"Professor Huxley on Faith, I may have the most absolute faith that a friend has not committed the crime of which he is accused. In Uie early days of English history, if mv mend could have obtained a few more compurgators of like robust faith, he would have been acquitted. At the present day, if I tendered myself as a witness on that score, the judge would tell me to stand down, and the young est barrister would smile at my sim plicity. , Miserable indeed is the man who has not such faith in some of his fellow men only less miserable than the man who allows himself to forget that such raith is not. strictly speak ing, evidence; and when his faith ii disappointed, as will happen now and again, turns Timon ana blames the universe ror his own blunders. And so. if a man can find a friend, ths hy postasis of all his hopes, the mirror of his ethical Ideal, In the Jesus of any, or all, of the Gospels, let him live by faith in that ideal. Who shall or can forbid him I But let him not delude himself with the notion that his faith is evidence of the objective reality of that in which he trusts. Such evi dence is to be obtained only by the use of the methods of science, as ap plied to history and to literature, and it amounts at present to very little. Professor Thomas H.

A species of crime which is increat inc duilv is that stvled drama d'amour. It was Chambigo, tiie sorry- hero of the Algerian tragedy, who set the ball rolling, and now his example is being followed by no eud of disappointed lovers. Here again the cause is mainly due to the clemency of both juries and judges. The press, too, has much to answer for. 8uch is the condition of publio morals that fashionable writers do not hesitate to treat these offenders as "martyrs to their affec tion." They are pitied, and, in fact, almost petted, aud extenuatiug cir cumstances are voted them unani mously.

Many extra vagant stories are in cir culation as to the cost of private cars, such as are used by railroad magnates, opera singers, imported actors ana millionaires, and 1 have often heard it stated that an average Pullman pal ace car is worth 160,000. Stories are printed about cars costing all the way from 1100,000 to $300,000. The fact of the matter is that palace car costs 112,000 complete. The make up of all cars, regular or special, is about the same. - Additional cost is brought about by the internal decoration, and that must necessarily be limited. I doubt if there ever was a cur con structed that ever cost more than 135 000. To exosed that figure would re- Eire a decoration exclusively in pels and the precious metals.
