the general or local elections next month
In some political circles the opinion is ex-
pressed that this agreement is the result
of discomfort, caused by the fact that the
autonomist government has been unable
to give employment to the excessive num-
ber of people who have been seeking po-
sitions in the government offices. The

The Origin of "Eaukee Doodle.

nations. 1t was known in England as
"Nankee Doodle" in the time of Charles
l. The Hollanders had an old song to
this air called "Ysnker Dudel'. 1t is said
to be also an old French vintage song, a
native Hungarian air. and the ancient
music OF the sword dance of the Bis
cayans.
In June, 1855, DR.. Richard Schuck burgh
regimental surgeon under General Brad
dock, thought to play joke on the
ragged, tattered Cohtinentais by palming
off the "Nankee Doodle" of the time of
Cromwell upon the Colonial soldiers as
the latest martial music. 1t at once
became popular, but quarter of cen
fury later the joke seemed turned when
the Continental bands played this same
yankee Doodle" as Lord CORVALLIS
marched out after surrendering his army,
his sword and the English colonies in
America to the Iankees.-Ladies' Home

country. The plan is to require all chill

O'Clock in winter The reduction of ar

been 70 per cent. May we be speedily
delivered from false notions of liberty
which do not give young people the

much need. Young people who receive

MARSHALL is the very best of all in quail

said, while the color is deep beet red

Either mistake was made in the label

Set plants well apart, shade them till
well rooted, have the ground very rich,
keep as clear of weeds as your back and
your time will allow, and if you don't
have good crop it must be on account

Here are two more "handy things to
use about the house-a whisk broom and a

clean out the corners, also to clean corners

Topic For the Week Beginning May Is.
Comment by Rev. S. III. Doyle.
ToPIC.-Our bodies God 3 temples. i Cor. iii.
1873. "a temperance topic.)
Christians, both collectively and in
dividually, are referred to in the Scrip
lures as the temples Of God. 1t is we'll
for us to remember that not only as
churches but also as individuals we are
Gods temples. The Corinthians were
forgetting the former. Factions and
fontentions were marring the church of
Christ, and Paul asks them if they did
not know that they, as church, were
the temple of God, and reminded them
that God destroyed those who defled
his temple. We may forget that our
bodies are the temples of God. God S
habitation, Gods dwelling place, and
may dehle them, but We should not for
get it. 1t is too important fact to be
forgotten, and its constant remem brance
would be a strong barrier to deflement.
Who either by meat or drink could de1ile
his body while he remembered that it
was the temple of God?
/. The body. as God $ temple, should
be dedicated to God. 1t should be given
to Him. Both the tabernacle and the
temple were dedicated to God when
com pleted. The body should be dedicat
ed to God. 1t should be used in His
service and for His work. and if so dedi-
Gated and so used it could not become
the tool of appetite or of passion. 1t
would be used temporarily in all the re-
lations of life.
2. The body as Gods temple should
be the dwelling place of God in the per-
son Of His Holy Spirit. The temple was
the dwelling of God. 1t was not erected
as a place of meeting for the people,
but as house for God to dwell in and
there at the mercy seat in the holy Of
holes He dwelt. 1.-The spirit of God,
says Paul, "dwelleth in you" Gods
Holy Spirit makes our weak and imper-
feet bodies His habitation, His dwelling
place. What condescension! But how
can He dwell where there is sin or de-
Element?
8. Our bodies as Gods temples
should be free from deflement. IF
any man defile the temple of God, him
will God destroy" This was the law
in Old Testament times. Those who de-
fled God s dwelling place were punished
by Him. The sacredness of Gods tenn
pie had to be emphasized, and it always
was Wherever God dwells there should
be no defilement and no uncleanness.
II, therefore, He dwells in our bodies,
they should be every whit clean. The
tongue, the hands, the heart, every Or
gan of the body, should be kept clean
and pure for Gods spirit. This would
make intemperance in any direction i'm
possible - intemperance in Thought,
speech or action. 1t would forever de-
stroy drunkenness lust, passion, excess
i've worldliness or whatsoever would
tend to make unclean or to defile.
May this be our aim-to live life of
such purity that our bodies may be fit
dwelling place for God Holy Spirit.
