Triumrh Of Mechnnicn1 sli11.

A curious piece of mechanical luxury
has been set up in Sir James Blyth's
home in Portland place, London, by
means of which the dining room can
noiselessly double it's size.
One saunters down to drink a cup Of
coffee $50 a contemporary describes it,
and finds a spacious and we'll proper
toned room papered in warm crimson
and hung with handsome pictures.
There is a door of communication with
the adjoining room, on either side of
which hangs large picture in a heavy
gold frame. The floor is polished, and
thick carpet comes within a yard of
the wall all around.
The coffee is excellent. but one doubts
its potency when, on turning round
one is confronted by the partitioning
wall, doors, pictures, and all half way
through the floor! Silently it sinks be-
low, and no flaw in the polished and
even floor is perceptible! Only the
crimson walls are twice as long, and
there are bordered carpets. 1t is the
most perfect triumph Of mechanical
| skill.

FOREIGN MISSIONARIES.
EThey Are Misunderstood" Says One

HThey Are Misunderstood" Says One
Who Knows Them Intimately.
I have had rare opportunity to study
the inside life Of the foreign mission
airy. l am free to say that so far as
their external life is concerned there is
no class of people more fully misunder-
stood and more persistently misreport-
ed. Some say they live lives of ease in
comparative luxury; others that those
who 90 into missionary work do so be-
cause there is no chance of their get
ting a comfortable living at home.
Others think of them as a lot of long
haired fanatics who have a strange
conception of religious duty and who
under the impulse of that conception
have gone into uncivilized regions to
live.
1t is not generally known that the
most of the missionaries of the old,
well established mission boards are
graduates of our best American col
! leges and universities and who have
had, in addition to their university
| training, a postgraduate course of from
three to five years. The missionaries
who are finally sent are selected from
a larger number of applicants, and
they are in many cases the honor men
of their classes. There are few Amer.
lean colleges or universities which
have not graduates in the foreign mis-
sionary service who bear degrees Civ,
en- by the alma mater for distinguished
scholarship. These people 90 to unciv
iliZed countries for the most part anC
take up their abode among a rude anC
savage people.
1t is not to be wondered at that for
eign missionaries have adventures
which are hardly paralleled by any
class of people in the world. The life
Of many missionary is filed will

There is a suspicion that this is not

Duluth, Miss, June 9.-The whale |

The names of the men lost: Aaron

The Wilson was coming toward the
canal and the Hadley going out, both
loaded. Just before reaching the canal
and when about opposite ne Wilson,
the Hadley was given orders by a tug
to go to Superior. Immediately she
sheered off for the Superior entry,
and crashed directly into the Wilson.
The Wilson went down so quickly that
it did not seem possible to save life.
One man on the Wilson threw life
preservers to those who had jumped
into the water The crew OF the Had.
ley also threw out life preservers. As
the Wilson went down, the members
of cbnd IN he or

free themselves from their clothing.
The vessel did not float a minute after
the collision. During this interval
she seemed supported entirely by the
Hadleys PROV, which was sticking
in through her plates. Two men who
jumped last were seen struggling near
the hull just before the plunge and
could not be seen afterward
In a few moments it was apparent
that the Hadley was going down and
the crew on it could be seen stripping
themselves and lowering the boats
Some of them got into the boats, but

nlSnU OF faufS ana SllaS' incarceration.
Every gate and slab door will fly open.
The tall cemetery shafts shall tumble
as did the walls of Jericho at the blast
of the rams horn. The bodies Of the
sailors sleeping by the coral reefs, the
emigrants who died when crossing the
prairie, the arctic explorers buried IN
der the snow and ice, the missionaries
who died upon the KOngo-they shall
all come up. The dead which slept IN
der the dome of a Tai Mahal and the
poor unknown patient who died in the
county hospital and whose body was
buried in pOtter's field shall come up.
The bodies of the rich and the poor
alike, the black and the white, the Jew
and the gentile-they shall all come up.
Then Christ shall separate this multi
tude which is gathered before him as
a shepherd separates his sheep from
the goats. Toward the sheep the Saw
Jour will turn a forgiving face, but
toward the goats he shall turn a con-
demning face when he says, Depart
from me, We cursed, into everlasting
fire."
If Christ is not to have a condemning
face to those who have not repented
of their sins, how can you account for
the scene in the parable of the ten vir-
gins? AS we read that parable we see
the five foolish virgins who had not
prepared for the BridegrOOm's coming
standing without and pounding upon

Two men shall be working in the fields;

the mill; the one shall be taken and the

standing ut the marriage altar; the
one shall be taken and the other left.
Oh, my friends, l beg and plead with
/ you to look into the fOrgiving face OF
Christ while it is yet time! Do not let
the SavlOur's face ever become to you
u condemning face.
When the apostate Julian was dying

'That story of the widows mite does
more harm than good, believe" says
a church worker who has seen the lido
syncrasies of many good people. 1.-THE
inference that people draw from it is
that there is virtue in mites, and they
give mites from their own abundance,
forgetting that the poor widow of the
Bible story gave all that she had l
am inclined to believe that this must
be one reason that church work Of all
kinds is so poorly supported People
give generously everywhere before
they remember the church. They ex-
pect to pay for what they get every
where outside, but in the church they
want to get as much as they can for
the least possible outlay"

once made which brought home to him
the need of verifying details. At the
request of the trustees of the Boston

in Hebrew characters Il am thy God.
When the work was finished and
ready for inspection, he was. dismayed
to- hear a Jewish friend declare that
his Hebrew inscription read, ''Thou arr
shalt not" The characters were
promptly revised.
