HEBREW POETRY IN EARNEST.

Hebrew poetry has power over our
feelings because it is always in dead
earnest. There is no play-acting here.
When one sees or reads Hamlet, or
Macbeth, or King Lear, one is absorb
ed in the distress and suffering; but
always behind the absorption is the
sense of detachment from real affairs
Unconsciously we feel that we can
afford to take part by imagination in
the suffering, because after all it is
not real. To understand and appre-
ciate the poetry of the Old Testament
one must remember that it is always
real. The sufferings, or the joy, or the
faith are the experience of real men
uttering forth the depths of their soul.
Their poetry mad always the direct
and practical purpose of unburdening
real feeling: there is no make-believe
here. Even in Job the apparent form
of drama is the thinnest of masks
for the deep and real feelings which
lie underneath. The books is not an
effort of the author to imagine how
such a man as Job, suffering such
trials, would have felt, but rather
the expression of actual distress over
the HOPELESS plight of his people The
mental tortures under which Job
writhes are therefore those of real
people in real and narrowing perplex-
ity; and the overwhelming power Of
the answer of the Almighty, the di-
rect witness of a faith which could
not be daunted by the most grievous
trials.-J. H. Gardiner in Atlantic.

WHY CANOES ARE EXPENSIVE.

Canoes are cut from the stones
onyx and sardonyx. This stone is pre-
ferred for canoes because of its hard
ness and durability and is suitable
for such work, owing to the fact that
it comes in layers of contrasting col
ors, as black and white, black and
cream or red and white. When the cut
figure is sunk into the stone instead of
being raised the cutting is called an
intaglio. The cost of these gems is due
to the time and skill required in the
work. Formerly small gem might
occupy an artist for a year or more,
but with modern appliances the work
can be done more rapidly.

A Pathetic Case.

A prominent lawyer of Bradford
N. H., suspected his colored servant
of tampering with a certain brand of
fine whisky in his wine cellar. The
employer decided to adopt measures
to verify his suspicious. He allowed
the demijohn holding his private
stock to become empty, and then,
instead of reflling it, placed the re-
mainder in bottles and labeled each
one poison
one evening, on returning home
unexpectedly, he found his servant
with one of his bottles. Selling the
bottle from the darky's hand, he ex-
claimed, in a tone of terror:
Great heaven, Sam! Do YOU
know what you have been doing =?
Ihls bottle is marked poison"
The negro took the bottle and sur
Veyed it closely. Then he shifted at
it. A melancholy smile passed over
his dusky countenance, and he re-
piled:
Use been fooled again"
~6"in' repeated MS mas
ter. What do you mean?"
Wen, sah,' continued the darby.
in the same tone, 'it am dis way.
| knowed from de first, from de way
you acted bout dat demijohn, dat
you had yo suspishuns OBJ me; and
dat sho made me feel pretty blue. I
got distressed, an didn't care. Why,

with 5 per cent for the preceding six months

Potatoes, Onion. and vegetables.

Potatoes continue to arrive freely from the
river districts. the average daily arrivals ap-
proximating 5000 sacks, and the market re-
mains weak, due chiefly to the fact that the
wharves must be kept clear, which means that
the stock must be sold quickly. Salinas and Ore
gon Burbanks are still neglected. but the re-
celyers are not trying to urge sales. There is
nothing new to report in Onions.
The feature of the vegetable market was a
sharp break in prices of Tomatoes. Dealers
were holding out for fancy prices in the early
trade, but were obliged to cut to effect sales
ana there was a heavy surplus unsold at the
close. The other vegetables were generally
firm.
