NUGGETS of TRUTH.

AS man thinketh on election day,
so is he the rest of the year.
Perhaps the saloon is to continue.
But the church must cut loose from it
or die.-John G. Woolley.
The only anarchist we need fear is
the anarchist in Office, who presumes
to annul the laws the sovereign people
have made.
Why should not the nation and the
states grant local option for polygamy?
would be quite as consistent as to
grant local option to the liquor bust
ness.
Men say that the Filipinos drank
before we went there. Perhaps they
did, but we did not sell it to them
Robert e. Speer, Presbyterian mis-
sionary secretary.
BY careful estimates it is stated
that the same investment that gives
employment to 434 men in the brewer
les of Rochester, N. Y, would give
employment to 9,736 hands if it was
invested in making shoes.
Talk about elevating, civilizing, and
Christianizing the Filipinos! There
has been more harm done there al
ready, through whisky and it's satel-
lites, than thousand devoted and de-
vout missionaries can rectify in the
next fifty years.-Riverside, published
at the Red Wing Training School.

Men may count but God will weigh
Votes cast on election day;t9
Mid the voters He will stand

And will garner every grain

But the chaff, in righteous ire,
Will consume with flaming fire.

Khedive's Poe m to Victoria.

The Pail Mall Gazette gives this
translation of the Arabic poem pre-
sented by the Khedive to the Queen
when he visited Windsor last week.
The poem was written by a well known
Egyptian man of letters, Ismail Assem-:
20 Lady of the Kingdom, o Thou OFF,
spring of those Mighty Suns. who soar
ed along with their Realms to Spheres
under which roll as humble maidens
the Heavenly Planets bright. Around
Thy Sacred Head do the Angels
wreathe their Love garlands interwov-
en- with the Love jewels of human
Souls. But art Thous a Goddess, too,
that before Thee have Times fiinched
and knelt with an affrighted look. To
Thy Sway have humbled themselves
the Countries of the Earth, and the
mighty Oceans, with their rolling.
foaming Plains, and the fearful des-
erts, with their rolling, sandy waves,
thunderstruck stood before Thee The
London Daily News gives a somewhat
different, perhaps freer, translation,
and relates a curious circumstance,
showing that the poem is in part re-
markable tour de force: This last
hemistich is 'quantitative' in an unex-
pected sense. Each letter has in the
Arabic alphabet its arithmetic value,
and if all the letters of this hemistich
are added together they make 1900, the
date of the sixty-third year of her Maj
esty's reign"

None Will Have it at Any Price.

Outside a secondhand bookstore in
Philadelphia, displayed over a miscel-
laneous collection of volumes is a sign
which reads: ANY book in this lot,
10 cents" There are all sorts of
things, ranging from medical works to
volumes of fugitive verse by unknown
poets. Some are very old and very
worn, while others are handsomely
bound and look as though they had just
come from the publishers. In this lat
ter class is volume from the pen of
William Waldorf Aston, who is just
now rather conspicuous in the public
eye. 1t is called Valentino: A Ro-
nance of Italy in the Sixteenth Centu-
ry." 1t is handsome specimen of the
Scribners' bookmaking, and is as good
as new, although having been publish
ed several years age. The man In
charge of the stall says 1t has been
there for quite a while, which would
seem to indicate that nobody wants q
book by William Waldorf Aston, ever
at the price of ten cents.
