ADDRESS OF DR.. SMITH.


In a beautiful portrayal Of the life and
character of the aged minister. Rev. Dr
James P. Smith. editor of the
Central Presbyterian, took occasion
to point out some of the remark
able phases of the life of a disciple of
Christ. He said it was wonderful! that
a minister could come into a Christian
community and live in Jesus and work for
him one year without Welding to temp
tatfon and without being the victim of
Criticism.
.sIt is still more remarkable should he
live so in the public eye for ten years.
continued DR.. Smith.
yet how much more wonderful is it
that a man should so live as a Christian
minister in one community for fifty wears
and not only ed!fy and influence his people
for good but so conduct the affairs of his
own life that in all that time he held only
the love and respect and veneration OF ali
who knew him Such a man was our de-
parted friend
DR. Smith went on to say thai DR.. Read
came to Richmond when he was 35 wears
of age a handsome. cultured. promising
man. and entered on pastorate in which
he had been preceded by distinguished
men; and mad lived to be the last of that

as Rev. DR.. Moses 7. .Hoge. DR.. Dahnev. Dr.

rmmaterial to Him who Was Exs

rmmaterial to Him who Was Exe-
cuted.
Many stories ATE told of the shah Of
Persia In connection with his last visit
to England. One of these tales, prob
ably more amusing than true, Is that
he advised the Prince Of Wales quietly
TO make away with q certain extremely
influential duke, as the latter was
growing too powerful to be safe. But
q story which Is vouched for Is the &C
count of the shah's visit to Newgate
prison. While there he suddenly re-
Quested to see an execution. He was
courteously informed that at the pres
ent moment there was no one under
sentence. The shah swept away these
trfning objections with wave Of his
hand. Take one Of my suite" said
he. ANY one will do" And he was
woefully disappointed because the off,
cials OH the spot declined to comply
with his request. The shah had a mag
nificent collection of jewels, among
them being an emerald nearly as large
as hens egg. The present shah will
make . continental tour this summer,
visiting England in July. 1t is said
that he is bringing with him a num-
Der of costly and beautiful gifts for
his royal and imperial hosts in all the
places he Intends to visit. His tour
will take six months. He intends to

Il will be interesting to note what
marks the present war will leave on
our manners, customs and language.
A big war has results of this kind.
The wars with Napoleon gave US "Wel-
lingtons." "Bluchers," and probably,
the long military, cloak. The Russian
war supplied US with a new name for
girls, Alma" broke down the military
monopoly Of fringed upper lip. and
made the long familiar sight Of his
polished mahogany obsolete for the
Englishman who reached the stage OF
his dinner when dessert is laid and the
wine goes round. That war made
fnustaches common and coasters" a
curiosity. The great Franco-Prussian
campaign had comparatively little So
cia1 influence on us-probably because
we were not actual belligerents. We
learned to take interest in maneuvers,
a word which soon superseded the old
sham fights" AS yet the present war
has Influenced more our language than
our customs. Trekking, outspanning,
veldt, lager are slipping into use.
Khaki has become familiar color,
and Colonial" uniform familiar in
our streets. We may each hote for
ourselves these indirect, unobtrusive,
but probably lasting influences Of the

spanish Proverbs.

Proverbs uncomplimentary to the
fair sex are common In Spain: "A
woman like pavement should be well
trampled on to keep in order" "A
weman is like candle; twist her neck
II you wish her to be good" Beware
Of a bad woman. and do not trust a
good one." Crying in a woman and
limping In dog, is all a sham" "A
cock crows on his own dunghill, but
hens cackie everywhere" (This in
reference to the supposed garrulous-
ness and inquisitive disposition of the
sex). Show me q maybe without a
spot. and will show you woman
without fault" In English, counter
parts are not warrington example:
A woman. dog and walnut tree
The more you beat them the better
they be. Mothers-in-law and step
mothers come In for q good deal of
sarcasm; some of the proverbs in re-
gard to them will not stand transla-
ton. OF a man who is accounted
lucky they say: "If he fell from the
roof of house he would fall on tie
