During all those years from child
hood to manhood, Gods pencil had
been writing the history Of soul.
The sin had completely blotted out
whatever Of beauty or purity there
was in the childish features What
an ocean lay between the child and
the man, Oh!if he could only b.
gin the voyage anew, would he not
make it very differently: But
there is no making such 3 voyage
twice. We make it only once, and
success or failure lasts As long as
eternity. Michael Angelo used to
say that ..Trifies make success, and
success Is no trifie."

ito highest point.
This il encouraging news, whether i,
be mere prediction or the statement Of
an existing fact.
When . staple commodity reaches its
highest market price it .oon swings back
TO lower value. For two weeks or more
-four has been selling at twice its usual
price. The effect las been felt in
thousands of homes. The corner grocer
has reaped no great benefit from the in
creased price. Nor has the baker.
When the st. Louis millers marx
down the price of -four, the value Of
that commodity will drop all over the
country.
The mark down ought to be made early
III the fall. By that time the Southern
wheat crop will have been converted
into -four. This crop is said to be an
unusually large one. Not until then
can we hope for the baker to increase
the size Of his loaf without the use Of
too much alum, o. the corner grocer to
reduce the price of -four by the sack.

As a striking instance Of the waning
power Of ~reigning sovereigns, We may
note the recent strike Of the students in
the Universities Of Vienna, Prague,
Brunn, Gratz and Innsbruck in Austria
and the students carried their point
After the riots in Prague the govern
ment forbade the students 10 appear in
public places with their colors and other
emblems of their societies, Then the
students decreed a general strike and
decided not to attend the lectures or al
low T---v+e-=5r to read, ~ The
result was that in order 10 prevent riots
the Universities were closed. In the
late troubles in Milan and other italian
cities the stud .nts were the last disturb.
