Rote we wisli to mention OnlY a few of there Already known, and espec- ially to tell the yet unknown, Short. but, touchiug story of the black, mourning stamp. The measure or- dering the abolitiou of the Finnish postage stamps and their eubstito- tion by Ruesia., a measure ie itself of no practical importance whatever, met with a united popular protest which does much credit both to Fin- nish ingenuity and tenacity 9f pur- pose which Shall yet prevail. Ween this measure was promulgated, the Pions issued a, black stamp with the words "Soumi-Finlamd" and the na- tional coat of arms OA it. This stomp they affixed to the top right corner of the envelope simply as et. sign, of mourniug and protest, while affixing the Russien stamp on the centre of the other eide of the en- velope. The Imperial Goverment got alarmed, as it. alwitye does. at such purely sentimentel manifesta- tion of national feeling. end in a telV flay'S interdicted the practice. The Finns, however, would not give in. blit not wishing to infringe the law fabricated at the oifice of the Gover- nor-General. began to use very thin, transparent envelopes, putting the black stamp inside so that it entild be well seen from the outside. The Governor-General declared this rule to be an illegal practice, too. and forbade it, but the people still would not give in. The value of the new stamps, which\ •are of the ardivary Russian type with the two -headed eagle. is express,. ed in Finnish currency for Corres- pondence within the grand duchy, and in copecks for correepondence to Russia end abroad, as if to impress the outside world with the unity of holy orthodox which hence- forth will haw no longer the con- stitutional tearlikas and ponds in her done:lion. hut only tlie autocrae tie rubies and copecks. Such is the story of the unique bleek stioup adopael as a sign of na- tional Mourning. it is significant in lit -elf as regards practical result. but it is none the less pathetic and in- StrUctive as outlaying the senti-, Monis and eharacter of a people so deeply attaehed to their country, so persistent in resisting every en- croachment on their cherished rights and liberties. Vast The index of boolfs at the Britieh museum is at last complete. after twenty years of hard work. WI:en the printing of the great eatalogue began in 1881 the manuscript eata- logue then used contained 3,000,000 rciferences to about half as ntany books—cross titles accounting for the difference between the figures. Since then something like 500,000 3-rew books have been received at the mu- sette% their average yearly ember being now 40,000. The preparation of the printed catalogue has. of course, been enormously' expensive. It was hoped at the start to rtsduce the cost by issuing it to subscribers, and for a yearly subscription of ,13 lOs a subscriber received all the parts published in the year. .As the limber of volumes issued annually, however, rose frozli fifteen to thirty, while the subscription remained the same, the price of each volume felI from the law sum of 4s,,nd 1 29 del, and the revenue from this source had not been great. Only about 250 copies of each issue are printed, and only about eighty are circulated, half of them given away! In all there. are over 600 'volumes of the cata- logue, containing the titles of :1,- 000.000 books. The subject index will be the great task of the British museum in the new century. It is to be commenced at once, but will not be ready for fifteen years at least.—St. James' Gazette. One Knows French, but --- I have often wandered whether the average individual is M the habit of telling the truth about his knowl- edge of French. This has been borne in upon me all the more strongly since the l3ernhardt engagement. Or- dinarily truthful persons tell the most astounding legends concerning their knowledge of French. Gray- haired mothers and • fathers who dawdled over 011endorf half a cen- tury ago, proudly assert that their "French is • a little rusty, but—" Their grown-up daughters, who pour- ed over Fasquelle twenty years ago, serenely say: "Yes, I am not • so well up in French as I used to be, The youngest • generation, whicheis still pouring over the con- temporaneous • French grarainar, whatever it may be, says blithely: "Yes, we finished our French course with Mine. •TJnetelle last term and understand most of what Bernhardt said, but—" --The Argonaut.

And that 'yOu cannot change human nature is the most 'vulgar and unthbakipg of all objectiona to ImMaii progress. It is the cheapest and Mast indolent form of old fatal- ism, than makes man the victim of something outside of aimed!. There is nothing outside of human nature mighty as itself, er that can pre- • vent it front being what tt lovingly I • and Persistently wills toe be. "Yon are not startling the idealist When you reply to him that be meet change Itentau nature — as though that really Meant soreething!--before he can get his ideal realized, Cer- tainly; that is precisely whet bie Ideal is fee—to ehange usan Intel the likeuees of the diviee reality, 'which he really is, and which his ignorance Wel servility never wholly hides. "Wbat would you thiele of a Man 1srio should order his life on the as- suzuption that the highest, attainable Jiealth eould COMO to him only througb keeping disease in his eye - tem, because disease has always ' heee present in the world? Yet is • he Acting any :awe irrational time the civilization which bases its pro- duction and distribution on the as- sumption that safety aud prosperity lie ouly in economic and legal coer- ma. because men have alwaYs been kept in some form of slavery? Is he acting with ony greater PutThieeet than the society which forms its faiths and its institutions on the plan of a penitentiary system, te- Vallee NO111,0 lorg are bad and shift- less? Is he acting auy more strenge- ly than -the church which amen- ciously insists on keepitig the devil in the world in order that it may find perpetual employment in saving men froin him? We can never build a free aud east society upon faitb in what is evil, or upon unfaith in tile good which is the worst form of faith in evil. "The kingdont of heaven is the world -making motive. which both so - clay and the individual need for de- finite and purposeful effort. In this ideal is a. religion we can all believe in, and the heaven we cant all work forwithout regard •to our theologi- cal' or materialistic speculations. The fraternization of the world, a love 'Orga.nized society that shall give limitless usefulness and happiness to every human being, is a, tangible and realistic beaven, which we may melte the motive of all we think and do. "It is in its confession of faith in life that we must. find the first value of the kingdom of heaven as a, social nU individuel motive. It matters not whether we call life good, or call it God. or call it force. Life is all there is, and we must cease to be afraid of it and begin to understand and trust it if we are to do the work that is bold and honest and purposeful. "It is faith in life that man needs in order to be made whole. Not a conviction of sin, as the revivalists say, but a conviction of life's inher- ent divinity ami goodness, is the ex- perience you need to beget the reviv- al for which so many, in and out of the church are crying. Men are not sinners first of all, or worms of the dust, but free and comrade -sons of God. Human life is God, and each individual is Immanuel—God with us. The spirit of God is the brenth of our being and our beautiful selfless impulses are God's throbs. That which is deepest and most elemental in ma.n is that which is highest and first in God. Our ruggedest sense of justice is but the struggle of the universal soul of things for freedom and completeness of expression. The universe centres in you, in me; and we are each all there is of the uni- verse. "The announcement of the kingdom of heaven first came and always comes as the supreme optimism. Not the tragedy and menace of what was behind man, but the nearnesS and glory of what was within and ahead of man, was made the motive of in- dividual and collective appeal. It is to fear or suffering, to dread of death or selfish hope of heaven, to so.uae kind of ignoble escape or mean per- sonal regard, that religious motivity has largely appealed; rarely or never has it appealed to what is loveliest and boldest in man. "The life of the world pivots it- self upon tragedy. , Along the lines of tragedy do the great religions move, and in the tragedy of the cross historic Christianity centres itself. From the tragic facts and forces of life- has literature gathered its in- spirations and the great dramas and world poems are tragedies. But may not the time be near in which Christ can come Without being crucified? May not the inevitable social revolu- tion be also a revolution in revolu- tions—a freely chosen revolution of reason and love culminating in bloodless and glad • deliverance for every claSs of people? 'We cannot drive out the darkness by shoutingat it; We must bring in the light, for light alone' casts out darkness.

An r.xtraoraioary Scene on the Erfolltlera of Macedonia. Detween the curve of the Macedon- ian frontier of the mountable of Eleassia and the open telea 01Ettlee baba, which terminates the long western plain, of Thesealy, lie tho monaeteries of Afeteora, says The London Illustrated News. A casual glauce gives the idea et the whole space being oceupied by lines of bare Wile, but en a. uearer iuspeetion curious araphitheeter is found, carve ed out among the mountains. and this is occupied by a most extraor,- (Unary collection of rocks, on which are perched, like storksnests. or the turban on n Turkish tandastoue, the eeriel monasteries of Meteera. In one place a huge monolith is failed literally erowned with Indidirigs, as is the ease of the monastery of AU ‘ItintS, popularly known as liaglos Barium; in enother a group of jagged rocks will have one point capped by a =mastery, as is seen in St, •Nicholas. Tee most striking features about these monasteries is the method by which they are reach- ed, either by loose ladders hanging outside the perpendicular rocka Or by being wound up by means of a wind - lees in a. net at the end of n rope. From its beautiful position, ita size and the fair preservation al its buildings the monastery of Males Ilarlaam is it very good specimen of these fifteenth -century mouasteries, but what makes this one of special interest is that the rope is said to be the longest used for the purpose —340 feet. The ladders to this mon- astery are not so difficult to climb as some, but inesinuch as they pull out every tirae you grip them and oscillate frightfully it is pleasanter to risk the not. The monastery of Unglos Nikolaos appeared to be in a. totally dilapi- dated condition and entirely desert- ed, when we visited lefeteora, while the ladders, which rise from a neigh - hoeing peak and hang &inn the bare rock, are impracticable. An these monasteries are under the archiman- drite, a man of conunanding pre- sence aud saintly countenauce. The village of Kastraki is jammed in be- tween the outer, rocks of, this curious amphitheater, und in. the slit of this rocky wall at the back of the village stands a most pectiliar hourglass - looking monolith. The rocks on either side are perforated with strange holes, which in the four- teenth century were inhabited by the monks of St. Anthony. A Strange Experience. Here is the strange experience of a young merchant in Philadelphia. Prior to getting married about two months ego he had his tailor make him a 'very line suit for evening dress. The material was of the best imported broadcloth, and the suit was lined throughout with the best silk. The fit was an excellent one, and the young benedict was very proud of his swallow -tail suit. Soon after returning from his honeymoon a very intimate friend of his bache- lor days called and asked for the loan of the suit, saying that he wanted to attend a reception, and would be sure to return the clothes promptly. The merchant found it impossible to refuse and granted his friend's request. Three weeks elaps- ed and the clothes had not been re- turned. The merchant called at his friend's house to enquire the cause. His surprise may be imagined when he was told that his friend had been dead for almost a week. After ex- pressing his sorrow, he gently broached the subject of his dress suit. "Why, We found the suit in his closet, and buried him in it," was the reply. Now Mr. Merchant is mourning a dear friend and an ex- pensive suit of clothes. • • • The Sensitive Plants. Plants for the pleasure and in- struction of children are often sought for. The . sensitive plant, Mimosa pudica, is an excellent one for this purpose. It is easily raised froth seeds sown in spring. The habit is rather sprawling for a pot plant, but by a little pinching in management, compact specimens may be obtained. Few plants give more interest to •children in watching the leaves close or fall on being touched. Even grown peopls have their attention attracted by the remarkable motion. —Meehan's Monthly* • The End of FOX Hunting. It •would be useless to deny that the golden age of fox *hunting is oyer.

The larvm of the first brood seldom cause much injury, while those of the second brood are often ex- ceedingly. destructive. Where the cran- berry bogs can be flooded With water it the proper season for destroying the arvm, this method is very effective, but III tna.ny cases it is impossible to use water in this way. Experiments were heed with arsenate of lead, which woe used as a spray at the rate of 9 pounde to 150 gallons of water. The firstappla =time was made In the early part of Tune. The second brood of caterpillars appeared during the first part of July, Ind a second application was made, the insecticide being used at the rate of Mtge pounds to 150 gallons of water. Nearly all the larvae were destroyed, and a great saving in the eitenberry crop was the result of this method. It was found that three men tvith a good outfit could Pray eight acres of cran- berry bog in ten hours. A. Source. of Club Root.

"Wlint kind or a man is this Wood, the colored merchant down the street?" he asked in the store of a white man, judging that there if anywhere be might hear an unfavorable opinion. The mercbant supposed iur. Thrasher to be a traveling salesman and answer- ed: "You can sell him any amount of goods. He'll pay for them every time?" Then Mr. Thrasber went on to the store, where he found everythieg In the most prosperous condition. In the course of bis talk with the merchant they stepped to tbe open back door, and there Wood began calling: "Suke, suke, sukel Ho, there, sukel" Then there came a, grunting under- neath the floor, which was raised a lit tle from the ground, and presently there came crawling out an enormous hog. "That's my hog," said the merchant "I raise one every year, though there'ff no reason why I should, for Pm not married, and I don't keep house. I raise them as object lessons. It does not take ranch of anything to feed them, except the waste from the store, and see how fat they grow!' "Then I get the negro farmers who come here to trade to look at my hog and see what can be done by keeping the animals shut up and fed instead of letting them run wild. Then I tell them they might as well have hogs like mine as their thin razorbacks. All they need do is to shut up the pig in a pen of -rails and set the children to gathering acorns for him. "I can't start a school here," he con- cluded. "I tried that and failed, but I can at least teach the fatmers how to raise hogs."

Not only does the increase of native, musicians yearly tend to make the supply much greater than the de- mand, but there Is never a •eisiting or- chestra that does not leave behind it a certain part of its forces. The Banda ' Rossa, Strauss' orchestra and an or- chestra that came here with an opera company all left some of their mem- bers behind them, and it is not in t'fie least unlikely that the same thing will happen when the Leipsic orchestra, now on its way to this country, de- cides to go home. Sometinaes the players are under con- tract and must return to EuroPe, but they generally come back to the United States as COCal as the opportunity of- • fers. It is to prevent this too rapid increase that the union has raised the initiation fee, because without being one ok its Members no musician can • readily find employment here. In spite of the excessive supply of which they complain, musicians are still so much better paid in this country than In Eu- rope tliat it will be many years before their emigration to this country comes to an end.—New York Sun Many a. school- girl is said 4,,,o be lazy and shiftless when she doesn't deserve the least bit a it.

There you will find variety for one thing, the earth al- ways cool and moist around the roots, perennially mulched with the falling and decaying leaves, the ab- sence of greedy, moisture absorbing grasses, decaying wood and leave ever encircling the store of humus lir the soil, the most periect conserva- tion of moisture possible; see all this and then go and buy a tree of some peddler, dig a round hole in a. blue- grass sod or on some sun beaten sterile hillside and plant your tree and expect the good Lord to raakee your tree grow. Xriow this, that success with tree planting always' lies along the line of following na- tural conditions as closely as possi- ble. Children Cry for ASTI R A.
