performed with great integrity. When
King James went out of England, he
laid down his office and would serve no
more, but withdrawing himself from all
public affaires he liv'd at Chapman

his clerk, in very noble house and
sweet place, where he enjoy'd the fruite
of his labors in create prosperity. he

of learned men, of whom he had the
conversation.

curiosities were Of the most consider
able, the models of ships especially.

feel the desire to help them, the i'm
pulse to put ourselves to cost to benefit
them. This is Christian service. Men
need friends as well as food. No hunger
is so imperative as soul hunger. Christ
came as friend to men and sends us
out to befriend the friendless.

EPWORTH LEAGUE.
Lesson For the Week Beginning Jan. 10.
Comment by Rev. w. j. Yates, A. Nj.
Topic, All Things New.

SCRIPTURE READIHG.-Rev. xxi. Ia.
To Nicodemus the words Of Christ re-
garding the new birth seemed full OF
mystery. Yet that which seemed so
strange to one reared in religion OF
forms, where the heart life and inner ma
ture of spirituality had been almost lost,
is now familiar truth since the Holy
Spirit has been in His fullness given to
dwell with and abide in men.
A lmost as strange as these spiritual
facts once seemed, so now appear to us
the prophecies of the future existence.
How many who profess to love Christ
look with dread upon death? Yet the
hope of all future glory lies beyond that
portal. Mysterious the heavenly reali-
ties must appear to us so long as we are
still in the body. Incomprehensible
must the experiences of existence in the
glorified bodies in the heavenly world
ever be while we are still confined tc
this earthly habitation. Full of glorious
anticipation for all of Gods children
however, are the promises Of Christ t.
make all things new.
In deep sense, the turning from
life of sin to the service of God is be
ginning Of new things. How much fulleI
of blessedness will be the passing from
earthly pain and sorrow, from tempta
ton and spiritual weakness, to the lif
of purity and unclouded vision OF God

A "Clean, Shave.

Nothing is easier than for contagion
to be conveyed from a diseased to
healthy skin during the act of shaving,
and many cases have now been recorded
proving that diseased processes have IN
this manner been propagated. Probably
the readiest manner available to the
barber for preventing such untoward
occurrences would be by sterilizing his
instruments by means OF heat, either
by steam or boiling water. Razors
should be made so that their handles
would not suffer from the exposure TO
high degrees of heat, and the rule should
be enforced that in no case should any
of the instruments" be used consecu-
lively without having first been submit
ted to the sterilizing process. Under
this rule, then, each customer would be
sure of having "clean" shave III more
senses than one. OF course, also, ON the
principle of "fresh pot OF tea for each
customer" freshly scalded out lather
not should be included with each shave
Unless these or similar precautions be
carried out in BARRIERS shops, cases OF
the conveyance of infectious skin DIS
eases from customer to customer can
not fail to occur. Medical Press

AN APPARENT SUCCESS.
New Rotary Engine For Which Much To
Claimed.


Claimed.
The geniIs Of Mr.. James A. Goodner,
assisted by Mr.. James M. Chritton, both
OF Mosca, Colo, has given great in
vention to the world.
The Eureka rotary engine, for which
patent No. 573, l79 was issued Dec. 10,
is proving "a mechanical wonder to all
who see it. During its stay at Pueblo
in October and November it was exam
ined by expert machinists from many
points i'm the west. The universal ver-
dict was that it stood without peer
among rotaries, a triumph long sought,
but never before realized.
The simplicity of its construction,
economy of material and space and the
fact that it utilities practically all the
power in steam before releasing it make
this invention one Of the most remarka-
BILE of its kind known.
A rotating valve or abutment is Sc
cured upon a shaft. A receivable disk
is placed upon shaft below and par.
allel with the first and bearing piston.
These two rotate in unison, forming one
engine. Any required number OF the
piston bearing disks can be keyed upon
the shaft, each added one greatly aug
menting the power.
The parts are so related that while
one piston is receiving live steam the
others are using it expansively, eaci
piston taking live steam in its turn
The space occupied by six horsepowe
rotary is l6 10y 16 inches, 90 inche
high. 1t will be fed by two half-incl
steam pipes, turn /, 500 revolutions pc
minute and weigh $50 pounds. Tb
uses to which it can be put are withou
limit. From a peanut rooster to Gu
nard liner it will fill every want. Th
economizing of time, space and meme
will, through this invention. enlarg
the use of steam power 10 an indefinlt
extent. Chicago Tribune.

A. She Viewed Her Presont.

An amusing incident occurred at
fashionable wedding IN London. One
friend, who determined to save her
money and credit at the same time, took
q broken earring TO famous jeweler OF
Bond street and ordered the little stone
to be set as IL scarfpin for the groom.
AS she sagely remarked, ut does me
no good, and coming from such a IA
nous establishment they are sure to
prize it and think l paid lot OF
money" When the package was re-
turned from the shop, the wedding guest
failed TO examine her proposed present,
and merely dispatched it with her card
and compliments. Imagine her disgust,
when strolling through the rooms where
the bridal gifts were displayed, to find
a dozen people about her offering, and
each one smiling. For moment she
hesitated, then pressed forward, and lo'
there was the precious white satin COW
