' One of the most striking phenomena of the general convention," according to the Living Church (P. E.) of Chicago. "war. the progressiveness of the House of Bishops. The Bishops of to-day are Very unlike those of a generation ago. The old-fashioned Bishops seemed to think that they had a divine mission to smother all enthusiasm as promptly and effectively as possible. Modern Bishops, with few exceptions, are lead ers in enthusiasm and prophets of hopefulness. They are inclined to lead more rapidly than the church can al ways follow. They are frankly impa tient of the hampering control of a rock-rooted and moss-backed conserv atism. How can we account for the change? It may be said that younger men are now chosen to wear the miter than formerly. Very true, and the fact has its influence to some extent. But j we believe that the true explanation is to be found in the vastly deeper real ization of the responsibilty of the epis copate for the government and ad ministration of the church, which pre vails among the Bishops of our time. | Their minds are occupied not so much with the great dignity of their sacred office as with its overwhelming re sponsibility of the growth and develop ment of the church. They must perforce be the leaders. They must be the hard- : est workers in the church, as indeed they are. And so they are most in con- j tact with the people, and know that i TJ.shops are called of God to rule the ! church, not to be overruled by it; to ; lead and continually to drag the church back; to make ventures of faith, not to j v,aste time in dubious deliberation; in! short, to be men of foresight as well as of oversight." "The attitude of the Episcopal ChuEph, as indicated in the convention in Minneapolis, gives little encourage ment to hope for any advance toward church unity," says the Boston Con gregationalist. "It practically de clares that not only the Lambeth plat fcrm—the Bible, the Apostles' and >*icene Creeds, the two sacraments and the historic episcopate—must be ac- i ctpted, but also the Prayer Book from j cover to cover. The mild expression of fraternal recognition of the Methodist ' Church was welcomed by many as a j sign of more liberal sentiments, but the j eilence of the convention in reply to j the long pending overture of the Pres byterian General Assembly is one of | many evidences that the Lambeth platform would be no more acceptable ; to the Episcopal Church in this country j than it would be to other denomina t'ons. It is no more likely that the ! Episcopal Church will recognize ' byterian orders than Congregational , Bishops. Its only episcopate is that of I Roman Catholic and Anglican j Churches, and we predict that, till bodies unite, there will be j ganic union of Episcopal and other Piotestant Churches."

A conspicuous illustration of this tendency is furnished by the Christian Endeavor Society. Its union of young people of many denominations :s practically based on the proposals made by the National Council. Its members engage in common work for tiieir fellow-men in Christ's name and without want of loyalty to their own denominations or friction because of their different views, without strife for precedence or office, labor together in love, and generate an enthusiasm as wonderful as it is new. Were it not for the efforts of denominational leaders to create divisions in this great body, a vital union of the young people of all evangelical denominations would be speedily accomplished." "It is to be borne in mind by the Bible student," says the New York Outlook, "that there is another point of view than that of literature, and that the last word has not been said respecting the origin, authorship and historicity of the Bible until the archaeologist has been heard. Dr. A. H. Sayce, in an article in the Contemporary Review, points out some objections, furnished by arch aeological discoveries, to these conclu sions of biblical criticism. His article would be more valuable if it were not for a certain polemical and, in so far. unscientific spirit; but this is a vice which he shares to a certain extent with many who have approached the subject from the literary or critical point of view. He tells us that the use of writ ing for literary purposes is immensely i old, both in Egypt and Babylonia; that j before the Exodus people were reading, writing and corresponding with one another from the banks of the Euphrates to those of the Nile; that, 'in fam, Canaan in the Mosaic age, like the | countries which surrounded it, was fully as literary as was Europe in the time of the Renaissance.' As faithful chroniclers of current discussion, it suf fices for us here to point out to the im partial student, who will desire only to ascertain the truth, that the conclu j sions of the new criticism cannot be | taken for granted as demonstrated; ! that, before a final conclusion is reached I on the subject, the church has to hear j not only the testimony elucidated by i past explorations in the East, but also ! that of explorations yet to be made. | Meantime, he may comfort himself with the reflection that his obedience to the moral law does not depend upon the question whether we have the Ten Commandments in the form in which Moses wrote them, nor his Christian grace upon the question whether the Pentateuch was written by one author In 1400 B. C. or edited out of a groat variety of pre-existing material in 450 r>. c." Speaking of the Curates' Union in England, the New York Churchman (P. E.) says: "No doubt many of the evils which the Curates" Union is formed to meet are in a large measure remediable. Church reform is at present in the air, and church reform may well begin where the platform of the Curates' Union demands it, namely, in the mat j tor of church patronage. We feel that i the much-aggrieved curates are very | moderate in asking that in addition to a reformed system of church patronage, | the 'dead line' for incumbents may be i drawn at 60 or 65. Aft< r reaching this age, rectors and vicars must be retired, i But so long as in any church the ma j'iity of the clergy are required to be .■;."» if they would be invited to a i curacy, or, as is averred in some quar b re, under 50, if they can maintain | their position as incumbent of a parish in America, we fear that legislative re ft .in on either side of the water, to be of any good effect, must be preceded by a change in public opinion. The vi car is supposed to choose young cura-tes because he covets the advantage of age in ruling them, or makes demands on their efforts and enthusiasm which only the young can meet. Mr. Thackeray complains that incumbents often im pose conditions on those they s^rk to en pace as curates which they do not Impose on themselves. There seems no 1 <•• ssary injustice in this. A young man may be selected for a particular in a parish, and must have par ticular qualifications.

"We have claimed that there is a good of liberty exercised by the Roman Critholic laity independent of its clergy. This ought to be a matter of gratitude," says the Christian Register (Unit.) of loston, "and probably is among pro gressive Catholics. Our Roman Cath olic contemporary, the Sacred Heart Review, however, makes it a subject of complaint. It protests against what it calls the danger of compromise. 'Look for instance,' it says, 'at the large num ber of Catholic students at Harvard, at Yale, at Brown University, and other Protestant institutions. They are counted by scores, while Catholic institutions are deprived of the benefit of their presence. Even the Protes tant Chautauqua, we are told, has had to provide accommodations for the Catholics who go there.' The Review thinks this indicates that Catholic par ents are sadly lacking in loyalty and devotion to their principles.' But there is another view to take of it, and that is that many Catholics find that such institutions as those named are conducted in no sectarian spirit, that they can attend them without having their religion interfered with, and that they can study history and science with much more freedom than when under the bias of sectarian instruc tion, whether Protestant or Catholic" THE OWNER OF THE PHILOMELA. [Written for the Record-Union by Beselena.] PART I. Two men sat beside a blazing camp fire which cast strange shadows on the surrounding scenery. The silence of the night was unbroken, save by the roar and crackle of the flames as they leaped heavenward, sending forth sparks which hovered in the air for a moment ere they vanished in the curl ing smoke. One of the men was a young, tall and powerfully built fellow, with a dark strong face; when he spoke his voice was deep, full and resonant. The other was his senior by many years. The hand of time had dealt heavily with him, furrowing his face and changing his hair and beard to a snowy hue. They were sitting in silence, each busy with his own thoughts. The flickering, uncertain light of the fire played a wild, mad game of hide and seek on the white tents of the miners nestled in a ghostly semi-circle under the shelter of a group of firs. The boys had long since turned in, tired out after a long and exciting day's work; the fate of the Philomela had that day been settled beyond the shad ow of a doubt. A paying lead had been struck and there had been great re joicing in consequence. To-night the young man who sat by the campfire found himself rich. Ah. what magic is contained in that one little word; how much he could do with that vast hoard of yellow gold which was his, all his; every gleaming, yellow particle belonged to him alone. He could not realize yet the magnitude of the good fortune which had suddenly come upon him. So while the rest of his companions slept, he sat out here try ing to comprehend it all. He had asßed the old white-bearded man to bear him company, somehow he dreaded being He felt the need of human com panionship. Presently he shifted his position uneasily, and glanced furtively at his silent, motionless companion. The Btillness of the starry night and the solitude of the surroundings had sud denly aroused a great craving within him to unbo-.om himself. There comes a time ii. the lives of all men when this craving for sympathy ties almost unendurable. it takes only force of circumstances and environments to develop it. This man had been toiling for months with one fixed purpose in view; he had labored faithfully night and day to the accom plishment of that object, and now suc cess was his. He tasted of it? first fruits and felt the consequent relaxation. ■Would you like to hear a story?" he asks abruptly. His companion nodded, threw a fresh log of wood on the al r< ady Mazing fire, lit his pipe and leaned back to listen. Without further parley the other began. "I suppose it is the excitement of the da:.- that has made me feel like this, but somehow when I think of all that big pile of rock down there being mine, it sort of makes me feel queer all over. I have made other fortunes before and lost them, but I didn't care much about them then; there was only myself to look out for, but now you see it is different. I don't know what I'd do if I'd awake up to-morrow morning and find this all a dream." He had been rambling on as though to himself, for getful of his companion, who had sat half-way in the shadow puffing con tentedly at his short, black pipe. After a little the young man continued: "You see, things are different now, and it is all on account of a woman." He made the confesion as though it were the most natural thing in the world. "You boys wondered a great deal when I named the mine the Philomela. I didn't tell you then, but I will tell you now that I named it after her. I think I loved her from the very first. She is my ideal of perfect womanhood. And this little girl was kind to a great rough overgrown fellow like me." He paused and the old man waited. "Well," he said at last, "there isn't much more to tell. I hadn't seen any women, real nice ladies, you know," he explained hurriedly, "for several years. You see, I had been knocking about the country, in and out of mining camps and other such places, and I had almost forgotten how to talk to a lady. Why," h« continued, while an involuntary laugh escaped him, "I felt for all the world like a great hulking, awkward schoolboy in her presence. I had a sort of notion I ought to attend to my own hat, and how I wished my arms were on somebody else's body, but she didn't sc-om to notice my embarrassment, and after the first visit I found myself go ing there every day, and sometimes two and three times a day, kind V drawn there, you know, by some sort of an invisible power. She used to sing for me. too; she didn't have much of a voice, but it was sweet and clear, and when she would be singing those love songs of hers I just longed to clasp her in my arms and tell her how dear she W3S to me. But what would a tender, delicate little flower like her want with a great rough hobo like me?" "Did she love you?" asks the old man, between meditative puffs. "Love me!" cried the younger, "why, man alive, you must be crazy! What could she see to love in me?" The other shook his grizzled head. •Women are queer creatures," he said, sententiously. "You never can tell who they will fix their hearts on. Now, if I were you, I.d go down and see this little girl to-morrow. I'd tell her my feelings, and I'd see what she would say." "Hut suppose she refuses me?" "She will not be likely to refuse the owner of the Philomela," replies the old man with a short laugh, as he rose and shook the ashes from his pipe. The young man gives voice to an indignant protest, which the old man heeds not. as he goes off to his own little white tent. The owner of the Philomela piles more logs on the fire, and sits there the rest of the night. By the next day's pony express there goes a letter to his little sweetheart in the city. PART 11. A pair of anxious eyes peering through the window at the postman as he makes his way up the street. "Will he atop here?" is the question sho has been asking herself all morning. How aggravatingly slow he is. He is stopping at the house on the corner now; ah, he comes this way at last. No. he has gone across the street. The girl at the window stamps her tiny slippered font in vexation, but her ey* follow the postman's every movement. Now hf re- S the street: he walks slowly: he is taking something from his heavy bag; he runs lightly up the front steps. but the girl at the window is too quick for him. She is at the door and holding it open before he has made half the as cent. As her eyes fall upon the well known chirography a faint blush suf fuses her cheek. "A letter from him," she murmers, then runs quickly to her own room, locks the door and sits on the edge of the bed to read. It is not a very long letter. The owner of the Philomela is not much given to letter-writing, but, judging from the eager way in which the pages are scanned, it is absorbingly interesting. It begins by telling her of the success of the Philomela, and then says he will be in the city in a few days. "Oh I am so glad," she cries involun tarily. . And then she does what any true-hearted, loving woman would do under the same conditions—she presses the letter to her lips, and then, blushing at her own boldness, hides it in her bosom. "So he is coming back to civiliza tion; back to civilization and to me. I wonder why he said that —to me? What could he have meant by it? Surely I am not the only woman in the city." Then a sudden thought comes over her and she buries her head in the pil low. After a little she raises it slowly, cautiously, almost as though someone were watching and looks around. "How foolish I am," she says pres ently, "and yet in spite of the fact that he has never spoken a word of love to me—never even so much as paid me a compliment—I feel sure that he loves me, and I—Oh, I love him, too, very dearly," and here the curly head is again buried in the protecting pillow, ft remains hidden a great deal longer this time, but at last reappears. "It is stiange I should think so much of him, when there are many others on whom I could bestow my poor little heart, but somehow he was so big and strong that I could not help clinging to him. I sup pose it's the love of extremes in our nature that drew him to me, and, oh, dear," here just the faintest suspicion of a perplexed frown appeared upon her brow, only to as quickly disappear. "Well, anyway, I know what's the mat ter with him," says Philomela pres ently, with many wise nods and shakes of her head. "He has made the mistake of idolizing me, making me out to be a sort of un winged angel, when I am not. I am only human, after all. Oh, why can't he know that and not go on elevating me on a pedestal and worshiping from afar? He is rich now, too. and that means, 1 suppose, that he will travel. I reckon he will go back to his old home, and maybe he will find someone there who isn't quite so ideal, and he will marry her. perhaps. Of course, I hope he will be very happy, and all that, but I don't believe any other girl can love him as well as I do." Here Philomela indulges herself in that essentially feminine luxury—a good cry—after which she feels better. "Anyway, he must have thought a great deal of me or he wouldn't have named his mine after me," thinks Phil omela as she wipes her streaming ty>-s with her diminutive handkerchief, and this is the only bit of consolation she is able to get. The days slip slowly by after this to the anxiously waiting girl: each hour bi ■ ms speeding on leaden wings, bu-t at last there came a day. a happy, never to-be-forgotten day, when the owner of the Philomela comes back to his little Bweetheart. He has fully made up his mind to put hi? fate to the test and end this uncertainty. Yet when he stamls in her presence the sense of his great un worthinePP again comes over him and he stands before her Bpeechless; he can not utter the words ho has come all the long weary miles to say. Philomela is just the same, a little thinner perhaps, and a wistful look has found an abiding place In her big blue eyes. A? he notes these changes with an eye sharpened by love, he wonders vaguely If he is the cause, and the n- xt moment calls himself a presump tuous idiot. After awhile she sings for him. The name sous she sang before he had gone into the mountains when the fate of the Philomela was yet an uncertainty, and as the sweet, low voice rises and falls, obeying one of those s-:idd^n impulses he arises and kiss<s her. She does not scream nor shrink away, and seeing this he gains fre h courage. He pours into her ear the story of his love, and when he asks htr to be his wife. Philomela sobs out h^r reply nnon his manly brt-ast. A few weeks later the owner of the Philomela marries the maiden of his choice. COMMERCIAL. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22d.

PATRIOTIC BLOOD. YOUR BLOOD IS RED, WHITE AND BLUE. Tbe Three Colors in Your Blood, and What the Kidneys Have to Do With Them—Healthy and Unhealthy 8100d —Sickness Caused by Blood That Has Not Been Filtered. How It Can Be Cured by Curing the Kidneys. You have three colors in your blood. The red comes first. It is the beet blood. The clear, rich red blood that flows through your arteries from your heart, ali over your body, is what keeps you alive. It gives food, heat, strength to your body. It is your kidneys which make it so pure and red. Your white blood is not too healthy. It runs through the same blood \ as your red Mood. You net 1 a little ot it, but too much will make you sick. Pale, sickly, bloodless complexion, An aemia, loss of weight, lark <>:' energy and ambition, all these are caused I much white, which means too little red. blood. When this happens it is because your kidneys are filtering out the red blood and leaving the white when they should be doing the opposite. The blue blood is generally su] ; to belong t<> the aristocracy, and per haps it does, for ir certainly is "i I The blue blood vessels you see through your skin are veins. The blood In them is of a dark blue-red color, it contains all the effete and worn-out matter it has been able to collect. It is on its way to your kidneys to be purified. Your kidneys will filter your blue blood and make it red and clean. It would not be patriotic not to have this done. You would soon have noth ing but white and blue Mood. It would not be healthy, either. If your blood were not properly fil tered, your blue blood would carry poi son to all parts of your body, and you would soon begin to suffer from all sorts of diseases. ■So that it is good policy to keep your kidneys beali by. Dr. Hobb's Sparagus Kidney Pills will do it. Bright "a Disease, Congestion of the Kidneys, Nephritis, Pain in the Back. Sleeplessness, and all other kidney trouble.- can be immediately relieved. and finally certainly cured with Dr. Hobb's Sparagus Kidney Pills. Rheumatism. Gout, Pains and Aches In the joints.

Dizziness, etc., and all cfther blood diseases, can be relieved and cured by Dr. Hobb's Spara- Kidney Pills. If the kidneys are to filter your blood, they must be kept well. There is noth ing to make them well that does it so well as Dr. Hobb's Sparagus Xi Pills. But all the medicine in the world can not keep them w-Ml if you give them too much t< i do.
