'I'be angel said, "This is the paradise of God, and the song you hoar is the antheni of the redeemed." Under another roll of the celestial music Rous- seau wakened and got up in the midnight and, as well as he conld, wrote down the strains of the music that be had heard in the wonderful tune called "The Songs of the Redeemed." God grant that it may not be to you and to me an infidel dream, but a glorious reality. When we come to the night of death and we lie down to our last sleep, may our ears really be wakened by the eat:bolos of the heavenly temple, and the songs and the anthems and the carols and the doxologies that shall climb the inusical •ladder of that heavenly gamut.

In the course of a leetere delivered re- cently on ehentical testa used in discover- ing by the ink the ago of documents, and whether there have been interpolations, Prof. C. A.

The inter- ests involved in this ease were very large, and it was ttot practicable that the orig- inal cheek sbould be taropered with or thenneally treated, For purposes of testi- mony an enlarged photograph of the cheek was taken by Dr. Doremus, who was called as an expert in the ease. The first trial resulted in no decision and on the second trial, what purported be the original check was produced. It was handed to the cashier of the bank for identification, He examined it and said: "This is not the original chock," "How do you know that*" demanded the amazed lawyer. "Because in the heading of the original check I pricked a hole in the center of each of the 'o's' with a pin," was the reply. "This cheek has not those holes." in all other respects the check seemed to be identical. The court called. for Dr. Doretuus's photograph to be produced. It pIaitaly showed tbe pin boles. Upon this the lawyer for the defense threw up his ease, and the guilty substitutor of the false check fled the eountu.-New York Sun. The Ilighest Idea.

Paris as a rinestelat Center. That Paris is and has for two centuries been by far the greatest intellectual center In the world is, of course, -true, but she is O great money center also. She bas tbe power of the purse. She contains the min - of finance and the Bank of France, and she consequently -wields a supreme power in France quite apart from the fact that she is the greatese artistio aed liter- ary center in the world, and that political- ly she often stands out as the representa- tive of all Franco, as she did in 1798, in 1830, in 1848 and in 1870. Take. from Paris the power of the purse, transfer the Bank of Frame and the haute finance to Lyons or Toulouse, and we should find (if the transference could be made permanent) that Paris had declined greatly in the esteem of France and of the world. While Paris is a grade below London in its power as a financial center, Berlin is perhaps a grade below Paris, not because Itis not every influential center of finance, but because • it thane that position with Frankfort, wbich still, though no longer a capital, maintains its old reputation, and will probably continue to do so. -Lon- don Speetator, Overheard In a Lunchroom.

"No, thank you," said he. "It's dessert enough for me to have the privilege of looking at tbe waiter." Her nose assumed an elevation of 45 de- grees as svith an indignant ,sniff sbo pranced away. Two minetes afterward she bad told all the girls about the lovely fellow vvho never ordered dessert, and it was easy to see that she was tickled to death. -Pittsburg Dispatch.
