Evolution and Immortality.

There is an element in evolution which endears it to me and to every man: I think it throws bright gleams on the question of immortality. l see that the unfolding series in this world are all the time from lower to high CT, that the idea is not reached at any point. that the leaf works toward the bud, and the bud toward the blossom, and the blossom toward the tree, and that in the whole experience of hu- man nature, and in the whole economy of the providence of God in regard to the physical world, everything is on the march upward and onward. And one thing is very certain, that neither in the individual nor in the collective mass has the intimation of God in the human conscience verified and fulfilled itself. The imperfection shows that we are not much further than the bud !; somewhere we have right to pre- science of the blossom.-Ienry Ward Beecher.

Oriqinal St. Sophia,

One of the most interesting of Sa- loniki's famous % churches is St. Sophia. Like it's greater homonym of Constantinople, the National Geo. graphic Magazine observes, it is a domed basilica, and it was long con sidered to be a provincial copy of that great original. AS a matter of fact, the Saloniki church is the original, having been built a hundred years or more the earlier. at the end of the fourth or the beginning of the fifth century. The church has suffered dis astrously by fire, earthquake and restoration. but the original lines of the structure remain, as well as the pillars and beautiful capitals of wind blown acanthus, and two fine frag- ments of mosaic. The principal mosa- ic, an Ascension, with decorative green trees between the standing figures, lines the great dome. It is supposed to date from 645, though the figure of Christ in the center is older still.

Proper View of Life.

Why is it, l wonder. that the little boy almost always imagines that out side of home is to be found the larger liberty? Why do young men fondly dream that wonder, always wonder, is to be found business opportunity? Why does the dissolute man conclude that, outside the common virtues of society, he is to find the larger life? For you. my son, will sometime find that your largest liberty was in the old home, where. if there was author ity, there was also deep and abiding love; and you, my friend, will find that others succeeded in your home town. while you failed in the world i; and you, my liberty-loving man, will most surely realize, that in the con- mon virtues of the simply good life is to be found what you seek in the by-paths of the world. Find the wealth that lies everywhere about you. Prac- tice the virtues that you know. Cher ish the love that is yours now. Value the friends that you have known; and in the superficial you will find the profound, and in the simple things the things eternal.-St. Johns Bulle- tin.

When the Tongue Is Coated.

Time was when a coated tongue was associated only with impaired diges- tive organs. but science has now found that many other things beside diges- tive troubles may produce marked changes in the appearance of the tongue. If the base of the skull is fractured. the tongue will acquire a heavy coating. This fdct leads to tine belief that various disturbances of the nerves affect the appearance of the tongue. Therefore, if your tongue is furred. don't jump to the conclusion that your stomach is upset; it is just as likely that your nerves are upset by overwork, eye-strain, lack of sleep or the multitude of other causes that ef- feet the nerves.

 A dainty novelty in the line of edi- bles has recently been put on the shelves of a little speciality shop in New York This is small round car ton of alfalfa honey, gathered entire ly from alfalfa. The carton has a quaint little inscription and stout red sash around it, and on the top is conventionalized hoe in yellow and black, as a decorative copyright de- vice. The honey is especially delect- able.
 Cabbages, which a year ago were sold at S6 ton, are this year quoted in the United States at SS0 With this announcement comes the statement that the stock of cabbages is larger now than year ago, but that they are all in the hands of speculators, who are holding them for still higher prices. It is, it seems, now time for those who have learned to do without eggs and butter to make similar ar engagements with regard to cabbage.
