MORE OR LESS OF A JOKE Auto Driver's Comment on Careless Hose Wlelder Really Mild Under the Circumstancee. Am East end man moved last summer, and among the other necessities of the new home was a 50-foot section of garden hose, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The East end man has a fondness for boasting about his steadiness un der trying conditions, and never tires of telling of his sangfroid when a passenger coach in which he was riding was raided by a pair of train robbers. One Sunday afternoon he was sprinkling the lawn when an automobile containing some friends drew up at the curb. The East end man, hose in hand, hurried across the walkto greet them, and then turned io wave his hand to his wife, who was on the porch, to come down. As he whirled about he forgot the hose and unconsciously trained it directly on the party in the auto. There were wild shrieks from the women in the car. The hoseman hastily threw the stream around, and let it drive squarely at his wife, who was hurrying down the walk from the porch. "What in blazes do you think you're doing?" roared the sputtering auto driver, "getting out. a comic supplement ?" REAL CAUSE OF EYE FATIGUE Not the Retina, but the Inner and Outer Muscles of the Eyeballs Become Tired. One makes a gnat mistake by savin, r <l.u? 4l.? ?, ?. . > fi-.wl 4lw. ""ft * "= ,w^ """ ???rot inn or seeing portion of the eye is fatigued. This is not the case, for the retina seldom if ever gets tired. The fatigue is in the inner and outer muscles attaehed to the eyeballs and the muscles of accommodation which surround the lens of the eye. When a near object has to l>c looked at this muscle relaxes and allows the lens to thicken, increasing its reactive power. The inner and outer muscles are used in covering the eye on the object to he looked at. the inner one being especially used when a near object is looked at. It is in three muscles mentioned that the fatigue is felt, and relief is secured temporarily by closing the eyes or gazing at far distant objects. Tinusual indication of strain is a redness of the rim of the eyelid, betokening a congested state of the inner Burfaee, accompanied by some pain. Sometimes this weariness indicates the need of glasses rightly adapted to the person, and in other cases the true remedy is to rub the eye and its surroundings as far as may be with the hand wet in cold water. EASY DIPLOMA. After a Canadian named Morgan had been appointed to a government place it was discovered that the position technically had to be occupied by a lawyer, which Mr. Morgan was not. The benchers of the law society, however, undertook to obviate the technicality, and appointed one of their number to examine Morgan. "Tell us, Mr. Morgan," said the examiner, "what do you know about the law, anvwav?" "To tell the truth," was the modest response of Morgan, "I don't know a single thing." Whereupon the examiner intimated that the question was at an end. He turned in his affidavit, wherein it was stated : "1 have examined Mr. Morgan as to his knowledge of the law, and to the best of my knowledge and belief be has answered all the questions with entire correctness."

SELLERS, Director of Evening Department. The Moody Bible Institute. I Ctalcano. > LESSON FOR MARCH 15 LAWFUL USE OF THE SABBATH. LESSON TEXT-Luke 13:10-17; 14:l-?. -GOLDEN TEXT?"The Sab?>ath wu made for man and not man (or the Sabbath."?Mark 2J7. These two sections of scripture have been chosen that we might emphasize the truth of the golden text which can correctly be translated. "The Sabbath was brought into being on account of man. and not man on account of the Sabbath." There are two extremes of thought and action as regards the Christian Sabbath. One is to make it a holiday, the other to make it a holy-day, to worship the day as though it possessed some secret sacredness thereby forgetting the author of the day. A study of what Jesus taught will check laxity on the one hand and correct fanatical error on the other. Contrast Shown. I. Jesus loosing the woman, 13:1017. This Incident is a strong contrast between God's mercy and man's lack of mercy. Satan was to blame for the woman's illness (v. 16) and at the same time for the hardness of the hearts of these men. The incident occurred in a synagogue and displeased the leaders. As if to rebuke them Jesus not only spoke the word of relief but also touched her, causing an iiimaiiuiut'uua U11U a UU 111 pit! LB CUIT3. Her response was to glorify God. The Bight of thlB satanlc captive acted In contrast upon Jesus and the ruled of the synagogue. Compassion and an utter lack of sympathy. More care for legalism than for the relief of one created in God's Image. Jesus seems to have acted speedily and is today calling the unfortunate to him to be healed and comforted. Matt. 11:28-30. Jesus could have healed by a word only, John 5:40-43, but there Is power also In the loving touch, which In this case quickened her faith (v. 13). The record does not suggest that her cure was in response to her faith as was the case In other cures, Matt. 8:10; 15:28. If the ruler had had a heart of compassion he too would have re' Joiced at the cure, but he cared more for ceremonial ecclesiastlcism than for the good of the worshipers and his emotion was that of indignation rather than that of Joy. A religion that Is more concerned with bondage to the beggarly elements, the observance of days (Gal. 4:9-11) Is here denounced as hypocrisy (vv. 16, 16). It Is to have more interest in property than in human souls. Ofttimes hatred ' for those who do not agree with us Is covered up by a falso fanatical pretended Jealousy for the law of God. Lovfc's Attribute. II. Jesus healing the man, 4:1-6. In this incident the question of the Sabbath Is raised by Jesus himself, evidently in answer to their mental attitude. for "they watched him" (v. 1). Receiving no reply, Jesus first healed the man and then again reminded them of the care they gave their cattle. Jesus plainly implies that if they give care to an ox or an ass on the Sabbath, how can It possibly be wrong to relieve humanity on the Sabbath? Mercy and love are superior to ceremonies though these be of divine appointment. The reasoning is clear. Love Is an attribute of God's character. I. John 4:8, and therefore his own ceremonies must give way before the activities and energies of his being. Thus to act upon the principles that concern the value of an "or or an ass" is to allow the lower to control the higher, for a man is of more value than the ox. These Pharisees were exceedingly religious, great for the "letter of the law," but they were dried up at heart, and consequently far worse ofT than the man with the dropsy. It is small wonder then that the mnster's reply should silence them so "they could not answer him." The Teaching.?It is true that fun- | damentally the Sabbath idea is ono of worship and rest, but the reason for its existence is because of man's ! need of that rest. That true rest can be found only in a truo and intelligent spiritual fellowship with God. Anything, therefore, that interferes with or hinders rest breaks the Sabbath and should be removed in order that the Sabbath intention may be ob- j Berved These men were justified In leading an ox or an ass to water on the Sabbath or to rescue one in peril. On the same principle any work j which enables men to enter into a i Sabbath rest is nat only justifiable but necessary in the Interest of the Sabbath itself. They cared for cattle only as cattle, their property; we must care for men for their own RRk?n nmt I in his interest and behalf. The Sabbath must never be desecrated by being made an instrument of harm to man. It is always desecrated when, In the presence of human need, we decline to render service cn the plea of the sanctity of the day. A false ceremonlnl sanctity of any particular day must never be permitted to destroy the underlying, the truly essential, sanction and authority for a Sabbath rest. Physically wo do not each night fully regain our lost energy and need the seventh day j to jalnr.ee the account. Spiritually we need the strength that comes from the Sabbath day's rest. Isa. 30:15. The department of agriculture recommends that every rural and suburban household should be equipped with a fire bucket, filled with water, and provided with a cover. The bottom of the bucket should be round so it cannot be left on the tloor or used for any other purpose. It should lie hung up near the stairs or entrances of buildings and should have two pounds or more of fused calcium chloride added to the water ' 1a prevent freezing. - ... $ ; F' THE "F OUR HOME WOMEN HAVE BEAUTIFUL HAIR Next time you go'to the theatre or to the "movies" just notice, if you please, how'many of our home''ladies have beautiful hair?glossy, lustrous, and well-dreSsed.
