Heavy Cost of Unpaid Postage. One of the most curious contesis ever before the public was conducted y many thousand persons under the offer of the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., of Battle Creek. Mich., for prizes of 31 boxes of gold and 300 greenbacks to those making the most words outI of the letters Y-1-O-Grape-Nuts. The contest -was started in Febru ary, 1&06,. and It was arranged to h ave the prit~es awarded on Apr. 30, 1906. When the public announcement appeared many persons began to form the words from these letters, sometimes the whole family being occupied evenings, a combination of amusement and education. After a while :he lists began to come ini to the Postum Office, and be fore long the volume grew until it required wagons to carry the mail. Many of the contestants were thc'gatless enough to send their lists with -insufficient postage and for a period it cost the Company from \ twenty-five to lifty-cight and sixty dollars a day to pay the unpaid post age. weoung ladis, nrall thse ho and count the correct words. WVeb ster-s Dictionary vwas the standard, and each list was very carefully cor rected, except those which fell below 8000, for it soon bez~me clear that liothing below that could win. Som e of the lists 'required the work of a young lady for a solid week on each individual list. The work was done very carefully and accurately, but the Company had no idea, at the time the ofr was made, that the people would respon~d so generally, and they were cemnelled :o fill every available space in the oft- s with these young lady e::amniners, ad notwithstanding hey worked ste:>Mily, it was impossi le to complese the examination until t. 29, over :six months after the a- should have been awarded. his delay caused a great many iries and 1::aturally created some satisfaction. ft has been thought st to mnake this report in practi liy all of the newspapers in the nited States and many of the mnaga nes in order to make clear to the ele the conditions of the contest. Many- lists contained enormous numbers of words which, under the rules, had to be eliminated. "Peg ger" would count, "Peggers" would not. Some lists eontained over 50, 000 words, the great majority of Swhich were cut out. The largest lists were checked over two and in son --ases three times to insure ac curacy. 'The $100.00 gold prize was won by L. D. Reese. 1227-15th St., Denver, Colo.. with 9941 correct words. The hig'est $10.00 gold prize went to S. K. Fr.aser. Lincoln. Pa., with 9921 correct words. A complete list of the 331 winners with their home addresses will be sent to any contestant enquiring on a postal card. Be sure and give name and address clearly.

A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BD DR. JAMES W. LEE. Subject: Hrow We Know God. Brooklyn, N. Y.-For a month the Rev. Dr. James W. Lee, rastor of Trinity M. E. Church, South Atlanta, Ga, acted as pastor of three Brook lyn churche!s, Bethany Dutch Re formed, Simpson M. E. and Central Baptist. These churches united their congregations into one, and invited Dr. Lee to serve them. The sermon last Sunday was at Simpson Chnrch. The subiect was "Ho-.: to Know God," and the text Hosea vi:3: "Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord." Dr. Lee said: For a: I our knowledge we are in debted to three forms of montal ac tivity wli(b are known as intuition, reflectior. and recollection, or to use different forms for the same thines, we can call them percontion, bv means o' which we recognize sinele things; concention. by which we do duce general frrins from single things: and recollection, hv which we recall nrevious percentions and recollections. Tha. is, the human mind can know the natural world. the human world and the sniritual world, hv the activity of the intuitive, coneeptive and recollectivr- nowers. From intuitions man generalizes eon 2eptions or ideas of gr-eater comnro bensiveness. and he can call hek ;>ast nerc(ntIons and conpcntions :hrough his powers of recolleftion. Man has three great intelletinal en lowments- he can perepive, he can !onceive, he can remember. Our tiunitions. our percentions, may be divided into three c1a--. We have intuitions of the wo-l'd: these are sense percontions: we have Intuitions of ours-lves; tbosa are ;elf-perentions: and we have int-i tions of the sniritnal world; these tre religious pereqntions. It must be understood, however, that we can have no cognitions or perceptions of either nature, man or God, unlss nature, man and God come bef-re the mind. In every nor cetion Ihere must be a percaiver. something perceived. an i an act of perception. No world can he sen, unless ti-ere is a world before the mind; no man can be seen unloQs there is -. man before the mind. No man can crepte nerceptions eithor of nature. man or God. ont of nothing. For all h percentions of natnre, man or Cod. he is shut up to the oh jects which produce them. Te co"11' no more have religious narcentions without (od than he could have sofn perceptiois without man, or sonso perceptiois without a world. Snirit ual intuitions are as indubitahla evi dences of the presen-e of God. as sense intuitions are of the nreaonee of the material world, or as self-in tuitions are of the nresence of man. If religious intuitions do not imnnly God, as sense-Dercentions imnly na ture, and self-cognitions imniv man, then civiiration is an unsubstan+41 0 -nam. When a person obieetifies himself into some one else and comes at length to beli'eve himself a ruler of a nation when every one of his friends k-aows he is only .Tohn Smith, a .iury is called to pass on his sanity. (f a man continues to talk into one end of a telenhone and to get an swers back when there is no one at the other end of it, a .iury is called to inquire into the state of his mind. Now, if for thousands of years the human race has been perceiving God in nature, in conscience, in history, atnd answering back through- prayer and reverence and song and liturgy and doctrine and temple, when in fact no God has been perceived, then it is evident that human nature is constitutionally deranged. Tt is re markable, however, that ,man should End himself led astray at none of the gateways through which he holds comamercc wIth outside reality excent the religious. The gateway of vinon opens out alirectly into the kingdom of light. The gateway of sound et a-tly adjicins the kingdom of melody. T he intellect borders on the realm Struth. The universe fits closely about and meets and matchos ever~y human sense excent the religious. If ma~n woudi breathe, there is the air; if he wonild satisfy his hunger, there is food; if he wonid slake his thirst, there is water; if he would talk th'ere are vibrations to carry his words. Every door of the soul and body is an open port through which there is eonstant exchange of inside and out side merchandise, excent the one Onening into the religious regions. When through the spiritual sense he anprehenis what he takes to be di vine reality, he finids only the nhan tasmal forms of his own soul filling the horizon in front of ' in. If we can know God by exactly the same meThods we use to know the world and man, what becomes of faith? In reply, It may be answered that we have no knowledge of any grade of reality whatsoever without faith. For knowledge of things ma terial we need sense-faith; for knowl edge of things human we need self fait1-.; for knowledge of God we need religious faith. Faith does not come at the end of Intellectual processes by means of which perceptions are worked up into conceptions and laws and general ideas. Faith stands et the outer, door of the mind and all intuitions, whethe of nature, man or God, must receive its apnroval bofore they can be initiated Into the differ ent degrees of knowledge. Before we can reason about gravi tation, force, atoms, and ether we must accept their existence by~ faith. Faith goes before proof. \\ e cannt store up an item of knowledge of to' tan.;ible world evan without n'*-. assumpticois ti-t no) one can !'ossibiv prove. Those scientists who deride faith and take unction to themselvos upon believing nothing without evi dence, should remember that hbore there can be any experience of any thing or any demonstration of an" thing whatsoever, they are un-ler to. necessity of making assintions every one of whirh must be acceptci by faith All c-i fusion of tho zet on the s ihjet of faith has grmyn u it of the fact that it has been unt at end of mental proemsses, w i-n itn lon.g at the bltuningofim - function is to initiate i~'n ''eui . stan.s at the d::.ae ;.i work is to certify to the validity of our intuitions. The same argument that is brought by Haeckel against the existence of God was brought to 'ume against the existence of man, aind by Fichte against the existence of the world. The one thing that every man knows with the conviction f absolute certainty is the fact of 'is own e istence. If the self is not nown, n~thing can be. Yet no one *ver* with the eye of sense saw him elf thinking or willing or feelingr. ~~t he has as mueh confidlence in is self-percentions as in bis conse orcentions. Faith in our intuitions of nature, of man nd of o. is he confition of physical science. psycho logical scienc and the science of religion. Without faith in s!sjs-impressions we become italisIs. Without faith in self-imnrexsions we become ag nostics. Without faith in religious imrnression-s we becoml matci-alists. Faith is impossibl without evideilce, and as so-md :.ii valid evidence is needed for our faith in God as for our faith in the world. But the Lvi denee faith deniands is not such as the reason presenLi. but such as tbe intuitions pr;ent. Nature, u an and God, the three terms which represent the r-ntire sum of reality, must each he taken at the outset on faith based on the evidence of sense-intuition, self-intuition and religious intuition. Physical science is the knowledge f nature: but be fore the int% i'Fence can make use of the cognitions of sense out of which to form it, naiure itseif must be ac ceited by faith. We must believe that God is before' we can ever use the intuitions of Hlim to make theo logical science. "Faith is an affirni.tion and an act, Which bids eternal truth be present fact." In denying the existence of God to begin with, we close the door of the spirit through which God manifests Himself. If we start out with the understanding that there is no God, religious perceptions are strangled in their very birth. Of course, we can have no perceptions of God if we mu tilate the noblest part of our nature by putting out the eyes of the relig ious sense. We have it within our power to destroy our physical senses. We can plug- up onr ears and shut the windows of vision and close all the doors through which the outside world impresses us. But one foolish enough to destroy his physical senses would be doubly stupid if he imag ined ,afterward that he had more commerce with reality than those who kept onen all the gateways of the body and soul. Haeckel says that "human nature which exalts itself into an imaga of God * * * has no more value ror the universe at large than an ant or the fly of a summer's d:.y." Unless the knowledge man gets of himself and the world and God by the reaction of intelligence on per ceptions is valid and 'rustworthy, Haeckel is right; man is not of more value than the ant, or the fly of a summer's day. He is not of as much value as the bee, or the beaver, or the tailor bird; for they are all art ists without the tronble of learning how to be, while he is left to accumu late knowledge as best he can by the use of his faculties. They know at the beginning what It has taken him thousands of years to find out, and even now the bee surpasses him in the application of the principles of mathematics. If what man knows, or thinks he knows, of the world and himself and God is illusion, then the lower ani mais have the advantage of him. The knowledge built into their bodies does correspond with the facts with which they have to deal. They are not disappointed and deceived. The f vek of wild geese from the Northern lakes have always fonnd the South they felt In their blood was there. The beaver has always found the mud responsive to his tail, and the wood of the tree no harder than his teeth could cut. Bit, if the cogni tions of man do not corresniondi to things, but are hallucinations, phan tasmal forms of his own conscious ness, then the bears and tigers and beavers and bees and ants and gnats have the advantage of him. Human beings who have exaltod themselves, as Haeckel says, into images of God, are the greatest fools, and the only fools, on 3arth. The universe puts a higher valne on genuine flat-footed tigers, who find as they roam on all fours the jungles matching their every want and anticinatin g their every item of constitutional knowl edge, than upon the so-called lords of creation,who have only climbed to the top of animated existence in their. conceit. They are like a company of plain laborers, Imagining themselves to be King Georges, and, instead of occupying thrones, as they think they do, they are perched upon stools in the different rooms of an insane asy lum. It were better to be a good, healthy tiger in the tall cane of the swamp any time than to be a crazy, self-inflated, self-conceited descend ant of Adam, running at-large in the high places of existence. It were bet ter to be a real cow, grazing in the meadow, than an unreal human biped, walking with his head full of delusions in a paradise of fools. A Rich Brother. Mr. Dwight L. Moody used to tell of a young man he knew of who went into business in one of our Western towns. The people thought he was sure to fail; but he did not. After he had been going along for some years, showing no signs of fail ing, it was discovered that he had a brother in the East who was very rich, and who helped him along from time to time. Just so is it with us in the Chris tian life; we have an Elder Brother who is very rich, and, joined in part nership with Him, He will help us to hold out.

FREE ADVICE, in plain seated er uable 64-page Book on "Home Trea Address: Ladies' Advisory Growing importaice of Wheat. One of the notable agricultural facts is the increasing attention given to the wheat crop, not only within the corn belt, where for years there was a tendency to neglect it, but also in the distinctive small grain regions. Under improved methods and ruling prices for a series of years wheat has proven one of the most profitable erops. even in the old settled eastern portion of Nebraska, while its possi bilities have been one of the main propelling causes of the extraordin ary movement of farmers westward into the subhumid region in the United States and the vast expanses of the Canadian northwest. Yet there has been a marked concurrent tendency of wheat exports to fall off. An analysis of the fact cover ing 27 years demonstrates a steady inereas of domestic consumption, amounting in the aggregate to 40 per cent., while population has in creased only 30 per cent. which goes far to explain the hiteherto puzzling results. whether as regards prices, production or exports. For it ap pears by comparison of five-year per iods that the per capita wheat con sumption from IS79 to 1S4 was 4.q4 bushels, from 1901 to 1906 5.03 bushels. Just whey consumption should so rapidly increase over so long a period in the face of advanc practically no new uses in addition to that of human food, is not made clear, but the fact of such increase is established beyond a preadventure.

"All my life I had been troubled more or less with humor in my scalp, but about a year ago it became worse, and my scalp was covered with little sores, which itched so it nearly made me crazy; my hair also began to get dry and fall out. I tried all kinds of hair restorers with no effect, and I was neary discouraged, but one day I was reading in a paper what the Cuticura kemedies had done for scalp diseases, and decided to make a trial.

Their frst laboratory was the kitchen, where' roots ana herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually filling a gross of bottles. Then came the question of selling it. for always before they had given it away freely. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlete setting forth the merits of, the medi cine, now called Lydia E.

The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent. self-advertising, for whoever used it recommended it to others. and the de mand gradually increased.
