A lady writes to me and asks what is really meant by the "needle's eye',' in' the parable of the rich' man. I re member reading, somewhere that it was the smallest gate that gave en trance to the walled city of Jerusa lem, and that a loaded camel had to be stripped ofl its burden and bend its knees to squeeze through. And so a rich man had to give up his riches and come to his knees before he cou.ld enter heaven. . But I do nqt find that in any commentary. It was just one of the thousand proverbs that adorned the moral teachings of the Jews and the eastern nations. The -writings of Job and Solomon and Confucius and Mahomet abound in them. In the Koran is found this proverb: "The impious man will find the jgates of heaven shut and be can no more enter than a camel can ffeiss thrpugh a needle's eye." " There is andther in the j Koran .which says ; "You will never see a palm, tree of gold nor an elephant pass thrpugh a n,eedle's eye;" These proverbs simply meant that it was impossible. Strange o say, the world has long since quit making proverbs . All proverbs have come down to us, even such as "A railing stone gathers no moss.'' "Poor Richard" left us a few,such as A penny saved is two pence gained." A young man eager for knowledge writes to know why it is that when you reverse a number and subtract the less from the greater. the difference is always nine or some multiple of nine, and nine will divide it without a re mainder., lie wants to know the rea son why. This is rather complex,but the reason is plain when you see it. By reversing a number you change the numerical value of every figure in it units become tens or hundreds or thousands, and vice versa; and hence, ir you subtract a unit from a ten jit leaves nine. Take ten, for instance, and reverse it and it - is .01. It was ten before and it is one now, and the difference is obliged to be nine. Take 91 and reverse it and. you change 9 tens to 9 units, and 1 unit to ten; gaining 81 and losing 9, which makes 72, a multiple of 9. Now if you add instead of subtract the sum will be 11 or sme multiple of 11, 10 and 01 11; 13 and 31 make 44; 16 and 61 make 77; 24 and 42 make 66; all mul tiples of 11.' : The complexities and results of figures are mny " and very wonderful. They train the mind and strain the, mind. ,1 know they did mine when I was struggling through trigonometry and calculus.- A boy I can fudge and smuggle along through L,atin ana ureek wltn tne nelp ot translations, but he can't fool the professor and the blackboard. Another enquiring mind wishes to know why it is that .the first day (of May and the following Christmas al ways come .on .the same day . of the week. Well, it can't help it, that's all, for there are ' thirty-four even weeks from one to the other. But Cikristrnaa day and th'e first day of the next May don't fit. February comes in and knocks the even into odd. j y, A Florida girl writes that her alma nac is all wrong, for it gives February only twenty-eiiht days,notwithstand ing this is leap year. . Yes, Miss, this is leap year, but it don'tJeap. The last year in every century has to be skipped as a leap year, for old father times gains a day in every hundred! years, and the clock has to be setback twenty-four hours. v l- -j - ; : 1 And here, is a- good humble, sensi ble letter from a Louisiana negro who says he has great respect for the white peoplej and loves to Jean upon them, for they know -best and they ha've treated him kindly all hia life. Jle wants to know, where the word negro comes from," arid what it means. He says : "I read all your letters, and you give us some.;, awful? blows, -'but ytyi can't blow, the monkey out j of us." Well, the word negro is Span ish -c and' Portueee for black. The French H nigre. The Latin is niger,' and the English corrupted it into nig ger. . The Century dictionary skys that njgger is more English than ne gro, and was used without opprobri ous intent, and ' can be found ) in writings of Tom Hood and Praed and .Trevelym The Irish call them nagers. But as the -Latin 1a the foundation of all the languages I would say that niger is really the origin and the most popular name for the race. : . I 1 was on the tram once when good old Sanford Bell was very much per- plexed about a miserable, cadaverous- looking foreigner who took a seat; in the negro's car, and a negro preacher make a - fuss about it. So Sanford asked hini whether he was a negro or a white man. He shrugged his shoulders and grinned as he replied : "Mine fader vasa Portugee, and mine mudder vas a nagur." Sanford looked at the preacher and said : "What shall 1 do with him ?" , "Let him stay or pitch him out of the window," he replied, f " Sanford said to me, "I think he is a cross between a babboon and an esquimo." ,; j I like such negroes as the one wno wrote me that respectful and sensible letter. In - fact I know of many ;ne groes who have ; hot only my -; regard but a share ' of my affections. How willing they are to oblige you When I am afar from home ana wani lnior- mation about the trains or the towri or the time I alwavs ask a negro, i for he will tell me more willingly than a white man. ; Yes, more willingly than some depot officials I have met. A good negro died nere tne otner day a negro whose conduct and in dustry and politeness ? has been for years without a spot. u. .nans ratierson deserves a monument ' for he did4 the very best he could. He-fcad no chil dren but : adopted two 'orphan girls and raised them, -j" He was manly in his deportment; always respectful to the white people,1 and did not mingle in politics and ; worked in his .black smith shop early and late and was al ways honest in all. his dealings. What more -need be H&aid f -any -citizen, whether his skin bV white or black. The negroes of northGeorgia deserve commendation for their ood conduct. They are. as a rule, law-abiding and industrious:?' We have been, living here quite near to a negro settlement for twelve years, arid have jiever locked a door nor lost chicken. I believe the race is improving general ty in the rural districts of this part of the State, and in the small towns, but that they are getting worse in the cities the police reports every day at test, and the devil fceems to have broken loose among! them in lower Georgia. A few more lynchings are wanted. .' ' j ;- A gentleman front Texas an old Georgian has been (reading Julian Hawthorn's "Nations' of the World," and finds on the eight hundred and fourth page of the fifteenth volume, that when William Henry Harrison was. nominated for President there were several aspirants -in different States: Webster, from Massachusetts; McLean, from Ohio; play, from Ken tucky, and White, frojm Georgia. He desires to know something about this White. Well, it is aj mistake, that's all. Hawthorn meant Hugh L. White, of Tennessee, a very great and gifted statesman. He succeeded Andrew Jackson in the United States Senate in 1825. He carried the State of Ten nessee by 10,000 votes over Andrew Jackson in 1828. Asian aspirant for the Whig nominationjfor President he carried his own State and the State of Georgia. . He "was a jvery great and good man, but Mr. Hawthorn's mis taken. He was not from Georgia. ' But this is enough of answers to correspondents who request an an swer in your paper.

In discussing subject Senator Jones says the people have unbounded faith in his integrity and in hia unselfishness. "This brings himj close to -their hearts," says the Jetjter, "and in my opinion he 'is stronger; than ever be fore. I am constantly in receipt of letters from men who have not here tofore supported him) and I can name them by scores men! of prominence character and force,! who looked on Bryan as an untried and unknown man in 1898, who are now enthusias-tic-for him, and whei are supporting him with all their might. In many instances, thousand! of those who were called goldbugs in 1896, hav come back, bodily intp the party, and will support it with jgreat cordiality.

It would be hard indeed to run a church or a home as Jesus would run It, much Us a newtpaper. , Mr. Shel don bat written some very readable books, they bare caught the public eye arid have been circulated by he hun dred of thousands. His books give as Chr'stian aocUllsin after tbe kinder garten kind and of course notoriety goes further than wisdom and ppulr clamor is londer than the boom of. cannons or peals of thunder.

Mr. Sheldon beads tbe procession in his lire. He is tht only man living or dead who ever at tempted tbe feat of running a daily newspaper like Jesus would haverun it. If Mr. Sheldon knew how Jesus would run a newspaper aod would run it that way, it would tbeu te a newspaper as Jesus would run it, but ! have as much right to interpret the mind of Christ and to discern hia mental processes, as Mr. Sheldon or any other man living. I la the first place I do not believe if Jesus were here tcdsy be would run a newspaper. Uf course he could, but would ht? I have some acquaintance with the editors and their work of our leading religious newspapers, such as our Chris tian Advocates, Presbyterian Obeemri', and Baptist Standards and the many others which make up our cburcu organs and furnish the church wit'a it Don secular or religious news. , V Religious pipew are uot a howlina success, for tne average cuurcn pner is as poor rs a cburcu mouse, lr tney furnish it t o preachersat h-Ul pnee nd to the laity generally on a credit The Baptist editor farnigb- s immersed edi torials, the Methodist pours the water bo his, tu FieAty terian spriukles fcis, the Cthc4io editor consul's the poie and the propigHnder, and the Eisx irIiho puts, a neat gown on bi.

While they haye dwaj s hud enough prohibition, senti n this country lo guarantee support fr .be prohibition papers, yet it is a fact hat the sentiment that didn't vote for prohibition would not support the papers that advocated it.! We have perha five thousand religious weekly papers circulated in the United States. No one baa attempted to run a daily newspaper like Jesus would run it except Mr. Sheldon. Now that his job is finished he is a sinner if he claims he run it just as Jesus would have run it He ; an nounces that he did not endorse all the views of his paper-only the articles over his own signature. The devil him self could have made . the, same t an nouncement if he 'had been running a newspaper. A man must be wonderfully lucky or extremely wise if he can en dorse all of his own articles. Of course be could not undertake the job of en plaim that he was running it as Jesus Would run it. . j I am glad Mr. Sheldon made the ex periment. I have ' not gotten so old myself that I don't like new things. I inust confess that I picked up Mr. Shel don's paper at first with a kind of su perstitious awe, but I didn't look at many copies until I felt like one of our religious weekly papers was simply try ing the experiment of a daily issue. The New York Christian Advocate, the Philadelphia Presbyterian Observer, or tbe Cincinnati Advocate Standard are all religious papers, and more religious per aps than sMr. Sheldon's daily, though he did jun it as he thought Jeeus would run it. : ; - The truth of the business is 1 don't know a man on earth who could run himst If as Jf sus tells him to run him -self much less one who can jump mto a new field, and such a field as the daily newspaper business in the United Stales -a field where, the -devil has had the right of way o long and the whole business run like he wants it. I. not only do not think a man can do it but I would repudiate a dream that suggested such a thing and attribute its origin to to 1 much pork that I had eaten for supper. ? That this effort of Mr. Sheldon will have any influence in spreading Chris tianity or any other profitable doctrine we are left ( to 'surmise and prophecy. Christianity is a very difficult thing to spread these &ya.- She has been con tractinzn us for the last year or two if we can rely on the statistical reports of the churchea.

At his own rrqueat th operation was performed by Dr. Rosier. W, Johnson, assisted by Dr. Arthur Hebb and E. B, Freeman, in tbe college amphitheatre before tbe cUoie, s I)r. Johnson explained to the class that the operation bad been determined upon because of a deprrtaion in the skull which was supposed to effect the brain. "For months," be cootinued, "tbe patient has been a sufferer of headache of an inceesaut character. It oa been attributed' to malaria and other causes and treated accordingly, but without relief.. Tne depression, we have discovered, was caused by a bowl ou the bead with a stone ia youth."

But maov thougUtfal readers, while acknowledging tbta, have tiU felt tbere ia some mtuke about it somewhere. ,1 have dared tbU morning to try to define this mistake. After long tooiht 1 believe it to be this: While our &ariar was iateaJed to be oar example as to character, principles, mo tives ana Virtues, nis hie wet not in tended to be complete example a . to tbe particular and minute ecu of life. If be bad lived a lone life on earth, oc cupying ibe various calling of -men, and a complete and authentic record of his acta bad been left us, we might bare contented for his example at a perfect rule as to all the acta of life. But this waa not the fact. Nor can we conceive of the real Christ as occupying our places, because of the peculiar nature of his person and the distinctive charac ter of hia work. - It must not be forgotten for one mo ment that be was God aa well as man. I am in thorough sympathy with every effort to impress the truth of Christ on humanity, and that be was the Ideal Man. But we must not do this ia each a way as to make man forget that be wa a Divine man, God incarnate. But to conceive of Christ as occupying some of the positiooi which we not only my ; occupy but must occupy to accomplish our mission in life, would be utterly in consistent with his divinity. , Toere are ! n things that a perfect miu.may do,1 which we cannot ooaceive of a Gud man as doing aud. vv versa. , , : 'Agiin, Christ's work wa d stiuciive and peculiar. It mu-t never te. for go' tan that CoriH'a chief w rk on ; ear.h was to off jr Hi nslf as a Sacrifice for sin; not to live but to die. This mission made him a solitary man. While Christ did yrnpathixe with the bumaJ j y, he could not partake of ' them. l ean never imagine him as entering into all the sports of boyhood. I can imigine him smilitig, but I cannot imagine birn lauhing. His peculiar mission re quired of him sacrifice whico.be dots not require of all his follower to make. As a physician he never received a fee, nor cau I conceive of him as accepting one if be were on earth to-day. Yet must the physician never charge anything for his services?, A a preacher who could conceive of Jesus as accept ing a salary T Who could , conceive - of him as en gaging iu any lucrative busi ness? He could not even use bis power to make bread out of a stone when be was starving. How would he have edited a paptr? He would not have edited a paper at all. How would be have conducted a business ? Not at alt How would be have uted wealth ? He would not have had it. ' "There are some things which he did do, which it may be our duty not to da He drank wine. I br neve it is my duty not to do so. 1 "This instance suffices tJ illustrate. We cannot imagine the real Christ in our position. We miy create an imag inary Jesus and put him in our p. ace. This leads to two daogrr). First, with people of a rationalistic turn of mind, Unitarianism, ignoring the divinity and sacrificial work of Christ. Second, with people of a mystic turn of mind to fan aticism, morbid and impracticable views of life. ; "What would Jesus do?" then is not the question, but '.'what wilt thou have a " .

Tney will be able to get away frost tbe farm lbs first week in July, and eo take an outing ia this way that will be without a parallel ia even Kan politic, V I ; They intend to rig up their wagons In prauie-acbooner shape and atjle and drive acrost the Suite to tbe citv, tod spenj the week in camp in tbe suburb while the gathering last. Ia this a ay they will be ia real farmer garb to at tend tbe convention, end diUy tb wUhee of the farmers in maltere of politic. Just bow many farmers will take part io this drive to the oooventUr is not known, but it ;s suted 'that at least COO wagon wi:l come from the country near Wichita, and a maay more are expected to c :mo from other portions of the State, ao that t 000 covered wagon, th veritable old-time prairie cbooaer,-; will come iaiHpg across the State during July, and then, ; after the delegate have Dominated Mr Bryan, wil go tailing back home acrot the State to tbe farm and the acen'e of borne. ; They will have their upptie with them, and wbea tbe caravan cam they will prepare their own 'meals and have a po'tticUl addreat during the evening. .When they get to the city they will select some aite in the auburt s for a big camp and live in their wagon and thus escape the exponse of fancy priced meals and the cost of railroad ticket. There will be plenty of farmer from other portion of tbe State to adopt the tame tactic, a id you can count on 1,000 wagon to be driveo into .Kansas City with voter from tbe farm to attend the convention. There i a strong aoU-oorporatiori sentiment among the farmer in Wee tern KantM, and this movement to ride on the convention citv Instead Hf marching on it a Cotey .did, i f ir the purpose of making a display of tbe farmer' strength in the West, and at the same time show their disgust and their disregard for tbeooovenUonalitie of large gathering. j Witi Cronle at St Helena, and Jou bert dead.
