Philadelphia Times: "Helen!' called
a man in a muffied voice, as he pushed

"What? You, George?"
"Yes, dear Get up; rub your eyes,!
Look what l have brought
The man lit a candle and pushed a
small table to the side of Il bed. Then
upon it he threw one roll of bills after
another, and handfuls of gold until
the top was literally covered.
Look, my poor girl! It's money
real money! Touch it! Take-some of
it in your hands! Rub your eyes and
count it! Ten thousand dollars!
Think! All ours! What happiness.
Starvation, ruin, the street, the NOR

SHIPPING WHISKY IN BOND.
Sent Abroad and stored IN Order
To EIscapc Revenue Tax

To Escape Revenue Tax.
Baltimore Sun: Large shipments of
whisky i'm bond will be made from
Baltimore to European ports within
the next month or two. A shipment
of 1900 barrels is now nearly ready
for export, and about 1000 barrels
more will soon be ready.
While some of the whisky will be
sent by Baltimore owners, the most of
it will be from Cincinnati and other
western cities. After being kept i'm
European warehouses for six months
or Il year the greater part will he
brought back to this country for sale.
The whisky to be sent out is of the
1891 and 1892 distillation, which must
be taken out of the bonded ware
houses because the eight-year limit
has expired. Whisky may be stored in
Il bonded warehouse eight years with
out being subject to the internal rev
enue tax of 81 Il gallon. At the eNpira-
tion OF eight years it must be taken
out. Rather than pay the tax and lose
the use of the money until the sale of
the goods. some owners prefer to ship
their surplus stock to the other side
and store it there until needed, claim
ing that the cost of freight both ways
and storage in Europe will be less
than the cost of meeting internal rev.
cnue requirements at u time when
there is no demand for the goods. The
tax is only required to be paid when
whisky is put on the market for con-
sumption, so that goods shipped to
Europe in bond are not taxed. They
arc brought back as required by the
demands of the market here. Goods
remaining in the country out of bond
are Supposed to be on the market.

4 SERENADE OF WOLVES.

h the May Century, Ernest Seton-Thompson, who used to be known as "Wolf' Thompson, from his fsmilisri- tY with this particular form of wild anil nal, tells how he started wolf serenade st the Nstionsl "Zoo" in Washington.
 While making these notes among the animals of the Washington Zoo, used to go st all hours to see them. Late one evening I sat down with some friends by the wolf-cages, in the light of full moon. said, "Let us see whether they have for gotten the music of the West" I put up my hands to my mouth and howled the hunting song of the pack. The first to respond was Coyote from the Plains. He remembered the wild music that used to mean pickings for him. He put up his muzzle and ''yap-yapped" and howIed. Next sn old Wolf from Colorado came running out, looked and listened esr- nestly, and raising her snout 10 the proper angle, she took up the wild strain. Then all the others came running out and joined in, each according to his voice, but all singing that wild Wolf hunting song, bowling and yelling, rolling and swell ing, high and low, in the cadence of the hills.
 "They sang me their song of the West, the
 West,
 They set sll my feelings aglow, They stirred up my heart with their artIess
 art,
 And their songs of long-ago."
 Again and again they raised the cry, and sang in chorus till the whole moon lit wood around was ringing with the grim refrain-until the inhabitants in the near city must have thought all the beasts broken loose. But at length their clanor lied away, and the Wolves returned, 'lunk back to their dens, silently, sadly thought, as though they realized that hey could indeed join in the bunting Iong as of old, but their hunting days were forevor done.

He was without sin or lack, but far more holiness. Appreciate his feeling of ! triumph when the world pronounced dis 1 aster. Three years of early manhood

 we recall the great Humbolt's words

 the brevity of three years in which to make sure the salvation of all mapkiDd.
 When Judeans had rejected Him, when His disciples had rejected Him, He was did not dismay him. The work was Gods and God must win. He had done his part, there had been no disobedience, no delay, no wrong. Other men are filled with remorse, Christ never had a regret, He left the wolll with note of triumph: 1T have glorifi ed thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.' Thus we have ip Him an ideal not of negative virtue but Of richest manhood. His was the one pree tical, one complete, one succt ssful life. He strove toward the most stupeudoue goal, and he gained it. In His euccess WIS realized and comprehended, all that any worthy minded man may long for, live for, strain for

 or devotion or asperation, any of these,
 but not of all in higher unity. There
 is disproportion and weakness they can-
 not become ideals for humanity. When
 we contemplate Jesus Chris we find per
 feet balance. The seemingly incongru-
 ous elements find in him harmony. All
 capacities are adjusted and unified, an
 artist and poet in taste. yet no one could
 be more practical. His intense patriot ism never becomes partisan or provincial. Tender and sympathetic to the highest degree; yet the boldness of manhood. Childlike before the Father; scourge to
 the hypocrites. 4 sacrifice for the hum- ble man; yet the proudest must bow be- heath his cross. The varied traits find whole man of us, not the beautiful, not the strong, not the holy, as would 8 Shelley, or Napoleon, or an Augustine, but Ithese sparks from the Infinite are gathered up into the one glorious flame in the perfect Son of God. But if any man in his greatness fails through the weakness of dispEoportion, how little can he be an ideal when viewed in the taint of his sin. Sin is the great world evil, and the only real evil. It's eradication is the
 first stage toward perfection. It not on- ly brings imperfect in certain sides of the nature, it taints the whole nature so that one can be ideal nowhere. Never for him can be present the serss Of duty fully done, he has always the certainty of uncompleteness in every act, sins of omission ever opprass. When we carry this thought further into the consider ation that the ideal character must be sin- less we do not hesitate in pr0nouncing that the ideal of humanity must be with out sin.
 When we turn to Jesus we find one am swering to our needs. Which Of you convinceth him of sin. Without spot, blemisb, no remorse, we can follow him unqualifediy. There is no danger of excess; 90 liability to loss anywhere, but imitation of the principles of his life l can bring only sweetness and light.

 THE MORE POSITIVE SIDE OF THE IDEAL.

abhOr. Yet Jesus bridged the gulf and compreheDded the two. The innate gen. tleness and trust and sacrifice of the mother are his; the courage, zeal, integ' rity of the father are his. Thus he be- comes ideal of man and woman, boy and girl.
 Again all temperaments found among men fiud fulflment and completion in him. According to temper, men may be classed in types. Some trait gives tone to the character in each. One Is cautious; another daring. One mercurial and the other phlegmstic; one acquisitive, the.other generous and 30 on. This predominanee of trait may be evil when directed to selfish endg-as in the vicious or rash or suspicious; or 1t may become source of power-as in the ar- dent, the conservative, the benefaetor. But in any case, they are marks of in- compleness, and only suggest the need of other qualities to supplement and to com plement them.

 2. The fact that
 HIS CHARACTER IS IN PERFECT BALANCE and is without bIemish. Great men are specialists by birth and by training. Not the talents common to al give them pre- eminence; but the one peculiarly proyid- ed by nature, which is seized upon and enlarged until in it's magnitude & place of power Is secured over common men. The result Is almost always disproportion. ill-balance of character, it may even pass into excess in the sense of loss of control. The genius is generally eccentric; he is great but marrow; rich in one capacity, poor in many. The talent has been in- creased; but dozen others have been hid in 6 napkin. This often seems to be the necessary cost of greatness. Not only Is this the case as regards intellect, or emotion, but frequently as well in the higher realm of character. Thus they are not proper ideals. They may be models AS regards music, or art orI
