A clergyman happened to tell his son
one Saturday afternoon what lesson he
would read in church the next morn-
Ing. The boy got hold of his father's
Bible , found the lesson place aud
glued together the connecting pages.
In consequence the clergyman read
to his flock the following day that i
"when Noah was 120 years old he took
unto himself a wife , who was" here
he turned the page " 140 cubits long ,
40 cubits wide , built of gopher wood
and covered with pitch in and out. "
After reading the passage the clergy
man read it again to verify it. Then ,
pushing back his spectacles , he looked
gravely at his congregation and said :
"My friends , this is the first time I
ever read that in the Bible , but I ac
cept It : ib evidence of the assertion that
we are fearfully and wonderfully

SAINT GAUDEN'S EAGLE CONDEMNED.
, ] have received one of the new gold coins
which are now being celebrated in connec
tion with the suppression of the familiar
legend , "In God We Trust. " Having re
gard to the artistic quality of the design ,
the piece is distressing. Knowing the work
of the lamented Saint Gaudens as inti
mately as we do , we arc impelled to the conclusion that
he must have executed it under the most unfavorable
and forbidding circumstances. It is wholly unworthy oi !
him. and indeed wholly unlike him. Saint Gaudens in
his treatment of inscriptions was always most distin
guished ; his lines of text were characterized by a dec
orative significance that was full of charm , whereas in
the new coin the lettering is as coarse and rep ll'ant as
its disposition is unfortunate.
The head of Liberty is utterly flat and unrelieved ; it
has no quality of anything ; it is pitched in its plane
without the least sense of composition and is superim
posed upon a date of egregious disproportion and style.
The reverse is wholly discouraging. Saint Gaudens was
more Greek in his sympathy and inspiration than any
other artist of the nineteenth century , and how he should
have executed such a modern barbarism as this eagle
is beyond our comprehension. We know what the ( Iffii-
ctilties are in conforming to the physical requirements
of modern courage , but the die sinker's art is not in
exorable. We reject the coin definitively ; we refuse to
accept it as the work of Augustus Saint Gaudens. J

THE TELEGRAPH TRUST.
K incident in connection with the settle
ment of the telegraph strike that has not
become generally known is that the oper
ators , when they went back to work , found
tin ir wages had been cut 10 per cent.
This is in spite of the fact that the com-
panics have raised the cost of messages
from l. i to . ' ! . " per cent over the prices which heretofore
have paid enormous dividends to stockholders. Thus
the telegraph trust is doing its work at 10 per cent less ,
is getting from 1T > to 3.1 per cent more money for it than
ever before , and the public and the operators have to
stand the loss. That is a delightful situation for the tele
graph trust , aud may be useful in helping Anna Gould to
hire another titled husband. But neither the operators
nor tiie public finds much comfort in it.
The telegraph trust should beware of crowding public
good nature too far. Not much is necessary to convince
the people of. the United States that they should follow
the example set by Great Britain and take over the tele
graph monopoly themselves. Chicago Journal.

OLD DAYS ON THE BIVEB.
Some Conditions ihat Zlfnlco Their
Kevivsil Improbable.
Every two or three years for tlie last
ten years different individuals and
steamboat companies have put into op
eration one or more packets modern
steamboats to ply between St. Louis
and various points up the Missouri
River , says a contributor to the New
York Sun. These packets have uni
formly charged a freight rate approxi
mating CO per cent of the rate charged
by the railroads for the same class of
1 freight to and from the same points ,
j In no case has this service been contin-
! tied for more tha a period of rt few
j months , for the operators of these
steamboats found that they w re los
ing money. But others , after a lapse
of several months or a few years have
tried it and put other boats into opera
tion in the hope of a profitable busi
ness.
Those who are in a position to observe -
serve and who are familiar with old
and new conditions believe the cause of
the failure of this business to pay is
that people of the present day and time
arc accustomed to and prefer certain
and quick transit even at additional ex-
jicuse. In the "old river days , " with |
undeveloped country from ten to twen-
ty packets plied between St. Louis and
Missouri river points and the business
was profitable and several substantial
fortunes were accumulated by steam
boat owners. But railroads have
changed conditions materially. An ad
ditional eause contributing to failure In
the steamboat business is the fact that
for weeks at a time during the winter
season the river is not navigable on ac
count of ice.
Many of the old steamboat captains
and pilots who spent the better years
of their lives on the Missouri river
and who are among the most skillful
river men in this country , have been
forced out of employment , while others
now operate small ferryboats. Still
others have passed away leaving no
successors.
While conditions are slightly better
on the Mississippi river above St. Louis
at the present time it is believed that
river transportation in a few years
will be a thing of the past. These rea
sons were advanced by Congressman
Burton of the deep waterways commis
sion and lie doubted if the people of
the upper Mississippi would use a deep
er channel enough to warrant construc
tion.

DISINFECTING THE ONLY PREVENTIVE.
Borax , a Simple , Safe and Sure
Method.
ITo\v to keep our tomes clean , sweet
and free frow germ influences is a
question.
While there is no occasion for alarm ,
it is always well to be forearmed on
the theory that "An Ounce of Preven
tion Is Better Than a Pound of Cure , "
and no ounce of prevention has yet
been discovered that is more simple ,
more direct and more effective , yet
harmless to the human system , than
Borax.
Borax has been known and used for
generations as a purifier and preven
tive against epidemic influences orig
inating from uncleanly conditions re
sulting from unsanitary sinks and
drains , and when xised as a hot solu
tion in the proportion of two tablespoonfuls -
spoonfuls to a gallon of hot water
Hushed through the offending loca
tions , removes every trace of disease
germs and renders the pipes clean
and wholesome.
Borax in addition to its hygienic
qualities , is a household necessity , and
can be used for numberless domestic
purposes. It softens the water , makes
linen dazzHni : white , will cleanse
every article in the kitchen or dining
room and make it bright , will
prevent moths , soften and whiten the
skin , remove dandruff and cleanse the
scalp , and for cleansing and steriliz-
ng baby's milk bottle and nipple has
no equal.
Borax , unlike every other cleanser
ind disinfectant , is absolutely harm
less to the system , and is safe , simple ,
