The heavy rains last fall totally ruined
crops in some localities, and its effect is now
being seen in diseases among farm animalA
Almost every day cases Of roup, swelled head
and distemper very disastrous among poul-
try are reported A part of this is also due
to improper feeding Many persons think
as soon as cold weather comes on, they must
begin to feed heating food to their hens, like
corn meal, sc. The result OF this course is,
if they no not break down from the diseases
prevalent, they soon get very fat, look fine
and people wonder why they do not lay.
You cannot make a hen lay when every.
thing you give her is being transformed into
fat. and laying the foundation OF disease
same as with an over fed child or person.
Alfred T. johnson Hampton, n. H, says.
Last fall ! had 50 fine looking hens, which
began to dro0p and die; changed their food
and began using Sheridan's Powder; in three
weeks they were nearly we'll, and had in.

The Monroe nnetrIne

The collapse of the company which
undertook to construct the Panama
Canal, and the possibility of a prosecu-
ton of the enterprise by the French
Government, have called attention once
more to 1.-THE Monroe Doctrine which
is generally supposed to be hostile to
the interference of any European Govern
ment with the scheme.
What is the Monroe Doctrine,
The best way of answering this ques-
ton is to quote the words of President
Monroe himself, in his annual message
of 1923, when it was feared that Spain
and Portugal with the aid of the re-
stored BOurbons of France, were about
to send powerful expedition to recon
4uer Brazil and Columbia, and subject
them again to the powers from which
they had successfully revolted The
United States had acknowledged the
Independence of these countries. aud this
threatened attack was regarded BY Mr.
Monroe as aimed at Republican institu-
lions in general. He said in his mes
sage
1--WE owe it, therefore, to candor, and
20 the amicable relations existing be-
tween the United States and those pow
srs, to declare that we should consider
any attempt on their part to extend their
system to any portion of this hemisphere
az dangerous TO our peace and safety"
Again, in the same message, and
evidently still referring not TO the pos
session Of parts of America by European
but to the introduction OF
forms on American soil, he
said:
at is impossible that the allied pow
trs should extend their political system
to any portion of either Continent NORTH
or South America) without endangerina
our peace and happiness. y You'll /

The Presbyterian relates that at the vii

The GospeI of Love.

An eminent minister of the gospel was
criticised because he did not preach the law
Of God but only and always the love of

G On rseS48t truly repent of

SIN. But on the contrary, it was found t5af
the more sinners realized the love of Christ
in dying for them the deepar and more in
tense was their hatred OF sin Sin was to
them not simply the violation of law. but
that abominable thing which nailed their
Savior to the accused tree. 1t is well. of
course, TO present all the doctrines of the
Bible IN due order and prop rtion. The old
preachers were very systematic They pre-
sented in their sermons at least once a wear
the whole body of divinity Their theory
was that the p ople must be indoctrinated in
order to be saved. But the great truths Of
the evangelical system are so vitally con-
nected with each other that if one is received
It will bring in all the rest; if one is stimu-
lated it will quicken all the rest. That is not
always one-sided which seems so. There is a
difference between pulling the oar on one
side of boat and squirting on one side of a

When God wants testimony He often So
lects His proudest foes. The cause of mis-
slons Is now receiving the firesiof the enemies
Of Christianity. The battle RACES on every
side of the citadel of truth, now on one side
and now on the other, but from them all God
organizes victory. Truth compels honest
natures 70 surrender, disc0mfits others and
sllences d ceivers. I his time it is an honest
nature who surrenders before the light that
manhness can no longer resist. The notorious
Paul Bert while in France was vindictive
mtdel and denounced every form and shade
OF religion, and specially did lie raere AGAINST
all missionaries nd their efforts. Bat after

mony to the value Of missionary work

..Now He knows"

This was remarked OF a certain man whose
sudden death had been announced. HIS life
mad been prolonged to the age OF threescore
and ten years and beyond, during large
part of which time he had been an intidel.
Although his house joined hard by the sanct-
uary for many years, he had seldom, If ever
entered its doors on a Sabbath day-o>EJizs
neighbors in goodly numbers stately Assem-
bled for the worship of the living God but
he Persistently refused to join them. He was
an unbeliever, and cared for none of these
things But now he knows whether there is
a God to who6z he is accountable for all
the deeds done in the body. He knows
whether there is a Heaven and Hell, and
whether the Lord Jesus Christ is the only
Saviour. He knows whether the Bible is
the inspired Word of God and whether all
its teachings are true. But alasl he knows
too late to correct his mistakes. No man
need be an infidel who desires to know the
truth. Unbelief has its seat in the heart,
and not in the head No man who has it
in his heart to do the will Of God viii be
left in doubt as regards the great truths of
the Bible.-GOlden Rule

The main physical characteristics of
the whale are its distorted laws, with
upward directed nostrils, Its great bulk,
and rudimentary limbs. The huge bulk
of the creature is driven forward by the
flexible caudal fin, and while the body IS
rigid in front, it exhibits great mobility
behind. The blow-holes are placed on
the top of the head, and the animal can
ouly respire when these are above water.
The larger whales travel at the rate of
about four miles an hour, but when pur-
suing their prey, or goaded by pain,
they rush through the water at a much
greater pace. They are aided in this by
IL broad and powerful tail which is
their chief organ of locOmotion. Instead
of being vertical, as IN the fishes, this is
horizontal, and the larger species can
command immense driving power. The
tail Is also used as an offensive and de-
fensiye weapon. The smooth, sk1ning
skin IS Immediately underiaid by thick
coating of blubber, the great object of
the whalers. This is at once dense and
elastic, and, while it preserves the ami
nal heat, 1t also serves to reduce the
mighty bulk of the whale and to bring
- ASeANA ~ AAAb cHlCSAnN Eldh4Ll Vi the
element in which it spends its existence.
An interesting trait in the economy of
the whale is the manner in which it
suckles its young. In doing this it
partly turns on its SIDE. and the teats
being protruded, sucking and breatlsIng
can proceed simultaneously. Natural.
lists divide the cetacea into two divisions
represented by the ''wkalebune" and
''toothed" whales. In the former the
teeth are replaced by a series of great
plates of horny nature and these.
depending from the palate, constitute
the baleen-the whalebone of commerce.
The lamine which comprise this num-
Der, about 500, are ranged about two
thirds of an inch apart, and have their
interior edges covered with fringes of
hair. Some OF these attain to length of
fifteen feet. The cavity of a whales
mouth has been likened to that
of an ordinary ships cabin, and
inside the surface conveys the idea
of being covered with a thick fur.
The soft, spongy tongue is often mon
strOus mass ten feet broad and eighteen
feet long. 1t might be thought that the
whale, with its vast bulk, would want
sea creatures of high organization to
nourish it; but this is not so. Its chief /
food consists of minute mollusks-of /
medus'e and entOmostraca-and with {
these its immense pasture grounds in the
northern seas abound. In connection
with these Will be seen the beauty of the
mouth structure. ''Opening its huge
mouth" says Professor Huxley, and
the sea water, with its multi
tudinous tenants, to fill the oral cavity,
the whale shuts the lower Jaw upon the
baleen plates, and, straining out the
water through them, swallows the prey
stranded upon its vast tongue "-Satar-

Leprosr,s Prernlenee In India.

a good deal of attention has lately
been given in India to the grave question
OF leprosy. Statements in a Nineteenth
Century article are alarming. The au-
thor said that in the course of a six
months tour in India he had found
lepers in almost every town he had visit
ed, even though his stay in the place
might be only few hours duration. He
saw most CHASTITY lepers begging in the
streets; he met them in railway stations
in one small bazaar friend told him he
had counted twelve; he even heard of
one who was employed by an English
baker In the making of bread. More
over, it is estimated that all the conner
money of India has passed through The
hands Of lepers. The author found
man whose hands were covered with
ieprosy, engaged in the railway service
as ticket collector. Lepers, he asserts
with their revolving miseries fully ex,
posed, associate freely with the com
munity. l
1t has been stated by tie superintend-
ent Of the leper asylum in Calcutta that
Of those who assemble at the funeral
feasts of the wealthy natives fully one in
three IS leper. This asylum is gener-
ally oVercrowded, and the police bring
lePers who are dying to it in cabs, and for
whom 1t IS necessary to turn OUT less i'm
minent patients. In short, lepers in
India mix with people, go where thew
please, marry whom they choose, lead a
rowing life and thus continually become
fresh centers for propagating the disease.
The evil is so widespread that Lord
Dufferin said to the author of the paper.
one might almost as readily undertake
to nd India of its snakes as of its
Ieprosy.
