not pleased by what he saw: 1.-THE day

wandered forth as one Of those cloudy
mornings which mark the Judean
springtime was breaking. A little cor

before me, dragging their crosses over
the rough old pavements and followed
by a group Of women and early rising
vagabonds. As they vanished from
view and prepared to bid adieu for
ever to the Holy City, which had en-
tered SO hopefully, feeling Of intense
sadness at my unbelief oppressed me,
for the event which renewed the world.

Religious Texts - Advertisement.

ASVA1&bO0O ACANo - <AuVCTt10C e0tl
A wealthy religious man Of Glasgow,
Scotland. recently requested of the
street car companies the privilege OF
printing Scripture texts on the back Of
the tickets used by the workingmen in
the commission hours. But no sooner
was the privilege extended to him than
the car companies got into hot water.
They were charged with discriminating
against the workingmen by assuming
that they needed texts more than the
people who used the cars ut other hours
of the day. They tried to explain the
matter, but 1t was Of no use. And to
settle the difficulty they were obliged
to print the Scripture texts as though
they were paid advertisements. So
now the texts are printed like this

DR.. Walter t. Scheel, an expert chemist
and bacteriologist, when asked by the re-
porter what effect the consumption of
tainted eggs was likely to have on the
health, said:
The moment that putrefaction begins
in an egg the generation of sulphuric acid
gas begins. This gas when taken into the
system, will generate many kinds of disor-
ders. TyphuS and bilious and intermit-
tent fevers most usually result. One can
eat meat or game that is what we call passe
without running any great risk, but he
cannot do the same with the eggs. The
use Of such eggs, in my opinion, may be
responsible for the frequent outbreak of
typhus and other fevers in the tenement
districts. New York Journal
