Then we criticise every thing
and every body. When we are
doing nothing ourselves we are
dissatisfied with THE work of
others. We are apt to complain
OF the preacher and his preach
ing, and suggest that "a change
of pastors is all the church needs"
We complain of the officers and
find fault with their work. Your
| only hope is to let Mark get
hold OF you. Mark is 4 religious
"hustler." Ii the first chapter
he uses the expression "stra1ght-
way" and Immediately" eight
times-he is i'll a hurry. His
gospel is written for busy people.
After You have been rushed
through Mark, reach over there
and let the hard handed James
get hold Of you and show YOU
how 10 work"

gro1pS dI.r and our view of heaven
IS obscurcd. The dust from the
wheels of pleasure and traffic get
into our eyes and we can't See
how to walk BY faith. Make a
voyage to Pati1 oss and find that
old rock on which St John stood
that Lordsday morning when he
was III the Spirit. " AS the
Lord says to him. come up
higher, take him by the hand
and he will lead you up, aud,
perhaps in, where the glory that
CLEANS through the gates
will light up your soul again
with an ardent hope. YOU will
see and hear
lie Saints II triumph Sing,
While tuned TO tones of golden harps,
Heavens bouudIes5 arches ring,
No more IN tears and signing,
Our weak hosannas dying,
But hallclujals loud and high
A>O1l LIZ u4id1lIuS5 through lnc SKY,
Our chorus thrills their countless
thrOugs;
Ten thousand times tel thousand
tongues
r1ll them with overwhelming songs,
Jerusalem my home

all men unto me-" Just as the
sun reaches its unseen fingers
down and draws water up from
mud holes and filthy ponds, and
puri6es it, 50 Jesus the son Of
Righteousness draws by the I'M
seen power of his love the I'M
clean hearts Of sinful men. Then
the influence Of these regener-
ated men descended again on the
lives Of others and help and bless
them.

 A. A. Spendlove, of Chihuahua, re- gently returned from New York, where he succeeded in financing the Greet railroad. This road starts from Chihuahua city and will run west as far as Guerrero in the same state, where 1t will connect with Rio Gran de, Sierra Madre and Pacific R. R.
 Augusto Genin, a well known French resident of the City of Mex ico, has applied to the department of encouragement for concession under the law of May 30th, 1893, to erect a factory for the production of smoke less powder and of the explosive known as fulminite.
 The department of communica- tlons has granted to Edward Woolf Abrams, representing the Mexican Financial Syndicate of London, a con- cession for the establishing within two months from June 26th, 1897, of steamship service between Acapulco and Salina Cruz and intermediate ports.
 A recent press telegram from the City of Mexico says: Efforts on the mart of the physicians in charge of the insane hospital for women to dis cover some safe narcotic which should nroduce sleep have resulted in bringing into daily use in that insti- tuition simple remedy, prepared from the seed of the white zapote. It produces tranquil sleep, and where it has bee used no deaths from cere- bral congestion have been known at the institution.
 A movement is on foot among the Frenchmen in Mexico to raise a large fund by contribution for the erection oft monument to mark the place where Emperor Maximilian was shot. The execution took place on a small hill overlooking QueretarO and the spot is at present marked by a rude pile of stones. The Mexican govern ment will be asked permission for the erection of a monument. The coffin in which Maximilian was placed after death and before his body was mysteriously spirited away is now in aroom in the state house at Quere- taro.
 The department Of encouragement has granted to Luis s. Aguayo, or the company to be organized by him, a concession for the extraction, by pumping or otherwise, from the Bra vo del Norte river at the point known as Los Balcones, of two cubic meters of water per second for the irrigation of land belonging to him on the right bank of said river. It is provided, however, that, in spite of the conces- sion, MT. Aguayo shall abide strictly by the result of the negotiations pending with the United States as to the utilization of the waters from the Bravo river and it's tributaries, as well as by all the decisions of the in- ternational boundary commission created by convention of March 1st, 1889.

ENGLISH COTTON TRADE.
A British Journal Declares the In
dustry Is Imperiled.

The Textile Mercury" the official
organ Of the cotton employers, in an
article dealing with The Wages Ques-
ton IN the Cotton Industry" calls at
tention to the grave possibilities of the
trade and the responsibilities which
now rest on the operatives to consider
the situation carefully and fully, and
to resolve wisely upon what is the best
course TO pursue in their own interests.
1t urges the operatives to dismiss from
their minds the erroneous impression
that their employers are either greedy
or grasping tyrants always anxious to
reduce wages or to inflict some wrong
on the workers. What the article asks
the operatives to consider are facts like
these:
While the cotton industry through
out the world is extending rapidly, the
British section of it has commenced to
decline, although the population de-
pendent upon it is increasing. In sup
port of the first part we give the value
of the exports of machinery for the first
nine months of each of the following
years, January to September: 1890,
f4, 1876, ,432; 1896, f4,956, $40; 1897, f4,-
COG, 10C. This year the exports have
fallen off somewhat owing to the dis
pute in the engineering trades. In
round numbers, we may say, it means
that our exports of textile machinery
chiefly cotton, amount to t6, 800, 900 per
annum. This sum represents the equip
ment of 65 mills, each of 10000 spind-
les anu preparation machinery. These
exports have been steadily increasing
for Years, and IHuch more rapidly OF
late years than before. And they are
likely TO increase still more rapidly

they are doing nearly as much work
as either minders or weavers in this
country in the same time. They car
also work much longer hours, and in
many cases the mills are working night

against Lancashire yarns and cloths!
What will become of the profit just
named? 1t will be reinvested in build
ing more mills
1t is also shown that the fact that
the English cotton trade has begun to
decline cannot be disputed. 1T would
be almost safe to say that all the mills
in Oldham during the past twelve
months have not earned a net profit
large enough to build and equip one
first class mill" Statistics are quoted
to show that. as compared with twenty
yeas ago, there has been reduction
of fully 5000, ,000, ,spindles employed. in
volving the throwing out of employ
ment of 14,000 to $4,000 operatives.
Submission to a judicious and timely
reduction of wages in the past would
probably have enabled the English
trade to have prevented or defeated
competition to such an extent as to
have absorbed this ever increasing
mass of unemployed. The loss of
money also is very serious, for Mr..
Mavdsley, whose testimony is quoted.

capital invested in the cotton trade

tives are now going out TO Eastern

with these facts before them, are asked
TO look present facts in the face,
bravely encounter them, cease to ha-
rass the trade by absurd regulations
and lmpositions, accept the reductions
of wages which the circumstances de-
mand, and thus retard the inevitable
surrender Of the industry to foreign
competition sufficiently long to give the
capitalist time to work out his invest

IRVING AND BOOTH.
The English Actors Generous
Treatment of the American.

| In the December Century there is
an article on Edwin Booth in London, -
| by E. H. House. In speaking of Mr.
Irving's action in appearing with Booth
i at the Lyceum. Mr.. House says:
| Looking at all the possibilities of the
case, l hold to the opinion now, as
did then that Irving risked more than
| people supposed-more, it may be, than
| he himself took into full reckoning
| will not further enlarge upon what
might have happened TO his disadvan-
tage. AS to his hope of gain, what was
| it? He could win approval for extend
| ing a consoling hand to a distinguished
brother actor, and helping him to re-
| cover some of the equanmity he had
| lost through untoward circumstances
| he could commend himself to the good
will Of the American public. and set up
| particular claim to its cordiality. in
| case he should visit the United States
and he could identify himself and his
| eSta blishment with a Shakespearean
representation of uncommon nearness
toperfection. do not see that there was
anything else to hide his side OF the ac-
count. He certainly was not so weak
as to imagine he would outshine Booth,
and add to his own reputation at the
owners expense. Pecuniary benefit
was out of the question. The profits
| Of the combination could not be larger
| than those of the regular Lyceum per-
| formances at ordinary prices.
! There might be a certain pleasure in
| taking the chances" of so novel an
enterprise: but Irving was not the sort
| of man to whom the excitement Of a
| gambling operation would be especially
allurng. There is no evidence that he
was moved by single unworthy i'm
pulse Though the trip to America may
| have been in his mind, it does not fol-
| low that he was sordidly influenced by
expectations of a material .recompense
fer his hospitality. 1 doubt. indeed. if
| he could have formed any conception
in advance of the acknowledgment in
store for him. Few Englishmen can
| understand, without convincing testi-
mony, how intensely responsive to gen.
erosity the American people are.
| Charles Reade knew it by intuition. as
he seemed to know many other things
which he had never learned by expe-
rince Irving's knowledge came later.
/ If he was actuated by selfishness of
any kind it was on behalf of his the
ater, to maintain the supremacy of
which was always one of his dearest
objects An actor who is also a man
ager may care as much for the char
acter of the productions at his house
as for his personal elevation. Booth
had once been thus inspired, and had
/ lost a fortune because he was more
ambitious for the beautiful edifice he
had created than for himself. To have
i rapOrdhd that the most brilliant
Shakespearean illustration of the day
had been given under his auspices. and
within his own walls. was doubtless
worth more to Irving than any calcula-
ton Of present or future remuneration
more, probably, than any renown he
could hope to win by the impersonation
of Iago, which he was preparing with
! diligent study.

Count recognized his son, but did not
