view, is very trivial, while another man
has, comparatively speaking, a farcical
sentence although he has intelligently and
deliberately proven false to great business
trusts upon which the welfare of hundreds
of families, of widows, of orphans of in
stitutions of learning and beneflcence de-
pended; or he has even shed his brothers
blood. We do not say these things to pro-
mote discomfort. All human administra-
ton Of law is imperfect, and always Will
be- But it is fair that the inequalities and
injustice in all these things should promote
our charity. Startling facts touching these
matters are so frequently told as to be-
come stale. Everybody that knows much
about such things knows something OF
what money and influence will accomplish
for a wrong-doer, if only there is enough
of it to reach up into municipal govern
ment into legislatures and into congresses.

Fifth, our prisoners are telling witnesses
that nothing less than the gospel is equal
to our social needs. 1t teaches, as moth
ing else ever has taught us, the unity, the
oneness, Of society. 1t is Bible religion
that best guards the gates of life. Even
the Old Testament took pains to make the
home a place where it was possible for 4
clean and healthy child to be born. And
Christ taught, as no one else ever taught,
that any man who does not subordinate
the animal nature within him to love and
light and purity sins against his kind.
The law is not enough; the law is not
equal to the task. We may have the best
of laws, but what shall create a. demand
for their enforcement? We may know per-
fectly we'll what ought to be done-instruc-
ton, education, science, may make all that
plain-but there needs to come to us a
power as well as knowledge. There needs
to come to us inspiration; there needs to
come to US a great impulse. But nothing
has ever furnished this as has Bible re-
ligion.
If men would visit" the prison they
would see many things that now they do
not see; but who taught men, as nobody
else ever did, to do this visiting?
The whole problem of crime is awfully
big and dark, but little problems belong
to little lives" This problem was incom-
parably darker when Christ and His apos-
ties faced it with light and truth SO long
ago. We cannot believe at this late day
that there is no salvation adequate to the
condition of fallen men. I'VE know" If
only that old-time message be given free
course that the worst of men can become
citizens of the kingdom Of heaven God
speed the day

The Cat in Literature.
New York commercial Advertiger

Whatever place the cat may have in lit
erature, she owes, doubtless, to her saucy
and secure place in life, from which none
of us would have 1t in our hearts to dis
lodge her. She has been the companion Of
the great and famous from time immemo-
rial. Petrarch's favorite cat he embalmed
while Andrea Doria, one of the rulers Of
Venice, not content with having the por-
trait painted of his dead cat, preserved her
skeleton as the souvenir of a happy in
timacy. Cardinal Wosey used to entertain
his cat by his side on his seat of state
when he gave audience or received his
princely company. Rousseau's attachment
TO cats is we'll known. We know also how
fond Sir Isaac Newton was of them, for
did he not make holes in his barn door for
their accommodations large hole for the
old cat and a small one for the kitten?
The unfeline DIR. Johnson loved cats in
spite of himself, and his particular pet bore
the name of Hodge. The doctor used
himself to go out and buy oysters, on
which Hodge dotted. lest the servants, from
having to wait on the animal should ac-
quire a dislike to him. Richelieu was de-
voted to cats, and Muthammad of blessed

HOT WATER FOR MILLIONS.
LOndOn's Plan to Use the Waste Heat
OF Gas Lamps.
Pail Mall Gazette

Among the conveniences that have &C
crued to civilized man since the penny-in-
the-slot order was instituted the latest
claimant is the Pluto waste heat economic
slot-it is only a half-penny, thus showing
how far such benefits can be refined down
to almost the vanishing point of monetary
outlay. The heating power that is rescued
from waste is to be found in the ordinary
street lamp, and when you put in your half
penny you get in exchange gallon of boil
ing water. A select crowd of people went
to the Crystal Palace to see the new inven-
ton in use, and to hear an explanation of
it while it was working. In principle the
Crystal Palace model is all right. There is
a tall street lamp, painted green and picked
out with gold a bright gas light burning
within the glass panes above the huted
metal column, and a spout projecting from
one of the panels of the square pedestal.
The half-penny investor in the steaming
liquid supports his vessel on metal basin
below drops his little coin into the slot,
pulls lever and gets what he wants.
The principle of the thing works out in
this way: Gas is largely used as an illum-
inant and when it is solely so used its heat
is lost. Why not utilize the lost heat? This
the inventor does by placing above the
name of the lamp spiral coil fed with
water from the main. BY the heat of the
steam, which, expelled by it's own expan-
sive force through an ordinary lightweight
safety valve down pipe to the base of the
lamp post, there heats the water by means
of an iron coil. OF course. for the supply
of hot water to be continued the light
above must be constantly ahame, and 1t is
therefore, the intention to keep the lamp
fitted with the "Economizer" burning day
and night. Having got thus far in theory.
the imagination of the syndicate runs in
every direction as regards its application in
practice The syndicate argues in this way:
THAT there is public demand for such hot
water is evidenced by the growing number
of shops in the East End for the supply of
this indispensable commodity Considering
hot water is primary necessity of life,
constituting nearly half of the domestic
water consumption, and that it costs a
working man nearly three farthings to light
a fire especially to boil a gallon of water,
il is obvious that such an invention, II
successful would be a vast boon of the
widest public Importance, as it is Intended
to keep these lamps burning day and night"

Serene she sits, upon her spires
The CLINT of dawn's empurpled fires.

The Tilt of lyric waterfalls

At evening wind the orchard wains:
She greets the seasons one by one,
She plumes her splendors in the sun;
Through leafy vistas of her squares
The painted host of Autumn fares,
Or winds her gardens, where to muse
In dew-bejeweled avenues
The inland city, all the day
The swallows round her steeples play;
In deepest calm she croons and waits
On future cons, meditates;
The eyes of others range the past.
On far tomorrow hers are cast
She heeds nor SIRENS song nor scorn,
She mounts triumphant toward the mornl
The inland city, 10, she dreams
Mid sylvan solitudes and streams,
She smiles, and sings her serenades,
She trusts her ancient palisades;
Her hearth is great and wide and warm,
She shields her children from the storm =
