Influence Of HeredItx.

J Many a strong and vigorous characts8
is the outcome of preceding generations
good living. In fact, we owe our exist
ence TO heredity. An evil inheritance ID,
of course, far from beneficial. And how
many young people of today have theix
lives directly accountable TO their par
entsi There is an awful fixity in these
things of nature. Rev. Charles q.
Ames, Unitarian, Boston.
Deeds Versus Creeds.
That mans mind cannot be wrong
whose heart is right, That mans soul
cannot be Goddess whose heart is en-
sconced within a fortress of Cody deed
I would call him impious, be his ply
lacteries vet so broad, or his rosary
yet so well used, whose whole life be-
gins and ends in self interest, and him
would call pious, even though he wor-
ship no God or conform to no ceremo-
ny at ALL who subordinates self to the
interests of the highest God of man.
Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf, Philadelphia.
The Common Interests of Citizens.
We must educate individuals SO that
they may not think of themselves mere
ly as members Of this class or that, bus
as equal members in the larger society.
The workmen should meet other men
than those who share his daily laborA
The man of business should meet others
than those associated with him in his
business enterprises. The more interests
a man has the larger the circle Of his
friends and acquaintance; the more
sides on which he touches the common
life the better citizen he is Rev. s. H.
Crothers, Unitarian, Boston.
Living For Christ.
It is appointed once unto man to die
We hold our lives by sufferance. GuiN
rests upon US. Yet Christ, knowing 10
all, extends the hand of invitation. He
makes himself liable for all our obiiga-
tions. He gives us the benefit Of all hs
possesses. He has already died for IN,
even as the representative Of sin, bus
1t was impossible for death to keep him.
II we have brought TO him liability 10
death, he has brought an infinite 70
serve of spiritual life. Let us live to-
Rether. Let us live unto him, for him
Let our love reflect back his unbounded
devotion. Rev. George N. Luckett.
Presbyterian, Washington.
Pray In the Closet.
Il Is not only public worship, but phi
vate devotion. that renews spiritual
strength-backsliding always begins nj
the closet door. Every Christian man
and woman ought not only to pray to
God morning and evening, but should
have special hour for private devotion.
Again we can wait upon the Lord in
service. The Christian has something to
do In this world Of duty, and as you feel
the burden of others Jesus reveals him
self to you, as in the mount of transfig-
uration. And there we wait on the Lord
in patience. In this world we live on
the dark side of the cloud, but there il
light above u.s. Wait patiently and we
shall see his face.-Rev. NJ. B. Chap
man, Methodist, Louisville.

The Heroism OF Miller In RescuinR 9
Little Girl

The brave work of miller in saving
little girl from drowning is described
by the Indianapolis Journal. The nill-
owner and his wife, itappears, had gone
to the city, leaving an eight-year-old
girl at home. With other children she
went down to the mill to play, and hy
some accident fell into the sluice which
feeds the turbine wheel.
The head miller heard scream. and
not knowing what had happened, ap-
Piled brake and stopped the machin.
cry. Then he ran out, found the little
girl just disappearing under the water.
and in be went after her.
Then he found himself in a. hard
place. The water was eight feet deep.
and he was four feet below the ton Of
the sluice, the sides of which were as
smooth as a polished floor. The girl
was unconscious. How was he to get
her out?
1t took one hand to hold her head
above water, and the other to keep him
self from sinking. He must try to
throw her out, and this, by a great
effort, he did. But the rebound drove
him under water and against the wheel.
where he was in great danger of be-
ing caught and held. He came up
again, however, and now new diff.
Guilty confronted him. How was he to
get out himself? He sank to the bot
tom, gave an upward spring, and as
he came up half-blinded, succeeded in
catching the top of the sluice. Then.
by the greatest exertions, he drew him
self out.
The girl was still unconscious, but bv
vigorous measures was at last revived.

CRUSos'S ISLAND DISAPPEARS.
Reported Sinking of Juan Fernaudex
Land by Volcanic Action.


Land by Volcanic Action.
A few weeks ago vessel putting in
at Lisbon after a trip around Cape
Horn, reported the destruction by vol
canic action of the Juan Fernandez
island, famous as the scene of Robin
son Crusoe." The master claimed to
have seen the catastrophe from the
deck of his vessel, The report was not
given credence at the time by scientific
men, and many denials were printed in
papers and magazines. But Capt.
Powells, of the British snip James Kerr,
asserts that the story is generally be-
lieved by seafaring men all over the
world. The James Kerr has recently
arrived from Newcastle, N. S. W., where
she was laid up four months on account
OF The coal mine striko. Capt. Powells
met very large number of master
mariners there, and says that the de-
struction OF the island was a matter of
common gossip among them. The
captain himself has net passed within
sight Of the islam since 1899, wnen he
secured Photograph of il from the
deck of bis snip. He says that some Of
the captains who arrived in Newcastle
while he was there verified the report,
thta the island was missing.

Beautiful Irish Harps to BE the Vogue
This Season.

There is fashion in musical instru.

an is concerned which compels changes
as sudden and sweeping us those which
take place intregard to the same Young
women's bonnets and hats. Of course
all of them who have pretensiOns to be-

musical" reckon among their accom-
pllshments the ability TO play the
piano, and they do not disdain to de-
vote the surplus of their musical ability
to instrumentsof more portable kind.
For a time il was the banjo, then the
mandolin, then, taking fight upward,
the violin itself was degraded into the
position of fashionable" instrument,
dividing its claims with the violoncello.
We are said to be now on the eve of
another change. According to Music.
the instrument which is to be in vogue
this winter is the Irish harp, which
many young women belonging to the
very smartest society are said to be al
ready industriously practicing. It is
not the large and rather unwieldy thing
we are wont to see in the street orches-
tras, but beautifully finished and dec
GRATED little instrument, some 30 inch
es in height, and about the weight of a
banjo. 1t is, in fact, the article which
the minstrel boy slung behind him
when, with his fathers sword girded
on he set forth on that bellicose expe-
dluon of which the ballads tell us.
The tone of the Irish harp is said to be
particularly sweet, though q little thin.

BESSIE'S GREAT SACRIFICE.
enc Felt Sorry for n Baby Who Had No
Doll,


Ihe stockings had been hung up and
the little ones gathered around the
hearth to hear mamma tell the story
of the Babe of Bethlehem, saws rhe
New York World Their small faces
expressed profound sympathy when
they heard how the Son of God was
born in a stable, how He lay on bed
OF straw, how He shivered in tie cool
December night and how His life was
in danger from the wicked Herod. Lit
tie Bessie seemed to be particularly i'm.
pressed. She said nothing, but one
could see that she was thinking hard.
When, half an hour later, mamma
came 10 Bessie's bed to kiss her good
night, she found the child pressing her
doll to her bosom and gazing at it with
unutterable affection. As she stopped
over the bed Bessie looked up and
asked, earnestly: Mamma, amt Gods
baby got any dolly?"
NO" replied the mother, smiling.
Bessie looked at her doll again and
hugged it. Then conflicting emotions
showed themselves ON the little face.
After long silence the child raised
her eyes, which had such an expression
as those of the martyrs must have worn
at the stake, and said, firmly: Take
it to Him, mamma"
Closing her eyes tight Bessie laid the
doll in her mothers hands and buried
her fsce in the pillow to try to forget
the great sacrifice she had made.

POWER OF A WoMAN's WORD,
1t OVercame the Wrath Of an UnfeclIng
POLICEMAN.

The following pretty story is taken
from the New York Mail and Express,
and is good enough to stand by itself.
He was only an italian fruit-vender.
Their was nothing about him at all like
ly to inspire the beholder with feeling,
one way or another. He was not
ragged enough to call for especial sym
pathy, nor unkempt enough to provoke
disgust. Yet to the policeman on his
beat he was undoubtedly tho object of
considerable aversion. This was shown
by the unrelenting vigor with which
the fruit-seller was pursued from cor
ner to corner by the Jealous guardian Of
the law.
The other day, in a too hurried re-
sponse to the everlasting order to
move on, the peddler's cart was upset,
and his peaches and pears were scat
tered over the ground and across the
street car track. The enraged police
man could barely restrain the impulse
to use his club.
"The dirty loafer!" he exclaimed.
"He did it on purpose-just trying to
excite sympathy"
He has succeeded, then" said a soft
voice at the officers elbow, and a neat
little woman stopped and began to
gather up the scattered fruit.
The officers face reddened. He hesi-
tated moment, and then he, too,
joined in the work of restoration.

DISPUTE OVER HORSES.
Leads to n Charge of Grand Larceny
Against FerdinandO Arigoni.

Ferdinado Arigoni, the well-known
Italian hotelkeeper and contractor, was
arrested yesterday on a charge of
grand larceny. 1t was alleged that
Arigoni stole four horses and two carts
from Vito Girardo, a man who lives
in Dunmore. The alleged theft was
made Thursday night.
Girardo had the horses in his GUS
tody at Moosic, Ferdinado went to the
barn at 6 o'clock Wednesday evening
and drove the horses to the North End.
A search warrant was first issued
by Alderman Millar and the horses
found and sent for safe keeping to
Paine's livery. Angoni was then ar
rested.
He was given hearing at o'clock
last evening before Alderman Millar
Girardo, the prosecutor, was represent
cd by ex-senator M. E. Mcdonald, and
the defense by Attorneys John J. Muir
ply, William Vokelek and Boyle and
Beale.
Arigoni's defense was that he owned
the horses. He and Girardo had been
partners in business at Amsterdam, N.
Y, where they were at work repairing
the Erie canal. At that time the horses
and carts were used under the firm
control. He averred that the partner
ship had not been dissolved; hence he
was not guilty of larceny, but simply
took his own property. Girardo al
legged that the property belongs to him.
Arigoni was held in $500 bail to ap-
pear at court.
