi-
rates and felons. paul JONES'" by
Molly Elliot Seawell, in Century.

ON THE SCRAPBoOK PLAN.
Evangelist Moody Makes Up His Sermons
From All Sorts Of Material.

Moody's method of sermon making is
original, says McClures Magazine. In
reality his sermons are never made
they are always still in the making.
Suppose the subject is Paul He
takes monstrous envelope, capable OF
holding some hundreds Of slips of pa
per, labels it Paul, and slowly stocks
it with original notes, cuttings from
papers, extracts from books, illustra-
tions, scraps OF all kinds, nearly or re-
motely referring to the subject. After
accommodating these, it may be for years,
he wades through the mass, selects a
number of the most striking points, ar
ranges them and finally makes a few
jottings in a large hand, and these he
carries with him to the platform. The
process of looking through the whole
envelope is repeated each time the SER
mon is preached.
Partly on this account and partly be-
cause in delivery he forgets some points
or isproportionately amplifies others,
no two sermons are ever exactly the
same. By this method also-a matter
of much more importance-thed delivery
is always fresh to himself. Thus, to
make this clearer, suppose that after a
thorough sitting 100 eligible points re-
main in the envelope. Every time the
sermon is preached these hundred are
overhauled. But no single sermon, by
a mere limitation of time, can contain,
say, more than 70.
Hence, though the general scheme is
the same. there is always novelty in
the arrangement, for the particular 20
vary with each time Of delivery. No
greater mistake could be made than to
imagine that Mr.. Moody does not study
for his sermons On the contrary, he is
always studying. When in the evan
gelistio field, the batch Of envelopes,
bursting with fairness, appears the mo-
ment breakfast is over, and the stranger
who enters at almost any time of day,
except at the hours Of platform work,
will find him with his litter Of notes,
either stufing himself or his portfolios
with new points he has picked up
through the day. His search for these
points, ''and especially for light upon
texts, Bible ideas or characters is cease
less.

Diamond Cutting.

Not only is diamond cutting not q
specially high paid occupation, but it
is one involving most humiliating
system Of espionage to the worker. Each
man is held strictly to account for the
stones he receives on going to work in
the morning, and the count has to be
carefully taken when the unfinished
work is turned in at night to be locked
up in safe against the return Of the
workmen the next day. The possibiliti
Of theft are great. though dishonest
workman knows that an attempt to dis
pose of an unfinished stone would bring
suspicion upon him wherever the at
tempt was made -New York Mercury.

Skirt Dancing at Home.

It is sheer nonsense to pretend that
the modern girl learns skirt dancing
out of devotion to the art All she
wants is notoriety and to possess that
attraction in the eyes of men which she
imagines the ballet girl possesses. In
almost every case she dances so badly
that there is no excuse for her from the
artistic point of view, and if skirt dane
ing is not artistic it is vulgar or ridicu-
lous or both. In either case it is fash
ion which adds nothing to the dignity
Of a gentlewoman or to her charm and
is, as rule, an exposure both Of bad
taste and bad figure. Beautiful wom-
en- do not need such expedients for at
tracing attention. London Graphic.

Another story illustrative of the daily
life Of Chicago millionaire may help
to explain why some people have more
money than others
This millionaire invited a visitor
from another city to meet him at GER
tain hour and accompany him to the
stockyards, where he has large interests.
The millionaire rode up in a sidebar
buggy somewhat the worse for mud and
wear, drawn by shaggy but active
horse. He explained that before starting
for the yards he would have to go to one
Of the large banks down town, as he
was on the board which regulated loans,
and he had to pass on an application
for loan of $500, O0O
They stopped in front of the bank,
and the rich man hurried in and re-
manned several minutes. He came out
on a run, and they started rattledy bang
for the stockyards and Packingtown.
When they arrived and were entering
the packing house, they saw an old man
sorting out into barrels heap of bones
and fatty remnants The bones were
trimmed and put into one barrel and
the flesh and fat into another barrel.
The millionaire owner of the place
walked over to the workman and began
asking questions. Then he drew off his
coat, rolled back his shirt sleeves to the
shoulder and began rummaging among
the bones. He found several which had
not been properly stripped, and the
workman received scolding which he
will remember all his life.
The stripping of those bones was just
as important as the loaning of $500, 900.

THE WRESTLING WIND.

Whene'er hear the whistling wind,
Whenever see the drifting snow,
What anxious thought disturbs my mind.
So poor the sweetest lass knowl
How can she bide the bitter storm?
The winter, cold and bleak, endured
She tells me that her wrap is warm
For she is proud as she is poor.
] think of her whene' FER l see
Another robed in richest furs.
There's not another face to me
So fair, SO good and kind as hers,
And when sit beside my fire
wish her there, for her dear sake,
And, troubled with it's vain desire,
1t seems as if my heart would break.
God teach her tits the high and low,
IT'S not the rich and poor, mate ill,
That she may not refuse me, so
That may have my perfect will.
God bless her, keep her evermorei
And patient let me hope to see
Time bridging all the difference DER
She fancies 'twixt herself and me.

powers Of sulphuric acid is furnished by
an accident which recently occurred in
the chemical factories at Mulhouse,
Alsace. An operative was blown up in

about three feet deep with sulphuric
acid, the temperature Of which was
found to be 81 degrees G. ten hours aft

ONE WAY TO LIVE CHEAPLY.

A Scheme That Was Developed by Gal
liant Colonel Wilk.
Joseph Tanski, the Polish refugee,
which he and his fellow exiles were
compelled to resort in order to keep
soul and body together. None of these
is more curious and interesting than one
relating to his friend, Colonel Wilk,
who had been decorated by the emperor
of the French for gallant service in the
French army, but who afterward found
himself obliged to live upon 60 francs
q month.
Itwas pretty tight work, and so Colo
mel Wilk had to confess, but one day he
met with strange bit of good fortune.
He had been out for a walk and was
on his way home when big Newfound-
land dog came running down the street,
pursued by a gang of boys and men, all
armed with sticks. The dog, painting
and terrified, ran straight toward Colo
mel Wiki and took refuge between his
feet The crowd drew near with loud
and excited shouts.
'It is a mad dog! Kill him''
A policeman, more courageous than
the mob, stepped forward.
'HaltP shouted the knight of the
Legion of Honor. 1.-THE dog belongs to
me. It is not mad"
His resolute air and perhaps the red
ribbon in his buttonhole made an i'm
preston upon the policeman.
Every we'll, +" he said, "since the dog
is yours, lead him away" &
So said, so done Colonel Wilk took
the dog home, washed and combed it,
and then went with it to the butchers
to buy it some scraps of meat. For 25
confines the butcher gave him fine
lot, and on his way home Wilk bought
q few vegetables.
All these bits-bits of meat, bones
and vegetables-he put into pot to-
gether with suitable quantity Of wa
ter, and out of the pot both he and the
dog made sumptuous dinner.
The problem of living was solved.
Day after day, as often as his purse ran
low, which was pretty often, he bought
bits of meat ''for his dog" Nobody
was the wiser, and the Polish exile and
his dog lived upon 30 confines day,
and the knight of the Legion of Honor
could once more receive his friends like
q man Of the world.
