Looking Beyond.

Whatever be your condition or call
Ing In life, keep in view the whole of
your existence. Act not for the little
span of time allotted you in this world
but act for eternity. Look beyond the
narrow limits of earth, to the scenes of
that eternal world to which you are
going, and ever aim to do what will
promote your best interests, ten thou
sand ages hence when all the riches
and honors of earth shall have vanish
ed away. Then shall you rise superior
TO every false, unworthy principle OF
action, and attain the true dignity and
happiness of intelligent beings. Then
shall you be safe amid all temptations,
and happy amid all trlals.-Rev. r. S.
Johnson.

Helping an Invalid.

A trained nurse mentions as among
the little things that help make an in
valid feel comfortable and rested the
frequent brushing of the hair and bath
ing of the hands and face. II don't
know what it is, whether these actions
just divert the invalid's mind or really
do effect some physical change for this
better, but they certainly help the sick
one to get through the day. Eau de
cologne and the various toilet waters
are very refreshing when added to the
water or used independently. / once
heard a man say that If he couldn't
both wash his hands and face and
comb his hair In the morning when he
got up he would choose to comb his
hair. 1t would wake him up better.
He felt something of the same sense
of physical comfort as the average
or invalid"

Biggest House on Earth.

A gigantic globe tower, the biggest
building in the world, is in course Of
erection on Coney Island. 1t will be
700 feet high and 900 feet in circum-
ference. 1t will have eleven floors and
100000 square feet of floor space.
On these eleven floors there will be
all sorts of things to amuse Coney's
millions of summer visitors, but the
star feature of them all will be the
revolving restaurant and cafe, first Of
the kind in the world.
If you are facing north when your
oysters are served you will be looking
west for the soup and south when the
roast arrives. By the time the coffee
and cigars come on you will be back
north again. In half an hour you will
have travelled 900 feet around a great
circle, or thirty feet a minute.
The ground floor will be an automo-
bile garage. Just 80 feet above the
ground will be the pedestal roof gar
den, 900 feet in circumference. When
you get 250 feet in the air you will
come to the aerial hlppodrome. Here
there will be continuous Touring
circus.
The main hall and revolving cafe Will
be 300 feet above the GROUND, circling
around the great ball room. Another
fifty feet and you come to the palm gar

Keeping presse. Fresh.

And of His grace I'll sing,
Who gave for me His only Son,
My Prophet, Priest and King.

Christ the Friend.

The devout heart yearns after a per-
sonal God. Its instructive desire Is for
a Father and a Frlend-a loving ear
into which Its sorrows may be poured,
a loving heart on which its WEAKNESS
may rest. This deep-felt want Of our
natures is most fully met In the per-
son Of Jesus Christ. For here Is One
whom, while we reverence and adore
as God, we ca nthink of as clearly and
love as simply, trustlngly, tenderly, as

GREENE-aAYNoR CASE UP.
Argued in United States Circuit Court
Of Appeals

NEW ORLEANS, April 2.-Entering it's
jamin D. Greene and John F. Gaynor, con-
victed of defrauding the government Of
over $4,000 in Savannah harbor improve
ments, was called for argument yesterday in
the United States circuit court of appeals
upon a writ of error from the federal court
at Savannah. A. A. Lawrence of counsel
for Greene and Gaynor occupied the entire
session and had not concluded argument
when court adjourned for the day
demurrer to the first Indictment for
conspiracy was argued 1t was pointed out
that when this indictment came up before
Judge Brown Of New York he condemned
the first eight out Of the ten counts while
later, when the same Indictment came up
before Judge, Speer Of Savannah, the latter
condemned the two counts which Judge
Brown had sustained, though sustaining the
eight counts which Judge Brown had con-
demned.
Next the famous extradition of Greene
and Gaynpr was attacked. 1t was argued
that they were extradited from Canada for
participation In fraud by an agent or trus-
tee. In Savannah, however, Mr.. Lawrence
said, they were tried upon charge of con-
spiracy, and this amounted to trying them
for a different offense than they were extra
dited for.
AS for their indictment for. embezzlement,
it was claimed that the proof In the Sa-
vannah court showed that the alleged pay
ment of money for their use occurred in
New York city. The defense commended,
therefore, that only the courts of the south
ern district of New York had jurisdiction
in the embezZement charge.
The last point in the days argument was
the use of at least carload of books of
brokers, trust companies, etc, which the
government introduced into evidence at
Savannah, the defense claimed, without
either introducing the persons who made
the entries or proving their death or mac
feasibility.
