March 4 ?President David Starr Jordao, of L iland Stanford Uni? versity of California, lectured ac All Souls ohuroh, speaking to a large audience oo "The Blood of a Natiou." He said that the present century would witness the d ntufall of Great Britain. He declared that ultiooately tbo people of South Africa would have their free? dom. Tbe speaker io emphatic terms as serted that the j present inhabitants of Great Britain wdro a more shadow of tbeir forefathers io point of brains and health. Mr Jordan thinks that a oa ttoo that founds its destiny on war must reach a apeedy decay. He said a great war saps tbe vitality of tbe best biood of a nation. Mr Jordan depreoated tbe faot tbat so many of tbe best youths of a nation are killed during war time. He remarked tbat tbis aooonnted for tbe existence of a weak nation, both mentally and phvsioally Tbe speaker declared tbat France moro than any other great nation had deteriorated He said tbat war more (ban any other thing had contributed to this sorrowful condition Among other things bo said: "I think war more tuao any other agency destroys tbe vitality of a nation. Take, for iosteooe, the presut British B >er war The best representatives of both oountrtes are now on tbe 6eld of battle War not only makea widows, but it prevents many marriages.

A wonderful piece of self nnnlysls, 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 my ?elf down In my cham? ber, and I call In and Invite (Jod and his angels together, and when they are there 1 neglect God and his angels for the noise of u fly, for the rattling of a coach, for the whining of n 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 And 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 daugers, a straw under my knee, a noise iu mine ear, a chimera In my brain, troubles me In my prayer."

When its limited express trains were put on some years ago, the Lake Shore Hallway company decided to charge extra for the privilege of rldlug on them, and John Newell, who was pres? ident of the system at that time, gave orders 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 here ou Its face the words: "Not good on Lake Shore limited trains." A few days after Mr. Caldwell's pass had beeu Issued Mr. Newell received an annual pass on the Nickel Plate with the following indorsement: "Not good on passenger trains." Messrs.

The York (Mo.; Transcript says that a Portland minister recently called up? on one of the families In his parish. Fie ascended the steps and knocked at the door. Receiving no response, he was about to depart when he heard a window in the next house open and a k woman's voice say, "Mrs. Smith, the minister's at your door." What was the pastor's surprise and amusement when he caught Mrs. Smith's response wafted gently around tho corner of the house, "Sh, don't you s'pose I know it!" The next Sunday after service Mrs. Smith met her pastor and expressed her sorrow that she was away when he had called. No Fear When Death Drawn Mfth. "I have seen thousands of persons die under all sorts of circumstances, and never yet have I seen one display the slightest fear of death." This re? markable statement was made the oth? er day by a physician who has prac? ticed many years In Philadelphia and 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 scenes as a novelist who strives after realism will 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 tit to die are the ones who are not as 111 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 Uecord. A Composite K?me. "One of the differences between the east and the northwest," said a Puget sounder, "is the names of places, and the Skikomishes, the Snohomishes, tbe Snoqualmies, the Wahklakums and the lot of them give a man funny feelings, and when he ruus across Bucoda, on the Northern Pacific railroad in Pierce county. Wash., he doesn't know wbeth? er it Is Chinook or Siwash or what Hut it Is none of them?like Kenovn, 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 Pad tic 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 beads to? gether first and their uames later, and the name Bu-co-da was evolved, with an etymology very apparent to any oue who Is at all Informed In termiuology. Bucoda it has remained, and It is not half bad as names go in the Puget sound country."?New York Sun. The Peculiar Jnlnn. ' Ernest M. Bowden In The Nineteenth Century reports a chat with Ha ja Slvaprasad on Jalnlsm. 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 Insects, sometimes wearing a handkerchief over the mouth to pre? vent any living creature being breath? ed in. it may be argued that this tenderness w ill prove In the long run fatal to its |joaaeHsors, handicapping Ihctn seriously in the struggle for life Wttll less scrupulous rivals. As evi? dence t<? the culinary Mr. Bowden points to tho Jains: "Notwithstanding the opposition, if not active persecutions, of hygOUS times. |he one small sect which, more than any other In the world, has taught and practiced the doctrine of 'ahlmsa.' or 'noninjury.' to living crea? tures, stands today, after some four and twenty centuries, by far the most prosperous community In a population verging ou 3(X).00O,0tX>." I HE MILL RUNS ITSELF. ? Fleonoiiiicnl Way of DoiiiK Hnalness on a Con neef leal farm. .Too McCormlck of tbe International Pulp company t??Iis a dellcloue story of | paper making in Connecticut, which shows that operating a mill is not such a ser'ums matter as these big proprie? tors would have us believe. Strolling along the countryside In haymaking time, Mr. McCormlck happened on a little paper mill which buzzed merrily In a shady dell, with everything clean and sweet around it. A look in the Office showed no oue there, and the vis? itor then wandered over the mill, hop? ing to find some one to whom he could talk business. The machine was hum? ming along, and it seemed impossible that there should be no one in attend? ance. But even shouting failed to bring forth signs of life, and Mr. McCormick was about to leave when be spied some men in a haytield some distance away. 'T say." he called out to the nearest one when he got within hearing, "who runs this mill?*' "I do," was the reply. "Well, who's the owner?" "Why, I am, to be sure." MDo you mean to say that the mill runs itself?" "Cert. We start her up at 0 In the morning, and she runs till 0 in tho evening. This mill's been weaned, stranger; she don't need a nurse. While I'm getting in hay she puts half a ton of paper on the roll. Gee up, Bess!'*?Paper Trade Journal. Ilnvo 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 50 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, or.,i o will speedily follow., SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
