What “Modus Vlie'idl” Means. Under the treaty of Utrecht, and oth ers following it, the French claim that the right of catching and drying fish on tho west shore of Newfoundland was given them, and that it includes tho right to catch and cau lobsters, as well as other marine animals. The colonists, on the other hand, maintain that the (treaties cover only the cod fishery, that •being the only one then known. The French right to land at any time and anywhere on the west coast during th» fishing season is established by a Brit ish proclamation of 1763, which con tains no limitation as the kinds of fish to be canght. France is opposed to British occupation of the west coast, because, even though there be room for both na tions, there is no possibility of limiting such occupation. The colonists ate op- nosed to srbitration in the matter, know ing that it must result in recognition of French territorial rights, even though (the fishery lights be denied; and the recognition of the French rights as ex- •elusive would deprive the colonists of the west shore industry. British pur chase of French rights seems, therefore, •the only remedy. At the opening of the fishing season of 1890, a modus vivendi, arranged in March, gave the colonists equal rights with the French for the present season; and provided that tho canning factories built last season should remain, but that no new ones should bo built without consent of the British and French naval commanders. The modus vivendi was maintained only by the pres ence of British and French cruisers. Delegates were sent both to Ottawa and to London, to impress upon the authori ties the hardships due to the modus vi vendi. Two bills aimed at restriction of French fishing operations were passed by the local Legislature; but under instruc tions from Loudon, the Governor with held his sanction, unless clauses should be introduced exempting the French shore from their operation. Protests have been made against the attitude of the home Government aud threats of an nexation to the United States have been uttered. The modus vivendi has been prolonged, and the islanders have been informed that England and France must come to terms of settlement, irrespective of colonial opinion.—Detroit Free Frcas. The Kangaroo Ifreumim,' Extinct. . Birge Harrison (the American artist, now in Australia) describes a kangaroo hunt in Scribner. This curious animal has been practically exterminated in the older parts of Australia. The author says: “In some parts of Victoria they for merly outnumbered the sheep as two to one, and old shepherds have told me that it was not an uncommon thing to seethe sheep aud kangaroos feeding together upon the plains; as maay as two or three thousand kangaroos frequently accom panying a flock of a thousand sheep. Thus it will be see that a ‘station’ which, in 1850, couid barely graze five thou sand sheep, cau now be made to carry forty thousand without auy danger of overstocking.’’ WISE WORDS. REV. DR.

Before yon can do much good, you mutt be good. Many a mau signs his death warrant with his teeth. In nothing else can there be such a jehauge as in man. Doing a wrong thing with a good mo- .tive does not make it right. Find a man who grows little, and you Hvill find one who works little. There is somethiog lovable in all peo ple, if we could but stand whets we could see it. The man who can learn from the ex perience of other people is an apt scholar. We are never in earnest about anything that we cannot occasionally get enthusi astic over. It is well enough for charity to begin at home, but it shouldn’t stop there. It ought to be a great traveler. How easy it is to fsel geftetdiis when you get a chance to tell other people what they out to do with their money. A good deal of the trouble in this life comes because men take too much time to make money, and too little to enjoy it. Living only to gst riches generally turns out like the boy who got the hornet’s nest. Just as he thought he had it he found out that it had him. It is satd that there are only two hun dred and sixty three bones in the human body, but when a man has been hoeing , potatoes all day long, it is hard for him to believe it.

Ilain'i Horn. Will the American Elephant Work t In modern times, we have only to look to India to be convinced of the great usefulness of tho elephant. To the ag riculturist, who uses him before his wagon or his plow, he is indispensable, and for the transportation of heavy arti cles, he has no rival. We see him carry ing immense tree-trunks out of the In dian forest, and by his indefatigable in dustry, in picking up aud carrying off large stones, aiding the construction of roads and railways. For labor of this kind a coolie receives from four to eight annas, while five and six rupees are paid for the daily work of an elephant. From this fact, we conclude that one elephant performs the work of from twelve to twenty-two coolies. From the record of the British expedi tion against King Theodore of Abyssinia In 1868, we learn tint forty-four ele phants were shipped from Bombay for Use in the campaign. Of this number five succumbed during the campaign. The remaining thirty-nine rendered val- table services, being entrusted with tho transportation, through a mountainous iountry, of cannon,ammunition and sup plies. It was frequently very difficult to procure proper food for them and as it was often necessary to traverse great dis tances to reach tho watering places, the death of the five animals is ascribed to these hardships. Although elephants move slowly through a mountainous country and soon become foot-sore, they perform their task with admirable faith fulness. Without them it would have been necessary to await the building of wagon roads.— Ooldthicaitc's Geographic cal Magazine. There are still tribes of Indians in Mexico which believe in witchcraft, and the other week a woman was killed be cause it was contended that she drove the sun over into the United States and filled up the space with rain.

The modern plague r. liich u.artist corrdr spends with that is the plagrie tit crinie id all oUr citie*. it halts not for bloodshed. It Smittks from no carnage. It bruises and cuts and strikes down and destroys. It rex vels in the blood of body and soul , plague of crime rampant (of ages, and never colder or movotflmpant than now. The annual police reports of these cities as l examine them are to me more suggestive than Dante’s Inferno, and all Christian people as well as reformers need to awaken to a pres ent and tremendous duty. If you want this “Plague of Crime” to stop there are several kinds of persons you to consider, f'irst*-, the public criminal*. You ought not to W surprised that these people make up A larg4 portion in many fcommunities. Tilq vasf; majority of the criminals who take ship from Europe v*ome into our own port. In 186'), of the forty-nine thousand people who were in carcerated in the prisons of the country thirty-two thousand were of foreign birth. Many of them were the very desperadoes of society, oozing into the slums of our city, waiting for an opportunity to riot and steal and debauch, joining the large gang of American thugs and cut-throats. There are in this cluster of cities—New York, Jersey City and Brooklyn—foui* thousand people whoso entire business in life is to commit suicide. That is as much their business as jurisprudence or mediciriA or merchandise is your business: To it they bring *,11 thbiV energies of body, mind and SoUl, hftd they look upon the intervals which they spend in prison as so much unfortunate loss of time, just as you look upon an attack of influenza and rheumatism which fastens you in the house fora few days. It is their lifetime business to pick pockets and blow up safes and shoplift and ply the panel game; and they have as much pride* bt skill in their business «« yon have in yours when you up set m Argument of an opposing counsel, or i'uke a gunshot fracture which other sur geons have given up, or foresee a turn in the market as you buy goods just before they go up twenty per cent. It is their business to commit crime, and I do not suppose that once in a year the thought of the immorality itrikes'them. \dded to these professional criminals, American and foreign, there are a large class of men who are more or less industrious in crinie. In one year the police in this cluster of cities arrested ten thousand people for theft, and ten thousand for assault and battery, and fifty thousand for intoxication. Drunkenness is responsible for much of the theft, since it confuses a man’s ideas of property, and ho gets bfc hands on things that do not belong td him. Rum is responsi ble for mUch of the assault and battery, in- •ptrint nien to sudden bravery, which they nhst demonstrate though it be on the fac® of the next gentleman. Ten million dollars’ worth of property (toleninthis cluster of cities in one year! if on cannot, as good citizens, be independent if that fact. It will touch your pocket,since ( have to give you the fact that these three jities pay about eight million dollars’ worth )f taxes a year to arraign, try and support the criminal population. You help to pay .he board of every criminal, from the sneak ihief that snatches a spool of cottoti Up to some man who swamps a bank. More than f hat, it touches your heart in the moral de- pressiott of the community. You might as ‘veil think to stand in a closely confined ^oom where there are fifty people and yet not breathe the vitiated air, as to stand in i community where there is such a great nultitude of the depraved without some whatbeing contaminated. What is the fire ;hat burns your store down compared with she conflagration which consumes your Morals? What is the theft, of the gold and diver from your money safe compared with the theft of your children’s virtue? We are all ready to arraign criminal* We shout at the top of our voice* “Stop thief!” and when the police get on the track we come out, hatless and in our slippers, aud assist in the arrest. We come around the bawling ruffian and hustle him off to justice, ind when he gets in prison what do we do for lim? With great gusto w e put on the hand- :uffs and the hopples; but wbat preparation re wo making for the day Mien the band- juffs and the hbpples come off? {Society seems to s$y to these criminals, “Villain, g6 in there and rot.” when it ought to say, “You are an offender against tho law, but we mean to give you an opportunity to re pent; we mean to help you. Here are Bibles and tracts and Christian influences. Christ died for you. Look and live ” Vast improvements heve been made by Introducing industries into tho prison; but we Want something more than hammers and shoo l&sts to reclaim these people. Aye, We Want more than sermons on the Sabbath day. Society must impress these men with the fact that it does not enjoy their suf fering, and that it is attempting to reform and elevate them. The majority ot crimin als suppose that society has a grudge against them. and they in turn have a grudge against society. . , . They are harder in heart and more infurU ate when they come out of jail than when they went in. Many of the people who go to prison go again and again and again. Borne years ago, of fifteen hundred prisoners who during the year had been in Sing Sing* four hundred had been there before. In n house of correction in tho country, where during a certain reach of time there had been five thousand people, more than three thousand had been there before, So, in one case the prison, and in the other tho house of correction, left them just as bad as they were before. The secretary of one of the benevolent societies of New York says a lad fifteen years of age had spent three years of his life in prison, and he said to the lad, “What have they done for you to make you better? “Well,” replied the lad, “the first time I was brought up before the judge he said, ‘You ought to be ashamed of yourself.’ And then l committed a crime again, and I was brought up before the same judge, and he laid, ‘You rascal!* And after a while I committed some other crime, and I was brought before the same judge, and he said, ‘You ought to be hanged.'* Thar was all they bad done for him in the way of reim-ma* tion and salvation. “Oh,” you say, “ii.owa T R fhachiiiation cannot teach them, in tbe i» (ufferable (teach and sickening surroundings of such places there is nothing but disease for the body, idiocy for tbe mind, and death for the eotu.

Why was it that in New York there was such unparalleled crime between 18fki and 1871 f It was because the judges of police in that c*ty at that time for f he most pan Were as corrupt as the vagabonds that came beloro them for trial, Those were tho dayapf higq carnival for election) frauds, assassination and forgery We hau all kinds of rings.

"Oh,” you say. “1 have no patience with these rogues.” I ask you in reply, how much better would you have been under the same circumstances? Suppose your mother had been a blasphemer and your father a sot, and you had started life with a body stuffed with evil proclivities, and you had spent much of your time in a collar amid obscenities and cursing, and if at ten years of age you had been compelled to go out and steal, battered and banged at night if you came in without any spoils, and suppose your early manhood and womanhood had been covered with rags and filth, and decent society had turned its back upon you, and lett you to consort with vagabonds and wharf rats—how much bettor would you have been? I have no sympathy with that executive clemency which would let crime rim loose, or which would sit in the gallery of a court room weeping because some hard hearted wretch is brought to justice; but I do say that the safety and life of the com munity demand more potential influences in behalf of public offenders. In some of the city prisons the air is like that of the Black Hole of Calcutta. I have visited prisons where, as the air swept through the wicket, it almost knocked me down. No sunlight. Young men who had committed their first crime crowded in among old offenders, f saw in one prison a woman, with a child almost blind, who had been arrested for the crime of poverty, who was waiting until the slow law could take her to tho almshouse, wh iv. she rightfully belonged; hut tho w..-thrust in thorn with her child amid tho most abandoned wretches of the town. Many of the offenders in that prison selpbon the floor, with nothing buta vermin-covered blanket over them. Those pe«>ple crowded and wan and wasted and half suffocate l and infuriated. I said to the men, “How do you aland it here?” “God knows,” said 'one man, “we ha ve to stand it.” Oh‘, they will pay you when they get out. Where they burned down one house they will burn three. They will strike deeper the assassin’s knife. They are this minute plot ting worse burglaries. Some of tho city jads are fclm best places I know of to manufactui » footpads, vaga bonds and cutthroats. Yale College is not so well calculated t > make sciiolars, nor Har vard so well calculated to make scientists, nor Princeton so well calculated to make theologians, as many of our jails are oa’cu- lat“d to make criminal*. All that those men do not know of crime after they have been In that dungeon for some time, ttatanio leniency to criminals is too great severity to society Again in your effort to arrest this plagUi of crime, you need to consider the idle popu lation. Of course I do not refer to people who are getting old, or to the sic:; or to those who cannot get work, but 1 tell you to look out for those athletic men and women who will not work. When the French nobleman was asked why he kept busy whet* he had do large aproperty, he said. “I keep on eiigrav- Ihg so I may not ban'’ myself.” I do not care who the mau is, you cannot afford to lie idle. It is from the idle classes that the criminal classes are made up. Character, like water, gets putrid if it stands stiil too long. Who can wonder that in this world, where there is so much to do, and all the hosts of earth and heaven and hell are plunging into the conflict aud angels arc fly ing and God is at work and the universe is a-quake with the marching and counter marching, that God lets His iudignation fall upon a man who chooses idleness. I have watched these do-nothings who spend their time stroking their beard aflq retonchirtg their toilet, and criticising iff 'diistrious people, and pass their days and nights in barrooms and club houses, loung ing and smoking and chewing and card playing. They are not only useless, but they are dangerous. How hard it is for them to while away the hours! Alas, for them! If they no not know how to while away an hour, wuat will they do when they have all eternity on their hands? These men for a while smoke the best cigars and wear the best clothes and move in the highest spheres, but I have noticed that very soon they come down to the prison, the almshouse, or stop at the gallons. The police stations of this cluster of cities furnish annually between two and three hun dred thousand lodgings. For the most part these two and three hundred thousand lodg ings are furnished to able bodied irten aud *omfen—people as able to work as you and I are. Wheh they hre received no longer at One police slat ion because they are “repeat^ eirs” they go to some other station and so they keep moving around. They get their food at house doors, stealing what they c an lav their hands on in the front 1 asement while the servant is spreading the bread in the back basement. They will not work. Time and again, in the country districts, they have wanted hundreds and thousands of laborers. These men will not go. They do not want to work. I have tried them. I haVe set them to sawing wood in my cellar to see whether they wanted to work. I of fered to pay them well for it. I have heard the saw going for about three minutes, and then I went down, and lo! the wood, but no saw! They are the pest of society, and they stand m the way of the Lord’s poor who who ought to be helped, and must be helped, and will bo helped. While there are thousands of industrious men who cannot get any work, these men who do not want any work come in and make that plea. I am in favor of the res toration of the old fashioned whipping post for just this one class of men who will not work—sleeping at night at. public ex pense in the station house; during tho day getting their food at your doorstep. Im prisonment docs not scare them. They would like it. Blackwell’s Island or Sing Sing would be a comfortable home for them. They would have no objection to tho alms house, for they like thin soup, if they can not get mock turtle. I propcso this for them: On one side of them put some healthy work; on the other side put a rawhide, and let them take their choice. I like for that class of people the scant bill of faro that Paul wrote out for the TUessalonlan loafers, “If any work not, neither should he eat.” By what law of God or man is it right that y :i and I should toil day in and day out. until our hands are blistered and our arms ache and our brain gets numb, and then he culled upon to sup port what in the United States are about two million loafers. They area very danger ous class. Let the public authorities keep their eyes on them. Again, among the uprooting classes I place the oppressed poor. Poverty to a certain extent is chastening, but after that, when it drives a man to th. wall, and he hears his children cry in vain for bread, it sometimes makes him desperate. I think that there are housands of honest men lacerated into vaga- ondism. There are men crushed under burdens for which they are not half paid. While there is no excuse for criminality, even in oppression, I state it as a simple fact that mucl? of the scoundrellsm of the com munity is consequent upon ill-treatment. ' here are many men and women battered mi bruised and stung until the hour of de spair has come, and they stand with the ferocity of a wild beast which, pursued until it can run no longer, turns round, foaming and bleeding, to tight the hounds. There is a vast underground New’ York knd Brooklyn life that is appalling and hameful. It wallows mid steams with put re action. You go down the stairs, which are /et and decayed with filth, and at the bot tom you find the poor victims on the floor, cold, sick, three-fourths dead, slinking into a still darker corner under the gleam of the lantern of the police. There has not been a breath of fresh air in that room for five years, literally. The broken sewer empties its contents upon them, and they lie at night in tho swimming filth. There they are, men. women, children; black, whites; Mary Mag dalen without her repentance, and Lazarus without his God. Those are “the dives” into which the pickpockets and the thieves go, as well as a great many who would like a differ ent. life but cannot get it. These places are the Boren of the city, which bleed perpetual corruption. They are the underlying volcano that threatens us with a Caraccas earthquake. It rolls and roars and surges and heaves and rocks and blasphemes and dies, and there are only two outlets for it—the police court and the Pot ter’s field. In other words, they must either /»to prison or to hell. On, you never saw .t, you say. You never will see it until on the day when those staggering wretches shall come up in the light of the judgment throne, and while all hearts are being re vealed, God will ask you what you did to help them. There is another layer of poverty and des titution not so squalid, but almost as help less You hear the incessant wailing for bf^id and clothes and fire. Their eyes are sunken. Their cheek bones stand out. Their hands are damp with slow consumption. Their flesh is puffed up with dropsies. Their •reath is like that of the charnel house. They hear tho roar of the wheels of fashion overhead and the gay laughter of men and maidens and wonder why God gave to others to much and to them so little. Home of them *nrust into an infidelity like that of the poor German girl who, when told in the midst of her wretchedness that God was good, said : “No; nc good God. Just look at me. No good ' *o 1.” In thi j riuster of cities whose cij of want Was ready to die •l** ' shotfld, hbt wonder if they, bftd ft feftod deal bettoi timeihatiwe W. tbff future; te make up for the fact that they had <Hdlt R bad time here.

Oh, thot Hying One nf the cross* Have mercy,on the starving, freezing, homeless poof pi tfi^ec great cities! I have prcached this sermon for four or five practical reasons: Because I want you to know who are the uprooting classes of society. Because 1 want youto be more discriminating; in your charities. Because I want your hearts open with generosity, and your bands open with charity. Be cause t waflt you to be made the sworn friends of all « dv evangelisation, atid all newsboys' lodging houses, and all children s aid societies, and Dorcas societies, under the skillful rfianipuljit on of wives and mothers and sisters and daughters; let the Spare gar- inenth of yoUr wardrobes be fitted to the limbs of thy wan end shivering. I should not Won tier if that hat tliat yoii give should come back a jcwele I coronet, or i* that grtr-. meat that you Imnd out from your wardrobe should mysteriously be whitened, and some how wrought into the Saviour’S own robe, so in the last day Ho would rim His hand over it and say, “I was naked and ye clothed Me. ’ That would be putting your garments to i lorious uses. But more than that, I have preached the sermon because I thought in the contrast you would see how very kindly God had dealt with you, and I thought that thou sands of you would go to your comfortable homes and. sit at your well-filled tables and at the warm registers, and look at the round faces of your children, ftnd that then ycRl would burst into tears at the review of God s; goodness to you, and that you would go to your room and lock the door and kneel down and say: “O Lord. I have been an ingrate; make me Thy child. O Lord, there are so many hungry and unclad and unsheltered to-day, I thank Thee that all my life Thou bast taken such good care of me. O, Lord, there are so many sick and crippled children to-day, I thank Thee mine are well—some of them on earth, flomeoi: them in heaven. Thy good ness, O Lord, breaks me down. Take me once aud forever. Sprinkled as I was many years ago at the altar, while my mother held me, now I consecrate my soul to Thee in a holier baptism of repenting tears. ‘•por sinners, Lord, Then cam’st to bleed, And 1‘m a slnndr vile indeed; Lord. I believe Thy grace In free* 6 inability that qra^to me.” SELECT SIFTINGS. Too large —the old-fashioned pill.

The earliest date on which Easter can Fall is March 22. Queen Anne’s wnr ended with the Peace of Utrecht in 1713. A New York dealer advertises that he will pay cash for old teeth. The first sewing machine was patentel in England in the year 1700. The population of Texas, according to the eleventh census, is 2,235,532. Somebody has computed that if thirty two million people should clasp hands they could reach round the earth. Glucose is produced in th- United States at the rate of 1,000,000 pounds per day, principally in Western States. The Emir of Bokhara has sent to the Czar of Hussia a present of eight milk- white asses of the purest Central Asian breed. Street cleaning experiments in New York City show marked advantages of the “block” system over tho machine system Just above Vienna, on the Danube, is the convent and school of Mclk, which has just celebrated its one thousandth anniversary. High heels, it is said, owe their origin to Persia, where they were introduced to raise the feet from tbe burning sands of that country. Previous to the time of Elizabeth the only article to assist in eating was tbe jackknife, which also served for sundry other purposes. The largest gold com in circulation in the world is said to be the loot of Anam, the French colony iu Eastern Asia. It is worth about $325.

He prepared five gallons of poisoned barley and scattered it near tho squirrel boles ou lorty-six acres of land, and succeeded iu killing 4821 “by actual count.” The verses commencing “You’d scarce expect.one of my age,” etc., are said to have been written expressly for a promi nent New Hampshire stateman who flourished in the first half of this ceu- turv. He spoke the verses when a mere child at school. One American manufacturer ships 1000 lumber wagons to South America every year, and yet the natives come iuto cities like Buenos Ayres with carts of the same style and make as were used 1000 years ago. It takes one yoke of oxen to draw even an empty cart, but the people don’t caie to experiment. The inhabitants of the interior of the Fiji Islands will not partake of food while a cloud is iu sight, especially if the cloud lies iu the west, fearing that the “Great Air Whale,” whoso bellowing (thunder) is often Heard in that country, will pouuce upon them and utterly anni hilate them for such irreverence.
