Largest Man rs u German,

dupois, the place Of honor must be ac-
corded Morice Cannon, native of the
small frontier town of Stein, in the
State Of Constance. Germany. This
Teuton is said to turn the scale" at
fifty stone, and may claim to be the
heaviest man on earth. He measures
over 100 inches round the waist, and
GA inches round the thigh; his enor-
nous weight does not apparently in
convenience him, for he is active and
in robust health. He is described as a
well-to-do, middle-aged, good-looking
farmer, who is also keen sportsman,
being an excellent all-round shot with
the rifle. Naturally his gigantic pro-
portions have made him an object of
curiosity in his part of Germany.

From the Philadelphia Record,
Onc-half of the power and potency Of
Quayism in Pennsylvania is newspaper
made. The astute senator does not deny
the almightiness imputed to him by
friends and foes, and as a result profits
to some extent on supposed omnipotence
and trades on the usufruct. As an eX
ample some designing newspapers have
affected to believe that through Mr..
Quay's managing hand the Democratic
state convention was so manipulated as
to procure the nomination of candidates
Of his choice. Some stupid newspapers
that cannot be accused of willful dishon-
eSty have accepted without question this
witlcss fabrication, and rcitorate it from
day to day matter of accepted truth.
There is not u scintilla of evidence on
which to base such Il charge There is
not word of truth in it. But nothing
could better suit the purpose of Mr.
Quay than to have his enemies load upon
the Democratic nominees the suspicion
that they were his catspaws and con-
federates.
Now the fact is that the Democratic
nominee for governor is man of the
greatest purity Of character, incapable
of low political intrigue. IfSonator Quay
aud his candidate for governor were
rolled into one so that no whit of the
intellectual capacity of either should be
lost in the combination, the composite
man in every desirable function going to-
ward the making Of such an executive
as the state of Pennsylvania needs would
not bear a moments comparison with
George A. jerks. A filter man was
never named for the duties of the COVER
norShip.
The only objection to the candidacy of
Mr.. jerks that has any validity is that
he is unsound on the question of the
currency. There are great many peo-
pie in the United Statcs-nearly half
who share Mr.. jerks financial opinions.
The Record does not: but it is not blind
to the needs OF the people Of this state,
nor deaf to the call for better government,
nor so wrapped up in self-sufiiciency
that il cannot tolerate honest differences
Of opinion. 1t knows that what Mr..
Jonks may think of the Chicago plat
form has nothing to do with the wise
administration of state affairs AS gov
ernor, he would not be called upon to
coin money.
The loud denunciatOrs of QuayiSm who
oppose jerks under the pretense Of
opposing Quay If they be not imbeciles
are hypocrtes. They assist in continu-
ing the iniquites they denounce.

attent? The moro one knows Of many

edge was Of little value to him, but the

us and develops our powers The world

becomes music. The melody is in us.

TIE COLON'S HEAVY GUNS.
Story Purporting to Explain Why They
Were Not on Board When She Sank.

"a prominent Genoese merchant
= gorches for the statement that when
lIt.i sold the cruiser Cristobal Colon,
'Jhss the Garibaldi, to Spain, her big
guns arrived too late to be tested before
bei,S mounted on board. They were
accordingly put ON board without being
'tesitd, but the Armstrong;, by whom
che FnDs were made, insisted upon their
beirg tested nevertheless.
The Spanish commander of the ship
protested, declaring that there was no
time for full test and besides such
test of the guns OH board would shatter
the furDiture/ mirrors etc., in the cab
ins. The Armstrong; were still insistent,
and finally a compromise was made
whereby the guns were put ashore and
tested at Spezia. The test was in every
way satisfactory, but the Spanish COM
mander sailed away without again ship
ping the guns This accounts for the
S1aot that when the Cristobal Colon was
run ashore and sunk by the American
tdeet on the Cuban coast IL was found
that she was without heavy armament.

Lesson For the Week Beginning July "a.
Comment by Rev. w. j. Yates. A ~.
Topic. The Temple OF the Body.

scnrpruRr READING. II Cor. iii i6-23
sKnow ye not that your body Is temple OF
the Holy Spirit which Is In you. which ye have
from Godf
No land and no tribe Of men is with
out worship of some God. Sanctuaries
ara of many kinds, and ceremonies OF
worship of greatest variety. All agree
in ascribing power to the deity worship
ed and in exacting reverence and obedi-
ence from the worshiper. Places, things
and times are called holy if set apart
for the service of worship Such places.
times and things must not be desecrated
or made less sacred by common use.
These sentiments are as universal as
mankind. There is less agreement as to
what things and places and times shall
be called consecrated or to what deity
they shall be consecrated
The highest and truest attainment
yet reached in this search for and wor-
ship of God is found in the New Tesla
ment conception of Spirit of infinite
and eternal holiness, justice and love.
This One has made all worlds and gov
ems ALL His highest revelation is made
In and through and to mankind. He
has united human nature to his own ma.
ture in Jesus Christ. The body of man
is an instrument in which the spirit of
man dwells and by the use of which the
man may come into companionship and
likeness to God. The value Of the bodi-
ly powers lies in just this use Of them
for the spirits growth and advance
ment Impairment Of their efficiency
subtracts from the chances Of the spirit
for its highest attainment. Body and
spirit act and react ON each other.
Drunkenness and gluttony not only
waste the time and power that should
be devoted to the good of the spirit, but
they debase the spirit itself until it pre-
fers the vicious and sensual to the pure
and heavenly.
Indulgence Of passion harms the bod
lily functions and all defilement Of spirit
defiles and tends to destroy the body.
Permanent pleasure is inseparably
linked to purity of soul and body. Ev-
cry vice is inevitably connected with
disease and death.
Filthiness of spirit leads to disease Of
body and vicious indulgence of the
senses makes the spiritual powers pol
luted.
The end of all is the ban of God on
both body and spirit
Here is the clew to all self denial and
all self culture-whatever tends to
make one less sensitive to the true, the
pure, the beautiful and good should be
avoided; whatever assists in elevating,
refining and enrolling should be Guilt
waited.
Our eyes are to see, our ears to hear
and all senses to aid in finding the spirit
Of God and enshrining Him in the body
as in a holy temple.
