DECLINE OF eHuacH-oo,No.
Two Reasons Why People Do Not us
 so Service.

The pulpit used to be the chief means of instruction and of intellectual and moral S emulation for the people The pulpit orator was the peoples or ator. The pulpit has in great measure lost it's attractive power in this fe- gard, says Popular Science. The oa1ly and weekly press have greater in1iu- snce in public instruction. The multi plication of cheap books also takes from the pulpit large share of It's ln- sluenee in this regard. Oratory in legls- iative bodies has to a great extent lost its influence It's place has been taken by simple, compact, time-saving state ments, often printed but not delivered. Committees do the work which used to be done after discussion before the public. So the people will not listen now to the pulpit orator of former gen- eratians. They demand short, crisp ser- mons that bristle with points and are practical and helpful. In other words. fhe oratorical and highly intellectual character of the pulpit. which used to attract worshipers, no longer attracts fhem They feel that they can get more benefit in this regard by reading in the comfort of the home. Multi 4udes of people can ne longer be ins duced to attend church to be instructed by the minister or to get his Judgment on topics of the time. or to be stirred by his eloquence; they can get all these things cheaper and easier by reading at home. When, now, this is se-enforced by the fact that multitudes dislike the doctrines of the church and resent them when they are preached, we can easily understand that churcE attendance should decline very greatly from this reason.

THE GATES OF GIBRALTAR.
Interesting Ceremony of Locking Them
 at Shutdown

at SunQoWn
 Quite the favorite sight at Gibraltar Is the daily procession at sundown for the locking of the town gates. The keeper of the keys, looking very like a prisoner despite his uniform, marches through the town in the center of a military guard, preceded by regi- mental band, which plays inspiring ta- miliar tunes. The keys, of enormous size, are borne aloft before him as an outward and visible emblem of the vigilance of Britain in guarding her prime military treasure. On arriving at the gates, the guards salute, the martial strains strike up with redou- bIed peal of triumph, while the great doors slowly swing to, and are solemn jy locked for the night. Then right about turn, and the procession marches back to the convent to deposit the keys In the governors keeping, conveying by its passage an assurance to the peo- pie and garrison that they may rest in peace. Once the gates are shut 1t were easier for camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for any unauthor- ized person to go into Gibraltar. Even a belated officer returning from pig sticking beyond the lines would be con- fronted by so many formalities and the necessity of inconveniencing so high personages that he would probably prefer to encounter the disco1ofort of Spanish inn without.

london Decision That Mould Cause As,
 tonlshment In This Country.


 A London magistrate has just made from the bench a statement which. If It is ever duplicated by competent rourt in this city, would or might have consequences terrible even to imagine. l. seems that on one Of the urban rail- ways there had been crowded train. A woman had tried to force her way into compartment already fully oc< cupied and her efforts had excited a mild protest from one of the pas- sengers already seated. The protest ing remarks were taken amiss by tha Weman's husband, fight followed and then an arrest Of tie pugnaeious hus- 0and. It is not a matter of any con- sequence whether he or the other man was at fault for the scrinlmage; what is at least interesting is the fact that the magistrate before whom the case came formally announced that nobody has right to enter a railway carriage which is already full Those who take tickets at the starting point, he said, are entitled to seats Snd tickets taken at intermediate sta- tlons arc subject to there being room for the holders. If the company issues tickets ill excess of the number of seats provided the holders may bring an acc ton for damages, wait for the next train or demand the return of their money. Persons in a carriage which is full have legal, as well as moral right to prevent others from en- deayer.-g to enter it and the sooner the public understands this the bet ter, as no one has right to ineon. Yenienee passengers already in their places. Such is the English law, accord. ing to this interpreter of it. Patrons of ! our own elevated and surface cars are not likely even to ask if there Is any such law in this country. They are so we'll habituated to travelling in cruel discomfort that tie impulse to make ess tectivo protest agninst 1t has been lost.

Statistics of Britlsh Eunig,ansa.

Statistics just issued by the Board of Trade show that during 1889 a total of 241, ,405 emigraAts left Great Britain. as compared with 205, III in the previ- GUS year. The greater proportion of this increased outflow of 36,000 con- sisted of foreigners. How tver; these were sbird,s of passage numbering e0,000, compared with 60,000 in 1898. The numbel, Of British emigrants was over 5000 In excess of that in 1898. and 1t is remarkable that this was wholly due to an increased exodus from Ireland, 5000 more persons of Irish birth leaving last year, prac- eically all going to the United States. while the English emigrants were 5000 fewer. Of the total number of British emigrants, viz, 146,777, DO fewer thai. g., ,53o were bound for the great rie- public, an increase of 22,000 as com pared with 1898, and 16,451 for British North America, decrease of 1,20g Australia received HAYS, against I0, G93, while the outlook of war so seri- ously checked emigration to South Africa tha. the number declined from 5s,75s in 1898 to 1t.beo las. fesr.
