father breaches to one of the most fash

One day last week Mildred ran over to
the minister's house, and, finding Ethel,
asked if her father was at home.
"Well, ! want to see him right away"
the little girl said, when she learned that
the reverend gentleman was busy.
What's the trouble?" asked EthePs
mother. who overheard the two children
talking.

After further appeals and additional

A REAL THING.

The general conference of the United
Brethren Church, in session the other
day at Frederick. Md. decided to drop
the word hell" from the apostles creed
and substitute therefor the word "hades."
Have we advanced to that point in civili-
cation and religious perfection at which
We can afford to dispense with help" It
is hot and bristling word. 1t has the
virility of live wire. and the incisive-
ness of a sharp blade. 1t means some
thing when 1t stands in sentence, and
there is no installing what that meaning
is. "Hades,'' on the other hand, is a sort
OF concession to the refinement of ety.
mology and also to Weakened piety 1t
may be rolled Familiarity upon the tongue.
while 'helr' has something of the quail
ties of the chestnut burr. Nobody could
ever be made afraid of "hades," while
hell" has stricken terror to millions of
souls. II may be that "hades" is a nearer
correct translation of the ancient writ
ers, but they no doubt meant help and
would have said it If English had been
the language of their day. ''helr' is ro-
bust, "hades" is weak: help is vitrolic.
"hades" is suggestive of pink tea mild
ness. He'll is not euphonious. but It rep
resents an inharmonious place Nothing
about 1t is pleasant or nilk-and- watery.
1t Is the real thing. Nor can it be dis
pensed with. The churches and the world
need 1t in their business, until human
nature shall have been reclaimed.

An Elephant. Cunning.

This is good story of an elephants in

animal in question was a mere baby when
ne was sent 10y an Indian prince TO Eng
land as a present for Queen Victoria.
He was shipped as a deck passenger by
one of the Indian mail steamers from
Bombay. and as ne had attained but the
hight of a well grown calf and was al
ways most docile and tractable he was
permitted to have the run OF the decks
TOR an hour or two every morning when
the state OF the weather permitted. By
the sailors he was dubbed the "bos'n's
mate owing to the penchaut he had for
carefully picking up every loose coil of
rope that he coull ind and then throwing
it over the side, being, as Jack said, "as
bad as naval lieutenant for keeping the
decks tidy"

formed was that of the ships baker

marched down, and with several vigorous

MIR. FLAGLER OF FLORIDA.

The people OF Florida are about to be
placed under further obligations to their
distinguished fellow citizen, Mr. Henry
NJ. Flagler. Heretofore he has been en-
gagged IN building hotels and railroads
and establishing steamship lines to carry
people into the state ia winter; now he
proposes to keep people in Florida in
summer by providing for their health
and pleasure a magnificent summer
hotel at Pablo Beach. near Jackson
VILE. Since Mr.. Flagler is at the head
OF this enterprise 1t goes without say
ing that the Pablo Beach hotel will be
complete In every detail, and that its
surroundings will be all that liberal ex-
penditures and good taste can make
them.
It is a question IL Mr.. Flagler is not
doing more real good with his wealth
than any of the many millionaires of
this country who attract a vastly great
er amount of public attention. He is
building up a state, or rather pretty
nearly the whole of one side of it. From
Jacksonville to Biscayne Bay the results
of his good work are to be seen. His
railroad, nearly 400 miles in length, con-
Meeting at the terminus with a steam
ship line to the West Indies, is literally
dotted with beauty spots and splendid
hotels created by Mr.. Flagler. The
ancient city Of St Augustine was trans
formed by him, as though by the touch
of a wizards hand, from a fishing viii
lage to a fair and attractive city in
which art and nature combine to charm.
At Palm Beach Mr.. Flagler has con-
midst of which he has set two magnif-
cent hotels; one on the quiet waters of
Lake Worth and the other facing the
broad Atlantic, the waters of which al
most lap its foundations.
Thousands of acres of pine apple plan
tations, interspersed with orange groves,
line the route of the Florida East Coast
Railway as it winds it's way along ocean,
lake and river fronts; and at the south
ern end of the road is Miami. the south
ernmost commercial port on the main
land of the United States.
The work which Mr.. Flagler has done,
and is still prosecuting, in Florida re-
quired millions of money, and the right
to spend it freely and in accordance
with the ideas and tastes of one man.
Mr.. Flagler had the money. the right
to spend 1t as he pleased, and the
genius to spend it well. No corporation
could or would have done what Mr..
Flagler has for the simple reason that
none would have taken the risk of poor
investments that he assumed. In these
days when there is a good deal of specu-
lation as to what millionaires should do
with their wealth, it might be well for
those interested to see what Mr.. Flagler
has done and is doing with his money.
He is a good example of how to do
practical good with wealth; how to help
people help themselves, by providing
work and developing the country for the
workers

A child may know more than a nhi1oso-
pher about some things, says an ex-
change. A little girl entered the study OF
a celebrated historian and asked him fo-
a coal of fire.
But you haven't brought a shovel"
he said.
Il don't need any," was the reply.
And then, very much to his astonish-
ment, she filled her hand with ashes and
put the live coal on top. No doubt tina

conductor of heat, but he had never seen
the fact verified in such a practical man

A GEORGIA-FLoRIDA FAIR.

The burning of Jacksonville has some
what upset plans for the Florida State
Fair. Jacksonville had gone 90 work in
earnest, and there was every assurance
that she would give Florida a fair to be
proud of. But the fire has given the
people of the stricken city something else
than fairs to think of. They now have
no money to put into the enterprise. as
much as they would like to subscribe LID
orally for the fame of the state. Their
energies and their money must be de-
voted to building up their waste places
and resuming the interrupted business.
In this emergency. what is to be done
in the matter of the Florida State Fairr
There are dozen municipalities in the
state, of course, that could arrange and
hold first rate exposition of the kind,
If given time in which to work the mat
ter up. But none probably is prepared
to take up the project just where 1t was

carry 1t on to success at the scheduled
time. Nor IS II desirable to abandon the
fair scheme for this year, as has been

SCOTTISH PRIDE AND CARNEGTE's
MILLIONS.

Several days ago we took occasion to
say that Bir. Carnegic's pleasure in ae-
cumuating his vast fortune was far
| greater than his pleasure in distributing
/ it is likely to be- As far as we are in
| formed not single one Of the English
! or Scottish papers or periodicals has ex-
! pressed hearty appreciation and unqual-
flied approval OF Mr. Carnegie's act in
endewing the four great universities of
Scotland with a sum sufficient to enable
them to make tuition free.
The Review Of the Week adopts a
sneering tone in commenting upon the
gift. and says it hopes Scottish pride will
rise up against the invasion of the al
mighty dollar. 1t objects to the sons of
the oldest families Of Scotland getting an
education at the expense of IAN Amer
lean iron monger" 1t thinks that If the
Carnegie gift is accepted some Chicago
pork packer will want to buy up oxford
and Cambridge ana dictate the studies to
be taught in those universities, or Boss
Croker will endeavor to get control of
the London University with the view of
Introducing Tammany principles into the
politics of the British metropolis.
It may be that the four universities
win accept Mr.. Carnegte's gift. but it is
plain from what is appearing in the pub
lie prints of England and Scotland that
the friends of those universities are not
overjoyed at the munifcence of the
American millionaire.
TIE Scottish universities are in very
prosperous condition and have been for
many years. The fees for the support of
the professors haYe been paid freely, and
the fact that 1t cost something to get a
university education seemed to make such
an education all the mere desirable. AL
though the population of Scotland is
very much smaller than that of England
the attendance at the Scottish universe
ties has. at times. been larger than that
a the great English universities.
The Scottish universities have not
complained of a lack of means 10 meet
the demands of their professors No doubt
they would like to have the means for
increasing facilities for teaching-for new
buildings and for scientific experiments
but they have not been asking for en-
dowments so as to relieve students from
the payment of tuition fees. Probably
they feel that II tuition were made free
there would be a falling Off in the num-
Der Of students-that they would get the
dry rot. as it were. and would gradually
fail into decay.
No doubt Mr.. Carnegie's intentions are
good. though it may be that in making
his gift he adopted the plan that promls-
ed to keep alive his memory longest Now.
however finding that his plan is not well
received, he may so change it as to leave
1t to the universities themselves as to
how the money shall be spent. No doubt
there would be no criticism of his gift
If he were to adopt that course. If he
does not want to do that. let him distrib-
ute his money in this country where he
accumulated 1t. Scotland has no claim
on him or his fortune, and apparently
doesn't care very much for either.
