Lost Grandeur of the East.

A comparison between the annual
revenues of the Byzantine empire in
the beginning of the thirteenth CEN
fury and the present revenues of the
empire of the Ottoman Turks brings
before the minds eye a picture of the
lost grandeur and wealth Of provinces
over which now broods the silence of
desolation. At the period mentioned
the don,inions of the Greek emperors
at Constantinople had been impover-
ished BY the invasion of the Frank
Crusaders, and the chief part of Asia
Minor, with its flourishing cities, had
been wrcsted from the Byzantine mon
archs by conquering Islam; yet the
annual income of the successors of
Constantine amounted to $65O,0OO, 900.
The revenues of the sultan's empire
have shrunk to 100000, 900 per year.
Such is the blight which Turkish mis-
rule has brought upon some of the fair
est regions OF the earth.-Philadelphia

No further testimony ia needed to

GREATEST GREAT MEN.

The greatest theologian was st. Au-
gustine, whose body Of theology at pres
ent constitutes the major part of the
doctrine of the Roman Catholic church.
The leading experimental philosopher
was Bacon, who deemed that the sub
stance of all philosophy lay in testing
the accuracy of the knowledge already
gained.
The most learned philosophical his
torian was Buckle. 1t is estimated that
a single foot-note in his History of
Civilization" must have cost five years
of research.
Virgil was the greatest pastoral poet
who ever lived. Standing next to Homer
as a writer of epics, he nevertheless, in
some passages, excelled his famous mas
ter.
The greatest of all dramatists in any
age or country was Shakespeare. He
excelled in every line of drama, tragedy,
comedy and history, and in each was
equally good
The first and, in most respects, the
greatest of all tragic poets was Aes-
chy1as. His delineation OF the tragic
elements of human conduct has never
