That was the question which, in this
striking drama was asked by man's
great adversary. It was a most natural
one from the satanic penin of view,
%Otero selfish gain is the only udunissible
explanation of any action, where the
sole question is, will it pay? and where
personal ndtautage is the only known
standard of ethics. It is not strange
that the ledger view of life books on re-
ligion as u possibly profitable business
‘endure, a side line to be carried for
what (here is in it.
The accusation in the question is trite
enough today, but it only persists be-
cause of the truth in it. The Christian
soldier who lives for the loot keeps alive
the sneer al religion. A man's testimony
in prayer meeting is often only an eco-
nomical method of advertising his sugar
or his dry goods. Many a men is serv-
ing
ereing God with an eye singly: to the good
o' his trnde, while to others piety Is but
a professional pull. To yet others relig-
ion is a performance to be regarded as
one of the penalties paid to social con-
vention.

on the text of the itevised Version.
John Mark, and His Life Sketch of
Jesus. -To our second Gospel has been
given,not the Hebrew name of its author,
which was John, but hes Roman sur-
name, which was Mark. "John whose
surnume was Mark" (Aces 12. 12) was •:n
attendant of Barnnbas and Saul on their
first missionary journey, and just pre -
coding (.Acts 12. 25; 13. 5), and a little
later a source of contention between tis
superiors (Acts 15. 27-39, because of tins
having left them before the completion
of their first nmissionary tour, ion which
he had started with them es their at-
tendant (Acts 1.1, 13). But in the Epistle
to the Colossians he again appears as
the companion of i'aul (Col. 4. 1(1), anon
is mentioned also in Tin►. 4. 11, and in
I'hilem. 2i. Peter niso, In his second
epistle. speaks of Mork, calling him his
son In the faith (1 Pet. 5. 131, and it is
to the hoax of Mark's mother in Jeru-
salem, where a company of disciples was
gathered in prayer for his deliverance,
that Peter hastened upon being miracu-
lously set free from prison (Acta le. 12).
Mark's gospel is distinguished from
(hose of Matthew and Luke by its brev-
ity. On hits the life of Jtsus seems to
have made the impression of a "swift
march of important events toward a
tragic end." ' Omitting all mention t.f
the birth and childhood of Jesus, ant
touching but briefly on Chet events
re..ur•ection morning, his life sketch '.t
Jesus is devoted almost wholly to the
period of his public ministry. "a brief
and terse narrative of a three years'
campaign."
That Murk wrote for Gentile rather
than for Jewish readers is evident from
the fact that he constantly explains Ile -
brew terms and customs. The fact that
lie refers to the destruction of Jerusalem
a.s an event still in the future. though
imminent, necessarily places the date of
the composition of the gospel before
A. D. 70. 'Tradition points to Itoma
lite place of its writing, and certain
Latin words peculiar to this gospel glee
support to this tradition.

of the paragraph in regard to the work

country through which the prince Is :o

Messiah. and for his corning people were

parenthetical reference to the prophecies,
and joining this fourth verse to the first.
(ho significance of our comment on
verse 1 becomes apparent. "The begin-
ning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the
Son of God," consisted, so far as Merles
narrative was concerned, in the coning
of John the Baptist.
Ilaptizod-John's use of the baptismal
rite was unique, and is to be carefully
distinguished from Christian baptism,
with which it was not identical. it wits
a baptism unto repentance, aid signifies
the inward purification of the person
baptized. "It took u^ into a symbolical

sages as Ise. 1. 16; 4. 4; Jer. 4. 14; Zech.

HANGED ON GUOSTS TESTVIIONY.
Peculiar Trials Found Among British
Court Records.
The testimony of a "ghost" would not
now count for much in u court of law,
but the day has been when it has sufficed
to hang u roan. 1l is stated that the
original depositions are in the Bodleian
Library of a most remurkablo case •1
this character, says the London Stan-
dar•d,
A girl named Anne Walker was sup-
posed to have been sent away for her
good by a substantial fanner. Some
time afterwards a so-called apparition
appeared to a neighbor, with its (read all
bloody from wounds. and telling hint
that she had been murdered by the far-
mer and an accomplice. Her body, the
apparition said, had been buried in a
spot which she described, and she
begged the man to whom she appeared
to bring her murderers to justice. True
enough, the body was found In the place
mentioned and the men were brought .o
trial. The sensational character of the
case was intensified by one of the jury-
men declaring that he saw the child of
the dead woman "sating upon the
shoulder" of its father, the farmer. Both
ttie culprits were Inung(d.
There was a ghostly accuser in a case
with which readers of Scott are famil-
iar. Soon after the "45" an English sol-
dier tvandie .ng near Braemar met a
violent death. Hawks do not peck out
hawks' een and •no man opened his
mouth to give a clue. Years passed and
then came a story of a com►nunication
from another world.
A farm servant declared that in the
night a spirit had appeared to him, 'te-
etering Itself to be the ghost of the sol-
dier. whose bones it suid lay still un-
buried. The Highlander must see to
their decent internment and have the
murderers, two men naned, brought to
justice. The Highlander promised, but
did not keep his word, and a second and
third time the spirit appeared and up-
braided trim for his breach of faith.
Alarmed at last and no longer daring
to delay, the man called a companion,
went to the spot which the spirit had
indicated and there found the bones of
the murdered warrior concealed in a
moorland tract called the Hill cf
Christie.
'the story of the Highlander came lo
the ears of an nnli•Jacobile, whu caused
the smaller to be brought to trial before
the Court of Justiciary, Edinburgh. Thera
the tale was corroborated by a woman
who had seen a nuked figure enter the
place on the night spoken of by the man.
It was an age of superstition, in n dis-
trict more than commonly given to super-
stitions.
ter-
stitions. and the jury seemed disposed
to find the two men charged guilty of
the murder. But It happened that the
principal witness spoke only Gaelic.
"Naw," said counsel for the defense, "in
what language did the ghost speak?"
"In as good Gaelic as 1 ever heard in
Lochaber." was the reply. "Pretty good
for the ghost of an English soldier:
said counsel. And that question and
comment saved the necks of the amen at
the bar. The jury could believe in n
ghost. hill not in an English ghost speak-
ing Gaelic.
STRANGE ROMANCE.
Italian Marquis Yields Ills Title to Re-

A strange romance of an Italian mar-
quis, who gave up his title and fortune
and became a British subject. has been

The Court was asked to decide whe-
ther the late Marquis Arturo Taliacarne
was an Italian or a New Zealander. Ile

and at various times Ambassador of the
then King of Sardinia to many countries.
The Marquis Andrea married an Eng-
lishwoman in London, and when he was
Ambassador for Sardinia at The ilague,
In 1859, his son Arturo was born.

sum of money in land, and, adopting
the democratic spirit of the country,
dropped his title, and assumed the name
of Arthur Jaynes Berlie.

`!'!l When boiling meat the red juice will
escape and so render it dry and insipid
if a toric is used in turning it instead et
a knife or spoon. If the meat sticks to
the gridiron and is marked by the bars,
the latter have not been well greased be-
fore putting on the steak.
The really best method of cleaning
mirrors and windows is to rub them
with a paste of whiting and water.
When this dries polish with dry chamois
and remove the powder. A little alco-
. hol in cold water also gives a brilliant
polish. Soapsuds should never be used.
When making soup,w
i[ there is .
time to let it cool and eat again before
serving, pass it through a clean while
cloth wrung out of cold water. The cold-
ness of the cloth will coagulate the fat
and will prevent the pure grease from
getting through. Soup w•!ut particles
of fat floating on the top is very un-
appetizing.
if meat is lough, or if you have any
doubt as to its tenderness, put a table-
spoonful of vinegar over when putting
it on to cook. You will find it very
tender when done. Try steaming fowls
instead of boilipg. You will find thnl
the meat Is always tender and the full
benefit of the fowl Is kept, besides a very
delicate flavor.
To polish the dining table, take a
quarter of a pound of beeswax (the un-
bleached will do) and have ready a piece
of carpet a quarter of a yard square,
lined with a piece of cloth and padded.
Hold the wax before a tire, and, as it
melts, coat the cloth well with it, and
while yet warm begin to rub the table
briskly. Ruh for a quarter of an hour.
For chilblains or blisters on the hands
first soak the tnembers in hot water,
then rub with spirits of turpentine.
othing is better for a cold on the lungs
than equal parts of turpentine and lard
mixed and applied warns. Many sharp
pains in the side or chest can be relieved
by applying cloths wrung from hot
water in which is one tablespoonful of
turpentine to the quart.

usually is. sn most cooks will hail this

of the pie. Boll out and cut a cover to
fit. prick it well and hake this also,
When wanted for use, set in the oven 1.

be too intimate with any one when it

is the snfest confidant, and it slakes no
difference ow perfectly congenial a
fried may seam, or even prove to he, she
will value you none the less for the fine
reserve that you maintain about per-
sonal matters. And such reticence may
save you Infinite annoyance by and by.

"Now, of course, the; is just between you
rind me," about one neighbor to another,

MADE RICH BY BOGUS MINE.
Exploits of Swindlers Laid Bare to
Their Dupes.
An exploit of the "Band of the Baker,"
the gang of international thieves now
being broken up by the Paris police, has
come to light.
Two years ago they Invented a mining
company In the United States, There
was no mine, but the shares were
adroitly put on the market at 820 apiece.
They were well subscribed, and in the
course of a few months the entranced
shareholders received a preliminary
dividend of $6.25 a share.
Throe months later they received a
further dividend of $6.25. At the end
of a third three months another letter
from the company came. This time it
was the notice of a general meeting of
the shareholders, and an intimation that
valuable mineral discoveries had been
made on the company's properly.
Mirabet, the leader of the band, ex-
plained at the meeting of the company
op the new discoveries. He said that the
directors had decided to make a call r.f
$15 a share, which would enable thein
to extend the operations to the fullest
extent, and make the fortunes of the
shareholders in a very little time.
By a refinement of cleverness, the
shareholders who diewish 1 not t t. h to pay
the call were informed that their money
would be returned to them Tess the divi-
dends already paid. Everybody paid
this $15 call. Since the day they receive,'
the scrip the shareholders have not
heard of the company or the directors.

JENKS WAS RIGiiT.
Farmer Jenks Is a man who is so de-
sirous of being considered Infallible that
he will suffer great inconvenience rather
than relinquish that claim. "He'd ra-
ther have his own way than eat when
he's hungry," says Isis wife, who, after
lung years of contention and final yield-
ing. has learned to know him swell.
Not long ago Farmer Jenks injured
one of his fingers so severely that he
was obliged to leave his wore and go
home and have it dressed,
"1 tell you what, Jane," said he to his
wife; "that )inger'll have to come off."
"No. '!won't, either, father," said she,
soothingly. "I've seen plenty of hurts
worsen that."
"Jane, i tell you 'twilit Don't you
s'pose thnt 1 know what to expect of
my own finger?"
The dispute ran high, and, as usual,
the husband had the last word.
Days went and the finger grew worse
rather than better, until at last it reach•
ed such a stale that the doctor was
called. ile had not been in the room
fifteen minutes when 1'nrnier Jenks sum-
moned his wife.
"Jane," said lie, "come here, come
here! \\'hat do you s'pose he says?"
"Well, i guess by the way you're smil-
in' he says it's all right," said she, sten
beginning to smile in relief. "I must
say i ant glad! Your forefinger and en

looking at her with spnrkling eyes: "it's

SNOW -SHOES FOR MARSHES.
The largest extent of marsh land In
the world Is to bo found In the lowlands
which form part of tho steppe of Bar -
abs, between the rivers Inilsh and Obi,
in Arintln Ruasla, The region is flat,
and covered with forests, salt lakes, and
quivering marshes, extending over an
arms which is not less than 100,000
square tulles. During the summer
dense clouds of mosquitoes float over the
treacherous ground. Immense areas of
these dreaded "urians" have never been
visited by roan. The marshes, treach-
erously concealed under a swaying layer
of grassy vegetation, can only be crossed
by means of a kind of snow -shoe In
