A HELP TO HEALTH.

The Beneficial Effects Of True Religion

Man has a religious, as much a. he

thoroughly pervert both. That man Is

True religion-not mere profession
lis a great help 10 health, however
bad may have been ones physical
hcredity or his early surroundings.
1t teaches him to keep his appetites-
great sources of disease when allowed
the mastery-in due sabjection. No
truly religious man can live to eat, en-
brute himself with alcohol, or be a
debauchee. Snch man will get more
real physical pleasure out Of life than
those in whom the lower nature has
the mastery. Religion condemns and
tends to repress all jealousy, envy,
hatred and the msligl, pas. ions, each
Of which when yielded to makes severe
draugbts on the health.

Protection Of water-Pipss.

A device has been brought forward
for protecting water-pipes against freez-
ing, the arrangement being based upon
the fact that water in motion will re-
main liquid at lower temperature
than water at rest. One end OF cop
per rod, placed outside Of the building,
is secured to a bracket, and the other
end is attached to the arm of weight
ed elbow lever; to the other arm of the
lever is secured rod which passes into
the building and operates a valve in
the water-pipe. BY means OF turn.
buckles the length Of the copper rod
can be adjusted SO that before the tenn
perature reaches the point at which
there would be danger of the water in
the pipes freezing, the valve will be
opened to allow flow of water; be-
yond this point the valve opening will
Increase and the flow become more
rapid IS the cold becomes more intense,
and a. the temperature rises the valve
is closed. This plan sets up current
in the pipes, which replaces the, water
as it grows cold by the warmer water
from the main. Whether the valve be
opened or closed the service-pipes are
always in working order.-N Y. Sun.

THE FASCINATION OF SIN.

Evils Awful Power OF Perpetuating anA
Increasing Itself.
When once man has done wrong
thing it has an awful power Of attract
ing him and making him hunger to do
it again. Every evil that l do may. in
deed, for moment create in mo re-
vulsion of conscience, but stronger
than that revulsion of conscience it ex-
ercises fascination over me which it
is hard to resist. It is great deal
easier to find man that has never done
a wrong thing than to find a man that
has only done it once. II the wall Of
the dyke is sound it will keep the water
out, but if there is the tiniest hole in it.
it will all come in. So the evil that
you do asserts its power over you, it
has fierce. longing desire after you.
and it gets you into its clutches.
Beware of the first evils, for ~ sure
as you are living, the first step taken
will make the second seem to become
necessary. The first drop will be fol-
lowed by a bigger second, and the Sec
opd, at shorter interval, by more
cOpious third, until the drops become
a shower, and shower becomes DEL
uge. The course Of evil ia ever wider
and deeper, and more tulnultuous
The little sins get in at the window and
open the front door for the big house,
breakers. One smo0ths the path for
the other. All sin has an awful power
of perpetuating and increasing itself.
As the prophet says in his awful vision
of the doleful creatures that make their
sport in the desolate city. ''Noae Of
them shall want her mate. The wild
beasts of the desert shall meet with the
wild beasts Of the islands," Every sin
tells upon character, and makes the
repetition Of itself more and more easy.
"None is barren among Them" And
all sin Is linked together in Shiny
tangle, like a field OF sea-weed, so that
a man once caught in its ooay fingers
is almost sure to drown.-Dr. Ale1ass-
der Maclaren.

To Him 30 Al the Praise.

Theodore Mon0d once made use o.
this beautiful illustration. He said:
III piece of iron could speak, what
would it sayp 1t would say: i am
black, am cold, l am hard Per-
fectly true. But put that piece Of iron
into the furnace and wait awhile, and
what would it sayp The blackness is
gone, the GOODNESS is gone, the hard
ness is gone'--it has passed into new
experience. But IL that piece Of iron
could speak, surely it would not glory
in itself, because the fire and iron are
two distinct things that remain distinct
to the last. II il could glory it would
glory in the fire and not in itself-in
the fire that kept it bright, molten
mass. So in myself l am black, | am
cold, and ! am hard, but il the Lord
takes possession of my soul, if l am
filed with love. If His Spirit fills my
being the blackness will go, and the
GOODNESS will 90, and the hardness will
60; and yet the glory does not belong
to me; but to the Lord, who keeps me
in a sense of His love-"
