scTiDing morphine. Whose fes5Ii7. .-S,-:.. will you take? Those who took the medicine or my testimony, never hay ing taken the medicine. Here is the gospel of Jesus Christ, an anolyne for all trouble, the mightiest medicine on earth. Here is a man who says: "I don't believe in it. There is 10 power In it." Here are other people who say: We have found out its power aau know it's soothing influence. It has cured us." Whose testimony will you take in regard to this healing medi- cine?
 Young man, do not be ashamed to be a friend of the Bible. Do not put your thumb in your vest. as young men sometimes do. and swagger about, talk ing of the glorious light of nature and of there being no need of the Bible. They have the light of nature in India and China and in all the dark places Of the earth. Did you ever hear that the light of nature gave them comfort for their troubles? They have lancets to cut and Juggernauts to crush, but no comfort. An, my friends, you had bot ter stop your skepticism! Suppose you are put in Il crisis like that of Colonel Ethan Allen. I saw the account and at one time mentioned it in an address. A descendant of Ethan Allen. who is an infidel, said it never occurred. Soon after I received q letter from a pro lessor in one of our colleges, who Is also descendant of Ethan Allen and is a Christian. He wrote me that the incident is accurate; that my state ment was authentic and true. The wife of Colonel Ethan Allen was very consecrated woman. The mother in- structed the daughter in the truths of Christianity. The daughter sickened and was about to die, and she said to her father: Father, shall take your instruction, or shall l take mothers instruction? I am going to die now. I must have this matter decided" That man, who had been loud in his intideli- ty said to his dying daughter, My dear, you had better take your mothers s religion" My advice is the same to you, O young man! You know how re- ligion comforted her; you know what she said to you when she was dying. You had better take your mothers re- ligion.

CIVIL RULE IN FORGE.
Governor Taft of the Philippines
 Inanp fpI


 Inau9urateI.
 Civil government in the Philippines was inaugurated ausp;ciously on July f. Commissioner William Taft was es- c0rted by General Macarthur and Gen oral Chaffee from the palace to n great temporary tribune on the opposite side of the Plaza palacio. Standing on a projecting center of the tribune, Will liam II. Taft, the new civil governor of the Philippine Islands, took the oath of office administered by Chief Justice Arellano. Governor Taft was then in- troduced by General MacArthur,, the guns of Fort Santiago being fired by way of q salute.
 X feature of the inaugural address of Governor Taft was the announce ment that on Sept. 1, 1901, the commits sion would be increased by the appoint ment of three native members, Dr. Wardo Detavera, Benito Legarda and Jose LuZuriaga.
 The reading of President Mckinley's message of congratulation was enthu- siastically cheered. The entire front of the tribune, a block long, was dec orated with flags, and several hundred officers, with their families and friends, were seated therein. General MacAr- thur. Civil Governor Taft and Military Governor Chaffee occupied the center, with the other generals on the right Rear Admiral Kempff and his staff were on the left.
 The United States commissioners and the justices of the supreme court were immediately in the rear, with the eign consuls. The mass of the peo- pie stood in the park opposite. The Filipino leadera were there. but there were more Americans than Filipinos present.
 The transfer of the military authori- ty to General Chaffee was carried out ill the presence of the generals in Gen. ersl MacArthur's office. There was no formaiity. General MacArthur pre- scented the new commander to the gen. erals and remarked:
 . Il bequeath to you all my troubles"
 All the high civil and army officers accompanied General Macarthur to the river front, where he formally embark ed. Governor Taft and General Chaf- fee then returned to the palace and re- ceived the public.
 According to the civil governor, there is an unexpended balance in the insular treasury of $3,7OO,OOO and an annual income of S10,OOO,OO0. The closing incident of the celebra- tion was reception in honor of Gen. eral Macarthur at the residence of the civil governor.
 The United States army transport Meade sailed later for Nagasaki with General Macarthur and the members )f his staff on board.

Changing the Color of Flowers

A foreign investigator tells of using alum, hydrochloric acid and caustic potash to change the color of flowers. Watery extracts were made of various red, purple and lilac colored flowers and dilute solutions of the chemicals mentioned added. The alum changed the lilac to blue and the rose color to lilac. Hydrochloric acid changed the lilac and the light red to n copper red, and in some cases the lilac was chang ed to green or brown. Potash trans formed the rose and lilac to green or yellow. Similar results were obtained when cut flowers were placed in solu- tions of the above or by watering with them plants grown in pots.

MILTON RELICS AT HARVARD


Signature In an Autograph Album
 nnd the Poets Copy of "Ptndar."
 The Harvard library numbers among its treasures an autograph of Milton and n copy of "pindar" annotated in Milton's own handwriting, with mar ginal notes in Greek and Latin. Both of these rarities were bequeathed to the university by Charles Sumner.
 The "Pindar" is dated 1920 and was doubtless used by Milton during his stay at Cambridge university. At the end he has added an alphabetical Index in manuscript, occupying two closely written pages of all the authors cited In his notes. with references to the pages in which their names occur.
 Milton's autograph Is found in the pages of an autograph album or visit ors' book kept, according to custom common in the sixteenth century, by n Neapolitan nobleman, Camillus Car doyn by name. who resided in Geneva from 1G0S to 1G4O. where Milton, ap. parently. visited him. Another auto. graph in this same album among the hundreds which 1t contains is that of Thomas Wentworth, the unfortunate Earl of Stafford. Milton's signature is dated Jan. 10, 1889, and Is appended to n Latin motto-"Travel changes ones sky. but not ones mind" 1t may be freely rendered and a quotation from his own "Comus:"
 "lf yertue feeble were,
 Heaven itselfe would stoope to her.
 The most notable Milton manuscript known to exist is n little book now owned by Trinity college. Cambridge England, which contains the poets copies of his so called minor poems, in cluding "LAnegro" and I'll Pensero so." In this country, however, it Is said that the only original memorials of the great author of Paradise Lost are to be found in these two time stain Pd volumes in the possession of tho Harvard library.

Harry vardon has once more changed
his plans. for in a personal letter TO c.
g. Cox, received in New York yesterday,
the famous golfer says that he will not
come to this country this season and that
he has begun 10 book engagements in
Great Britain. The last announcement
from vardon was that he was TO return
by the latter end of this month, and
that he intended TO make this country his
future home.
There IL still q chance, In the opinion OF
his American manager, that Nardon may
come over after the open championship.
which In TO be at Muirfield on June and
6. II only for a flying trip. vsrdon's de-
cision TO remain in Great Britain was
made public in England a fortnight ago.
and the announcement has been hailed
with enthusiasm there. Golf Illustrated
Of March 1 contains the announcement
with this comment by tho editor:
This news will be heartily welcomed
by all lovers of golf on this side OF tho
Atlantic, for all realize that his departure
would be a most serious blow TO British
golf congratulate yardon on his de-
cision, and trust he may soon be seen
again on the links where he has won so
many victories"
paragraph I'm the same issue of Golf
illustrated may indicate that Vardon has
not been able 10 break hss engagement
with the Scarborough Golf Club at Gan
ton. Ii reads:
THE following item appears among the
receipts in the financial statement of the
Scarborough Golf Club for the past year:
- India Rubber Company. for Vardon's
services, 82OO.' II 10. OF course, perfectly
right and proper that the club should he
compensated for the loss OF vardons pro-
fessional services, and looking to the high
rate obtainable and obtained. the Scar

son. II any were needed. for desiring 10

The only pending event OF importance
I'm professional golf in Great Britain is
one for $3.50 a side between Jack White OF
