Some of the papers are having a good deal of fuse over the “negotiations” as to certaio jadgeships and governorships Oth+rs take the matter more serious!y For iurtauce the Mvvtreal Gazette says

“Ic trusted, however, that in the future the burgainers will bave sufficient respect for puvlic decency, and for what is right to cercyon their hackstering with less pubi.ci'y thao ha-, during the present week, been exhibited at Quebec in connection with the nomination of men to fill vacancies on the judicial bench, that it ie hoped ocreate, The situstion is more tha» unseemiy.

—The Chinese Government has caused

it to be made known that, upto the time

of the German occupation of Kiso-Chau Bay, no claim was made by Germany for

reparation as a result of the murders of

the two German miasiovaries, Nies and Renule, and that there were no other d ff between the two Governments. Consequently the Goversment of China pointsout thatthe missiousry question 18 7e- garded # pretext to obtein a saval station, which it is vhown Germany has long coveted. The Chinese Government, itis said ‘n conclusior, wil never consent to the Germans remai.ing at Kiao-Chau Bay, as their presence there deprives China of a harbor, which, siece the war with Japan, haa been regarded as the most suitable naval base of operations

s A BACHELOR’S REVERIE,

Ob, a home is a terrible handicap To a soul that fain would be free!

It has captured many a prisoned chap But it shall never shackle me.

Instead of the cares I would have te face In the same old rounds each day

Oh, give me a room in a lodging place And a lunch at a chance cafe!

I never need hurry to catch my car, For { haven't a place to go,

And early or late no meals I mar, For I'm dining alone, you know.

The hands of the elock I never chase, For I drift in an easy way,

Bince I sleep in a transient lodging place And lunch at a chance cafe.

A brother of mine—I loved him well— Went wrong in his early years, For he married and bought him a place tu av ll (Oh, the thought of it brings me tears!) And there he has lived—what a pitiful Chapea And there he will likely stay, While I still sleep in a lodging place And.lunch at a chance cafe.

I sometimes think of His wife and child And the vine at his cottage door,

While I dream of thé perfect lips that

smniled, But they smtile for me no more.

And I muse, “if the saint with the angel Had answered me ‘Yes’ that day,

Would I sleep in a transient lodging place Or lunch at a chance cafe?"’

OR. JASPER ON THE SUN.

His Famous Sermon Shows That the Orb Really Moves.

Among the show places of the city of Richmond the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist church, with its pastor, the Rev. John Jasper, is not regarded in the same rank as the capitol or the site of Libby prison, But he ought to be, for he is the author of that famous sermon on the sun called ‘The Sun Do Move.’”’

Dr. Jasper is proud of his sermon and loves to dilate on the various and places in which he has delivered his unique arcument. It was first heard in his own phurch, and then by request in the Market house before a vast gathering. After that, under a Lyceum bureau,

which paid him $100 a month and all his traveling expenses, he delivered it in Bal timore, Washington, Philadelphia, Cam- | den, Pittsburg and many other places, convincing many deep thinkers of the fal- | lncies of the now generally accepted theory | of the solar system. 1 The doctor lives in a little room near |

in which he welcomes Visitors His masterpiece is Mr. Coper-

his church with much cordiality. t}

an attack on the doctrines of

nicus, who, he says, ‘‘claims that the earth revolves on axlies.’’ Mr. Isaac Newton and Mr. Herschel and other scientists of

that caliber. He is not at all sure of where these eminent philosephers reside at present, but he has a vague idea that it

is ‘‘up north somewhere.’”’

The text for the sermon Dr. Jasper finds in Exodus. It is ‘‘The Lord is a man of war, the Lord is his name.’’ It is a long way from this toa philosophical portion of his argument. This he establishes by quoting from Revelation the verse which relates to the spectacle of four angels standing on the four corners of the earth holding the four winds. ‘lLhrough this he points out that the earth is square and not round, according to the general belief which has existed for some years.

Of the fact that the sun really does move he brings the Scriptures again to bear witness, notably in the psalm beginning ‘*From the rising of the sun.’’ But in Joshua’scommand to the sun to stand stili Dr. Jasper finds his greatest argument and his peroration. The eighth verse of the thirty-cighth chapter of Isaiah and the twelfth and thirteenth verses and the tenth chapter of Joshua end the sermon thus:

‘*Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sundial of Ahaz 10 degrees backward. So the sun returned 10 degrees, by which de- grees it was gone down.”’

“Thus spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amo- rites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon, and thou, moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

‘‘And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed until the people had avenged them- selves upon their enemics.’’—New York Press.

Early Man. “Was early man a savage?’ asks a sei- entific friend. We were not on such fa- miliar terms with the early man that was as would enable us to give details of his pri- vate life, but if our triend will alter the verb and ask about the carly man that is, we think the following reply will satisfy him: It depends upon circumstances,

Two winters aco we had an experience of

the

early man that will last us for years. He was carly because he had to « atch a train. He light da candle—the gas was turned

off at the meter—-and proceeded to dress.

turned and writhed as he used one thumb and then the other, he cast his up at the ceiling, hung out his tongue, jumped about and made faces and remarks, but that hole would not go round the stud. He had a rest, wiped away the perspiration and started again very deliberately, but without result. Then he tried the button hook, but he only succeeded in clawing out a piece of flesh and losing the stud on the floor under the bed.

Then he made remarks. This aroused his wife, who proceeded to show him the superiority of woman in the great enterprises of this life. In exactly two ininutes she had found that stud, buttoned his collar, arranged his necktie, told him to make haste and called him an idiot. After that our carly nan was too sayage for anything.—VPearson’s Weekly.

Origin of Names.

Where a community persisted in calling aman Black, it was useless for him to try to call himself White—he had to acquiesce in the choice of the majority, says a writer in Good Words, This class is the most difficult of all to do justice to in the short space of a paper. Indeed the bases of nick- names are so humerous that if is almost impossible to classify them—physical pe- culiarities, complimentary, as Strongith- arm, and derogatory, as Spindleshanks, Sheepshanks, Crookshanks, Heavisides, etc.; mental attributes as Grave, Stern, Wise, Sage, Moody, Proud, Courteous (Curteis). om one hand, and on the other Blythe, Gay, Foolhardy, Jolly, Meek, ete. ; nicknames from complexion and color of the hair, as Black, White, Brown and Browning, Ruddy, Readman, Hoare, Grey, etc. ; nicknames from peculiarities of dress, Curtmantel, Shorthose, etc.; trom social position, as Bastard, Lacklands, and so on; from the animal and vegetable king- ioms, from birds and fishes.

Then compounds were made by applying a sobriquet to a Christian name, as Mickle- john, Littlejohn, Brownjohn; if he was a comely, well made fellow he was Proper- john. These names appear again in Nor- man guise, as Grosjean, Petijean, Bonjean, hrom which comes Bunyan—so that when we speak of good John Bunyan we are (perhaps unconsciously) only transposing the name of ‘‘the inspired tinker.’’
