I WITH HEAD TO THE NORTH
K Reason* Why That Position in 8le*p
ing May Bo Beneficial, Especially
I to Those In Poor Health.
m In answering & subscriber's quesW
tion as to why one shpuld sleep with
I one's head to-the nojrth, Dr. Robert
I T. Morris in '?{. Nicholas say3:
| "Electric currents run north and
I south, through the earth. An object
is said to he in a state of better electric
rest is its long axis is in line
{ with the earth's electric currents. It
is mv impression that the custom of
sleeping with the head to the north
was adopted before anything was
known about these currents. If Hint
is the case, I take it to mean that
certain persons are so readily affected
hv these influences that they
tind themselves disturbed if they try
lo sleep with the short axis of the
body in line with them.
"I have purposely made the experiment
and have asked friends to
maka it when we were in camp.
None of us noted any connection between
our sleep and our position in
regard to points of the compass. We
were strong and well, however. It
might be quite different with invalids.
"The volume of these terrestrial
currents is not commonly appreciated.
Drive any iron rod into the
ground at right angles to the plane
of the earth's surface and it at once
lieeomes a magnet."
GETTING OUT INTO NATURE
Pathetically Brief Time in Which Man
Should Prepare for Life
Hereafter.
It is not all loss to be driven back
to the soil, remarks the Universulist
leader. It is not all gain to be even
an Adams in New England. The
hurden of respectability is great.
Family traits and traditions are
sometimes stifling to originality.
Some people are little more than
copy plates of their forbears. There
is some comfort in venturing forth
upon the friendly road for a joust
with nature in & colored shirt without
fearing the rebuke or frown of
some eminently straitlaced critic of
our vulgar ways. There is something
humorous in the remembrance of Unfriend
who is always genial in the
club, but never sees us when in blue
jeans we are sweeping the gutter or
digging in the garden. There is a
pathetic side to the existence of those
who do not think they arc really
alive unless coljar and cuffs are prop
eriv anjtiBreu. iNaKecl cmne into
the world. Naked we will go out
of it. During the little time that
we linger between these two doorways
to the infinite perhaps we shall
l?e wise to cultivate a little more of
the robustness which will enable us
to live in that great out of door?
which is certain to l?e our eternal
abiding place.
LATEST KITCHEN.
The sanitary and most, satisfactory
kitchen has glazed tile walls and the
ceiling is sheathed with pressed sheet
iron painted white. The range has
hoods over it to carry off the odors
,;and heat and to make the room cool
Ad. comfortable. The floor is of
cork tile or of cement, with strips of
. ^matting laid upon it?these can lie
easily taken up. A drain in the center
carries off the water from the
iloor after washing.
PIG IN A "POKE.^
Poke is an older form of the word
pouch or bag. The Celtic word was
"j?oc" or ''p01*?/' whence also is our
word pocket. We have inafr been in

more to the surface in the speech of
Alaskan pr*>a pec tors, where |>oke is
commonly used in designation of the
buckskin pouch in which their takings
of gold are carried.'*

A misunderstanding of the text, "In

THE UNJUST STEWARD.

In a very little Is faithful also In much;
and ho thai Is nnrigtitciuis In a very little

Again in one chapter (and her*
only l we have before us two of the
Master's more famous parables, the
unjust steward and the rich man and
Lazarus. Moth are parables of warning
against the common sins of hypocrisy
and gluttony. Luke links this
teaching with the events in connection
with our Lord's teachiug about
the lost things There is clearly a
close connection. The parable of the
lust things was spoken directly to the
Pharisees and scribes, (hut now before
us to the disciples The failure
of the Pharisees as stewards of
the things of God, the divine law,
calls front Jesus, for those gathered
as his disciples, teaching that will
prepare them to fulfill perfectly the
stewardship responsibilities. The story
is both positive and negative, is
direct against covetousness, and its
main purpose to us is how to use
money, while we have it, so that it
may bring us a recompense in the
eternal world when it is gone (v. y>.

How much more shall a "son of the
light" be shrewd, so to use the money
entrusted to his stewardship, that
when it is taken from him, he has
provided for the future. The record
does not imply that Jesus approved of
the man's immoral actions lie is using
the example of an uprighteous
steward as a contrast to show how
much more is to be expected from Rod

facts, the story is perfectly simple and
straightforward. The dishonest "son
of his age" has a wrong method,
though hiB motive from this point of
view is a wise aud prudent one, clever
in our modern use of that word. This
does not condone his fraud, nor does
our Lord commend him. The contrast
is established in the parable between
men wholly or their ace, and men,
professedly, at least; sons of ligftt. In
their dealings wltn eternal things they
had not shown the same astuteness
as the former. Luke 15 deals with the
heartless contempt of the Pharisees
for those who are lost, while the
parables of this chapter deal with '
stewardship?faithfulness (I Cor. 5:2).
On Higher Level.
II. The Use of Money, ve. 9-13. The
value of this parable is in the actual
teaching of Jesus which follows the
parable. That is introductory, emphasizing
the need for wisdom on the
' part of all stewards. After that wo
! are on a higher level and in a clear1
er atmosphere. Unrighteous mammon
means money, and to make
friends "by means of the mammon of
unrighteousness" i R. V.) 1b bo to
use our money for the godly poor as
to win their love and that they may
receive us into the eternal tabernacles
to which they shall go, see Matt. 19:
21; 25:33-40; G:19; 1 Tim. 0:17-19;
Prov. 19:17. As has been said, Jesus
does not commend this steward for his
J wrong use of his master's money, but
the steward of God has the right to
bestow his Master's goods upon the
needy, as that is the very reason they
have been bestowed upon him?entrusted
to his care. Matt. 24:45; I
Pet. 4:10. Our entrance into the king- |
uuin win oe more uoundaut because of I
our liberality with God's money, Mutt,
lb: 21. This does not preclude faith
but rather, real faith worketh by love,
. Gal. j:C. James 2:18 lit. V.). If
wo are faithful with that entrusted to
our stewardship, God will entrust us
i with "tlio true riches." Our earthly
riches belong to another tv. 12 11. V.l,
and we cannot serve "two masters."

] This story moves within the realm of
material wealth, e. g., of mammon. It
illustrates the higher wisdom of how
! mammon is to be used by the stewt
urds of the kingdom of God. Verses
j r, and 1G of this chapter reveal to us
i our laird's reason for such an illustration.
It was directed against the cov;
etous and false stewards, the Pharisees,
w ho "scoffed at him because they
1 were lovers of money!" We are to
use money so as to make frleuds, uot

tions The answer to the first is that
no one ever commits the stewardship
of spiritual things to those who are
unfaithful in material things A man
shows by his faithfulness in material
things whether he is to be entrusted
with spiritual stewardship. The second
question is answered in that men
do not #ve that which is their own to
those who have not been faithful as
trustees.
ALARM CLOCK IN THE MIND
Explanation of the Power Many Posteu
of Always Knowing the
Time to a Minute.
Did you ever know a person who
could always (ell the time to a minute
without seeing a timepiece? That
there are such people is a known
scientific fact. The latest theory in
regard to the power of those whose
minds count out the hours ami inii>utes
is given by a French psychologist.
"Time is measured in the siiliconscious
mind by heart throbs. The
heart heats for the most part with
great uniformity and ticks oir the
seconds as regularly as a clock.
"It is in sleeping hours rather
than in waking that the mind works
out tho problem best. It is no unusual
feat to say to your mind at
night, ''(-all me at 0:30,*' an?i you
Mill waken ami wonder why. until
you recall I bat you planned to get
up at just that time.
"This alarm clock in the mind
can be trained," the psychologist
goes on to say, "to be much more
accurate than the buzzer on the table,
which sometimes fails to awaken us
in the morning because we have
heard it too often."
The writer says nothing as in
whether those who are. in love will
waken earlier ecansc of their quickened
heart throbs, or whether those
who are depressed and whose heart
beuts lag will he late in reaching the
oftice.
