But think Of little Switzerland, with
it's population Of three million people
and all at work except the babies.
About half are shepherds and herds
men on the mountain slopes and
benches, raising sheep and milch cows
and in the year 1900 they sold over
ten million dollars worth of butter
and cheese. Down in the valleys and
around the lakes are many towns and
little cities that hum like bee hives,
for nimble fingers are making watch
es, jewelry, hair work, lace, silk and
cotton fabrics as fine as gossamer and
hundreds Of other little things which.
taken all together, make the commerce
of that little water covered and snow
capped republic nearly double the
commerce of any other country ac-
cording to population.
All the children from 6 to II years

but every citizen Is willing and
ready soldier to defend his country
Its government is republic divided
into twenty-five cantons or countess
and to maintain this republic they
have been fighting all contiguous ma.
tions for nearly six hundred years and
hare whipped every battle they
fought Austria, Prussia, Maximillian
and at last Bonaparte tried to subdue
that people, but failed utterly. They
never had an army CT over 10000 and
defeated Prussia with 10000 in seven
pitched battles. Austria demanded
10000 Swiss soldiers to help her tight
Turkey. Switzerland refused to fur
nish them, and that brought on war;
and Switzerland whipped 1t. We see
by the New York papers that they
have completed the new government
buildings at Berne, and the pictures or
them are lovely and the people are
proud and had a great festival when
they were opened for business. Grand
country-great people. John Calvin
left his mark upon them, for CT all the
twenty-five cantons only three have
kept allegiance to the Roman Catholic
church. But all are devoted Chris
tians, and on every Christmas day
and every Easter morn the young men
and maidens come tripping down the
mountain paths singing their Christ
mas or Easter carols and making the
cliffs and valleys echo with their
songs.
But it is .aid that their young men
fight for pay and are mercenary sol
diers. Yes, but they choose the side
they believe to be right. They would
not fight for Austria against the Turks
nor would they fight for Bnoaparte,
nor for England against the Beers.
And now the civilized world has let
them alone and the little republic has
had peace for nearly hundred years.

Unsympathetic Judgment.

When will men learn that no act and no
word, no! nor a million acts or words, can
cxhaustively represent the spirit whose
expression they are? Beneath and be-
hind all the manifold activities through
which the world learns to know US and
we learn to know ourselves is that infinite
spirit of ours, which, just because it is
infinite and because it is spirit. can never
adequately express itsel& in material form.
1t cannot make to itself any craven i'm
age which will do it justice And therein
lies the shame, the atrocity of unconsId-
cred and unsympathetic judgment. Who
can enter into the councils of another?
There is so much that we feel and must
leave unsaid, so much that we divine, but
have no skill to utter. There is no act
into which we can pour all our character,
no deed which suggests to an outsider
the infinite complexity of motive and cir
cumstance which determined it. Every
personality is like vast, harborless
island. 1t is difficult to effect landing
upon it; and when at any point you land,
YOU have done no more than land, the
ground has all to be traversed and ex-
plored. Shall any ore then harshly judge
the intricacies OF another mind or char.

Donned Flale Attire.

Daisy Young, IS years old, was ar
rested last week in Chicago while ar
rayed In male attire. The disguise Of
the young woman was so complete that
she had been able to pass as a boy
bootblack in a barber shop in South
Chicago for four days. She declared
that she wished to earn enough money,
as a man, to buy cornet. With the
cornet, she said, she could earn money
with which to go to Cleveland, Ohio,
where a sister lives.

Silent Sorrow.

Far better the silence of sorrow than
the sound of it. Far better the smile OF
trust than the tears OF doubt. Far better
the calm, serene brow than the wrinkles
OF petulance. The child that believes in
his mother laughs at the foot that over
turns his castle of blocks, and with a
shout of glee he builds again the ruined
towers into greater height. So do those
who believe in God bear HIS strokes and
take up the broken life and rear it into
loftier spiritual attainment. Those who
suk and complain behold naught except
blight and loss And is there anywhere in
the world a sadder sight than that of a
dispirited man or woman? All, yes, in
the silence of sorrow many a temple OF
nobler living has risen grandly to the
bending skies OF Gods love. like that
which Solomon planned, upon which the
noise of workman's tools was not heard.
Out of a quietness of soul such as this
have reached the hands that have swung
bells celestial into peals of joy.-Presby'

Bate Amendment Cut Out.

Washington, special.-A special
meeting Of the House committee on ag-
riculture was held Friday to consider
the Appalachian forest reserve bill.
After remaining in session half an
hour the committee decided to accept
the bill in its entirety, as amended by
the Senate, with the exception of the
Bate amendment. Major Moody was in
structed to formulate report to this
effect and the bill viii! be reported to
the House with the omission Of this
amendment. The bill is thus placed in
good shape for passage at the short
session.
