into the compact, and they were to
serve for a term of six years. It was
hoped in this way that peace might be
conserved and that the frequent wars
which arise from misunderstanding
might be averted. Fifteen Of the
principal nations have appointed del
egates, some so in all, and they will
have secretary and some sort of an
organization. The United States will
be represented by Chief Justice Fuller,
Ex-President Harrison, Judge Gray
and Attorney General Griggs. Lord
Pauncefote and Prof Westlake, who is
an authority on international law, are
among the affinities of Great Britain.
While this court of arbitration will
not be able to do much in the existing
wars, it is to be hoped that sentiment
against war will be created which will
lead to the time when men shall beat
their swords into plowshares and their
spears into pruning hooks.'' 1t does
seem rather silly for men to be killing
one another over questions of territory
or boundary lines.
NEW YORK New York is evidently
MORALS. a bad town to live in
under the police direction of William
S. Devery. Since he assumed charge
of the police force in May, 1898, there
have been PIP murders, LOO assaults
in the streets, 1850 burglaries and
robberies and no end Of smaller vii
lainy, and some crimes that are not re-
corded. In one precinct alone there
have been % highway robberies since
January l. And yet Murphy appoints
this man as his chief Of staff when he
gets into the office. Evidently the
rogues are running New York and
every mans house needs to be an ar
senal for his own protection.

plenty and cheap this year.
TARIFF WAR. Secretary Gage Of
the treasury department has imposed
large duty on sugar imported from
Russia. That country has retaliated
by placing a SO per cent duty on all
American steel and tariff war is
likely to result. It is interesting to
notice in this connection that the
Homestead is trying to arouse our in

country, saying that the farmers of our
own country ought to raise sugar
enough to supply the land. Through

Text, Psalm IS, 7: (which stilleth the noise
OF the SEAS the noise of their waves and the
tumult OF the people,"
Some things in the world Of nature
are perfectly still. We speak of the
stiffness of the night. You go out on
clear winters night and look up into
the great silent dome eff the sky. The
stars blink and shine; and as you gaze
into the unmeasured spaces, some
great questionings arise within your
soul: "Who made you, o We stars?
Tell me where he dwelleth. Who gave
you your wonderous light? Who APP
pointed your metes and bounds? For
what purpose do you shine? What
other worlds do you brighten?" The
stars give no answer; they utter no
sound.
"What though in solemn silence, all
Move round the dark terrestrial ball
What though no real voice nor sound
Amid their radiant orbs be found
In reasons ear they all rejoice
And utter forth glorious voice,
Forever singing as they shine
The hand that made us is divine"
TO reasons ear the stars speak, to
the heart of love the night is not still;
but to the thOughtless, foolish world
ling the inky blackness of a dark night
is d fit symbol of the pail of silence
and mystery the deep shadows cast
over him. We speak of the stiffness
of the night; we speak of the stiffness
of the woods.
"There lisa pleasure in the painless woods;
There Is a rapture on the lonely shore;
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in it's roar;
love not man the less, but Nature more"
There is pleasure in the painless
woods just because the woOdSare path
less. Have you never stolen off into
the quiet Of the forest and seated
yourself on some fallen log and long
remained there, just to listen to the
stiffness? The quivering Of the leaves
blown by some stray zephyr, the run
ming of some small animal over the
dry sticks and gathered droppings of
the boughs, the leaping of a squirrel
from limb to limb above you, -all these
noises startled you: and yet you were
gladly startled because you had come
out there for that profound quiet to
which the faintest whisper would
make startling contrast. Oh, how
different it was from the city! There
were no voices around you; and yet it
was a splendid chance to look within

The OUTLOOK.

KING England has once more
EDWARD VII. had the privilege of see
ing Parliament opened with all the
pomp and ceremony and splendor of
royalty which BELTS a King. On the
18th of February the new king per-
formed the ceremony and it was done
with all the old time display Of royalty.
In 1861 Queen Victoria gave her last
great pageant of this sort and King
Edwards ceremony was more brilliant
than that of the past. He and the
queen rode in gorgeous state coach,
there were herald and equerries and
pomp and show galore. Before the
king made his speech he had to take
what IS called the mo popery' oath,
in which he disowned belief in tran
substantiation, the alteration of the
Virgin, and other doctrines Of the
Romish church. The Kings speech
is drawn up by the prime minister and
dealt in the affairs of the realm, such
as the death of the Queen, the various
wars and how the empire is progress
ing. A great deal of criticism has
been made at the servile and abject
prayer which has been issued to be
used in the Established church in
praying for the king. This age does
not take kindly to abject humiliation,
even before kings, for the idea has got
abroad that kings are not much better
than common men and sometimes are
worse.

water.
As it passed over the brink it rode at
an angle of about forty-five degrees ON
the outer surface of the deluge, and
descended as gracefully as a barrel can
descend to the white, foaming waters
15S feet below.
True to the woman's calculations, the
anvil fastened to the bottom of the bar
rel kept it foot downward, and so it
landed. Had it turned over and landed
on its head. Mrs. Taylor's head must
have been crushed in and her neck
broken.
The ride through the rapids occupied
eighteen minutes. 1t was 4:23 O'Clock
when the barrel took its leap. 1t could
not be seen as it struck the water be-
low, because of the spray, but in less
than half minute after it passed over
the brink it was seen ON the surface of
the scum-covered water below the
falls.
1t was carried swiftly down to the
green water beyond the scum, when
half way to the Maid of the Mist land
it was caught in what is known as the
Maid of the Mist eddy and held there
until 1t floated so close to the shore
that it was reached by means of
pole and hook and drawn in upon the
rocks at 4:40 o'clock. or seventeen min
utes after it shot the cataract. Ten
minutes later the woman was lifted
from the barrel. and half an hour later
she lay ON cot mt her boarding place
in Niagara Falls. ON the American side.
She thanked God she was alive,
thanked all who had helped her in any
way, said she would never do it again,
but that she was not sorry she had
done it "if it would help her finan-
cially."

The percentage of foreigners in va
rious states is the subject of frequent
comment. and often the cause of
gloomy forebodings in regard to the
future of the country. 1t is rather
surprising to find that among the very
large alien population of New York
and New Jersey the ratio of illiteracy
is comparatively small In both states
the plumber of foreign-born but
naturaiized citizens who cannot read
and write is less than seven per cent.
Even among those who have taken
out only their first papers"-and this
they can do as soon as they land in
the United States-the number of IL
literates is only about twelve per cent.
The ability to read and write is no
guarantee that man will be a good
citizen, but it is at least a presump-
ton that he will be a better one than
the man who cannot.
