The embarrassment of the under

Of receiver for the readjustment of

be due to the sharp competition Of
the motor buses and cheap cabs that

explanation isn't altogether incom-
prehensible even from this somewhat
remote distance. For passengers who

lizard Times"

II must be admitted that after a
period of prosperity which has been
unequaled both in duration and de-
gree, the country is now experiencing
an industrial and financial depression
which comes near to being genuine
hard times" In great many places
large numbers of men are unemployed.
1t is reported that 100000 are out OF
work IN New York city alone, and
throughout the country at large there
prevails a general feeling of uneasi-
ness which is at once a sign OF bust
ness depression and a potent cause of
it. In this situation it may be cheer
ing and wholesome to recall certain
facts which differentiate the present
conditions from those which usually
precede or accompany hard times, and
certain other facts which are true of
all periods of depression.
Material conditions at present are
all hopeful. Crops have been and are
good, and many lines Of manufacture
ing, like the iron and steel business,
are in normal and healthy condition.
These things are usually quite other
wise in times of pronounced dulness.
Moreover it ought not to be forgotten
that the real wealth of a country in
creases faster during hard times than
in any other period. Men are not only
driven to work harder, and therefore
TO produce more, by the fear of being
thrown out of work, but they save
more. LuXuries are discarded; old
clothes are made to do duty little
longer; purchases are fitted to income
rather than to desire. Undertakings
which involve risk are made to wait
more convenient season, and the coun-
try as a whole energies from the
period Of depression with greatly in
creased resources. to enter upon an era
of prosperity which will be somewhat
proportionate in length and intensity
to the duration and depth of the de-
preston which preceded it. This is
the silver lining on which it is well to
keep ones eyes. The country has suf-
fered no serious wound, says the
Youths Companion, it has no fatal dis
ease. Rather is it in the condition Of
man whose pulse has been arrested
for moment by a sudden fright.
There is blood enough in the body
good, healthy blood-and it will soon
start flowing again in its normal chan
nels.

Ruskin, it is said, has written more
sentences Of inordinate length than
any other classic writer of modern
English prose. Frederic Harrison
some years ago counted the words in
a number of typical sentences, finding
that in the earlier books it was no un-
common thing for Ruskin to run
beyond the page before permitting
himself and his readers the relief of a
full stop. But in every case the sense
is clear as day. Wordsworths poem
On the Character of the Happy War
rior' is notable example of sustained
connections. Apart from the opening
and closing couplets, the poem con-
sists of two very long compound SEN
fences almost entirely comprised of
adjectival clauses. The longer of the
two sentences contains 81 decasyllabic
lines. This is probably a record in
English verse.

among the rich young men of this country to-day it

The progress of Liberalism in religion
is of the greatest possible interest to me.
Nothing has more tended to retard the
progress OF mankind than the tolerance
manifested toward ideas which have long
since been recognized as dead among men
who are always looking for the advent of
greater light on the real issues of life. Re-
spect for the hoary head is an excellent viz

aged is entitled to due regard and esteem.
But it ceases to be virtue to worship that
which has only age to recommend it. Re-
