JONAH AND THE WHALE.


cuphiihu @ieISyHla'.
(From the Cleveland Leader.)
Dean Williams of Trinity cathedral,
does not believe that whale swallowed
Jonah, and that after three days the
whale deposited. the prophet safe and
sound on dry land. Dean Williams told
large congregation at the cathedral
last evening that this appeared to him
to be an imaginative romance, and then
he pointed out the lessons the story was
intended to convey.
Dean Williams began his address by
saying that when any one referred to
the book of Jonah he always meant the
story of Jonah and the whale, and few
persons remembered any of the rest Of
the book.
And yet that fish story occupies only
a Few lines in four chapters" said the
dean. THAT story is flung at the or
thodox on every occasion. If you don't
believe that story you are hereto and
are ready for the stake. That has been
made a heroic test of faith. Mr. Moody
said he would believe that Jonah swal-
lowed the whale if the book said so.
"All the great beauty and the great
truths OIL lHdL pooh art olsolleil.= I'VE
have been so Intent on the hsh story
that we have lost those beautiful
truths We have concentrated our at
tention so closely on that story of the
whale that the rest of the narrative has
entirely escaped us. But there is no
more beautiful book--none in which the
truths of the gospel are more thorough
ly inculcated than in that book.
Let us briefly review the story;
Jonah sought to escape his duty, and
found that God was on the sea as we'll
as on the land. When the great storm
came upon the ship Jonah hnally told
the sailors that he was a runaway
prophet, and like a brave man, told
them to cast him into the sea and then
the storm would be abated. And the
heather sailors stand out in strong and
favorable contrast in their refusal to do
this. Finally they yielded to his en-
treaties and did so, however.
These men told that great fish
swallowed Jonahand we are given inthe
next chapter the ode Of Thanksgiving
he composed inthe whales belly. Fin
ally we are told the whale cast him up
on dry land, and later Jonah went on to
Nineveh, finding he could not shirk his
duty. After God had repented, as the
story goes, Jonah was dissatisfied that
the storm of destruction did not fall on
Nineveh and his prediction as a prophet
was unfulflled, and he waxed wroth,
and the book ends with the dramatic
climax of God rebuke to His disgrun-
| tied prophet.
| THE book Of Jonah cannot be con-
sidered a prophecy, although the name
| of Jonah is that of one of God
| prophets; nor is it historic, although
Jonah's name is part Of history The
| story seems to have a dramatic cast
over it: it is written in late language,
and packet was running from Nine
| web to Tarshish, and later customs pre-
vailed, and there is fanciful cast over
| it allan imaginative cast. Under
stand me; should have been astonish-
ed if there had not been miracles to
bring this book to us; but there is no

FASHION NOTES.
Tulle cllngs to its rashionableness.

Tulie Clings to its FashionabIeness.
Tulle and chiffon will not give in.
The dealers seem to get caught, too, for
every little while they make up their
minds that the last gun of tulle and
chiffon has been fired, they get afraid
of the stock they have on hand and
they sell out at fearful sacrifice Then
tulle and chiffon takes another start
and all the women who bought at
bargain hug themselves. In the costume
shown herewith chiffon has but very
small part, being only used in ruffies to
finish the sleeves, but the company it is
in proves it to be "of the quality"
This dress is made of black brocaded
satin, the bodice having a sharp point
in back and front, yoke of white satin
embroidered with black silk braid and a
white satin plastron decorated with sill
yer buttons where it joins the yoke.
The latter is finished with double wired
revers banded with black The skirt is

The London Globe reports the death
Of the last of the "Potwallopers." His
name was Richard Atkinson, his age
ninety-seven and the scene Of his pot
walloping glories the ancient borough
of Pontefract. The "Potwalloper' was
a man who acquired the franchise by
the extraordinary process of having
boiled his own pot in the constituency
fer six months before the election. AS
an electoral class they We're, as was
natural, sublimely corrupt, and were
deservedly abolished in 1892. They
were however picturesque survival
of, probably, the oldest franchise, next
to that of the forty shilling free
holder"

Lord Londonderry, before closing the
Rainton colliery works near Durham,
which he leases from the Ecclesiastical
commissioners, had frank explana-
ton with the miners. He brought out
his books, showing that in 1895 he had
lost a15,000 by working the pits. In
1887 the collieries just paid; it was
then an eleven-hour pit, while now it
is a ten-hour pit. 1t cost then shil-
Iings So pence in wages to mine a ton
of coal, while now the cost is shil-
lings 6 pence per ton. On the amount
turned out the difference is e16,0O0,
which is practically the amount of
the annual loss. He is not rich enough
to lose $4,000 a year and has no choice
but to close the pits, unless the men
choose to work for wages that will en-
able their employer to live.

ON EYES AND TYPHOID.


The regular monthly meeting of the
Topeka Academy of Medicine and Sur
gerry was held last night at A. o. .. w.
hall, and a goodly number of medicos
were present, including several visiting
physicians from outsof the city. DR..
Ward presided and two papers were read
and presented for discussion
DR.. G. A. Wall read the first paper, en-
titled scientific Optician Glass Fitting"
The paper was well written and abound
ed in originality, presenting several new
phases of the old story of quackery and
the code of ethics.
In one portion of his paper the doctor
waxed picturesque, saying. "Had it not
been for the eye, that beautiful and pa
thetic poem, The Old Oaken Bucket,
which we have so often read in our
childhood. would never have been writ
ten. When Wordsworth wrote How dear
to our hearts are the scenes of our child
hood, when fond recollections present
them to view he reproduced scenes
which had been photographed on his re-
tina years before, The negative had
faded, but the impression 1t conveyed TO
the brain still remained.
The paper was discussed by Doctors
Mitchell, Magee, kirkpatrick, Grubbs,
Avres, Ward and McVey, and elected
much comment on both sides of the ques-
ton on charlatanism and ethical laws.
Several personal experiences with quacks
and the difficulties of adhering strictly
to the code were related:t .Dr Ward said:
"No matter how much of code worship
er man may be-, he has at some time
in his life an article or a case which he
would like to see in the columns of
a daily newspaper" 4
The paper by DR.. Gilbert on the ba-
cillns of typhoid fever, although termed
paper, was practical demonstration.
Doctor Gilbert had seven racks of speci-
mems showing the growth CT
the three different bacilli in
different media. These three bacilli
