Most women think a man Is not ytiiy "good” to hli wife unless he bays her better clothes than he can afford. The automobile Industry has proved a very profltabU Investment for French capital. In 18% the machines exported were valued at 600,000 francs. Today they have reached the so.ormous. figure of 9,400.000 francs. And the dustry is only in its Infancy. .

Voting by machines has been found to be practicable and convenient and much more rapid than by paper ballots. It eliminates fraud and bribery and does away with the tedious counting process which is the source of many errors and much waste of time. The machines not only record the voles but count them, and as soon ss.the last vote has been cast the total-for each candidate Is ready to be announced, states the Philadelphia Press.

Great surprise Is expressed at. the falling off In the number of students at the Princeton Theological seminary. The surprise Is based chiefly on this fact, that the young men who would ordinarily have entered the theological seminary have Joined the anry instead. The assumption that a clergyman is a mild, non-combatlve individual is totally erroneous. There is no harder fighting than that which is done by the clergy, observes the New York JournaL In order to fulfil their mission conscientiously they are obliged .to fight themselves as well to fight evil In others. A clergyman's life is mapped out for him not ah a life of ease, but as a life of ^struggle and of combat.

The showing made by the recent census of Italy, the flfwt taken in SO years, must be very Encouraging to that country and rather discouraging to those who connt It among the decaying nations. It also emphasizes the fact once more that France Is the only country In Europe which has a stationary population. The maximum estimate Of the present population of Italy was 31,000,000. The census shows that it Is 35,000,000 In Italy and that there are 5,000,000 in North and South America. In 1870 the population of the country was In round numbers 26,800,000 and the Increase in ratio In the last 20 years Is Isrger than that of any other European coontry. The density of population fa 125 to the sauare mile. The birth rate of Italy has always been very high and still remains so, but the great Increase in *Us population is due primarily to the Improvements In the sanltarY conditions. In theVace of what .has been accomplished since the unification It seems scarcely credible that there are Intelligent Italians who could go hack to the old order of things.

Compressed hay. straw and cornstalks are promised'to (be people of the Dakotas as fuel. On the prairies of those states wood is comparatively unknown, and coal is a luxury. Hay and such like fuels have been forced Inte nse, being consume^ with fairly good results In specially designed stoves. Experiments recently made, however, will revolntloplze all this. It has been demonstrated, according to reports, that a plant for the manufacture of straw fuel can be erected for about $15,000, which will have a capacity for making 50 tpns per day. The fuel will be In the shape of. round .sticks." nine to 12 Inches in diameter, and two. four and six feet In length.

hushed in our dwelling must be re tuned. Oh. how long some of you seem to be waiting for the resurrection! And for these broken hearts to-day I ro&ka a soft, cool bandage out of Easter flower*. This morning I find in the risen Christ * prophecy of ocr own resurrection, my text setting forth the idea that as Christ has risen so 'His people will rise.

If I should come to you and ask you for the names 'of the great conquerors of ths world, you would say Alexander, Casrar, Philip, Napoleon I. Ah! You haw forgotten to mention the name of a greater conqueror than all these—a cruel, a ghastly conoueror. He rode on a black hors* across Waterloo and Chalons and Atlanta, the bloody baofs crushing the hearts of nations. It is the conqueror Death. He carries a black flag, and be takes no prisoner*. He digs a trench across the hemispheres and fills it with ths carcasses of nations. Fifty tiihes wiuld tbs world have been depopulated had not God kept making new. generations.

The hour is coming rben all who are in their graves shall rise, 'asus, “the first fruits of them that slept.” Now. around this doctrine of ths reaurection there are a great many mysteries. Yon come to me and say, 5 ‘If thebodies of the dead are to be raised, how is this and how is that?" And you aak as a thousand questions I am incompe-

tent to answer. But. there are a g many things you believe tliat you are not ahle to explain. Y'ou would be a Wry foolish man to aar, "I-won't believe anything I can’t understand." Why, putting down on* kind of flower seed, comes there np this flower of this color? Why, putting down another flower seed, comes there up a flower of this color? One flower white, another flower yellow, another flower crimson.

There were not only two angels, but many of them. Sometimes one appears and sometimes another; at different pieces and speaking different things. “In white." This was an emblem of purity. Sec Her.
