yet ceased, so no system elaborated in
the partial darkness OF the human soul
has eyer yet been more then a stepping
stone. He contends for the reasonable
ness of this position because system
made up with human elements only
represents spiritual truth crystal1zed
into the human ideas of the time, and
as consequence no sooner is system
formulated than it begins to grow old ;
yet every truth buried in a creed SOON
er or later bursts the bands OF death.
lays aside the grave clothes, and comes
forth again to live. The new man
spiritual therefore, is full OF the in
spiration that comes from feeling per-
feet knowledge to be nearer to us now
than 1t has ever yet been in the history
of the race. Also he cares but little
for himself as to whether perfect knowl-
edge shall come during the temporary
span of his material life, or whether
It's full glories shall be understood when
the spiritual is no longer clothed and
and drawn back by the phys
ical. His only care is that as he gains
light he shall give light, and that as he
rises Into the clear atmosphere above
the darkling canyons ct human wretch
edness he shall LIT others with him.
Thus is he happy in getting simply
that he may scatter again.

The New Man--Splritual loves all who
love truth. Truth is his meat and his
drink and in the strength Of it he goes
forward. He binds none. He forces
none. Neither will he be bound nor
forced. For all men of minds he hopes
all things and is serene.

Joined in the murderous assault. Dr.
Hodge was shot i'll the hands and alb

Italians, took them from the Sheriff

It was unfortunate and the lynching
was a serious mistake.

And still the war drags on in the
Philippines. There is great difference
between the attitude Of the people OF
this country now and year ago con-
cerning the war. Then, all was anxiety
and interest now, no one seems to give
much heed to the matter. The papers
report a fight occasionally, but really
there is room for doubt whether or
not we know here the real state OF at
fairs over there. The people would be
o,ad for hostilities to terminate. The
ranort comes that there are three thou
sand sick soldiers in Our hospitals ana
camps in the Philippines. This is sad
news and many heart in this country
beats with sorrow Tor suffering OF loved
ones far away. And many there are
who cannot see any cause for the con-
tinuatlon of the life-sacrl6cing struggle.

A BOOK OF FATE.
The Keeping OF One often Helps t.
Make the Keeper Quite
Miserable.

A young woman who revels in woe
has evolved, or at least revived, an ex'
cellent way Of keeping herself in a
state Of perpetual gloom, says New
York exchange, She has diary with
two pages for each day, On one page
she writes what she expects to do,where
she proposes to go and whom she hopes
to see during the day. On the opposite
page she writes what she has DONE
where she goes and whom she has seen.
The pages, says the young woman,
never agree and are usually fat con-
tradictions OF each other. The silver
lining of the cloud Of pessimism which
such a perverse state of affairs would
otherwise engender is that she has no
ticed that when she predicts and ex-
poets gloomy day, filled with disa-
greeable duties or monotonous dull
ness the opposite page is sure to glim-
mer with pleasant surprises - calls
from pleasant people, letters from alb
sent friends, invitations Of an especial
ly tempting character and all sorts of
unlooked-for enjoyment. The writer
Of the diary says she finds 1t an excel
lent antidote for undue elation of spir-
its and check to despair. When she
feels "down" she can turn TO her blue
days and see how well they turned out,
and when she feels particularly exuber-
ant a glance at the records of days
joyously anticipated but miserably
spent has wonderfully SOLDERING eff
feet. The book keeps her in a state Of
tranquil neutrality very restful for the
nerves. The absurd young woman has
had the old diary bound in pink and
purple, typifying joy and woe, and calls
1t her book Of fate.

JUMPED OVER A TOWN.
That Is What n Certain Ship Did and
1t Was Afterwards Car
ried Back.

A most extraordinary incident hap
pened to the corvette Monongahela at
Santa Cruz in 1857. While at anchor in
the harbor a tremendous tidal wave
lifted her upon its crest and carried her
clean over the town Of Frederichstadt
and back again without injuring the
town or the boat to any great extent.
The receding wave landed her on the
beach instead of in the waters of the
harbor, and it cost the United States
government 100000 to float her again.
Fully as strange was the fate of the
sloop-of-war Wateree. She was an
chored in the harbor of africa, Peru, in
1868, when huge tidal wave swept in
land and flooded the whole city. The
wave carried the sloop several miles in
land and finally landed her in the
midst of tropical forest. 1t was i'm
possible to release her from such a pc
culiar position, and she was sold for a
nominal sum. The purchasers turned
the vessel into hotel, and the remains
Of the once formidable war vessel loom
up in the tropical forest to-day as a
monument to the power of tidal waves
