Life i'm Java.

Native life swarms in this land of the
betel and the banana, where there seems
to be more of the inherent dream and
calm than in other lands of the lotus.
The Javanese are the finest flowers of the
Malay race a people possessed of
civilization, arts and literature in that
golden period before the Mohammedan
and the European conquests. They have
gentle voices, gentle manners, fine and
expressive features, and are the one peo-
pie of Asia, besides the Japanese, who
have real charm and attraction for the
alien. They are more winning, too, by
contrast, after one has met the harsh,
unlovely and unwashed people of China,
or the equally unwashed, bringing Hindu.
They are little people, and one feels the
same indulgent, protective sense as
toward the Japanese. Their language is
soft and musical "the Italian of the
tropics" their ideas are poetic, and their
love of flowers and perfumes, OF music
and the dance, of heroic plays and every
emotional form of art, proves them as
innately esthetic as their distant cousins,
the Japanese, in whom there is so large
an admixture of Malay stock. Their
reverence for rank and age, and their
elaborate etiquette and punctillious
courtesy to one another, are as marked
in the common people as among the
Japanese; but their abject crouching hu.
mility before their Dutch employers, and
the brutality of the latter to them, are
subjects for sadder thinking, and some.

New PoIychrome Bible.

DR.. Paul Haupt, professor of Semitic
languages in the Johns Hopkins univer-
sity, has arrived in Baltimore The thing
which DR.. Haupt is most interested about
just now is the new "polychrome" trans.
leading spirit and the editor. This work,
in addition to being scholarly transla-
ton from the best sources available, will
be printed in colors in order to give the
reader, in visible form, the results of
modern criticism as to the different
sources from which the Old Testament
Books, and especially the Pentateuch,
have been made up. The different colors
represent the original documents from
which the narrative is derived. Genesis,
for instance, has alone seven of these
composite elements, and is, accordingly
given in seven different colors.
The projectors of the enterprise believe
that the revised version of the Bible was
an unsatisfactory compromise, which
spoiled the beauty of the older transla-
ton while failing to give the reader
the benefits of modern research.
The translation is based upon a
thoroughly revised Hebrew text, rendered
into the best modern English. The work
will be fully illustrated, the picture being
historically correct and many of them
being based upon Assyrian and Egyptian
monuments.
This month the three first parts of the
translation will be published, being the
books of Isaiah, Judges and the Psalms,
which have been prepared, respectively
by Professor T. K. Cheyne. Professor G.
F. Moore and Professor Wellhausen and
DR.. Horace Howard Furness. 1t has
taken seven years of hard work to pro.
duce these first three parts of the work
but others will follow more rapidly. II
is expected that three more will be giver
to the public before the end of another
year.
1t is expected that certain chapters o
Daniel and Ezra will be translated by
Ian Maclaren, the Scotch author, it being
said that these portions of Daniel anc
Ezra in the original are written in ar
Aramaic dialect that bears practically
the same relation to Hebrew that tn;
Scotch dialect bears to modern English
The illustrations will form remarkable
feature of the work, it being planned
among other things to give pretoria
representation of all the musical instru
ments mentioned in the Bible. By means
of these pictures severalinteresting points
will be proved, as, for instance, the origin
of the belief in the existence Of a unicorn

The Genuine rIan.

No man is genuine, says Woodrow Will
son in the Atlantic, who is forever trying
to pattern his life after the lives of other
people, unless, indeed, he be genuine
dolt. But individuality is by no means
the same as genuineness; for individual
ity may be associated with the most ex-
IRENE and even ridiculous eccentricity,
while genuineness we conceive to be al
ways wholesome, balanced, and touched
with dignity. 1t is quality that goes
with good sense and selfrespect. 1t is a
sort of robust moral sanity, mixed of
elements both moral and intellectual 1t
is found in natures too strong to be mere
trimmers and contormers, too well poised
and thoughtful to fling off into intemper-
ate protest and revolt. Laughter is gen.
une which has in it neither the shrill,
hysterica note of mere excitement nor
the hard metallic twang OF the cynic's
sneer.-which rings in the honest voice
Of gracious good-humor, which is inno-
cent and unsatircal. Speech is genuine
which is without Stiffness, affectation, or
pretense. That character is genuine
which seems built by nature rather than
by convention. which is stuffol independ-
ence and of good courage. Nothing spu-
rious. bastard, begotten out OF true we'd
lock of the mind; nothing aduterated
and seeming to be what it is not; moth
ing unreal can ever get place among the
nobility of things genuine, natural, of
pure stock and unmstakable lineage. 1t
is perogative of every truly human
being to come out from the low estate of
those who are merely gregarous and OF
the herd, and show his innate powers
cultivated and yet unspoiled sound,
unmixed, free from imitation; showing
that NATURALIZATION without extrava-
gance, which is genuineness.

The difference between an honorable,
courageous general and a blood-thirsty
bandit chief, is the difference between a
trusted leader and self-seeking boss.

the horror OF the burden which was upon
him, which marred his face with seams,
which bowed his herculean frame COM
pare that with the flippant misuse OF
money, Of steam, of electricity, of any or
every thing, by the modern boss not only

they who have degraded politics until to
go into the highways of public life tests
mans probity of character more than
to the full. These are they who have af-
trighted good men, and before whom
voters are dumb, like sheep before shear
ers. These are they who sell legislation
to highest bidders until all lawmaking is
coming under the ban of suspicion. These
are they in short who are more danger
GUS than nihilists; who are driving us
forward to a national outburst. "The
people" are slow to anger; but the day Of
reckoning with perverted justice, and
purloined privileges is bound to come
unless we right wrongs and that right
speedily.

To Cure Catarrh

Do not depend upon snuffs, inhalants or
other local applications. Catarrh is a
constitutional disease, and can be sue
cessfully treated only by means of a con-
stitutional remedy like Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, which thoroughly puri6es the blood
and removes the scrofulous taints
which cause catarrh. The great number
of testimonials from those who have
been cured of catarrh by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla prove the unequalled power Of this
medicine to conquer this disease. II
troubled with catarrh give Hoods Sar-
saparilla fair trial at once.

To VOTERS, III:-Firmly do we believe

are true with desire for national health
and greatness. Just as we have conf
dence in the depth and purity OF the
great ocean. though perhaps only
few muddy wavelets come near our feet
along the beach; so do we look in faith
down through the troubled surface of
political lite to the great body in whom
we trust. We must believe in ourselves,
in our possible glory, in our destiny as
republic, in the peaceful development Of
seltgovernment by sellgoverning hosts,
for can we not detect in our very geogra-
ply the tracings Of a mighty purpose
and in our history can we not hear the
actual football OF the Almighty? With
out faith in yourself you Individually will
become weakling and nonenity; with
out faith in our nation, weakening

But we are in profound danger. From
striving parties and conflicting ideas?
No, thousand times Parties are bal
ance wheels, and parties are safety valves.
Speaking broadly, the party with an
idea, when in is always conservative
because of the watchfulness Of the party
that is out. The party out is ever rest
less for change and urgent to make it;
though when power is placed in its hands
it Immediately develops carefulness be-
cause it is brought face to face with bur-
dens that are visible only from within.
Thus each party is really engaged in
paving the way for a later triumph Of
the other. This action and reaction in
national life, like activity and sleep in
the human body, make us steadily pro-
gressive. II no unnatural means are
used to suppress the expression OF the
peoples thought, this ebbing and flowing
of public opinion is as much to be ex-
pected as the tides of the sea. And in
the ebb and flow is health, for no party
ever can or ever will gather into its
ranks all the good and wise and upright.
In danger from leaders? No; leaders
are natural. Men gather more eagerly
around an idea with man back of it,
than they do around a mere thought
standing by ITSELF At heart we are all
hero-worshipers; we cling to those who
embody our thought. May the Weigher
of Nations raise up more standard bear
ers! We need not doubt He will, for
hitherto the seed-time and harvest Of
great hearts and great souls have not
failed us.
