Firstly, men do not see their duty with
sufficient clcarness; secondly they do not
feel the obligation TO do it with sufficient
force. But there are great differences Of
opinion among thoughtful persons as to
the relative importance Of these different
sources Of wrong conduct. The commonest
opinion is disposed to lay stress on the lat
ter, the defect Of feeling or will, and even to
consider the defect of intellectual insight
as having comparatively little practical im-
portancc. It is not uncommon to hear it

Rather CONFUSING,

Nowadays the duties of clerk and
sexton are usually performed by the
same person, and an amusing story is
told OF person who. visiting a village
church and being struck by the knowl-
edge of legends and history saown by
the old man who was taking him
round, asked his guide what occupa-
ton he followed. "'Well," said thesold
man, II hardly know what I be. First
vicar he called me clerk; then another
he came, and he called me virgin: then
the last vicar said I was the Christian,
and now I be clerk again. Virgin"

Advance Thanks.

The phrase Thanking you In an
tfcipation" is now becoming common.
I think it is one of the meanest ever
invented and one of the most insult
ing, for it implies that, however much
pains the worker may take, he will get
no thanks for it afterward. Why
should he? He has been thanked al
ready. 1t further implies an imperi-
Gus and insufferable demand which
must and shah have immediate atten,
ton on pain of being considered no
gentleman. Surely no one who really
respects correspondent ought to en-
ploy this touting bagman's phrase

r0MoRR0W's BIRTHPLACE.
Line In The Pacific Where IL Shakes
Hands With Yesterday.

asHs In The Pacific Where IL Shakes
Hands With Yesterday.
Most people who have read Jules
verne'R around the World In Eighty
Days" will remember how narrowly
the traveller missed his bet, having for
gotten that In following the sun from
east to west he had gained one day.
When one crosses the Atlantic from
London to New York he gains rather
more than half an hour each day.
From New York to Chicago another
, hour is gained, another to Denver, an
ether to San Francisco, which Is reck-
oning time eight hodrs later than Lon
don and Of course the best part Of
day later than Shanghai and YokQha-
ma. In crossing the Pacific there
comes time when the day begins,
where yesterday and tomorrow shake
hands and where the traveller Is cheat
cd out Of day in his life.
In mid-Pacifc, going west, one skips
from Sunday to Tuesday. Going east
he has one day Of the week repeated
swo Sundays or Tuesdays, as the case
may be.
The line Of the changing day is not
u straight one. The islands in the Pa.
cifc take their time from the c~ntinent
with which they trade and from which
they were discovered. Thus the line
Of the change zigzags down the Pa
eific from south to north, lodging be-
tween the islands.
Hence it might easily happen that
ship which has already skipped day
would reach an island which clings to
San Francisco time. In such a case it
would be Monday on shore and Tues
day on the ship.
If the ships jolly boat were lying at
O. wharf, it would be Monday on, the
wharf and Tuesday on the boat.
And If a PRISON lives somewhere
near the line ne can get a sailboat and
visit yesterday and tomorrow in the
most delightful fashion.
