THE ONLY SAFE METHOD.
Is Uniform Faithfulness in All Mat
ters-The Importance of Unim-
pOrtant Things.

Least things in the world are TAX
ing their places amongst the mighty.
Stellar spaces in millions of miles
are revealed to us because we have
micrometers' which can measure ac-
curately the thousandth portion of an
inch; and the caterpillar's thread is
counted. with rifed cannon and smoke
less powder, among the modern i'm
plements of warfare, for out of it we
make the silk for the great and neces-
sary war balloons. And character is
made up, as a mosaic, out of the trivial
pieces which day by day we tit in
and cement fast by habit, precedent
and custom. 1t is as the old Word
says: Line upon line, precept upon
precept." Only we are learning that
the lines are finer and smaller and
closer together, and the precepts more
continual, and perhaps more common
place, than we had ever thought be-
fore. Take care, then, of the unim-
portant things, and the important
things will take care of themselves.

AN ENGLISH VIEW OF US.
What N London Paper Has to Say
About the Recent United
states Census,

Statistics are frequently merely dull!
and repellant hosts upon the magma
ton and leave vivid impression upon
the mind. No thoughtful person can
tail to realize something at least OF
all that is signifed by the census re-
turns of the United States. That
mighty nation has been numbered and
it is found that her population now
stands at 76,25O,OOO. In the short space
of ten wears there has been an increase
Of nearly 13,25O,OOO, which is equivalent
to almost 21 per cent. for the decade OF
more than per cent. per annum. When
we remember that 200 years ago the
population of the states was under
SO0,OOO-or rather more than the pres
ent population of Bradford-and that
100 wears ago it was but little over
100000, it will be seer with what
amazing rapidity the young giant
among nations has built up its
strength. The first census was taken
in 1890. From that year down to 1861
the increase per cent. per annum was
about $50.
From 1860 to 1870 it fell to 2.26: in
the next ten years it rose to 81; from
1880 to 1890 it dropped to 2O9' and now
as we have seen, it stands at FL. This
is a slight decrease. in ratio; but, after
all. the important fact is that there are
IL. 900. 900 more people owning allie
glance TO the American constitution
than there were ten years ago. And
the growth of population is the in
fallible test of national prosperity and
advancement, says the London Iele'
graph. No nation has ever yet risen to
greatness with a dwindling population,
and probably none ever will. Declin-
ing numbers have been the invariable
concomitant of national stagnation
and decadence. The growth OF the
power of Great Britain, Germany and
Russia bears witness to the truth OF
this sweeping generalization, and there
Is nothing which gives French pub
licists more serious grounds Tor dls-
uuietude as to the future of their coun-
try than the evidence of stagnatlon
shown in their census returns. Amer
leans, therefore, may be well content
with the progress they have made IN
the last decade. These figures afford
them ample reason for pride and Juolla-
ton. The only great power OF the
present day which can vie with them
in numbers is Russia. and in wealth. IN
energy, in adaptability, in education
and in that cunning industrial skill
which is the foundation of material
prosperity they far outstrip the SUBJ
iacts of the c7ar.

THE LITTLE GIRL OF LONG AGO.

l am sitting here to-day in reminiscent
way,
Living over all the dear departed years
Ere my locks had grown to gray, ere old
Time had made me pay
A toll Of disappointment, grief and tears.
I'm again a care-free boy, with an opulence
of joy,
And the conscious pride of being called
the beau
OF a dainty. winsome miss, who enthralled
me with kiss
A little girl who loved me long ago.
l can see the bingham dress that used to
mutely bless,
And | see the pink sunbonnet that she
wore,
While. as plain as then, ah, yes! can
trace the tangled tress
That her snowy brow adorned and rip
pied Ger.
And her eyes they thrill me yet, blue as
some meek violet
That grew within the wood we used to
know.
Nh. It's queer Time will not let me, in after
years, forget
4 little girl who loved me long ago.
Though I've children, tall and wee-one
I'm trotting on my knee
And l love them all as dearly as my life;
While I'm sure no one could be more a
helpmate unto me
Than their mother, whom m proud 10
call my wife
Dear, you're sweet" / say TO her' as
I'm sure, you ever were.
Bat to picture you girl enchants me SO,
That there's nothing can occur which VIII

The Bog of Prejudice.

It would make a large difference to
ourselves and to the world about us
if our actions were fairly based on
the sound knowledge that we have.
We should make fewer obstacles, give
fewer offenses, save time and labor,
and keep the world on better terms
with itself and with us. And now
some one asks: What do we act on,
in any case, except the knowledge
that we have? Too often we act on
our preiudices, our unreasonable bias.
Prejudice is the unsafest kind of a
bog to stand in. The feet sink into
it so slowly and quietly that one has
stuck fast before he knows it. Get
out, quick!-S. S. Times.
Witherby.-Blitherby had great
plan for furnishing his son. He got a
heavy whip, and every time the boy
was bad he was going to hold out his
hand and have the lad strike him, in
stead of furnishing the youngster in
the usual way.
SHtherby.-How did it work?
"Blitherby's hand is so sore that ne
can't spank the boy for whacking
him so hard."-Baltimore American.

IN PRISON Al IRKUTSK.
Rrief Account of a Visit to RussIa's
Famous Place of De-
tentiOn.

OF course. visited the great prison
of Irlutsk, and was most courteously
allowed to spend several hours there
and to examine it closely and converse
freely, through my own interpreter
with any of the prisoners. 1t is strag-
Cling mass of buildings, many of wood,
and all old and in need of repair.
These are surrounded by palisade of
great posts 20 feet high, with pointed
ends. I went into every part of the
prison that l could see, including the
hospital. the workshops, the laundry
and the kitchens, and visited every one
of the large rooms and almost every
cell. In all these ! saw but two things
TO find fault with-the practice of herd
ing together criminals of all ages, tried
and untried, and the long time-in some
cases amounting to two years-which
many of the prisoners spend there be-
fore their cases are finally judged.
writes Henry Norman, in Scribner's.
This latter evil is caused partly by the
great difficulty of collecting evidence
from many parts of Siberia, and chief
w because the central authorities do
not supply magistrates enough to
cope with the numbers of those ar
rested. An additional difficulty is the
variety of languages spoken by the
criminals themselves.
Three times during my visit was
the governor, who accompanied me
most of the time, obliged to send to
another part of the prison for
prisoner to interpret request made
to him as we passed. The prison is
supposed to hold only 700 criminals,
but it contained 1924 men on the
day of my visit. 12 women and 10 chill
dren accompanying their mothers. Of
these no fewer than 621 were awaiting
trial, 1873 were condemned for definite
periods not exceeding three years,
which they will serve in this prison,
and 2S6 were "in transit" mostly
either to the great convict prison Of
Alexandrofsk. 46 miles from Irkutsk,
or to the island of Sakhalin. The
eonvicts condemned to long periods
n to Sakhalin had half the head

characters were in chains. The ma

or using forged passports or for hav-

fiddle. The man who made it worked
wiz a caseknife smuggied away from
mess. earned his wood by volunteer
help to the commisSary. and made
his glue by boiling bones with bit
of sheepskin thrown in. He was six
months at work before he was ready
for the strings. Though he had no
pattern other than the memory Of
his beloved instrument at home he
kept the right proportions and
turned out a recognizable fiddle.
When he had bought strings of the

from the tails of commissariat horses

REGARDING REVENGE.
The Teaching of Christ Much Higher
and NObIer Than That of
COnfucius.

The Divine doctrine of revenge is
not a popular doctrine. Unsanctlfied
human nature recOils from it, We
need much grace to receive tive
need much more grace to practice 1t.
It is a doctrine that can only be
learned in the school of Christ, and
those who act in conformity with II
must have the mind of Christ. So in
teligent heather as the present CHI
nese minister to this country seems
to have no true conception of the
Christian doctrine of revenge. His
highest ethical standard is reel
procity." This is the doctrine OF his
own Confucius. Treat kindness with
kindness, and injury with justice
which means, recompense good Tor
good, and evil for evil. When Confu-
cius was asked: rs there one word
which may serve as a rule for ones
whole life?" he answered.: us not
reciprocity such a word? What you
do not wish done to yourself, do not
unto OlUGIS. Lie hOlhtu ANhAN 10 NV
negative, but positive, and a Christian
can see that there is vast difference
between the doing and the not doing
of favor. To render "evil for evil
is heather revenge; to Overcome evil
with good" is Christian revenge.
Love your enemies, bless them that
curse YOU. do good to them that hate
you, and pray for them which de-
,pitefully use you and prosecute you
This is a summary of our Lords
teaching on the subject of Christian
revenge. And the doctrine laid down
by the Apostle Paul, in his epistle to
the Romans (12:19-2D, is in fullest
harmony with that of the Master
The doctrine of Christian revenge
is exceedingly broad. 1t covers a
good deal of ground. It's spirit is plain
enough, and it is with its spirit, rath-
err than its letter, that we are chiefly
concerned.
What is our attitude toward our
personal foes, or the foes of our coun-
try, or the foes of our faith? Would
we like to be their judge, and jury.
and executioner? That would be to
assume the prerogative of God. Are
we gentle, kind, forbearing and ready
to forgive? Or are we naughty, head
strong, unyielding, vindictiye and re-
vengeful? Do we say in our hearts:
Revenge is sweet" and are we anx-
ious to taste it? If so, we are utter
strangers to the mind of Christ. To
give "tit for tat" to enforce to the
letter the lex talionis, to show NAL
ice instead of mercy; wrath instead
of love, is satanic; it is the very spirit
of the evil one, and those under its
control are in utter antagOnism to the
spirit of Christ. 1t is human to err.
1t is Godlike to forgive; and he who
is destitute of a forgiving spirit, and
who nurses his wrath to keep it
warm" has only to go to the mirror
and look at himself in order to see
one who is as un-Christlike as posi-
ble.-N. Y. Observer.

WARTIME ORNAMENTS.
nutternut Breastpins Made by the
Soldiers and Worn by Women
Sympathizers.

Throughout the latter half of the
civil war several hundred thousand
women in the north and south wore
brooches which were in way sig
nificant of their sentiments. How or
why is immaterial, but in the north
ern states the butternut was accept
ed as a symbol of democracy, butter
nut colored jeans as the proper uni
form of the rural democratic voter
and a butternut breastpin as the hall
mark of that voters sweetheart.
Although it was handmade and
homemade, the butternut breastpin
was not so bad artistically. In the
rough it was a section, perhaps an
eighth of an inch deep, sawed from
the middle of butternut, and show
ing the four heart-shaped interstices
for the lobes of the kernel, as well
as the fine, jagged indentations of the
outer shell. Saving it out was a diff

saving the kernel was picked out,

FRANKS OF A PRINCE.
yyIIbeImfna,s FIXTURE Husband Was
a Lively YOungSter Few
Years Ago.

Perhaps Prince Henry of Mecklen-
burg Schwerin, the fiance CT QueenNrl-
helmina, is a sober, industrious royalty
now, but according to this story he was
a pretty lively fellow few years ago.
says the ST. Louis Republic. Once a
governess of some cousins of his, scions
of the ducal house of Meckienburg-
Strelitz, lived in a grand, solitary castle
planted in the middle of a boundless
plain of sand. like a tent in the desert.
Henry Vladimir Won Meckienburg
Schwerin, who was there on visit to
his cousins, had taken violent dislike
to the governess. who objected to his
rather free-and-easy manners with
her noble pupils. One Sunday morning
the children started with her in car
riage TO drive to the little church few
miles away from the castle. Nine De
x, the governess. was on the front
seat with the two countesses, and
Duke Henry Vladimir had installed
himself on the back seat. More than
once she felt as if something queer was
going on behind her, but when she
looked around the boy was stiff and
solemn, looking the other way.
At last the party reached the church.
in front of which little crowd OF no.
BILE neighbors and peasants had assem-
bled. Henry Vladimir jumped out
first and CALAMITY offered his hand to
the governess. She thought this un-
wonted politeness rather strange, but
on jumping out her skirt and one OF
two petticoats fell at her feet, where
they softly arranged themselves in a
sort of balloon, from which she
emerged a little more dressed than
Venus Rising from the Sea-" but not
much. On the morrow the young Meek
lenburg-S chwerin was sent home with
the brand of shame upon him.
