Baron Hirsch was one of the great
spirits of the world. Throughout his
career, from the beginnings of the
amassing of the great fortune which
gave him his power, to the philan-
thropies which have given him his best
fame, Hirsch exhibited moral and men
tai traits which place him in some re-
CARDS on plane with some of the most
remarkable men of his nation. Hirsch
was successful in everything but his
social theories. Though he demonstrate
ed on a grand scale the impossibility
of crowding the natural advance of a
race artificially, by pecuniary means,
yet Hirsch's honest endeayors on this
line showed the grandeur of a soul
whose influence will live on. His col
onization schemes were never success
full correspondently with the liberality
with which he began them. But the
world, and especially his countrymen,
now that he is dead, will justly carry
in mind what Hirsch would have done
rather than what he actually did do.
He was in his generation one of the
greatest single money-makers of Eu-
rope, and stands in history the most
generous and prodigal distributor of
wealth for the relief of the poor and
suffering. For these things be has just
ly earned the place which he holds in
the admiration of mankind.

THOUGH LOVE Be SLAIN.

Forget?-But that cannot, though you
plead
With me by Lethe's brink till close of
day;
No waves of dull oblivion, dear, Gun wash
The mem'ry of our happy dream away.
The rose Of love hath shed her velvet
leaves,
And all our life of joy is dispossessed;
Yet still claim the sacred right to wear
The shrunk and withered blossom on
my breast.
All! say not when the silver Tyre Is hush
ed,
Remember not the tune wherewith it
thrilledl'
1t is our sweetest pleasure to recall
His song, when death the singers voice
has stilled.

He Had a Good Excuse.

a clergyman was on Western trip
for his health, and happened one Sun
day to stop at little Colorado inn, the
keeper of which was also the superin-
tendent of the local Sunday school. The
superintendent was proud of his schol-
ars, and persuaded his guest to attend
that afternoons session, and to put the
pupils through little examinat ton. The
lateer did as desired, and wound up
with a short discourse on profane
swearing.

The longest and strangest of the com

DR.. Holmes has recognized this in his
ballad of Puritan times, beginning wifi,
the fathers invitation to his little son.
"Come hither, God-be-Glorified, and sir

And it was in a much later period
than the colonial that a worthy person
fourished, commonly known as Tribbv

surname follows its lengthy prefix AZ
surprisingly as a clap of thunder.
But, apart from the rarer and LONGER

much among old town records, or expert
in antiquarian lore, is sure to come
across names odd enough to make him
pause to wonder whether the ancestorS
who bestowed them were so singularlv

Pope Leo a Leader.

Leo XIII. is a leader by his simple
nature and energetic character, as well
as by his position and the circumstan-
ces of the times-the leader of a great
organization of Christian men and wo-
men spreading all over the world; the
leader of vast body of human
thought; the leader of a great conser-
vatiye army which will play IL large
part in any coming struggle. lie will
not be here to direct when the battle
begins, but he will leave strong posi-
ton for his successor to defend, and
great weapons for him to WELD, since
he has done more to simplify and
strengthen the church's organization
than dozen popes have done in the
last two centuries Men of such char
acter fight future campaigns many
times over in their thoughts while all
the world is at peace around them, and
when the time comes at last, though
they themselves be gone, the spirit
they called up still lives to lead and
conquer, the weapons they forged lie
ready for other hands, the roads they
built are broad and straight for the
march of other feet, and they, in their
graves, have their share in the victor
les that come after them.-Century.

There Is lip-homage to virtue that
Is deceitful; but that is where a man
Is false to his own heart, where he
pretends to admire what he cares moth
Ing about, and boasts of emotions that
he has never felt. There are persons
who will deliberately attempt to de-
ceive people into thinking them noble
and generous and disinterested, when
they have no claim whatever to such
a character and no aspirations or long
ings in that direction. That is a hyp-
ocrisy and fraud that deserves the
utmost condemnation and contempt.

Not Worth q Rush,

this brings out the origin of the phrase.
Iii the days before carpets it was the
custom to strew the floor with PUSHES.
When guests of rank were entertained,
rushes, green, fresh and sweet, were
spread for them; but folk of lower de

had already been used, while still hum
bier persons had none, as not even be-

The story told recently in the Chicago
papers of Charles Wheeler's murder
Gus attack upon his wife is a frightful
revelation of the possibilities of crime in
civilized community. Wheeler and
his wife, 1t appears, had quarreled and
parted, the woman going to her moth

her to return long enough to assist in
the work of packing their effects. When
the evening was well advanced he ad-
vised her to retire for the night. With
out suspicion of danger she disrobed
and knelt in prayer at the side of her
bed. He stole upon ner and struck her
repeatedly and savagely in the head
with Ratchet, beside himself with
fury and curslng. The unhappy and
frantic woman managed to get the
blood-stained weapon, and clasping it
TO her naked breast crawled beneath
the bed, begging piteously for life. The
mans mood changed. He called her
by endearing names, bound up her
wounds, drove her, half dead from

1t is fact that seems to be not al
ways appreciated by the majority of
persons that the mind needs rest quite
as much as the body. The idea of rest,
to most people, seems to mean just to
leave off physical exertion; but this is
one of the most serious mistakes. 1t Is
often the case that the mind Is much
more in need Of rest than the body. and
that physical recuperation is next to
impossible without freedom from ment-
al strain and worry.

What seems to be reliable ipforma-
ton from Berlin is to the effect that
the constituents of Rector Ahlwardt
the professional "Jew-baiter," have of
fered him the sum of five thousand
marks to remain in this country. From
the standpoint of the subscribers that
offer may seem TO be fair but the idea
is not likely to be popular on this side
of the Atlantic. We have already a
great surplus of undesirable residents,
dumped here, in many instances. by
nations and communities that used
means somewhat similar to those sug-
gested by Ahlwardts constituents.
We do not want any more such nui-
sances, yet We may consent to the keep
ing of Ahlwardt because it might be for
the general good. In Germany he was
a neverfailing source of disturbance
and continuing and active annoy
ance to people who only asked to be
let alone; here he will have no status
worth talking about and no matter
which way he turns he will find the
authorities averse to his doctrines and
resolved upon the suppression of any
attempts he may make to achieve dis
order.

Actor Herne's Benefit.

When James A. Herne was a young
man and living In Albany, N. Y, he
joined the local stock company and
gained q reputation as character actor.
Having lived and labored in Albany and
its vicinity all his Life, the manager OF
the thestsY thought ii would be q good
idea to let the young actor have q bene-
H..
Mr.. Herns was willing to take one
providing he received one half of the
gross receipts. The event was duly an
nounced and the seats for the perform
ance were turned over to Mr.. Herne to
sell. The father OF the actor was very
well known and exceedingly popular
every here and his scion thought it
would not be . bad scheme to get him to
assist In disposing OF the tickets.
Mr.. Herne, the father, agreed to do all
he could to sell them, and took posses
sion Of the entire lot.
The thsater and its associations never
greatly interes tea the elder Herne, but
he had good busin css acumen. With but
very little effort he sold out the who
bunch of pasteboards, and returned
\ ,me rejoicing.
"wen, Jamsie," said the father,
"you will certsInly have big
house for your benefit. I've sold
every one of those tickets you gave me,
and could not begin to q ccommodste the
crowd"
"That's fine," said James A. "Did
| o. saII
on credit?"
"spot cash for every ons," replied the
father.
"well, let me hsve the money" said
the son, sand I'll turn the managers
share over to him."
"Hers you are" answered the father,
ss he pulled out q whole pocketfun OF
| silver and green backs.
81 sold the high priced ones hrst, and
got as much as 40 cents apiece for them.
They were marked 70 cents, but / knew
you would be satisfied to get half of
that sum. Those that were marked 90
cents went like hot cakes at two shillings
and the 35 cent ones let go at 20 cents"
The benefit was q no Wiling success and
| cost the young actor trlfie over s12,
and the "fun at my expense" Of the
| other mem bers OF the stock company.
Ihe story travelled fast, and every stock
company manager in Americs heard OF
IT. However. 1t was a great big adver.
| tisement for the young actor. and
| throught IL he shortly afterwards OBJ
| taineo a very gooo engagement.
Father and son often laugh hed over the
| affair, but since then Mr.. James A. Hernt
