The woman seemed slightly awed at
this, for the Doctors manner was very
solemn.

Practical Teachings Of Gkriss.

One of the practical teachings of Christ is
that His followers "be given to hospitality"
Now, Christian hospitality is not only the
entertainment Of those personal friends OF
ours who are congenial and delightful to us
personally and for themselves alone; but tho
glad and cheerful entertainment OF servants
and disciples of Christ for His sake, as they
may have need and we opportunity. The
story Of the good woman who prevailed with
her husband to build the chamber ON the
wall for the entertainment of the prophet,
though he was not popular man at the
time, and the many words of Christ con-
cerning receiving disciple or prophet in
the name Of prophet and disciple, ought
to start new train of thought in the minds
OF those Of us who have neglected this
gift. We would humbly suggest to
our readers to think over this matter, and
the next time an opportunity comes to them
to extend hospitality to one another in the
name of Christ embrace it heartily, and show
forth the loving kindness Of that Lord who
does not forget that He was stranger in the
earth Himself, and so delights to honor those
who have gracious care for strangers who
are in need Of entertainment. Let those
guests whom you receive on society or per-
sonai basis be who or what they may; but
when you extend hospitality in the name Of
Christ look for the angel who may be in dis
guise, or at least give entertainment as unto
an angel in disguise and your guest will
probably prove to be one.-[N. 7. ndepend-

Value Of Example.

The example of a godly man is a living
standing memento to all around HIM of
Christ, death and eternity. Piety Of high
grade not only removes objections, but wins
esteem. The irreligious sometimes talk as If
they considered Christians over-scrupulous
when they stand upon their principles and
refuse to yield sinful compliance with the
spirit and practice Of the multitude, when
really they think no such thing. When they
see Christian truly consistent In his con-
duct, their hearts are constrained to. do him
homage; yea to do homage to the religion he
processes. In consistent personal ne
iigion there Is something So in
trinsically loving and winning that the
most wicked profoundly RESPECT aud vener-
ate it. However far men may, i'll heart and
life, depart from God, their reason and con-
science will always condemn their course,
and with awe and admiration approve the
conduct Of those who follow Christ fully.
Would you then inspire the unconverted,
with the highest appreciation Of your re-
ligion? Would you win hearts for the Mas
ter? Then away from the dust Of SELF
seeking, and put on the shining gar
ments Of salvation. In this way your
piety will become converting, because it is
attractive. Personal religion not only re-
moves objections, but is the most powerful
appeal to the consciences Of the unbelieving.
The consistently religious man says to the
ungody, more eloquently and urgently than
all others: owe are iourneying unto the
place of which the Lord said, will give it
you. Come thou with US. and we will do
thee good. "-lChicago Watchman-

Prohibition at Washington.

The temperance people have determined, il
possible, to make the District of Columbia an
experimental garden in which to propagate
their notions of moral and social reform.
The Prohibition bills are being pushed with
good deal of enthusiasm before the commit
tees of the two houses The Senate District
Committee has proceeded so far as to send
Senator Platt's bill to prohibit the manu-
facture and sale of spirituous and intoxicat-
ing liquors to the District Commissioners for
information as to the extent and character Of
the liquor traffic here for the past five years.
The bill provides that at the expiration Of e1-
listing licenses none shall be issued for the sale
of any kind Of liquor to be drank on the
premises-not even cider-and it forhids even
the giving away Of liquor, except on the pre-
scription Of regular physician to regular
druggist, and records of all prescriptions are
to be delivered to the District Commissioners.
Wine for sacramental purposes can only be
obtained on a certificate, in writing, Of the
pastor, and it can be delivered to no other
person but the pastor. The penalties are heavy
fines and imprisonment The bill, of course,
will not at present become a law; its oppo-
nents are skilled enough in obstructive tao
tics to prevent its passage But it will cause
inconvenience to a good many public men
here before it finally reach the pigeon-hole
in which it win sleep the sleep that knows no
waking. There is no subject as to which pub
lie men exhibit so little moral courage as that

There can be no greater happiness, says the
Central Christian Advocate, than to help
those who are in need; and the world is full
to overfowing of such opportunities There
are always some not far away from Us in
n ed Of bread ami the commonest charities
of life to whom we may minister Of our
abundance and have Gods blessing on our
well-doing. The highest record that one can
make is, 'tHe went about doing good." There
are various kinds of well-doing that fall into
this general classification, but we nay do
Gods work in one as we'll as in another.
Whichever, therefore, presents itself Ill the
propidential order should be accepted as de-
manding our attention, and with such cheer
fulness as,to win the confidence Of those to
whom we administer. For when it is evident
that such work comes from the heart and is
done for Christ's sake there can bern no argu-
ment against it. Gods care Of the needy
comes largely through human instrument
tality, and we are to- De the willing iustru-
rents of it.

The Woman Man.Eater In Kentucky.

Very few people IN Louisville know
that Fiji Islander, agenuine man eater,
lives in their midst, but it is SO. She,
for it is q woman and nameless--is.a
very strauge-appearing character, and it
is worth long walk to take a peep at
her cannibalship. "Spotty Johnny"
as the man-eater has been called, may be
found at any hour of the day or night at
the little cottage of Patrick Cain, an
engineer on the Newport News and
Mississippi Valley Railway. She never
goes farther away from home than the
Immediate neighborhood in which. she
lives, and is quite as inoffensive a per-
SON.. thought not quite as beautiful per-
haps, as one would care to meet.
"Spotted Johnny" was brought to this
country IN 1872 from the FIJI Islands,
along with small band of her people,
by Forepaugh of circus fame. She ran
away from her captors while the show
was in Pottsvillc, Pa, and no one knows
how she got to Nashville, where she
was finally discovered doing drudgery,
the only sort of work she seemed capable
of. for a family that had taken the
fantastic and repulsive outcast In out OF
the cold. An effort was made by the
circus people to reclaim her, but Johnny
did not like the idea, and expressed her.
self 80 forcibly that her friends sent the
circus men about their business. o..
At this time Johnny ate raw meat
with avidity, and cared for little else.
Now she is vegetarian, and scarcely
ever touches meat, though she eats fish.
She wears clothing just as any one else
in her position would. She Is very
much devoted to Mrs. Gains children,
and they are equally fond of her. The
family with whom the escaped cannibal
had taken refuge in Nashville, removed
to distant city, leaving Johnny with
Mr.. and Mrs. Cain, who were then living
in the Tennessee capital. This was more
than five years ago. At first Mrs. Gains
children were much afraid OF their
strange servant, but this was soon con-
CURED by the mildness of her manner
and her simple devotion: Her inteil!-
gcnce is of a very low order, and she IS
able to perform only the plainest labor;
The children of the neighborhood, and
some of the older ones, too, for that mat
ter, stand considerably in awe OF the
strange being, but as she seldom leaves
the house, and interferes with no one,
but little is ever seen or heard OF her,

A Famous Marble.

A Raleigh, North Carolina, correspond
dent of the st. Louis Globe Democrat
gives some interesting "reminiscences in
regard to Canova's celebrated statute of
Washington, which was ordered by the
State of North Carolina in 1915, COM
pleted in 1920, brought over to- this
country by the frigate Macedonia, and
placed in the rotunda of the Capitol at
Raleigh with impressive ceremonies. 1t
was considered by many altogether the
finest artistic representation Of Washing
ton in the world. The correspondent re-
calls its fate to mind: SIN 1880 workmen
one windy day were on the roof OF the
Capitol with furnace for heating solder.

Goals was blown into the woodwork and
soon the building was in flames. Nothing
could be done except save some Of the
records. People who looked through
the doors leading to the rotunda could
Don only see the curling flames, and
then. as a gust of wind blew them aside,
the statue, still white and grandly calm.
Presently, with crash, the roof and
rotunda walls fell in. In and instant
the statue was wreck. AS soon as pos
sible the ruins of the building were
cleared away. The statue was so cal
cined by the fervent heat that much of
it crumbled to powder at touch. The
head was never found. 1t was long be-
lievcd, however, that it had been stolen,
and large rewards were offered for 1t.
The fragments were stored away IN an
clubhouse. Years later, when the present
stately Capitol was completed they were
put a closet. They have remained until
now. The torso is in fair preservation
and is less ca!cined than any other por-
ton. The carving is inimitable. Turn

A Glimpse Into the Near Future.

The sensation Of the hour Is the very rapid
and effective way In which Prohibition has
been brought to its elimination. This terri
bic evil and poison Of alcohol, which has
proved a blasting, blighting, and whitening
curse that has fastened its poisonous fangs on
large proportion of the human family; this
poison that has been for centuries nurtured
and cherished as one Of the best gifts to man,
and has become the very embodiment Of good
cheer and the highest evidence Of civilized
ife-and this, too, while bringing in its train
all the misery and wretchedness to which hu
manity is liable-now stands exposed in its
true character. Like some evils attending
our most exquisite pleasures, it was supposed
that only an immoderate use, or, rather, an
undue indulgence, was the cause Of all the
bad consequences that flowed from it. But
Science comes in with her exquisite touch of
truthfulness, and 10 this supposed elixir OF
life in its very nature and essence is proven to
be the most obnoxious enemy of mankind-a
malignant poison to be Stunned as one of the
most pestilential fevers or contagious dis
eases, and the curse of all curses.
A few words of intelligent explanation, ="
few definite illustrations of how, when ana
where this poisonous compound was pro
duced, and what its inevitable and final
effects are on the human system, and thc
whole civilized world stands aghast, a horror
seiZes hold OF the mind and intelligence o:
the people, and everybody assumes an atti
tude of heroic opposition to its further use.
and even to its liberation, among the
remedial antidotes for human ailment. Pro

Buffalo Farming.

Much has been written about the terri
BILE loss of life in the Northwest during
the recent blizzard being due to the
scarcity of buffalo robes, which con-
tribute the only defense against the
rigors of that country. 1t is true that
buffalo robe or coat is now beyond the
reach of those with slender purses, and 1t
is true that for certain purposes the
buffalo hide and fur are superior 10 any
others This leads me to the suggestion
that If some of the great cattle kings of
the West would give up raising cattle
and 60 into buffalo farming they would
find it a immensely profitable business.

find market in the cities, and the refuse
