We must improve the tenement

children can be saved. They are
not being saved; they are passing
from bad to worse; the church has
almost deserted them, and nothing

Christian sentiment that will not rest

such as will give the divinity within
them some chance TO grow. To help
our brother today we must both
study his misfortunes and take off our

the work to be done to-day can be
done only by converted church.

Professor Co4-let us call him-was
thoroughly in earnest As a scientific
worker. Every event that he observed
was made 20 add something TO his
knowledge or to illustrate some truth
already learned.
His readiness TO make passing events
teach practical lessons was well shovn
by an incident that occurred day
in the lecture room
Placed before the class machine
by which some gas was being Iquehed
in a heavy east steel cylinder by cold
and enormous pressure. Suddenly there
was a terrible crash as pieces of the
cylinder were hurled violently in every
direction. Glass was shattered, p4as-
tering knocked down, filing the room
with dust, and general havoc reigned-
The condensed gas, suddenly freed
from pressure. rushed out like a stream
Of snowfiakes, adding decidedly to the
general effect Of storm and destruction
Luckily nobody was hurt, but two sec
onds after the explosion every man in
the class was scrambling for the door
over chairs, settees and whatever else
was N the way.
At the door a few of the students
pansed, and then they heard Professor
Cox calling. in the calmest possible
tones, for them 10 return
Looking back they dimly saw the
professor, a crayon in each hand, stand
ing amid the ruins before the big black
board, which he was fast covering with
the figures Of elaborate calculations.
A moment later he began TO lecture
as quietly as ever, describing fully why
the explosion occurred, the amount OF
work done by it and the different ways
In which this work had been expended
In conclusion he said:
'Gentlemen, never be so excited by
any event that you cannot observe II

] Il Is the practice Of some writer's Of
serial stories to begin the publication OF
their romances before the end Is written
In the early stages Of the story they do
not know any better than the public
who read it how they are coming out"
This is especially the case in France
where nearly every newspaper has a
feuiIleton or department in which a
continued story is published.
: Il Is related by NJ. Aurelien Schon
that when Paul Duplesss was publish
