No Ugly French Soldiers.
Pail Mall Gazette.

Pail Mall Gazette.
There happened recently at Mines. In
France an event which brought TO light
the existence of a clause in the military
enlistment act which. up 10 the present
time il would seem. had not been put in
force. A recruit Of the year of 1900 pre-
scented himself al the military depot TO
enter upon his term Of service. He was a
well-buiit, strong. strapping fellow, but his
features were singularly repulsive. His as
constituent was less profound than his sa L
isfaction when he heard from the army
medical officer that they constituted
cause for exemption from service. and that
he was. therefore. free to return TO his
home The clause under which he received
his liberty is that of No. %, which reads:
Extreme ugliness. resulting from a faulty
conformation OF the features i'm want OF

atrophy on the one side or lack OF SYM

expenditure Of about 100000 annually. The

slave Marriages
Questions having their origin in the days
of slavery are constantly arising for de-
termination by courts of the South. The
Supreme Court of Florida has held that
children of customary slave marriages
which terminated before or were never
ratified by the parties thereto after emanci-
patton are neither legitinates nor bastards
within the meaning Of the statutes OF de-
scent: they simply have no status. one way
or the other. General emancipation was

Taxation of Vessels
A very important and much disputed
question of law is the right of a State TO
tax vessels registered under act of Con-
gress in the port of another State, where
such vessels operate exclusively in the tax
ing State. In a recent case the Supreme
Court Of Washington holds that ocean
going tugs owned by q lumber company
and exclusively used within the State and
managed and operated by residents of the
State are subject to state taxation, though
such tugs are registered at a port situated
in a foreign State. [64 Pac. Rep, 909

Lesson Thoughts.
The first thing we inherit as the
children of God is the nature of God;
we should be so nearly like Him
That the world must notice the resem-
bance.
If true children of God, our sevice
will be glad and willing. not slow and
enforced as that of bond servants.
The full conception of the meaning
of our sonship we cannot know, till
in the other world We see the Father
as he is. l John, ill.,, l, 2.
Selections.
That we may become sons of God,
our natures must be thoroughly
changed by his Spirit. "a man may
work brass TO great beauty. but no
artificer can work it into gold. To
change the nature is the work of ON
impotence" Cecil. ITO hew block
of marble and carve it into a statue,
to change a waste wilderness into a
garden of flowers. to melt a lump Of
iron stone and forge 1t into watch
springs are but the same thing in
a new shape. but we need the grating
in of that which we had not before"
-Ryle.
A child of God should always be
visible beatitude for JOY and happi-
ness, and living doxology for graft
tude and alteration.
Form an idea of the usual privileges
which a child enjoys from gracious
and powerful father, and leave proper
room for the infinitely superior per-
fections of our heavenly Father to
those of the most excellent hui
man parents, and you may from the
analogy know something of the pecu-
liar privileges of the children of God.
