Emerson.

Thus far $127,o5O has been contributed for the proposed hall of philosophy to be erected as a memorial to Ralph Waldo Emerson in the Harvard university yard at Cambridge, Mass.." said literary man
 There is one 'anohymous' contribu- ton of $5o.Ooo. the largest yet made. There are six of s1o.oOO each, three of them by women-the next largest made. Several thousands more must be subscribed with in the next few weeks to enable the Harvard men to lay the corner stone on May 2b. the centennial of Emerson's birthday.
 Emerson was undoubtedly a great man of letters. He will always be held In reverence by a large number of cui- tured folks. But Emerson is sometimes decidedly vague and am certain that some of the bookish people who affect his transcendental philosophy or who talk about transcendentalism could not state with any degree of clearness the transcendental doctrine.

MIR. SAGE IN A NEW SUIT.

New York Telegram to the Pittsburg Dis
 patch.
 Uncle Russell Sage gave Wall street an- other surprise today by appearing in the district in a brand new suit of store clothes and hat It was only a short time ago that the aged hnancier whirled into the street with a clinker-built auto, letting his annual pass on the Manhattan elevated go to waste in his pocket These Alcibiadian feats of extravaganza are causing no little comment on the street, where MT. Sage has always been regard ed as a fairly economical man. Mir. Sage's last suit, bought two years ago, was had at a bargain in a Broadway store. He saw it in a window marked s1050 and admired 1t greatly. He did not buy at once, but waited until the early June days waned into August, when 1t was marked down to ss.73. Then he jump ped in and bought 1t for cash.

 The advantages of Brunswick over Pittsburg are set forth in detail, and the items of gains extend as a rule into the millions. The Iron Age Is in- clined to doubt, but the Iron Age is much more under Pittsburg than Brunswick influence, and 1t may not do justice to the latter. The Age-Her- aid is not prepared to endorse the facts and figures of the Mohawk company in all respects, but 1t wishes 1t success even to the extent set forth in its pros pectus.

Great Winter Wheat Crop.

"The country Is now approaching the month preceding the first month Of sum naturally of much interest," said Wis consln man.
 April has been so chilly and so wet that agricultural progress in the west and northwest is very slow. The season is now considered ten days later than usual, though March was very forward. The soil has been too wet for blowing and planting corn, and in many sections oats could not be wisely sown. But the general report from all sections of the country is that the winter wheat is su- perb and that it's promise is magnificent" ]"

If every body would do little
more home missionary work, q
great deal might be accomplished
IN breaking boys from bad habits.
If, when a boy asks you for
match to light a cigarette you re-
fuse and instead give him q quiet
little talk on the evils Of the habit,
il may soon have a good effect on
him. The rule is, we are sorry 70
say, the boys are encouraged IN
their bad habits instead Of trying
to check them. We have seen men
teaching boys to smoke and to
drink intead of saying a word
againstit. Such men are a curse
to the race. Even your silence IS
too often interpreted to mean con-
sent, so we are all more or less to
blame for our boys going wrong
We need some every day, practic-
a. home missionary work, not Of
the kind that is intended to save
souls in the world to come, but
such as will have tendency to
save souls here and now, for the
best results IN this world And
by doiog this tue world to come i'
also being indirectly, but more ei-
