A man from Pennsylvania went to vineland, New Jersey. on a business errand. The town was strange to him, and he was unacquainted with the man Ca lawyer> he had gone to see, The di- rections he received were so indefinite that he found himself on the edge of the town without having come to the house he sought. Then he met an old negro and asked the way of him, and learned that the house lay about a quarter of mile farther down the road. The man I want to see is a lawyer" he said to the old man. "Is this MT. Dash down the road a lawyer?" "He ain't no lawyer that I ever heard tell of" answered the negro. You're sure?" The old negro scratched his head in deep thought. Then a gleam of remem- brance lighted his eye. Now I think of it, boss" he said, "pears like I do recollect he ran for lawyer one time"

FROM GLORY TO GLORY.

This country is going from glory to glory and going fast too. The Census bureau has been looking into the growth of manufactures since 1900. The figures are big. Everything relating to manufacturing industry shows an in- crease, and, if the "cost of living" Is so high as to arouse complaint, it Is to be noted that at least some portion of the increase is due to increased cost of pro- duction and that is due, in turn, to in- creased wages as well as to higher prices for material and other charges entering into the finished product of the factories. Comparing the figures of 1905 with those of 1900, it appears that sal aries of officials and clerks are up 51.2 per cent. with an increase in the force of such employees of 41.3. The number of wage earners has increased 16.3 and the wages paid 82.S. While the number of establishments shows an increase of only 5.4 the capital invested in manu- featuring has increased 42S per cent, miscellaneous manufacturing expenses have increased 6S per cent, while the increase in cost of materials alone is 31 per cent, the increase in the value of the product being only about one per cent. greater than the latter figure.
 Onward and upward. When all the necessary laws are made and enforced this country will be the safest and best country to live in. It would be now if all the good laws we have were thor oughly enforced.

4 CHANCE FOR LARGE WORK.

Rev. Archibald McCord, of Provi- dence, Rhode Island, has resigned the pastorate of Plymouth church in that city, and he says: Before accepting this pastorate learned from the committee and from the conference minutes that the membership was 51S In this and in the divine promise to faithful work CTS I saw an inspiration and reason to hope for large work, which was the sole inducenlent to my acceptance, and in fullness of physical vigor, under the compulsions of conviction, eager with large hope and supported by an un- questioning faith, accepted your call. Soon after entering upon my york I asked for revision of the church roll, and this list of 51S, considering also re- movals of members from the city and by death, shrank to 2O6, and this in- cludes eighty added during my pastor ate
 Has Brother McCord done well to de- sert because of this disappointment, or misrepresentation, or whatever it was? Didn't the exposure of the real situa- tion give him a chance to do more and better work than the false situation did? Wouldn't 1t have been better for him to have given all concerned a good pious scolding and then gone to work and built up the church? That would have been, we should think, large" enough work for any minister.

THE SILVER FETCH.

Plain Statement of Bold Facts.
 The silver dollar is luxurious brat, and has to be hired to do the office of money. We have in this country 560,724,S56 of them worth less than 50 cent head; but by flat of law and the strength of the public credit they are good of $1 each. When the next panic comes they will operate as an endless chain" to deplete the treas ury of it's gold and necessitate another sale of bonds, unless the government shall be in the keeping of it's Jerry Simpsons and Tom Watsons, who will prmoptly set the treasury on the silver base.
 There was a lebate in Congress last Friday that illustrates what a fetich this 16-to-1 business was, and is. In 1881, when the Bland-Allison act had been the law three years, it was mani fest that the silver dollar would not circulate, and Congress proceeded to otax the people to hire it to circulate Some Solomon fathered the policy of imposing on the government the ex- pense of transporting silver dollars from pillar to post in order to get them in the hands of the people, who, our friends the silver cranks swore by all the gods that made Hector of Troy, were ready to grab them and hold them. Under the operation of that law, a firm in New Oreleans owing a firm in New York a million would order a million silver from the mint and express it to the New York firm at public expense; and so bold did the thing get to be that express companies have shipped their own money across the continent and, charged the govern ment regular rates for it. Since 1898 the government has, paid more than half a million to express companies

sPA1N,s KTsE YoUNe KING.

An eminent" but unnamed spanish statesman has been talking about King Alfonso, his marriage and the existing political situation in Spain. The king he declared to be an excellent young man, practical and well-intentioned. His political education makes daily progress. Every morning he reads the newspapers, with the most important foreign news carefully marked for him; books, also, in which the questions of the day are discussed. Already he said, Alfonso could pass good exam ination In such matters as the separa- tion between Sweden and Norway, the Austro-Hungarian dispute, the question of Church and State in France, and the recent elections in England. He has already seen more of Spain than any modern Spanish sovereign. Doubt less, if he chose he could become the absolute ruler of Spain, for the bulk Of the people are rather tired of political squabbles, and would acquiesce in q monarchy of the old type. But he is resolutely opposed to anything of the kind The part of a Ferdinand VII. has no attraction for him. He has read enough of history to know that no monarchs of the nineteenth century had so much real influence as Queen Vic toria and her husband and Leopold I. of Belgium-who never transgressed by a hairs breadth the limits of their con- stitutions. He knows that people will never be good for anything unless it has large voice in it's own govern ment. In this respect the young Queen, with her English traditions and educa- tion, will be of great help to him, &C.,

THE DECAY OF THE PARENT.

Some of the children in this neigh borhood are much encouraged by re- cent events. They have made their i'm portance and influence felt in a way that may teach old fogies something. These children will perhaps be still further encouraged by some remarks on The Decay of the Parent by London Truth. According to Truth, the parents of for- mer days possessed a fund of exper- fence which made them respected by their children, and most useful to them. The experience of the ordinary parent was obtained in circumstances which have almost wholly been replaced by others that are altogether different, and seldom applies to the new. Our standards themselves have undergone considerable alteration, and many
 principles" are now accounted as preiudices. The children who have had a modern education, whose mind is in tune with the modern style of thought, and have been influenced by modern developments, see this, and that they can teach their parents more than the latter can them. The ordinary par ents, therefore, are little else than in- teresting survivals of conditions which have mostly ceased to exist. They are opposed to motor cars; the children strive to reconcile them to these. They abominate the telephone; that they have to be accustomed to. They detest the merely rich; the prejudice has to be removed. They suspect French dishes; they have to be taught that joints are barbaric. Frivolity terrifies them; they have to be led to see that it is to be preferred to solemnity. They dread change; their fear must be dis missed. It is the children who are guiding their parents; a situation

Typewriter firms which sell machines of the visible writing variety have been having an interesting contest in the War department to ascertain which is the best machine for the signal corps. The signal corps will buy something like five hundred of the machines. It was decided to limit the contest to the class of typewriters mentioned, and there were five firms which presented their claims. One of the companies sent a young woman supposed to be the fastest writer on the machine in the country. She amazed the government operators by the speed with which she rattled off the sentences given to her. On one occasion, when familiar materi- al was dictated, she achieved 25O words Q minute. She was able to write on the machine and correct as she went along as rapidly as person could read to her distinctly.
