Upon the execution of John the Baptist Jesus sought retirement in visiting places at a distance from the center of the growinp hostility toward himself, and, among others, some on tho coasts of Tyre and idon. While thero he healed the daughter of the SyroPhoenician woman (Mark vii, 24-57.) Leaving there, he seems to have passed through gidon, and, crossing the lower ridge of the JLebanon range to tho plain of Kedesh Kaphtali to the eastern shore of the sea of Oalilee: thence by abip to Magdala and Ualinaduth:i, ou the western shore; thenco again to the eastern Hothsaida; thence uorthwanl to Cesarea Thilippi.

There are degrees of faith that lie potentially in the heart. They have the power of activity, but need to be drawn forth. Tho keen, searching question, that must be answered without evasion, may prove just "What is needed. Spiritual torpor and hhndiiess often reqnire a shock from without to De changed into the ardent confession. The great mass of humanity hasacccpted Christ with revereuce. aud has assigned to him a position as lofty as their intelligence permits. There are thousands everywhere about us who accept Christ as thej would a pre-eminent teacher. The true disciple, he who has a personal experience and knowledge of him. goes far bevond a limited acceptance and says: 'Thou art tho Christ, the Hon of God." The day is past when none. hall bo told, lie that gives the message to most men has In him the largest spirit of Christ. Tho tendency of the church toward temporal power has always leen misdirected, tvcial power, the power of influence, these arc fcinf ill abuses of tho church. Her truo power is to raise by self-denial and sutlering the spiritual taimard of her constituents. True followers of Christ are too few. 2slfdenial is a bore that few dare face. The cross is a hardship few would lift. To folJow him is to travel on too rounu a roaL 'ew have lit constitutions. We are enthusiastic about lK'ing Christians in the modcm fashion; it is a tlitlerent thing to he tho epintnal martyr. What is th world!

None need dio ignorant of the kingdom of God; it is at hand with ever-increasiug powers. Personal and 'ew Notes. "Peace! peace!'' were the dying words of Bishop Mcfyeire, president of Vanderbilt University. There are thirteen nrchhishops and seventy-three Roman Catholic bishops in tho United States. The Cumberland Presbyterian Church has 151.O20 communicants, rfn increase for the year of 6,7S3. News has been received by cable of the death of lsaao Q. Bliss, D. D., of the Biblehonse.Constantinople. It occurred at Asiut, Egypt, Feb. 16. Kid er Nathaniel Gray, of San Francisco. Cal., has given property in that city, valued at $.V),O0O, to the San Francisco Theological Seminary, Presbyterian. Bishop Turner has shocked tho members of the African Methodist Episcopal Church by declaring that it is declining, and is even now in the throes of death. Mont Athos, with its 10,000 monks, is one of the strongest spots in southeastern Europe. The monks are of the orthodox, or Greek that is, Kussian Church. The Rev. Homer Eaton, D. D., of the Trey Conference, has been, chosen agent of the Methodist liook Concern, in New York, in place of John M. Phillips, deceased. The theological school of the M. E. Church of Florence is the most recent move toward securing a better education for Italian converts who desire to enter tho ministry. The Rev. Mr. Baxter, an English clergyman, announces that the end of this world is surely coming in 1901. He claims that his calculations have been made with the greatest care, and that there is no possibility of failure. The recently issued year-hook of the Ouakers shows that in the whole world there are0,0o4 orthodox Friends, led by 1.411 elders or ministers. In America there are Tl.Tb'O Friends. Indiana leads the States with a membership of about 20,000. In London and Dublin there are 13,275 Quakers. Mr. Moody announces that on April 4 he will open in Chicago a convention of Christian workers similar to those he holds in Northfield in tho summers. The meetings will continue from thirty to sixty days. The mornings will be devoted to study of the Bible and its application to the wants of this age; afternoons and evenings to "Applied Christianity." In St. George?s, Stuyvesant square, one of the largest and most active of the Episcopal churches of New York, the sittings are all free, and the church is supported bv the contributions of tho worshipers. These are made on what is known as the envelope system, each parishioner pledging himself to a certain weeklypayinent, whetherpresent or absent. The subscribers at St. George's number over 700, the contributions ranging from 5 cents to $10 a Sunday, and the total amount being over $25,000 a year, an income that few churches are able to obtain from renting the pews. A dispatch from Rome says the Dreconizationof the following bishops has taken flace: John fc. Foley, to Detroit: Johu J. lennessy, to Wichita: Thomas Heslin, to Natchez; T. J. Dowling was translated from Petersboro, Canada, to Hamilton, Canada, and Dean O'Conuor was named for tho latter seej Bishop John J. Keane, rector of the American Catholic University, was named to the titular See of Ajasso, and in the consistory Mgr. O'Conuell, rector of the American College in Rome, asked for and received the pallium for Archbishop Janssens, of New Orleans. Announcing to his people his declination of thn oiler of the diocese of Detroit, tho Kev. Dr. Satterlee. of Calvary Church, New York, said on Sunday: I have been trving to share with you my ideal of parish life, which is a high one to rue.

Lay corner-stone of purity and truth; On this foundation sure uplift the home; Yet bear in mind the structure win not stand. If love build not from base to rounded dome. The Mustache Threatened. Pittsburg Dispatch. Following on the heels of the attempt made by certain courageous possessors of comely calves in New York city to revive knee breeches as a distinguishing feature of full dressy a rumor comes that the gilded youth, of Boston, are thinking of cribbing another wrinkle from tho fashion of the past. According to this rumor the abolition of the mustache has come up for discussion, and it is said as an affirmative argument and with truth, that no gentleman of the last century would have thought of growing a mustache. Probably this movement against the most popular hirsute adornment of men in these days has had its origin in the minds of those young men whose name is legion, who have found the raising of a mustache a difficult if not an impracticable affair. It can be readily imagined that among these callow youth, whose upper lips persist in remaining downy, such a fashion would come as a mighty boon. There was a fox ' once who lost his tail in a trap and wished ; to persuade the other foxes to follow his fashion and go brushless. He was not successful, we believe. So it will be with the opponents of the mustache. They will be flouted for their pains. And supposing these daring innovators were to change, the present fashion, how could they hope , to escape the wrath of young women everywhere? The mustache as an accompain'mentof osculation is popular with the fair sex, we havo always understood. Remnant of a Curious People. Scottish American. . Among the many-scattered remnants of nations in India there arc few more interesting than the Beni-Israel of the Boinbav side. ThQ Beni-Israel do not belong to tho lost tribes, nor have they any mysterious connections with the great Pyraiuid. Their own legends aver that centuries ago their forefathers. Hying by sea fro u a country in the north, were shipwrecked near Kenery island, and the survivors, seven families, took refuge at Navgoan. homeles.s,pennile8s. among strangers, and without the books of their law. The date of this hegira is estimated from 1,(XX) to 2,1)00 years ago. Since that date tho little colon y of fourteen souls has j?rown into a dunersed community of 10,000, not uulike the ordinary Konkan peasantry, but religiously observing the Jewish Sabbath aud whatever they can remember of the Mosaira). law. They have been hewers of wtod and drawers of water to whatever king chances to reign; but they aTe as much Hebre w to-day as they were two centuries before Christ.

Lake Biwa. in Japan, is the largest sheet of fresh water in that country, having an area of ."500 square miles. A scarlet geranium leaf that measured 47 inches in circumference was picked at Hauford, Cal., a few days ago. Four negatives were recently taken of a cannon ball that occupied onlyonp-forticth of a second in passing a giveu'space. A San Diego (Cal.) man has planted ten. acres of- inullerry trees, preparatory to going iuto tho Lmsiuess of raising silk worms. In one day last week 6Sf alligator hides were brought into Fort Ogdeu, Fla., lor 6ale. There is money in the saurian, and the massacre goes on. North East, Md., has an enterprise which has no counterpart elsewhere in the world. It is an establishment for the removal of the tin from the sheet-iron in scrap tin. A great lake of asphalt has been dscovered in Utah and one of crude petroleum in Vyoming. The Wyoming oil lake is to bo dipped into barrels and shipped to market. The Eiflel tower, Paris, will be finished April 1. The elevator trip will take live minutes. Tho tower is now 825 feet, and weighs 7,fc00 ton6. There is to be added 800 tons more. A shrewd citizen of Montezuma, Ga.. swapped horses ten times in one day, and made $125, and galloped home that night possessor of the same horse to impart the news to his family. A horse farm of 120,000 acres, near Cheyenne, Wy. T.. is said to le tho largest in the world. It requires200 miles of wire fencing, with sixty-live men to look after the horses, which number 5,000. A Chinese lanndryman at Pottsville, Ta., has what he calls a water lily nourished entirely by water, no earth being around ii. He sent to China for the bulb, which is now eighteen inches high, and bears a small white, but very fragrant, flower. They have discovered a new stvle of cable-car blockade in Pittsburg. A gasmain leaked, and tilled the conduit with gas. The gas caught tire, and heated the slot. A passing wagon acted as a hammer on the softened iron, and business was suspended until the gas could be extinguished and the slot pried open. Tho apple market has some queer phases no in Maine this winter. Recently a man started from Kent's Mill with a load of dried apples to selL At Mount Vernon he was offered 5 cents a pound; several miles further along he could have got 4 cents, but when he reached Augusta nobody would give him over 3 cents, Tho apples went back. The rock to which a chain was attached during the war of the revolution to prevent vessels going np the Hudson river will have to be removed in making excavations for the Peekskill bridge in the highlands. It will be taken out entire and preserved at either West point, Newburg, or in the rooms of the Historical Society, in New York. Scientists are greatly interested in the discovery of a fossil tree, known as the Cellns gigautus, in the shaft of the Meriden (Conn.) Quarry Company. It was unearthed at tho lowest level yet reached by the company, and, it is claimed, is ihc only known specimen discovered. It maybe also worth while to remember that the fertile-minded Barnum is still in Connecticut. Mrs. L. C. Abraham, of Cleveland, lost a year ago a gold ball in which was inclosed by a spring a diamond worth $."i00. It was one of a pair of unique earrings. The ball was found by chance the other day with a child's marbles in a workingman's cottage, and the story of its wanderings since it dropped from itsfair owner's ear would fill a story book. A cat upon the Tomlinsou plantation, in Lee county, Georgia, committed suicide on account of the loss of her kittens. The young felines were drowned. In the afternoon the cat went around in great grief, and that night ended her life by placing her head through a large crack in the crib and moving along nntil she got to a narrow place and then letting go. She was found in the morning hanging, stone dead. The Mexicans have a ttneer way of burying the dead. The corpse is tightly wrapped in century-plant matting and placed in a coflin, rented for about twenty-live cents. One or two natives, as the case maybe, ?lace the coniu on their heads and go in a rot to the grave, where the body is interred, and the coilin is then returned. Tho

M. Nassonoti has investigated a new species of clione which tunnels oyster and mussel shells, and he believes that the boring of the canals and galleries is performed solely by the soft parts of tho sponge. The penetration of the prolongation of the body of the sponge into the shell appears to he accomplished bv the secretion of a corroding liquid, probably an acid. A daughter of editor Mortimer, of New Iiloomficld, Pa., broucht up out of the cellar a large head of cabbage to prepare for the family's Sunday dinner. She cut it open, and immediately began to scream loudly. A member of the family ran in and found a snake, nearlv two feet long, sqnirining about on the table. It had been snugly coiled around the cabbage-head under the outer leaves, where it had probably been making its quarters all winter. A Japanese, after twenty years of labor, research and experiment, has patented an invention for walking on the water a sort of shoe made of wood, of paper, of iron and cf gum elastic. Its shape is elliptical, and it is joined with a belt of salvage and gutta-percha tubes. It is not stated what makes the locomotion, but it claims to go nearly a league an hour. The whole thing does not weigh more than two and a half pounds, and it allows the voyager to carry with him about twenty-tive pounds of baggage. A California paper gives some interesting facts relative to the growing of grapes. It says: The total expense of cultivating an aero of grapes is $15; the curing and packing of an acre of grapes, making 100 boxes of rauins, . The average price of raisins for th-5 last four years has been about $1.00 per box. Putting the price at $1.50 per box for the four grades, we have a total net profit of fXi per acre. Many vineyards do better than the above. Vineyards have frequently been known to produce grapes enough the lirst year afterplanting to pay expenses of cultivation. The second vear brings from &X) to 30 per acre gross; third year, $00 to 075. A gentleman at Martin's Ferry, O., has a huge Newfoundland dog which has a great deal of good sense and discretion and a keen appreciation of the fitness of things. The gentleman has two small boys, one, however, being smaller than the other. One day last week the boys got into a quarrel, and. naturally, the largerboy was getting the best of it. The dog, which is heavier than eitner boy, came to the rescue at a very appropriate time. and. standing on his hind feet, parted the belligerents with his fore paws and then dragged the larger boy away without in the slightest degree injuring him or showing any ill temper. The tarpon is the king of game fish. His home is in the Gulf of Mexico and in the western Atlantic. He occasionally appears as far north as the Jersey coast, and is met with around the West Indies, but is most frequently caught in the bays and harbors of the Florida coast. In his prime the tarpon is a tux-footer. He weighs from 100 to 150 pounds. He is remarkable for his great beauty. When first landed his scales 6hino as though plated with silver. He has a long bony projection at the dorsal fin, which is often seen scooting along the top of the water while the fish is out of sight beneath. The tarpon is known in Georgia as the "Jew-lish," and in Texas as the "Savanilla." In other places it is called "silver fish'' and "silver king." The French-sneaking people of the gulf coast call it the "grand ecaille," owing to the size of the scales. How to Treat Tootli-Brvislie. Albany Journal. "If," said a young lady in an Albany drug store this morning, "you can sell me a tooth-brush the bristles of which will not come out after I have used it two or three times, 1 will buy one."
