cLERGYMEN AND LIQUOR sHops.

The Rev. Rollin II. Hack and the Rev.
Leroy 5. Bean have been making a tour
Of the liquor saloons in Portland, and
last evening they gave an account of the
same in their respective churches. As
their purpose had been well advertised
in the newspapers, there was large au-
dience in attendance at both places. MIR.
Hacks lecture was rather more attrac-
tive as it was illustrated by stereopticon
views of the exterior of the alleged rum
shops. but MIR. Beams was made more
realistic perhaps, by the exhibition of
bottles filed with liquor which he had
purchased.
Both lectures were delivered for the
sole purpose OF promoting civic virtue and
suppressiug crime. Mr.. Hack discovered
several rum shops on India street, picu-
ures of which he gave, and he named
three or four hotels where he had either
purchased liquor or seen it sold. 1t does

We have often been told of late that the
most efficient instrument for the extern
sion and Improvement of historical
knowledge is the spade, writes Professor
F. Max Muller in the Illustrated London
News. 'Dig, dig, digp' has been the
war cry of many interchangeable explorers
not only in Italy, and in Greece
but in Babylon and Nineveh, in Egypt
and Arabia-nay, in South Africa and
Central America. A new school of ar.
cheologists has sprung up that-from
scaptein, to dig-may be called the Soap
tic, in opposition to the Soeptio school.
The late DR.. Schliemann was the most
active and vigorous representative of
this Scaptic school, and with his spade
in his hand he was very fond of asking,
How can you doubt the existence of
Troy and the fesh-andbone reality of
Helen when my wife is actually wearing
one of her golden necklets? Ard how
can you question the tn of the tragedy
of Agamemnon when I can show you his
very skeleton from the tombs of Myce-
nae" Schliemann himself was con-
WINGED that the spade would solve a II the
difficulties of ancient history and mytho-
logy. But he hardly knew all the diff
oultes that had to be solved. He forget
that, granting the necklet which he
found was that of Helen, it would have
been necessary in order to remove all the
difficulties of her story. to find the very
eggshell from which she and her brother
had been Matched by Leda, the unfaithful
wife of King Tyndareus. He forgot that
thu skeleton he found at Mycenae could
hardly have been that of Homer's Ag-
memnon, considering that it showed no
traces of any wounds or injuries inflicted
by the hands Of Ciytemnestra and egis-
thus. He forgot in fact, that after the
materials of ancient history have been
dug up they still require the scholar or
the higher critic to interpret them, and
the sceptio to help us to distinguish be-
tween truth and fancy
Still, the light which the spade has
thrown on some Of the darkest chapters
of ancient history should be gratefully

LORD sALIsBURY,s LATEST DELIv-
FRANCES.

ASA1INOlLS.
Lord Salisbury's deliyerance on the
Venezuelan and Armenian questions is
a weak and fiabby affair, we'll calculated
to justify Bismarck's description of him
as man of wood painted to look like
iron. AS to the Armenian question,
while he expresses sympathy he practi-
oally says that England can do nothing
because insthe first place she has not the
military power to occupy Armenia, and
because in the second place, if she un-
dertakes to do it she will become in
viewed with the other powers. OF course
viii greatly encourage tho Sultan to GO
ahead and finish the Armenians wherever
their presence threatens his dominion
because it will convince him that he has
nothing whatever to fear from England
A while ago Salisbury read with much
dramatic effect in d public speech a
letter he had received from the Sultan,
begging England to keep her hands off
and promising to carry out the reforms
he bad pledged himself to. Then, &C
cording to the premier, the powers were
all in accord and had never been out of
harmony for a moment, but the massa-
eTes have continued ever since without
abatement and now the confession is made
that England can't do anything, both be-
cause she lacks the power and because
the other natious of Europe won't let
her There can be 10 question that when
Salisbury made his first speech he gave
the public to understand that somethi ng
liheTately and purposely. Now he prao.
tically admits that he was deceiving
them, for there has been no change in
the situation that has aff ected the power
of England to deal with the stu
alton. II she does not have the power
now she never had it, and if she ever had
the power she has it STILL His latest de-
liverance leaves him in very unpleasant
predicament and withshis craftsmanship
very much furnished.

question is equally feeble. HI vaguely

be his Interpretation of Mr. Monroe's
belief He has committed himself to
nothing practically. Nobody can
prove whether the Monroe doctrine
as Mr.. Monroe understood it would
compel the English to retire, if
the territory in dispute should be found
to belong to Venezuela, or would not
Practically, therefore. all that Lord Sails
bury's words amount to is that
when the crisis comes he will interpret
the Monroe doctrine as he thinks will be
best under all the circumstances for Eng
land. In his correspondence with Score
tary Olney he gave our government to
understand that the Monroe doctrine
was without authority, and that even if
III was entitled to any standing it would
not apply to the Venezuelan case. He
was quite as firm in that attitude as in
his attitude on the Armenian question.
he has executed a complete backdown
In regard to the former, and apparently
he is getting into position to go through
similar manoeuvre as to the latter.

rrhors The diamond rree Crows.

No work on horticulture makes men
ton of this interesting shrub, which
rarely attains large size, but Is mainly
restricted to number Of small cuttings.
The pawnbroking trade Is where the
cultivation is carried ON. An unscrupu-
lous pawnbroker having had certain dia-
mond ornaments intrusted to his safe
keeping for awhile is the gardener, and
it is in the arid atmosphere of his work
shop that the work of propagation will
be observed.
A piece Of jewelry in which diamonds
are set is carefully examined, and stones
Of similar quality, but just shade
smaller in size, are cleverly substituted
The removed stones are IN turn ex-
changed for others i-am another article
again, an imperceptible shade bigger
until at last the original cutting has de-
veloped quite respectable growth and di-
mensions. 1t is not wise 10 force the
growth to too great an extent, and so
the original process is being continually
repeated.
The beauty of the operation lies in the
slight danger Of detection. The substl-
tuition in each case varies but very little
in the matter of size, and the owners OF
the property rarely or never notice what
has taken place, but "many a little
makes a muckle," and III the course OF
a few weeks a skillful gardener may
make a very good thing out of a diamond
tree. -Pearson's Weekly

At Essen, Germany, in the great
Krupp gun works, which are situated
at that place, there Is hammer that
weighs 30 tons. This hammer works in
connection with an anvil weighing so
tons, which, in turn, is placed on an
anvil block weighing 120 tons. Profess
or Schumann, trained flea man" of
Bern, Switzerland, visited Essen and
the great war machine works few
years ago. Upon returning home he set
about making a model Of the great
hammer which should be complete in
every detail, but on such a minute scale
that the hammer could be raised by a
flea instead Of by 100 horsepower en-
gino, as in the original In its completed
state this wonderful miniature model,

are both Of solid gold, the pulleys Ger

nun. A flea, trained by Mr.. Sohumann,
the maker of the model, will, at the
word Of command, hoist the hammer to
the top Of the frame, where it is auto
matically set free, descending in pre-
cisely the same manner as the monster
after which it was modelled. st. Louis

The eye Ct the serpent seems to have an

In all nocturnal animals the eyes are
placed to look FORWARD, as in the case of
man.
A bit of gold leaf one eone-thousand-one-
hundred and twenty fifth part of an inoh

Nero had bulging, nearsighted eyes. He

Many kinds of fish see equally well in
every direction, their eyes being so proIni-
nent as to-command a wide field of vision.
Frederick the Great had eyes of clear
blue. One of his biographers compared
the luster of his eye to that of polished
steel
Many creatures of the lowest orders OF
animal life are provided with eye spots,
which probably give only an impression of
light.
Milton became blind through writing
by poor light. His eyes were large, of
clear blue, and their appearance was in no
way impaired by his blindness.
Tho pupil of the eye is circular in man,
but in cats and some other animals it Is
oblong. The pupil Of man, in very

spot, while the eye of a cat under the same
conditions will exhibit vertical slit or
