of a man and that money got in wrong
ways is a curse; text. Exodus xxxii, 20.

made nnd burnt it in the fire and ground
it to powder and strewed it upon the

long, a high altar. The victims 'sacrificed
on it are the Svvartouts and the Ketcliams
and the Fisks and ten thousand other
people who are slain before this golden

This vociferation end gyration of the
Stock Exchange is all appropriate. This
is the worship of the golden calf.
But my text suggests that this worship
has to be broken up, as the behavior of
Moses on this occasion indicated. There
are those who say that this golden calf
spoken of in the text was hollow and
merely plated with gold. Otherwise
Moses could not have carried it. I do
not know t. But somehow, perhaps by
the assistance of his friends, lie takes up
this golden calf, which is an infernal in¬
sult to God and man, and throws it into
the fire, and it is melted. And then it
conies out and is cooled off, and by some
chemical appliance or by an old iaslnoneu
file it is pulverized, and it is thrown into
the brook, and as a punishment nauseating the people
are compelled to drink the
stuff. So you may depend upon it that

will compel the people in their agony to
drink it. It not before, it will be on the

West End, but it will be a very hot blaze.

The judgments of God, like Moses in
the text, will rush in and break up this

engagements shall fell themselves bound
to keep them, and when a man who will

The Happy Side la Fiction.
Mr. Marcus Stone has opened up a
subject which, wore our silly season
not so packed with wars and rumors of
wars, might well provide the public
with u theme whereon to moralize In
print. Talking to an Interviewer for
the benefit of the "Young Man," Mr.
Stone declared that both In literature
and art It is easier to picture sorrow
than Joy. Accordli*g to Mr. Stone,
much of our modern rcullsm, with Its
depressing morbidity and Its gloomy
philosophy, Is due solely to the ease
wherewith It can be produced. "1 have
only to paint a collln on a trestle In
an empty room,” says the artist, “and
I cannot help Impressing somebody."
The real dltileulty Is to paint the bright
and happy side of life, to give the
world mirth and refreshment. We are
inclined to agree with Mr. Stone. The
average reader of the hooks, at any
rate, prefers the book that makes him
happy, to that which closes In sorrow.
In tragedy, of course, there must bo
sorrow, but It is not the pitiful, sor¬
did sorrow which modern novelists
affect, it Is sublime, as in “Lear.” We
can enjoy Lamb's mockery of Tate for
putting Ids hook In the nostrils of
“this Leviathan” for Garrick to attract
playgoers with a happy ending; but
we could wish, nevertheless, that
modern novelists would realize their
own limitations, and give mankind
in place of cheap pathos and cynical
philosophy, books that breathe the
Joy of existence, picture the cheerful
side of life, nud end happily.—London

The American Invasion ol London.
The suggestion in your Issue of to¬
day for providing volunteer guides for
our American, colonial and country
cousins on their visits to London
strikes me as an admirable one. How
often do we seu our visitors gazing
aimlessly about the streets, jostled by
the crowds or standing apart at street
corners trying in vain to find out in
“Baedeker” what they want. Surely
there are many Londoners of both
sexes possessed of a competent knowl¬
edge of the chief churches, museums
and objects of Interest (or who could
soon obtain such knowledge) who
would be glad to devote a day or half
a day now and again during the holi¬
day season to escorting about London
small parties, say of eight or ten.—

TO PRESERVE WOMANLY BEAUTY
At all the stages of a woman’s life Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, is shown to be efficient to ward off the results of nervousness, or over¬
work, or impure blood. From early girlhood to advanced years, this world-
renowned medicine builds up the forces destroyed by disease, grief, or over-
exertion, and the effects of this great medicine are quickly felt and permanently
retained. Let women guard well their health, and consult Dr. Greene freely.
Nothing they can possibly do will so surely keep them strong and well, or re¬
pair the exhaustion from acute illness, nothing will work so continually to the
preservation of beauty as the great health-giving Nervura. Dr. Greene’s office
is at 35 West 14th Street, New York City, where he may be consulted either by
