TROUBLES THAT NEVER ARRIVE. "Don't cross the bridge till you come to it, Xa a proverb old, and of excellent wit." —Longfellow. If that bit of a.dvice were only heed- ed, hove raiuch better and happier the world would be. Worrying is one , of the foes of life, it darkens what would otherwiise be a bright day ; it makes the gentle mother cross, the father ir- ritable, and the life of the child is a sad one. There is no need to worry, foe instead of advancing your catise It hinders it. There Dan only be so much af dark - nese, rain or sorrow, and the glorious sunshine comes again. The little tri- als of life are the sign -posts along Wee bagbavatY, showing the right road to take in the future; you may have taken the wrong one at first ; if so, You will know better tive next time. Take a different course, and you will not worry or. cross any 'bridges until you come to them. • "Everything goes wrong," you say,' "how can I help worrying ft" You halve gotten into the habit of expect- ing everything to -go wrong, have you not? "The baby is sure to have the colic" you say, or ",lohnny is sure to Ben 'his dean :Waist," or "Maudie is sure to forget to practice her lesson." Wity is it that you: are not eure that. the baby will keep well, that Johnny will keep clean, end. that Maudie will practical There is just as much reason to believe that they will as to worry ana.-expect trouble; trust a lit - tie •more and the day will .be bright- er.o Hope, cheerfulness, happiness and health are as contagious as the small- pox or soarlet fever ; the only reason that the fact LS net better known is that one does not to have to employ a doctor in these cases, and they do not put the dollars into the doctor's pockets. Ikherefore new germs have to be invented now an d then, or new names given to old diseasee to coun- teract the good. influence of these four dontagions, which are so very unheal- th,y to medical pocketbooks. 'Worry is e. fine thing for the doctor, but a 'very poor thing for the patient, ass it breaks up the whole system, and invites all kinds of troubles. We must not blame the doptors too much, since they Must make a livelihood. I only we'sli that people would realize that they are not nearly so necessary as they think they are. There is plenty of happiness and good in the, world, as well as sorrow and seeming badnese; you can have your shares as well as your neighbor. Expect it, demand it, declare that you can harm it:. that you. will have it, and then get it in the best and easiest way. You won't be poor, or sick, or miser- able long after you have learned that worrying doe,s not pay, and that cheerfulnesa.and loving kindness are magnets as povverful as the sun, and that every time you see them they vein drov. health, happiness and prosperity to you. Therefore, whatever you do, don't worry. "Some of your griefs you have endur- ed.

" "The Centurlonse Servant Healed." LIMO Gado I'ext. ems lea. PRA.OTIOA.T.i NOTES. Verse. 1. When he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the pect. ple. "Sayings" here refers to the Ser- mon on the Mount ; "audience" has its original meaning of bearing; "the pea, ple" are the multitudes that constant- ly thronged bins ; and the whole verse eimply means that* at the conclusion a the Serision on the Mount Jesus went to hie home in Capernaum. 2. A certain centurion's servant. A centurion in the Roman army was an officer in command of one hundred men. Each of the, 'several eenturions of the New freatament iii mentioned faverably. It bas been guessed that this centurion was in the armY Of Herod Antipas. He was a Gentile, Matt. 8. 10. That be was a "proselyte" is -mot probable, for proselytes ara us- ually referred to as either "devout men" or "men who feared God, while our Lord draws a definite line be- twe.en this heathen and the sons of the kingdom. But evidently this cen- turion was a man a lofty morals and wide huraan sympathies, or his jewish neighbors, whose prejudices at the beginning must have been all against him, would not have been won over to his side. He was rich aleo and gener- ous. The "servant" was a slave, whose duties were those of a personal servant, possibly of a confidential clerk." Matthews says, "Re lieth home." Dear unto him is literally "held in value by" or "precious to" him. The narrative throughout in- dicates the master's respect for and. fondness of the slave. Was sick, Lit- erally, "he was" in bad condition," was ill; and Matthew tells us* that he was palsied or paralyzed and grievouely tormented. His disease may have been progressive patelysis or tetanus, some .form. of nervous cramps. Ready to die. Apparently past all help, Palestine is to -day, as it was in the time a Christ, a land withoet come petent physicians. 3. 'When het heard of Weans.

He was a foreiginer by blood; a heathen in religion, and al representative af tryanny, -but by his 'kindness of heart o,nd justice of behavior he had won the friendship of the loyal religionists end hot-headed patriots of Galilee—a truly remark- able man. He • had."himself" built this housaof. worship—that is, 'entirely. at his own exex3nse. A little of Gali- lean free air and largeness of concep- tion, aa well as ranch of the centur- ian's nobility, is hinted at by the very fact that a heathen was permitted to. build 'sae holy a strtioture. . Such a thing would hardly have been toler- ated in Judea.- . 6. lotus went -With them, PromptlY. responded to the faith of the centur- ion and the ineseengers- "I will come and heal him," he said. lite was noW not far irons the house.

I pob warthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof, His humility rind hie faith were equally remark- able. To his, view Jesus was a 'moult-, arly holy -rabbi.

Neither thought Imyself worthy 0 Nem& unt0 thee. Thie man is one f a type, and should be carefully sta- led. There are people in our Own ay who deeply reverence God and witness, but who from undue diffi- ence -or beclauded religious views hrink froth identification with God's people, It may help us to get dose o such if we can understand this man's position, who, though classed as a pagan, was in full sympathy with the Sews, and had the faith of a Chris- ten, Every sinful sould should be a subject of special study. The Church never outgrow the so-called "re- ival methods ;" but every good meth - d lias ineldervtal faults as well ttfi nherent merits, and the fault of the revival Methods' is that they too ften deal With sOuls by the whole - ale, and regard sinners in mass. No vvo subjects of Christ's saving pow - ✓ are alike or need °redly the sante anifestation of grace.

One of the grandest enterprises for the benefit of the poor of this city will be dedicated to them in the aqua - lid Shoreditelt district on Saturday next, says a London letter. The County Council has built 23 blooke of model dwellings, comprising 1,100 tenements, and they are to be thrown open to the use of the poor. The un- dertaking is known as the Boundary Street Estate. The work began ten years ago. Xt. Was the intention a the Council to transform a slum, where the death rate was 40.13 per 1,000, against 18.8 for the rest of the city, into a district in which the poor would have some chance to survive amid healthy lour- roundings. The tenements, whieh will be operat- ed so that they will cause no loss whatever in, the city, but earn an in- terest, will be let either as single rooms far 81 cents a week, in sets of two rooms for 4)1.32 to 412 a week, three rooms for 81.70 to $2.28 or four rooms at from e2.16 to $2. Work- shops will let at from 84 cents to el..56 a week each. There will be baths in the dwell- ings. COld baths will cost the ten- ants two cents and hot baths four amts. There will be well-app.ointed steam laundries, too, with wringing machines, mangles, iroil stoves and boiling water for stareli, Women will pay for the use of the lau,ndry the moderate sum of three cents an hour. One block has been furnished with baths in the proportion -of one to each four of the tenants. • CIRCULAR PARK. The d.wellings are built around a circular park, In the centre of which there will be a band -stand. On the estate are :two public sehools, one ahurch school and two churches, one of wbini2 is built over a common lodg- Mg house. There is a club on the estate •for the tenantry. It is con- ducted on temperance lines and. bOas a library. , • Tbe estate stands -on the site atone of London's Most notorious sluin die- tricts, known as the "Old Nichol." It is described minutely Un- der the title of ''..The Jago" in Arthur Morrison's story, "A Child of the J ago." , A• population of 6,094 persons was displaced by the sellable, which cov- ers 171-3 acres. In two ciammon lodg- ing houses, which have been removed, 153 persons were found to be living. In 752 single rooms were 2.118 persons and 3,265 in 506 two -room tenements. They were the poorest unskilled' laborers. Besides button -makers, hose -makers, charwomen and washer- women were many bad characters. In one small street alone Jived twenty tickets of leave men. They were transferred to other dis- tricts, their new homes being inspect- ed by the officers of the County Coun. ell. Most are 'artisans of the better elass—policemen, postmen and a few' clergymen, sehoolmasters and church workers. The total cost of the reconstruction of the district is placed at about $1,- 62.5,000. The city will get 31-2 per cent. interest on this, and a sinking fund wilt be proeided that 'will pay off the capital cost in 60 years. Thirteen liquor licenees on the grounds have been cancelled, and no pulalic housee will. be allowed on the estate. ALCOHOL AND ANARCHY.: • Prot Cesare Lombroso recently had an opportunity to teat scientifically the effect of alocthol in developing latent criminal tendencies. The sub- ject of his experiments was a man who had surrendered himself to the police with the avowal that anarchists wish- ed to make him their instrument for assassinating the King a Italy. The man seemed sane, but no corrobora- tion of his story could be obtained. Unexpectedly, after drinking wine, he broke out into anarchistic threats. Acting upon this hint, Professor Lora- broso adrabiistered alcohol to him le carefully measured. quantities, and discovered that after he had drunk a certain amount he developed violent criminal tendepcies, all recolleetion oe which appeared to have vanished frona his mind when the effect of tile alto- hol had,passed off. • 'SOUNDS HEARD IN A BALLOON. Mr. 3. M. Bacon, the Englishman, who with his daughter made a lofty balloon ascent to observe the meteor last November, tolls some interesting things about the sounds that reached their ears. At the height of 6,000feet the ringing 0,f horses' feet on a hard road could be heard. At 4,000 feet the splashing sound made by ducks in a pond fIrtte audible. The barking of dogs and the crowing of cooks could be heard, at 7,000 or 8,000 feet. These sounds penetrated through a white floor of cloud which hid the earth from sight. In the perfect silence of the air around the balloon they wore startled by What seemed stealthy footsteps'close at hand. Inyeetigation showed' that this isound was calmed by the atretobing of the ropes and the yielding of the as the balloon con - tinned to expand.

And yet the work went dn. Cluhs followed -clubs and federations of clubs made the agony thicker, The Inter- national Col111011, at London, came on apace, and women, whom ancient cuetom, and prejudice might have cruehed, or sorrow silenced, were borne oa their sister's arms to places of power and honor, which neither a Fra.nces Low or Lyman J. Abbott can steal away from them. Yet I:le- thal& that they have yet achieved or are ever likely to achieve le) more sig. ailment than the revelation of that u,nselfish love •for eecte' other and joy an each others' advancement, which thetr work' unfolds. .01 course, there are women and women, and some poor sisters may• have encountered the spiteful sort, who tell that your charms are false, your 'anitability as- sumed for the occasion and your club papers cribbed from Jahn Stu•art Mill Burton, Burke or any other old worthy least likely to 'give you aviray tO the modern public. But fortunately there are others, who know from sweet ex- perience, that there is nothing more. generous, whole-souled and spontane- ous than the manner in which acorn - pally 'of true women' will leap up to .recognize anything of the least real merit 'that one of their number may accomplish and speed her "on her way to eomething better. Amd this un- questionably is the aeeret orthepower .whichi clubs have hod' in bringIng to the front WOMEN Oh' REAL TALNET, yet timid nature, w,ho. would never have been heard of without them.. It is not alone in a:agonized societies and public charities, in all directions, that women ere showing their tender interest in each) other. Perhips the greatest wonder of the age is Helen Kellar, and it was a devoted woman's private care and training that made her _possible,. and from the New York Institute for the afflicted comes the store of another unfortunate blind girl, Mattie Moorehouse, guided into the land where Lit is always sunshine and song through, the devotion•of ehe "Friend Mary," who beceme eyes lor her andtaught her a thouland cherry oSts,:from crotheting fine lac.e to tuening out hymns on the typewriter: The 'dory of woman's devotion to woman and the Omuta. of womanhood in these latter days is indeed so com- mon and familiar that it is almost a werk. of supererogation to give much consideration th it. ' Ana yet, it has a truth and bearing by no means re-, cognized by' the ordinary observer, .or • covered by the. ordinary features of - feminine friendship. Of, course, since the days of Ruth and Naomi, theo have always been. kindred spirits among women swear- ing eternal fealty to each other. Some one has recently been calling atten- tion to the lifelong friendship that ex- isted between •the two. remarkable, but dissimilar, women, Mme• eitaei -*mid Mme. Recap:tier, and mere, notable still is the bond. which drew the white-souled Mrs. Browning to that erratic genius, 'George Sand. When all the world was darkening praise' -with personal criticism and condemnation of her, Mrs. Browning fearlessly declared that she was the greatest woman of the age, a free creature of genius, blazing through all conventions and conditions the. path of the soul. Special ties and sympath- ies, comprehensible or incompre- hensible, have drawn special women, like special men,. together in the• mystics bonds of friendship since time began. But it is nothing whatever of this sort that. the present setting of the feminine heart in the direction of her own sex implies. It is simply tieward woman as woman that her thofight is turned. It is to that deep and awful soul of woman which Baudelaire has called the most terrible and pathetic thing in the uni- verse, that her own soul goes out, and, in so doing, ORANGES THE WHOLE CURRENT of her iheught and being. Mme. Jerome Bonaparte deolared that all the women of her day had the "man mania." Some short-sighted in- dividuals think they have it still. But he who commands the outlook can see that its day is done, and that the wo- man mania has taken the field. It is all very well for club presidents and orators to call so loudly and sweetly to their brothers that their lively in- terest in each other in no way dimin- ishes their tender regard for them; but you can watch for yourself where the men come in In the case and draw your own conclusions. It is all very well for the gentle Countess of Aberdeen to try to call a halt in her own ranks and advise her eager sisters that the one -sex club is antagonizing the other half of hu. manity, and sowing enmity between man and woman, but she can not turn back the tide of destiny or give the man who lias disappointed her a charm to recover herself in woman'a Interest, at nmy be a lonesome world without hina, but she is bound to face R.

It Is estimated that the available d coal in the coal -beds of Great Britain ✓ and Ireland is no less than 140,000 mile d tone, a quantity large enough to n last, at the present rate of output, t for 025 years ; or, for home consump- e tion only, for more than a century ✓ and a quarter longer. So that it will s be quite time for the Britian house- - holder to begin to grow anxious about • hie coal supply somewhere about the Y year 2590, by which time the use of Y coal may be de obsolete se the use of e flint and steel to -day. a It the British. supply of coal were a equally distributed o.mong all the in - ✓ habitants of the United Kingdom there t would be an allowance of 4466 tons for oohs man, woman, and child ; while . Y. eaeh family would have ta'find accom- modation for something like 16,600 tons, or as much coal as would, out - t weigh the entire population of Briley ' Y tot to -day. We. might eVell, in en , access of generosity, distribute our y coal .broadcast over the entire world, and yet allow the liberal portion of ninety-three tons to every inhabitant. The task of bringing this huge de- posit of coal to the surface would be so stupendous that, if AN ARMY OF 75,000 MEN, much more than a fourth of our regu- lar army, tad commenced to dig it on tlea very eirst day of creation, ace cording to Bibleal ceronotogy, and had stack to their task through all the intervening fifty-nine centuries, they would only now be within a measur- -able distance of completing it. through a suspended life -buoy, then go hand over band up to the bridge, run aoro.ss that and down the gang- way to the foreoastle, where they must scramble, on hands and knees, under a hammock -netting lashed down on the deek. As they run down by the bowethey find a rove ladder swung from a swaying rope ten or twelve feet above the deck, up wbich they must allude over the rope and down the Other side. The next obstacle is a canvas venti- iation funnel, lashed down on deok, throug.h which they must crawl, like a rat through a draM; and lastly, a rope, loosely stretclied across the quarter-deok, about eight • feet high, Must be.got over in some fashion. And all this is not even so easy as it reads. The ladies' obstacle race, although not so exacting, is productive of great amusement. Starting 'amidshipe, perhaps, they run to a folding deok- chair, lying flat. This they must raise, put together and sit in, then work out a Bum 11,11 simple addition chalked on the deck under the oliair, refold the chair and cover their sum, run ta a skipping-rope, skip half a dozen times, then hop around the quarter-deck on the port side, where they find a gentleman provided with a life -belt. They must 'wait while their partner adjusts the belt in a secure manner. Then they run to the goal together.

Th first enterprise was a water-powe scheme, which was to attract variou power-asing industries. The Wren Lion of electrical transmission ba made water -power available for man uses, and the great aznount of energ going to waste at the outlet of Lek Superior attraeted the attention of number of Amerioan investors.

Tim .mill, started on a smal scale, was increased. to a capacity o 150 tons per day. To dry the pulp for shipment necessitated the 'construe tion of new ;machinery, and for that purpose a foundry and machine shop were built. The next enterprise was the manufacture a selpailde pulp, of the fibrous grade, necessarx for paper- caphaukri niga d otihleer ncoseelsottfrybringing set_ che,micals to the pulp mills were made to Induce the managers df the nickel mines of Sudbury to save the sulphur which was roasted in the roasting process. Not discouraged by the unfavorable results of former experiments, the company propured the services of ex- pert chemists, who devised a soheme. for saving the sulphur formerly waist- ed in the nickel ore. THE NEXT MOVE was the purchase of an' ore deposit for $100,000, and the development of a mine, the ore being roasted and the .sulphur saved for use at the pulp mills. Therewere still some by-pro- ducts to utilize and some ohemioals to obtain, and the ore was found .to contain a combination of nickel suit- zble far the manufacture of nickel steel. • Some of the ore was found to contain copper, and to separate it a refining plant was established with adequate capacity. • • . The manufacture a nickel steel re- quired a supplY of iron, and it was believed that the metal did not exist in huge quantities north of Lake Superior. But, 'having already found so much in Algoma, Mr. Morgue and eis associates had confidence in the reseurces of the district, and the re- sult of prospecting expeditions show- ed their.confidence to have been wise- !), placed. They found a deposit of iron ore containing several million tons. To reach this iron deposit rind to increase the supply of pulpwood it is propelled to extend the company's railway, the Algoma Central, to fflichi- plooten, some 200 miles in all. It is intended 'to have this line completed in two years. Tbe possibilities of this combination a • NEWEL AND IRON ' hails. bon brought to the 'attention of the Krupp firm, and a market With the' famous. Minn:takers is. aasured. To utilize same of the by-producta and to procure • the alkalis neeeseary in• the pulp and reduction works it ,was de- cided to establish a chemical Works, and' to undertake the Manufacture of bleaching. powder. This important Product is used in treating' the sul- phide pulp.' The unique feature is that all these industries are supplied by material' produced ie the district. The only important ingredient not ob- tained in Algoma is salt, and that is a product of southwestern Ontario. The men•associated with Mr. Clergue era -New York and Philadelphia' capi- talists. • They -have already spent same 05,000,000 in developing the vari- ous industries they have undertaken, and it is estimated that they will spend ahout $20,000,000 in live years. Anot,her feature of these enterprises is the cash basis an which they have been launched. The railway has not been bonded, nor has it .been helpe.d by the promiscuous sale of share capi- tal. All the other euterprises or other features of • the giant enter - :tee whitayv, eandbeen established in the THE. ADVANCE OF BONDS and floating capital, speaks well for the confidence of the promoters in the resources of the district. The lesson iinpressed by this development is the great value of our natural resourdes and' the folly of being in haste to ali- enate them. If we have the wealth in the forest, in mineral deposits, in the wasted energy of great waterfalls, or even in agricultural land, it is cer- tain to be .developed AB the world's demands and the discoveries of science make such developMetit remunerative. A. large industrial population will soon be gathered at Sault Ste. Marie as a result of tile varied natural -re- sources of the distriet and the corn- binatian enterprises that are de- veloping them. These investors. have not come forward with a request for export or import obstructions, al- though Mr. Morgue in his addreas seemed to favor an export duty on pulpwood as a means of securing to- ciprocal advantages. Already there is at Sault Ste. Marie the largest pulp - producing' works In the world, and a coMplete organization of mixtly im- portant industries, by which all by- products are utilized and the advant- ages a nature's bounties retained .within the Province.

From this block of coal, which is our legacy to commg generations, we could fashion one stupendous column rising as high as Mount Everest, the ' loftiest peak in the world, and with a base three and a half miles long and over two ladles, wide. On the top of our coal-columb. we could find room for eleven and a half Hyde Parks and Comfortable standing rbom for all the inhabitants a the United Kingdom and the United States. All the railway. systems • of the . world would be mtserably inadequate • for the transport of our yeeerve or coal, which would be •sufficient to fill every truck in the world no fewer than 5,800 times: We should, in fact, • have to requisition no fewer than 20,. 000 milliOn trucks, each carrying a load of seven tone ; and our train would reach almost eight -ninths of the way to the sun., It may, perhaps, help us to some conception of our train 4-, when we discover that, running night and day-iat the rate of thirty milea au hour, it would take MORE THAN THREE CENTURIES 301 years, to travel its own long Merely 1.0 have compassed its own length by now it would have been nec- essary to start. it on its journey in the far -away days of "Good Queen Bess." If we cut up our train itito shorter lengths and content ourselves with in- dividual trains long enough to con- nect Charing Cross with the meon, we should have a separate lunar tram for every day of eleven months, or a total of 335 trains. • Coiled around the earth on paraliel lines we could girdle the Equator with a beet of coal trains nearle-seven miles in width. Almost more remarkable than the quantity of our reserve coal is its value. Taking only the value at the pit's mouth, there is the almost in- conceivable treasure of R56,000,000,000 lying hidden in the coaabeds of Great Britain and Ireland ; so that the United 'Kingdom holds in her dark cellars 4 2-3 times as much wealth, in coal alone, ap she boasts on the sur- face. If it were possible to divide this treasure equally amcmg all the in- habitants of the United Kingdora to- day there weuld be the confortable al- lowance of £1,380 for eaeh man, we- ' man, and child. The value of Our coal is, in fact, equal( to 16s. out of every pound, of the entire wealth of the world; luta tbe gold that would purchase our coal would twice out -weigh the entire population of London. If we place these 440,000 tons of sove- reigns in truck, each truck contain- ing ten tons of gold, we should require for its transport a train Jon? enough to connect Ettston Station with Chea- ter.; while we might with our soy- ereigne pave every "square inch of . Hyde Park every day for seventeen days, and still have many acres of . gold. to spare. With the very interest' of our coal gold, invested at 8 per cent., we could pay for ever the whole cost of gov- erning the world and the food -bill of every family in Great Britain and Ire- land. • He Sent the Pork.
