MUCH TALENT, LITTLE GENIUS.
Justin Mccarthy's Idea Of the English
Literary World.

Justin Mccarthy, whose own activi-
ties as writer have extended over
more than half a century, does not
agree with the despondent note often
heard in the discussion of English lit
erature. 1T is true" he says, that
we have not the old giants with us,
We have much fine talent, but not,
perhaps, much real genius. 1t is the
quiet sea after the billows. What
mean is that in literary history you
have times of great minds and then
again times of merely gifted minds.
The present time is one Of high aver
age talent rather than one OF genius.
The average quality of English litera-
ture has never, perhaps, been higher,
and then people are reading more.
When the next fight of great geniuses
comes along there will be a public
such as even Thackeray or Dickens
did not have"

Lining for evening" Goats.

A pretty idea has come up in the
lining Of evening coats, which is the
use OF the most elaborately fiowered
Japanese silks. Some of the summer
so-called dust coats which have been
made of colored pongees. IL lined in
this way, are pretty enough to be
worn for evening, especially If strong
shades are chosen, and the colored
laces used for trimming. and it is a
suggestion that these silks are pretty
enough and have warmth enough to
make ideal evening and theater coats
where the lesser expense is an object.

Washing Knives Right

Never put the handle OF knives into
the water. for thus the handle would
be discolored and the blade loosened.
Instead dip each blade into hot water
with soda and dry II at once. Another
method is to have large tin or basin
with a tin or wooden cover. In the
cover Sits are cut, through which the
blades Of the knives pass to the
water, while their handles rest on the
top.

In this allegory Jesus asserts Ills Fundamental relation to humanity. He is a source of spirit ual life and fruitfulness. Abiding in tho stock (Jesus) and pruned by the hus- bandmau (the Fatherl, the branches l tthe disciplss) live and bear fruit. Apart from the stock the branches they wither. Figurative language could not | be used more sxilfully.

 are not far off distractions, but that | they are concerted in an imman mt Christ. Those who are joined to Him whether dead or living Gas we use the words) live Gin the higher meaning which Jesus has put into the word). The dead have not lost, the living can not
 lose this immortal life. He that hath the Son hath life.
 Jesus acted out still another parable when He washed His disciples feet (Lesson V).It was to rebuke the un- seemly scramble for place in which His disciples engaged at the last supper, that Jesus performed the most menial task of the scullery drudge. He puts
 an end to caste, place, and precedence.
 Henceforth His disciples must cherish such a feeling toward lone another as would make them willing to perform the most lowly service for each other. A social occasion and a great populd- ovation next arrest our attention. The supper at Bethany Lesson HID was high and loving courtesy shown to
 Jesus. One significant and timely deed lifted this feast to the level of sacra-
 ment Mary brought out of her bou doir an Oriental cruse of alabaster flll-
 ed with liquid perfume and poured 1t upon Jesus's head and feet. Mary gave

 The orderly precision of all His move

 THE QUARTERLY REVIEW.
 The twelve lessons of the quarter are like the twelve jewels in the high priests, breastplate. They are of price- less value. Each has It's own peculiar charm. After its contents have been apparently exhausted each is sure to emit an unexpected ray. They are SO placed with reference to each other that each enhances the other

The high priest of the new dispensatton carried the twelve apostles upon Ills bosom. Jesus stands with the littls group of men to whom he had made the greatest possible revelation. and whom He expects in their turn to be re- vealers of His truth. He must needs leave them. If they fail all is lost. He cries to heaven for them, that they may be kept and sanctified and their unity preserved.
 TWO types of character come in sharpest contrast when Jesus appears before Pilate for trial Lesson v1ID. Pilate, time-server. whose ruling mos tive was to keep his place. to do which he would even condemn the inuocenf. Jesus, King in the realm of trutns whose subjects are the lovers ot truth. The outcome of these two types is slg- nifscant Pilate's time-serving had small reward. He kept office only six years longer.

The evangeiists incidentally suggest how we should treat that piti- | fui scene. Their quadruple description of inc erucifixion is literary marvel. Though a circumstance of transcendent importance, the account is surprisingly condensed Nature herself drew q veil of darkness around the scene. The seven words from the cross yield ricner gains than any morbid spinning out ox mere physical pains.
 The open tomb (Lesson x) was com verted into a bureau of information Tor the troubled disciples. White-liveried attendants were there to point them to the place where the Lord lay. and to the Rrave-clothes laid in such orderly fashion as to preclude the idea or Q nasty and clandestine removal. and to announce the blessed truth.

Brethren in SakhaIin,

H . III SdNEtdlibls
st. Petersburg, Sept. 25.-The au-
thorities here have received official re-
ports from the Siberian coast to the
effect that the Japanese are pursuing
measures which promise to result in
the ruin of the inhabitants throughout
the island of Sakhalin north and south.
The Japanese are forcing the people
to sell their property of all kinds at
absurdly low and arbitrary prices and
sign receipts for it at good prices un-
der threats of death.
The inhabitants of the southern por-
ton of the island are being forced to
emigrate and those of the northern
half are being plundered of their
houses, cattle and crops and must emf
crate, as they have nothing to live
on. AS an example of the extremity
of the Japanese methods, General Sem

onists were led into marshes by the
Japs and were there decapitated. No
great damage was done to the town
or people of Okhotsk by the Japanese
