The Track Foreman.
The track foreman actually accounts
for a greater proportion of the rail
roads expenditures than any other en-
ployee, because the greatest cost of
railroading is in the roadbed, and its
equipment and the expense Of main
tanning it. The track foreman is in
fact an important employee, but about

At his best man longs to worship some
power above him, and it is this capacity
for worship which is the measure Of
mans self culture and the test of his
character. 1t is the tOuchstone by which
to test the ideal nature of the individual
and the trend Of whole civilization.
A man may be a source of benefcence,
he may be a reservoir Of practical social
effort, he may through the power which
he possesses, and therefore the influence
which he Yields, make himself the object
of universal acclaim. And yet there is
something inherently distorted in his
character If he feels not by some impulse
of humility the desire to worship the
Maker whose creation he is. For other
wise the deepest fact in his experience is
not a sense of responsibility to a higher
authority, but rather a complacent self
reliance and self sufIiciency.
In every act Of worship, however crude
and mistaken, there was some liberating
influence through which man was LED
away from his egOism and experienced
the restraint to his power and the quick
ening inspiration to his stirring virtue
And today it is the same ability to ae
knowledge the existence of an Infinite
Perfect, beside whom our brightest vir-
tues pale and to whom we stretch on
our hands In reverence and worship
that is the salt that protects the healtl
of the soul and gives to life an unfailing
because a never completely realized, pur
pose.-Rev. DR.. Schulman in IMMORAL
Monthly.

The death was Unexpectedly sudden
as at p. m. her physicians had re-
ported no change in her condition. She
was fully conscious during the last
hours, and all her children, with the
exception of Prince Henry, who is al
Cadtz, were assembled in the sick room
OF her death the Norddentsche ALLIE
gemeine Zeitung in a splendid eulogy
says: THE most brilliant earthly for.
tune and the most profound human
suffering were alike not known to her
In the greatness Of soul with which
she bore an incurable malady she
showed herself a true companion OF
the German hero who, by his sufferings
and his deeds, will ever remain dea1
to the hearts Of our people. By his
side she now sleeps, and her name will
endure among the names of the great
prtncesses who have adorned the

BOTTOMS LAST YEAR.
The Way He Spent 1t Preparing For
His Death

BILLY Bolton, the Lansingburg brew
er, was a very rich man and one with
host Of friends" said an up state man
to the New York sun. His brewery
in Lansingburg was a profitable con
Germ, and he practically owned about
all the saloons in that town.
zone day after a consultation his Dhy-
sicians told him that he had Brighfs
disease and that he surely would not
live more than "A year. Billy took their
word for it and made up his mind to
make the fur fly while life was left.
He had never travelled much, and so he
decided to go around the world.
''He took with him a congenial friend
and plenty of money, and away they
went. They left a trail Of fire and ash
es through all the capitals Of Europe
and the queer and strange places Of
Asia and Africa. After nine months
they came back, and Bolton brought
with him the most marvellous collection
Of souvenirs and presents that any
man not a professional collector ever
brought into this country. The duties
amounted to $1,000.
Arrived in Lansingburg, Billy hired
the town hall, sent his packing boxes
filled with these oriental and European
treasures up to the hall and had them
all taken out and put on exhibition as
though for church fair. Upon each
article he marked the name of some
friend whom he wished to remember
with a gift. There were hundreds In
this category, but Billy had presents
for them all.
"On the day appointed for the pres
entation he invited his army of friends
to the town hall. To each he turned
over the present selected for him, and
amid the cheers of his grateful and adj
miring fellow townsmen the hall was
stripped of its beautiful things.
when the last present had been
placed in the hands of its recipient.
Billy went back to his home and Law
down to die. Within the year his phv.
slcians' prophecy came true, and the
town gave him the finest funeral that
any man ever had"

The Most Magnificent Temple.
Have you read Of the Tai Mahal, in In
dia, in some respects the most majestic
building on earth? Twenty thousand
men were 20 years in building it. 1t cost
about $16,000,000. The walls are of
marble inlaid with carnelian from Bag
dad and turquoise from Tibet and jasper
from the Punjab and amethyst from
Persia and all manner of precious stones.
A traveller said that it seemed to him like
the shining of the enchanted castle Of
FURNISHED silver. The walls are 245 feet
high, and from the top of these springs
a dome 30 more feet high, that dome con-
tanning the most wonderful echo the
world has ever known, so that ever and
anon travellers standing below with flutes
and drums and harps are testing that
echo, and the sounds from below strike
up, and then come down, as it were, the
voices of angels all around about the
building. There is around it a garden OF
tamarind and banyan and palm and all
the floral glories of the ransacked earth.
But that is only a tomb Of a dead en-
press, and it is tame compared with the
grandeurs which God has builded for
your living and immortal spirit.
Oh, home Of the blessed! Founda-
tons of gOldl Arches Of victory! Cap
stones of praise! And a dome in which
there are echoing and re-echoing the hal
leluiahs of the ages! And around about
that mansion is a garden, the garden of
God, and all the springing fountains are
the bottled tears of the church in the
wilderness and all the crimson of the
flowers is the deep hue that was caught
up from the carnage of earthly martyr
dOms and the fragrance is the prayer OF
all the saints and the aroma puts into
utter forgetfulness the cassia and the
spikenard and the frankincense and the
world renowned spices which Queen Bal.
kis of Abyssinia flung at the feet of King
Solomon.
When shall these eyes thy heaven built walls
And pearly gates behold
Thy bulwarks, with salvation strong,
And streets Of shining gold7
Through obduracy on our part and
through the rejection of that Christ who
makes heaven possible l wonder if any
of us will miss that spectacle? The
queen of the south will rise up in judg
ment against this generation and con
denim it because she came from the ut
termOst parts of the earth to hear the
wisdom of Solomon, and, behold, a great
err than Solomon is here!
May God grant that through your OWL
practical experience you may find that
religions ways are ways Of pleasant
ness and that all her paths are paths Of
peace-that it is perfume now and per
fume forever. And there was an abun
/ dance of spice; neither was there any
such spice as the queen of Sheba gave t.
