the vanquished prize fighter. And in
these days the successful slugger is not
the great popular hero that he was few

apparently lost the respect even of the

DOING THE Divine WILL.

II is lamentable fact that many prom
inent religious newspapers continue to
waste space and printers ink in discuss
ing the dream of universal church
which shall embrace all Christian be-
levers and crystalline the worlds faith
In the tenets of single creed. For gen.
erations this has been darling project
with great numbers OF devout men and
women. Yet, as civilization progresses
and mankind's intellectual development
broadens and widens. this scheme grows
more aud more chimericai.
II is fortunately true that time has
softened the asperities Of religious con-
troversy and made theological persecu-
ton 10 enlightened communities impos-
sible. Men no longer imprison each
other for a dogma or burn heretics.
Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, Uni
tarians and Catholics, in the United
States at least, live together and transact
business in common with peace and
amity. But this does not indicate that
the minds OF men are gradually coming
together in harmony on questions OF re-
ligion. In every church the proportion
who decline to regard creeds as the chief
and most essential thing. and who in
sist upon the right of thinking for them
selves in religious as well as in secular
matters, is steadily growing greater.
The idea that humanity, with its iucreas-
ing disposition to independent thought,
can ever be brought to subscribe to any
one set Of dogmas as the ultimate ex-
preston OF Christian faith is wholly
futile.
Religious journals and clergymen who
have devoted SO much energy and enthu-
siasm to the plan of universal church
will do far more for mankind's benefit
II they will turn their attention to the
vital work Of enforcing those obligations
OF purity, patience and charity which are
the basis of Christianity in all it's forms.
That men shall ever come to think alike
regarding the doctrines of the atonement,
the sacraments and the final punishment
OF the wicked is impossible without a
complete revolution in human nature.
But if religious leaders will concentrate
their efforts upon the teaching of the
practical duties OF Christian life, they can
do much to create unity Of conduct that
is UNNECESSARILY more important than
unity of creed.
The record OF the life Of Christ aboundi
with his exhortations to obey the will o.
the Eternal Father-to live nobly anC
uprightly, to succor the distressed, to res
cue the outcast, to avoid all manner o
evil, malice and uncharitableness. TIT
words, "If any man do NY will, he shall
learn OF the doctrine" have lost none o
their power aud verify with the lapse o
centuries. The highest and best form o
divine worship is found in the practica
recognition of everyday existence o
that sublime and everlasting truth
the brotherhood of man.

There is promise that the Roentgen
rays may solve the problem regarding
aerial navigation. The enthusiasts who
have dreamed Of dispensing with the or
binary means of travel have always
claimed that the only obstacle in their
way-the only thing that prevented them
from constructing perfect flying ma
chine-was their inability to get an ac-
curate knowledge OF the motions of the
internal structure of bird in flight
Now Brooklyn electrician claims that
through a new machine he has invented
the kinetoskotoscope he calls 1.-THE il
able to see animate objects heretofore in
visible to the naked eye, and that by
placing bird before the instrument the
motions of the bone frame are apparent.

cause to doubt it, the great mystery OF

book and another portion of Mother
Shipton's prophesv be realized.

roy:
He does not regard the competitive

moe than once he has recommended to
his emperor material notifications in
the existing system. But it must be
confessed that it has stood the test of
centuries with much benefit to China,
and its practical operation has demon
strated that it possesses two merits of
inestimablc value to any nation. First,
it brings all the offices of the empire

and secondly, it diminishes the incen-

small crop was produced from vigorous
vines and the beds kept free from grass

second year, or even II third, may be
profitable, depending much ON season,
fertility Of soil, cultivation, etc. When
old beds are to be continued, they
should be moved Immediately after
fruiting and burned over. Then reduce
rows to six inches in width, hoe out all
weeds and grass, apply fine manure and
cultivate often, same as new beds. With
this treatment new runners will soon
appear, and a nice matted row may be
secured, producing many berries the fol-
lowing season. As Il rule new beds cv-
