Prosperity has struck the town
Tta oloxx liohts nm the sky

Prosperity has struck the town
Its glow lights up the sky,
And everything is lovely
And the goose hangs high.
All kinds of greenbacks grow on trees,
And none of them grow small;
You only have to hold your hat
To catch them as they fall.
And no one soils his hands with toll,
All ride in hanson cabs;
And pie and cake are passed about
In wedges and in slabs.
And hens and turkeys swimming go,
And cows fly through the sky,
For everything is lovely
And the goose hangs high.

Of dogma. is highly necessary, but the
preaching of Christ crucified is much
more important. Intellectual assent is
necessary for an intelligent Christian,
but the assent Of the heart to what God
teaches is beyond all comparison the
great thing needful. It is with the
heart that belief is had unto salvation.
It is the man who believes and does
whose life is in accord with profession

theoretical or dogmatic man who gives
the assent of his understanding to
dogmatics. Many a man will fight for

The French Actor Antoine

Antoine had no special gift for the
studied delivery Of effective phrases,
after the fashion Of the Samsons and
Regniers, but he set to work to dis
cover the dominant characteristic
which constituted the essential unity Of
any human being; some one Of the
deadly sins, perhaps, at least one which
lends itself to dramatic purposes, such
as %avarice. pride, luxury, egotism and
above all. the low of life and the fear
of death. When he had once grasped
this leading feature, every word,
every movement, every glance, was
made to translate it into a form that
could be felt. A method so sustained
n intense created an impression
strong enough to supply the place of
all the manifold explanations in Du-
mas and Anglers plays.
Seeing is sometimes more than I'M
Outstanding. and those who saw An
tome as More in Leon HenniQue's "Es-
ther can never recall it with
out a shudder. From the very first
scene we knew that the man could not
live, that his malady was a sort of
petrificatiOn of the heart, and that the
final termination, which was inevitable,
might be brought on prematurely by
n violent emotion. 1t was impossi-
BILE, looking at Antoine, to forget for a
SAoN AOoil W
stone, or to escape from the agonizing
fear lest the deadly emotion, which
was constantly threatened, should
descend like the blade of the guillo-
tine. One saw the doomed man strug-
Cling against physical pain, or yielding
to it in pure abjectness, alternating be-
tween confidence and bitterness, pas
sion n l~amentation, weak tenderness
and fierce egotism. One felt his DELHI
crate efforts at calmness, his false res
iSnation, his sincere illusions, the way
in which his whole moral nature
had shrunk n been warped and de-
formed, by the fear of oncoming death.
1t was at the close of an evening like
this that NJ. Emile Faguet, at that time
dramatic critic of The SOleil, discovered
in M. Antoine some of the elements
i Of a great actor" Round him gathered
a troop Of mere school boys and school,
girls, made living by his strong per-
Sonality. The feeling of having a cause
to advance, and a dramatic campaign
to carry on-as series of battles, that is to
say, to be fought on the ground chosen
beforehand, and under the Eyes of a Sc
lect audience-gave their acting, as the
same critic assures us, a certain fire
| and concentration" that would never

One Failure to Put IN Prices

The effort that has been made Of
late to boom cotton prices seems to
lave come far short of it's r and
the enormous displayed advertisement
which appeared in newspapers all over
the country advising people "to buy
cotton and hold it; it is the only cheap
thing left"-was evidently not taken
very much to heart by the spectators
in his or other markets.. Least of all
was it taken seriously by the consumers
of the staple and no rush for front seats
has been reported of late at the cotton
exchanges.
The folly of this attempt to push up
prices was seen on August 80, when, by
a purely artificial movement, quotations
were put at New York to 81 cents.
resulting in the sale of twenty bales.
The day following the prices declined n
cent, thirty seven-bales were sold, and
since then prices have steadily declined
to 65s cents, the quoted price today.
That the attempt noted should prove
futile is not to be wondered at, as it is
extremely doubtful that the figure Of
August 80, is reached again for this sea
son. The crop IS known to be a large
one and, while last years stock was
pretty We'll worked up DcIOTc the new
crop had matured, still it is generally
understood that there is enough of the
staple to go around; and, while fair
prices will be obtained for it, there is
little prospect that they will be excess
sive.
Manufacturers, as a rule, are buying
sparingly Of the staple, n will con-
tinue to do so until they are convinced
that the bottom had been reached or
nearly so. Some spinncrs are, however.
purchasing more freely, feeling that
there are still some n Of an adj
vance by eason of early frost or other
untoward conditions. But they are dis
posed to pay IN advance over current
rates. At these prices there is a fair
profit in cotton manufacture lille
there is more money IN growing the
staple under existing conditions than
there has been in past years under
cruder methods and with less intensive
cultivation. Consequently, the presen:
crop will prove advantageous all around
and promises to do its part toward the
realization of general prosperity Iy
making the production of cheap goods
possible and by furnishing the grower
with a large mou Of ready cash for
his support and the fuller development
of his interests. Boston Transcript.

valuable, but it IS greatly exaggerated
in importance IL it Is made a substitute
for heart religion, for sincere exercises
Of the soul, for r III belief In the
atoning work OF the Saviour. Good
works are good things to do surely. but
are a poor substitute for godly piety
that shows forth a holy everyday Iiv-
ing, brings the conscious soul in close
communion with God, and lifts the be-
lever to sublime heights in which there
are rest and victory. It is a mistake
to make emotion a test Of Christian
perfection and godly living. 1t Is a
mistake on the other hand, to make
soul regeneration and the evidence Of
adoption. A a may have a vicious
life and yet possess a sound, wise IN
viction as to revealed truth and histo-
ric theology. Good works will follow
deep piety. The soul afire with love to
Christ will feel deeply and will have
genuine emotions n affections. A man
may be deeply emotional. shed tears
easily and copiously and be quite de-
mponstrative without genuine piety.
without ever being born again. Ethical
Christianity falls hor lei the el-
pressions Of the inward life are be-
lieved to be seen in the outward con-
duct alone. A man may give his mil
lions to charity and yet be an uncon-
verted and unsaved sinner. Giving is
not the final test or the sure evidence
of holiness within. The outward act
may be benevolent, kind, sympathetic,
and yet the soul be dead as to the
great fundamental truths of Christian
ity. The first thing is to find God.
Once found you will desire
to leave him. seek the things of the
Kingdom Of Heaven first, and then the
| good deeds, the acts Of benevolence and
sympathy, the loving to give and to do
; will all come and it will be true that

HOW MONEY GROWS,

Some time ago couple of lines In
published report on stocks conveyed
the information that Standard OIL
stock had been sold at $500 share, the
highest price hitherto obtained. A
contemporary commenting upon thi,
item calls attention to the fact that this
means that Mr.. j. ID. Rockefeller's
fortune had been Increased to the
tune OF s55, 900, 600 In nine months,
and that he now is worth In the neigh.
borbood Of s24i. 100000.

come of Sl,5O0,0O0 every month, or
$4,000 q dag, or s2,0ss an hour, day
and night, workday and holiday. Mr.
Rockefeller generally sleeps eight and
half hours every night, but every
morning when he awakes he finds
himself ST., 705 weallhier than when
he went to bed. He takes his break
fast at O'Clock, and halt an hour
later, when he has finished, he has
earned Sl,O4l.50. He goes to church
on Sunday, and after the two hours'
services he has S4,166 added to his
wealth. And this gentleman was 35
years ago not worth 81 200, 1t is said.
Rockefeller Is now thought to be
the wealthiest man in the world.
His accumulation of money Ia prob
ably without parallel, at least 80 far as
history goes. None OF the reigning
monarehs are as well paid as he.
Queen Victoria's income lie estimated
at 100000 a year, OF which she
spends 81 700, 900. The Russian car
has perhaps little more to spend than
the queen, but all the other monatchs
are veritable financial pygmles COM
pared to Rockefeller. What an oppor.
