MAOLBAN'S INTRODUCTION TO THE
GOSPEL OF JOHN.

The Congregationalist notices this
work as follows:
"Dr. MacLean goes carefully, yet with
out undue waste of words, over the life
of st. John, the object of the Gospel,
the evidences of it's authenticity and
similar matters, and furnishes an inter
linear literal translation with which the
Authorized Version is compared in par
allel columns. The book is eminently
scholarly, and contains large amount
of material, the Importance of which
Biblical scholars will appreciate. DIR.
Mac Lean has done good service in these
pages"

Leigh Hunt had no sense either Of

hans an objectionable vice. in man
who had a wife and children depending
upon him. As long as he lived be was
thriftless and needy, lender and a

reprehensible this was he seems never

TO feel sorry for Mrs. Hunt it Is not

No Love For the Yankees.

Strangers often wonder az the fever OF
excitement into which the majority Of
Canadians still work themselves at any
mention Of fusion with the United
States II seems almost illogical that
people should be unable calmly 70 dis
cuss the possibility of an alliance with
neighbors who in everything but the
most trifling details are one with them
selves. Probably not one Canadian in
ten has any Of the old loyalist blood in
his veins, nor for that matter has any
larger proportion Of the citizens Of the
United States a claim to Revolutionary
descent
But as the old antagonism to England
on the one side Of the line is adopted by
the SONS and grandsons Of emigrants, so
upon the other the old United Empire
feeling still in great measure infu-
enccs public opinion. There is this curl
Gus difference, however, that while it is
among the old and genuinely American
population that the greatest friendliness
to England will be found today, in
Canada there are, on the other hand, no
such outspoken haters, in a political
sense, Of the United States as the de-
scendants Of the old loyalist settlers. -

doom OF THE NOVEL.
Discerned In the Window Where Bicycle
Are Exhibited.

Are Exhibited.
A deliver into literature has this 10
gay about the bicycle:
Speaking as a distinguished reviewer
/ am not ungrateful to the bicycle.
The more cycling the less novel read
ing, and therefore the smaller income
for the scribe who has to explain the
merits of novelists to an indolent pub
lie
This merely commercial point does
not excite any misgiving i'll my mind
as to the civilizing influence Of the cycle
manufacturer.
Windows in which bicycles are ex-
hibited for sale have for me the fasci-
nation used to find at the booksellers
Staring in at a window the other day, l
was accosted by friend, who said;
$50 you re going to start cycling at
lastl The very thing for torpid liver!
He descanted on my liver for some
minutes and then urged me on no &C
count to buy the particular brand OF
bicycle was gazing at. 1t had secret
vices. 1t was possessed with a devil;
whereas, he knew a bicycle which
might make angels wings mott with
envy.
explained that l had no desire to
ride a bicycle, and he said with amaze
ment:
"Then why glue your nose to the
window"
because I rejoice to read there the
doom of the English novel. "
He shook his head and went off to
spread the rumor among my friends
that was suffering from mental de-
rangement.
Publishers are said to be complaining
about the effects of the cycling cpl
demic on the book market. There is Il
sad decline Of novel reading. Instead Of
buying books the young and middle
aged Of both sexes spend their money
on bicycles.
Beauty does not languish a whole aft
ernoon in a hammock with romance.
She "scorches" amid the heat and dust
Of highway.
By his unsold copies the publisher
sits down and weeps when he remem
bers the copious editions Of other years.
Surely there is better plan than that.
Why doesn't he become an expert cyclist
and lie in wait on the highroad for
novices who have deserted his books;
There is an apt story Of Wesley which
Mr.. Birrell told the other day.
The evangelist was riding and over
took a stranger. who was also mounted
They fell to discussing religion, and
when the strang learned that his
mentor was Wesley he turned to flee.
Il had the better horse, " remarks
Wesley in his journal, $50 | showed
him his heart all tho way to Northamp-
ton.
Why should not the publisher show
the beauties Of his new novel to the less
experienced cyclst: Should his COM
panion have a bad accident, how de-
lightful TO thrust a precious volume
into the hand Of the PROSTATE man and
ride away with the righteous glow OF a
good Samaritan. -Exchange

Milan, as becomes the most enterpris-

her schools an innovation which, i'll
southern climates at any rate has much
to recommend it. This is the subsection

made for the first time the other day at

only by their large drying towel, were

Rome In Enc middle AGO.

In the middle ages Rome was any
thing rather than rich and industrious
city. What especially struck strangers
was its poverty, the mean aspect Of its
streets, the crumbling condition OF It's
monuments and the rudeness Of its peo-
pie. Luxury was almost unknown. The
class of active, enterprising burghers
who, living in plentiful ease in opulent
homes, have secured the strength and
prosperity of the cities Of the north did
not exist at Rome-.'ville de noblesse ct

as to his lineage and the causes which
led a Bengalese TO accept a commission

do not surprise us who have always
maintained that the Bengalese is the
most intellectual Of Asiatics and far the
superior of most Europeans both in sub

EMIR OF eOKHARA.
Bows Gracefully TO the WIN Of the Rus
sian Government.


The emir Of Bokhara is one OF the
most cautious and calculating Of orien'
tails, who knows how to bow gracefully
to the inevitable and to take credit to
himself for not battering his own ven
cradle head against a granite wall. L
remember a striking incident that char
acterizes his practical philosophy and
his Unborn sagacity.
Some time ago the finance minister,
M. Wite, determined to erect custom
house in Bokhara and TO levy duties on
all products and manufactures entering
into the country. 1t was generally be-
lieved that this innovation would dis
please the emir, who enormously sup
posed that the proceeds of the customs
would 90 to fill the Russian exchequer.
The finance minister, therefore, called
upon him with number of statistical
documents and official returns, careful
study Of which would, he thought, con-
vince the emir Of the advantages Of the
measure, but that careful study never
took place. The minister began the con-
versation by asking whether he was
aware Of the nature Of the proposed
change. The emir said he was. 1T is
in your own interest,"" remarked the
finance minister, "as you can convince
yourself from these documents. " But
the oriental prince merely asked, as
this being done with the knowledge and
consent Of his majesty the carp "Un-
doubtedly it is" replied NJ. Witte.
"Then his majesty's will be done, " ex-
claimed the Asiatic potentate, and the
conference came to a sudden and salts
factory end.
The emir has made strenuous and
persevering efforts to introduce Russian
civilization into his dominions, and il
cannot be gainsaid that in this respect
his subjects of today compare most ia
vorably with their barbaric fathers
This is one Ct the reasons why he is
liked and honored in Russia. He is a
very wealthy man, with simple tastes
and a passionate love of that species of
shopping which in England is reserved
for the ladies. His food differs in no.
wise from that Of his suit, and one Of
the ever recurring dishes consists of
cake fried in the fat Of rams and known
in the vernacular as parvanitshi, which
would give Pantagruel himself a fit Of
fatal indigestion. The emir knows the
cost Of every quality Of silk, calico,
chintz and cotton stuff in every city Of
Russia, and he haggles for long time
over a farthing in the price Of the yard.
He never visits that country without
purchasing large quantities of these
stuffs, which he, in his capacity as
monarch, can take home duty free,
Then he sells them at considerable
profit to his native merchants, who en-
JOY no such privileges. No man is more
careful cf his money than the Prince of
Bokhara, and yet on occasion he can be
as generous as the most prodigal,-Lon-
don Telegraph.
