Msrch 4 -Prc^ii'-nt David Scarr Jordao, ot' Leland Stanford Uni? versity of California, lectured a: All j S?c!? church, speaking to a large audience on "The Blood of a Nation.'" R? said that the prescot. cer.tury would witness the dowofall of Great B-i:air>. \ He declared that u'ticoareiy tte people j of South Africa would have their free- | dom. The speaker io emphatic terras as- ? sorted that the preseot inhabitants of ? Great Britaia were & mere shadow of their forefathers io point of braies and health. Mr Jordan thicks that a Da? doo that founds its destiny co war must reach a speedy decay. Ke said a great war saps the vitality of the best biocd of a cation. Mr Jordan deprecated the fact thai so marjy cf the beet youths of a nation are billed curing war time. He remarked that this accounted for the existence of a weak ostio?;, both ? mentally and physically The speaker ; declared that France moro than anv ! j? other great cation had deteriorated He said that war more than aoy other thing had contribuid to this sorrowful condition. Among other things bc said : .*I think war more than any other agency deetroys the vitality of a narloo, j Take, for iosfaoce, the presot British Boer war. The best representatives of bnth countries are now on the field cf bartle War not only makes widows, but it prevents many marriages. I certaia ly am of the opinion that- war is a curse on any nation uoles6 it is the result of a 6gbt for freedom Such a thing as carrying on war for the sake of encouraging imperialistic ideas will sooner or later wreck a nation that tries suco a scheme '* Oar Cnrionfi Drain. j A wonderful piece of self analysis, worthy of St, Augustine, which occurs in one of John Donne's funeral ser? mons, gives poignant expression to what must doubtless have been a com? mon condition of so sensitive a brain. "I throw myself down in my cham? ber, and I call in and invite God and his angels together, and when they are there I neglect God and his angels for the noise of a fly, for the rattling of a coach, for the whining of a dog; I talk on in the same posture of prayer, eyes lifted up, knees bowed down, as though I prayed to God, and if God should ask me when I last thought of God in that prayer I cannot tell. Sometimes I find that I forgot what I was about, but when I began to forget it I cannot tell. A memory of yesterday's pleasures, a fear of tomorrow's dangers, a straw under my knee, a noise in mine ear, a chimera in my brain, troubles me in my prayer." It is this brain, turned inward upon itself and darting out on every side in purely random excursions that was re? sponsible, I cannot doubt, for all the contradictions of a career in which the inner logic is not at first apparent. Fortnightly. Tvro Railroad Passen. When its limited express trains were put on some years ago, the Lake Shore Railway company decided to charge extra for the privilege of riding on them, and John Newell, who was pres? ident of the system at that time, gave order- that passes, half rate tickets, etc., should not be honored on the "fli? ers." It was not intended, of course, that the complimentaries issued to high officials of other roads should be void on the fast trains, but through an over? sight a yearly pass was sent to D. W. Caldwell, president of the Nickel Plate, which bore on its face the words: "Not good on Lake Shore limited trains." A few days after Mr. Caldwell's pass had been issued Mr. Newell received an annual pass on the Nickel Plate with the following indorsement: ''Not goori on passenger trains." Messrs. Newell and Caldwell remain? ed consistent enemies until the former died and was succeeded by the latter as pr?sident of the Lake Shore.-Chi? cago Times-Herald. I Great City For Prayer. j A visitor to Moscow soon discovers why ir is called the Holy City. Ev- j erv 200 or SOO feet there is a cathedral, j church, chapel or shrine, and which ever way you look you see people j crossing themselves. Until one has I seen Moscow the piety of the place is ! uot easily understood. The outsider j cannot imagine Moscow conditions.

"(Josh, Marier, but that wuz a close sba vc!" exclaimed Uncle Eben as he dragged his worthy spouse out of the way of a street cur that was yet 2o feet away. "This vcr Chicago life is 'nougb io make a man's h*ar turn gray." "Turn gray:" suarled his wife. "'Twouldn't ho so bad cf thet wuz all it done. It's decent and respectable to have gray ha'r. but when it comes to makin a pom* young gal's ha'r turn yaller jist on account of the excitement uv ail these cars an railroads on stilts an howlin people thea's when 1 say it's a sin to hev sich big cities. I'm a-goin right out io 'Liza .lane's house, cf I kin ever lind it. an stay right in it till we leave Chicago." "How do you know it makes people's ha'r turn yaller?" asked Uncle Eben. "I ain't never neara tell of ennything of that kind." "Well. I see it with my own eyes leastwise I see it turn brown agin after | the poor dears wuz rested all summer j in tho country. You know them four j gals what staid all summer over at | Cousin Ellen's? When they fust come, ! they'd big brown eyes an fa'r complex- ? ions an right yaller ha'r. Purty soon every one of 'em's ha'r begin to get streaked in spot*, an before the sum? mer wuz gone they all had rich brown ha'r. Then I ast one of 'em what made their ha'r turn brown, an she said it wuz alla's brown, but that the excitin life she'd been livia in Chicago, whar she had to act iu a theater every night, made it turn yaller. Poor thing! She looked so much better at the end of the summer that I hate to think of her comm back to this great, wicked city." -Chicago Journal. _ And thc Minister Smiled. The York (Me.) Transcript says that a Portland minister recently called up? on one of the families in his parish. He ascended the steps and knocked at the door. Receiving no response, he i was about to depart when he heard a window in the next house open and a k woman's voice say. "Mrs. Smith, the 1 minister's at your door." What was the pastor's surprise and j amusement when he caught Mrs. j Smith's response wafted gently around ! the corner of the house. "Sh. don't you s'pose I know it!" I The next Sunday after service Mrs. Smith met her pastor and expressed her sorrow that she was away when he had called. j >'o Fear When Death Draws Nish. "I have seen thousands of persons die under all sons of circumstances, and never yet have 1 seen one display j the slightest fear of death." This re ? markable statement was made the oth ; er day by a physician who has prac I ticed many years in Philadelphia and j who has seen a great deal of hospital ? service. "It is a popular fallacy." he went on. "to imagine that a deathbed scene is ever terrible other than as a parting between loved ones. The fear of the unknown is never present at the last. Even amid ignorance and vice I have never experienced such sccues as a j novelist who strives after realism will I sometimes picture. "When a patient is told that he can? not recover and the end is near, he in? variably seems resigned to his fate, and his only thought seems to be of those who are to be left behind. This is true alike of men and women. "Those who become hysterical and declare they are not fit to die are the ones who are not as ill as they think they are. They always get well. "A psychological reason? Oh. I don't know that there is any. It's just a hu man trait."-Philadelphia Record. A Composite Xame. "One of the differences between thc east and the northwest," said a Puget sounder, "is the names of places, and the Skikomishes. the Snohomishes. the Snoqualmies. the Wahkiakums and the lot of them give a man funny feelings, and when he runs across Bucoda, on the Northern Pacific railroad in Pierce county. Wash., he doesn't know wheth? er it is Chinook or Siwash or what. But it is none of them-like Kenova, in West Virginia, which is near the junc? tion of Kentucky. Ohio and Virginia, or Delmar, where Delaware and Mary? land come together. "Bucoda is a composite name, and its story is simple enough. When the Northern Pacific came in, a town sprang up. and it must have a name. There were Indian names in plenty, but something more novel was wanted, so Messrs. Buckley, Coulter and Davis, all N. P. officials, put their heads to? gether first and their names later, and the name Bu-co-da was evolved, with an etymology very apparent to any one who is at all informed in terminology. Bucoda it has remained, and it is not half bad as names go in the Puget sound country."-New York Sun. The Peculiar Juins. Ernest M. Bowden in The Nineteenth Century reports a chat with Raja Sivaprasad on Jainism. The Jains pay more regard to the feelings of the lower animals than any other sect in the world; will not kill them or injure them: are careful to avoid destroying even inserts, sometimes wearing a handkerchief over the mouth to pre? vent any living creature being breath? ed in. Il may be argued that this tenderness will prove in the long run fatal to its pi>ssos?*irs. handicapping them seriously in tiic struggle for lifo with less scrupulous rivals. As evi? dence ti? the contrary Mr. Bowden points t<> tin- .laius: "Notwithstanding the opposition, if not active persecutions, of bygone limos, the one small sect which, more than any other in the world, has taught and practiced the doctrine of 'ahimsa.' or 'noninjury.' to living crea? tures, stands today, after some four and twenty centuries, by far the most | prosperous community In a population verging on 300,0<X>.000." I HE MILL RUNS ITSELF. EcoTjoR'.ior.l VT?y o?" Tining RnxinoiH ot* ii Coiinoefieut I'm-m. Joe McCormick of tbe International Pulp company tells a delicious story of paper making in Connecticut, which shows that operating a mill is not such a serious matter as these big proprie? tors would have ns believe. Strolling along the countryside in haymaking time. Mr. McCormick happened ou a little paper mill which buzzed merrily in a shady dell, with everything clean and swen around it. A look in the office showed no one there, and the vis? itor then wandered over the mill, hop? ing to Sud seme one to whom be could talk business. The machine was hum? ming along, and it scorned impossible that there should be no one in attend? ance. But (-ven shouting failed to bring forth signs of life, and Mr. McCormick was about to leave when he spied some men in a hayfield some distance away. "I say."' he called out to the nearest one when he got within hearing, "who runs ibis mill?" "I do." was the reply. "Well, who's the owner?" "Why, I am, to be sure." "Do you mean to say that thc mill runs itself?" "Cert. We start her up at G in the morning, and she runs till G in the evening. This mill's been weaned, stranger: she don't need a nurse. While Fm getting in hay she puts half a ton of paper on the roll. Gee up. Bess"*-Paper Trade Journal Un ve Yon the Gout? The following cure for the gout is taken from an old work: First, the person must pick a handkerchief from the pocket of a maid of SO years who has never had a wish to change her condition: second, he must wash it in an honest miller's pond: third, he must dry it on a parson's hedge who was never covetous: fourth, he must send it to a doctor who never killed a pa? tient: fifth, he must mark it with a lawyer's ink who never cheated a client: sixth, apply to the part affected, o,-..! <..y.-e will speedily follow., SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
