France’s new prison af Frcsnes. some
eight miles from Paris, is the largest
in the world.
. Andrew Carnegie intends to erect a
monument to Janies G. Blaine at Pitts
burg, probably in Schenley Park, near
the Carnegie Institute.
A memorial of Rosa Bonheur, pre
sented by Senor Gambart, the Span
ish consul at Nice, has been unveiled
at Fontainebleau, near which town she
dwelt for many years. The memorial
consists of a bronze bull, an enlarged
fac-simile of one of her sculptures; the
bas-reliefs of the pedestal give her
portrait and representations of three
of her principal paintings.
The women of the Gorman city of
Magdeburg will honor the memory of
Queen Louise by the erection of a
statue of the venerated queen. Jo
hannes Goetz was intrusted with the
task of creating in Carrara marble the
figure of the beautiful queen. The fig
ure stands on a massive cubical base,
bearing on one side the inscription:
"Gouise, Queen of Prussia," and on the
opposite side: "Dedicated by the wo
men of Magdeburg."
State Geologist Dumble of Texas has
disclosed sources of mineral wealth
that are astounding. He says that in
one county alone, (hat of Cherokee,
there are 600,000,000 tons of rich iron
ore In sight, and that in east Texas,
as a whole, there are 3,000,000,000 tons.
And by the side of this ore lies all the
coal necessary to work the ore into
shape. The geologist makes the fiat
statement that "no country in the
world has cheaper material for smelt
ing iron than east Texas."
In order to appreciate the extreme
democracy of the people in the south
east of Europe, it may be mentioned
that Mme. Karaveloff, wife of the
prime minister of Bulgaria, continues
to pursue her avocation as school
teacher, and every morning when her
husband leaves home to attend to his
duties as premier she takes her de
parture for the public grammar school
to fulfill her duties as one of the
teachers. She is a very remarkable
woman, and has been imprisoned and
tried on charges of treason and of lese
majeste while the political foes of her
husband were in office.
Now that Rostand’s play, "L’Aig
ion,” has aroused so much interest in
the melancholy story of Napoleon’s
son. there will be some interest in the
death of the last considerable actor in
the abortive conspiracy to restore the
empire with the Duke of Reiehstadt in
his father’s place. This person was
Varabowskl, a Pole, who was a lieuten
ant in the grand army and fought at
Waterloo. The conspirators in 1822
took possession of several towns in the
west of France in the name of Napo
leon II., but at Saumur the movement
was stopped and the small force they
had gathered rapidly scattered, Vara
bowski escaped and returned to Po
land. where he has just died at War
saw, at the age of 105 years.
The '■brown-tailed" caterpillar lias
been officially considered by the Bos
ton board of health, whose members
are ready to acknowledge that this pest
can produce the skin irritation com
plained of by some residents in the
suburbs of that city. The insect is
destructive of fruit trees. The hair of
the worm is brittle and barbed, and
its action on the skin is regarded as
purely mechanical, rather than poison
ous It is yet to be determined wheth
er actual contact with the worm is
necessary to cause the irritation, or
whether this may result through the
blowing about of the hair or fur by
the winds. The doctors incline to the
latter belief. However produced, the
irritation and resultant sickness are
described as being severe.
King Carlos of Portugal has become
passionately devoted to yacht racing
and has announced his decision to
have a racing yacht buiit for the ex
press purpose of enabling him to win
hack from the English Royal Yacht
Squadron the Vasco de Gama Cup in
the third international lace, which
lakes place next year over a course ex
tending from Southampton to Lisbon,
that is across the dangerous Bay of
Biscay. The king is now in consulta
tion with naval architects with icgard
to the designs for his new' racing
yacht, and is disposed to have the lat
ter built in the United States, rather
than in England, the victories of the
American defenders of the America
Cup and the recent mishaps to the
Shamrock inclining him to the belief
that boats built on this side of the At
lantic unite n greater degree of
strength, with lightness and delicacy
of lines, than those of English con
struction and design._
It cannot he too often repeated that
the- secret of Gorman success in so
'many branches of human activity Is
specialization. And it ipsy fairly be
asked whether in many rases they do
not "pay too much for tnelr whistle."
The days are long gone by when Schil
ler could venture to condemn the ex

"bread-and-butter" studies. Nowadays
nearly every one in Germany keeps
“bread and butter" steadily In view.
The next generation of Germans will
be even more specialized than their
fathers.

‘‘The fame Hour Hie Tj*Idr fill

(irau as Oxen” Dm. IV: 33.
(Copyright. 1901, by Louis Klopsch. N T.
Washington, July 2t.—In this dis
course Dr. Taimage shows that there
is a tendency to excuse brilliant faults
because they are brilliant, whpn the
same law of .right and wrong ought to
be applied to high places and low;
text, Daniel iv, 33, "The same hour
was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchad
nezzar. and he was driven from men (
and did not eat grass as oxen."
Here is the mightiest of the Baby
lonish kings. Ix>ok at him He did
more for the grandeur of the capital
than did all his predecessors or suc
cessors. Hanging gardens, reservoirs,
aqueduct, palace, all of his own plan
ning. The bricks that are brought up
today from the ruins of Babylon have
his name on them. "Nebuchadnezzar,
son of Nabopolassor. king of Babylon."
He was a great conqueror. He stretch
ed forth his spear toward a nation,
and It surrendered. But he plundered
the temple of the true God. He lifted
an idol, Bel Merodaeh, and compelled
the people to bow down before it. and
if they refused they must go through
the red hot furnace or be crunched
by lion or lioness. So God pulled him
down.
He was smitten with what physi
cians call lycanthropy ami fancied that
he was a wild beast, and he went out
and pastured amid the cattle, God did
rot excuse him because he committed
the ain in high places or because the
transgressor was wide resounding. He
measured Nebuchadnezzar in high
places just as he would measure the
humblest captive.
But in our time you know as well
as I that there is a disposition to put
a halo around iniquity if it Is commit
ted in conspicuous place and if it is
wide resounding and of large propor
tions. Ever and anon there has been
an epidemic of crime in high places,
and there is not a state or city and
hardly a village which has not been
called to look upon astounding for
gery or an absconding bank cashier or
president or the wasting of trust fund
or swindling mortgages. I propose in
carrying out the suggestion of my text
as far as I can, to scatter the fascina
tions around iniquity and show you
that sin is sin and wrong is wrong
whether in high place or low place and
that it will be dealt with by that God
who dealt with impalaced Nebuchad
i nezzar.
NetMln to ll« rreiratnl.
A missionary in the island of the j
Pacific preached one Sabbath on lion- I
esty and dishonesty, and on Monday
he found his yard full of all styles of
goods, which the natives had brought.
He could not understand it until a na
tive told him. "Our gods permit us to
purloin goods, but the God you told
us about yesterday, the God of bea- j
ven and earth, it seems, is against i
these practices, and so we brought all
the goods that do not belong to us, and j
they are in the yard, and we want you j
to help us distribute them among their
rightful owners." And if in all the |
pulpits of the United States today rous- j
ing sermons could be preached on
honesty and the evils of dishonesty and
the sermons were b'essed of God and [
arrangements could be made by which
al! the goods which have been improp
erly taken from one man and appro- ,
priated by another man should lie put \
in the city halls of the country there 1
is not a city hall in the United States
that would not be crowded from cellar
to cupola. Kaith of the gospel; that
wFe must preach and we do preach.
Morality of the gospel we must just as
certainly proclaim.
Now,look abroad and see the fascina
tions that are thrown around different ■
styles of crime. The question that
every man and woman has been asked
lias been, Should crime he excused be
cause it is on a large scale? Is iniquity
guilty and to bo pursued of the law in
proportion as it is on a small scale?
Shall we have the penitentiary for
the man who steals an overcoat from
a hatrack and all Canada for a man to
range in if he have robbed the public (
of millions?
Tli© Way to tiat Monay*
There has been an irresistible im
pression going abroad niuong young
men that the poorest way to get money
is to earn it. The young man of flaunt
ing cravat says to the young man of
humble appearance: "What, you only
get $1.S00 a year? Why, that wouldn’t
keep me in pin money. I spend $5,000
a year." "Where do you get it?" asks
the plain young man. "Oh. stocks, en
terprises -all that sort of tiling, you
know.” • The plain young man has
hardly enough money to pay his board
and has to wear clothes after they are
out of fashion and deny himself all
luxuries. After awhile he gets tired of
his plodding and he goes to the man
who has achieved suddenly large es
tate, and he says, "Just show me how
it is done.” And he is shown. He
soon learns how, and. although he Is
almost ail the time idle now and has
resigned his position in the bank or
the factory or the store, he has more
money than he ever ha I, trades off his
old sliver watch for a gold one with a
flashing chain, sets his hat a little far
ther over on the side of his head than
he ever did, smokes better cigars and
more of them. He has his hau 1 in!
Now, if lie can escape the penitentiary
for three or four years he will get into
. political circles and he will get po itl
! cal Jobs and will bare something to do
I
with harbors and pavements and docks.
Now he has got so far along he Is
safe for perdition. j
It is quite a long road sometimes for
i man to travel before lie gets Into
the romance of crime. Those are |
caught who are only in the prosaic
stage of it. If the sheriffs and con
stables would only leav.- them alone a
ittle while, they would steal as well
as anybody. They might not b’ able
to steal a whole railroad, but they
could master a load of pig iron.
New, 1 always thank God when I find
an estate like that go to smash. It
is plague struck, and it blasts the na
tion. I thank Clod when it goes into
such a wreck it can never be gathered
up again. I want it to become so loath
some and such an insufferable stench
that honest young men will take warn
ing. If Clod should put into money or
its representative the capacity to go
to its lawful owner, there would not
be a bank or a safety deposit in the
United States whose walls would not
be blown out and mortgages wonld rip
and parchments would rend and gold
would shoot and beggars would get on
horseback and stock gamblers would
go to the almshouse.
The Temptations to Dishonesty.
How many dishonesties In the mak
ing out of invoices and in the plaster- I
ing of false labels and in the filching :
of ( ustomers of rival houses and in the
making and breaking of contracts!
Young men are Indoctrinated in the
idea that the sootier they get money
the better, and the getting of it on a
larger scale only proves to them their
greater ingenuity. There is a glitter
thrown around about all these things.
Young men have got to find out that
God looks upon sin in a very different
light.
A young man stood behnd a counter
in New York selling silks to a lady,
and he said before the sale was con
summated. "I see there is a flaw In
that silk." The lady recognized it, and
the sale was not consummated. The
head man of the firm, saw the inter
view, and he wrote home to the father
of the young man, living in the coun
try. saying: 'Dear sir, come and take
your boy. He will never make a mer
chant." The father came down from
the country home in great consterna
tion, as any father would, wondering
what his son had done. He came into
the store, and the merchant said to
him, "Why, your son pointed out a
flaw in some silk the other day and
spoiled the sale and we will never have
that lady probably again for a cus
tomer, and your son will never make
a merchant." “Is that all?" said the
father. "I am proud of him. I wouldn't
for the world have him another day
under your influence. John, get your
hat and coat; let us start." There are
hundreds of young men under the pres
sure. under the fascinations thrown
around about commercial iniquity.
Thousands of young men have gone
down under the pressure; other thou
sands have maintained their integrity.
God help you! Let me say to you, my
young friend, that you never can be
happy in a prosperity which comes
from ill gotten gains. "Oh," you say,
"I might lose my place. It is easy for
you to stand there and talk, but it is
no easy thing to get a place when you
have lost it. Besides that, I have a
widowed mother depending upon my
exertions, and you must not be too
reckless in giving advice to me." Ah,
my young friend. It Is always safe to
do right, but it is never safe to do
wrong. You go home and tell your
mother the pressure under which you
are in that store, and I know
what she will say to you, if
she is worthy of you. She will
say: "My son. come out from there.
God has taken care of us all these
years, and he will take care of us
now. f'ome out of that."
MUimo of Trust Funds.
Oh, there is such a fearful fascina
tion in this day about the use of trust
funds, it has got to be popular to take
the funds of others and speculate with
them. There are many who are prac
ticing that iniquity. Almost every man
in the course of his life has the prop
erty of others put in his care. He has
administered, perhaps, for a dead
friend; he is an attorney, and money
passes from debtor to creditor through
his hands; or he is in a commercial
establishment and gets a salary for
the discharge of his responsibilities; or
he is treasurer of a philanthropic insti
tution, and money for the suffering
goes through his hands; or lie has
some office in city or state or nation,
and taxes and subsidies and supplies
and salaries are in his hands. Now,
that is a trust. That is as sacred a
trust as God can give a man. it is
the concentration of confidence. Now,
when that man takes that money, the
money of others, and goes to speculat
ing with it for iiis own purposes, lie is
guilty of theft. falsehood and perjury
and in the most intense sense of the
word is a miscreant.
There are families today- widows
and orphans—with nothing between
them awL starvation but a sewing raa
| chine, or kept out of the vortex by
i the thread of a needle red with the
blood of their hearts, «'ho wore by fa

You read the story in the newspaper
of those who have lost by a bank de
falcation, and it is only one line, the
name of a woman you never heard of,
and just one or two figures telling the
I amount of stock she had, the number
of shares, it is a very short line in a
newspaper, but it is a line of agony
long as time; it is a story long as eter
; nity.
Hunger* of MbirtliiUm.
So there lias been a great deal of
fascination thrown around libertinism.
I Society is very severe upon the impur
ity that lurks around the alleys and
| low haunts of the town. The law pur
sues it. smites it. incarcerates it. tiles
to destroy it. You know as well as I
that society becomes lenient in propor
tion as impurity becomes affluent or is
in elevated circles, and finally society
Is silent or disposed to palliate. Where
is the judge, the Jury, the police officer
that dare arraign the wealthy liber
tine? He walks the streets, he rides
the parks, he flaunt.) his iniquity In
the eyes of the pure. The hag of un
cleanness looks out of the tapestried
window. Where is the law that dares
take the brazen wretches and put their
faces In an iron frame of a state pris
on window?
Sometimes it seems to me as if so
ciety were going back to the state of
moralsof Herculaneum, when it sculpt
ured Its vileness on pillars and temple
wall and nothing hut the lava of a
burning mountain could hide the im
mensity of crime. At what time God
will rise up and extirpate these evils
upon society I know not. nor whether
he will do it by fire or hurricane or
earthquake; but a holy God 1 do not
think will stand it much longer. 1
believe the thunderbolts arc hissing
hot and that when God comes to chas
tise the community for these sins,
against which lie has uttered himself
more bitterly than against any other,
the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah will
he tolerable as compared with the fate
of our modern society, which knew
better, but did worse.
Ih© Siicndnroi of I lf©.
Then look at the fascinations thrown
around assassination. There are in all
communities men who have taken the
iivcj of others unlawfully, not as exe
cutioners of the law, and they go scot
free. You say they had their provoca
tions. God gave life, and he alone has
a right to take it, and he may take it
by visitation of providence or by an
executioner of the law, who is his
messenger. But when a man assumes
that divine prerogative he touches the
lowest depth of crime.
Society is alert for certain kinds of
murder. If a citizen going along the
road at night is waylaid and slain by
a robber, we all want the villain ar
rested and executed. For all garroting,
for all beating out of life by a club or
an ax or a slungshot, the law has quick
spring and heavy stroke, but you
know that when men get affluent and
high position and they avenge their
wrongs by taking the lives of others,
great sympathy is excited, lawyers
plead, ladies weep, judge halts, jury is
bribed and the man goes free. If the
verdict happen to be against him, a
new' trial is called on through some
technicality and they adjourn for
witnesses that never come, and ad
journ and adjourn until the commun
ity has forgotten all about it, aud then
the prison door opens and the murder
er goes free.
Now% if capital punishment be right,
1 say let the life of the polished mur
derer go with the life of the vulgar as
sassin. I.et us have no partiality of
gailows, no aristocracy of electro
cution chair. Do not let us float back
to barbarism, when every man was
his own judge, Jury and executioner,
and that mart had the supremacy who
had the sharpest knife and the strong
est arm and the quickest step and the
stealthiest revenge. He who willfully
and in hatted takes the life of another
is a murderer, 1 rate not what the
provocation or the circumstances. He
may hr? cleared by an enthusiastic
courtroom, he may be sent by the gov
ernment of the United States as minis
ter to some foreign court, or modern
literature may polish the crime until
it looks like heroism; but in the sight
of God murder is murder, and the
judgment day will so reveal it.
Some Plain Ouentiona.
There are hundreds of young men
who have good blood. Shall I ask three
or four plain questions? Are your hab
its as good as when you left your fa
ther’s house? Have you a pool ticket
in your pocket? Have you a fraudulent
document? Have you been experiment
ing to see how accurate an imitation
you could make of your employer's sig
nature? Oh, you have good blood. Re
member your father's prayers. Re
member your mother's example. Turn
not in an evil way. Have you been go
ing astray? Come hack. Have you ven
tured out too far?
As I stand in pulpits looking over
audiences sometimes my heart fails
me. There are so many tragedies pres
ent, so many who have sacrificed their
integrity', so many far away from (Jod.
Why, my brother, there have been too
many prayers offered for you to have
you go overboard. And there are those
venturing down into sin, and my heart
aches to call them back.
At Brighton Beach or Long Branch
you have seen men go down into the
surf to bathe, and they waded out far
ther and farther, and you got anxious
about them. You said, "I wonder if
they can swim?” And you then stood
and shouted: "Come hack! Come back!
You will be drowned!” They waved
their hand back, say ing, ' No. danger.”
They kept on wading deeper
down farther out from shore,
until after awhile a great
wave with a strong undertow took
them out, their corpses the next wash
ed on the beach. So I see men wading
down into sin farther and farther, and
I call to them: "Come back! Come
back! You will be lost! You will be
lost!" They wave their hand back,
saying, “No danger; no danger.” Deep
er clown and deeper down, until after
awhile a wave sweeps them out and
sweeps them off forever. Oh, come
back! The ouc farthest away may
come.

in his tnind. with the assurance that he
was a child of God, pro ectod and blessed
by him, he‘Would naturally dream of "a.
lend (lowing with milk and honey," a
utopia, a paradise, bright, peaceful, lux

pastures were parched and bare, the wat
ercourses dry. Ills cattle were dying of
hunger and thirst, in strange contrast
with the cvcr-grcen fields and blooming
gardens of his native land. He must have
asked himself ns Hunyan's Pliable hi the
Slough of Despond, "Is this the happi
ness you have told me nil this while of?"
It was his first experience of famine.
And now came two imperfections in ids
faith, which hud not yet become perfect.

great fascination and charm to one who
lirst enters its enchanted circles, espe
cially when, its was the case In Egypt,
there Wei l many good precepts In Its re
ligion.
" In Egypt lie felt in danger of Ids life,
because his wife was very beautiful, and
he feared that the Pharaoh would kill
him in order lo obtain her for Ills harem,
nor were his fears groundless. "Possi
bly," says Professor Hods, "lie may have
heard the ugly story which has recently
been deciphered from an old papyrus, and
which fells how one of the Pharaohs,
acting on the advice of his princes, sent
armed men to fetch a beautiful woman
and make away with her husband."
To escape ibis danger he told a lie
which was a formal truth, that Sarah
was his sister, for she was his half-sis

a good man. It is said that "he vexed
his righteous soul" at the deeds of the
Sodomites, his neighbors; but he did tiol
have the strength of faith, the nobleness
of character, the depth of piety which his
uncle possessed, lfis goodness depended
partly on the company he kept to help
the inner tires lie received strength from
the greater Abraham, and shared in his
prosperity. Tile man that treated his
nephew so generously as is described in
this lesson must have been generous to
him long before. This act was but one
illustration of a lifetime of the same
-ptrit.
III. Abraham, the Peacemaker.—Vs. S.
9 8. "And Abraham salt! unto Lot." As
the older, as the richer, as the more
favored of God, as the better and more
generous man, Abraham speaks first.
"Let there be no strife . . . between
ine and thee." "It is evident that Lot
was beginning to take part with his
herdmen, and regard himself ns an in
jured man." And there was danger thut
the quarrel of the servants might soon
alienate their masters. "The words of
this verse would make a beautiful motto
today for the kitchen, for the parlor, for

Parker. "For we be brethren." In kin

and to show him that bis apparent losses
for the sake of peace and love were no
real losses, but would be made up to him
a thousand fold in a higher and better
way. The old promise was renewed, and
intensified, and enlarged. One reasou for
this revelation may have been, as Pro
fessor Pods suggests. "It Is always as
difficult to govern our heart wisely after
as before making a sacrifice. It is as
difficult to keep the will decided as to
make the original decision; and it is more
difficult t - think affectionately of those
for whom the sacrifice has been made,
when the change In their condition and
our own is actually accomplished. There
Is a natural reaction after a generous
notion which Is not always sufficiently

It Is charged by the opopsition inAI
toona. Ia., that the anti-saloon league
has employed minors to solicit drinks
at bars, misrepresenting their ages,
and that the theological students have
been imported to work up evidence
against gamblers. One of the stu
dents is said to have been so well up
in the game of poker that he took all
the money in a big game played at
one of the political clubs. The cru
saders, of course, deny all these stories.
