A BETTER WORLD.
Bonne of our spiritual teachers, on
occasion, lament the wickedness pre
vailing ia no many places, leaving
the imnretwion with their hearers
that the world in growing worse and
that depravity and licentiousness in

The Chicago Advance, disowning the
question in a long article, In which
tiie editor haa found the good on the
increase, has these paragraph of the

The condition In Chicago will
probably be a fair representative o
the daily ureas generally. There are
in thU city twenty-four daily paper,
witli an atrirresrate Issue each mora
ing or evening of 1,023,000 copies.
have sought Information from re
porter, advertising agents, and es-
peciully at the offices of six or eight
of tho largest papers. I have taken
the Heiise ot several geotlemen ot dis
criminating Judgment whose bus!
lies Ih1s them to keep an eye on the
I.-i-iues of the press much more than
mine does. The result is on tlx
whole more hopeful than 1 had
dared to think. The question Is not
Have we an Ideal daily press? but,
Ia there improvement?
What is the drift as to morals and
religion? In every large city there
is generally one paper that oiler
itself as a cewpool, and there will
usually be enough people who love
vileness to sustain it' fairly well
But there is this compensation
whereas, ten or fifteen years ago the
mephitic stuff was diffused through
the daily press generally, It is now
sewerexl otr Into this one foul recep
tacle. It is certain that the patert
which call themselves respectable arc
cleaner than they were a decade ago.
Among their editors there are not a
few gentleman who feel how Inap
propriate It is for them to send out
to tho families of the public matter
which they would blush to take
home for their own wives and
daughters to read. It is not necessary
to suppose that there has been any
special change of heart. They are In
the newspaper business for the
money there Is In It. But that they,
keenly sensing the public sentiment,
print cleaner papers is evidence thai
there is a growing demand for public
decency.
In a conversation with an intelli
gent reorter of ten or fifteen years
ago he said this: "II you compare
the files of the daily press then with
those published now, you will find a
pile of difference. We boys used to
Just tumble-over each other to get
the latest scandals, and the one who
wrote them up In the most raw and
realistic style was the best fellow.
There is only one paper that will
print such rot now." Another, now
an editor, said, "There was one paper
then that did a deal of harm. It
whs tho leading daily of the West.
It printed more religious matter
than any other paper, but right
alongside of a report of the Tresby
teriun General Assembly, It would
take pains to give columns of the
most salacious garbage its reporters
could rake up." And this was called
enterprise in journalism, and set the
pace for all the rest! The owner of
that journal is dead now, and the
paper Itself as a separate journal has
disappeared.
It was thought then that a writer
was not bright If he did not spice his
article with a dash of contempt for
creeds and doctrines and puritanism
and, esecially, missions. And it
must be confessed that there were
not wanting ministers who seemed
to think that they had not quite
come up to the demand of the times
unless they did the same smart
thing.
This is changed now. "We In
struct our reporters," said an editor,
"to treat all religious matters with
resject." One of our dailies is print
ing a series of very able letters from
its correspondent one of the most
distinguished In the country in
Japan and China, which are so emi
nently fair and sympathetic in their
treatment of missions and mission
aries iniu extracts rrom them are
printed in religious journals all
through the land.
But there Is still room for improve
ment. And the blame Is not all one
side. It Is past all comprehension
how reputable businca men can
reconcile il to their sense of gisnl
citizenship to suffer their business
advertisements to appear In papers,
where, alongside of them, stand col
umns of the boldest and most in
famous notices. And now that one
is up and speaking, he may perhaps
be permitted to ak how the more
respectable sheets make it up with
their better selves when they print
virtuous editorial against horse racing
and prize fights on one page, and fill
tho next one with racy details of
these same naughty things. But let
us give thanks for what has lcen
clearly gained and look hoiicrully fur
iiiore.
It Is very significant to note (hat
; one of the oldest and ablest of tlx
dailies, which was always bitter to
ward evangelical matters, which wa
wont to print with open-mouthed
satisfaction whatever Mr. Ingersoll
was pleased to say, within a year or
two, for some reason has wholly
changed its tone and attitude In this
resHvt. I had large rori of re
porters at the r(on Christian En
deavor meeting, n4 printed nearly
as many columns of their matter as
It did of the proccaUiagt of the na
Uol.i presidential conventions of
'92.
And now while I am writing, the
morning Issues of one of our foremost
naoers comes to hand with more
than four columns of interviews with
the state governors, inquiring as to
their religious beliefs, with this re
sult :
"Ol the forty-four state governors
in the American union, thirty-nine
are avowed believers in religion,
twenty-nine are professed christians;
most of them are regular attendants
at worship, and a vast major'.ty are
contributors to the expense of re
ligious work."
There Is one fact which punctual
the improved conditions more than
anything else. An advertising agent
told me only last week that he had
Justsouirbt to renew for 1896 a dis
reputable medical advertisement,
now running in the principal Chicago
dailies, but that every one of tbem
declined It although there would
have been in It $o,000 of business for
each one. "I labored an hour with
one publisher," said he, "showing
him that he had other advertise
ments nearly as bad. 'I know It,'
he replied, 'but we are weeding out
that kind of stuff as fast as we can.' "
From these and other facts which
there is not space to give, the evl
deuce seems clear that, as to religion
and morals, tho books and papers the
people are reading Indicate that pub
lic sentiment is increasingly on the
up grade.
HOW WE KH00T.
The following very graphic account
of the trial our new dynamite guns,
at San Francisco, shows how we are
preparing for a lasting peace with
foreigners:
The first dynamite shell fired from
a pneumatic gun In California sang
its death - song last week at
the Presidio. It rose screaming,
snarling viciously as it curved to its
parabojic zenith, and seemed' to
lauuh sardonically as it rushed to its
impact oil the Devil's Slide. A great
mats of brown dust was lifted, be
neath which a rutlled cloud of white
fluttered for a moment, aud then
drifted along the fog-crested hills of
the Bolinas rangs until it was lost In
the mists that cling to the ragged
slopes of Tamalpais.
Preliminary to the firing of dyna
mite shells, tho guns were tested for
rapidity. The cou tract with the gov
ernment prescribed that five rounds
shall be fired In twenty minutes.
The test yesterday resulted In five
rounds lu nine minutes with gun
No. 1 of the battery, and five rounds
in five minutes and twenty-three
seconds with gun No. 3.
Shells loaded with sand and
weighing 1,100 pounds were used.
The elevation was thirty degrees and
the loading position seven degrees.
The first projectile struck the water
midway between Point Lobos aud
oint Bonita at a distance of three
miles from the battery. The others
were averaged beyond the contract
requirements ot 4,000 yards under a
ressure of 1,000 pounds.
B. C. Bachelor, representative of
the Pneumatic Torpedo A Construc
tion Company, manipulated the
levers that placed the guns In posi
tion, and Lieutenant Lissack, ordi
nance department, stood on a trestle
nderan umbrella to direct the firing.
"Are you ready?" shouted Bache
lor to the man at the compressors.
"Heady," was the reply.
"All clear," said Lissack, observing
that the steamer Hunt Itosa was
heaving out of range.
"Load," was Bachelor's command,
and the shell, which had been
brought from the magazine on a
truck, was lifted into the breech ol
the gun.
"Wind her up."
The chains creaked as they turned
on the cylinders, anil tho shell
disappeared.
"Put In your pin."
The breach was closed.
"Heady," was the last word.
Bachelor caught hold of a lever,
threw Ids weight upon it, and the
gun answered with a shriek that end
ed with a hiss. The projectile leaped
from the muzzle with a howl that
mellowed into a wail, and hurtled
out into the fog and drizzle until it
was lost to the straining vision of the
siiectators. A splash and a dash of
foam on the bar indicated that the
shell had coded its flight, aud the
gunners made ready for another .shot.
As the thot left the gun icicles
hung frm the muzzle. There Is not
much heat in a volume of air that
has lat'ii compressed to 1,000 pounds.
It is estimated that with this pressure
the temperature is lowered 1,700
legrces.

A pretty story of a baby's influence
over women In a Russian jail ia told
in the Woman's Journal :
The iaiier was Colonel V- and he
and his wife bad Just arrived to take
charge of a large prkon In one of
the central provinces. The colonel
was a terrible disciplinarian, but
kind enough man In hUway. Ills
wife was a gentle little enthusiast,
who had mad up her mind to re
form all the women prisoners.
This particular Jail had a very bad
reputation, and the women especially
were often In mutiny. Colonel V.
got along famously with the men
but the women were too much for
him, and he meditated flogging anJ
all sorts of terrible measures.
Once Madam V. took a walk
through the prison yard when the
women were exercising. Behind
her walked a nurse with a baby.
The prisoners, as toon as they got
sight of the baby, flocked round, and
Madam V., at first fearing violence,
was relieved to see that only baby
worship was the matter. First oue
and then another of the women
begged to hold the child for a mo
ment, some laughing with Joy, and
many shed tears. . Madam V. had
happy thought, and she spoke it out :
The best-conducted woman of
you all at the end or the week will
be allowed to attend to the baby for
half an hour."
Never was a change so instantane
ously wrought. The women became
amenable to every word of the
wardens, and at the week's end it
was with the utmost difficulty that
Madam V. could decide, among so
many well-conducted prisoners, who
had the btst claim to the promised
reward. The baby's visits were af
terward frequent, and the women's
wards were completely reformed.
AX INTERVIEW WITH AN INTEL
LECTUAL VBOP OE WATER.
It was a cloudy evening, and, be-
fore deciding to go for a walk, I put
my hand out of the window to learn
if any rain was fulling. A drop fell
on my hand, with an exclamation
of disappointment I drew back and
took out my handkerchief to wipe
the drop away. Before I could do so
I was arrested by a little voice that
cried, in liquid tones:
"Please don't sop me up with that
old handkerchief." I stopped, aston
ished. It was the drop of water that
had spoken. "Your room is so
warm," continued the drop, "I can'l
fay long with you anyway; but I
think you might be friendly while 1
do stay."
"Why, certainly," I said, as I sat
down. "Excuse me if the remark Is
rather personal; but you seem to be a
very intelligent drop of water."
"Well," it replied, "I should be.
I have traveled around quite a bit;
and when I was imprisoned in the
Arctic ice-cap I had a chance to do a
lot of thinking. One can meditate a
great deal In several thousands of
years of enforced quiet, aud the cold
air keeps one's head remarkably
clear.
"If you were Imprisoned In the
ice-cap for thousands of years, how
did you finally escape?" I asked.
"I had long given up all hopes of
escaping, but about four years ago I
was broken from the little ridge of
ice of which I was a part by the
sledge of an explorer who was just
returning from a fruitless search for
the pole. As I Jumped in the air,
after being struck, I fell In a bundle
of furs he had about his feet. There
I remasned until he traveled several
hundreds of miles south, to where
his ship lay. 1 then fell on the deck,
and one sunny day I evaporated and
drifted about in the air. Happening
to rise to a great height, I traveled
southward for many days as vatsjr,
but finally, one cool evening, I fell as
lew on a little prairie flower. In
the morning the sun took me up into
the air for another day, and next
evening I fell as dew again; In short,
I spent the whole summer going
aliout from flower to flower. It was
an ideal life, after the long centuries
of quiet. But winter came presently,
and I fell from a cloud, of which I
was a mrt, as a snowflake. I thought
I was to be Imprisoned for another
long time, but a thaw came and,
with a myriad of other drops, I es
caped and flowed into Lake Superior.
From there 1 drifted through Lake
Huron, take St. Clair, take Erie and
the Niagara Falls. By the by, I rose
as spray there, and was part or a
rainiMjw till 1 fell back Into the
stream. Then I passed through
Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence
river into the Atlantic ocean, from
which I was at last rescued by cling
ing to the side of a fine codfish that
was being pulled out of the water by
a fisherman. Shortly afterward I
assisted in a fog that floated In over
the United States, and since then I
have led a roving life, being at differ
ent times vapor, dew, rain, hall and
snow."
"You must have had some strange
adventures," I remarked.
"Yes; I once helped to wash a boy's
face in Harlem and came near being
drunk up by a goat afterward, but
evatwration saved me. I worked in
a steam engine for a few hours once,
I never Imagined I was so strong un.
til then. The wr-.y I and a few fel.
lows made that railway train move
along was really remarkable. An
other time I was a drop of sap in a
maple tree In Vermont and was evap
orated oy the sugar-makers."
I suppose you feel very thankful
to that explorer who freed you?"
"Yes, Indeed! If those explorers
do no other good they bring a few of
us south every year and set us free.
As for the pole they are hunting for,
"A LITTLE
I could tell you all about It; but
your room is so warm I can't stay
any longer. I am slowly but surely
evaporating."
A moment afterward I was look
ing at the back of my band, which
was quite dry and woudering if the
drop of water had ever been there.
Since then I have many times wish
ed I had caught that remarkable
drop of water, which I might easily
have dono by holding a piece of
cool glass over it as it evaporated. I
could then have kept It iu a bottle
aud talked to it to my heart's
content.
And what wonders it might have
told me! , That drop of water was
as old as the world. It had seen
ihe dawn of creation, and will exist
as long as the earth; for it is part of
matter and cannot be destroyed. All
tho changes the world has goue
through it took its part in. Truly I
was careless to let It escape; for it
could have told me more about the
earth and its history than all the
professors of all the colleges.
Dog Stops a Dlvtves Case.
A 'touching Incident occurred re
cently in the Berlin divorce court.
Both parties appeared early on the
day the trial was to come off with
their lawyers. She arrived dressed
in mourning, tried to appear iudif-
ferent, but tears trickling dowu once
iu a while, which she quickly wiped
off with a lace handkerchief, proved
that the defendant on the other side
of the room was not quite forgotten.
He spoke witli his lawyer, who had
taken all steps he considered osible
to bring about their reconciliation
Now and then he threw imploring
glances upon the little woman, which
sli'i did not seem to notice at all.
With him was a little Skye terrier,
"Petit," who once was the declared
favorite of his wife'-; but now did
not receive any encouragement from
his former gracious mistress. Sadly
the small dog looked from one to the
other, and evidently could not un
derstand why these two people were
so estranged. By accident Ihe lady
dropped her handkerchief. Quick as
lightning tho little Skye terrier
iumjKHl at it, picked ..it up, and
brought it to his midresa, rising
upon his hind legs, which trick he
had leen taught by her, and glanced
up with a truly pitiful look to his
mistress. Sobbing loudly, she raised
up the dog and kls. :-d nlm, and as
her husband, making good use of the
opportunity, went up toward her,
she met l.lm half-way, and throwing
her arms around his neck sobbed
loudly on his breast and promised
him ' forgiveness. The divorce, of
course, was out of the qu"stion, and
he, she and both lawyers adjourned
to a near rrstaurant to celebrale the
reuuion brought about by the little
Skye terrier.
Massachusetts keeps Its health sta
tistics with much care, and the an
nual report for 1893, which has just
been Issued, presents many instruc
tive points. The Improved water
supply throughout the state is
steadily cutting down thi number of
typhoid fever cases. Though con
sumption is still tho most destructive
disease, its fatality has decreased
nearly one-half since 1853. Pneu
monia is now second, and it carries
otr almost 4S ninny persons as con
sumption. The figures of the mor
tality for the year are: Consumption,
5527; pneumonia, 6499; brain dis
eases, 6141; heart diseases, 8C90;
cholera infantum, 2704; old age, 1861;
bronchitis, 1738; kidney diseases,
1685; cancer, 1533; diphtheria end
croup, 1391. Ihe birth rate was
27.65 per 1000 and the death rate
20.13. The number of twins born
during the year was 1220, and there
were nine cases of triplets. Eighteen
centenarians died In 1894, and 447
other persons who were over the age
of 90, seventy-seven having passed
the age of 95. Of the whole number
who died at ages Is-yond 90 years,
152 were men nnd 313 women, a
striking proof tli.it in New England
women live to a greater age than
men.

A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW.
A corrosKndeiit writes from At
chisou. Kansas, this etor of that
somewhat popular bymu, "There's a
Light in the Window for Thee:"
Junge W. D. Webb, of tho Atchi
son county district court, relate a ro
mautic story about tho IIjv. E ivvard
Dunbar, who becauie famous as the
author of "There's u Light in the
Window for Thee, Brother," in
which several prominent eoplo play
a part
In 1867 Dunbar was arrested at
Leavenworth, Kan.-as, while engaged
in holding a series of revival meet
ings, and taken to Minneapolis,
Minn., where lie was tried for big.
amy, convicted and sent to the peni
tentiary for three years and eight
mouths. The compUiulng witness
was Miss Euuice Belle Lewis, a haud-
soineand accomplished young beiress
of Minneapolis, who had become con
verted at one of Dunbar's revivals in
that city. She fell in love with the
evangelist and married him against
the wishes of her friends. Shortly
after the wedding Dunbar left for a
preaching tour through Kansas.
"It wis then that the friends of tl e
bride, who had mistrusted the evan
gelist all along, decided to act," taid
Judge Webb, in telling the story.
'Al that time I was a law partner of
Judge Austin II. Young, of Minne
apolis. A delegation of the girl's
friends laid their suspicions before us,
and we took up the case. The result
was that we soon fouud evidence suf
ficient lu warrant an arrest, and Dui
bar's ministerial career was brought
to a sudden close.
"It developed in the trial ot the
c.ise tfiat Dunbar lived at New Bed
ford, Mass., when a boy, aud worked
lu a factory. His mother lived at
the foot of the street ou which the
f.ictory was located, and, as the lad's
work kept him away till alter dark,
she always placed a light iu the win
dow toguide his footsteps homeward.
Oue day the boy t'Mik a notion to go
to sea, and off he went for a three
years' cruise. During his absence his
mother fell ill and wns at death's
door. She talked incessantly about
her boy and every night asked those
around her to place a light in the
window, In anticipation of his return.
When she realized that the end had
come, she said: Tell Jul ward that
I will set a light in the window of
heaven for him.' Those were her
last words.
"The lad had grown to manhood
ere he returned home, and his
mother's dying message had such an
effect on him that he reformed and
became a preacher. In the course of
his reformation he wrote 'There's a
Light in tho window lor Thee,
Brother.'
"Uev. Edward Dunbar married a
young woman of New Bedford, aud
several children were the result of
the union. Tho young divine soon
made a reputation as a brilliant pul
pit orator and the public was, there
fore, greatly surprised when one
morning he skipped the country,
leaving his wife and children behind.
He swoojs'd down upon ihccilyof
MinncajKilis aud begun to show the
peoplo the error of their ways. A
great revival followed, and hundreds
were converted. Miss Lewis was
one of the numlter.
"Judge Young and I n.ssis'cd In
the prosecution of lumbar. After
the incarceration of the fallen evan
gelist, Judge Young obtain h! a di-
vorce for Mrs. Dunbar and a year'
later married -her himself. They ;
now live happily together at Mlnne-
aM)lis.
"Judge Lochren, the present com-
misioner of pensions, defended Dun
bar In the trial of the case.
"Dunbar went from a pri-on cell
to be a tramp and a vsgabond upon
the face of the earth. His first wife
jbtained a divorce and is still resid
ing with her children at New Bed
ford. Dunbar was a hook agent, or
something of that sort, at Denver in
1875. I have not heard of him
since."

border In case of hostilities, with the
odds in our favor, as to numbers, of
13 to 1. A glance at the map will
shw that the populated part of
Canada is nothing more than a fringe
along our boundary, vulnerable at
countless points, and quite indefen
'hie under the circumstances. The
best defenses of Canada are its friend
ly conduct and our own national dis
position not to meddle with weak
neighbors. Canada will not arm
againnt- us, because there is no reason
fir it, and she can not if she would.

The young Governor of South
Carolina said at Atlanta, "by the
help of God the South would
rule this country again as a part of
the Union." It is an old fashioned
custom to inject in this manner a
reference to the Deity Into stump
speeches, to give assertions additional
emphasis, and we supect this excit
able, untrained younv Governor
merely meant it In this way.. Yet it
I certainly would require the active In
! terfcrcnee of Providence to place this
country under Ihe administration of
such pretended statesmen as this
South Carolina Governor, and an
equal amount of divine energy to
give this political Idiot a gleam of
practical common sense.

There is a very pathetic little touch
in Mr. Sloan's last Century article on
Napoleon. "When William Pitl
heard of the battle of AusterliU," he
says, "he grew old within twenty
four hours, his features became pinch
ed aud blue, ami took on an expres
sion long kuow n as the 'Austerlitz
look.' To his niece he said: "Boll
up that map of Europe; it will not be
needed the ten years." Soon after
ward he was iu his grave, at the
early age of forty-seven."
