No better opportunity has been at.
forded for years to guage the exact
standing Of the United States Senate,
with reference to it's alleged corrup-
ton and its too friendly relations with
the great railroad corporations, than
will be presented in the next few days
when the Nicaraguan Canal bill comes
up for discussion. The way in which
they vote will show more conclusively
than ever before whether that body
is the property of the money or
the people of the country. 1t is an
undeniable fact that the establish
ment of this new route Of transporta-
ton will be one of the greatest strides
towards the commercial leadership OF
nations that the United States has
ever taken, while it Is also evident
that the most remarkable decrease in
freight tariff that will lie the,compan-
ion Of this project, should it be sue
cessful, will create an invincible COM
petition for the transcontinental rail-
way companies to fight against. 1t
is a natural supposition therefore that
the latter will exert every effort to
defeat the measure when it comes be-
fore the Senate this week, How great
their influence may be In that quarter
we, have yet tossee.

Ahead of America.

l know it would be wrong to explain
our being three years ahead of a New
England boy merely from the scholar
ly preparation of our teachers, says
Professor Hugo Munsterberg. A sec
ond factor, which is hardly less i'm
portant, stands clear before my mind,
too; the help which our school found
in our homes. | do not mean that We
were helped in our work, but the
teachers were silently helped by the
spirit which prevailed in our homes
with regard to the school work. The
school had the right of way, our par
ents reinforced our belief in the work
and our respect for the teachers; a
reprimand in the school was a
shadow on our home life; word or
praise in the school was ray OF sun
shine for the household. The excel
lent school books, the wise plans for
the upbuilding of the ten years
course, the hygienic care, the external
stimulatlons, have all, of course, help
ed toward the results; and yet l am
convinced that their effect was en-
tirely secondary compared with those
two features, the scholarly enthusiasm
Of our teachers, and the respect for
the school on the part of our parents.

A writer in the North American Re-
view calls attention to the evils of
excessive legislation. 1t appears that
at their last annual sessions, the legis-
latures of our forty-flve states enacted
more than fourteen thousand laws
good, bad and Indifferent. Such in
dustry might be said TO speak volumes
for the public spirit of the American
people if we could wink out of sight
the facts that many of the "acts"
spring from an unwholesome desire to
accomplish social reforms by short
processes, and that many more of
them represent individual or corporate
contrivances to utilize the power of
the state for the turning of private
grindstones.

Christ a Sympathizer.

My subject also treasures us Of the
fact that in all our struggles we have
a sympathizer. You cannot tell Christ
anything new about hardship. do not
think that wide ages of eternity will
take the scars from his punctured size
and his lacerated temples and his sore
hands. You will never have bur
den weighing so many pounds as that
burden Christ carried up the bloody
hill. You will never have any suffer-
ing worse than he endured, when with
tongue hot and cracked and inflamed
and swollen, he moaned, Il thirst
You will never be surrounded by
worse hostility than that which stood
around Christ's feet, foaming, revil-
ing, livid with rage, bowling down his
prayers, and shutting UP the smell Of
blood. ye faint hearted, o ye
troubled, o we prosecuted one, here Is
a heart that can sympathize with you!

Some curious spiral fossils, recently
discovered in rocks of the Permian pc
Rod in Russia, appear to represent a
kind Of sawlike appendage, armed with
enamelled teeth, and capable of being
rolled up in the manner of a spiral
spring, which once belonged to a spe-
cies of fish related to the rays and dog
fish of today. A French geologist,
Monsieur PREM, suggests that the fish
carried this singular weapon as an ex-
tension of its upper jaw. Except in
its capability of being rolled up, such
an appendage seems to be no more
wonderful than that Of the sawfish or
the swordish.

eases Of that delicate organ have been
cured? But Jesus says to one blind,
BE open!" and the light of heaven
rushes through gates that have never
before been opened. The frost or an
AK may kill a tree, but Jesus smites
one dead with a word. Chemistry
may do many wonderful things, but
what chemist at wedding when the
wine gave out could change a pail of
water into acask of wine? What human
voice could command a school of fish?
Yet here is voice that marshals the
scaly tribes, until in a place where
they had let down the net and pulled
IL up with no fish in it they let it down
again, and the disciples lay hold and
began to pull. when by reason OF the
multitude Of fish the net broke. Ma
twisted them into his sermons; the
winds-they were his lullaby when he
slept in the boat; the rain-it hung
glitteringly on the thick foliage Of the
parallels; the star Of Bethlehem-lt
sang a Christmas carol over his birth;
the rocks-they beat dirge at his
death. Behold his victory over the
grave! The hinges of the family vault
become very rusty because they are
never opened except to take another in.
There is a knob on the outside Of the
door Of the sepulcher, but none on the
inside. Here comes the conqueror OF
death. He enters that realm and says,
Daughter of Jairus, sit up!" and she
sits up. To Lazarus, Come FORTH"
and he came forth. To the Widows
son he said, Get up from that bier!"
and he goes home with his mother.
Then Jesus snatche1 up the keys of
death and hung them to his girdle
and cried until all the graveyards of
the earth heard him, 20 Death, 1
will be thy plague! o Grave, l will be
thy destruction"

The peculiar condition of the atmos-
phere over southern England and
western France on January 18th gave
rise to extraordinary exhibitions Of
solar halos. or sun dogs, described in
the scientific journals of both coun-
tries. The phenomena were very beau.
tiful, the sun being surrounded with
concentric circles and inverted arches
showing rainbow colors, while mock
suns appears among the halos. They
were caused by clouds of minute ice
crystals floating at great elevation.

The curious gymnastic feats which
parrots sometimes perform in theii
cages have been ascribed to the desire
of the birds to vary the monotony of
their life in captivity. That was the
opinion of Mrs. Maudsley, the wife of

she saw the parrots, in a state of per-
feet freedom, indulging in all the feats
practised by their Gagged cousins.

Social and economic conditions, as
they are reported to exist in Guam,

people do not produce themselves, they
do not need money. There is neither
store nor market on the island in
which household necessaries may be
bought by exiles from the outside

O'Leary, upon whose authority the
more essential facts stated above are
based, you have to beg people to sell
things" Obviously, modern progress

The Supernatural Nature.

No man could go through all the OBJ
stacles l have described, you say,
without having nature super
natural In that arm, amid its mus
cles and nerves and bones, were in
tertwisted the energies of omnipo-
tence. In the syllables of that voice
there was the emphasis of the eternal
God. That foot that walked the deck
of the ship in Gennesaret shall
stamp Kingdoms Of darkness into de-
molition. This poverty struck Christ
owned Augustus, owned the sanhe-
drn. owned Tiberias, owned all the
castles on its beach and all the skies
that looked down into it's water, own
ed all the earth and all the heavens.
To him OF the plain coat belonged the
robes Of celestial royalty. He who
walked the road to Emmaus the light
nings were the fire shod steeds of his
chariot. Yet there are those who look
on and see Christ turn water into
wine, and they say, 1T was sleight Of
hand!" And they see Christ raise the
dead to life, and they say, Easily ex-
planned; not really dead; playing
dead" And they see Christ giving
sight to the blind man, and they say,
"Clairvoyant DOCTOR" Oh what shall
they do on the day when Christ rises
up in judgment and the hills shall
rock and the trumpets shall call, peal
en- peal?

One of the most important facts
which developed during the late war
with Spain was the great need by this
country of moro coaling stations for
the navy. The navy department, real
izing this. has been for some time at
work planning for the establishment
of stations at various parts of the
world. and all now depends upon the
negotiations in progress between the
state department and the various coun-
tries concerned. The government of
Liberia has recently consented to the
establishment of a coaling station at
site to be selected by the navy de-
partment, and it is the intention to
Immediately begin the necessary work.
The department will establish stations
at Page Page, Guam and Honolulu.

From the Following Text II Have
Finished tho Work Which Thou Gavest
Me to Do"-JChn XVII, 4-The Fruits
of Wen Won Victory.

copyright. 1900 by Louis Klopsch.1
There is a profound satisfaction in
the completion of anything we have
undertaken. We lift the capstone with
exultation, while, on the other hand
there is nothing more disappointing
than after having toiled in a certain
direction to find that our time is vast
ed and our investment profitless.
Christ came to throw up highway on
which the whole world might, if it
chose, mount into heaven. He did IL.
The foul mouthed crew who attempted
to tread on him could not extinguish
the sublime satisfaction which he ex-
pressed when he said, 81 have finished
the work which thou gavest me to
do"
Alexander the Great was wounded,
and the doctors could not medicate his
wounds, and he seemed to be dying and
in his dream the sick man saw a plant
with peculiar flower, and he dream
ed that that plant was put upon his
wound and that Immediately it was
cured. And Alexander, waking from
his dream, told this to the physician,
and fhe physician wandered out until
he found just the kind of plant which
the sick man had described, brought
it 10 him, and the wound was healed.
Well, the human race had been hurt
with the ghastliest of all wounds
that of sin. 1t was the business of
Christ to bring a balm for that wound
the balm of divine restoration. In
carrying this business to a success
full issue the difficulties were stupen-
Gous.

Man without a Diploma.

All this was against Christ. So the
fact that he was not regularly gradu-
ated was against him. If a man come
with the diplomas of colleges and
schools and theological seminares,
and he has been through foreign trav-
ell, the world is disposed to listen But
here was a man who had graduated
at no college, had not in any acad-
envy by ordinary means learned the
alphabet of the language he spoke, and
yet ne proposed to talk. to instruct in
subjects which had COMPOUNDED the
mightiest intellectss; John says: "The
Jews marveled, saying, How hath this
man letters, having never learned?"
We, in our day, have found out that
man without a. diploma may know
as much as a man with one and that
college can not transform a slug
gard into philosopher or a the6log-
ical seminary teach fool to preach.
An empty head after the, laying on of
hands Of the presbytery is empty still.
But IL shocked all existing prejudices
in those olden times for a man with
no scholastic pretensions and no grad
uation from a learned Institution to set
himself up for a teacher. It was
against him.
So also the brevity Of his life was
against him. He had not come to what
we call mid-life. But very few men do
anything before S3 years of age, and
yet that was the point at which
Christs life Terminated. The first Is
years you take. in nursery and school.
Then it will take you six years to get
into your occupation or profession.
That will bring you to 81 years. Then
IL will take you ten years at least to
get established in your life work, cor
recting the mistakes you have made

The Spiritual UpbuIldinG.


In many of our plans we have our
friends to help us; some to draw
sketch of the plan, others to help us
in the execution. But Christ fought
every inch of his way against bitter
hostility and amid circumstances all
calculated to depress and defeat.
In his fathers shop no more inter-
course was necessary than is ordinar-
lily necessary In bargaining with men
that have work to do; yet Christ. with
hands hard from use of tools OF trade,
was called forth to become a public
speaker to preach in the face Of mobs,
while some wept and some shook their
fists and some CRASHED upon him with
their teeth and many wanted him out
of the way. To address orderly and
respectful assemblages is not so easy
as it may seem, but 1t requires more
energy and more force and more con-
centration to address an exasperated
mob The villagers Of Nazareth heard
the pounding of his hammer, but all
the wide reaches OF eternity were to
hear the stroke of his spiritual up
building.
So also the habits of dress and diet
were against him. The mighty men of
Christ's time did not appear in appare!
without trinkets and adornments.
None of the Caesars would have ap-
peared In citizens apparel. Yet here
was man, here was a professed king,
who always wore the same coat. In
deed, it was far from shabby, for after
he had worn it long while the gam
blers thought it worth rafting about.
but still it was far from being an
imperial robe It was coat that any
ordinary man might have worn on an
ordinary occasion.
Neither was there any pTetension IN
his diet. No cupbearer with golden
chalice brought him wine to drink
On the seashore he ate fish, first hav-
ing broiled it himself. No one fetched
him water to drink; but, bending over
the we'll in 'Samaria, he begged a
drink. He sat at only one banquet,
and that not at all sumptuous, for TO
relieve the awkwardness of the host
one OF the guests had to prepare wine
for the company.

The heel of his foot made no indenta-
