 L1fs's Experience.
 Tho first time crossed the Atlantic ocean it was as smooth as a mill pond, and thought the sea captains and the voyagers had slandered the old ocean, and wrote home an essay for mags- zine on "The Smile of the Sea-, but l never afterward could have written that thing, for before we got home we got 8 terrible shaking up. The first voyage Of life may be very smooth; the last may be eurocfydon. Many who start life in great prosperity do not end it in pros perity.
 The great pressure of temptation comes sometimes in this direction: At about 45 years of age 8 mans nervous system changes, and some one tells him he must take stimulants to keep himself up, and ho takes stimulants to keep him. self up until the stimulants keep him down, or man has been going along for 90 or 40 years in unsuccessful business. and here is an opening where by one dis honorable aotion he can lift himself and lift his family from all financial ember- rassment. He attempts to leap the ohasm, and he falls into it.
 Then it is in after life that tho great temptation of success comes. If . man make fortune before 30 years of ago, he generally loses it before 40. The sol i'd and the permanent fortunes for the most part do not come to their climax until in midlife or in old age. The most of the bank presidents have white hair. Many of those who have been largely succsaaful haxe been flung of arrogance CT worldhness or dissipation In old age. Thsy may not have lost their integrity, 1dt tAeY AaN l0onne 2 wpI2dly spd

But they put back to sea, and Captain Pen- dleton said to his mate, "You call me at 10 o'clock at night" At 12 o'clock at night the captain was aroused and said: What does this mean? thought I told you to call me at 10 o'clock, and here it is 12.' Why" said the mate, ''I did call you at 10 o'clock, and you got up, looked around and told me to keep right on the same course for two hours, and then to call you at 12 o'clock" Said the captain: "Is it pos sible? have no remembrance of that /"
 At 12 o'clock the captain went on deck, and through the rift of cloud the moonlight fell upon the sea and showed him shipwreck with 100 strug- gling passengers. He helped them off. Had he been any earlier or any later at that point of the sea he would have been of no service to those drowning people. On board the captains vessel they began to band together as to what they should pay for the rescue and what they should pay for the provisions "Ah, says the captain, "my lads, you can't pay me anything.

 Does not our common sense teach us that in matters of study it is better for us to move out from the center toward the circumference rather than to be on the circumference, where our would now isa We are like those who study the American continent while standing on the Atlantic beach. The way to study the continent is to cross it or go to the heart of it. Our standpoint in this world is defective. We are at the wrong end of the telescope.

We wear our eyes out and studying under such great disadvantage.

so selfish under the influence of large success that it is evident to every body that their success has been a temporal calamity and an eternal damage. Con corning many people, it may be said 1t seems as if it would have been better If they could have embarked from this life at 20 or 30 years of age.
 Do you know the reason why the vast majority of people die before 30? It is because they have not the moral endur- ance for that which is beyond the 30, and a merciful God will not allow them to be put to the fearful strain.

TRIBUTE TO THE QUEEN.
Stained Glass Window to He Placed In q
New York Church.

Stained Glass Window to he Placed In .
New York Church.
AS tribute Of respect to Queen Vic
toria, and in honor of the approaching
sixtieth anniversary of her accession to
the throne, the members Of the Anglo
American Free Church Of st. George the
Martyr propose to place a handsome
stained glass window in the Church Of
st. John the Evangelist, in whose build
ing, at Waverley place and West Elev-
enth street, New York, the former con-
gregation also worships. This parish
was organized in 1916 to build church
and hospital for British immigrants, and
it obtained a grant Of land ON Fifth ave-
nue., between Fifty-fourth and Fifty
fifth streets, upon which to erect the
church and hospital.
This property was subsequently trans
ferred to st. Luke's Hospital association,
a part Of the consideration for the trans
fer being that ward or wing capable
of holding 20 beds should be known
and designated as the ward Of st. George
the Martyr. For many years the con-
gregation worshiped here and there,
with no settled church of their own, un-
til more than ID years ago they united
for worship with st. John the Evangel-
list the Rev. B. F. De Costa serving as
pastor to both congregations
Ever since its foundation the people
of st. George the Martyr have held the
queen of England in tender memory and
have set apart certain days for services
in her honor, notably ON st. Georges
day and the queens birthday, when stat
ed prayers have been said. This, SO far
as is known, is the only church in the
United States where such recognition
takes place. 1t is hoped that the win
dow will have been completed so that it
may be put in position for the coming
anniversary. A large number of Anglo
Americans in New York have Interest,"
ed themselves in the matter. - New

"That science is now entering upon o
new and wonderful field fraught with
great possibilities, replied Mr.. Edison,
"is illustrated by the knowledge that
ti4sough the action Of the light stream

the sugar thereon some wonderful
change is brought about and that from
this sugar an unknown ray radiates out
into space and through our bodies, per-

Mr. Edison took the reporter into tho

swelled tQ double their normal size and

Since then he has been more cautious
with his experiments When too close

Mr.. Dalby of this manifestation Of tho
power of the K rays Mr.. Edison sug-
gested that possibly the rays might have
some action upon bacteria.

Professor Richard Gottheil, lecturing
at Temple EMANUEL, New York, ex-
pressed his belief that Palestine should
be colonized by Jews; that they are en-
tirely competent to make a strong agri-
cultural and industrial state, and that
the country can support such popula-
tion with case, as it formerly did. He
has a further theory-that Palestine
ought to be made purely independent
and neutral state, which should become

A LIKELY CHANGE.
The p, W. & B. Railroad Company Again
Considering the Strengthening of
Tracks Through Elkton and
Changing Location of the
Station.

Within the last few days representatives Of
of the p. w. & B. Railroad Company have
asked certain property owners on North street
to place valuation upon their properties
which are in the line of the change OF track
which has been under consideration through
Elkton for some time past OF course, the
representatives of the company are reticent
upon the subject, as is the policy in such
cases. but the probability is that if any
change is made that the track will be straight
ened from the iron bridge east of town in a
direct line to the mill bridge. the course OF
the track being across the center of the T. TX
ton Fair Grounds, entirely north of the town.
The course previously surveyed, however,
brought the track across the corner of the
Fair Grounds and but a short distance north
OF the present station, joining the present
track on the west at the tower
The line adopted will not be known in ad-
vance of the actual beginning of the work,
by anyone outside the councils of the COM
pany. The curve now existing at Elkton is
an extensive one and its taking out would
very much improve the line. The station
would then be located out North street
