Life in City and Country.

Is life in a city less harmful to the morals of young people than life in the country towns? It has long ago been an accepted conclusion that it is bet ter for a boy or girl to grow up in the country but in a recent address by Dr. John Huston Finley president of the College of New York, the contrary view was taken. Dr. Finley's express sions have aroused general interest in the subject. The pitch of his remarks is found in the following paragraphs:
 'T question very much whether the city boy is not really better off than the country boy The moral atmos- phere even in such a city as this is much superior to the moral atmos- phere of the average village east and west. And think of what the boy in this city has in the $40 acres he may call his home. He has the whole his tory of humanity and the best men in the country within ear shot As far as the comparative health is concern ed, I will say that most of the prairie boys I used to know in my youth are now under the sod
 The newspapers, in general, have seized on pr. Finley's text with avid ity. echoing his sentiments. the New York Sun for example, commenting in its usual incisive style: Seas of sen timental nonsense in praise of rural charms have been written, mostly by 71ersOuS themselves fond of the uIeas- ures of the town. Vice in villages has all the grossness and none of the charm. Ideas and language are likely to be coarse. Even ninble wits lose something there for want of exercise and competition. If it be true that most of the eminent men of cities are country born, that merely shows that

 versailles. Better two days in Manhat- tan than a cycle in East Jay" The New York Times is inclined to agree with Dr. Finley. yet points out that the main determining question is the mor- al atmosphere of the home itself.
 For the city we have greater scope and variety of opportunity. The schools are more numerous; they are usually better; counsel. instruction. iIlumina- tion from trained and gifted minds are accessible; galleries, museums. libra ries, organizations for mental help anl guidance are many. and through the large mass of young minds there i3 sent the invigorating sense of sympa thy and emulation and mutual excite ment. With these obvious advantages there go some drawbacks. It is not so easy in the city to obtain concen- tration and directness of effort. There is more distraction. Family and social ties are more readily broken or inter fered with. Intimate influences on the part of parents, of teachers. of minis ters and religious teachers, is in a measure more difficult and less eff cient. Standards of conduct and of sentiment and belief can not be main tained with the same definiteness. No elaboration of organization for educa- tion, no multiplication of means of in struction and intellectual aid will off set neglect or folly or selfish indul- gence in the home"
 "There is much to be said against rusticity when it is coupled with ig- norance," says the Brooklen Eagle, and from this at once derives a panacea for the ills to which both city and coun- try are heir:
 ''In both town and country it is the substitution of material for social or intellectual, or spiritual ends, that causes much of the wrongdoing It is the wrong view that sees and seeks nothing but a gain to the pocket or the passing satisfaction of the senses which consigns so many lives of dull ness and darkness; careers of unceas- ing toll, without the compensations that life will bring when conducted on a higher plane. The schools are inn proving in the country. and this will do something toward the elimination of dulness and sordidness of existence in remote hamlets: and when the toy has a mind that is quicker and better stored he will adapt himself more pIiantly to his surroundings and dis cover. a hundred sane pleasures where now he sees nonep

The Sea Level Project.

Sentiment in favor of a sea-level canal at Panama seems to be growing. The original intention of the French engineers under De Lesseps was to construct the waterway on this plan, hut the floods of the Chagres river proved uncontrollabie; the upper stra- ta of materials in the CuIebra cut cav ed into the excavation faster than it could be taken out. and the company decided to alter its plans and con- struct a lock canal. At about this time financial difficulties overlook it, and the work lapsed altogether.
 The report of the Isthmfan Canal commission, transmitted to congress in December. 1901, stated that that body agreed with the various French com missions since the failure of the old company in rejecting the sea-level project" and reached the conclusion that while such a plan would be phy- sical practicable. and might be adopted if no other solution were available, the difficulties of all kinds. and espec- ially those of time and cost, would be so great that a summit canal reached by locks is to be preferred" The cost of 2. sea-Ievel canal was then estimat- ed by the commission at $24O,0OO,O 600 and the time of construction was plac- ed at twenty years.
 The opinion that a lock canal is preferable has been generally adhered to until recently. when Chief Engineer Wallace took a stand in favor of the tide-water plan. One reason of this is that after boring to the depth of 165 feet, the engineers have been un- able to find a rock foundation for the enormous BOhio dam, which is to hold back the accumulated waters and make a large lake. This dam is the essential feature of a lock canal. The most important consideration, hOwev- CT. is that a sea-IeYel canal, though it would cost according to various es inmates from s75 100000 to S1O0,000,O00 more than a lock canal, and require from five to ten years more time to complete. would, when finished. be far more satisfactory in every way. A ca nal with two or three locks and summit level of ninety feet would pro vide a slow and cumbersome method of transit. and added to this is the un- certainty regarding the control of the Chagres river in flood seasons. With a sea-leveI canal the only lock neces- sary woud be to restrain the tide on the Panama side which rises to a level of ten feet as against two feet on the Pacific side.
 The question is a highly important one and requires the greatest care and deliberation on the part of congress and the commission in it's settlement. The canal is to be constructed for all time, and if the expenditure of even a hundred millions more and a delay of ten more years will result in mak ing it more perfect public sentiment is likely to be in favor of the change.

Worlds Fairs and Aspiring savages.


 A western newspaper discussing the impediments carried by the Esl1imos returning from the St. Louis exposition states that many of the squaws are taking back sewing machines, and that all of the men are taking back plug hats. Not only does this intelligence bring the charge of vanity home to the sex that has always denied it, but it also calls the attention of the public to the fact that worlds fairs GO some thing for the uncivilized as we'll as for the civilized.
 It is not to be expected that any civ ilizl1g influence will radiate from a high silk hat, and the male inhabitant of the land of the midnight sun who dons it on gala occasions will be con- tributing nothing toward the uplift of his brother from the savage state. But it is not possible to dismiss so contemptuously the sewing machine. Here is something that cannot be worn as an ornament or exhibited as a charm, so it is reasonable to infer that the female Eskimos who are taking it back with them understand it's use and recognize, it's value.
 To be sure. it is not unlikely that the importation of this article may cause heartburnings and jealousies in the land of Peary's travels. It may intro- duce caste where caste never before existed. Owners of the machines may choose to lock down on thosi whose garments are made with the bone needle and the gut thread. and as consequence, more harm than good may result from it's introduction into the ice hut.
 But, nevertheless. the thought that somewhere up near the arctic circle the whirr of the sewing machine is making music for some lady of the saows is apt to emphasize. for the civilized pub lie. at least, the kinship of the world. Moreover. nothing that these women Eskimos could have carried back with them would have more satisfactorily demonstrated their intelligence and practical bent. The invention of the sewing machine rescued the white women from time consuming drudgery. In so quickly recognizing it's import ance. the Eskimo woman has empha- sized it.

The Pictures of Jesus.

An interesting article appears in number of Public Opinion on Like nesses of Christ in Art" It consists of quotations from a paper by Sir Wyke Bayliss, president of the Royal Society of British Artists on this sub ject, in which the author sets forth the somewhat exceptional view that exist ing portraits of Christ are. in the main, true to the original. It has gener- ally been supposed that these paint ings represented only the ideals of the respective artists, but Sir Wyke main tains the authenticity of the existing pictures.
 He arrives at this conclusion by process of reasoning similar to that by which theoIogians establish the genuineness of the scriptures. He goes fback, step by step, until he comes to the earliest ages. and the similarity between all the existing portraits. he thinks, can be accounted for only on the supposition that they all have for prototype common original
 The paintings of Raphael. Corregio Michaelangelo. and Albert Duerer he says, takes us back to the period of the Renaissance Their paintings of Christ exhibit a mos striking similar ity. Then he proceeds to consider the frescoes in the catacombs. These, he claims are mostly from the third and second centuries. There are two like fr, Roman youth, and the other that which reappears in the paintings of the masters. One is syrlbolical. the other, we are told, is clearly a real likeness
 But Sir Wyke considers the 'patera" still more convincing. fife explains what these are. In early ages of the church they would lay the body of their dead upon a layer Of fresh nor tar. Before the grave was closed a sacramental cup would be placed near the hand of the corpse. The vessels were of glass and would fall to pieces. while their base would in1bed itself in the mortar, and be preserved. On these bases the same likeness of Christ has been found. There are portraits of John, of Paul. of Peter, and of Christ Another testimony is drawn from rthe so-calIed veronicas. The legend is that Veronica, plying Jesus, as He went to His death, wiped the sacred i countenance with a piece of cloth, and | that His portrait was mlraculousIy i'm pressed on the fabric. Sir Wyke says | the Veronicas are facecIoths from the | graves of the first martyrs. on which Roman artists had painted a likeness of Christ, as the Romans very often | buried the dead with picturecloth on | their faces The paintings of the re- naissance, the mosaics of the basilicas, the pictures on the ssacramental ves- sels, the pateras, and the veronicas, form, according to the author quoted, very strong testimony in favor of the authenticity of the likeness preserved to us as that of the Redeemer. As will he readily seen, the strength of the ar gument depends entirely on the state ment that the various pictures given
 us are in the main identical. This Is denied by competent authority.
 It is not probable that any portrait was made during the lifetime of Christ The Jews did not believe. in reproduce
