Inland H^^auon on the water
highways of France is much more,
important than one might suppose
from the situation of the streams. A
cehsns 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 canals of Fans and
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 88 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 Succom 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
mall 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 ia ruled that for each engagement
and each marriage a tooth
must be decorated, dentista will be
overworked and some women won'i
have teeth enough to go around?
that ia, they won't unless there ia a
falling off in the divorce line of activity.
Of course the new idea if
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 never has been engaged.
At present when finger ringf
are used it ia easy for a girl to smik
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 who.
ihas that delightful inconsequential
way of saying things. I met her ont
day when she was last in New York
,8he was just coming out of a shop
"How is dear Joe?" she asked, referring
to a mutual friend. "He it
well and happy," 1 answered. "If
his hair as red as ever?" she asked
"Yes, quite," I answered. "Thank
<Iod!" she exclaimed fervently
jumped into her cab and drove away
She didn't mean anything, she didn't
care whether his hair was red, white
or blue, hut that was Ellen Terry'?
way of saying things, and I laughed
as I walked up the street every tira?
I thought of it.?Exchange.
PRESERVE HISTORICAL RELICS.
I
France, a country rich in historical
monuments, has enacted a law
looking toward their preservation,
It is decreed that an inventory of all
historical monuments and buildings
in France shall be taken durina
?
next three yean, with the view ol
discovering those in need of restoration.
The law also decrees that private
owners shall he held responsible
for their upkeep. Under this law
it will be no longer possible for any
rich American to acquire the cathedral
of Notre Dame, pull it down,
and rebuild it in New York, Kalamazoo
or Oshkosh for the purpose of
attesting hit interest in history and
art. .

WATCHFULNESS.
(Ttmptranct Lesson.)
LESSON TEXT?"Luke 12:K-tt.
! OOLDEN TEXT?"Blsssed are thoot
j servants whom the Lord when he cometfe
i shall And watching."?Luke 12:ST.
The words of Jesus are the greateel
authority the believer has upon which
to found his belief In the Second Com
lng. Some refuse to have much to dc
with this Important theme because oth
ers have perverted it or else "overlj
emphasized It" yet In the 260 chapter!
' In the New Testament there are 311
distinct references to this theme, a fai
greater proportion than is placed upoc
some of the doctrines upon which
: whole denominations have been found
ed.
Relative Value.
I. The exhortation to watch, w. 35

paragraph. Jesus has been showlni

i slons and the Kingdom of Ood an<
I epitomizes his teaching In v. 34. Hi
; now Bets before his disciplines wha
shall their attitude towards him durini
j his absence (XL Pot 3:11, 12 R. V., Ti
i tus 2:13; H. Tim. 4:8). Thus to b<
watchful seems to contradict his Bug
I gestions about anxiety. We need ti
i remember, however, that the ohlli
of the Kingdom is in entirely ne?
relationship with the world. Hli
desire is not for self enrichment bu
rather to be in such relations with Go<
as blB rights demand and thus to brlni
to others their highest good. This pai
able epitomizes opportunity. Rlghtl;
to make use of none's opportunltie
, | spells happiness for the disciple whei
he the king shall appear. The evldenc
that we are watching for his appeal

Individual heart (Rev. 8:20) but whe
i he comes 'twill he to be present at
feast, v. 36. We cannot contract thl
i time and there Is no call to service tc

Peter's Question,
i II. The explanation to Peter, vi
, 41-48- Between this parable and th
one which follows, Peter Interrupts b
asking the question, "Lord, speaker
1 | thou this parable unto us, or even ui
to all?" That which follows Is his ai
i swer to that question but It Is also
, continuance of the teaching just givei
In this part Jesus refers to steward
(bond-servants) that it Is their si
' preme business to seek the Klngdoi
by selling In order to give. The on
work of a servant Is to give to th
members of an household, each In du
season his portion of the father'
bountiful grace. John 21:15-17: I. Pe
5:2; Jer. 3:15. There are many d<
' ceitful servants who first feed then
selves, or feed only a portion of th
i household, or who feed chaff rathe
fhon KrnoA ovnn fKo ?%/* Ki?ao/l /v# II#.
I. Pet. 2:2; 4:10, 11. Jesus teaches u
that each bond-servant shall likewls
be Judged and that suddenly.
111. The exhortation. Jesus Chrli
. here presents to us the fact that w
shall all be Judged. That the measui
, of our reward or of our punishmer
is dependent upon the measure of on
> . knowledge and of our opportunlt;
James 4:17. To him to whom muc
, is given, of him shall much be r
quired. Our present responsibility I
that of being ready for the coming t
the King and of his Kingdom. The e:
pression of that readiness is evidence
by our lives of service. There are t
course many other phases of servlc
not included in this parable, but on
Lord is emphasising opportunity, ste^
ardship, service, watchfulness. In o
der to fulfill our service wo must ent?
( into fellowship with the king in hi
, reign, and those who enter into thi
fellowship, who are faithful, he wi
* reward vv. 37, 43. The measure of on
punishment is conditioned upon th
measure of our knowledge (v. 48) an
our knowledge can be enlarged as w
use our opportunities.
1 IV. The Golden Text, (v. 37). ]
> Intended to fix our attention upon th
acts of our Lord when he shall retun
j It seems astonishing that he shall con

of the exceeding grace mentioned b
the Apostle Paul, Rom. 11:33.
