Futures opened barely steady and from to IA points lower in sympathy with Liverpool and New York Soon after the opening the bears for a short time made free use of their ham mers, but as soon as July was IT points lower than the close Saturday, shorts commenced to take profits. This caused a recovery of a few points For the bet ter part of the morning July fluetuated between 1890 and 14 cents. Every time prices were down a few points shorts took profits. and this did not allow of any wide decline. as offerings were extremely linn ited It was a narrow market with all classes of traders eagerly looking for developments in crop conditions, and not caring to operate to any great extent un- til the issue of the government report at noon tomorrow. In the trading July first lost F points to 1890, recovered to 1898 and finally declined to 1885 The closing was very quiet.

Alcohol For Automobiles,

Within recent years the production
of alcohol in Germany has been stimu-
lated by beneficial legislation, whereby
for industrial purposes it is free CT
revenue duty, and the result has been
that in addition to an extensive use in
chemical and manufacturing processes
it is. being increasingly employed for
small internal combustion motors. AL
cohol has been found particularly use
full for automobiles, and as the COM
bustion under full load is practically
complete. there are no offensive odors
as in the case of gasoline and naphtha.
Since gasoline has q higher heat Of
combustion than alcohol in the ratio Of
two to one, to perform the same work
a greater weight of the latter is re-
quired, but this is diminished by the
fact that with alcohol a greater amount
of heat is obtained in the form Of
work. Consequently, it takes four
parts of alcohol by -reight to accom-
plish the same amount of work as three
parts Of petroleum, and the question
resolves itself into one of cost, in Ger
many this being in favor Of alcohol.
Furthermore, the question has to be
considered in European countries such
as Germany, that petroleum is a for
eign product, while alcohol is produced
from the extensive fields of potatoes
which are universally cultivated
throughout the empire. Harper's
Weekly.

A Modest

General Cronje, who is visiting the

his picture the other day by a news
photographer.
II am too modest" said the Boer
leader, laughing.
But a great man like you" the
photographer began.
ooh, if 1 were great, I should be still
more modest" said General Cronje.
LET me tell you about the modesty Of
a king-King Frederick VI. Of Den
mark-who really was q great man.
King Frederick VI. was visiting a
certain Danish school. The pupils
were intelligent and alert. He put q
number Of questions to them.
what he said finally, are the
names of Denmark's greatest kings?'

It s,lnnot think. It does not know. It
has NO true perception. nor any mental &C.
ton whatever, apart froll what we call
instinct. 1t is utterly without the moral
expefiences-without love, without hate,
without hope, without faith. Though be-
longing to the Kingdom of God, it Knows
as little of God as Herbert Spencer used
to Insist he and the rest Of mankind knew.
1t is nothing but a bundle of unconscious
organized life, with inherent capabilities
notI yet manifest. It hasn't ability enough
MEMORY enough to remember itself at this
staEge of its being. Were it not for that
6r$t miracle OF Providence in human life

THE earth on the day Of it's birth.
But wait a little and see. Wait until
THE mothers fostering care, and the faith
eFs disciplinary training, and the instruc-
tibn of the schools and the churches, and
all the various appliances of Christian civ
i~lization have wrought their vast part in
connection with the universal law of de-
velopment and progress-and then observe
the child, now become the man. How
wonderful and Undesirable the result!
That little child now stands erect and sur
climbs the heights, and, walking with God
lO1 AZ AOAto IA IL IN soA
|veys the heavens. He counts the stars
and calls them by their names. He knows
he is superior to suns and systems. His
heart thrills with pulsations that are
mightier than ocean currents or solar in
fuences. He sees. He knows. He an:
d~erstands. He reasons. He feels within
himself the mighty mastery. He calls out
to God, and God answers him. The scep-
tire is already in his hand, and the crown
is in sight that the Son of Man hin,sc,:
will soon place on his brow. Henceforts
he is king, and alive forerermore, with a
life that viii rule the world and conquer
death.
Such is the law OF progress which is
here applied to the church, both collec-
lively and individually. We are here SOL
emily commanded to rise up and seize our
inheritance. Never before in all the ages
was there such a concurrent blast Of trum-
pets from all quarters of the globe calling
the church to 20 forward. Let the co..
