A few Sundays ago, in a Phila- delphia church, the pastor was tell- ing the children of the Sunday school about the Scriptures and closed his remarks by relating to them the life of 51. Johan. When he had finished he wanted to see if the children had been paying at- tention to his address and asked !them 11 any of them could tell him about the life of Sit. John. After a few minutes a little girl in the end • of the Sunday school raised her hand and said: "Yes, sir! I tin tell you about him." "Oh.' said the minister, "I am so glad some one, has been paying attention to my remarks. Now let me clear allout Sit. John." The little girl be- gan: "John.

There are some lovely men in the world, even if they are scarce," . It 'was a pretty girl who• thus philo- sophically mingled optimism and pes- simism in her view of the loss assur- ing half of humanity. She proceeded to illustrate her position as follows: "'The other day I had to go down town by myself. I am not so very used to going clown town, and there is a preponderance of •masculinity down there that always scares me a little. This time I went on the elevated and got off at Rector street. It was about 10 in the morning, and the train and station were blacL- with men. 'There teas not a woman, a sister woman, to be seen when the lace of my skirt caught in something just as I was leaving the car, and with a loud, triumphant z -rip -p ripped off to the extent of about two yards. There was all this white stuff hang- ing and I had to get rift of it some way, I stepped to one sidle and began trying to tear the lace across, but it was as strong as the sewins had proved weak ;- not a thread of It would give. Every one of the stream of men passing turned his head to Iook at me struggle, and I could. feel my face crimson with exertion and mortification. " That kind of a situation has a hasheesh effect, and, though it seem- ed like hours, I suppose it was only a minute till a gentleman, busily talk- ing to a companion, passed close,. to me. and, hardly turning his eyes my way, held out an open pocket-knife ; then he walked on very slowly and apparently absorbed in conversattoa. It was the work of a second to sever the lace, roll it up in my bag and return him his knife. " My gratitude was too deep to express Itself in what the plays call the 'smooth, hollow phrases of so- ciety.' I am not sure that I opened my lips, but I am sure that I looked things unutterable. " He took the knife with just the slightest bow and touching his hat returned to his mutons with his friend. It was a little thing, you may say, but It was just the kind of little thing that' tests a man's breeding exquisitely," A Monument to Waft. The citizens of Greenock are di- vlded in opinion as to whether they should perpetuate the name and fame of their great townsman, John Watt, by a marble monument or by "something with a soul in It." Ei,gb•ty Three years have passed since the genies of the steam engine died in Birmingham, and the canny Scots of Greenock are still wondering ti' hat they should do for him.

The success of orange culture in Central end Northern California for ten years past suggests the climatic unity of the State. Some of the most successful orange groves are GOO miles north of Los Angrdes. The long summer, the warm and dry at- mosphere, the abundance of water, and the low price of land, make these fields in the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys very desirable for oranges and all kinds of farm- ing and fruit growing. Just now the rates are specially low. From Feb. 15th to April 30th the rate from Chicago will be $33 to California points.

Here is, to my mind, says M. A. P., the finest story of the Icing's' un- bounded sympathy for the suffer- ings of his subjects that has yet come td light. A young dressmaker was threatened with consumption, fol- lowing upon long and dangeroos chest trouble, and was left nearly destitute. The doctors advised her to obtain admittance to an open air home to undergo a course of treatment. Meanwhile she was taken into a convent and devotedly nursed by the nuns; but, unfortu- nately, all their efforts to get hes admitted into a home of the kind were quite Irultloss. Then the girl, learning that the King was patron of one of these institutions on the south coast, resolved secretly to write to him and plead for his as- sistance. About a fortnight later a gentleman called at the convent and asked to see her. He gave no naive, and at fleet he Was told that she was too ii! to rhe him. He then explained that it was necessary for him to ,see her, as he had come to inquire into her ease, and as to the desirability of sending her to an open-air house for the treat- ment of consumption. She was aid- ed downstalrs and he questioned her as to what the doctors had said, and then inquired to whom she had a•p- plied for help. She mentioned several names, and at last hesitatingly ad- mitted that she had written to the King. IN then informed her that he hied come from the King to inquire into her case, as Hie Majesty had no- ticed her letter and wished to help her. After further ,inquiries every- thing was satisfactorily arranged, and the girl was sent for a prolong- ed period to the home, with the re- sult that her health was greatly benefited, and that she hoe since been able to wprk. . Don't forget the old man with the fish on his back. For nearly thirty years he has been traveling around the world, and is stilltraveling, bringing health and comfort wherever he goes. To the consumptive he brings the strength and flesh he so much needs. To all weak and sickly children he gives rich and strengthening food. To thin and pale persons he gives new firm flesh and rich red blood. Children who first saw the old man with the fish are now grown up and have children of their own. He stands for Scott's Emul- sion of pure cod liver oil—a delightful food and a natural tonic for children, for old folks and for all who need flesh and strength.

One cannot well deny that the bat- tle has gone against the Bible as the only great literature (1n Ilux- ley's phrase) within reach of the common people. Too many archers have pressed it sore. Cheapened and mutltiplied newspapers and maga- zines and books of all kinds have fal- len in with, it they have not fos- tered, an extensive in the place of an intensive reading habit, so that the Bible must now struggle for ex- istence as literature, instead of be- ing the "one book." Bible reading has been bowed out of the Public Schools, while the home, to which it was again kindly oommended, has politely; passed on the unwelcome guest to the Sunday. School. But that institution, with the best will in the world, cannot recreate the heaven nvhich lay about the infancy of those, who, at a. mother's knee, made their young imagination fam- iliar with the racy, piquant English of the King James 'version, and with wealth of Oriental trope and alleg- ory and parable and pastoral and drama, ;which, from the Bible, has passed into the masterpieces of our literature. The evidence is too strong, and comes from tdo rnten9• quarters, that the old saturation with biblical phraseology, and imagery and illus- tration Is a thing of the past. An arid and astounding Ignorance has too often succeeded it. Tennyson and Browning, to say, nothing of Milton and Dryden, are already in need of scholiasts to explain, to ingenuous minds in school and college echoes and reminiscences of the Bible, which were second nature to an earlier generation. All this is a twice-told if still sorrowful tale. And there Seems no present hope of turning back the tide of battle. We can but sadly, reckon up our losses. --Century.

FRUIT AS A DIGESTIVE ALD, Pineapples are Especially Good for People Afflicted*With Dyspepsia. fllllo partaking of a slice of pine- apple after a meal is quite in ac- coi'dan'ce with' physiological inclieu- tions, since, thought It may not be generally known, fresh, pineapple juice Contains a remarkably active digestive principle similar to papain. Ills principle has been termed "bro- melin," and so powerful is its action upon proteids that it will digest as much as 1,000 times its weight *itkl- iu a, few hours. Its digestive ac- tivity varies in accordance with the :incl of proteid to which it is sub - ;looted. Fibrin disappears entirely, af- ter a time. With tho coagulated albumin of eggs tlio digestive process is slow, while with the albumin of moat its action seems first to produce a pulpy gelatinous mass which, however, completely dissolves al'tor a short time. When a slice of fresh pineapple is placed upon a raw beefsteak the surface of the steals becomes gradually gelatinous owing to tho digestive action of the enzyme of the juice. Of course, it is well known that digestive agents ex- ist also in other fruits, when con- sidered that an average -sized pine- apple will yield nearly two pints of juice it will be seen that the digestive action of the whole fruit must be enormous. The activity of this peculiar digestive agent is destroy- ed! in the soaked pineapple, but un- less the pineapple is preserved by ktoat there is no reason why the tin- ned fruit should not 'retain the di- gestive power. The active digestive principle may bo obtained from the juice by dis- solving a. large qu'antitjr of common salt in it, when a precipitate is ob- tained possessing the remarkable di- gestive powers just described. Un- like pepsin, the digestive principle of the pineapple will operate in an acid], neutral, or even alkaline medium, ac- cording to the kind of proteid to whieh it Is presented. It may, there- fore, be assumed that the pineapple enzyme would not only aid the work of digestion in the stomach, but would continuo that action in the intestinal tract. Pineapple, it may be added, contains much indigestible matter of the nature of woody fiber, but it is quite possible that the de- cidedly digestive properties of the juice compensate for this fact.

In every part of Europe bands of Hungarian gypsies aro to be en- countered. As a rule tbey travel in families, numbering from twenty-five to one hundred souls and more car- rying along with them all their var- ious and strange paraphernalia and domestic necessities. In most countries of Europe laws have been passed according to which these vagabonds are a.lowed to stay only a couple of days or a couple of hours in oertain provinces or provincial dis- tricts, wnen they are escorted by "gendarmes" over the border. Their principal business transactions con- sist el fortune-telling, begging and stealing. They are especially clever in the latter branch of business, and take everything from a pin and needle to a horse and carriage. The gypsies have been, a real nuis- ance for Europe for centuries, and the Austro-Hungarian Government is now considering a plan to force this most peculiar vagabond race into set- tlement somewhere in the vast plains of Hungary. Most characteristic of the gypsies is the fact that they never work. This Is one of their first principles. For more than 600 years they have been roaming over Europe, and the up-to-date gypsy is by all means the cleverest thief in the world.

Bagpithrough hthe musice "suffered fforts of well-meaning, but but mistaken people to lift it out of its proper place and graft it on to city life and its inside entertain- ments." To compare its music with "classical productions" is "like com- paring 'tatted and herring with wine jellies." A Chicago jury once decided that the .bagpipe was not a musical instrument at all. But why quarrel with a definition ? Enough that it has lived through some bad crises. When that phase of life in which it was ,born and brought up passed away, it declined to be moved into the ,backgound. In short, it had the will to live without the adventitious aids of cranks and of congresses, be- cause It answers a primitive want. Indeed, nothing could be more ironic than the fact that ,the military organizations which did much to crush out everything that had made e'ti a power should have been so com- pletely linquored by it that there are now two -and -twenty pipe bands In the British army. The bagpipes has been annexed by some of our native Indian regiments, notably those in the Punjab, and ii; eon- tinues to spread there as a great tltilltary, Instrument.—Athenaeum, ISSUE .N0. 8, 1903.
