Humanitarian Theology.

DR.. Watson Clan Maclaren). in re-
cent speech before the meeting of the
synod Of the English Presbyterian
church, spoke as follows;
There are a great many things that
will have to be settled in theology.
Thinking men of to-day demand that
the relation Of theology to the great
principles Of evolution should be dis
tinctly stated. The deity OF our Lord
was settled in theology long ago, and
never again, / believe, will 1t be
touched but the humanity of our Lord
is the great field in which believing and
thoughtful men are now exploring. Be-
sides this not few earnestly desire to
see scholarly men Immediately under
take the doctrine of the person and
work Of the Holy Ghost. The most en-
couragIng thing about theology to-day
Is that whatever problems are before
them there is on every hand an earnest
desire to understand the person and
work Of our Lord"

Japanese Girls.

Miss Ida Tignor Hodnett writes Of
"The Little Japanese at Home" in the
st. Nicholas. Miss Hodnett says:
There is no special head covering in
the native costume for girls. Indeed,
the mode of dressing the hair would not
admit of hats and bonnets such as ours.
There is rivalry among Japanese girls as
to whose hair shall be most becomingly
and artistically arranged, whose glrdle
be most gracefully tied and whose robe
show the most harmonious effects, and
they are quite equal to their western
sisters in the taste for personal adorn-
ment. The Japanese parasol Is used as
a shelter from the sun and the European
umbrella is gaining favor. For going
out in the rain there are raincoats and
rainhats made of oiled paper"

B FOR HOWE READING


employ many men; women are cheaper.
They pay them $1.65 per week for seven
days work. And then they fine them
for tardiness, imperfection and all sorts
of things. One girl, so my informant
said, received 65 cents for seven days
work. AS a result, the employees are
constantly changing. was told they
made almost complete change every
three weeks. And, the sad part Of 1t is,
they can always get new hands at those
rates. The dawn of prosperity has pro-
duced so many unemployed that such
an employer can draw on the great res
ervOir of the unemployed almost indef-
nltely. Alas!

Volunteers ON Historic Camping
Ground.


It Is picturesque and historic ground
upon which the volunteers at Camp
Alger are now encamped, and location
whose environment is likely to arouse
all sorts OF warlike feelings in the
hearts Of the young soldiers. Eight
miles away, across the blue Potomac
that rolls at their feet, lies the nations
capital, beautiful Washington, while be-
yond to the west and north, Maryland,
My Maryland" stretches in undulating
lines of great scenic beauty.
To the east, and far in the distance,
can be seen the spires and domes Of
Alexandra, where Colonel Ellsworth met
his death, the first man killed in the late
war. And a few miles farther down the
river, which broadens into lake-like d.
mensions, is Mount Vernon, the home Of
the immortal Washington. Within a
few miles of the camp is Fort Myer,
around which many important events
happened a sesqui-century ago, and
which was the base of the capitals de-
fenses when Confederate General Early
made his memorable advance in '63. To
the south lie the battlefelds Of Bull Run
and Manassas, the first great contests
of the civil war, and within days ride
Is Charlottesville, where the invincible
StoneWall Jackson was killed by his
own men. To the west, up along the
Potomac, is Leesburg and Harper's
Ferry Of John Brown fame, and midway
between is Edwards Ferry, the scene Of
,,ooro hord AOh4S tho, ouxy ottor oun ha
tle1eld Of the late war.
The entire surrounding country Is
teeming with historical associations.
Just above Washington, on the Virginia
side of the Potomac, and within few
miles of the camp, Is small bloCkhouse
that Captain John Smith, of Pocahontas
fame, erected as a defense against the
Indians when he first explored the river
and furnished a remarkably accurate
map to the settlers.
On the very spot upon which the Mis-
souri, boys are encamped George w ash
lngton first gained fame as a civil en-
gineer, for this territory was all in
Cluded In the Lord Fairfax estate. And
1t was near Fort Myer that General
Braddock quarteTed his troops before
the start OF that disastrous expedition
against Fort Duquesne, where the Brit
ish commander lost his life, and Wash
ington obtained his first military ex-
perience. Over the very ground upon
which Camp Alger now stands, John
! Wilkes Booth made his desperate jour
ney toward safety after having assas-
sinated President Lincoln, and fifteen
miles to the southeast still stands the
barn in which the murderer was sur
rounded and shot to death ON his refusal
to surrender.

An English View of Sunday News
papers.

It is rumored that the publishers Of
certain English papers are planning to
give the English public Sunday news
papers Of the kind so widely circulated
In this country. On this subject Or.
w. Robertson Nlcoll, editor Of the Brit
ish Weekly, says:
II have yet to meet an intelligent
American who has not spoken with dis
gust Of the influence of the Sunday
newspapers upon American manners
and morals. However we'll the projec-
tors may mean, and however deCently
they may begin, the paper will become
inevitably more and more yellow, more
and more sensational, more and more
demorallzing."

The sausage,s Anniversary.

Germany has just celebrated the thou
sandth anniversary Of the sausage,
which dates back to S97 A. D. Very diff
ferent, however, was the ancient saus-
age from the one we now know. The
former was simply made of goats
stomach, stuffed with fat and blood. 1t
was not till the tenth century that
chopped pork was used, and the saus-
ages Of Frankfort and Strasburg began
to be famous in 1900, thanks to the in

The Rain

Jupiter Plugious has the thanks of
the lower Rio Grande for one Of the
finest rains this year. Ii began
about five a. m., pouring in torrents
for half an hour or more, aid then
continuing in a gentle but steady
downpour for an hour and a half
longer. Indications are that the
rain was general all over this. sec
tion, on both sides of the river. In
Brownsville, the rainfall amounted
to ! 80 inches.
Reports from up-river points show
that heavy rain all along the river
as for up as Rio Grande, and indica
tions are that ii extended to tho back
country. a good rain also fell along
the Alice road six miles out, and
from those coming in from that d.
rection they think the rain extended
far beyond that point.
At Point Isabel heavy downpour
fell this morning, lasting three hours.
There is no doubt but that this

over this section.
