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,

it is none the less pathetic and in-
StrUctive as outlaying the senti-,
Monis and eharacter of a people so

croachment on their cherished rights
and liberties.

The index of boolfs at the Britieh

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

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

only about eighty are circulated, half

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—"

Prof. George L. lierron, i the
course of his recent lecture on "The
World -Making Motive," said:
"A far-reaChing ideal is connnonly
ObieCted to as n Motive on the
grounct that human nature is un-.
ehanging and that it is not Weans -
tic. 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

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. Wo'cannot overcome any
kind of wrong or injuztice by attack-,
ing it; we can only fundamentally
overcome evil with good. It is only
a trusted ideal of good that can re -
the good.

MONASTERIES OF METEORA.
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.

It •would be useless to deny that
the golden age of fox *hunting is

The Cranberry Fireworm.
The larvre of Ithopobota vacciniana,
Dr cranberry fireworm, cause consid-

The idea of insuring druggists
against loss from their owe, mistakes
originated la the belief of a number
of leading pharmacists that 'they were
the victims of a gang of rogues who
Made a practice of pretending that
wrong medicines had been given te
some menMer of their families, some-
times with serious results, The gat%
was partly broken up by the fidelity
cm:111=y which first assumed the re-
sponsibility of proteetiog druggists at
e5 a year eeele Au efficer of thisCOM-
ta:says that there are fully 1,000
mistakes a year in the compoundlog of
d
"While there are so Inany genuiaa
mistakes," he continued, "there are
MARY alleged errors hi mixing medi-
cines, audt some of the complaints are
invented for tbe sole purpose of ex-
tortiug money flora the retail drug-
gists. Our COMMIS guarantees to pro-
tect druggists against themselves, but
tom main desire IS to prevent fraud on
the part of those who want to black-
mail One of one Climate for something
be has not done.
"It is a serious matter to make
mistake In mixing drugs, but It is fro.
quently even more serious to the drug-
gist to -have it noised about that such
a mistake was made. I have /mown
chemists to be forced out of buSineal
by the publicity given to the feet that
they made a blunder. Dishonest pe.
sons have recognized the fear that
druggists haVe of an exposure of thie
kind and have taken advantage et the
knowledge.
"Since we underteok, to protect theta
a number of druggists here confessed
to paying big sums to persons who said
mistakes were made. I have the names
or half a dozen so called doctors Who
bave aided an east side gang that wful
engaged In the business of bleeding
eltemists.
"Stilt there Is nothing really remark-
able in this protection of druggists.
For instance, we have a. special lune -
AIM for saloon keepers, eautranteeing
them against financial loss through bee

Doing Wm Best.
Mr. M. B. Thrasher, a friend or Tete
kegee institute and its Mlle, says
that be once, made luquiries about a
certain graduate, a, shopkeeper in A111-
'1)031111, who seemed to be doing a Orly -
Ing business.
"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."

• The Musical nnlon has raised its ad-
mission fee in the hope that this ac-
tion may do something toward check-
ing the increase in the number of or.
ellestral musicians in the United
States. 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

Inter* Trees Grew.
Go into tee woods Where growls
the big timber and got a lesson honi
to grow a tree. 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.
