Alcohol In Cold Weather.

A scientist thus explains why it is so
dangerous to use alcohol in the polar
regions: A moderate use OF alcohol
causes a deposit Of fat. Alcohol is not
turned into fuel in the muscle and nerve
cells, but serves as pure fuel in the
organism and replaces the combustion
of fat. Alcohol is, therefore, dangerous
in the extreme cold because it assists
the throwing off Of heat in a great de-
gree. The effect is as if a stove in a
room should be heated redhot and then
all the doors and windows thrown open.
Heat produced by muscular work in the
body is best obtained from carbohy-
drates in the food, but, besides this, the
indispensable production of heat is best
obtained by fats This explains the in
stinctive choice of the food Of men. In
the tropics they eat little fat and much
fruit, while the polar dweller requires
immense quantities Of fat to keep up
the bodily combustion. - New YORK

The Indwelling Christ.

The general topic for December is
"The Indwelling Christ. " Each week
some particular phase of this subject
will be presented in the Scripture read
ings and topic. The whole theme IS one
deserving careful thought by every
member of the League, and, in FACT py
every Christian.
This is more than the idea OF incarna-
ton. 1t is glorious and mysterious
truth that the divine One has taken
human form and united Himself to hu-
man nature in new mode OF existence.
It is more thrilling still to know that
in this God Man there is presented 70
each one of us the possibility OF pardon
and peace with God. and that not only
Is Christ our redeemer, but He Is also
onr sanctifier. He is in some sense oui
example. AS He is, so are we TO De-
Devoted to God and possessed by his
mind. pervaded by His spirit we are
transformed into His likeness. we i've

UNENDING.

There Is an end 10 kisses and TO sighs:
There is an end 70 laughter and 20 tears,
An end 10 fair things that delight our eyes,
An end to pleasant sounds that charm our
ears,
An end TO enmity's foul libeling
And to the gracious praise Of tender friend:
There is an end TO all but one sweet thing
To love there Is no end.
That warrior carved an empire with his sword.
The empire now is but like bim-a name.
That statesman spoke, and by burning word
Kindled a nations heart into n flame.
Now naught IL left but ashes, and we br'ng
Our homage 10 new men: 10 them we bend.
There is an end to all but one sweet thing
To love there il no end.
All beauty fades away, or else, alasl
Men, eyes grow dim, and they no beauty see.
The glorious shows OF nature pass and pass
Quickly they come; as quickly do they fee,
And he who hears the voice of welcoming
Hears next the slow, sad farewell OF his
friend.
There is an end 20 all but one sweet thing
To love there Is no end.

with Burgoyne at saratoga.

In 1871 an officer who had served
with Burgoyne wrote volume, which
he called "Travels Through the Interior
Parts of America, In Series of Let
ters.' The writer was Thomas Anbu.
rev, captain of the Twenty ninth regi-
ment, who was with Burgoyne at his
surrender. In Macmillan's Magazine
there is an excellent notice of Captain
Anburey's work, and the condition OF
the English soldiers is thus explained:
Burgoyne's army was steadily dimin.
ishing, while the cords round it were
surely Tightening. Az day and night
from the surrounding woods whistled
the bullets of the American rifemen.
The soldiers were so Injured to fire, we
are told, that they ate and slept under
it with scarcely any concern, while, to
add terrors to the night, came the drearJ
howl Of wolves, attracted by hundreds
to such an unwonted banquet. The
American sharpshooters were naturally
in their element upon the steep sides OF
| the wooded ravines that formed such a
| feature in every battle and skirmish.
The longed for bayonet hung in idle
ness from the belts of the British in
fantry-there was no room or place for
| it. The soldiers had nothing but disci-
pine and their native valor to make uI
for their immense inferiority in the use
of the rife to most of their foes, nor dc
we require Anburey's testimony to re
alize what a hopeless country was THU
in which Burgoyne's army now found
themselves for the conduct of warfare
upon European systems. For ourselves
we have always marveled at the fashion
in which the British soldier of tina
day, half starved and ridicuAousl!
clothed, fought his way through snperi
or numbers of his own race as wei
armed as he, better marksmen and ia

Armenian Persecution.

What emphasis is given the League
lesson this week in the sufferings of this
Christian people at the hands of the IA
NAUTICAL Mohammedans! In other ages
and lands as fearful sufferings have been
inflicted and no word Of protest or SYM
pathy been spoken by the nations look
ing on. What q storm OF indignation
has swept the civilized world in these
last few months at the atrocities OF the
"unspeakable Turk" All this shows
the progress of Christian thought and
the acknowledgements of the race under
the influence of Scriptural ideals. The
Armenians are not more wronged than
were Waldenses, Albiaenses, Hussltes
and hosts Of others, but the world has
advanced. Whatever the political dill
culties of the eastern question, the hu-
manity and Christianity OF the world
demands of the rulers of the great ma,
tions the correction of these wrongs and
outrages and security for Armenians
and all other peoples in their God given
rights.
This sentiment will win whether the
sublime porte stands or falls.
This sentiment is the fruit or the COS
mel of God in Hebraism and Christian
ity.

EPWORTH LEAGUE.
Lesson For the Week beginning Jan. 81.
Comment by Rev. w. j. Yates, A. M.
Topic. Temporal blessings That
Follow Christianity.
soRirrunn REApNo.-Isa. TX. 1922.


SCRIPTURE READINa.-Isa. TX, I7-22
A favorite way for nation to enrich
itself both in ancient and modern times
has been by conquest. The products of
others toll plundered from them takes
the place of the products of their own
industry. There seems to be a passion
in human nature to live by the work Of
some one else. Freedom for the few
seems possible to secure only by slavery
of the many. Wealth, ease, happiness,
culture and liberty belong to the noble
few who have strength TO get and abil-
ity TO hold them. Poverty and privation
must ever be the lot of the mass, and the
weak must serve the strong.
Christianity, indeed the whole teach
ing of the Jewish Scriptures, exposes
the falsity of this teaching. In moth
ing else is the contrast of heathenism
and Hebraism more seen than in this
practical principle of life. Right, not
violence, truth and not fraud, kindness
and not cruelty, are declared to be the
conquering forces of this present world.
The doom of all injustice is proclaimed
in trumpet tones by all the prophets
However venerable in practice or strong
ly intrenched in human regard, the
| false, the wrong, the impure, the UNI
just, must go under All the chariots
and horsemen of Egypt, all the archers
of Assyria and spearmen of Babylon,
cannot uphold the evil. The one strong
thing is right. The only good thing is
truth. The only happy course is love.
Jehovah has been patient. He is pre-
pairing people who shall be able to re-
ceive and distribute his bounty. They
must learn the principles and practice
of righteousness Toll is not a curse
but blessing. God works. His people
must work also. Idleness is not only
misery, it is sin. Power and possession
are to be used for benefit of others. Do
ing and giving to bless others is essen
tial life.
When once the people are able to SCI
and do this, then the stores of wealth
shall open to their use Gold shall re
place brass, silver shall shine wher
iron was, wood shall give way to bras
and stones to iron. The mighty ones
the rulers, shall be the peaceful an
not the strong armed. Righteousness
and not rapacity shall be the rule OF tn
officers. Safety and not destruction
praise instead of lamentation shall pre-
vail,

Cork Pavement.

The various discouragements Whlch
some Of the European cities have met
with in securing satisfactory street pave
ments have led to somewhat extensive
and, it would appear, encouraging eX-
periments with what is called cork
pavement, from the fact that cork Is
the most prominent ard essential IN
predient in the amalgam Of which 1t Is
composed. The pavement used IN vienna
consists of granulated cork mixed with
mineral asphalt and other cohesive sub
stances, compressed into blocks OF suit
able size and form. Among the numer,
Gus advantages set forth III Its behail
are cleanliness, noiselessness, durability
elasticity, freedom from slipperlness'
whether wet or dry, and moderate cost.
Unlike wood, too, it is nonabsorben'
and consequently inodorous 1t presents
the minimum resistance to traction ahe
being elastic under passing loads does
away with the vibration caused py
heavy teaming. The blocks are lmbed
ded in tar and rest upon concrete
base six inches thick. When taken VI
for examination, they have exhibited
when compared with new ones, a re
duced thickness by wear OF less thai
one-eighth inch, this i'll the case OF
section of a London street leading to tn
Great Eastern railway station, subJecte'
to continuous heavy traffic, the block
having been in use nearly two years.

The "Ears" of Insects,

The naturalists have not as yet been
able to answer the burning question,
Can bees hear? But their researches
along that line have resulted IN many
queer discoveries. Simply because bae
has no ears on the sides of his head It
is no sign whatever that he is wholly
without some sort of an auditory herve
This last assertion is proved by the fac.
that grasshoppers, crickets, locusts and
flies all have their ears situated in queer
places-under the wings, on the middle
of the body and even on the sides OF
their legs. The common house fly doei
his hearing by means Of some little rows
of corpuscles which are situated on the
knobbed threads which occupy the place
which are taken up by the hind wings
, of other species of insects. The garden
slug or shell-less snail has his organs Of
hearing situated on each side of his neck
and the common grasshopper has them
OH each of his broad fiat thighs. In
some of the smaller insects they are al
the bases of the wings, and in others on

Golden Nose.

Tycho Brahe, the famous Danish
mathematician, was known as the
wizard of the Golden Nose. F" While
at the university he lost his nose in
duel and replaced it with nasal organ
of gold, held in place by cement and a
pair of spectacles. This addition to his
countenance gave him very peculiar
appearance and caused him to be much
feared by the common people, who at
tributed to him many supernatural
powers, largely ON account OF his re-
markable nose.

PEOPLE WHO BUY ANCESTORS.
In Great Demand by Those Who Have Not
Invented Them.


"There is a regular trade done in old
portraits Of men in armor and women
in medieval costumes, said large
picture dealer to the writer. "They are
brought by persons who have made their
fortunes and want to persuade their
friends that they come OF an ancient

81 am frequently called upon to sup
ply these fictitious ancestors, and l find
that the portrait of gentleman In ar
mor--and armor is especially favored,
such as was worn about the time of Ed
ward will fetch almost any price, no
matter how crude it may be, SO long as
it has the old time tone.
"Only the other week man whose
manner spelled fortune from pork sau-
sages' applied to me for series of an
cestors. / had three old portraits on
hand at the time and offered them to
him. but he did not care about them be-
cause there was no armor. Could not
supply this deficiency? l said. YES,
and doubled the price of the pictures,
and he drew me a check for $3.50 with
avidity. Now he wants four more te

MANY upshot Americans who come
over here buy up the ancestors to taxi
home and palm off upon their friends
Indeed the demand for them has be
come so great that there are four or fiv'
portrait painters making comfortably
! incomes turning out forefathers.
"Of course you know that large guam
titles of ancient armor are made ever,
year in Sheffield and bought by tn
same class of people, with the same oh
ject as the pictures. 1t is fact, and

Of small slonp, his fishing excursions
sometimes extended far into the Sab
bath day. This did not meet with the
ideas Of those days, so he was fined sew

was threatened if he did not attend di-
vine worship regularly and cease his Ia

But enc dark night Meeker placed all
his goods on board his boat and sailed
away. He settled in New Jersey and
there erected the house which still
stands. The precise year in which 1t
was built is not known, but one OF MIR.
