1.-THE Confederate Colonel"

No class of men in the world have
better manners than the southern gen.
, tleman. The type of this class is a
dignified man, who insists upon being
treated with respect, but who always
comedies to others that which he de.
mands from them. He Is deferential
In his manner and assumes that the
customs and views Of others are en-
titled to respect. In intercourse with
a Spaniard the typical confederate
colonel would never by word or ges-
ture intimate that he considered him.
self in any respect the superior of the
gentleman with whom he might be
talking or that his business methods
were more modern. In other words,
the southern colonel" has charming
manners. and what was written by
Native of New England" was to say
in effect that good manners are q bust

Copy of Rare Bible.

In Wolfenbuttel, Hesse, Germany,
is an old bible which Is greatly treas
ured. In that passage in Gene.
sis where God told Eve that
Adam shall be her master and shall
rule over her, the German translation
is "Und er soil diem herr sein." Herr.
which means master, does not occur
In this bible, but instead there an.
pears the word "narr," which means
fool. The error was caused by a quar-.
rel between the printer and his wife
In the year 1850. The wife was venge.
full and In the silent watches OF the
night she entered the room where her
husband had been setting type and
maliciously changed herr" into
MARI" The printer was arrested az
ter the book had been printed and
the mistake discovered; but his ap
prentice testified that he saw the wife
steal into the composing room and al
ter the word. The woman was i'm
prisoned for blasphemy and died In
prison. Orders were given that all
the copies of the edition should be
destroyed. This was done, with the
exception of the one copy in the Wolf
enbuttel library.

THE CURE FOR WORRY.
q Suggestion That He or She Q!
Wrinkled Brow Should Consider.

Can worry be avoided or overcome?
Is the disease durable without divine
interposition? Undoubtedly, II the
theory of thought-transference be ac.
cepted as indeed an established sci
entiflc fact, because surely an image
tending upward can be communicated
as freely-if not, in faa., with great.
er readiness, because OF the larger re-
captivity for that which is pleasing
as an image tending downward. Thus.
clearly, there may be brought into ac-
ton for success those very forces
which worry excites for ruin-forces
which may or may not be irr stible,
but certainly are, as the wise doctor
observes, the most potent of earthly
life, and, consequently, all that we
poor humans can summon to our aid,

stantly annoy the Almighty by be.

invariably they are more serious than
any others can possibly be; but the
mere certainty that, II God should
stamp them out personally, instead of
leaving such work, as he does and
ought, ~ nature, other trials of no
less consequence would promptly
arise. shows clearly enough that, in
reality. all individual tribulation Is
trifling.
Occasional reflection upon this great
truth will do much to drive away the
bad fairy and open the way out of de.
spondency; but better yet is constant
realization that one can do for either
himself or others only that which lies
within him to perform, and, having
satisfied himself on that score, he pos.
sesses an inalienable right to disre.
gard all possible consequences, and
need give them no more consideration
than sagacious person accords idle
speculation as to whether, when he
awakes, he will find himself in heaven

There was lady who from her

THE JINGOES AT WORK.

The Jingoes in the United States
and Japan are doing their best TO
stir up war sentiment. When a
loud-mouthed Japanese booster is-
sues a challenge it is taken up by
some staggering American and
threats are tossed back and forth
across the ocean. What occasion
is there for war or war talk? If
any japanese has suffered violence
our courts are open to him; no for.
eigner will be denied redress for
any injury he may suffer Japan
has no complaint against us and we
have no complaint against her.
Why this massing of our fleet on
the Pacific' Is it just to show ia
pan what we could do? If so it is
a bombastic display unworthy Of
us; if it has no connection with the
japanese question it is unpatriotic
for sensational papers to represent
it as an evidence of either hostility
or fear. In both countries the ad-
vocates of large navy will seize
Upon the incident as an excuse for
demanding more war ships, but to
just and peace-loving citizens the
situation ought to be a warning
against the military spirit which a
large navy develops. 1t is popular
just now to urge shooting galleries,
rifle ranges and big battleships as
peace promoters, but it is as absurd
to expect these things to bring
peace as it would be to expect per-
sonal encounters to be decreased by
the teaching of prize fighting in the
public schools.
Man is not yet sufficiently ad-
vanced to have power without
yielding to the temptation to use il.
1t has been wisely remarked that
only the burglar needs burglar
tools. If Our nation intends to re-
spect the rights of other nations it
does not need "the biggest navy in
the world" Our resources are
well known; if we are ever unjustly
attacked we can prove our power
of resistance, but the chances of at
tackiare very remote and nothing
is more apt to provoke an attack
than the parading of our prepared

Gently from all over the country as
to the quality of post cards and

Does ChurCh-going Cost Too Much ?


To many people in our cities reg
ular church going is virtually out
of the question because of its ex-
pensiveness. They are people who
need the church. Many of them
desire to go to church. Some of
them have been church members in
rural communities where church
going was not an expensive luxu-
ry. They are the very class of
people whom the churches need
most. The majority of people for
whom church going, in our cities,
is too costly are bright young men
and women, with brains sufficient
to appreciate good preaching, and
with personal gifts that would make
them useful in church work if they
could afford to have a church home.
Their salaries are not large enough
to enable them to afford to go to
church regularly, and they are too
self-respecting to be tramps wan
dering from one sanctuary to an
other. So, in spite of early relig-
ious training and real religious as
pirations, they cease to go to
church.
Church sittings in the residence
sections of cities are fairly high
priced; but they are only a part of
the expense. There is long list
of regular causes for which contri-
buttons are asked, expected, and
almost required. The church so.
cieties and Entertainments" must
also be supported. The class of
young people whom we have men
toned cannot do what is asked and
expected of them without paying
and giving nearly or quite as much
as those who are the possessors of
at least moderate incomes. They
cannot stand the strain, especially
if they are married and have home
to hire and furnish and little chill
dren to feed and clothe and educate.
No one knows the undue expen-
siveness of church going for city
people on average salaries better
than some faithful and Jealous pas
tors do. They know only too we'll
what multitudes who should be the
very bone and sinew of the church
do not so to church at all, or only
so irregularly. The expensiveness
of church going is real obstacle
to the increase of the kingdom of
God.
One of the causes of the undue
expense is that there are too many
churches. They should be fewer
in number and of larger seating ca
pacity. The sittings should be
free, or put at prices within the
reach of the multitude. The nu-
merous collections for cause" ["
should somehow be reduced. The
causes are all right, but the money
for them should not be obtained i'll
the public congregations.
