THIS DOLPHIN PILOTS SHIPS. New Zealand Legislature Passes Act to Protect "Pelorus Jack." "Pelorus Jack" is the name of an ojd dolphin which is protected by a special act of the New Zealand legis lature. According to an Australian colonist, George Hayes. the official proclama tion of the government prohibits any interference with Pelorus Jack under a penalty of ;100. Forty years ago. when Mr. Hayes first emigrated to Australia, he heard an old sailor's tale, according to which a shoal of dolphins grounded on the shores of Cook Strait, and one of them escaped into the sea. That cne, which ik now acknowledged to be Pelorus Jack, never left the locality where he lost his companions, and, as Mr. Hayes says, "he is now pro tected by law as he has always been by sentiment." The most remarkable fact of all is the reason for the passage of the law, which is that Pelorus Jack acts as a most effective pilot, escorting all kinds of vessels in and out of the French Pass. Cook Strait, always keeping to deep water. For years he was believed to be a beluga. or white whale. but recent scienti~c investigation has shown that he is really a dolphin. As he is nevei absent from his duties the prcclama tion has been received with keen sat isfaction throughout Australasia by sailors who have to use the Frencb Pass. Overworking a Typewriter. "When a typewriter has been oper ated for several hours at a stretch it becomes a centre of electrical phe nomena," remaked a stenographer. "Touch it with sometaing metallic and you will get a distinct shock. At the same time there will be a crack ing sound and a spark will appear at the point of contact. If another per son than the one who has been oper ating it ihouid begin to pound the keyboard after the machine has been in continuous use for a couple ot hours he will experience a real elec trical senrsaticn, the pins-and-needles feeling of a foot asleep. Drawing the sheet of paper off the roller rapidly will charge the paper and it will crackle when laid on other paper. it will also adhere to the other sheets or to any surface with which it comes in contact and ciuite a little tug is necessary to loosea it. A long-worked typewriter seems to become an elec trical plant on a small scale and will furnish all sorts of surprises."-St. Louis Post Dispatch. News About Nerves. Londion.

Y.--Sundgy in Grace Presbyterian Church, tie pastor. the Rev. Robert H. Carson. took for his subject -Paul the Preacher." His text -was Acts xxiv:25: "And as he reasoned of righteousn-ss. temperance and judgment to cone. Felix trembled i nd answered. Go thy way for thi time: when I have a convenient sea son I will call for thee." Mr. Carson This book of apostolic labors gives us a glimpse of Paul in many atti tudes. We have him pictured before his conversion and after, and whether we see him at his manual occupation of tent-inaking. or in Is frequent per ils by land and sea, or addressing cul tured audiences in splendid cities, or individuals in palaces or in prisons everywhere we see a man whom we instinctively know to be one of earth's choicest and noblest souls. Just now be is standing before a wicked king and his no less wicked wife, and there is that in his demeanor and his action which makes us proud of Christianity and its power. Too frequently weakness, with a false gentleness and charity. are con sidered the proper attendants of a Christian spirit. and ofttimes a Chris tian is slow of speech, or altogether silent in the presence of evil lest le should show a boldness unbecoming in one who proposes himself to be a fol lower of Him who was meek and low ly. But there is no warraut for any such conduct in the example of Christ, or in the teaching of His apostles. In deed. what strikes a reader most in this book of apostolic acts is the bold ness of spirit which the first preachers of the gospel exhibited. We see Peter standing in the pre.zeice of his own enemies as well as in the presence of the enemies of the Christ. and boldly accusing them of the murder of the Lord. And what said Christ Himself: 'I came not to send peace on earth. but a sword." He was Christianity's founder. and what He was, so should His followers be. The Christian is to speak the truth in love. but in the pres ence of evil he must never be silent through fear. nor mince his words to suit men's ears, nor pander to their likings. nor dread their criticism. Apostolic boldness. then, is the first point that we would note in the words I which we have chosen as our text. I Paul is in the presence of a man who is master of his life. He speaks to a ruler whose word is law. whose nod is enough to seal his doom, and yet he speaks so as to make that monarch tremble. Ali. friends, a man who knows his cause to be right can al ways afford to be courageous and bold. Truth at all times is wondrous fearless and dreads no sacrifice, whether of ease or fame or even of life itself, if only God be honored and righteous ness crowned. Look bick on that sa cred line of fearless witnesses for God I and see how strongly this element of courage predominated. Of such was Moses in the presence of Pharaoh, of such was Nathan in the presence of David, of such was Elijah before Ahab. of such was JTohn the Baptist before Herod, of such were the apos tles and martyrs and glorious company of the reformers. Luther would go to the Diet of Worms and vindicate his faith. tl'ough as many devils hindered him as tnere were slates on the house tops of Erfurt. When they laid JTohn Knot. theo man who made Scotland. in his grzave they said: "There lies one wvho never feared the face of man." And thi~s fearlessness, this cour-'ge, need~ not be confined to the leaders alone. The humblest Christian iy share. anid should :iiare, in t~tis pr ious heritage. To this line of chosen couls-the very chivalry of the sains heliong every man and woman who, like~ Nehiemaiah. dai'es to say: "So willre I. beeause of the fear' of the Lord: wio is willing in obedience to the diidates of an enlightened conscience to brave public opinion and even Jhle loss of friendship !n standing by what they conid~(er right. Such are the salt of the Earth. Such is the leaven that is yet going to leaven the whole mass. Such arc' the men whoim God and man can trust, and such.m en are the hope of the world. Herein, indeed, is the holdness of Chiri.stianity seen. and. thank God, in all-the ages of Christen donm and in all ,the ranks of life meni and womeni with their fearless cour age have been; found.

Paul knew his man. and he suited his sermon to his audi ence. I am not sure that that serinon. would escape criticism in these days. I am of the opinion that many good souls would say it was not evangeli cal. He was invitcd to preach con cerning the faith in Christ, and his sermon was on righteousness. temper ance and judgnent to come-topies that any good man of any faith might well discuss. Many might say, is that Christian preaching? I say it is. and more than that, it is the kind that this age needs. and we need it every day. If Paul had begun an argument re specting Christ's divinity. or resurrec tion, or any kindred topic. lie would probably have had a most interesting discussion with Felix. but think you that he would have made him tremble? Most men think that Christianity is theology. No: Christianity is moraility in the light of eternity. And that is not the best preaching which delights us with its close reasoning and high speculation and profound theology: that is the best preaching which inakos us. if we are living in sin, turn uneasily in our seats and tremble as we listen to its truths. The law is our school master to bring us to Christ. and it is only when conscience is aroused. withia. us t&9t we seek the grace which is in Christ and which came by Christ. The end of preaching is not to make men theologians, the end of preaching is to build up character. and while some of us im..y be far enough on the road to hear sermons on the deep things of God. '1 am not pessimistic when I say that, taking the world in its totality. most of us are still where we need to be reasoned with concerning righteous ness, temperance and judgment to come. "Preaching to the times" is a favor ite expression nowadays. Its purpose seems to be that men are to be amused, as Felix had Paul in from the prison to amuse him. He and he alone preaches to the times who makes us restless by showing us the demands of God's eternal law and then points the way clear up to Calvary and to Him who said "Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." Thc-se are eternal veri ties and they fit all times. All others change and pass away with the ('hang ing hour; social. political. :tye. even theological questions have their days and cease to be. but the eternal need is forgiveness and the everlastilg want. rest for the soul. And so Paul reasoned of righteaus ness to a man living in sin, of temper anice to a woman who lived to gratify every desire and wicked passion. and of judgment to come to two who never looked beyond the present world-the first steps. the first necessary steps to the pointing out of Him in whom alone is forgiveness and from whom alone we have the power to live so that at His coining in glorious majesty to judge the world we may not be put to shame. And now, in the last place. we notice that this preaching was aonvincing. That is clear enough. fo' a man does not tremble without occasion. A man does not tremble in the presence of spiritual truth except his intellect has been reached and his conscience touched. Paul did his duty. but Felix shirked his and turned his back upon the truth. lie trembled. but lie did not move. Are there not many men like him with us to-day? "Go thy i way." said he. "when I have a conve nient season I will send for thee." Is not that what we often lhear. But when 'do those who say so find that that convenient season ever comes? What do we think of the man who in matters of this world, is given to put ting off and waiting to another time? Our worldly wisdom tells us that such a man will never come to any good and nio one has any coniidence in him. You see through him, and smile' rt al his excuses for delay, and thiink you that if a man cannot deceive his fel ow's in this respect lhe can deceive God andi hi ow.n soul? Thle Bible knows (of no time but now. "Now is the accepted time." And this is true not only of the greatest of all tr'ansactions-our ac ceptance of Jesus Christ-but of all the duties that devolv'e uphon us as Chris tian men~1 antd w~omen. We may have t-(ay an opportunity of doing good. or of receiving good., If we let it slIp that door that ope'ned to us will he shut. and it will never be opened again. Losi oppotunities do not return. Others may come. but the lost enes come not again. Let us. then. seize every oppor tunity, let us realize that the present only is ours, and as we hear the waor'd of Iitfe let us embrace it in its fulness and live in its strength.

Chron. xxxill., 1-13-Golden Text, Prov. xiv., 34-Memory Verses, 10-13 -Commentary on the Day's Lesson. I Nfanasseh's excessive ido!atries (vs. 1-9). 1. "Manasseb." The thir teeath King of Judah (not counting Athiallah, the usurper), son of Heze kIah and Hephzibah, who was tradt tio ially the daughter of Isaiah. "T welve years old." He was born three years after Hezekiah was mirac ulously restored to health. He reigned longer than any other King of Judah or Israel. 2. "Did-evil." He fol lowed all the abominable practices of the nations of Canaan, but his sin was greater than theirs because he had lig:it and knew about the true God. 3. "Bialim." The plural form for Baal. "Made grooves." "fade Asheroth." R. V. Asheroth is one of the plural forms of Ashrab, a heathen goddess. Baal was a male and Asherah a female divinity. An Asherah was probably a wooden pole which was planted be side an altar as a symbol of a deity. "Host of heaven." The sun, moon and stars. 4. "Altars in the house." He placed the heathen altars even in the temple. "Shall my name be." See chapter 7: 16. 5. "In the two courts." Professor Lumby thinks this verse 'explains the preceding verse, and that the idola trous altars were erected in th' courts of the temple and not in the holy place. 6. "Through the fire." There is rea son to believe that in certain circum stmnces the children offered to Moloch were actually burnt to death, or were first slain and then burnt. See Psa. 1N: 38; Jer. 7: 31; 2 Kings 17: 31. "Valley-of Hinnom." This was a ra rine on the south and west of Jerusa lem. the southeast extremity of which had the name of Tophet. "Observed tires." See R. V. "Practiced divina tion by the clouds." "Enchantments." He used incantations and charms. "Fa miliar spirit." See 1 Sam. 2S: S. He had in his service those who pretended to raise the spirits. "Wizards." Wise or knowing ones who claimed to reveal sevrets. '%any of these impostors came f:-am Chaldea to pursue their occupa tions and practice their deceptions. and Manasseh was their liberal patron. "Much evil." The heathen rites and ceremonies which Manasseh observed were often of the foulest character. 7. "Set-image." The setting up the Ash erah within the sacred precincts is dweit upon as the most aggravated outraae of this wicked king. S. "Neither will I." etc. God had prom ised that this land should be theirs forever (2 Sam. 7: 10). "If only" (R. V.i All of God's promises are condi ticnal. This condition was expressed at the very first. Had they obeyed Ga they would never have gone intc eativity. but would still have been in. possession of the promised land. 9. "'Io do worse." Through the perni cicus influence of Manasseh they werc led into worse forms of sin than were evn practiced by the original Canaan itfs. Tradition says that under Man asseh Isaiah was sawn asunder. I. Manasseh's punishment (vs. 10. 1li. 10. "The Lord spake." We car in agine the bitter grief and iburning inignation of those who lo'ed the God of Israel. And they were not si lent. Ini 2 Kings 21: 10-15 we see un nimed prophets denouncing the apos tasy and threatening judgment in most: striking language. :3. "King of Assyria." Assyria was at that time under Esarhaddon. " .mong the thorns." "In chains." R. V. The sharp. thornlike nook by~ v di prisoners were caught and held liie fish. ""'etters." Probably mann ees for to hands and fetters 'or the fe?t. "To Babylon." With this even': Tr dalh wa added to the Assyrian Em. pi 'e. :Ui. Manasseh's repentance (v. -12). '.. "Besought the Lord." In the soli tude of exile and imprisonment MIan assehi had leisure for reflection. The clamities forced on him a review of his past life, convincing him that the minseries of his dethronement and cap tiity were owing to his awful and un precedented apostasy from the God of his fathers. "Humbled himself great l." Afflictions are our best friends: we' should never from upon them. In their midst we see our nothingness. IV. Mfanasseh's restoration (v. 131. :. "He was entrea ted." It is impos sile that any sinner who desires to forsak'e sin and turn to God will be re fused mercy, after the record of par don from God to~ a man like 3Manassel-. Des this not expkrin why Manasse:1 was permitted to live the life he did? Would the Bible be the book it is if sin were not personified by such charac ters. andl grace personified in Jesus Christ to meet their need? "Heard." Though affliction drives us to God He will not therefore rejiect us if we sir eerely s:eek Him, for afflictions are sent to bring us to Him. "Brought him-to Jerusalem." When Manasseh is brought . back to God and his duty he shall soon be brought back to his kingdom. See how readily God is to accept and wel come returning sinners, and how swil t to show mercy. Let not great sinners despair when Mfanassehi himself, on re pentance, found favor with God: in him God showed forth long suffering (1 Tim. 1: 16: Isa. 1: 18). "Manasseb. knew-God." No precepts of his fath er no teaching of priests and Llevites; no act of ceremonial circumcision ncr engaging in forms of religion: no list ning to sermons nor reading the Sriptures brought him this knowl edge. He had to be brought to a posi tion where nothing but the'almighty lv~wer of God could deliver him. We will bless God througn all eternity for the dlays of trouble that lead us to oey (P'sa. 50: 15). But how much bet ter it is to obey ait on1ce, thus making such afflictions unneceessary. Asking Advice.

AIDS NATURES WORK EFFECT OF ACETYLENE RAYS ON GROWTH OF PLANTS. Grow to Twice Actual Weight of Those Exposed to Sunlicht Only - Latest Victory For This New and Beautiful Illum inaut. The experiments recently made at Cornell University prove that the beau tiful rays from the gas, acetylene. are as effective as sunlight on tho growth of plants,. and this may soon b)ecoine a subject for serious consideration by all progressive cultivators nf the soil. The results of the experiments ,:re astonishing, inasmuch as they show conclusively the great inerense of growth attained by supplementing "The Light of Nature" with "The Light of Acerylene" during the hours in wheIh The plants would otherwise be in darkness. For instance, a certain number of radish plants subjected to acetylene light during the night grew to twice the actual weight of the same number of radishes given daylight only. all other conditions being equal, and peas had blossomed and partially ma tured pods with the help of acetylene light, while without the added light. not even buds were apparent. Acetylene is already taking its place as an illuminant for towns from a cen tral plant, forlightinghouses, churches, schools and isolated buildings of 1ll kinds, and it is being used successfully for many other purposes. A striking and important feature of acetylerie is the ease and small expense with which it can be made available compared with the great advantages derived from its use. The machine in which the gas is generated is easily in stalled. Shoemakers Once Were Well Paid. Thirty years ago, when all shoes were made by hand, the shoemaker earned a fair salary of from $12 to $16 per week. Every shoe shop had from five to ten shoemakers working. Shoes and boots cost from.$8 to $15, and they received much more repair ing than do the shoes of to-day. Now girls are working in the factories and hundreds of good shoemakers are look Ing for something to eat. Over half of the shoemakers who formerly worked in the shops are working at other lines of business, and making more money. A journeyman cobbler seldom makes more than $8 or $9 per week. One may wonder why it is that the cobbler nearly always finds a mean, dirty hole to crawl into and to call it a repair shop. The fact is, he can not afford to pay much rent. In the average shoe shop in the good seasons -spring and summer-he can do $4 worth of repairing a day, and not more than $6 if he works in the.night time. Four dollars per day and six days a week make $24 per week. DISF'GURING . ULCER People Looked at Her in Amazemeut-. 'ronounced Incurable-Face Now Clear'e as Ever-Thanks God For Cuticura. Mrs. P.
