In each car of the ele- vated roads are several °rose seats, provided in all with • four mirrors, About 4000, nal/Toes are in use, • requir- ing much liteor to keep' them bright, to say nothing of the original cost. These seats are in great demand. In face. an unseemly rush is made for them., and man, as the stronger ani: mat, usually secures the prize. Once seated he proceeds to ogee eimself, holding his bead at several angles to ea,cilitate the purpose, giving his neck- tie a superfluous pull, and, after set- • tling. down to a newspaper, stealing an occasionai glance from. the corner of his eye to note the genera." effect. Fain- thousand mirrors cost a good • bit of money, and it has 'struck the •economic department of the company . that it.woeld pay to take them_ out. One high in authority says: " The mir- rors make dudes go past teeir eta- • tions, and then they blame the guards for not hollering louder." Possibly the mirrors create some business, but the extra transpoeta.tion required for those mem 'miss their stations is more than an offset. The official opinion is that they "keep a, good many people in the cars who ought to be attending to their personal affairs, and not their per- sonal appearance." Imagine an insinu- ation, 200 year ago that personal ap- pearance is not a personal affair! The theory is quite too much even now. erhere is something of Narcissus in ev- ery man, even if he can see nothing I in a looking -glass but the faecination of uglinese.

One of the passages of the latter Rev. Dr. Talmage chose ,as his text' to -day, and. he preached a Most POWerflli Serthala thes•eon, His text was: Matthew vii., 2„ "With what measure you mete itt shall be measured to you again, He said:, • In the -greatest eermon ever preached —a sermon about! 15 minutes long ac- cording to the ordinary rate of speech —a sermon on the Mount of Olives, the preacher sitting wnile he spoke; ae- eOrdialg to the ancient . mode of ora- tory, the people were given to tieder- stand that the senate yardstiek -that they emelreeed upon others would be em- ployed upon themselves. IVIeseure oth- ers by a harsh rule, and you will be raelesured by a harsh rule. Measure others by a charitable rule, and ,you will be in.easurea by a charitable rule, Give no mercy, to others, and no.naeroy will be given to you. With what measure you mete it shall be measur- ed to, you again," There is a great deal of unfairness in criticism in human conduct. • It eu,s to smite that unfairness that Christ ut- tered the words of the text, and my sermon will be a re-echo. of the divine sentiment. In estimating the misbe- havior of others, we must take into consideration the pressure of circum- stances. It is never right to do wrong, but there are degrees of culpability. When men misbehave or commit some atroeious wickedness, we are disposed - indiscriminately to tumble them all over the bank of condemnation, Suf- fer they ought, and suffer they must, but in a difference of degree. ,the first, place, in estimating the misdoing of others we must take into calculation the hereditary tendency. There is such a thing as good blood, and there is sueh a thing as bad blood. There are families that have had amor- al twist in theni for a hundred. years beck, They have not been careful to keep the familyrecord in thee regard. There have been escapades and maurad- ings and Scoundrelisms and moral'de- ficits all the Ivey back, whether you call it kleptomania or pyromania or dipsoma.nia or whether it be a. milder form and amount to no mania at all. The strong probabilityt is that the Pre- sent criminal started life with nerve, ixtuscleand bone contarainated. As some f start life with a natueal tendency to nobility and generosity and kindness and truthfulness. there are others who start life with just the opposite tend- ency, and they are' Vern liars or born malcontents or horn 01.1thtWe or born swindlerre There is in. England a school that is called the Princese Mary school. All the children in thee school are the children of convicts. The school is un- der high patronage: I had the pleas- ure of being present at, one of their anniversaries, presided over by the Earl of Kintore. By a wise' law in England after parents have committed. a certain number of crimes and there- by shown themselves incompetent rightly to bring up their children the little ones are taken front under pernie' cious influences and put in reforma- tory schools. where all gracious and. kindly influences shale be brought up - n thena. Of Course the experiment is youn,g, and it has- got to he 'demon- trated how large a percentage of' the hildrenof convicts may be brought up o respectability and usefuIriess. But ve all know that it is more diffieult or children of bee parentage to do ight than for ten' even of good par- ntage.

Her son James is the apostle known as " James the Less," to be distinguished from " Jamee Lee Lord's brother," who is be- lieved to have written the Epistle Gen- eral of ;fames, and from " James the Son of Zebedee." Salome, though the text does .not say so, was also the moth- er of a James, for she was the wife of Zebedee. There is -some reason to be- lieve that both of these women were sisters of the Virgin Mary, but the rec- ord of the humen relationships of Jesus is .neither full nor clear. Sweet spices were used in burial throughout the East. These women may not have k,nown what had, been done by Joseph and Nicociemue. 2. Very= early in the morning, the 0 first; day of the week. Remember that the first day of the week began at sunset of what we would call the day before. The Nvomen had watched the burial just before the Sabbath be- d gen; they had bought the spices just n after the Sabbath elosed, and perhaps e as early as four or five in the morning of Sunday they made their way to the sepulcher, which was reached at the e rising of the sun.
