It is not as easy to describe the customs of Christmas as it would be to tell of the English or the American ways of celebrating, because the customs of my people differ according to their habitat. Scattered as the Armenians are from Constantinople and other cities to the little villages in Asia Minor, there are. many observances that are almost purely local, Some of these, however, are extremely interesting. To begin, Christmas is not observed on the same day with us as ‘it is here, for there is a difference of 42 days in the calendar, as every body knows. So our Christmas falls on your Jan, 6. Coming, as it does, so near New Year’s day, it is not so much of a social occasion as it probably would be otherwise, but as a religious festival it ranks with Easter, and the two days are the principal feasts of the year. . “The religious services are most impressive. Our churches differ from. yours in some ways, for there are no pews in them, and we adorn them as richly as we are able to do, The principal service on Christmas day is a sort of high mass that is celebrated before daybreak. Everybody who is able to do so goes to this mass, at which the highest church dignitary in the neighborhood always officiates. If there is an archbishop near, he is the ono; if ;not, it is the bishop. And everybody wears his very best clothes. It is a general custom to give thochildrena new suit of clothes if possible on Christmas. If the parents cannot afford.so much, they: will at.least contrive to give some article of dress, if it is only a pair of new slfoes. This has led to another e¢ustom which is in vyogue especially in Constantinople, where tlie Armenian children are all educated in our parochial schools. »These schools are located in the churchyards and are, of course, supported by the churches, Somo of the children: are very poor, and a collection is always taken up at the Christ mas service in the chureh for the purpose of buying new clothes for the children whose parents cannot clothe them properly. There is.one very benevolent geutleman, a merchant in Constantinople, whom Lknow very welk-who always buys a great number of suits at Christmas—from 20 to 60 or 70, according to what he can afford. The making of presents at Christmas is not perhaps as general among our people as it is here, though in the cities we are rapidly adopting European’ customs, Presents are given, but most frequently by superiors to their inferiors or by elders to children. After the church services the people greet one another with a special salutation. One says, ‘‘Christ is born,’’ and the reply is, ‘ Blessed ia the birth of Christ,’’ This is as they return to their homes from church. a Later in the day there is @ general interchange of yisits, much like the fashion ef New Year's calls, which is still kept up in some parts of thiscountry, though with this difference: It is deemed almost obligatory for inferiors to callon superiors, and for the younger members of the community to call on the elder. There is, of course, no law about this, but if an employer, for-example, should not receive a call from each of his employees, he would feel that his dignity had not been properly respected, and the employee would feel that he had been rude, to say the least, I remember that my father used to reprove me severely if I failed to callon any one who had a right to expect a visit from me, When the visitor arrives at the house of the person ho is calling on, he is received according to his station. If he is a dependent or a servant or hired man, he may ‘very likely receive a small present of money; porhaps only ae much as 26 cents, or perhaps $5 or $10, or he may, especially in the country, receive food or clothing. If he is a social equal, he will be entertained with arrack and fruits and sweets. Fruits are much used, too, for trifling gifts. i I should say that the greeting on entering the house on one of these visits id’similar to the morning salutation. The guest says, ‘‘Christ is born and made manifest to us,’’ and the reply is, ‘‘ Blessed are the birth and the manifestation of Christ,’’ Ono oustom is worth mentioning, The ties on Christmas day, carrying bags, and go from house to house singing a sort of .Christinas carol or song about the birth of Christ. Icannot recall the exact words, but it tells the old story and. bas a refrain: “Good tidings! Good tidings!" They go on the roofs:of the houses, for the houses of the villagera-are-almost—underground, and. the roofs are easily reaphed, and as they sing they let the bags down in front of the doors, and the people put in them whatever they feel disposed to give. Somotimes it will be a little money, and sometimes it will be something the boys can easily sell for money to havea good time with, and sometimes it will be some kind of trash put in for fun, but everybody is good natured. Christmas among my people is hardly what it is here, but the spirit ofthe day is the same, and perhaps it is only poverty that makes the difference. Mp Gt4 4 uy f (Arminog Haig.)

How an Old_Tar Came Near Being Cooked For Dinner, “T never think of Christmas turkeys without rememberin-the time I come near to bein the turkey myself,’’ said an aged sailor tothe group of seamen who surrounded him as he sat upon the end of an old spar on South street, New York. The ancient marinet's name was Jack Brown, and as he had followed the sea as man and boy for over 50 years and had cruised in every part of the world the group listened in respectful silence, well knowing that when old Jack. Brown started to spin a yarn it was sure to be well worth hearing. ‘ “Tt was away back in 1840, and I was little more than a youngster then—only about 18. I had bunked aboard tha Jolly Rover; but, mates, she didn’t prove to be what her name indicated. We left this port for Melbourne, weathered Cape Horn os safe from Davy Jones’ Tooker as a mountain. a mile inland, and all was sooth goin until we were a week’s sail into the south Pacific. Then a storm struck us that sent us scuddin along under bare poles like a Mother Carey's chicken afore a cygione. “T’'ve run afore many a gale, mates, but that hurricane could give points to any of 'eni, One minute the Jolly Rover would plunge out of sight into a big wave, and the next she would seem to be perched like the ark on a Mount Ararat of water. The gale blew nearly all night without a moment's pause, All we could do was to let herrun. Suddenly she struck with a shock that made every timber oreak, I was below, but I rtished on deck, expeotin the ship would. go down. An ‘instant later a big wave came over the rail, washed ine Overboard and swept me on and on, I kept my head above water part of the tine, avery moment.expectin to be dashed agin the rocks. To my joy, I was washed up on a sandy beach. Luckily I-had strength enough left te get up and run inland a few feet before the next wave caught me, “Day was just breakin, and as I looked around I saw Captain Stout, Second Mate Bill Fry and Jim English crawlin out of a big wave and helped 'em up the beach, ** ‘Look!’ yells ‘Fry, shakin the water from his eyes. ‘There she goes!’ © ‘As wo glanced in the direction of the Jolly Rover she staggered like some gigantio animal with a mortal wound and sank beneath the waves. We watched the beach for an hour, but. not another man came ashore. Hvery Jack Tar of ‘em. was drowned. Then we started inland to explore the placo, We didn’t feel at all at ease, mates, because Captain Stout figured as how we must be on one of the smallest of the Solomon .islands, which we know was inhabited by the toughest lot of oan. nibals and head hunters in the Pagsiflo, ‘We realized that we were dead men if we wore captured, and we kept a sharp lookout for thes¢sannibals while we were takin inthe lay of the land. We saw many cocoanut and breadfruit trees,-but the island was apparently uninhabited, I say apparently because about half an hour afters we landed a& dozen ugly, tattooed savages leaped upon us from the bushes. i knooked one of ‘om off his ign weste. big warelub brought me to the grass, and Stout, Fry and Mnglish had no_ better luck, The savages were armed with clubs, bows and arrows and bone pointed spears, and their hair was thick and bushy and was stuck full of sticks for hairpins, **Wo were all bound band and foot, and then the savages carried us toa village near by, where we were thrown into a hut and guarded by two big black’ fellows armed-with clubs, “* ‘Mates,’ says English, ‘did you notice what was hangin up agin the hut next to us?’ We all said, ‘No.’ ‘Well,’ says he, ‘it was the flesh of human bein's, and, as Japtain Stout feared, these fellera with elubs is cannibals.’ : ‘* “Tf they are, our goose is cooked, and —and so are we,’ the captain says with a hollow sort of a laugh, ‘Blast’ my eyes,’ he says, ‘if tomorrow ain’t Christmas day too! Perhaps these blacks are goin to have us help ‘em make their turkey dinner a success.’ Weall shuddered, and Jack Brown for one thought he had seen New York for the last time. Welay in the hut all day and the followin night. The saviges fed ns very well, and while we enjoyd the moss we couldn’t help thinkin that the black villains were givin. it to us to make us more fat and eatable, Noxt mornin we heard a great yollin and poundin of tamtams, and Fry, who could look through a erack in the hut, said that a big party of blacks had. just returned from somewhere in large war canoes and had with 'em a dozen native prisoners, ‘(Tf looks,’ says Fry, ‘as if our captors bave been makin war on another tribe that lives in this village.” The prisoners they have with ‘em evidently got away when the village was attacked, but were chased inland and captured,’ ‘« Wry’d'guess proved correst, and we soon found that our captors did not live on the island, but on another targe one about five miles away. Justafter sunriso Christmas day we,were loaded into big, handsomely carved war canoes along with the dozen nativé prisoners, and the savages paddled across & wide channel to their own island, On the: shore was a jative village, and about 1,000 dancin, yellin drum ‘beatin blacks of both sexes welcomed the return of the war canoes, loaded dawn as they were with Christmas turkeys. “Well, matos, the savages carried us up the beach a short distance and dropped us near an ugly idol 20 feet high, Several hundred fires were built near by, and then most of the savages gathered in a circle around the idol. Pretty soon a dozen of the tallest blacks, all armed with long, sharp spears, danced around the idol'to the music of a hundred tamtams, and then they ranged the dozen native prisoners in a line facin the idol and speared the poor blacks through and through, “Tl won't describe the horrible scene that followed, except to say that we lay there expectin every minute would be our last and saw the cannibals cook and devour ‘their victims. ‘« (They’re savin. us for dessert,’ says the captain. , ‘But ther didn’t save us‘long. In a very few in utes the 12 big savages were leadin us t' ward the idol, and we were sayin goojuy to one another. Death seemed very licear when suddenly we hoard the boom of a dozen cannon, An tustant later shells exploded right and left among the cannibals, killin scores of them. The remainder took one look at the British man-o’-wat, lyin in the channel haif a mile away, and then fled, panic stricken, “We sailors were spon tackin fox the Seach with every sail drawin, you can pet, and when the warship’s boats picked us. up Jack Brown for one was heartily thankin heaven he'd saved his wishbone!” EaRLe H.

Fifth.—It's a good thing to remember tbat the recording angel is likely to make a bigger entry to your credit on his books because of the gift of a half worn overcoat to a shivering fellow man ¢r.q dinner to a half starved and possibly grimy urchin than because of a costly jewel given toa favorite of fortune, Sixth,—Christinas is the day of all the year on which the unlovely’ traits of your character should be smothered, and it would be a great thing for you if you were to manage in some way this year to get rid of those traits altogether. In‘England the day after Christmas ‘fboxing day'' as {tis oalled, is a day of greater festivity among the working classes than Christmas itself, ‘' Boxing day’ is 80 called from the Christmas boxes, each containing money given by the rich to the poor in olden times. . Water Glaas, The eminent chemist, Dr. Grothie, is quoted as declaring that water glass has a great future in store in bleaching, and that in his opinion it will entirely displace soda. Such substances as jute, which formerly could not be bleached without injury to the threads, are therefore capable of being quickly treated in the following manner: The~ yarn is steeped from 15 to 20 minutes in a solution of from six to eight pounds of water glass to a gallon of water, ata temperature of from 185 to 212 degrees F., and turned about in it a few times, then rinsed in hot, but not boiling water, and finally in cold. It next goes to a weak chlorine bath and will become perfectly white, i Hemp and cotton, instead of being boiled in a strong soda solution for six or eight.,hours as a preliminary, can be quite sufficiently prepared by from 10 to 16 minutes in the above hot water glass. For 100 pounds of linen yarn from 12 to 15 pounds of water glass are taken, costing about 80 per cent lesa than the usual ten pounds of 90 degrees soda. After the water glass bath the yarn is rinsed, first in hot, then in cold water, and next given chlorine and acid as usual. All dressing is of course first’ removed by boiling with milk of lime or by heating with water glass under pressure. How Does Chicago Like This? We hear so much nowadays of the false and exotic America—the America of ‘‘boodling and bulldozing,’’ of tyrannical millionaires and a frenzied proletariat; in a word, of the America of Chicagothat it is a comfort to hear a little of the true and natural America— the America of New England, of Harvard, Yale, Princeton and’ Columbia— the America where the sane and wholesome traditions of the English race exist in as perfect health as on this side of the water, mnd where honest living, high thinking and sound learning flourish and abound, : The wild and whirling words of hys-. terical agitators, spiritual and political, must not persuade people into thinking that Chicago, with its strange and feverish crowd of Bohemians, Italians, -Polish Jews, Hungarians and Germans, in the normal American city, or that it represents the permanent and conquoering element in American life, It ia an. ugly enough boil on the body politic and doubtless far from healthful, but we have no sort of doubt that it will pass away and be absorbed into the healthier tissues of the Union, Meantime let us learn to look on the nobler and far more real, if less sensational, side of American life.—-London Spectator, : Neander, the Jewish Historian, The new life of John Cairns, the celebrated Scotch divine, contaims a pen 4 etch of Neander, the great Jewish ecclesiastical historian, Oairns attended his lectures at the University of Berlin in 1848 and describes him as a little man with a face that was pale, sallow and expressionless, a low forehead, anc nothing stfiking in his features but his black eyebrows.’ He was dressed ina dirty brown coat, blue plush ‘trousers and dirty top boots, As the distinguished man stood and lectured to bis students he punctured, every sentence by spitting, so that the floor had to be cleaned when he had finished, And this was the old man who, ‘‘for knowledge, spirituality, good sense and indomitable spirit of the finest discretion on moral subjects, was a marvel."’ A Misfit Sermon, An English clergyman who was suddenly called on to preach to a congregation, of college students was, unable to speak without notes and had only one on the duties.of the married state, The topic was hardly one that he would have ehosen for the occasion, but he hoped that it would pass muster as being appropriate by anticipation.

It is not as easy to describe the customs of Christmas as it would be to tell of the English or the American ways of celebrating, because the customs of my people differ according to their habitat. Scattered as the Armenians are from Constantinople and other cities to the little villages in Asia Minor, there are. many observances that are almost purely local, Some of these, however, are extremely interesting. To begin, Christmas is not observed on the same day with us as ‘it is here, for there is a difference of 42 days in the calendar, as every body knows. So our Christmas falls on your Jan, 6. Coming, as it does, so near New Year’s day, it is not so much of a social occasion as it probably would be otherwise, but as a religious festival it ranks with Easter, and the two days are the principal feasts of the year. . “The religious services are most impressive. Our churches differ from. yours in some ways, for there are no pews in them, and we adorn them as richly as we are able to do, The principal service on Christmas day is a sort of high mass that is celebrated before daybreak. Everybody who is able to do so goes to this mass, at which the highest church dignitary in the neighborhood always officiates. If there is an archbishop near, he is the ono; if ;not, it is the bishop. And everybody wears his very best clothes. It is a general custom to give thochildrena new suit of clothes if possible on Christmas. If the parents cannot afford.so much, they: will at.least contrive to give some article of dress, if it is only a pair of new slfoes. This has led to another e¢ustom which is in vyogue especially in Constantinople, where tlie Armenian children are all educated in our parochial schools. »These schools are located in the churchyards and are, of course, supported by the churches, Somo of the children: are very poor, and a collection is always taken up at the Christ mas service in the chureh for the purpose of buying new clothes for the children whose parents cannot clothe them properly. There is.one very benevolent geutleman, a merchant in Constantinople, whom Lknow very welk-who always buys a great number of suits at Christmas—from 20 to 60 or 70, according to what he can afford. The making of presents at Christmas is not perhaps as general among our people as it is here, though in the cities we are rapidly adopting European’ customs, Presents are given, but most frequently by superiors to their inferiors or by elders to children. After the church services the people greet one another with a special salutation. One says, ‘‘Christ is born,’’ and the reply is, ‘ Blessed ia the birth of Christ,’’ This is as they return to their homes from church. a Later in the day there is @ general interchange of yisits, much like the fashion ef New Year's calls, which is still kept up in some parts of thiscountry, though with this difference: It is deemed almost obligatory for inferiors to callon superiors, and for the younger members of the community to call on the elder. There is, of course, no law about this, but if an employer, for-example, should not receive a call from each of his employees, he would feel that his dignity had not been properly respected, and the employee would feel that he had been rude, to say the least, I remember that my father used to reprove me severely if I failed to callon any one who had a right to expect a visit from me, When the visitor arrives at the house of the person ho is calling on, he is received according to his station. If he is a dependent or a servant or hired man, he may ‘very likely receive a small present of money; porhaps only ae much as 26 cents, or perhaps $5 or $10, or he may, especially in the country, receive food or clothing. If he is a social equal, he will be entertained with arrack and fruits and sweets. Fruits are much used, too, for trifling gifts. i I should say that the greeting on entering the house on one of these visits id’similar to the morning salutation. The guest says, ‘‘Christ is born and made manifest to us,’’ and the reply is, ‘‘ Blessed are the birth and the manifestation of Christ,’’ Ono oustom is worth mentioning, The ties on Christmas day, carrying bags, and go from house to house singing a sort of .Christinas carol or song about the birth of Christ. Icannot recall the exact words, but it tells the old story and. bas a refrain: “Good tidings! Good tidings!" They go on the roofs:of the houses, for the houses of the villagera-are-almost—underground, and. the roofs are easily reaphed, and as they sing they let the bags down in front of the doors, and the people put in them whatever they feel disposed to give. Somotimes it will be a little money, and sometimes it will be something the boys can easily sell for money to havea good time with, and sometimes it will be some kind of trash put in for fun, but everybody is good natured. Christmas among my people is hardly what it is here, but the spirit ofthe day is the same, and perhaps it is only poverty that makes the difference. Mp Gt4 4 uy f (Arminog Haig.)

How an Old_Tar Came Near Being Cooked For Dinner, “T never think of Christmas turkeys without rememberin-the time I come near to bein the turkey myself,’’ said an aged sailor tothe group of seamen who surrounded him as he sat upon the end of an old spar on South street, New York. The ancient marinet's name was Jack Brown, and as he had followed the sea as man and boy for over 50 years and had cruised in every part of the world the

group listened in respectful silence, well knowing that when old Jack. Brown started to spin a yarn it was sure to be well worth hearing. ‘ “Tt was away back in 1840, and I was little more than a youngster then—only about 18. I had bunked aboard tha Jolly Rover; but, mates, she didn’t prove to be what her name indicated. We left this port for Melbourne, weathered Cape Horn os safe from Davy Jones’ Tooker as a mountain. a mile inland, and all was sooth goin until we were a week’s sail into the south Pacific. Then a storm struck us that sent us scuddin along under bare poles like a Mother Carey's chicken afore a cygione. “T’'ve run afore many a gale, mates, but that hurricane could give points to any of 'eni, One minute the Jolly Rover would plunge out of sight into a big wave, and the next she would seem to be perched like the ark on a Mount Ararat of water. The gale blew nearly all night without a moment's pause, All we could do was to let herrun. Suddenly she struck with a shock that made every timber oreak, I was below, but I rtished on deck, expeotin the ship would. go down. An ‘instant later a big wave came over the rail, washed ine Overboard and swept me on and on, I kept my head above water part of the tine, avery moment.expectin to be dashed agin the rocks. To my joy, I was washed up on a sandy beach. Luckily I-had strength enough left te get up and run inland a few feet before the next wave caught me, “Day was just breakin, and as I looked around I saw Captain Stout, Second Mate Bill Fry and Jim English crawlin out of a big wave and helped 'em up the beach, ** ‘Look!’ yells ‘Fry, shakin the water from his eyes. ‘There she goes!’ © ‘As wo glanced in the direction of the Jolly Rover she staggered like some gigantio animal with a mortal wound and sank beneath the waves. We watched the beach for an hour, but. not another man came ashore. Hvery Jack Tar of ‘em. was drowned. Then we started inland to explore the placo, We didn’t feel at all at ease, mates, because Captain Stout figured as how we must be on one of the smallest of the Solomon .islands, which we know was inhabited by the toughest lot of oan. nibals and head hunters in the Pagsiflo, ‘We realized that we were dead men if we wore captured, and we kept a sharp lookout for thes¢sannibals while we were takin inthe lay of the land. We saw many cocoanut and breadfruit trees,-but the island was apparently uninhabited, I say apparently because about half an hour afters we landed a& dozen ugly, tattooed savages leaped upon us from the bushes. i knooked one of ‘om off his ign weste. big warelub brought me to the grass, and Stout, Fry and Mnglish had no_ better luck, The savages were armed with clubs, bows and arrows and bone pointed spears, and their hair was thick and bushy and was stuck full of sticks for hairpins, **Wo were all bound band and foot, and then the savages carried us toa village near by, where we were thrown into a hut and guarded by two big black’ fellows armed-with clubs, “* ‘Mates,’ says English, ‘did you notice what was hangin up agin the hut next to us?’ We all said, ‘No.’ ‘Well,’ says he, ‘it was the flesh of human bein's, and, as Japtain Stout feared, these fellera with elubs is cannibals.’ : ‘* “Tf they are, our goose is cooked, and —and so are we,’ the captain says with a hollow sort of a laugh, ‘Blast’ my eyes,’ he says, ‘if tomorrow ain’t Christmas day too! Perhaps these blacks are goin to have us help ‘em make their turkey dinner a success.’ Weall shuddered, and Jack Brown for one thought he had seen New York for the last time. Welay in the hut all day and the followin night. The saviges fed ns very well, and while we enjoyd the moss we couldn’t help thinkin that the black villains were givin. it to us to make us more fat and eatable, Noxt mornin we heard a great yollin and poundin of tamtams, and Fry, who could look through a erack in the hut, said that a big party of blacks had. just returned from somewhere in large war canoes and had with 'em a dozen native prisoners, ‘(Tf looks,’ says Fry, ‘as if our captors bave been makin war on another tribe that lives in this village.” The prisoners they have with ‘em evidently got away when the village was attacked, but were chased inland and captured,’ ‘« Wry’d'guess proved correst, and we soon found that our captors did not live on the island, but on another targe one about five miles away. Justafter sunriso Christmas day we,were loaded into big, handsomely carved war canoes along with the dozen nativé prisoners, and the savages paddled across & wide channel to their own island, On the: shore was a jative village, and about 1,000 dancin, yellin drum ‘beatin blacks of both sexes welcomed the return of the war canoes, loaded dawn as they were with Christmas turkeys. “Well, matos, the savages carried us up the beach a short distance and dropped us near an ugly idol 20 feet high, Several hundred fires were built near by, and then most of the savages gathered in a circle around the idol. Pretty soon a dozen of the tallest blacks, all armed with long, sharp spears, danced around the idol'to the music of a hundred tamtams, and then they ranged the dozen native prisoners in a line facin the idol and speared the poor blacks through and through, “Tl won't describe the horrible scene that followed, except to say that we lay there expectin every minute would be our last and saw the cannibals cook and devour ‘their victims. ‘« (They’re savin. us for dessert,’ says the captain. , ‘But ther didn’t save us‘long. In a very few in utes the 12 big savages were leadin us t' ward the idol, and we were sayin goojuy to one another. Death seemed very licear when suddenly we hoard the boom of a dozen cannon, An tustant later shells exploded right and left among the cannibals, killin scores of them. The remainder took one look at the British man-o’-wat, lyin in the channel haif a mile away, and then fled, panic stricken, “We sailors were spon tackin fox the Seach with every sail drawin, you can pet, and when the warship’s boats picked us. up Jack Brown for one was heartily thankin heaven he'd saved his wishbone!” EaRLe H.

Fifth.—It's a good thing to remember tbat the recording angel is likely to make a bigger entry to your credit on his books because of the gift of a half worn overcoat to a shivering fellow man ¢r.q dinner to a half starved and possibly grimy urchin than because of a costly jewel given toa favorite of fortune, Sixth,—Christinas is the day of all the year on which the unlovely’ traits of your character should be smothered, and it would be a great thing for you if you were to manage in some way this year to get rid of those traits altogether. In‘England the day after Christmas ‘fboxing day'' as {tis oalled, is a day of greater festivity among the working classes than Christmas itself, ‘' Boxing day’ is 80 called from the Christmas boxes, each containing money given by the rich to the poor in olden times. . Water Glaas, The eminent chemist, Dr. Grothie, is quoted as declaring that water glass has a great future in store in bleaching, and that in his opinion it will entirely displace soda. Such substances as jute, which formerly could not be bleached without injury to the threads, are therefore capable of being quickly treated in the following manner: The~ yarn is steeped from 15 to 20 minutes in a solution of from six to eight pounds of water glass to a gallon of water, ata temperature of from 185 to 212 degrees F., and turned about in it a few times, then rinsed in hot, but not boiling water, and finally in cold. It next goes to a weak chlorine bath and will become perfectly white, i Hemp and cotton, instead of being boiled in a strong soda solution for six or eight.,hours as a preliminary, can be quite sufficiently prepared by from 10 to 16 minutes in the above hot water glass. For 100 pounds of linen yarn from 12 to 15 pounds of water glass are taken, costing about 80 per cent lesa than the usual ten pounds of 90 degrees soda. After the water glass bath the yarn is rinsed, first in hot, then in cold water, and next given chlorine and acid as usual. All dressing is of course first’ removed by boiling with milk of lime or by heating with water glass under pressure. How Does Chicago Like This? We hear so much nowadays of the false and exotic America—the America of ‘‘boodling and bulldozing,’’ of tyrannical millionaires and a frenzied proletariat; in a word, of the America of Chicagothat it is a comfort to hear a little of the true and natural America— the America of New England, of Harvard, Yale, Princeton and’ Columbia— the America where the sane and wholesome traditions of the English race exist in as perfect health as on this side of the water, mnd where honest living, high thinking and sound learning flourish and abound, : The wild and whirling words of hys-. terical agitators, spiritual and political, must not persuade people into thinking that Chicago, with its strange and feverish crowd of Bohemians, Italians, -Polish Jews, Hungarians and Germans, in the normal American city, or that it represents the permanent and conquoering element in American life, It ia an. ugly enough boil on the body politic and doubtless far from healthful, but we have no sort of doubt that it will pass away and be absorbed into the healthier tissues of the Union, Meantime let us learn to look on the nobler and far more real, if less sensational, side of American life.—-London Spectator, : Neander, the Jewish Historian, The new life of John Cairns, the celebrated Scotch divine, contaims a pen 4 etch of Neander, the great Jewish ecclesiastical historian, Oairns attended his lectures at the University of Berlin in 1848 and describes him as a little man with a face that was pale, sallow and expressionless, a low forehead, anc nothing stfiking in his features but his black eyebrows.’ He was dressed ina dirty brown coat, blue plush ‘trousers and dirty top boots, As the distinguished man stood and lectured to bis students he punctured, every sentence by spitting, so that the floor had to be cleaned when he had finished, And this was the old man who, ‘‘for knowledge, spirituality, good sense and indomitable spirit of the finest discretion on moral subjects, was a marvel."’ A Misfit Sermon, An English clergyman who was suddenly called on to preach to a congregation, of college students was, unable to speak without notes and had only one on the duties.of the married state, The topic was hardly one that he would have ehosen for the occasion, but he hoped that it would pass muster as being appropriate by anticipation.
