imagine the mighty achievements, that may
be wrought by the next generation. ' Rleam

world. There is no' telling to what these
agencies may yet bo applied, nor hew
many Intent powers of nature are to be
bronghl out. Human beings mir yet lie
enabled to travel on und. under the water,
to navigate the air, ' to penetrate the
liowFIs of the earlh and explore the
bidden mystotics of nature. The fncplfrfgi
niiod or man .is constantly probing sicrets
and bringing to )ikt dark and bidden
tilings. Where will this spirit of inquiry
lead us to? The human race may Income
presumptuous, men may aspire to be angels,
and bring down divine punishment upon
their lieads. "

"Yon must confess," remarked a New
York merchant to a Cbicsgo merchant, as
they were discussing the merits of their re
spective cities, '-that Now York is the me
tropolis or the country." ''Yes," repliod
the man of the Yi'est: '-New Yoik is a right
smart place for business. New York is the
Chicago of the East." Another Westerner
gave it as his opiuion "that New York was
too far from Indianapolis ever to be much
of a place." Which reminds us of the remark
made by a rough farmer who lived at the
foot of a high mountain in Maine, miles
away from any neighbors. A young man
from New York roaming about on a fishing
tramp, stumbled upon the farmer's lonely
house. , They entered Into conversation,
and learning that hiB guest wns from New
York,' the worthy man exclaimed, in un
feigned surprise: "Well, now, how can you

lortuftont, coal beds are discovered. Coal
was the base of England's eommerciul great
ness, and as our coal base is immensely
broader than that or England, our commer
cial greatness must become proportioned
larger.

' Guess he didn't cheat dig child much, for
