RELIGION IN EDUCATION.

The want of religious teaching in
school is a direct cause of immortality.
Moralists have gone through great
many devious windings in trying to
formulate rule which will at once de-
clare what right is and what wrong is.
If anything that is pleasing or profit
able, or for the social happiness of
others, is declared to be right, then the
door is opened at once for the inrush-
ing tide of unrighteousness and de-
structive evil. Only one rule of right
has ever been found to answer the
question of morals, and this rule is
found not in reason, but in revelation.
Moreover, revealed goodness has al
ways been known to mankind, and
known only by religion The will of
God is the rule of moral conduct. This
will of God could be learned even by
the heather, and when the heather did
the things contained in the law they
became, through natural inspiration,
law unto themselves. But Christian
fty has made clear to mankind what
was only dfmly discerned by those who
knew not Christ.-Churchman.

ENJOYMENT AT HOME.

Do not shut up your house lest the
sun should fade your carpets, and your
hearts, let a merry laugh should shake
down some of the muSty cobwebs there.
If you want to ruin your sons, let
them think that all mirth and social
enjoyment must be left on the thresh-
old without, when they come home at
night When once home is regarded
as only a place to eat, drink and sleep,
the work is begun that ends in reckless
degradation. Young people must have
fun and relaxation somewhere; and if
they do not have it at their own
hearthstone it will be sought at an
other, and perhaps at less profitable
places Therefore, let the fire burn
brightly at night, and make the home
stead delightful with all those little
arts that parents SO perfectly under
stand.
Do not repress the buoyant spirit of
your children; half an hour of merri-
ment around the lamp and freight of
a home blots out many care and an
noyance during the day; and the best
safeguard they can take with them in
to the world is the unseen influence of
a bright little domestic circle Put
home first and foremost. for there will
come a time when the home circle will
be broken; when you will "long for the
touch of vanished hand. and the
sound of a voice that is STILL" and
when your greatest pleasure will be
in remembering that you did all in
your power to put a song under every
burden to make each other happy.-Al-
bany Journal.

cHE,ERFULNEss.

Be cheerful 1t is trite advice to tell
women to take each day as it comes,
to avoid remorse over what is done
and forebodings over what is to come,
but it is no less valuable advice. Ner-
vous prostration is seldom the result
of present trouble or work, but of work
and trouble anticipated. Mental ex-
haustion comes to those who look
ahead and climb mountains before they
arrive at them. Resolutely build wall
about today and live within the enclos-
ure. The past may have been hard,
sad or wrong. It is over. The future
may be like the past, but the woman
who worries about it may not live to
meet it. If she does she will bear it.
The only thing with which she should
concern herself is today, its sunshine,
its air, its friend, its frolics, its whole
some work, and, perhaps, its necessary
sorrow.-American Friend.

adopted a system of reform which for
its practicability and effectiveness in
striking at the root of the evil COM
mends itself to temperance reformers
the world over. and is as follows;
Throughout Denmark the police,
when they find a drunken man in the
streets, summon cab, place him inside
and drive him to the police station,
where he is detained until he is sober.
Then he is driven home; the police
never leaving him until he is safe with
his family. The cabman then makes
his charge, the police surgeon his, the
constables theirs. and this bill is pre-
sented to the proprietor of the estab-
lishment where the culprit took his
last and overpowering glass. The sys-
tenn is tending to reduce the appalling
drunkenness which formerly prevailed
in Copenhagen.

EGYPTIAN TREE PLANTING.

Systematic efforts have been made
in different parts of the world to in
troduce a growth of trees where they
had never been known, from which i'm
portant results have followed in many
instances Egypt, which had formerly
only about six rainy days during the
year, has, since having planted trees
on an extensive scale, already attained
about five times that number. Sixteen
square miles of the swampy, unhealthy
country along the Bay of Biscay was
planted with thousands of trees, espec-
tally the cork oak and swamp pine
The trees have drained the land so as
to destroy the swamp fevers, and
change it into a healthy country with
fine forests. Biscay law requires that
planted.

the whereabouts of Dick Bland, the
whole town would stand ready to pilot

buddhism Now Thought to Be of
Greater Antiquity Than Hitherto
Believed.

Dr. Fuhrer, archaeological surveyor
in the northwestern provinces of India,
has made discovery which seems to
carry the origin of Buddhism further
back than the accepted date in the fifth
century before Christ. In the village
of Nijlva, in swamps within the bor-
ders of the state of Nepal, he found an
Asoka pillar, surrounded for half a
mile by vast brick ruins of monasteries
and of a still magnificent domed tomb
of Konakamana. The portion of the
pillar which is still erect has an in
scrfption establishing the fact that the
Buddha commemorated is the same
as the Konagamana of the Buddhists
of Ceylon, who was the twenty-third
mythical predecessor of the historical
Buddha The Napalese speak of the
pillar as the smoking pipe of Bhima
Sen, their giant hero
The native durbar, or council, is to be
asked to sanction a scientific investi-
cation of the ruins of this once great
settlement of the Aryan tribe of SAX
vas, who settled 112 miles to the north
east of the city of Benares at a date
hitherto only conjectural. General
Cunningham, who, under Lord Can
ming, began the archaeological survey
of India, long ago identified Kapila-
vastu, in this region, as the birthplace
of the historical Gautama and the cap
ital of the Sakya clan. 1t is in the sub

BLAND ON RELIGION.
Recently. when spoken to about the
A. P. A, opposition. because of the
religious belief of his wife, Mr. Bland
said: Il was born and raised Pro-
testant. L am one yet, and 1 am will
ing to die in the faith, yet do not con-
slider my chances of heaven any bet
ter than the chances of my good wife.
If true Christian virtue, character and
morality, and a life devotedly true to
the teachings and precepts of our Saw
ior are to be the measure of our future
happiness, 1 cannot expect to reach
that state of bliss she SO richly de-
serves.
Let the fact be used for all it is
worth. If mans religion destroys his
influence, then it is hardly freedom of
conscience
If all who profess Christianity would
give all their precious time to the re-
lief Of the widow and orphan-would
give their substance for the care of
poor, starving humanity all around
them-there would be no more pulling
of Christian ears or stirring up of strife
among those who profess to follow the
meek and lowly Jesus "

engineers Are About to Investigates
the Delta of the mississippi River.
Colonel E. j. Corthell. an engineer of
note, who is now making SURVEYS for a
five million-dollar bridge across ths
Mississippi river near New Orleans
says that the city is steadily sinking
He states that there is movement on
foot among eminent engineers I'd have
an investigation made into the. delta
country with view to ascertain how
much sinking there has been durine-
the last thirty years. 1t is a fact thar
the entire delta country is gradually
sinking. From a number of bench.
marks made by surveyors years ago ON
trees, ETC., on the gull coast. and. a
comparison of the mean level Of tba
gulf now with what it was twenty
years ago, in connection with the
present bench marks, tina fact has de-
veloped that the delta coast has sunk
en- at least a foot within the last
thirty or forty years. There is no
doubt that the city of New Orleans is
some six inches lower now than II was
forty years ago. The intention. is to
ascertain the exact sinking of the earth
and to investigate the causes which
have produced it.

the siiverites of the country cast aside
their Republicanism and Democracy
and decide to go it alone, Bland will
probably De the man to act as their
standard bearer. Since 1873 he has
been fighting for the cause of silver,
and today stands as firmly as ever for
ais favorite metal.
Strange things happen sometimes in
politics. and it is not stretching it a
point to view ex-Congressman Bland
seriously in the light of a presidential
possibility. If he should be placed on
the road to the White house, the ma
tion can count upon seeing many
strange spectacles.
A CoLLARLESS CANDIDATE.
Bland is not an average candidate
o. any means. He wears socks, but
Ae doesn't wear a collar on his shirt
except Sundays. He wears knee-high
boots most of the time and a soft
SLOUGH hat. His pants are always two
or three inches shorter than they
ahould be, but then Lebanon mud
nticlxs like cement. and people who live
tn that district can be pardoned for
wearing what was facetiously called
singh waters Mr.. Bland chews a
quarter of a pound of tobacco every
DAY in the week and could give points
to Mayor Strong of New York in that
polite art.
He is poor man simply because a
long career in the political whirlpool
a. ever nlunted the edges of his hon.
esty. He never accepted valuable pres
ents or gifts of any kind. When he
rides on a railroad he pays his own
way like any other humble citizen
When he can't nav he STAYS at nome
He could have all the free passes he
wanted for the asking, but he won't
ask.

Himalayan district now called Basti,
and must have extended northward
into Nepal which is still second in sa-
credness only to Benares.
Nepal has now serious dispute with
the Llama government of Ishasa on its
hands and is always jealous of British
or foreign visitors. But, should the
government of India not discourage its
proposed campaign in Thibet. the dur
bar may be willing to help DR.. Fuhrer
to dig on sufficiently great scale. Ne
pal is almost as little known as Thibet,
although it is protected state of the
government of India, and it seems time
that it was opened, as Kasmir has
been, to the savant and the traveller

never struck it rich. Then ne studied
law and for a while practiced with his
brother. In 1860 the Piute Indians did
some killing, and Bland went out with
a company of volunteers to recipro-
cate. That is about the extent of his
soldering record. In 1872 the people
of Laclede county, in which Lebanon
is situated, became convinced that
Bland was the man they wanted in
congress. They sent him there with
big majority and kept on sending him
until the Democratic landslide in 1894
Since then he has been back on the
farm, as poor as when ne went away
