BLAINE KNEW THE FAMILY.

An Incident Illustrating the Great
Stateman's Remarkable Memory.
A gentleman prominent in Massa-
chusetts told this anecdote of the late
Hon. James G.. Blaine one night, not
long after witnessing the incident:
Mr.. Blaine, said he, had a peculiar
gift for remembering names and faces,
but this was the most amusing exhibit
ton Of his gift that l had ever wit
messed. 1t was at large reception in
Washington. A gentleman Of rather
countrif1ed appearance was introduced
to Mr.. Blaine as Mr.. Mason.
"What!' exclaimed Mr.. Blaine, "Mr
Mason, of Poultney, Wiz"
YES" replied Mr.. Mason, delighted
at being definitely placed geograph-
ically.
1.-THE son Of Stephen Mason"
YES" delighted again to be geneal-
ogically placed.
"Ah, yes" said Mr.. Blaine, land he
died In let me see, in 1858, did he
not? I remember-and he was buried
in the little yard by the church. And
his father was John Mason, who
fought in the War of 1912. All, yes"
1t was all SO sympathetic and SO his
torically correct, and the mans pleas
ure over having a distinct place In the
statesman's mind was so evident that
we coveted the ready memory and tact
Of the busy Statesman who could so
definitely place every one.
Yet this seemed exceptional, SO after
the man had passed on we said to the
Senator, How could you remember all
that? Did you ever know his father2"
He laughed and said: mo, l never
saw him, but had an old aunt who
lived in Poultney, VT, and several
summers ago spent a Sunday with
her and l went to church with her.
The day was warm, and had difficult
ty in keeping awake. The window was
open to the little graveyard, and every
time I nodded I opened my eyes to see
on a big stone whose reflected white
ness made me blink: Stephen Mason.

1T never would have done to fall

Bibles in Many Tongues,

The recent annual report of the Brit
Ish and Foreign Bible Society is an
extraordinary record of worldwide
work. The year 1904-O5 was the open
ing year Of the second century of its
history, and the issues of the Scrip
lures in many tongues rose to a total
only once before surpassed. Some
idea Of the scope Of the organization
Is conveyed by the single sentence
that since it came into existence the
total issues of the society amount to
1881, 746 copies of the Holy Scrip
lures, complete or in parts, of which
not more than 100000 were in En-
glish. Last year there were put in
circulation a total of 5,957,645 Bibles
or portions Of them. One of the feat
ures of the report is that ~ new Ian
guages were added to the list Of YER
sions during the year, bringing the
number up to 800.
OF the new tongues thus added to
the list six belong to Africa, three to
Oceanica, two to Asia and one to Cen
trail America. The Gospel of st, John
will soon be in circulation in Susieh
the speech Of a Berber tribe in South
Morocco, and in the colloquial Arabic
Of Algeria. st. Matthew has been
printed in Se-kalana, the language of
people living west of Matabeland.
South Africa; while the language of
the fierce Nasal of East Africa has
been made to express st. Mark. The
same gospel has been printed In Gang
for an Achoh tribe north Of Uganda,
and that Of st. Luke for the naked
Dinka, who inhabits the region round
FashoGa.
The other six new languages are
Mukawa for New Guinea; Santo Bav
and Tafasao for the New Hebrides.

on the eastern coast of Nicaragua.

The onward Look,

Constantly look up. Be on the watch
for chances to rise, like bird let
loose, though but for moment, into
the upper air. Such is the nature OF
holiness. Being from God, it is ever
seeking to revert to its source. The
heavier the pressure Of a mundane life
upon it, the stronger is the force Of
its compressed aspirations. Such
pressure is like that Of the atmosphere
on water, which seeks, through ere
vices in its enclosure, the level of its
fountain. A spirit like this will de-
mand the habit Of fragmentary prayer
for it's own holy indulgence; and will
demand it with an importantly pro-
portioned to the superincumbentw weight
Of earthly cares. - Austin Phelps,
