PROLoNG CHILDHOOD Too early
children b:c7me men and women.
Our effort should be to prolong their
childhood. and beguile and enthrall
them with childish pleasures and
smusements. Let them believe with
all their hearts that Santa Claus is a
real person and lover Of children.
Let Imagination not be checked, bu!
have full aud free rein. Too scoa,
yes altogether, too sooa, will their
eyes be open, and they discover the
hollowness OF life, as they assume du
ties we would fain have than escape.
Only after they are men and women
need they p1taWay childish things.

There are many of these deserters

and there are millions of Democrats

Of real antagonism to the principles

This wonderful little newspaper was
called the Free Bazaar News, and was
published daily at the London Press
Bazaar, held for reimbursing the cof-
fers of the London hospital. 1t was
free" however, only in name, for no
daily newspaper could ever hope to
touch the prices obtained for it--for
its aristocrat proprietors sold it for
30 cents copy.
The idea of the paper seemed TO
strike half dozen women at once, so
no one can claim to be its originator.
but the cause of it was the donation To
the bazaar committee, by the directors
of ii linotype company, of one Of their
machines az an exhibit. 1t seemed a
shame that $4,000 Of useful machinery
should not be utilized, SO the Duchess
of Sutherland and some Of her clique
planned the little paper which proved
such a success. 1t was really "the"

Then Comes General War.

According to the scheme ofprophecy
adopted by leading Interpreters, the
world is now under the ffth vial,
which is being poured out on the seat
OF the beast.-Rev. 26:10. II so, we
zeed not be astonished at still great
er and heavier judgments yet to be
sent upon Spain. For the vial is now
TO be drained to its dregs. says min
lister in the Atlanta (Ga.) Journal.
After the humiliation and over
throw OF the Spanish power the next
thing on the prophetic bulletin board
vii. he the destruction Of Turkey, SYM
bolized by the drying up Of the river
Euphrates. We no more doubt the de-
struction Of Turkey than the shining
of the sun. At the beginning OF the
present struggle many expressed the
fear of general war, in which all the
nations of Europe would be involved.
The writer took no part in such fear,
and for the reason the time for that
had not yet come. The sixth vial must
first be poured out upon the Euphrates
turkey, after which the seventh and
last vial is to be poured out into the
air. Then, and not till then. may we
expect anything like a general war.
In connection with the pouring out
of the seventh or last vial. is to be the
last of great earthquake or upheav-
al in the religious world, which is to
usher in the millennium, by which we
are not to understand that everybody
is to be converted, but simply that all
organized opposition TO the Gospel will

criminal court by Prosecuting At
torney Lowe before the robbcr is

such cases to dismiss the charge

Goes on the witness stand. This
was done in the case Of Flynn,

Ccntury's Greatest Work.

If the question were asked what is
the greatest mechanical achievement OF
the nineteenth century, the correct an
swer would undoubtedly be the II 900
mile railway Russia is now completing
across her whole empire. Tho road will
be finished and in operation throughout
its whole length before 1898 is ended.
It cost 5000, 600, 600 and has occupied
altogether about ten years III conslruc-
ton from tho time tho first surveys
were made. From St. Petersburg to
Vladivostok, tho eastern terminus Oh
the Pacific ocean. the road covers II 600
miles, Across Siberia the distance is
5000 miles. BY aid Of this road ono
may travel around tho globe in 33 days,
and Americans will DO among tho first
to make the trip.
The political aud moral effects Of this
great industrial enterprise are incalcu'
liable Before these effects tho power Of
England in Asia will dwindle. 1t can
not be otherwise. From tho military
and political point of view the road
will make Russian influence in Asia
paramount 80 long as tho empire stands.
Economically it will open up to free
settlement 1000, 900 square miles of
good agricultural lands. Russia will
oolonize as rapidly as possible her peas
ants at homo upon these lands, SO that
from now on there will be no more FAM
ines in the empire. Besides that the
road will be O direct invasion Of civil
ization into the hitherto inaccessible
regions of the Chinese empire, with its
400, 900, 900 people.
