Thacieray on John Paul Jones.

Traitor, if you will, was NJ John
Paul Jones. afterward knight of his
most Christian majesty's Order of Mer-
it, but Drawer traitor never wore a
sword"
Such wero almost the last words
traced by the hand Of Thackeray, and
they show the astonishing misconcep-
ton of Paul Jones which prevailed in
the mind of one of the justest men that
ever lived, Washington was hero even
to his enemies, yet Washington had ac-
tually hu1 commission in tho Brit
ish army. while Paul Jones could say
to the American congress at the close of
the war: 81 have never borne arms under
any but the American flag, nor have I
ever borne CT acted under any commits
sion but that of the congress of Amer
lea. =" This singular distinction against
Paul Jones extended to the whole of the
feeble naval force of the colonies. Sol
diers were treated from the beginning
as prisoners OF war. while until Paul
Jones forced an exchange of prisoners
upon eqnal terms American sailors were
formally declared to be TRAITORS, pi-
rates and felons Paul JONES'" by

ON THE SCRApsOOK PLAN.
Evangelist Moody Makes UP His Sermons

Evangelist Moody Makes UP His Sermons
From All Sorts of Material.
Moody's method of sermon making is
original, says McClure's Magazine. In
reality his sermons are never made
they are always still in the making
Suppose the subject is Paul" lie
takes monstroHs envelope, capable of
holding some hundreds of slips Of pa
per, labels it "Paul, and slowly stocks
it with original notes, cuttings from
papers, extracts from books, illustra-
tons, scraps Of all kinds, nearly or re-
motley referring to the subject. After
accommodating these, it may be for years,
he wades through tho mass, selects a
number of the most striking points, ar
ranges them and finally makes few
jottings in largo hand, and these he
carries with him to the platform. The
process of locking through the whole
envelope is repeated each time the SER
mon is preached.
Partly OH this account and partly be-
cause in delivery he forgets some points
or disproportionately amplifies others,
no two sermons are ever exactly the
same By this method also-a matter
of much more importance-the delivery
is always fresh to himself. Thus, to
make this clearer, suppose that after
thorough sitting 100 eligible points re-
main in the envelope. Every time the
sermon is preached these hundred are
ovorhauled But no single sermon, by
a mere limitation of time, can contain,
say, more than 70.
Hence, though the general scheme is
the same, there is always novelty in
the arrangement, for the particular 70
vary with each time of delivery. No
greater mistake could be made than to
imagine that Mr.. Moody does not study
for his SERMONS. On the contrary, he is
always studying. When in the evan
gelistic field, the batch of envelopes,
bursting with fairness, appears the mo-
meEt breakfast is over, and the stranger

THE DECLINE OF WAR.
Pursuit OF Property and Wealth the Main
Cause Thereof.

Pursuit OF Property and Wealth! the Main
Cause Thereof.
The warlike temperament of man has
been one Of his most prominent charac-
toristics from the earliest times. TIC
live to fight has been the chief aim of
most primitive peoples and has been a
leading occupation of all civilized ones.
Armies have grown in size, weapons
have multiplied in number and destruc-
tiveness, battles have grown more and
more deadly in action, while also be-
coming more merciful in their accom-
paniments, but still it is everywhere
apparent that, in spite of these aids to
carnage, the military spirit is Oh the
decline.
May we not look for the cause of this
in the enormously increased cost of war
fare and its interference with the pur-
suit of prosperity and wealth? When
the internal losses to a people become
greater than those they can gain through
conquest and annexation. they viii be
very loath to enter into great conflict.
am very far from saying that many
other causes, such as ethics and grow
ing spirit of mercy, may not have con-
tributed to this pacifcation of the ma
tions, but is it not true that the cost of
war is the chief preventive of war? If
SO, does it net illustrate the rule that
the reactions set up by the vast technical
improvement Of methods of destruction
have reacted OH the primitive cause of
the destruction-viz, the human will
and have lessened the cause by modify
ing the heart and brain Of man?-Pop-

Since succeeding the above-named firm,
whose entire stock, fixtures and good will we
have purchased, we have remodeled the cele-
brated Braddock Distillery in all It's APP
purtenances, until it now stands without a
rival as one of the most complete plants in
the United States for the manufacture of a
perfectly pure all-rye Whiskey for medicinal
or other purposes, free from fusel or other
poisonous oils so frequently found in less
reliable goods.
We have testimonials from leading phys
lcians IN all parts of the country commencing
the Braddock for its medicinal properties.
Among the latest is one from Professor
J. II. Malet. the distinguished chemist of
the University of Virginia. who, at our re-
quest made very careful analysis of it, and
writes as follows
THE sample of Braddock sent me upon
analysis contains no sulphates nor heavy
metals such as "copper" lead or zinc, and APP

from all deleterious foreign substances and
free to more than usual extent from anylic

Ask any physician his opinion of this
analysis.
We take great pleasure in recommending the
Braddock Pure Rye to all seeking or desiring
to obtain an absolutely pure rye whiskey as a
beverage or for medicinal uses. Ask your
dealer for it; don't be induced to take some
thing else. If he does not keep it, order di-
rectly from us.
A prominent physician of Macon, Ca,
writing us few weeks ago. says
In point of purity, flavor, strength and
delicate tone, l have never seen your Brad

Funerals In Yorkshire.

A funeral is still regarded as a very
high festival in rural Yorkshire. A poor
woman was lately heard complaining of
the fare provided at one she had at
tended. "A paltry concern" she said,
scorlfully, "Nobhut cakes aud such
like. Now I've buried five, but sided
'em al off with ami" And this: A
farmer was assisting his daughter in the
choice Of dress, and, seeing her fancy
incline to a blue one, said demonstrating

pen tina might have the luck to be axed
to funeral, and his counsel prevailed.

Amusing Russian Lawsuit.

An italian newspaper gives an ac-
count of an amusing lawsuit which has
taken place lately in a Russian city in
which German is the prevailing Ian
guage. One man sued another to recover
the sum of so rubles, the debtor having
faithfully promised to return the money
on st. Henry's day. But having failed
to do SO for long time the lender dis
covered that the Russian Orthodox
church includes no such saint as St.
Henry, and the judge before whom the
case was tried was much puzzled as to
what verdict he should give. Happily
the idea occurred to him that, saint or
no saint, All Saints day included even
the most doubtful, SO he gave Judgment
that the 90 rubles should be returned
mkll Saints day.
