RothschiIds Never Prosecute.

While the Bank of England makes
it point never under any circum-
stances to relinquish the prosecution
of those who have defrauded it in the
slightest degree, being willing, if need
be, to spend thousands Of pounds to
capture and prosecute people who
have robbed it of even few shillings,
the Rothschilds make it a rule never
to appeal to the courts or to the police
in such matters. Of course, they are,
like every other banker, occasionally
the victims of dishonesty, but neither
the police nor the public ever hear
about the matter. This has always
been a principle Of the heads of the
house, who take the ground that it is
better to bear the loss in silence than
to disturb popular confidence in the
safety of the concern by allowing it
tor be seen that its treasures are not
adequately safeguarded.

MoEarcF1s as LInauists.

Monarchs must know more than one
language King Edward, who trav-
eled so much, speaks French better
than some Frenchmen, and also Ger
man. The GEAR Of Russia speaks
French as well as his native tongue
and knows the numerous dialects.
Emperor William of Germany speaks
French and English correctly, and is
also well versed in Latin. The king
Of Spain, the youngest of all, speaks
German with ease and also French
and English. Because Of his marriage
he now practices the latter. The king
of Portugal speaks French, English,
German and Spanish. The king Of
Italy is a master of French and Ger
man and is also well versed in the va
rious Italian dialects.

Peru Claims kuroki.

Gen. Kuroki, the famous Japanese
soldier, has been variously described
as of Polish, Russian and German ex-
traction. Another interesting chap
ter has been added to this genealogical
symposium by an official publication
in the Official Gazette, of Lima, Peru,
which makes the claim, and submits
a plausible statement of facts to prove
it, shat Kurokis father was Peruvian
patriot whose name was Transito
CharroQui. It is also declared that
the generals father was a descendant
Of the Incas, who themselves are be-
lieved to have been descendants of an
Asiatic race, so Kuroki is an ataVism
and has come into his own in the land
of his fathers.

Senator Tillman probably earns
more money every year on the lecture
platform than any other American
who talks to the public for pay. From
an authoritative source the statement
comes that the South Carolinian's net
proceeds thus far this year from his
lecture tour are s25, 1000. Senator Till
man is paid from $3.50 to $500 lee
ture and he is constantly in demand.
His season is not confined to the sum-
merry Chautauqua course and he fills
nearly as many dates in the winter
as at any other time of the year. in
the last four years it is said that he
has laid aside over 100000 from his
lecture receipts. Henry Watterson
perhaps comes next in the matter of
earnings on the platform. Champ
Clark, of Missouri, ranks high as a
popular favorite and makes about
twice as much as lecturer as his con-
gressional salary.

Horses Still In Demand.

Happily the horse has a faculty for
upsetting the gloomy predictions that
he is fated to be put out of business
by the automobile. The horse business
has kept right on developing in spite
of the fact that the automobile indus
try has been engaged in similar un-
dertaking. The demand for horses is
still great. The supply of some
classes of them is inadequate. The
prices are high. The automobile may
scare the horse into the ditch, but
it isn't likely to crowd him to the wall.
There will always be field for the
horse, as there will always be field
for the utomobile.-Hartford Times.

make confession unto God"
This Achan had to do. This
every soul must needs do.
But confession at the Judo.
ment bar of God and confession
at the mercy seat of God are
as different as life is from
death.
The confession which in
wruns from tho unrepentant
heart brings with 1t no claim
for mercy, but the repentant
heart as it pours out its confes-
sion of guilt may claim the
promise: "If we confess our
sins God is faithful and Just to
forgive US our sins and cleanse
US from ali unriahteousness."
1t is a solemn thought that
all things are to be revealed be.
fore God. Luke 12s2-5.) 1--WE shall
all stand before the Iudument
seat of Christ. For Il is writ.
ten, AS | live, saith the Lord,
every knee shall bow to me, and
every tongue shall confess to
God. So then every one of US
shall give account of himself to
God"
Let Us fix this thought In
mind, then, o soul: That con-
fession of the hidden thinus Of
thy heart and life must be made
to God. 1t may be delayed, but
it cannot be eVaded. 1t must
come.
But when? The time, the place,
are within the choosing of every
J soul.
To-day If yeI will hear his
voice." SNOW ls the accepted
time" This is Gods cali to
confession.
His voice sounds out from the
mercy seat where Christ the
crucified one stands to blot out
, the transgressio1 and save from
, sin.
"choose you this day." viii
you unfold your. heart and life
to God and receive his mercy
and grace, or will you with re-
beIIious heart shut him out and
turn a deaf ear to his cry as
he pleads: "TUFn we, turn we,
for why will vel die?"
For such there waiteth the day
of wrath and vengeance from God.
The day of grace sinned away, the
soul must at Iast appear before
God, there to make confession
to the sins of the life and tho
heart. 1t will no longer be q
matter of choice, but of absolute
necessity, for the searching eye
Of God will discover every hid
den thing.
But oh, how vastly different
will that scene be from that
which it might have been the
privilege Of the soul to enjoy.
: No longer does the voice Of God
sound forth from his seat OF
mercy. The day Of mercy has
passed. The day of judgment
has come, and the guilty soul
can find no refuge In which to
hide. The confession is Wrung
from the unrepentant heart, and
the voice of God sounds from
the Judgment seat saying:
"Depart from me, ye that work
? iniquity."

Master of Many Languages.

Gen. Picquart, French minister Of
war, is a sort of Admiral Crichton,
for, besides wide general cultivation,
he reads, writes and speaks Russian,
German and English and Italian. Such
knowledge of language is not common
with Frenchmen, even those of educa-
ton, but Gen. Picquart's facility is ex-
planned, perhaps, by the fact that he
is an Alsatian. The Alsatians have
long been noted in France for the
readiness with which they acquire
languages.
