A Meek CALL AES LIP RD ILL I LAPP DS I pe EL SAS Dt de 1 NOTES AND COMMENTS | At last one physician rises to pro- test against the present propaganda of longevity, the discussion of the means of attaining the age of four score, or even four score and ten. A long life, he reminds us, is not necessarily a happy one, and there is point in the old preference for a th short life and a merry one. Our friend, the lone dissenter, has made a Pickwickian discovery. No one is carrying on a propagan- da of longevity for the sake of long- eyity. Health, peace, contentment, serenity are implied in the gospel of longevity nowadays. We no Yonger talk of a "merry"' life, be- cause words, . like institutions, change and decay. The "merry life'? has connotations that we mod- erns frown on. Our age really stands for plain living and high thinking, for moderation, love of nature, philosophy and good hu- mor. There is hardly an exemplar or preacher of longevity who does not emphasize the necessity of physical and mental habits that make for quiet happiness throughout the range and procession of years. And this, indeed, is the best feature of the propaganda of longevity. The best rules do not necessarily insure a long life, since humanity is ex- posed to accident, to little known disease, to unforeseen calamity. But the rules now so often set forth by young old men -are invariably conducive to healthy, worthy, cheerful existence, They forbid no- thing save that which destroys body, mind, temper and human dig- nity. an Having rejected three of the ma- jor bills of the Asquith government, the majority in the House of Lords seems to have concluded that it would be poor policy to reject the fourth and last bill of the "major" series--called the Scottish temper- ance bill. A compromise has been reached, the government accepting amendments suggested by the lords and the latter swallowing their ob- jections to certain features of the bill or to certain omissions, In a@ nutshell, the bill provides that in each local unit in Scotland the electors be given the opportun- ity to decide whether they wish to abolish all licenses and have strict prohibition, or to reduce the exist- ing licenses by 25 per cent., or to retain the present number. Pro- hibition cannot, however, be enfore- ed in any locality unless 55 per cent. of those voting--and not less than 35 per cent. of the total electorate in any event--vote for it. : What the lords insisted on at first was a fourth option--the sub- stitution of disinterested manage- ment for private ownership and profit in the liquor trade. This feature they haye dropped.» It was unacceptable to the government be- cause the option might divide the temperance vote. The passage of the bill is assured, and the temper- ance advocates consider it a step forward, even though they fear not many places will give the requisite majority for prohibition. es) Ginger Snaps, The most heavily burdened should have the right of way.

Little White Ear ran to his mo- er. "What shall I do?' he squeaked. 'A big Human Being is lying across our door--on the other side! Tm afraid to go out." wo "Stay in, then," answered his mother. She was a mouse of few words. 'The Human Being will move soon. They never rest long." "But there's some ¢heese near by,' urged White Ear. "I want it!" "«<CGheese |'? said Mouse Mother, alarmed. "Then it's a trap. Don't go near it!" "How tiresome!" exclaimed Fa- ther Mouse, who had just come along. "We want cheese badly enough."' White Ear crept back-to the hole. There she lay, the strange big thing who was so quiet. - He could see her white frock and her golden hair, with the blue bow over one eye. He could see one small foot, with its openwork sock, and black, shiny slipper. What he could not see was any sign of her getting up and walking away. Father Mouse came, too, and looked. : Now it happened that their stores below were ia: the piece of cheese beside the quiet figure was exactly what they wanted. Nothing but Mother Mouse's warnings kept Fa- ther Mouse from making a dash for it. 'T should get back before she had time to moye," he urged. But Mo- ther Mouse shook her head. They all had a short nibble at a piece of bacon rind, which was the only thing that was left in the larder, and then they all went to bed. ; Bright and early the next morn- ing, White Ear was at the hole. There lay the Human Being. No- thing about her was changed at all. The bow had not moyed an_ inch. She could not have turned her head! "She sleeps soundly," ob- served Mother Mouse. "The cheese is there," replied Father Mouse. But his wife shook her head. By and by some neighborly mice came along. They listened to the news; they peeped through the hole ; they discussed the stillness of the sleeping Human Being, and the size and flavor of the cheese. But they all agreed that it would be foolish to try to get it. You never know when a Human Being will moye, or what it will do. The visitors, who had called in hope of being asked to breakfast, went away disappointed. White Ear had to be contented with a smell, and his father and mother did not even take that, White Ear was very hungry. A smell is nice for the time being, but it does not last long. He returned to the hole. Very still was Human Being ; very large looked the cheese. At last, White Ear could bear it no longer. He squeezed through the hole, and made a bold dash for the cheese. At the very moment he started, his father and mother saw him, and Mother Mouse snatched at his tail--but she was too late. White Ear grasped the cheese, pushed it towards the hole, and through it; then he got safely through himself--and turned to look at the danger he had passed. Human Being was just as quiet as before, and her blue bow did not even flutter. Now that he was safe back with the cheese, Mother Mouse had not the heart to scold him. Father Mouse gave him a sly pat with his tail. They ate some of his booty, and put the rest away for supper. As soon as White Ear had had, not enough, but all that they would let him eat of the cheese, he rush- ed back to the hole. And then he saw a strange sight! 'Human Being began to move-- but in such a funny way! She slow- ly, slowly passed out of his sight, without sitting up, or even crawl- ing! She was being dragged away. White Ear had to put his sharp nose and long whiskers through the hole, just to see how she managed it. And then he understood it all. '"'Mother!" he cried, as he ran back to Mrs. Mouse. "What do you suppose? She was a Human Being, bat--she was that always quiet kind they .call a doll!"-- Youth's Companion. Sis HER PRIZE GOES BEGGING. Woman Leaves $20,000 in Will for Planet Research. A prize which will perhaps never be awarded is among those offered by the French Academy of Sciences for the encouragement of research. Twenty thousand dollars lie in the coffers of the academy and will be paid to the first astronomer who puts the earth in communication with any planet of the solar system other than Mars, This curious prize was instituted by a woman named Guzman, who died in 1899, and left the money for founding it in her will. The reason why Mme. Guzman excepted the planet Mars is not explained. She may have thought this task too easy of accomplishment to be rewarded with $20,000.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDY INTERNATIONAL LESSON, AUGUST 31. Lesson XI.--Israel at Mount Sinai. Exod. Chap. 19. Golden Text Heb. 12.28. : The narrative intervening be- tween our last lesson and this one includes a number of important events. At Rephidim the people murmured against Moses because of lack of water, which, after Moses's earnest intercession with Jehovah, was miraculously sup- plied. Then came Israel's war with Amalek, familiar to Bible readers principally because of the incident on the mountain top in which Aaron and Hur supported the hands of Moses while he prayed for Israel's victory. Not long afterward, Jeth- ro, the priest of Midian, Moses's father-in-law, visited the camp of Israel in the wilderness, giving Moses wise counsel concerning the way in which he might best admin- ister the important affairs of his difficult office (chapter 18). Our lesson passage takes up the thread of the story immediately following the departure of Jethro. Verse 1. In the third month-- According to Exod. 12. 1, 2, the de- parture of Israel from Egypt was commemorated by. the inaugura- tion of a new calendar: "This month shall be unto you the begin- ning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you."' But the first month of the Jewish calen- dar corresponded approximately to our month of April, which would fix the time of the year for the events of our lesson as midsummer. The same day--Three months to a day after their departure out of Egypt. Wilderness of Sinai--The unhab- ited district in the immediate vicin- ity of the mountain. Sinai itself is usually identified with Horeb, and located near the southern point of the peninsula between the Gulfs of Suez and Akabah. Rephidim--Somewhere in the vi- cinity of Sinai, perhaps just north- west of the mountain itself. 3. Moses went up unto God-- Went up the mountain to be alone in meditation and prayer. The house of Jacob--Jacob's de- scendants, the Israelites. 4, Bare you on eagles' wings--A beautiful figure illustrating solici- tude of Jehovah for his people. The habits of the parent eagle were not unfamiliar to the desert pilgrims. This king of birds is said to hover round and beneath its young when these make their first attempts to fly, ever ready to support them on expanded wing when they become exhausted. Brought you unto myself--Sepa- rated you from other peoples wor- shipping other gods. 5, 6. My covenant--From. this to Jehovah is to be covenant relationship. Israel be- comes Jehovah's own possession, a kingdom of priests and a holy na- tion. "And strangers shall stand and feed your flecks, and foreign- ers shall be your plowmen and vine-dressers. But ye shall be nam- ed the priests of Jehovah" (Isa. 61. 5, 6). Verses 7 to 15 inclusive record the preparations made by Moses and the people for the further manifestation of Jehovah's will to- ward them, in harmony with Jeho- vah's announcement to Moses. 16. The voice of a trumpet ex- ceéding loud--Jehovah's summons to the people discernible between the peals of thunder. 17. Out of the camp--And nearer to the mount. 18, Smoked . , . quaked -- The whole manifestation was awe-in- spiring and overpowering in its ef- fact upon the minds of the people. The language throughout is that of the early prophetic narrative, abounding in expressions in which the actions of Jehovah are brought within the range of human compre- hension. 21. Break through unto Jehovah --Approach too near the sacred mountain. To gaze--Merely for the purpose of satisfying their curiosity. 2] Virtues of Vegetables. Lettuce has a soothing effect on the nerves and is excellent for suf- ferers from insomnia. Tomatoes are good for a torpid liver, but should be avoided by gouty people. Celery and onions are nerve ton- ics. Spinach has great aperient quali- ties and is better than medicine for constipation. Beets are fattening and are good for people who want to put on flesh. So are potatoes: Parsnips possess the tues as sarsaparilla. ' Asparagus stimulates the kidneys, Bananas are beneficial to suffer- ers from chest complaints. ois. Only Joking. Johnny was rather apprehensive- ly awaiting his father's return from business. He had a curioue little feeling that more would be heard about the broken panes of glass in old Grime's glasshouses. "Take off your coat, my son, and come along with me!' said pa, after he had rested from dinner. "You're not going to give me a hiding, are you, pa?' inquired young hopeful, with a nervous gulp. "Didn't I tell you this morning that I would settle with you for your bad behavior when I came home ?" queried father.

The stress gives rise to a great many disagreeable or painful symp- toms that do not at all threaten life, but often greatly alarm the appre- hensive sufferer from them. Persons who are thus affected live | about | their hearts, They palpitate atthe. in a constant state of fear least excitement, like hysterical girls; they acquire the pernicious | habit of living with a finger on their | own pulses, and believe the small- est twinge of pain to be due to an angina. At last they betake themselves to some wise old physician who has seen many such cases. He makes a grave examination, laughs them out of their fears, and dismisses them healed. When genuine nervous heart trouble arises in youth, it is usual- ly in consequence of too much ath- letics, or of overindulgence in some direction; especially, perhaps, in tobacco. When the fault is dis- covered and corrected, the heart recovers its normal tone, and works | without balking for a lifetime. The irritable or nervous heart of | not obtain our milk from an animal middle age is generally of more honorable history. The rush of modern life sets too hard a pace; the worker cuts down his vacations or omits them altogether, and never takes quite enough sleep. So the heart, although essentially sound, becomes permanently tired, just as the hand of a sufferer from writer's cramp is permanently tired. It shows its fatigue by extreme irritability. It palpitates briskly without warning, and for no appar- ent reason; it works too rapidly at one time, and too slowly at an- other; it suffers from vague and fleeting pains, and it often misses or seems to miss a beat. Its owner is never able to lose consciousness of. it. It is easy to tell what such a} heart needs, much easier than it is! to get it--rest! This subject is im-| portant enough to be considered in another article---Youth's Com- panion. Children's Sleep. Much information as to the health of a child may be gained by care- ful watching of its attitude, moye-j ments, and expression during sleep. The child who sleeps best with the mouth wide open and the head thrown back is most likely suffering from enlarged tonsils, which im-| pede its breathing; if it can only, sleep when the bedclothes have all} been kicked off rickets should be watched for, while lung or heart af-! fections are shown at an early stage' by the tendency to sleep high up on| the pillow, so that the head and} shoulders are raised. In cases of pain in any part the head will be found to be carried to the affected spot during sleep, so that breath-, ing, headache, or earache may be) diagnosed, while a curious sign of irritation in the stomach or bowels is the constant rubbing of the nose. | Restless sleep, broken and uneasy, | is a common symptom of the onset! of serious illness, but any extreme, torpor and drowsiness should also | be expected, as these frequently: precede feverish ailments, such as. scarlatina 'and measles. Conyul-| sive attacks are nearly always pre- | ceded by the tight clasping of the} hands, with the thumbs folded in-| to the palms, and the stiffening or curling up of the toes. ™® Policeman--"Do you have to take care of the dog?'

Butt of Our Jokes One of the Most Useful of Animals. Somewhere the legend exists that the goat was created by the devil, which, perhaps, is justified by the animal's pernicious activities and his fondness for things not enjoyed by any other living creature. In ancient times the honor of being sacrificed to Bacchus was conferred upon it, and in' modern times the goat, no matter how venerable, is honored, when presented on the dining table, by being given the name of one of the most docile ani- mals known. From time immemor- ial has the animal been used as the butt for jokes in comic papers, and there have been few who have shown a willingness to espouse the cause of this really useful but ma- linged member of the animal king- dom. At last a champion has been found, one who comes forth boldly, with- out fear of criticism, and tells of the unsuspected value of the goat and proclaims that the animal is more satisfactory and profitable as a milk producer than a cow. A physician of Buffalo, with the ap- propriate name of Dr. W. Sheldon Bull, roused by the base insinua- tions and injustice done the "poor man's cow," says that instead of having our cows tested for tuber- culosis or worrying ourselves to death for fear our dairyman, de- spite his solemn oath, has not made the tests he should have made, why that could not have tuberculosis if it tried. He calls the goat "the only dairy animal immune to tuber- culosis.'"? He believes the virtues of goat milk and the ease of ob- taining it are too little known in this country, and he is applying himself to the-task of filling this need long existent, but apparently not sufficiently felt. Anybody can keep a goat, Dr. Bull tells us, and everybody ought to. From a hygienic point of view it is argued that the owners of these hardy little creatures may enjoy greater advantages than does fhe possessor of a pampered, pedigreed It is well known that goat's milk is richer, more nutritious and more easily digested than cow's milk, and as a diet for children and inya- lids it is stated by the most emin- ent physicians to be unsurpassed, --_tr____.. The Largest Chrysanthemum. There seems to be almost no limit to the size of fruit and flowers that plant-breeders can produce. They have doubled or trebled the size of some of the common vegetables and many of the flowers that fill the florists' shops, but in no cése, per- haps, have they accomplished more remarkable results than in that of the chrysanthemum. By removing all the flower-buds except the ter- minal, they have produced the large globular heads with which we are all familiar. According to Horti- culture, a French amateur has re- cently succeeded in winning a prize for the largest chrysanthemum, with a flower that measured more than sixty-four inches in cireumfer- ence. That is many times the size of the original flower-head. What will happen when the same methods are applied to tomatoes, cherries, and other fruits and vegetables? a How to Remove Speck From Eye. The quickest and safest way of removing a particle from the eye is described by Hugh Wrigley, of Philadelphia, in a letter to Popular Mechanics. He says that when working at an emery wheel a speo of steel flew into his eye, where- upon a fellow workman felt along the lapels of his coat until he found a protruding horsehair. This he pulled forth and formed it into a loop by folding it double. The eye- lid was turned back over a pencil ;! the speck of steel was found and re- moved by drawing the loop of horse- | hair over it. This is painless and cannot injure the most sensitive eye. ig eee" Wasp stings are best treated by ai | press it--some of the noblest of the FOR A REVIVAL OF HATRED Of Lies, of Shams, of Deceits, of Corruptions, of | -. Wickednesses, of Iniquities Hate the evil_--_mos y., 15. It is doubtful if in this mild tem- pered age religion has any room for that splendid capacity for hat- red which was so conspicuous a part of the religion of an older and a'fiercer day. No longer do we read with satisfaction the impreca- tory passages which mar--as we ex- Psalms, and few of us there are who would pledge ourselves, as did our fathers with a whole hearted en- thusiasm, to '"'hate them, O God, that hate thee"--to "hate them with a perfect hatred." Gentleness, kindness, faith, meekness, temper- ance, peace, toleration, good' will, love--these are the watchwords of present day religion, and any at- tempt to revive the bigotries and rigors which were characteristic of former days certainly would be re- garded as a reversion to an out- grown and outworn barbarism. That all of this development away from hatred and into love is in gen- eral beneficent I have no doubt. "Peace on the Earth" is certainly destined to be the crowning achievement of religion, and he cannot be regarded as 2 friend of his kind who would lift so much as his little finger to stay the universal reign of "good will among men. And yet [ question if we have yet reached the point where the spirit of hate can wholly be dis- pensed with in this present life. To me at least it is something of a re- lief, as I flounder about in '"'the mush of concession" in which I find myself immersed in these days to return now and then to the blood and iron of former times when men hated as passionately as they loy- ed. Why should we not hate now, as they did then, all vice and crime and sin? Why should we not still hate war and poverty and disease ? Why should we not still hate "with a perfect hatred" everything that is meant in our text by the fearful word "eyil'?? Where is there a man, from Moses condemning the Pharaoh to Wesley denotnecing slavery as "the sum of all villains; ies," whose hatred of evil has nop, been as. magnificent as 'his love of. gocd? Where has there been a, single movement for the uplift and emancipation of mankind, from th¢ battle of the Israelites against the Philistines to the struggle of Unit-]_ ed Italy against the invaders of its -- soil, which was not dominated quite" as much by hate as by good will And when did our modern world bez ' come go entirely rid of all its moral | : plagues and social abominations as to need no more the purging power of hostile passion ? es Hatred and Love - are more nearly related than we sometimes think in this easy-going age. It is doubtful if any man can_ really love 'the true, the beautiful and the good who does not at the. same time hate 'with a perfect hat-|-- red"' the false, the ugly and the bad. William Watson is right when 2 he says in his great poem on Ro-- bert Burns :-- ; "To him the powers that formed him brave, : Yet weak to breast the fatal wave,' The mighty gift of Hatred gave-- A gift above All other gifts benefic, save The gift of Love." I venture to lift my voice, there- fore, in this age of honeyed ease, ° for a revival of hatred. Not a hat- red of persons or classes or nations or races! Never a hatred directed at any individual or group of im-j -- dividuals! But a hatred that shall! purge like a fire--cleanse like f flood--break up the hardened crust of vested wrong and hoary injustice like an earthquake! There is need for a hatred of this kind to-day, ex- actly as there was in the days of Amos, that the crooked may be, made straight and the rough places plain--that the way of the Lord may | speedily be prepared, and the aO- | ceptable year of the Lord forthwith roclaimed !--Rey. John Haynes 'olmes. ' \ d HOW PLANTS LURE INSECTS, Eat Living Things Almost as Thor- oughly As Do Animals. Among the strangest of all na- ture's products are the insect-eat- ing, or carnivorous, plants. They actually catch, eat, and digest vari- ous insects by a process practically as-thorough as that of the animals. The so-called Venus "fly-trap" or "vegetable butcher," is one of the most remarkable of these. It grows in a wild state in the forests of North Carolina, where it creeps along the ground, presenting thous- ands of gaping mouths, into which the unsuspecting fly or insect is lur- ed and imprisoned. The leaves of this plant consist of two valves, shaped like clam shells, which, when closed, form a trap. The ends of the leaves are baited with a sweet juice which attracts the insect. The leaves are covered with minute hairs, which corres- pond very closely to the arrange- ments of the nervous system in ani- mals. On the edge of the leaves are rows of long, tine teeth. When the unsuspecting insect has been lured to the leaf by the at- tractive juice he steps upon one of the microscopic. hairs, and, pres- to!the two valves shut with a snap, keeping Mr. Fly secure. Still more curious are certain plants in Borneo which distill liquors for the purpose of luring their victims. Many of these are miniature grog shops. In their leaves are little pitchers, which are filled with hard alcoholic liquors. Bach of the pitchers has a tight-fit- ting cover which keeps the dew and rain from diluting the liquor. No scientists have yet succeeded in an- alyzing the liquors with any satis- factory results, but it is evident that they are of different kinds, since different species of the plants attract different insects. The most wonderful of all these liquor-distilling plants are those which attract slugs and frogs. Those attracting slugs have ridges on the leaves that guide the guest to the taproom, deep down in the flower. The doors, however, swing inward, and there is no retracing of the steps. Rows of little teeth on the interior of the leaves remove all possibility of escape. In the plants that catch frogs there is a sharp thorn near the pit- cher on which the frog is impaled and thus held fast. The most unique of all the pro- ductions of nature is the plant pop- ularly known as the 'goose plant.' It is a native of Guatemala, and re- celyes its name from the bud, which has the shape of a goose floating along the water with its neck proudly arched. The flower is very beautiful, but repulsive. It has an odor resembling that of decayed meat. The plant is a carrier plant, and attracts the carrion fly, which is the agent of fertilization, mn Ro Oh, Woman, Thou Art Vain!
