Christ and the Cities.

Henry Drummond says: "To make
cities-that is what we are here for.
To make good cities-that is for the
present hour the main work Of Chris
tianity. For the city Is strategic. 1t
makes the towns; the towns make
the villages; the villages make the
country. He who makes the city
makes the world"
DR.. George Matheson writes:
"Thou are descending, o city Of God
! see thee coming nearer and nearerd.
Tongues are dead; prophecies are
dying; but charity is born. Our cas-
ties rise into the air and vanish; but
love is bending lower every day.
Man says, Let us make tower on
earth which shall reach unto heaven,
but God says, Let us make tower
in heaven which shall reach unto the
earth o descending city, 0 humani-
tartan city, o city for the outcast and
forlorn, we hail thee, we greet thee,
we meet thee! All the isles wait for
thee-the lives riven from the main
land-the isolated, shunted, stranded
lives. They sing new song at thy
coming, and the burden of it's music
is this, He hath prepared for me a
city,
And Phillips Brooks spoke thus:
'The Christian city is not all a
dream. Already we have city which
has enough of Christ in 1t feebly to
turn away from It's gates some vices
which once came freely into the old
cities. Very far off, but still in the
same direction, we can see the city SO
completely filled with Christ that no
sin can come in, nothing that defil-
eth, neither whatsoever worketh
abomination nor maketb lie."

CIDER "A DEADLY DRINK.
Easy to Get Drunk on the Famous
Apple Beverage.

Cider, which has been singled out
for special condemnation at the an
nual conference Of the Western Tenn
perance League, was eulogiZed in
1867 by Dr.. John Beale, OF the Royal
Society, as "the richest, strongest,
the most pleasing and lasting wine
that England yet yields or Is ever
likely to yield" He made no at
tempt to palm 1t off as Temperance
drink" According as it is man
aged" he wrote, 1T proves strong
Rhenish, Barrack, yea pleasant Can
airy, sugared of itself, or as rough as
the fiercest Greek wine, holding one,
two or three years, SO that no mortal
can say at what age it is past the
best. This we can say, that we have
kept it until 1t burns as quickly as
sack, draws the flame like naptha,
and fires the stomach like aqua
vitae"
Those Of us who have seen harvest
laborers of the West country plod-
ding their way homewark in the
dusk, with miniature barrels
empty in their hands, says the Lon
don Chronicle, may be disposed to
credit the existence of the cider
drunkards now making sore the
hearts OF Somerset abstainers. For
the best man in some villages is the
man who can empty his barrel often
est. The very word "cider" sug-
gests drunkenness, even in the He
brew, where it means strong drink
It's sound and spelling are very much
alike In many tongues, and it may
have drifted down to it's present mar
row orchard meaning of getting
drunk. 1t also offers temptation to
another vice-that Of deception-for
cider, bottled before fermentation by
cunning hands, can be made to re-
semble champagne in quality-and
price.

Mr.. Bryan declined to comment on

Too Much for Him.

One day teacher Of mathematics
went shopping with his wife, says
The Washington Star He tagged
along listlessly from counter to coun-
ter until they came to the dress trim
mings department, and there he
found something in his line Said
his wife to the saleswoman:
How wide is that gold-spangled
black crepe?"
"Three-eights Of yard" said the
girl.
How much Is 1t yard?'
Three dollars"
WELL" said the professors wife,
how much Of three-eighths wide ma
terial will 1t take to put four six-inch
stripes around two and three-quar-
ter-yard skirt that Is seven inches
narrower at the knees than 1t Is at
the bottom, and how much will it
cost?"
At the first mention Of those fig
ures the professors head began to
reel, and 1t reeled still more when
his wife and the girl got out pencils
and paper and began to do their sum.
Presently his wife said:
Here, dear, you know all about
mathematics. Help us solve this
problem, won't you?'
But the professor said: excuse
me. | feel faint. l must get lit
tie fresh air." and ignominiously
fed.
Ills wife came home with exactly
the amount of material required, and
the professor took her word for It
that she didn't pay cent too much.

CAUSED DEATH MorHER-1N.LAW
Creased Steps so that She Would
Fall to Death.

Danzig, Dec. 0.-Sentence Of
death has been passen on Johann
Gaffke, a man Of AS, for the murder
In peculiar circumstances Of Frau
von' Laszewska, his prospective mo-
ther-in-law.
1t was stated in court that Gaffke
left the little bathing town of Zop-
pot, near Danzig, when he was 13
years OF age, and nothing more was
heard Of him for 80 years. When he
came back he said that he was of in
dependent means and that he had
amassed fortune in the course Of
his travels. He took lodgings at the
house Of Frau Won Laszewska, q wo-
man of good birth, but reduced cir
cumstances. Soon 1t became evident
that he was on friendly terms with
her daughter, Stephanie, beautiful
woman OF %, known in the town as
"The Marble Bride" by reason of her
pale complexion.
Frau Won Laszewska was found
; dead at the foot of the stairs in her
| home in July last, and she was duly
buried. Although Gaffke became en-
| gagged to her daughter shortly after
the funeral, some neighbors commu-
nicated their suspicious to the police
and he was arrested.
The prisoner admitted that he got
rid Of Frau Won Laszewska in order
| to obtain possession Of her savings.
He stated that he had creased the
| stairs SO that she should fall, and
| that he then attacked her with a life
| preserver.
| During the trial the prisoner said
that Frau Won Laszewska had insult
ed him by calling him an ourang-
outang. The court passed typical
| German sentence in condemning the
prisoner to DEATH, loss Of civil
rights, and payment Of all costs.
