A gentleman of this city was asked
in Edinburg, Scotland, if Washington
is an Inland town" The reply was
that it is some two hundred miles
from the sea, but manages to have
very respectable navy-yard. Just
now there is squadron of battleships
in the harbor of this city, under the
command of Rear Admiral Sand. 1t
has on board six hundred midship-
men who are doing the Navy Yard,
fondling the big guns, seeing the
town, and having the time of their
life. The squadron makes formida-
BILE appearance and includes the bat
tleships Massachusetts and Texas, the
monitors Florida, Arkansas and Ne
yada, the torpedo boat destroys Law

An agitation is going on in this city
in favor extensive Fairgrounds for
children TO be provided with gridirons
gymnasinns, and bowling alleys, as
well as sanitary accommodations
Washington is already a city of parks
while nearly every private residence
has good sized yard both in front
and rear. No city in the Union needs
Fairgrounds for children less than
Washington. There is too much play
ing already, and it will be good thing
when children are taught to do some
thing useful. That Boston he play
grounds, where the conditions are
very different, and the population is
crowded, is no reason why a city of
wide streets, innumerable parks. and
nearly one hundred thousand shade
trees, should go to the expense of
buying seven more fields of play
grounds.

The Teachers Lantern.

The Teachers Lantern.
Footballs on the Boundary of An
other World' was the winning title
of book which appeared thirty years
ago. 1t proved somewhat deft col
lection of popularity known condi-
tiors. The Bible better deserves that
title. Among the many incidents it
contains, perhaps there is not one
which leads us closer to the boundary
of another world than the translation
of Elijah. 1t has been described as
the most glorious, significant, joyful
event which the world before the
time of Christ had seen.
How often the dying, out of consid-
Grafton for their loving watchers, en-
treat them to leave them a VIII for
the sake of rest, and as often do the
watchers respond in terms Ike Eli
sha's strong observation, LAS the
Lord liveth and as thy soul liyeth |
will not leave thee,n and to the very
boundary of another world the living
go with the dying.
The human heart Graves certain
evidence of a world beyond this fitful
existence. 1t is quick to detect the
analogies of nature. But these are
insufficient on the death of friends or
ones own approaching dissolution.
Cicero reasoned we'll of Immortality,
but his reasoning was powerless to
assuage his grief when his loved
daughter Tullia died. "Mournful mar
bles.' is the natural exclamation
after one has walked the length
of the gallery of inscription in the
Vatican, looking only at the side up
on which the Roman sepul chral in
scriptions are set up. 1t is an an
thetic reproduction of the blank de-
spair of the human mind without rev.
elation.
The ascension of Elijah breaks in
upon this natural, impenetrable
gloom, superinduced by the greatest
mystery and sorrow Of human expe-
rience-a vivid, irresistible. argument
for the existence of another world.
This ascension accentuates the val
ne of the human body. The modern
tendency to depreciate the physical
frame is germane to that Pigment of
ancient philosophy which asserts that
evil inheres in material substances.
The inference is that the spirits sep
aratiOn from the body is emancipa-
ton. The tendency now is to assert
the immediate reclothiDg of the spirit
with body suited to its new sphere.
Over against the morbid depreca-
ton of the human body which mark
ed an earlier theology, there is late
and healthful tendency to assert the
| Wilderness of man, and to appreciate
the body as an integral part of that
Wilderness. The reciprocal influence
OF mind upon body and body upon
mind is better understood Physical
culture, Delsarte, calisthenics. diet
les, sanity in ventilation, sleep, land
recreation. The tabooing disease and
kindred matters as subjects of con-
versation, the refusal to morbidly con-
slider symptoms and petty ailments
all this tends to the reductions of dis
ease and the promotion of longevity
and happiness. The Bible, when it
pictures Moses, Elijah, and Jesus en-
tering heaven in their bodies gives us
the apotheosis of the human body.
