because it is an experiment, and we

tubes filled with germs taken from the
pages of library books examined. The

poisons and germs of disease. He said
that all of the fifty books examined by
him during the investigation We're
found to be more or less infected. He
said there was no doubt that disease

that a system of sterlizing the volumes

liability of library authorities for di-
seases contracted through use of books
was raised.

A bill that was passed without a dis
senting vote yesterday, provided that
the English or the Hawaiian language
could be used in the Circuit court. Some
time ago the Court was very particular
that nothing but English should be us
ed, and that no documents should be
presented to the court in any other Ian
guage than English. AS the court is
supposed to have a great deal of in
fluence over Legislative matters, the
court must, evidently, have had a
change of heart.

that they are vaccinated. We might
have small poX introduced almost at

absolutely prevent small poX, it re-
duces the danger of the disease to a

sowing Grass Seed.

There are many who think they can get
better crops OF grass by sowing the seed
In August or early in September without
grain, than in any other way, when the
land has been well prepared and the sea-
son Is favorable.
The one drawback "a the chance OF q
fall drought, which will not allow the
seed to terminate or burns out the tender
shoots as they come mp. Yet there Is
scarcely one year In ten when this will
happen II the land is well worked and the
seed quickly follows after the stirring OF
the soil. And one may take his chance
almost at any time from July to Sept. 10
to obtain good weather. We seldom have
six weeks of weather in succession unfit
to SOW the grass seed.

straight to the Lord Jesus Christ, who

Was 1o1 Years Old Yesterday - Still
I'm Good Health.
"Aunt salome" Sellers, OF Deer Isle,
celebrated her 10ist birthday yesterday.
Her family gathered at the old home
stead, and many neighbors called In dur
ing the day to pay their respects. Many
letters and tokens of remembrance were
received.
Aunt Sslome seems to enjoy as good
health as year ago. Her mind Is as
bright as ever, and her faculties are un-
impaired. 1t Is hard for one talking with
her to realize that a century or more has
passed over her head. She appears in
health more like some weli-preserved
woman of seventy or eighty years, and
her conversation is that of the modern
we'll. read woman who knows what is
going on in the world about her, and can
talk inteliigently on current events.
During recent visit OF the writer she
spoke OF little things OF community in
terest and then of the assassination Of
President Mckinley, expressing regret
that a man who had done so much for his

entered quito earnestly into an argument

| too great liberty nowadays, and were
| pushed to the front so that they begin
now to assume that position by right, and
| lost some OF their finer feelings OF rev.
| erence for parents and older people, and
| respect for the feelings Of others. In her
| day, said Aunt Salome, "ehildren were

Mrs. Sellers attributes her long life and
good health to her abstemious habits.
| She says people nowadays eat the wrong
| kind OF food and Keep too long hours.
| She has never required the services OF a

AS the correspondent took leave OF Mrs.
Sellers, he said he hoped to come and see

she did not dare to look SO far ahead al
that, but said: 81 suppose the Lord has

WHICH ARE YoU?
There are two kinds of people on earth to-day,
just two kinds of people, no more, say,
Not the sinner and saint for tits well understood
The good are half bad and the bad are half good.
Not the rich and the poor, for to count mans
wealth
You must first knox the state of his conscience
and health.
Not the humble and proud, for In life's little
span,
Who puts on vain airs Ia not counted a man.
Not the happy and sad, for the swift flying years
Bring each man his laughter and each man his
tears.
No: the two kinds of people on earth mean
Are the people who lift and the people who lean.
Wherever you go you viii find the worlds
masses
Are always divided In just these two classes.
And oddly enough, you will find, too. wean,
There is only one litter to twenty who lean
In which class are you? Are you easing the
load
OF overtaxed hfters who toll in the road?
Or are you a leaner, who lets others bear
Your portion of labor and worry and care?

ToYIc.--A bad bargain.--Gea. XIV, 1894.
The contrast between the children Of
the same parents is nowhere more apt
ly Illustrated than in the twin sons of
Isaac and Rebekah. They were diff
ferent in physical appearance, in natu-
raj disp0sit.on, in earthly pursuits. in
character, in the love they inspired in
their paaents and In their appreciation
OF the blessings belonging to the first
born 1t was the last difference which
resulted In the treachery of Jacob and
the undoing Of Esau. Approaching the
birthright and its accompanying bless
ings, Jacob. though the younger son,
determined to have it. Not appreciat-
ing these things, Esau became an
easy prey to Jacobs unprincipled
shrewdness. In an evil hour he sold
his birthright for a mess of pottage!
bad bargain indeed. The birthright
carried with it inestimable blessings.
These Esau surrendered for meal Of
pottage which he could have had in
little while for nothing. Yet how typ
zeal of thousands of the children of
God who are selling their birthrights
for the gilt and tinsel of the world.
Two factors controlled Esau in the
bad bargain he made. /. He did not
appreciate the birthright and its bless
ings. He could not have done so, else
he never would have parted with them
so easily. How many do not appreci-
ate the privilege of being the children
of God and for this reason forfeit this
relation to God? 2. Esau was dominat-
ed by his appetite. He lacked high
purpose and stability of character.
Quench his thirst. satisfy his hunger,
and he asked nothing more. Thus far
he was little more than an animal, and
animalism is the leading characteristic
of many modern Esaus. They are con-
frolled by their appetites and passions
and are bartering for them their best
Interests for time and eternity.
The result of Esau's bad bargain was
disastrous. Even Esau learned to ap-
preciate this fact. He repented of his
act, but, alas, when it was too late!
bad bargains are usually repented of.
but In most cases when 1t Is too late to
prevent the harm that has been done.
The fate of Esau should be warning
to every Christian Endeayorer. As ia
cob lay in wait for him to deceive him
and rob him of what was more pre-
cious than life itself, so the adversary
of the human soul would deceive us
and for a worthless mess of pottage
deprive US of the blessings that come
Ito us as the children of God. Let us
not be deceived; let us not bargain
away for trifs our priceless heritage;
let US appreciate our relation to God as
His children, control ourselves by the
grace and power of God and more and
more experience the joys and blessings
Of our heavenly birthright.
