"What is the mattei.' with' yonder

came to this city at least four years
ago. Then the walls were up. The
floors in many of the houses were laid.
The buildings then , seemed almost
ready for the plasterers. Why this
vast amount of money lying, idle? It
must be worth at least $10,000 a year
as 'interest. It would have been far
better to have laid no foundation and
erected no walls and allowed ,the land
to be turned into a -vegetable' garden
than to leave those buildiugs in that
state. ‘`I know it," answered my
friend, "but the owner of those build-

debts, all his properties were thrown

The half built towers of life have a
modern application in the average
schoolroom edudation. They can ' be
found in the preparations ,with Which
many of us were sent forth to the
struggle of life. They can especially
be found in the smattering of French
lessons and. painting, and music and
aesthetic culture in which serne eisters
and daughters are being, dipped 'for a
few months a year on the principle
that the mere outward color of the dye
decides whether or no the garment is
closely woven arid of good I wearing
quality. They are the "Incoinpleted be-
ginnings" of the schools and colleges
which often send a young man or a
young woman forth into the world
knowing a little of evrything and not
any one study perfectly. They make
their students knows. little of astrono-
my, a little of chemistry, a little of
Greek, a little of mathematics, a little
of mythology, a little of architecture, a
little of mechanics, a little of electric-
ity, a little. of this, that and the other
thing and yet not well versed in any
one subject or along any one line of
work. What true education should do
Is to teach a man to do at least one
thing as well as any one else could do
it and not to know many things poorly.
"Jack of all trades is master of hone."
1 would illustrate my thought with a
reference to a remarka,ble speech which
Charles Francis Adams delivered some
years ago before the Phi Betta Kappa
society of the Harvard university. The
title of this address was "A College
Fetich." In it Mr. Adams denounced
the absurd course of study which many
colleges demand of students in. years of
work over Greek and Latin and the
classics, utterly ignoring practical
studies for everyday life. "How did
Harvard College prepare me and my
' ninety-two classmates of the year 1856
for our work of life?" he asked. "In
answering the question it is not alto-
gether easy to preserve one's gravity.
The college fitted us for this active,
bustling, hard biting, many tongued
world, caring nothing for authority and
little for the past, but full of its living
thoughts and living issues, in. dealing
with which there was no man who did
not stand in pressing and constant need
of every possible preparation as ree
spects knowledge and, exactitude and
thoroughness—the poor old college pre-
pared us to play our parts in thif.
world by compelling us, directly or in-
directly, `to devote the best part. of OM
school lives to acquiring a confessedly
superficial knowledge of two dead lan-
guages." Such is the 'testimony oi
Charles Francis Adams in reference tr
one of the educational fetiches of oui
college life. Sucht on a broader scale,
are , the fetiches in reference to thf
education of the average young mai
or Woman of to -day.
Let us take the average young par
on commencement day. College 01
school -days are over. The foundation;
of the educational towers have been
laid. "Young man, what can you do?'
asks the hard headed world. "Are yet
an expert in any one line? Are you
capable mining engineer? Are you t
firatelass .advertising agent? Can you
.sell gotde? Are_ you_ an authority...al
a reattestate man? What can you dor
"Nothing," says the young man. "I
am willing to do anything, but I do
not know a trade. I have not become
proficient in any one line of work. But
I am willing to do what I am told to
do." "That is not enough. To be will-
ing is not necessarily to be capable.

true' preVardtion and perevernce and
hohral -charaeter to build the wane of
$ our epiritual structure? "If any roan,'
says Christ in the verse- preceding this
parable, "hate not his father end moth-
er and wife and children and brethren
and diisters—yea, and his own life al-
so—he cannot be my disciple." That
means "f a man is not willing to give
up all for Christ then Christ can br
none of his." Are you and ready to
make this sacrifice, to build our spir-
itual watch-to.wers to -day? 4 Are we
ready to make the necessary prepara-
tions?
We opened this sermon behind the
schoolroom desk of the teacher. Are
you and I ready to go and sit at
Christ's feet and learn of him? Are we
ready to accept his teachings and re-
ceive him as our Saviour? Christ says,
$ "He that believeth and is baptize.d
shall be saved, but he that believeth
not shall be damned." He says again,
"1 am the way, the truth and the life;
no man corneth unto the Father but by
me." Are not Christ's words clear
enough upon this subject? Are we
ready to make the necessary prepara-
tions for the building of our spiritual
watchtowers by becoming oneowitlrhim
through the atonement of the cross?
This is a call from God to you. In.
the far east the Mohammedan rnOsques
are flanked by minarets, or tall watch-
towers. There is certain hours of the
day the priests come, an\upon these
watchtowers they cry aoud: "Come to
prayers! Come to prayers! All ye chil-
dren,Ome to prayers!" Then the Mo-
hammedans, no matter where they
may be, whether as Arabs in the des-
ert, princes and princesses in their pal-
aces, merchants in their streets or la-
borers in the streets, kneel, bow . their
heads to the ground and pray. Oh, my

But the half built - educational tow-
ers aro not to be condemned nearly at$
much as the deerted, half built enterr
pfises of life which we see everywhere
around us. It was only here and 'there
that a -man or wean ien the past had
an ,opportunity to get a demplete edu-
cation. The higher schools of our fa-
thers and mothers were few and far
between. Be. -Sides that, eyen if there
were fine schools in the past all chil-.
dren were not able to go to them. Per-
• haps you were like nay grandfather.
He was the oldest ibf a large family of
children. He had to stay at home and
help work the farm that the younger
members. of the family rnight have
enough 'bread to eat and enough cloth-
ing to wear. Thus the only education
you receiyedoutside of the three ":E's"
was out of the "University of Hard
Knocks." But in spite of this handi-
cap, my/friend, -you have a good mind,
a good body and you have hada good
many of- the essential capabilities of
success. Now, why have you been
such a failure? Wily is your life in its
uselessness to be likened untie that half
built tower which Pilate, the governor,
erected and 'toward which Christ pcitrit-
ed when he spoke the words of my
text? I will tell the reason. You went
to work and worked hard. You de-
veloped yourself along one line. You
laialz your foundations; you partly com-
pleted your walls, but just when yon
were about to complete your Work and
win success you deserted the line of
work you were following and went to
dig in some other field to bild_another
kind of tower.
Is not this emphatically. true with
you in business? What are you doing
to -day? "Oh," you answer, 'la am in the
mining business. Some of my friends
and myself have a dozen 'claims up in

rains and ability, what became of
Ihisn? I know id you know. He is
dead now, 'a suicide; or he is living, a
social outcast; f or he is begging and
cheating his way through life. Oh, the
magnificent ruins of the half completed
towers' of life- we see everywhere
around us! These towers should have
been cittidels ifor defence and safety.
They are mere dungeons for the owls
- and the bats and the vermin of sin to
inhabit. e_
But, is there no direct, lesson from
this characterless tower far the wo-
men as well as the men? How is it, 0
woman, with the most brilliant friend
of your childhood days? You see her
now a perfect dream of beauty. As a
little girl her teeth were a collection
of priceless pearls. When she laughed
all `the sunshine of the heavens seem-
ed to dance in her blue eyes. ,,Her
dimples looked like the eddies in the
surface of a mountain brook. Her hair
could be likened unto nuggets ot gold
were it not for the fact that, like that
of Miriam of old, each curl had danc-
ing feet that never kept. still. Her
hands were perfect hands, her feet
perfect feet. Then her mind—it was so
clear and bright and sparkling and
witty and resourceful! What became
of her? Where is she? You mention
her name now with hushed lips and
downcast eyes. The asp of sin placed
one fatal fang about one „side, of her
heart and another fang al:ant the oth-
er side of her heart and bit until she
died. She destroyed her own life. Yes,
n • but, like Cleopatra, she not only de-
stroyed an Antony, but the moral lives
U of scores of other men who would to-
day have been noble husbands and
fathers and honored citizens 'of this
cemmonwealth but for her evil influ-
ence. Lack of true moral character
destroyed her. Ah, yes, brain power
and perseverance alone do not build
the stong, high towers of life. If we
do not admire Satan we must at least,
as a sPeaker once said, "grant that lie
Is persevering."
This parable was spoken byChrist
to teach a spiritual lesson as well as a
temporal one. , If to make a great
earthly success we must consecrate
our brains, our bodies and life to that
particular work of upbuilding his king-
dom? If we must have preparation
and perseverance and true moral
worth to build the 'walls of a temporat
tower, how much mom tuna eve: have
you carne to him with elean hands and
a clean, moral life?
His Faith Unhaken.
One ,ay the chodja prayed aloud that
God would send him a thousand pias-
ters. "A full thousand! I could not
take less!" said he in concluding- his
prayer.' A rich man who had heard
the chodja praying thought he would
try his consistency and next day placed
a bag containing 909 plasters Ip his
way. The chodja found the bag and
oounted the money, but as he wai
turning to carry It home the tempter
stepped from behind a wall and cried:
"Yesterday in your prayer you said
you could not take less than a thou-.
)
sand' piasters, and I wished t,9show
you your inconsistency. Leave that
mony. It is mine!" "013, no," said the
ehodja. "This money God lent me in
answer to my prayer, and I shall take
it home, trusting- that he who sent me
909 piasters will some time surely send
me the one outstanding piaster. There
Is no inconsistency, but plenty of. faith
In me!" And he walked away well
satisfied, carrying the bag. — Good

Roman DutcherPs Shop.
The Museum of Antiquities at Dres-
den has an interesting marble relief
from Rome which represents an- an-
cient butcher shop of oblong shape
divided by a pillar into two unequal
parts. In the greater stands the butch-
er, with a high chopping, block resting
on three substantial legs before him,
while behind him tiling the steelyard
and a cleaver, he himself being occu-
pied in dividing a rib of meat with an-
other cleaver. On the wall above him,
just as with us, id a row of hooks near
to each other, on which hang pieees of
meat already dressed—a rib and a leg
of meat, a pork joint and udders (a
tidbit Of the Romans); also lungs and
liver, and last of all the favorite bear's
head. On the left, in the smdller divi-
sion of the shop, the wife of the butch-
er sits in an easy chair, with. an ac-
count book on her knees, engaghd in
assisting the business of her husband
by acting as bookkeeper..

Tender Hearted 'Butchers.
One who has been4employed these
thirty years In slaupter houses as
bookkeeper, salemanetc., tells me: "To
say that butchers are hard. hearted is
far from the truth—that is, in most
cases. Let me explain how the shed-
ding of human blood. affects • them. I
one saw a butcher cut his hand very
severely, and net one of his twenty or
more associates could be induced to go
near to assist him 1 had. to bandage
him up as well as t could and send. him
to a hospital.. Another butcher who
had helped slaughter from 2,000 to
4,000 hogs P. day for years saw a wom-
an throw herself before a freight traha,
which mangled her fearfully. Re
promptly fainted. I have seen more
than a hundred tights at slaughter
houses, bet never yet saw a butcher at-
tempt to use a knife.".
The Widow's 40ap.
A very ancient origin, dating back to
the time of the old Egyptians, has the
widow's cap. The Greeks borrowed
from the latter the custom of shaving
the bead. and beard in time of mourn-
ing. The Romans copied, but, being a
smooth shaven people, had only the
head upon which to operate. This,
when shaved, they covered with a wig.
The women did not necessarily shave
their heads, but they were careful to
hide their hair beneath a cap, The use
of crape upon the arm is a naval and
military emblem of bereavement, come
down to us from days of chivalry,
when ladies fair bound scarfs upon
the arms of their champions as they
went to test their skill and courage in
the tomnameht.
