PecuIiaritie. of the Japanese Bath

To their credit, be 1t said, Japs arc regular whales at bathing, and usually when not drinking tea are bathing. Their only trouble In life seems to be their inability to enjoy both these de- lights at the same time. If some American trick swimmer could teach the Japs how to swallow tea out of a bottle while under water, they would build a tin temple round him, burn in- cense made of old rags and bones un- der his nose and worship him.
 Public baths are numerous in which mixed bathing" was practiced until lately, but now a bamboo fence sepa- rates the sexes, though it does not screen them from view, the fence be- ing only two feet high in bathhouses in the interior of Japan. Some homes have wooden bathtub, circular shape with a stove built in one end, which heats the water. The whole family, beginning with the father, bathe in the same water. Sometimes women tub" themselves and their children outside their doors in the streets where sidewalks should be.

And now my words are 10 the invisi- ble multitudes l reach week by week, but yet will never see In this world, but whom l expect to meet at the bar of God and hope to see in the blessed heaven. The last word that Dwight l.. Moody, the great evangelist, said to me at Plainfield, N. J., and he repeated the message for me to others, was, "Never be tempted under any circum- stances to give up your weekly pub lication of sermons throughout the world" That solemn charge I will heed as long as have strength to give to take them. Oh. ye people back there in the Sheffield mines of England, and ye in the sheep pastures of Australia, and ye amid the pictured terraces of New Zealand, and ye among the cin- namon and color inflamed groves of Ceylon, and ye Armenians weeping over the graves of murdered house. holds in Asia Minor, and ye amid the idolatries of Benares on the Ganges, and ye dwellers on the banks of the Androscoggin, and the Alabama, and the Mississippi, and the Oregon, and the Shannon, and the Rhine, and the Fiber, and the Danube, and the Nile, and the Euphrates, and the Caspian and Yellow seas; ye of the four corners of the earth who have greeted me again and again, accept this point blank offer of everything for nothing, of everything of pardon and comfort and illumination and safety and heav. en, without money and without price" What gospel for all lands, all zones, all ages! Gospel of sympa- thy, Gospel of hope! Gospel of eman- cipation. Gospel of sunlight! Gospel of enthronement! Gospel of eternal victory! Take 1t, all ye people, until your sins are all pardoned, and your sorrows all solaced, and your wrongs all righted, and your dying pillow be spread at the foot of a ladder which, though like the one that was let down to Bethel, may be thronged with de scending and ascending immortals, shall nevertheless have room enough for you to climb, foot over foot, on rungs of light till you go clear up out of sight of all earthly perturbation in- to the realm where 'the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest"

LAWMAKERS MEET.
Short Session of III Fifty-sixth Con-
gress Besins-President's
Message Read.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The opening of
the session in the house was brilliant
but not exciting. There were the usual
throngs in the galleries and the usual
display of floral pieces on the floor, but
the proceedings were purely formal,
consisting of the rapping to order by
the speaker, prayer by the chaplain,
the roll-call of members, the appoint
ment of the formal committees to wait
on the president and the reception and
reading of the presidents message.
Despite the fact that a great presiden-
tial campaign had concluded within a
month. the best of feeling seemed to
prevail between ~victors and vanqufshed.
The reading of the message, which nat
urally was the feature of the day, oc-
cupied over two hours. 1t was listened
to with respectful interest by both
sides. The deaths of the late Repre-
sentatives Daily IN. J.) and Hoffecker
(Del.), and Senators Davis (Minn.) and
Gear (Ia.) were announced, and, as a
further mark of respect to their mem.
cries, the house adjourned until to.
day
Washington, Dec. 4.-When the sen.
ate convened it was within the shadow
of the death of two of it's most dis
tinguished members. Since the SEN
ate last convened a great national
campaign had been inaugurated and
conducted to a conclusion, and as
senators assembled they exchanged
political greetings as we'll as the
warm handclasps of personal friend
ship. A notable meeting on the floor
just before the session opened was
that between Senator's Hanna CO.,
and Jones (Ark.), the chairmen, re-
spectively, of the republican and dem
ocratic national campaign commit
tees. Surrounded by many of their
colleagues, they exchanged cordial
greetings and laughed and chatted for
several minutes.
The presidents message was read
and the death of Senator's Gear and
Davis was announced. Appropriate
resolutions were adopted and as an
additional mark of respect for the
memories of Senator Gear and Sena-
tor Davis, the senate at 3:45 p. m.
adjourned.
Washington, Dec. 6.-Chairman
Payne, of the ways and means com
mittee, on Wednesday introduced the
bill reducing the taxation under the
war revenue act, after the republican
members of the committee had agreed
on the form of the measure and the
articles to receive the reduction of
tax. It is intended to have the full
committee act on the bill to-day, and
to put it through the house before
Christmas. The bill provides an ag-
gregate reduction estimated at $780,
900, 34S.

are found in herds and hordes in the

in many TOR maintenance of others. Great
numbers also work to acquire wealth.
Some for great commercial prominence.
Some to preserve intact splendid inheri-

Maintaining health is the most vital

Nervura blood and nerve remedy, as a
strengthened of the constitutional and
vital powers, is beyond all question. This
great remedy enters into partnership
with Nature and helps human beings do
their work without giving up to prema-

minds of some, on the bodies of others,
but the nourishing of either, or both, is
in the nerves and blood. Nervura acts
directly on the fountains of health and q
its strengthening power is wonderful.
