Muyme of these facts are of such nature that. they are to be accepted or rejectâ€" ed .along with His teachings. Mamy of theee lessons are well nigh meaningâ€" that they spr out of some miracle Hc»wrouqh:’ o:ngecd of benevolence He performed. If all that Jesus claimed for. Himself is true there is no reason for.rejecting any account of what He did or endured. Even those who sought to . entrap Him came back and reported "Never man spake like this man." Why then .shall we not expect Him to do as never man did? His lips were not more divine than His hands. Let it be grantâ€" ed that His words are more important than His miracles since His words are to make . a universal .prl that His mirâ€" acles, cannot. Still the credibility of a xecosd..is not dependent upon the rela tive importance of the thing recorded. Those who have found it in their hearts to discredit Christ‘s miracles, have found it easy also to raise the question wheth ed or not Jesus said the things attribut ed to. Him in the Gospels.

This they succeeded in doing in a quarter of a mile or so, and then the engineer backed the forward section, coupled on to the rear secâ€" tion and proceedéd to Corning, the end of the diviston. The conductor who was to take the train over the ngc division discovered in lookâ€" tog over hf@train that he had a way bill for a car which was not among those deâ€" lvered to him. ‘The other conductor was cerâ€" tain that he had the car when he started for Corning, and showéd its number checked off in his report. Nw solution of the mystery came for a long time. Then some boys came across the, missâ€" tw car at the bottom of a ravine below the :rvo on which the freight train had broken two. It was supposéd that when the rear section of the broken train started to round the curvo this car had jumped the rails, broken the coupling bolding it to the car behind, mnd cleared twenty or thirty feet down the bank before striking the ground which, at this point was covered with underbrush, and that this underbrush, after the car had rolled past, had n‘hu*\ itself and given indication of having been disturbed. Almost the same kind of accident happenâ€" «d on the New Haven road some years ago, when two freight cars jumped from the rails and rolled down & bank from the front end of a barted train, and their loss was not disâ€" covered until the new conductor at the next division point took an inventory of the cars. But in this instance the truant cars were located in a few hours, being in full view. _ | An odd accident took place on the Jersey Central road that was full of possibilities in _ the way of a wreck.

Instead of climbing the tle _ and jumping the rails, the wheels of the tenâ€" _ GSer sank deep into the wood, ceased to reâ€" volve and slid the tie along the rails in front _ of them. It was afterward calculated that the crossâ€" tie was pushed along in this.manmer for fully five miles before the engineer found out the state of affairs, and even then he only learnâ€" «4 that something was wrong by emelling the smoke from the crosstle which began to burn from the friction. . ‘Engineer Dellert, of the New Haven hbad ‘amother pgeculMar thing happen him while heuling a freight train into New Have» one might over the Air Lime Division, which was single tracked.

Washington.â€"There is one item of Our A&â€" tional expense account which is as astonishâ€" ing as the growth which is responsible for it 1t is the amount that Uncle Sam pays AuDUAILY 1M NMWC ‘The government is like a boy who outgrows his clothes so . fast that his trousers are half way to his knees, his sleeves only to his elbows, his neck towering above his colâ€" lar. Every department of the national Govâ€" ernment has outgrown the bujldings provided for its housing. This year the estimates included $370,â€" 12.06 for rent. The figures increase from year to year. Bofere very long Uncle Sam will be paying & cool half million dollars anâ€" nually for rented buildings in Washington alone, not counting the rents which must be paid all over the country. ‘The State Department is the only one of the nine great branches of the Administraâ€" tion which seems to have enough room for its actual work. It has only a singlo rent item; $120 a year for stables. As practically all the departments have a corresponding item it remains for some Conâ€" greseman, looking for novelty, to propose & bill for erecting a general stable.

For this and other outâ€" sido quarters it pays a rental of $24,500 this year. ‘The Department of the Interior has to pay the highest rent, amounting to $62,440. This is accounted for by the fact that the Civil Service Commission has to be housed ;by this department. So have the Bureau of Education, the Patent Office with its thousands of models and its millions of documents, the Land Office and . several other big Government enterprises. ‘The Post Office Department pays $50,â€" 148.96 this year for rent in Washington alone. Of course, its remt roll for the whole counâ€" try is a very different and wery much more @mposing figure. t rna L The Department of Agriculture pays $50,â€" 148.96 in Washington rent, though this figâ€" urs will be greatly reduced when its huge white marble building is completed. ‘The Agricultural Department has boiled so hard for the past few years that it has run over into a dozen outside bureaus, cach as busy and full as a beehive. _ ‘The Department of Commerce and Labor has no building of its own. Its rent bill is $53,499 this year. The Bureau of the Census alonc occupies acres of space. ‘The Department of Justice has to have buildings for the storage of records and othâ€" er documents, so that it costs the Governâ€" men| $26,400 in rent. Besides these nine departments Uncle Sam has to pay $16,800 rent for the Interstate Commerce Commission and $40,638.90 for buildings rented for the administration of District of Columbia affcirs. ‘This makes the very respectable toral of $270,000 fer the preâ€" sent year. a The Government owns some land suitable for public buildings, and for years Congress his been urged by the department to put up some of the most needed structures.

A Japanese doctor never thinks of asking a poor patient for a fee. . There is a proverb among the medical fraterâ€" nity of Japan: "When the twin eneâ€" mies, poverty and disease, invade . a home, then he who takes ought from that home, even though it be given him, is a robber." g "Often." says Dr. Matsumoto, "a doeâ€" tor will not only give his time and his medicine freely to the sufferer, but he will also give him money to tide him. over his dire necessities, Every physiâ€". cian has his own dispensqry, and there are \'erivvhlew chemists‘ shorl in the emâ€" pire. When a rich man calls in a physiâ€" cian he does not expect to be presented with a bill for medical services. In fact, me such thing as a doctor‘s bill is known in Japan, although nearly all the other modern apliances are in vogue there. The doctor never asks for his fee. The strict honesty of the people makes this unnecessary. When he has finished with a patient, a present is made to him of whatever sum the patient or his friends may deem to be just compensation. The doctor is su to smile. take his fee, bow, and thank his patron."

At last he yieclded to despair, and, hay fing for some days saved up all he could | earn, he devoted it to the purchase of a | single dose of laudanum sufficient to | end his troubles. With this he retired at 'n.ight to his haust, the rubbish plot in Covent Garden Market. Then by his own narrative the following incident occurâ€" red: He had already taken half the fatal draught when he felt a hand upon his arm and looking up saw one whom he recognized as Chatterton forbidding him to drink the rest, and at the same inâ€" stant memory came to him of how, afâ€" ter that poet‘s suicide, a letter had been delivered at his lodgings which, if he had waited another day, would have | brought him the relief needed.
