until the 1st of May, at which time the Governor would appoint the nominee 0f the Democratic primary April 11th, 1904. for the unexpired term. This appoint- ment is interpreted here as practically leaving the selection of Judge Winters successor to a vote of the people in the prsnary. and is entirely satisfactory to Colonel Collier and his friends.
 Since the mention of Colonel Collier in connection with the juagship. his friends have been active in his behalf, and he has received many encouraging letters and messages. His friends are enthusiastic and he will continue in the race before the people in tue primary.

 The Teacher's Lantern. An ail-night vigil of meditation and prayer was Jesus preparation for two supremely important acts: First. the choice and ordination of his apostles; sec ond, the delivery of his most extended St. Augustine originated the theory of twofold sermon; one on the mount, and the other on the plain; one to the church, and the other to the masses. The theory Is designed to reconcile the accounts of Luke and Matthew, and to cover what seems to some premature enunciation of doctrine to the people at large  The theory seems Q supererogation. No part of the sermon Is esoteric or confi- dential. It Is the enunciation of a pub He program of doctrine and duty for the whole people. And there is a spiritually correct and true harmony between Luke and Matthew.

 The excellent glory of Jesus's teaching is that he carries the law into the inmost part. He prescribes nothing external. He wants the spirit of the law infused in- to the heart. Nothing short of this con- stitutes a disciple of Jesus. Objection has been raised against tho Sermon on the Mount that 1t does not enunciate the doctrine of the new birth. True 1t does not do so categorically. It does so inferentially, however. and be- yond question. The corrupt tree must be transformed, made entirely new, before , 1t can bring forth good fruit.

Child Study and Sunday School
 Methods.

A series of questions were propounded to the children of the primary grades fin the public schools of Boston some time since. The questions related to the conn monest things of nature, changes of sea- son, day and night. rain, ice. snow, light. lightning, and thunder. The answers to these questions are a study in psychol- ogy. They Illustrate the crudity of the mental conceptions of little children and the oddity of their use of language. Suc- cessful teaching absolutely requires that the teacher shall find the children where they are; shall get into the same world with them, and use terms and cymbols that are intelligible to them. And this IS to be done without affectation, which children are quick to detect and resent.

Those of Long Stantiing and Those
Made In Later Life,

Made In Later Life,
People make friends, later than they
used to. or ut least so it seems to us,
probably because they grow old in gen
eral later than they did. Friendship
must change its nature With advancing"
years. but whatever makes later life
full of activities and new beginnings
causes friendships also to begin at
even the later stages of the journey,
OF two old men early friends who had
quarreled Coleridge said:
They stood aloof, the scars remaining.
Like cliffs which had been rent asunder.
Such an image of course gives power
fully the sense of fiXity. the opposite of
the fluid potentiality of youth. Yet in
the same poem we have the hint that
not all is glorious in youth:
And constancy lives in realms above,
And life is thorny, and youth Is vain.
Friendship becomes rid of some van
ity, it becomes more noble and satisfy
ing to the deeper thoughts and ideaIs.
when the roots of it grow back into Il
long distant past, and if we can keep
the power of making a few new
friends in age as we need them to sup
plement those inherited from youth,
which grow fewer with the years. but
ripper and more select. friendship should
play a satisfying role far along toward
the end of life. the best role indeed Of
it's career, il, as Emerson Thinks a life
time is needed for it's completeness,
while an hour or a day is enough for
toll or play. The late friendships of the
unmarried. the childless and the Wild
owed have Il special necessity and
pathos of their own. for mates and
children to large extent at certain
periods naturally take the place Of
other friends.-COllier's Weekly.

An Interested Juror.

An instance of all Interested jury
man was reported not long ago. A jury
had been impaneled, when man
stepped forward and explained that,
having been summoned to serve. he
wished to be allowed to do so at once
as he had to attend funeral at dis
tant place in the latter portion Of the
week. A place was therefore made for
him in the jury box. The case was
tried, and owing to this mans obsti-
macy verdict of acquittal was Sc
cured. 1t was subsequently discovered
that the man had never been sum-
moned to serve at all and that the pris-
oner was his friend-London Tit-Bits.

A London paper relates that an en-
terprising Yankee came over to Eng
land and decided to open shop in
Birmingham. He obtained premises
next door to man who also kept q
shop of the same description, but was
not very pushing in his business meth
DDS. The methods of the Yankee, how
ever. caused the older trader to wake
up. and with the spirit of originality
strong upon him he affixed a notice
over his shop with the words, ''Estab-
lished fifty years." painted in large
letters. Next day the Yankee replied
to this with a notice over his store to
this effect: Established yesterday.

L1COr1ce.

Licorice was once highly esteemed
incidentally, and its cultivation in Eng
land began early in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth. 1t was thought sovereign
remedy for coughs and at one time was
very profitable crop. Its name comes
from two Greek words signifying
''sweet root" The root was first i'm
ported from Spain. The extract of
lcorice is still used in candy and lozen-
ges and, it is said, must be made from
the dried roots. otherwise it is not so
bright and clear in color.
