Schoolroom Ventilation.

Public indifference to hygienic require
ments was significantly illustrated lately
in busy manufacturing settlement in
the state or Massachusetts. The city OF
L had erected and equipped a costly
high :chool edifice with n corps of highly
paid instructors, to initiate in the moro
advanced branches of scholarship at the
public charge pupils of whom only a mi
nority could hope to utilize these expen-
sve accomplishments in everyday life.
All seems to have been regarded with
complacency until the charge for an I'M
usually complete ventilating apparatus
was encountered. One would have thought
that all pupils, whether or not able to solve
a problem in differential calculus or to
construe a line of Virgil, would have ex-
cellent use for their own bodies; but
neither this consideration nor the almost
infinitesimal magnitude of this particular
outlay-an outlay which. including cur
rent expenses and interest on capital.
was about half a cent per occupant
daily, in comparison with the strictly
scholastic expenses-sufficed TO reconcile
the DIRECTORS to such unheard-of ex-
travagance! Poverty of valid arguments
was compensated by strength of epithets,
and such expressions as cranky" and
visionary were freely applied 10 those
who had thought it improper that rooms
packed with adolescent humanity and
seldom, alas! quite free from victims of
contagious diseases, should be unpro-
vided with at least a sufiiciency of breath
ing air. The incident showed that even
in cultured New England there was a
minority-fortunately, a minority only
not yet emancipated from tho medieval
fantansy which condemned nature, and
which regarded the soul and the body as
hostile entities, both indeed corrupt. but
the latter only hopelessly so. and fit only
to be "mortIfied" and suppressed. A
strange Infatuation, surely, TO have held
it's ground for nineteen centuries. i'm face

Gators of Hellas in the harmonious de-
velopment of every faculty and every
sense George III. Knight, in the The

Origin of the Hebrew Sabbath.


Though it is quite possible that the Is
raelites may have invented a seven-day
week and weekly Sabbath spontane-
ously, like the Tshi and Ga tribes, yet the
evidence of the books of the Old Testa-
ment goes to show that they borrowed
both these institutions from the Baby
lonian Assyrians during the captivity, and
that prior to that epoch they had, like the
Mendis, Bechuanas, and Sofalese, only a
monthly Sabbath, which was the festival
of the new moon. No mention of a weekly
Sabbath is to be found in Joshua, Judges,
the books of Samuel, or the first book of
Kings. After Deuteronomy, v, Is, no
mention of a weekly Sabbath is found till
we reach III. Kings, w., %, and the word
Sabbath does not appear either in Psalms
or proverbs. But there is more than a
mere omission to mention a weekly Sab
bath in the old historical books; there is
evidence that the institution was I'M
known, for many occurrences are de-
scribed by which the weekly Sabbath, had
it existed, must have been violated. DER
leo was encompassed for seven days in
succession, which must, therefore, have
included one weekly Sabbath Joshua, vi,
1916. During the events narrated in /.
Samuel, xxx. and xxx, David was on the
ihdICu lot l. QdyS III SuCCeSSlOu, WllnOul
any day of rest being observed, and, since
Solomon gave feast to the people of
Israel which lasted IA days Il. Kings, viii,
60, and III. Chronicles, viii, 81. and so
must have included two Sabbaths. he
must have known nothing of the injunc-
ton that on the Sabbath every man was
to abide in his own place Exodus, xvi,
29). Elijah must likewise have broken
the rest of several weekly Sabbaths q.
Kings, XIX, Z, g. In the the article on
Marriage and Kinship Among the
Ancient Israelites" we gave several valid
reasons for supposing that the Levitical
law was not compiled until about the
period of the Babylonian captivity, and
this ignorance of the institution of the
weekly Sabbath on the part of those who
must have known about it, had it existed,
is an additional reason. We cannot sup
pose that the Sabbath rest was wilfully
broken, for its violation was considered
so grave a crime as to be punishable with
death.-Col. A. b. Ellis, in the Popular
Science Monthly for January.

TO HELP THE CHURCH.
New Religious Publication Started in
Great Fails.

Great Falls.
GREAT FALLS, Jan. 3.-The Great Falls
Chmchmdn is the name of a new journal
in this city. 1t is a religious publication
edited by Rev. Mr.. WATSON of the Episco-
pal church of this city, and will chronicle
the doings and promote the interests of
the church. The initial number an
nounces that hereafter tho ladies of the
church will abandon the custom of raising
money for the church by means of the
stereotyped 'church entertainments" In
an able argument the editor advances
several reasons showing why the custom
should be done away with. The back bone
of his argument is that the time-honored
habit of raising money by such methods is
wrong, or at least, not quite right. He
asserts that the entertainments withdraw
the attention of the churches from their
true spiritual mission and places en-
phasis on temporal features which should
be secondary and incidental. He says:
Even good Christians forget how to
give willingly with their hearts and learn
10 expect a part payment in the way of
entertainment for their gifts. Its advice
to make people of other churches and of
no church support our work instead of
doing it ourselves. Consequently we lose
the respect of the community and our
model influence is impaired"
1t is hardly necessary to state that the
new idea has struck responsive chord in
the breasts of a majority of the latter,
who of late have been surfeIted at church
entertainments. The ChlTchmdn will be
issu ed monthly.

Bank Robbers Caught in the Very
Act.
CHARDoN, Ohio, Jan. "A daring at
tempt was made early this morning to rob
the First National bank here. Phillips
and Taintor, sleeping up stairs, were
awakened by hearing the cracksmen at
work. They secured revolvers and
started down stairs. The burglars
opened fire on them, Taintor and Phillips
responded and the craftsmen ran to
sleigh near by and drove away. The vault,
although damaged, was not opened.

The Total Receipts Of Oil and
Bone Are Smaller Than
Formerly.
An Indication That the Great Fish,
Like the Seal, Are Passing
Away.

OF the 1895 whaling fleet fifteen vessels
are in port. and the harvest among the
big fish amounts to 4147 barrels of oil ano
104, ,595 pounds of bone. Of the other
eighteen blubber-hunters three were lost
on the Alaskan coast and fifteen will re-
main at winter quarters in the north.
The following are the home-comers and
the order of their arrival in this port:
Cape Horn Pigeon, 92O barrels oil and 5000
pounds bone; steamer Thrasher, 100 barrels
oil and 1900 pounds bone; Rosario, 5000
pounds bone; Horatio. 80 barrels oil; steamer
Narwhal, 170 barrels oil and 145 pounds bone !;
steamer Orca, 80 barrels oil and 2650 pounds
bone; c. w. Morgan, 1900 barrels oil and 500
pounds bone; Alice Knowles, 216 barrels oil
and 4720 pounds bone; Lydia lao barrels oil
and 1000 pounds bone; Hidalgo, empty; Cali
fornia, 20 barrels oil and 800 pounds bone
bone; Mermaid, 100 barrels oil and 1000
pounds bone; steamer William Bayliss, 160
barrels oil and 400 pounds bone; Gayhead,
$50 barrels oil and 5000 pounds bone.
The tenders to the feet brought down
35 barrels of oikand 60, 1886 pounds of bone
There were also taken 4415 pounds of
ivory.
This years catch, with the exception of
1876, when only seven vessels took $500
barrels of oil and $500 pounds of bone is
the smallest in twenty-five years. The
largest catch was in 1887, when forty-one
vessels took $4,000 barrels of oil and 603,-
400 pounds of bone. The receipts of oil,
bone and ivory here since 1874 are as fol-
lows:

even among the ice-foes of the almost in
accessible north. Few of the larger whales
are now caught because, as an old blubber-
hunter recently observed, There is none,
the whale having no time to grow" The
present price of bone is 81 pound, but it
is doubtful whether the decrease of supply
will raise the price, as the market is being
hooded with an imitation only little in

the whale feet will have gone to the bone

Eating the wrong things, and too much
OF them at the wrong time, gives the
stomach and the other digestive organs
too much to do-gives them work that
they cannot be expected to do. Such
things prevent the free and regular ac-
ton of the bowels, bring sick headaches,
biliousness, kidney troubles, restless
sleep, lassitude, nervousness, and plant
the seeds of disease in all parts Of the
body. Health comes Just as easy as dis
ease. 1t grows up from those little sugar
coated seeds of health - DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They are for nothing
IN the world but to keep the bowels reg
ular, the stomach free from gas and fer
mentation, and the liver active.
They go about their business without
making any fuss. They are very gentle
IN their action and cause no gripping, or
other unpleasantness
They do not take the place of Nature
they merely help her. No one ever
becomes slave to their use. When the
digestive action becomes regular and Wig
orous-stop taking the Pellets" When
you have eaten too much = take one
When constipation shows itself and head
ache begins take the pellets" for a
day or two.
