A uunt.man,. cr,~.

More than touch OF old world ro-
nance was displayed at the funeral
Hs other dsy Of PriArs AJsost OF SACK
scn-Altenburg. After the service at
the church of Serrahu the coffin was
placed on Il hearse, and the procession
went slowly toward the forest, where.
In accordance with the last wishes of
the prince, Il SO called huntsman's
grave had been dug under an old beech
tree. When the mourners were all as
sembled, the lid was taken from the
coffin, and the body, wrapped in n
White satin shroud covered with fir
twigs, was taken out and placed i'm
the grave, which was four yards deep
and lined with green boughs. Then
the prayers for the dead were said. the
grave was Elled with earth, and q
simple white wooden cross was plant
ed on the mound as the only sign of
the spot where the forest lovers dust
mad been given back to the dust

THE FACE OF CHRIST.
Portraits OF the saviour In Pictures
of the Inst supper.


Among the earlier frescoes of the
catacombs we find groups of our Lord
and the apostles. We know for whom
the figures are intended, because they
represent thirteen men seated at n ia
bic, one of them in the midst, as ut the
Last Supper
But the curious thing is this: Ten of
the thirteen faces are all alike. They
are dummy faces of a common Roman
type, differentiated neither by beard
nor arrangement OF the hair nor by
the shape Of the features nor by ex-
preston. They are not portraits, un-
less, indeed, ten OF the apostles were
cast in the same mold, but the three
central figures are evidently portraits.
The one in the midst is Christ. as we
know his face today. The one on the
right shows the curly head of Peter.
the one on the left the beardless face
of John. Now, it will be remembered
that these two men, Peter and John.
were evangelists in Rome, had
preached i'm the catacombs, where this
fresco was painted, and were well
known to the converts there; but, so
far as we can tell, the ten were un-
known.
1t is obvious, therefore, that these
Christians, accustomed as they were to
portraiture, adopted it as far as was
practicable and resorted to conven-
tional representations only where they
could give their artists no authentic
model or record of the likeness. The
theory, therefore. that the likeness of
Christ is only the residuum of the
work of incapable artists, the last re-
naming of series of dummies dis
tinSuishable from the others only be-
cause it remained dead while they
came to life, is absolutely untenable.
The head of Michael Angelo is not n
creation OF his own or of his age, nor
did it grow through the dark ages. 1t
Is transcript of a likeness carefully
handed down from the first or second
century. The great painters of the
modern schools from Titan and Raph-
aei and Correggio to Bonnat, Won
Uhde and Holman Hunt did not take
up the debasements of the dark ages.
but swept them clean away, going
straight back to the frescoes of the
catacombs, the face cloths of the mar
tyrs and the glass pater;e of the COM
munion table before it became an al
-ScottiSh-American.

Systematic story TeIIi,,

There is n science in acquiring n
fund of anecdotes for lectures and aft
or dinner speeches which few persons
take the trouble to think about" said
an intimate friend OF Chauncey NJ. De-
pew, the prince of after dinner speak
ers, to a Philadelphia Times reporter.
AN orator of national reputation does
not dare TO repeat his stories and an
ecdotes too often. He must always
have large assortment on hand ap-
plicable to every occasion. The method
or Mr.. Depew in surrounding this diff
hculty is thorough and original one.
He has clerk who files away all of
the best stories which the famous ora
tor has been using for the last quarter
or century. Mr.. Depew himself.
with his observant eyes and worldwide
circle of acquaintance, is constantly
adding to this fund. Each of these
stories is classified and then indexed,
so as to be accessible at any time and
Tor any occasion. Whenever Mr.. De-
pew uses one of these stories the time
and place are noted to save himself the
embarrassment OF repeating the same
story TO the same audience"

Your Duty 20 the Church.

hour Duty To the Church.
But there is one answer yet to the
question OF my text. This answer
comes from many troubled heart.
You say to me: Mr.. Talmage, / do not
despise the church except by my ac-
tons In n public way. The reason i
do not join the church is because
have so many home duties that / can
not do my share in church work, if l
should join. In n few years / EXPECT
10 take my place as member at the
church altar" Now, my friend, want
you to realize this great truth: God
never ordained that one duty should
conflict with other duties. He never
wants mother to leave the bedside of
her sick child in order to attend q mis-
sionary meeting. He never compeIs n
man TO do for the church more than
he can conscientiously do. But Christ
docs demand this: He does demand
mat you profess and confess his love
before men. And you cannot do that
In better way than at the church al
tar. Then let the most Imminent
Christian duty decide what you ought
to do thereafter.
And l would especially plead with
you 10 confess Christ in the church be-
fore men because, as you have others
depending upon you, your present ac-
tons will probably decide how your
loved ones will act and feed toUnxA the
church of Christ's establishment. This
TACT was demonstrated some wears ago
IL Smyrna. Two sailors for some
weeks had been attending the mission
services. One night, in answer to the
invitation to come forward and confess
christ and join the church, one of the
sailors turned and said, "Well. ] will
come If Bill Will" But Bill would NOT
come. But the night before the ship
was to sail the two sailors came for
ward and gave their hearts TO Christ
ana Joined the church. Then the Chris
tian workers in Smyrna asked Bill how
II was that he came TO join the church.
In rough sailor fashion he said: "yyeu.
i liked to attend your meetings be-
cause they made me feel good. / used
to think OF the old times when ON Sum-
day afternoons in the old home at New
Bedford we used to sing the same
songs. Mother was there and nv sis
tiers and brothers and father were all
there, and really wanted to join your
church; but when Tom said he would
come if did ii made me mad. What
had TO do with Toms actions? But
a couple of nights ago Tom was sick.
sat up with him, and as he was toss
Ing around in his bunk l heard him
something, and as put my
ear down TO his mouth 1 heard him
say: oh, Bill. won't you come. BIZ?
It's my last chance for heaven. Bill.
Oh. Bill, won't you come? Won't you
conner And then and there said to
myself, IF my actions are going TO
Keep Tom out OF heaven. why, I'll
come And here we are, sir, Tom
and Billw SO today the loved ones in
your home and in the store and those
who are dependent upon you are plead
Ing with you to come into the church

Need Additional Circulation.
Additional circulation will be neces-
sary. Outstanding government bonds
are inadequate to secure it even if
their market value would justify
their use by the banks. It is even
doubtful if national bank currency
based on government bonds can be
made advantageous to banks. A
lower tax on circulation would be
scounteracted very promptly by cor
responding advance in the price of
bonds, and the profit would accure to
the present bondholders. I see no
objection to the issuance of circula-
ton based upon general credits, if
properly safeguarded.
l doubt, however, the wisdom of
making provision for the issuance of
credit currency to the limit of the
banks capital. Not that I would fear
unfortunate results, but in all finan-
cial legislation the greatest caution
must be exercised lest the currency
be suddenly and unduly inflated. A
gradual increase in circulation is
well-nigh imperative, but sudden
and unnecessary increase would be-
most unfortunate.

NOT GUILTY.
1oonatre NicOlaus, on Trial i'm st.
600ss fer Alleged Bribery,
Is Acquitted.

St: Louis, Dec. 4.-Benry Nicolaus,
the millionaire brewer and director in
the Suburban Street Railway company,
who was on trial on the charge of
bribery in connection with the pas
sage of the Suburban bill in the city
council, was acquitted under instruc-
lions from Judge Ryan, who sustained
the defense's demurrer to the states
case, and ordered that verdict of not
guilty be returned. After the state
had rested its case the attorneys for
the defense declared that the state had
failed to show knowledge or intent by
the witnesses who had taken the
stand against the defendant. They as
serted the state had not made strong
enough cases to warrant it's going to
the jury. Circuit Attorney Polk, in ar
guing against the demurrer, held that
the state had made clear case of
bribery against Nicolaus, contending
that he would not have signed notes
for $135, 900 without knowing to what
use the money thus obtained was to be
put. Judge Ryan announced his de-
cision Immediately upon the compile
ton of the arguments,a and ordered the
jury to acquit the defendant, which
was done. Mr.. Nicolaus received the
congratulations of his friends as he
left the courtroom.

MR.. REEDS ILLNESS.
ing from Catarrhal Appen-
dicitis-Is g. Sick Man.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Dr. F. A.
Gardner, who is attending ex-Speaker
Thomas B. Reed, made, the following
statement: "Mr. Reed has an attack
of catarrhal appendicitis. His tenn
perature Tuesday night was 1o3.
Wednesday morning it was 1O1 2-5 He
suffered good deal during the early
part of Tuesday night, but he has since
been resting easily. DR.. T. L. MacDon-
aid, surgeon, was called into consul
tation Wednesday morning at eight
o'clock. He did not consider the case
one that demand ed surgical interfer-
ence at the present time. While Mr..
Reed is resting comfortably, it is i'm
possible to say when surgical inter-
ference may be demanded.~ Every case
of appendicitis, however simple, is seri-
Gus, and he is sick man." DR.. Card
ner telegraphed Mrs. Reed that the
case was not alarming, but suggested
that she better come to Washington. =
Mrs. Reed and Miss Reed, wife and
daughter of the ex-speaker, arrived
here Wednesday evening from New
York. DR.. Gardiner Wednesday night
reiterated the statement made by him
during the day that all such cases as
that of Mr.. Reed are to be regarded
as serious, but added that he could
not say he saw any immediate danger
to be apprehended. The age of Mr..
Reed, who, while not an old man, is
yet fairly well along in years, together
with the fact that he was not in good
condition physically at the time he
was suddenly taken sick, are under
stood to be the worst features of hia
case.
