annual report, shows that his Office receivcd
and adjusted 2,566 claims, LIS of which
were allowed, Gil rejected, and 40 suspended
BY reason of several decisions Of the supreme

important work has been partially accom-

counts-the accumulation of years-have
been overhauled and placed in boxes for easy
reference, and over 1000 pay rolls repaired
and rebound for protection.

A Bad Disease.

Morbus Sabbaticus is a descriptive
phase of disease not sporadic but
epidemic. 1t attacks church members
with violence on Sabbath from ten to
twelve O'Clock, and it takes the rest of
the day to recuperate, for in no case
does it last until Monday morning. The
patient begins to convaesce after the
meridian and about three O'Clock stroll
is taken, or, if his finances will permit,
a drive in the park. 1t is very fatal in
large cities. In the country it attacks
the horses and during these same hours
they are too sick or stiff for duty, and
the pious family that owns them is
obliged to stay away from church.
Like malarial diseases, it observes the
laws of periodicity and runs through
the scales of sevens. This disease
never interferes with either sleep or
appetite, but is so regular in its return
that many take pills on Sunday and re-
pair themselves for Monday, as some
Christian manufacturers stop their
mills piously on Saturday night but de-
vote Sunday to cleaning their boilers.
The disease has, if continued, proved
fatal to the soul and in the end the
body has gone down too. 1t is con-
tagious. Beware. - PreSbyterian Oh

Baked Potatoes.

The potato furnishes an excellent
illustration of the right and wrong
methods of baking. There is of course
but one right and proper method of
baking potato; but potatoes are baked
by three different methods, and it is
only by accident, and not oftener than
once in ten times, that the proper
method is adopted by the average cook
Following one method, the potato is
placed in very hot oven and before it
is half cooked thick crust is formed
which is sure to be burned and charred
by the time the potato is thoroughly
baked. Following another method, the
potato is placed in a moderate oven,
which is allowed to retain the same
temperature until the baking is COM
pleted, and the result is soft, flabby
limp production, as characterless as
the oven in which it was cooked. Fol-
lowing another, and the correct method
the potato is placed in a moderate oven
and subjected to gradual increasing
heat, until the inside is perfectly cooked,
the skin has assumed firm consistency
and light brown color and the atmos-
phere is pervaded with the delicious
aroma of perfectly-baked potato.-The
Kitchen.

The Great Work.

Above all read and study the great
Author. Do you remember Sir Walter
SCOTS dying words to his son-in-law,
Lockhart? " Bring the book" what
book?" "Need you ask? There is
bit one" Such was the testimony of
one whose books have entranced thou
sands, whose charm will last while
literature endures. l conclude, dear
girls, with this thought of the foremost
of novelists-" There is but one book "
that embodies all wisdom, love and
truth. Other books are good or bad as
they approach or fall away from its
standard. Seek, then, I" the sincere
milk of the Word" that your souls may
grow beautiful as your bodies. How
many of you will make beginning by
taking " a verse day." feeding on it
through the passing moments and stor-
ing it in the treasure-house of memory?
And so, in after years, when bonny
brown hairs are faded and the golden
are gray, and "desire fails" and the
"good things of life " have been tasted
and refused to satisfy, Gods own Word
shall still prove " sweeter than honey"
and his promises shining through the
dark shall, star-like, point to the eternal
shore. Faith and Works.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1888-08-29

A little while after Jerusalem was
desu Dyed two Jewish rabbis were
walking over the ruins. The one wept,
the other smiled. The weeping one
said to the one that smiled How can
you smile when you see our holy city
in ruins?" may" said the other,
" let me rather ask you, Why do you
weep?" :" | weep" said he, " because
l see the fearful judgment of the
Almighty. Our beautiful city is no
more, our holy temple is laid waste, our
brethren-where are they now?" "All
that" said his companion, is the rea-
son why l smile. | see how sure Gods
judgments are. learn from that how
true must be his promises. God hath
said, will destroy jerusalem | see
he has, But he has also said, | will
rebuild jerusalem Shall not believe
his word?" What a rebuke to pro-
Tossing Christians is this from an I'M
believing Jew!

to go to sleep at night without knowing
where your breakfast was to come from.
You never had a sick child wasting
away for the want of costly Injuries.
You never had to deny yourself the
qualification of the impulses of pity
when a sufferer came to your door.
You never had to endure the humlia-
ton of being dunned for an honest
debt without knowing whether you
could ever pay it. All these unspeak-
able advantages in developing Chris
tan character an inscrutable Provi-
dence has taken from you and bestowed
upon us poor men. The one solitary

been denied to us and given to you is
the grace of liberality, and if you don't
exercise that the Lord have mercy on

Christ's Words.

When some beloved voice that to you
Both sound and sweetness faileth suddenly.
And silence against which you dare not cry
Aches round you like strong disease and new
What hope2 What help? What music will undo
That silence to your sense2 Not friendships sigh,
Not reasons subtle count, not melody
OF vios, nor of pipes that Faunus blew,
Not songs of poets, nor of nightingales,
Whose hearts leap upward through the cypress
trees
To the clear noon nor yet the spheric laws
Selfchanted-nor the angels sweet all halls
Met in the smile of God. Nay, none of these.
Speak thou, avaing Christ-and fill this pause.

The Resurrection Life.

The believing soul is risen with
Christ, inasmuch as our union with
him makes us partakers of his resur-
rection as our victory over death. The
water in the reservoir and in the foun-
tain is the same; the sunbeam in the
chamber and in the sky are one. The
life which flows into our spirits from
Christ is life that has conquered death
and makes us victors in that last con-
flict, even though we have to go down
into the darkness. If Christ live in us
we can never die. " 1t is not possible
that ace should be holden by it," The
bands which he broke can never be
fastened on our limbs. The gates of
death were so warped and the locks so
spoiled when he burst them asunder
that they can never be closed again.
