FREIGHTs. The Freight Circular of Brown
& Co., New YORK, reports for the week end
ing July 2: Large tonnage for case oil to
China and Japan, and also for general cargo
to the Colonies, continues good demand. but
the offerings do not increase to any appreci-
able extent. Rates for the former appear to
be fairly well sustained, though in one
instance % cents was accepted to Hong
Kong, autumn loading To Sydney and Mel
bourne the basis for general cargo tonnage
is slightly easier, say II a 176 There an
pears less demand tor barrel petroleum
tonnage, but previous rates are sustained in
view of the scarity of suitable vessels
There continues a good inquiry for lumber
tonnage to the River Plate, with rates
quoted $11 So from the East and Provinces
to Buenos Ayres and Rosario, and S14 so
from the Gulf to Montevedo and Buenos
Ayres in one instance ST. was paid from
Bridgewater to Buenos Ayres. Several
fixtures are reported of general cargo and
case oil tonnage to Montevidedo and Buenos
Ayres. To Bahia Blanca S13 80 was paid
for white pine lumber. Other South Anne RI
can departments are quiet, and with tonnage
offered rather more freely rates have a
slightly easier tendency In the line of
West India reights there is very little doing,
this remark applying to both outward and
home voyage. American tonnage is now
more readily obtainable, though to this time
there has been no important break in current
rates. Coastwlse lumber rates are now
back to the basis preceding the declaration
of war, but the demand for tonnage nomen-
tarily is very light. Coal >freights to the
East are SLOW, but the market is steady
upon the basis OF recent quotations

even the stars OF the sky and twist
them like forget-me-nots in the
garland of Jesus. We must bring
everything to Him-the wealth of
language, the tenderness of sen
timeut, the delicacy of morning
dew, the saffron of floating cloud,
the tangled surf of the tossing sea, the
bursting thunder guns of the storms
bOmbardment. Yes, every star must
point down to Him, every heliotrope
must breath His praise, every drop in
the sumner shower must flash His
glory, all the tree branches of the
forest must thrum their music in the
grand march which shall celebrate Il
world redeemed. Now. all this being
so, what is the thing
for You and for me to do? What we
do L think will depend upon three
~facts-three great facts:
The first fact, hat sin has ruined us.
1t Inns blasted body, mind and soul.
We want no Bible to prove that we are
sinners Any-man who is. not willing
to acknowledge himself an imperfect
and sinful being is simply a fool, and
not to be argued with. We all feel
that sin has disorganized our entire.
nature. That is one fact. Another
fact is that Christ came to reconstruct,
to restore, to revise to correct, to re-
deem. That is a second fact. The
third fact is that the only time we are
sure Christ will pardon us. is the pres
cnt. Now, what is The
thing for us to do in view of these
three facts? You will all agree with
me to quit sin; take Christ, and take
Him now.
Suppose some business man in whose
skill you had perfect confidence should
tell you that tomorrow, Monday morn
ing, between IL and II o'clock, you
could by a certain financial transact
tion make So, 900, but that on Tuesday,
perhaps, you might make it, but
there would not be any positive
ness about it, and on Wednesday
there would not be so much,
and Thursday less, Friday less,
and so on less and less-when would
you attend to the matter? Why, your
common sense would dictates: ''Imme-
diately I will attend to hat matter,
between IL and IL o'clock tomorrow,
Monday morning, for then 1 can surely
accomplish it; but on Tuesday 1 may
not, and on Wednesday there is less
prospect, and less and less. / will at
tend to it tomorrow" Now, let us
bring our common-seuse in this
matter OF religion. Here are the
hopes of the gospel. We may get
them now. Tomorrow we may get
them, and we may lot Next day we
may and we may not. The prospect
less and less and less and less. The
only sure time now-now. 1 would not
talk to you in thi~ way if I did not
know that Christ was able to ave all
the people. l would not go into a hos
pital and tear off the. bandages from
the wounds if / had no balm to apply.
/ wonld not have the face to tell a man
he is u sinner unless 1 had at the same
time the authority for saying he may
be saved.

THE DEVIL" WAS THERE.
He appears in the Flesh and scares Wome

He Appears in the Flesh and Scares Women
and Children Our of Their Wits.
BOURBON, Ind, Ian. tS.-Rev. Mr..
Akin, pastor of the flock of Bethal
church, Sunday night took for his
theme, His Satanic Majesty" He is
an eloquent man, and he painted the
arch-fiend in vivid %colors. At the
climax of the description n being,
dressed to represent the devil, with
large head and switching tail, ambled
up the aisle, blowing smoke from its
nostrils and believing: Il am the
devil and 1 want all of you" The au-
dience became panic-stricken. Men.
women and children were hurled to
the floor and trampled in the mad
rush for the door. In the confusion
the stove was upset and the building
caught fire. Before the Mortified mem.
bers regained their senses the fire had
gained such Roadway hat all attempts
to save the church were in vain. Yes.
terday morning George Akin, son of
the pastor, confessed that he, with the
help of other boys, knowing the sub.
ject of his fathers sermon, rugged up a
devil suit, concealed himself behind a
chair and awaited the arrival of the
audience.

INDIAN ANrlPATHY TO FISH.
Why Some Tribes VIII Not Use Then
as Food.

why Some Tribes VIII Not Use Them
as Food.
At a recent meeting in Baltimore by
the American FOLKLORE society, DR..
Washington Matthews. of Washington,
D. c., read a paper on "Icthyophobia,"
which he described as an antipathy to
fish. This aversion is especially strong
in the Navajo, Apache and other Indian
tribes Of the far southwest. who will
not eat fish nor have anything to do
with articles made in the shape of fish.
This taboo" with the Navajos extends
to all things connected with water. A
probable reason why no more children
of these tribes are sent east to be edu-
Gated, DR.. Matthews thought, was a
fear that they might be required to
overcome this cherished taboo" super
s%tition, which is as firmly rooted as
any religion. says the Baltimore Sun.
A legend to account for this fish
"taboo' was given. There was a time
when food was scarce and the mountain
Indians had a big pow-wow with the
river Indians. The result was that the
river Indians agreed to kill no deer, but
live entirely on fish, and the mountain
Indians agreed to eat no fish, but live
entirely upon deer. This made food
plenty for both.
In the discussion of the paper it was
stated that the Zuna Indians will not
eat fish because savage tribes ir desert
lands regard water as sacred because
of its scarcity, and this reverence ex-
tends to animal life in water. Several
members thought. perhaps. this idea
conveyed the true reason for the fish
taboo"
