There is probably nothing so charac-
teristic OF the theological trend of the
times as the rejection OF authority IN
religion, including that OF the Holy
Scriptures. We do not mean merely
the rejection Of the inerrancy OF scrip
ture or any particular theory of IN
Spiration, but the denial OF the trust
gorthin9ss ana authority of the Bible.
This drift OF current speculative
thought toward the rejection Of au-
thority as aground of belief Is fruit
ful In practical results There is a
Widespread restlyeness under definite
statements OF doctrine and duty, and
a strong desire for greater latitude In
the rejection Of old beliefs and rules OF
conduct. There is an undue exaltation
OF the human element in the Scriptures,
and a corresponding ignoring OF the
divine, TN the latter Is largely left out
OF sight Nay more. In some cases II
mas come to this. that prominent teach
ers within the Christian churches hold
that whether the scripture records, in
GLIDING what the Gospels tell us about
the Lord Jesus Christ. are facts or fic-
tons is matter of minor Importance.
that need not affect Christian faith or
piety. This is as much as to say that
those who rlject the historic Jesus
Christ Of the Gospels may still claim
to be His disciples. The poe; Colerldge
counted nothing in the Bible inspired
except what found him" Some mod
ern teachers appear to hold that moth
ing In the Bible has any authority for
them but what they choose to lndorse.
They regard the Scriptures merely as
the thoughts and lessons which good
men Of former times address to the
people OF their day.

nKOST people think that catarrh is a
wi disease confined to the head and nose.
AVA Nothing is farther from the truth. It
may be that the nose and throat is the Oft
enest affected by catarrh, but if this is so it is
so only because these parts are more ex'
the other parts of the body.
Every organ, every duct, every. cavity Of
the human body is Liable to catarrh. A mul-
titude Of ailments depend on catarrh. This
is true winter and summer. Catarrh causes
many cases of chronic disease, where the
victim has not the slightest suspicion that
catarrh has anything to do with it..

For the rest, the best portrait we get
of Washington at this time is that
given by John Bernard, distinguished
English actor, who visited this country
in 1898. Travelling on horseback,
through the country to Alexandria,
Bernard came upon an upturned ve-
hicle at the same time that another
horseman rode up. The occupants
were a man and a woman.
Actor Bernard's Meeting.
The stranger, all the time addressing
a volley of invectives to the man,
worked in the broiling sun with Bern
ard until the chaise was righted.
''Then," recounts the actor, my COM
panion offered very courteously to dust
my coat. He was a tall, erect, we'll
made man, advanced in years, but who
appeared to have retained all the vigor
and elasticity resulting from a life of
temperance and exercise. His dress
was blue coat buttoned to his chin,
and buckskin breeches. I failed to
identify him, and to my surprise found
I was an object of equal speculation in
his eyes. But, after moments pause,
he said: ''Mr. Bernard, l believe" and
mentioned the occasion on which he
had seen me play in Philadelphia. He
then asked Bernard to go home with
him for a couple of hours rest, and

Social Life Of the President.
/. On. court days he went to the
courthouse with other gentlemen to
listen to the arguments and hear tho
news. On his visits to Williamsburg
his diaries tell us of round of din
ners, calls, theaters, and, on Sundays,
church. So the reasonable, whole
some and happy current of life at
Mount Vernon moved gently on till
stirring public events diverted its
course.
Washington's manner of living and
his conduct of his private affairs
while president was naturally very
different from that of the plantation
days. However, everything he did
still evinced the simplicity and at the
same time the wonderful dignity and
poise of his character.
From his chief manager at Mount
Vernon he exacted a full and exact
weekly report. Once week he wrote
regularly to the manager, remarking
on. the report of the preceding week
and adding new directions. He had
not been long in New York before
he found it necessary to establish
rules for. receiving visitors. and en-
tertaining company. There was no
precedent to serve as a guide, and
the matter was one of considerable
delicacy and difficulty. The vice pres
ident, Mr.. Jay, Mr.. Madison, Mr..
Hamilton and other gentlemen con-
curing, set of regulations were
adopted. Every Tuesday between the
hours of three and four he was pre-
pared to receive such persons as
chose to call; foreign ministers,
strangers and citizens came and went
without ceremony. Every Friday aft
ernoon the rooms were open in like
manner for visits to Mrs. Washing-
ton, which were on a still more So
ciable footing, and at which Gen.
Washington was always present.
No visits were received on Sunday.
In the morning the president uni
formly attended church.
Washington here exercised the
same care in the management of his
household as at Mount Vernon. All
accounts were scrutinized, and no ex-
travagance or waste permitted. But
with the strictest economy it is said
that his expenses far exceeded his
salary of $4,000.
The diary which Washington kept
here, as all through life, is most in
teresting, and gives pleasant

HOW TO PLAY THE WHEEL.

tainty as it is foretold by counting
the buttons on your coat.
Suppose, says the Kansas City
Times, you wish to tell a friends for
tune. First he must mentally select
some number in the magic 90, a num-
Der not less than 10 or more than 100.
Then let him place his finger upon
one of the numbered disks in the
straight shaft. You VINO are in the
secret will Immediately know what
future is in store for your friend,
but he may discover it for himself by
turning the wheel as directed. From
the disk chosen upon the straight
shaft let him count up or down, as
the case may be, toward the rim of
the circle. Upon reaching the rim of
the circle he will turn the wheel to
the left as many disks as in addition
to the ones counted on the shaft will
make up the number chosen from tho
magic 80. Now turn the wheel in the
opposite direction, to the right, as
many disks as the full number first
selected. The disk at which the
counting ends foretells with certainty
your friends future trade.
To tell where your friend will end
his counting, no matter what number
he has chosen, count as many disks
to the right of the shaft as there are
disks between the rim on the shaft
and the one on which your friend
placed his finger. Do this, of course,
without attracting his attention.
To give an instance let US suppose
that your, friend placed his finger on
the disk at the bottom of the shaft.
He will, as there are three disks up
to the rim of the circle, most certainly
end his counting at the third disk
to the right of the shaft, the one
which has the emblem of the knife
attached, and as this signifies a
butchers trade you can predict that,
however unlikely it now appears, he
will certainly, when he grows up, be.
come a butcher.
The wheel must, of course, be ar
ranged as shown in the diagram when
the counting begins.
The list of trades represented by
the different disks are as follows:

Craters of the Moon.

Astronomers are discussing the the
ory that the moon is in its glacial epoch.
One telescope expert calls the ''cra-
ters" ice cups, and the streams along
their sides glacial weather. Another
insists that the signs of volcanic action
are unmistakable. All agree that most
of the moons surface is intensely
white. The dark regions are termed
seas, but there is no evidence that they
contain water. Some writer's believe
they are covered with the earliest forms
of vegetation. It remains for the twen-
tieth century to solve the mysteries of
the moon, the nineteenth having made:

pointed out the house. Bernard at
once exclaimed: "Have the honor of
addressing Gen. Washington" "Witb
asmilet that I have never seen equaled,"
continues the actor, ''he offered his
hand and replied: AN odd sort of in
PRODUCTION, Mr.. Bernard; but I am
pleased to find that you can play so
active part in private, and without a
prompter.'"
Perhaps no man in private life ever
submitted himself more often to the
tender mercies of the portrait painter
than Washington, and yet it has been
said that few portraits resemble him.
There was an expression on Washing
tons face,'' writes Brissot de Warville,
that no painter had succeeded in TAX
ing" In 1777 Washington wrote: II
am so hackneyed to the touches Of the
painters pencil that I am now alto
gether at their beck, and sit, like pa
tience on monument, whilst they are
delineating the lines of my face. It is
a proof of what habit and system can
effect. At first, was as impatient at
the request and as restive under the op-
Grafton as a colt is of the saddle. The
next time I submitted very reluctantly,
but with less founcing. Now, no dray
moves more readily to the mill than
do to the painters chair" Among the
most notable portraits Of Washington
are those by Peale, Wright, Ramage,
Savage, Trumbull, Wertmulier, Vallee,
Houdon and those by Stuart. The orig
inal Stuart pictures were copied many
times. There is one in the art insti-
tute' concerning the authenticity of
which there has been much discussion.
Prince de Broglie, who saw Washing
ton in 1882, wrote of him: His physi-
ognomy is mild and open. His accost is
cold, although polite. His pensive
gray eyes seem more attentive than
sparkling, but their expression is be-
nevolent, noble and self-possessed. In
his private conduct he preserves that
polite and attentive good breeding
which satisfies everybody and that dig
nified reserve which offends no one.
Modest even to humility, he does not
seem to estimate himself at his true
worth. He speaks but little in general,
and that in a subdued tone." ,~..>
The estimates which great men have
placed upon Washington's character
are almost unanimous in giving him
rank with the noblest of all ages.
