A Woman's Ready Wit.

The Nashville Sun tells the fol-
towing story, whice is pretty enough
to be true, and if true, good enough
to bear repetition;
a young woman who lives near
a railroad crossing, looking out OF
the window the other day, saw a
laborer jump from one track to the
other to escape an approaching
freight train. He was apparently
dazed by terror and stood still, not
seeing that an express train was
rushing down upon him. The girl
saw that before she could make
him understand his danger 1T would
be too late. She therefore threw
up her arms, shriekiug wildly,

laberer, springiug toward her in

then at the woman crying and
laughing in the window, and taking

Ha Takes ''Harbor OF Home" For His Sub
tect and PAYS a Fine Tribute to the Do
mestic Hearth and It's Influence.
WASHINGTON, Feb. This sermon
of DR.. Talmage will set many memories
ringing with the good old times. His
subject was "Harbor Of Home" and
the text Mark v, 10. go home to thy
friends and tell them how great things
the Lord hath done for thee E"
There are a great many people long
ing for some grand sphere in which to
serve God. They admire Luther at the
diet Of Worms and only wish that they
had some such great opportunity in
which to display their Christian PROV
ess. They admire Paul making Felix
tremble, and they only wish that they
had some such grand occasion in which
to preach righteousness, temperance and
Judgment to come. All they want is an
opportunity to exhibit their Christian
heroism. Now the apostle comes to US,
and he practically says, II will show
you a place where you can exhibit all
that is grand and beautiful and glorious
in Christian character and that is the
domestic circle.
If one is not faithful in an insignifi-
cant sphere, he will not be faithful in
a resounding sphere. If Peter will not
help the cripple at the gate Of the tenn
pie, he will never be able to preach
8. 900 souls into the kingdom at the
Pentecost. If Paul will not take pains
to instruct in the way Of salvation the
sheriff of the Philippian dungeon, he
will never make Felix tremble. He who
is not faithful in a skirmish would not
be faithful in an Armageddon The
fact is, we are all placed in just the po-
sition in which we can most grandly
serve God, and we ought not TO be
chiefly thoughtful about some sphere Of
usefulness which we may after awhile
gain, but the all absorbing question
with you and with me ought to be,
Lord, what wilt thou have me (now
and here) to do?"

And in the first place l remark that
home is powerful test OF character.
The disposition in public may be in gay
costume while in private it is in disha-
billie. AS play actors may appear in one
way on the stage and may appear In
another way behind the scenes, so prl-
yate character may be very different
from public character. Private charac-
ter is often public character turned

into his parlor as though he were dis

may be a swamp of nettles' There are

Good Cheer at Home.

Reputation is only the shadow OF
character, and very small house some
times will cast very long shadow.
The lips may seem to drop myrrh and
cassia and the disposition to be as
BRIGHT and warm as sheaf OF sun
beams, and yet they may only be q
magnificent show window to wretched
stock Of goods. There is many man
who is affable in public life and amid
commercial spheres, who. in cowardly
way. takes his anger and his petulance
homo and drops them in the domestic
circle.
The reason men do not display their
bad temper in public is because they do
not want TO be Knocked down. There
are men who hide their petulance and
their irritability just for the same rea-
son that they do not let their notes 90
TO protest; it does not pay. Or for the
same reason that they do not want a
man in their stock company to sell his
stock at less than the right price, lest
il depreciate the value. AS at sunset

Paper Money Real Money.

Henri Cernuschi, when before the
United States monetary commission in
1877, made this statement: "With ref
erence to paper money, another great
error prevails. Many people believe
that it's value depends upon the prom
Use of the government to repay them
III metal one day or other. This prom
Use does not add to the purchasing
power of paper money. A promise to
execute without date for executing is
not a promise. The only reason why
paper money has a value is that it is a
legal tender; that nobody can refuse it,
that the government accepts it for the
payment of taxes. 1t is for this rea-
son that it circulates in the same way
that gold and silver circulate. Paper
money is not a credit paper, but an
enforced standard. Gold and silver
money is also an enforced standard."-

men who are perfect during all their
career, from their infancy up, who do
no grow by circumstances, we shall
have to take very young men to be
Presidents, younger than Mr.. Bryan
and younger than Mr.. Mckinley. After
they perform one public act, they may
find it necessary to diverge from it the
next day. You cannot find men who
are perfect, if you study their political
history. 1t seems to me there is moth
ing in the question. 1t is not strange,
however. that Mr.. Bryan should be
criticised, because it is very we'll known
that he is going to be the next Presi-
dent of the United States Oaughter),
and, of course, the opposition have
commenced to criticise him.

Stephan's Start In Life.

The late Postmaster General Stephan
of Germany probably owed his start in
life to his gallantry and his knowledge
of foreign languages. Anxious to Sc
cure a place in Berlin, he visited the
director of the p%ostofice there, who,
however, snarled at him that "every
young mar in Germany seemed to
want to come to Berlin. not to work,
though, but to loaf" and turned his
back on him. AS Stephen left the
building he noticed a crowd around a
woman who had a difficulty with the
driver, who could not understand her.
Stephan served as interpreter, and the
matter was soon arranged. The pos
tai director, who had watched the
scene from his window, now called
back Stephan and asked him what had
happened. The young man explained,
and when the director heard that he
spoke not only Italian, but English,
French, Spanish and Russian, he i'm
mediately engaged him as private sec.
rotary.

Senator Butler Of North Carolina has
introduced a resolution directing the
committee on privileges and elections
to inquire into the p~racticability Of ap-
plying the principle of initiative and
referendum to federal legislation in

cided to make the investigation
through a subcommittee.
