A novel scheme adopted by the

country. Women may now receive by
mail advice and instruction in bring

a man once or twice in a whole minis
try. 1t was the last Sunday Of the
month and not a special occasion But
there had surged into his thought the
meaning of the Christian life with
such uncomfortable power that his SER
mon reached hearts never before touch
ed. He remained at the close of the
service TO talk with several young men,
who seemed moved as never before.
After they had gone away he went into
his own room back of the platform to
get something he had left there and to
his surprise found the church sexton
kneeling down by one of the chairs.
As the minister came In the man rose
and turned toward him.
"Mr. Strong, l want to be a Chris
tian. ! want TO join the church and
lead a different life"
Philip clasped his hand, while tears
rolled over the mans face. He staid
and talked with him and prayed with
him, and when he finally went home
the minister was convinced it was as
strong and true n conversion as he had
ever seen. He at once related the story
TO his wife, who had gone on before
TO get dinner.
"Why, Philip" she exclaimed when
he said the sexton wanted to be bap-
tized and unite with the church at the
next communion. Calvary church will
never allow him to unite with us,'
"Why notT' asked Philip in amaze
ment
Because he Is a negro" replied his
wife.
Philip stood a moment in silence, |
with his hat in his hand. looking at his |
wife as she spoke.

INSULTS TO soVEREIGNS.
LibeIous writings That Have Been
LeveIed at Members Of the
Nobility.

The criminal law of most, If not Of
all, civilized countries is sufficiently
strong to prevent the publication Of
| writings the object of which is to bring
the rulers of foreign states into con-
tempt. The rule of English law, as
! expressly laid down in Peltier's case
estate Trials" col. XVIII, p. 53O).
IS that any publication tending to de-
grade and defame persons in situations
of power and dignity in foreign coun-
tries may be treated as libels, particu
larly when they have a tendency TO in
terrupt the pacific relations between
the two countries. The proper proce-
dure is by criminal information. The
rule Is a reasonable one, though capable
of being used oppressiyely for political
reasons. There are several instances
Of prosecutions for such attacks upon
foreign soyereigns or their ambassa-
doris. Thus, Lord George Gordon was
in 1857 convicted of a libel upon Marie
Antoinette and the French ambassa-
dor. Yint was in 1901 convicted Of a
libel upon the emperor of Russia, an
during the short period Of peace after
the treaty Of Amiens Peltier was prose
cuted for libel on Napoleon, and found
guilty; but, as war broke out again
was never called upon to receive judg
ment.
1t must be owned that in some of the
cases the libels were no more than at
tacks upon the policy or public acts Of
foreign rulers, in respect of which there
would be difficulty now to induce a
jury to convict. For instance, the worst
that Nint said of the Russian emperor
was that he was rendering himself OBJ
noXious to his subjects by various acts
Of tyranny, and ridiculous in the eyes
of Europe by his inconsistency. Theo-
retically, however, in Peltier's case the
judge seems to have recognized the
distinction between publications di-
rected against the public acts Of a SOW
ereign and those which reflected upon
his person and character. 1t is the per-
sonal nature of the attacks in certain
French newspapers upon the queen and
other members of the royal family-at-
tacks sometimes embodied in coarse,
aroused such resentment in Eng
land. When a French comic paper pub
fishes a special number descriptive Of
the English character, in which, for ex-
ample, English steamers are depicted
as running down French fishing boats
and leaving their crews 10 drown, and
English sportsmen as tying up Indian
children to act as bait for alligators,
no one thinks of protesting. Nor would
however unfair or dishonest,
Of the policy of this country or the pub
lie men cause the same feeling Of anger.
Some reputable French papers seem TO
class the attacks Of which we complain
With the remarks made in the English
papers during the Dreyfus case on the
conduct of French officers. II they
,annot understand the difference be-
.ween criticism in matters Of public
interest and scurrilous personal abuse.

ABOUT SMALLPOX.
ease and Its Various Grad
RtiOns.

Although smallpox is elassed among
the infectious or contagious diseases
since it is spread by communication
I from the sick to the well, no one ever
I taking il who has not been exposed in
some way-it is not always possible to
say how the exposure occurred, for
the poison of the disease retains its
activity for an indefinite period and
may be transported long distances in
articles such as clothes, toys, books,
and so forth, which have been in con-
tact with the sick.
The attack begins suddenly, In from
a few days to two weeks after expos
ure, with a chill and severe pains in
the lower part of the back, and usual
ly also at the pit of the stomach.
Often, too, there are sharp rheumatic
pains in the arms and legs; the suf-
ferer complains of violent headache,
a distaste for food and nausea, and is
bathed in a profuse Precipitation.
High fever comes on, the pulse beats
forcibly and rapidly, the breathing is
quick, the tongue heavily coated, the
breath foul; there Is extrtme prostra-
ton; drowsiness or mind-wandering
may occur, and in a word the patient
is terribly i'll. There are few diseases
that seize their victims so suddenly
and so violently as smallpox.
Children frequently have commissions
at the beginning of the attack. After
about two days the fever moderates
and then the rash appears, coming out
first OIL the forehead and travelling
downward, Involving in succession the
neck the arms-being usually thick
est about the wrists-the body, and
finally the lower extremities.
The eruption begins as little specks;
these are succeeded by pimples, and
these in turn are followed by vesicles
or little elevations of the epidermis
about the size of split pea, filed
with a straw-colored fluid, which later
becomes cloudy or milky. About a
week after the beginning of the dis
ease these vesicles become yellow, the
fluid within turning to pus, and at the
same time a dimple appears at the tip
Of each one. This dimpling, or um-
b.lication, as it is called, is very char
0cteristic of the smallpox eruption.
The fever now comes back, and the |
disease is at its height from the tenth |
to the thirteenth day, after which the
eruption begins TO dry and form crusts
which have an overpowering and disa-
greeable odor. These fall off after |
time, leaving a red surface, on which |
are seen the "pockmarks" which are
the permanent scars of the eruption. /
After the crusts fall the skin begins
to peel, coming away in flakes or
branny scales.
This is a description of an ordinary,
severe case Of smallpox. but there are
all gradations of the disease, from 4 /
mild varioloid, in which the patient I
hardly feels III, and may have but one
or two spots Of eruption, to the form
IN which the eruption is so thick that

gusting scabs and crusts stained with

This is but the brfefast Of tho
sketches Of Philips sermon. 1t was
part Of himself, his experience. Ills
heart belief lie poured it out on the
vast audience with little saving of his
vitality. And that Sunday he went
home at night exhausted, with feel
ing Of WEAKNESS partly due TO his
work during the week among the peo-
pie. The calls upon his time and
strength had been incessant, and he
did not know where or when to stop.
+. IL was three weeks after this ser
mon on church work that Philip was
again surprised by his strange visitor
OF a month before. He had been ont
making some visits IN company with
his wife. When they came back to the
house, there sat the Brother Man on
the doorstep.
At sight Of him Philip felt that same
thrill of expectancy which had passed
over him at his former appearance.
The old man stood up and took off
his hat He looked very tired and sor-
rowful But there breathed from his
entire bearing the element Of a perfect
peace.
Brother Man" said Philip cheerlly,
"come in and rest yourself"
"Can you keep me overuightf"
The question was put wlstfuIly.
Philip was struck by the difference
between this almost shrinking request
and the self invitation of Il month be-
fore.

II think II was In the year 1885 that
Lord Roberts, who had just taken
over the office Of commander In chief
IN India. took up the question Of
khaki In the same energetic marner
in which he went into every military
question. He was early convinced Of
the suitability Of this color for uni
forms in the field, and he went fur
ther-he issued an order TO have the
whole equipment Of field and noun
tain batteries, including even the
wheels and guns themselves, painted
khaki. This was a striking change
from the dark color they had pre-
viously been painted, and which pre-
scented such a contrast TO the usual
surroundings Of an Indian landscape.
The rage for khaki at that time was
so general that some wit proposed
that ell horses should be painted
khaki before being sent on service.
An excellent idea, but unfortunately
impractical till some one can manage
perhaps TO breed out a khaki horse
