It is quite possible, however, that other events not here recorded may have intervened. The abrupt manner in which the story of Christ's conver- sation with the lawyer is introduc- ed suggests that the whole passage is a record of a separate incident | introduged into the narrative a this point for the sake of conveni- ence. The same apparent inde- pendence of successive incidents of Luke's narrative will be still more evident as we proceed in our stud- 'ies of future lessons. Verse 25. Jesus and his followers were on their way to Jerusalem by a circuitous route, stopping in many places to teach and to preach.. In one of these places where a company had , doubtless gathered to hear Jssus, a lawyer, that is, a scribe' who interpreted the law, made trial of him, or ques- 'tioned him, in order to test his ability as a teacher. What shall I do to inherit--The tense implies that the lawyer had in mind the performance of some one great deed or perhaps the mak- ing of some noble sacrifice, (Comi- pare Mark 10. 17.) © Eternal life--Literally, the life of the ages. The expression "eter- nal life" was familiar to the Jews before Christ came, as is shown in the apocryphal book of Enoch (15. 4-6). But the lawyer, like the rich young man who asked Jesus the same question, had an erroneous view of eternal life and its rela- tion to this life, Jesus and his fol-| lowers referred to it as a spiritual condition, the divine life in the soul. (See Acts 16. 30; 1 John 5. n, 18.) 26. What is written in the law t-- Note the skill with which Jesus so frequently calls upon a questioner to give answer to his own ques- tions, How readest thou!--The words, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, were taken from Deut. 8, 5 and were written on the phylacteries, that is, $he vellum slips worn by Jews on their foreheads and wrists. Deut. 6. 7, 8 commanded that they should be repeated mornings and evenings. he heart, soul strength, and mind with which God is to be loved cover man's physical, intellectual, and moral powers. 27.

A RECORD OF WASTE. Explorer Grenfell Writes of Labra- dor's Lost Opportunities. The fish, flesh and fowl of Labra- dor, writes Dr. Grenfell in the Wide World, have been exploited to the last degree, and no scientific or practical effort has been made for their protection or rehabilitation. Our auks, curlew, ducks and many other birds have become either ex- tinet 'or dangerously depleted. Our deer, owing to forest fires caused by carelessness or unrestricted slaughter by Indians, as well as white settlers, have so far diminish- ed as to bring semi-starvation to doors where once there was always plenty. The destruction of geal herds has brought families once af- fluent to miserable poverty. For some reason our unrivalled herring and mackerel have left us alto- gether. The salmon catch is only a shadow of what it once was, and even the returns of our still vala- able cod fishery show increasing uncertainty in quantity and distri- bution. The growing number of trappers, the lack of protection, or the destruction of their food sup- lies, has made the annual winter ur-hunt insufficient to maintain in comfort all who prosecute it, and that in spite of the immense in- crease in the price of pelts. Seals and whales are rapidly approaching a similar fate. No mines are yet opened ; no tim- ber properties yet developed; and no use is made of our unlimited wa- ter-power. Only a handful of visit- ors come to enjoy the wild scenery, the unique natural conditions, and the invigorating atmosphere, though our fjords rival those of Norway, and have the additional attraction of being virgin and un- explored. No charting has been done, and at that time, as already stated, there was not one light on the-coast from the Straits of Belle swer himself. Who is my neighbor !--This was an important question to the ex- clusive Jew. - 30. The parable which follows is! given to answer the lawyer's last question. It does not imply that eternal life, about which the law- yer asked first, could be obtained through good works. Going down from Jerusalem to Jericho. -- The distance is; about twenty miles. The road to ericho leads down through a mountain pass, on both sides of which are caves. Even Joday these are the haunts of robbers. - ; Robbers, who stripped him and beat him--Perhaps the traveler was so severely beaten because he re- sisted having his garments taken. 31, 82.

Adopt Chinese Trade Marks. A Manchester firm of traders with the Far East hae juet appropriated a number of designe which were placed in the con- trol of the Associated Chambere of Com- vite by Mr. Gardiner, ex-British Consul at Shanghai, with the object of register them. as trade marks. r. Gardiner, as tho reeult of a long study of Chinese customs and beliefs, made a collection of abont 400 designs which, when found on certain classes of foods, were regarded by the Chinese as "lucky," as the horeeshoe, for instance, is thought lucky in England, . He sent these to the Board of Trade ten yearé ago with the suggestion that Brit- ish manufacturers might use the designs without charge except such as was in- volved in Teprodudiion and- registration. The Board of Trade placed the whole of the designs in the hande of the Aseocia- tion of Chambers of Commerce, and now more than two-thirds of them have beea appropriated, a very large proportion of them having been used as cotton trade marks.

Even now the Germang find it hard to believe that any Jeteon of taste can eat rabbit.

Funeral Plumes to Co. The end of a long tradition has been roached by the passing of the plume ae part of the ritual of mourning. Acting on a recommendation of the al Hu. ty to Animals, the majority of London undertakers have agreed to discontinue the use of plumes on horees, Bome of the more elaborate plumes weighed as much ae ten pounds, in addt: tion to which horses at a "grand" funeral are sometimes hampered by black velvet trappings and postilions. London, and partioularly the poorer parts, has for years been the home of gorgeous funer- als, at which mutes, plumes and big mani. featations of mourning were considered in- dispensable to an adequate tribute of re- spect. Italy's Rulers at Windsor. It present arrangements hold good there will be another royal visitor to Windsor shortly in the person of the King of Italy, who, it is expected, will be accompanied by Queen Elena. Their visit will be of an entirely private character and will extend about a week. It is understood that an agrecment has now been arrived at between this coun- try and Austria with regard to the re epective naval strengths of the two coun. tries to be maintained in the Mediterra- nean, and naturally this ie a subject of very considerable importance to Italy. No date has yet been aesigned for this visit, but toward the end of January, ore the opening of the London season, re- garded as the most suitable time for this by those about the court.

With eggs the precious things their present high prices make them fit is important for every housewife to know a simple and accurate method of testing their freshness. - There is no better Indication of an egg than its density, eggs that float being a bad investment. All you need to test Regs that are under suspicion is a glass of water, into which you drop them one by one, while you watch closely how they behave. A fresh egg will sink when placed in water and rest on its side; if three weeks old it will incline slightly with the small end down; if three months old it will stand on the small end, and if older it will float, with the large ond out of water more or less according to its ago. 2 A device embodying this principle hi ope It consists outside of the stem of which is a rule. placed on a wire holder ottom of the instrument and ter.

Cooperage Is Thriving Trade In Hol land. Cooperage is a recognized Dutch ! industry, turning out immense quan- | titles by machinery, says a consular report. Most of the trades and in- dustries using casks and barrels (such as the herring fisheries and the brew. eries) are in South Holland, hence the manufactories of those articlés are mainly centred in that province. The principal cooperage works are at Rot. terdam (six employing about 1,200 men), Schiedam (five, employing 900 men), Vlaardingen (86, employing about 650 men) Maasiuls (11, em ploying about 140 men), Amsterdam, Katwyk, Dordrecht, Leyden, Gemert, Oasterhout, Oss, Eysden, Zwolle and i Meppel. As a number of articles that formerly were packed in barrels are jnow being packed in boxes, the mak- ing of packing cases is often added to, that of barrels. The packing case industry, however, is a distinct branch for the manu- facture of boxes used for butter, magarin, fruit, gin, cigars, etc. These factories are very numerous. At Pot- terdam there are elght, with 1,300 laborers, and others are found at! Amsterdam, Gulemburg, Deift, Hind-| hoven, Goor, Grouda, Harlingen, Hen- gelo, Hillegom, Hoorn, Koog-on-Zaan, Oosthulzen, Schiedam, Stratum, Utrecht, Vliaardingen, Voorst, Weesp, Ysselmuiden and Zsandam. Thelr products are exported to every port of the world. Wooden shoes are made almost en- tirely by band and thelr manufacture may classed as a rural industry. Therp are only a few factories whera ithe wooden shoes are turned out by machinery, namely, at Apeldorn, Hoogezand, Alphen-on-Rhine, Oud, Benerland, Moordrecht, Dlepenveen and Mill, The other workshops are - scattered all over the country, mostly in North Brabant where poplars and willows, growing on the banks of the brooks and small streams, supply the material needed foF this business. - There are in Holland at least 250 of these workshops, employing about 800 men. Holland ftgelf uses up part of the machine-made wooden shoes, the remainder and the greater part of the Hacking ade goods being ex- a! { ported to any, North America and the colonies. : Ree Empty Compliments "You just ought to hear ¢ thin 71 ny int ¥ in England for more 'than 100 years, ~ Aluminum foil for wrapping pur- of an tion of ing a voyage around the world tor
