Inland fl^^anon on the water
highways of France is much more,
important than one might suppose
from the situation of the streams. A
cehsus taken in" 1912 brought to
light the fact that there were 15,141
boats of three tons and over, capable
of carrying over 4,000,000 tons. As
regards capacity, 78 per cent, can
carry more than 300 tons; 13 per
cent., 200 to to 300 tons; 5 per cent.,
100 to 200 tons, and 4 per cent., 3
to 100 tons.
Of the boats in use, 1,700 were of
iron. These were encountered chiefly
on the seine, the can&Js of fans ana
the Marne, and in the neighborhood
of the Rhine.
There is an interesting international
phase of this humble, but by
no means unimportant, branch of
French navigation, due to the connection
between the waterways of
France and those of neighboring
countries. Among the boats covered
by the census 83 per cent, were
JYench, 14 per cent, Belgian and 3
per cent. German. The Belgian
boats, having an average capacity of
317 tons, are seen on almost all the
waterways of the northern, eastern
and central regions of France, but
chiefly in the frontier departments.
FAD HAS SOME DRAWBACKS
"Engagement Tooth," That Threatens
to Become Popular, May Not Be
the 8ucceea Looked For.
Speaking of fads, there's that
newest one in New York?the engagement
tooth, you know. An engaged
girl started it by having a
amall diamond placed in a gold setting
placed as a crown to one of her
front teeth?all to be paid for by
her prospective husband. By and by
we may distinguish the engaged girl
by her glittering tooth?and the
married woman by two of the same.
But it is ruled that for each engagement
and each marriage a tooth
must be decorated, dentists will be
overworked and some women won't
have teeth enough to go around?
that is, they won't unless there is a
falling off in the divorce line of activity.
Of course the new idea is
freakish. But it's worse. Because
when you see a girl who has no diamonds
in her smile you'll know at
once that she neeer has been engaged.
At present when finger ringF
are used it is easy for a girl to smilf
knowingly. But with the evidence
tacked to her teeth every smile will
be a revelation, won't it?

ONLY ONE ELLEN TERRY.
There is only one Ellen Terry
only one woman that I ever met whf
ihas that delightful inconsequential
way of saying things. I met her on<
day when she was last in New York
iShe was just coming out of a shop
"How is dear Joe?" she asked, referring
to a mutual friend. "He ii
well and happy," I answered. "Ii
his hair as red as ever?" she asked
"Yes, quite," I answered. "Than!
Ood 1" she exclaimed fervently
jumped into her cab and drove away
She didn't mean anything, she didn'1
care whether his hair was red, whit<
or blue, but that was Ellen Terry's
way of saying things, and I laughed
as I walked up the street every tinru
I thought of it.?Exchange.
PRESERVE HISTORICAL RELICS.
France, a country rich in historical
monuments, has enacted a las
looking toward their preservation
It is decreed that an inventory of al
historical monuments and huildingi
in France shall be taken during th<
next three years, with the view ol
discovering those in need of restoration.
The law also decrees that private
owners shall he held responsiblf
for their upkeep. Under this law
it will be no longer possible for an)
rich American to acquire the cathedral
of Notre Dame, pull it down
and rebuild it in New York, Kalamazoo
or Oshkoeh for the purpose ol
attesting his interest in history and
art .

WATCH FULNE88.
?
(Ttmptranci LaMon.)
LESSON TEXT?"Luke 12
! QOLDKN TEXT?"Blwifl are those
I Mrvant* whom the Lord when he cometh
bell find watching."?Luke 13:S7.
The words of Jesus are the greatest
I authority the believer has upon which
to found his belief in the Second Coming.
Some refuse to have much to do
with this important theme because others
have perverted it or else "overly
: emphasized it" yet in the 260 chapters
in the New Testament there are 318
distinct references to this theme, a far
: greater proportion than is placed upon
I some of the doctrines upon which
: whole denominations have been founded.
Relative Value.
I. The exhortation to watch, w. 35'
40. This is the beginning of a new
paragraph. Jesus has been showing
i the relative value of material possesj
slons and the Kingdom of Qod and
I epitomises his teaching in v. 34. He
now sets before his disciplines what
1 shall their attitude towards him during
I his absence (II. Pet. 3:11, 12 R. V., TlI
tus 2:13; II. Tim. 4:8). Thus to be
watchful seems to contradict his sug!
gestions about anxiety. We need to
i remember, however, that the child
of the Kingdom is in entirely new
relationship with the world. His
: deBlre is not for self enrichment but
' rather to be in such relations with God
as his rights demand and thus to bring
1 tn nthom th?lr Vifirhoat irnnH Thlu nar.
able epitomizes opportunity. Rightly
to make use of none'a opportunities
j spells happiness for the disciple when
he the king shall appear. The evidence
that we are watching for his appearlng
consists of the readiness of the Individual
who is or is not watching.
, r. 36; I. Pet. 1:13. Jesus knocks at the
. Individual heart (Rev. 8:20) but when
i he comes 'twill be to be present at a
feast, v. 36. We cannot contract this
j time and there is no call to service to.
! morrow. Lions girt, ready for the batj
tie or for the race, and lamps burning,
(light is always the result of something
being consumed), are today's vis>
lble evidence of continuous service.
Peter's Question,
i II. The explanation to Peter, w.
41-48- Between this parable and the
one which follows, Peter Interrupts by
asking the question, "Lord, speakest
thou this parable unto us, or even un
to all?" That which follows Is his ani
swer to that question but It is also a
continuance of the teaching just given.
In this part Jesus refers to stewards
(bond-servants) that it is their supreme
business to seek the Kingdom
by selling In order to give. The one
work of a servant is to give to the
members of an household, each In due
season his portion of the father's
bountiful grace. John 21:15-17: I. Pet.
. 5:2; Jer. 3:15. There are many de>
ceitful servants who first feed themselves,
or feed only a portion of the
i household, or who feed chaff rather
than bread, even the true bread of life,
I. Pet. 2:2; 4:10, 11. Jesus teaches us
1 that each bond-servant shall likewise
| De judged and tnat suddenly.
III. The exhortation. Jesus Christ
here presents to us the fact that we
shall all be judged. That the measure
, of our reward or of our punishment
is dependent upon the measure of our
: knowledge and of our opportunity,
James 4:17. To him to whom much
, is given, of him shall much be required.
Our present responsibility is
that of being ready for the coming ol
the King and of his Kingdom. The expression
of that readiness is evidenced
by our lives of service. There are ol
course many other phases of service
not included in this parable, but our
Lord is emphasising opportunity, stewardship,
service, watchfulness. In or
der to fulfill our service we must enter
t Into fellowship with the king in hla
I reign, and those who enter into thai
fellowship, who are faithful, he will
? reward vv. 37, 43. The measure of our
punishment is conditioned upon the
measure of our knowledge (v. 48) and
our knowledge can be enlarged as we
use our opportunities.
1 IV. The Golden Text, (v. 37). la
? Intended to fix our attention upon the
acts of our Lord when he Bhall return
. It seems astonishing that he shall com
pel those whom he finds watching tc
' ' seat themselves that he may gird him
| self and serve them. Here we gird
t I ourselves that we may serve him by
)| serving others (Matt. 25:40). But in
, that tomorrow the day of his victory,
I he will gird himself and serve those
who have been watchfulness and obe
- dient servants. This is a suggestion
of the exceeding grace mentioned by
tbe Apostle Paul, Rom. 11:33.
V. The Temperance Leaaon is suggested
by the conduct of those who
. are not watching for the King's apr
peaiing (v. 45). They were indulging
| in the animal pleasures of the moment
The Kingdom of Ood la not in eating
I and drinking hut consists of righteousl
ness and peace and Joy in tbe Holy
) Spirit, Rom. 14:17. The effect of inp
temperance on the death rates, on the
next generation, from an economic
* standpoint or viewed from any angle,
* Is only the result of the most criminal
? shortsightedness. A clear apprehenp
sion of the fact of the imminence of
r his return would change ail lives.
