Professor Huxley on the Bible.
ID. Nnrney.

Professor Huxley's attitude toward the Bible in his
last years is probably generally known and Lord
Avebury Sir John Lubbock supplied the interesting
information the other day in an address before the
Anthropologcal Institute in London According 70
Lord Avebury, who to have possessed himself
of the Herd scribta of Professor Huxleys uterance,
this is what Mr. Huxley said in an address before the
London School Board:
Il have been seriously perplexed to know by what
practical measures the religious feeling which is the
essential basis of conduct be kept up, in the
present utterly chaotic state of opinion these mat
tiers, without the of the Bible Take the Bible
as whole; make the severest deductions which fair
criticism dictate for shortcomings and positive
errors; eliminate, a sensible lay teacher would 90
if left to himself all that is desirable for chill
dren to occupy themselves with and there still re-
mains in this old literature vast resduum of moral
beauty and grandeur. And then consider the great
historical fact that for three centuries this book has
been into the life of all that is best and nobes
in English history; that, it has become the national
epic of Britain and is familiar noble and simple
from John o Groats House to Lands End as Dante
and TdSSO to Italians; that it is written in
the noblest and purest English, and abounds in
qusite beauties of mere literary FORM and, finally,
that it forbids the verest hind who left his viii
age to be ignorant of the existence of other countries
and other civilizations and of great past stretching
back to the turherest limits of the oldest nations in
the world By the study of what other book could
children be so much humanized and made to feel
that each figure in that vast historical procession fills,
like themselves, but momentary space in the inter
val between two eternities and earns the blessings
or the curses of all time according to its effort to
do good and hate evil, they also are earning
their payment for their work."
Of the many good and true things said of the Bible
by the great of the past this tribute the sacred
Word paid by the great professor, who wrote him
self ever agnosc-in fact, he invented the word
will be treasured by the lovers of the Scriptures and
reckoned among the most beautiful tributes; and it
is to be read and reread and quoted for the in
spiraton of mankind down the centuries

Sweet Messengers.

Flowers best express our loving thoughts;
They all are Gods "Forget-me- nots''
When kindly message we would send
Unto dear and absent friend
They bear our love, our fond desire
With sweetest breath, and then expire:
Nor linger in tedious stay,
Like messengers we wish away.

Our Foreign Relations.

The key to our foreign relations
rests primarily in the hands of the
President. or. perhaps. better. of his
secretary Of state: but il has been a
long time since either the President or
his leading cabinet minister has
thought fit to make an address on the
foreign affairs of our government.
which could he described as suggestive
or informing. The regular messages
which the President sends to Congress
generally contain somewhat lengthy
statements on foreign affairs. but these
are ordinarily mere platitudes. which
ere little read, because they carry with
them little that is of value. The pun
lie has slight information. and hence.
in this country. there is no organized
or well defined public opinion bearing
upon any foreign probiem.-Boston
Herald.
We fear that our contemporary has
failed to read carefully the messages
of the last three Presidents. in all of
which it will find clear. straight-for-
| ward and comprehensive reviews Of
the precise status of foreign affairs ex-
lSliUS dt tie tlH1e tueSe PAPERS were
writer. There is no country in the
world where the powers that be" so
completely take the masses of the pco-
pie into their confidence in such mat
ters as in our own. Not only do the
Presidents review our foreign rela-
tions at length and with considerable
fullness of detail, in their official
messages. but the state department
has been ever ready to give all in
formation to the public through the
medium of the press that was con-
sistcnt with the proper safe guarding
of national interests. We quite agree
with the Herald that IF there is
anywhere a field which a constructive.
guiding statesman should cultivate.
it is ti,at cf building up in the minds
of the American people a proper re-
gard for their own interests in their
relations with the other nations of the
wo, ID.
Right here. in this very readiness to
take the public fully into its confidence
has been. it seems to us. one Of the
strongest features of President Nc

No Decrease IN Exports.

The fact that the exports from the
United States for the past two months
have shown n decrease over the corre-
spending months in 1900 has been
eagerly seized upon i'm some quarters
as an indication that permanent
reaction Is coming about which means
a cetback to our foreign trade which
has tecn enjoying such unprecedented
pro; pcrity in the past few years. The
total Of our exports for March was
$l24. .:cO. COO against $134. 100, ,OcO in 1900,
decrease of over 100000. In Febru-
ary they showed decrease of over
Sc. .0CO.0 600. Our imports also have ex-
hibted a steady decline. not only for the
past two, but for the last eight
months. amounting to over 100000 900.
While the larger drop in imports
leaves Il favorable trade balance, the
change in the current Of our intcrna-
ticnal trade movement is important.
though it does not warrant any pessi-
mistic forebodings. Henry Clews. the
great financial authority. assumes that
the condition is only temporary and
explains the probability that high
prices here and business reaction
abroad have brought about this loss
in exports. The diminution in inn
ports can only be attributed to our
having an ample supply of the arti
cles we usually import. or that we are
more and more producing them for
ourselves.
Mr.. CIews in his weekly letter goes
on to show that sihce we are SO ac-
customed to measure our foreign trade
by values only. it is desirable to oc-
,asionally take account Of quantities.
Much of the increase in exports has
unquestionably been due to high prices.
especially in the case of cotton. En-
port prices. however. have latterly
been tending downward. and there is
a likelihood of this movement continu-
ing. which may further stimulate the
volume of exports. He gives the fol-
lowing figures. In the last eight
months we have shipped Il, 800 600 BUSH
els less corn than in the same time
last year. 100000 bushels more wheat,
about the same quantity of flour. 304.-
600 bales more cotton, about one-half
the quantity of cotton goods. an in
crease of III. 500. 900 pounds of iron and
steel products. an increase of $1,000
tons of steel rails. decrease of $4,000
pounds in provisions, a decrease of
l.. 600 900 pounds of copper. decrease
of $4,000. 600 pounds of tobacco. and in
,rcases of 612, 600 tons of coal. 10000 900
pounds of zinc and 10000. 900 pounds Of
wood pulp. These figures show much
irrcgularity. but as the total foreign
tonnage increased $4,000 tons during
the eight months reviewed ii is safe
to assume there has been no general
or important falling off in our export
trade The United States is still on
the top wave of prosperity, while
Great Britain and Germany. two of
our best customers. are certainly eX-
periencing more or less reaction; con
ditions are not ideally favorable for
the stimulus of exports.
