A Smoker.

The members Of the New York Athlet-
ic club and their guests who attended a
recent smoker" were enjoying them
selves hugely when their hilarity was in
%terrupted by a sudden alarm Of fire.
Clouds Of smoke even denser and more
odorous than that which had already fill
ed the room poured up from b base
ment. Nobody stirred. Why should a
valiant member of the N. Y. A. G.. show
himself the kind of person who starts a
theater panic? So they went on with
their smoking and story telling. In a
moment the rattle of horses hoofs, the
clang Of the gongs and all the noise of
a fire company pulling up and starting
operations broke in upon the now more
or less spasmodic gayety of the smokers.
Still no one budged. No one wanted to
be the first to leave, although there were a
few a~pprehensive glances cast at the cx-
its. The smoke got thicker and blacker.
the din outside and below got louder.
AT last one Of The valiant clubmen
called for his overcoat and stepped gin
gerly TO the doorway. Half way down
the aisle he stopped. half apoloseticaIl..
and said:

afraid. bnt this is a little too much OF a

From The Rural Californian
1t is interesting to make inquiry into the cause

simply due TO the presence of some quantity OF

1t is this sulphur that gives the onion Its germ

a very large percentage Of water in its tissues,
and this combining with the sulphur. forms the
strongly scented and offensive substance called

This slIIphuret Of aIIyIe mingles more espe-

do so by invitation only. Yet the fields are al
ways large and include followers from the Mon
mouth County. the Genesee. the Balston. New

The hunt has in its kennels a pack of nineteen
couples Of Irish foxhounds, which were picked
up across the water by Mr. Griswold. He went
last winter to ireland solely for that purpose,
and spent many months IN accomplishing it.
Every hound was selected with the most dis

considered of the most level packs in exist
ence to-day, and has thus far given good sport
The great bane Of hunting o-day, namely, the
danger from the wire fence, no longer exists in
the territory hunted in Orange County. The
hunt acting upon the suggestion of John K.
Townsend has satisfactorily disposed Of this
question by following the example Of the ia
nous Pytchley country in England, and build
irE its own fences. Wherever a farmer has
erected the wire fence around his lands the hunt
has with his permission, removed sixty foot

METERS FOR NATURAL GAS.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
There is no particular excitement over

meters as c~ommendable in the economical
use Of the failing supply, and some citi-
zens have recommended their adoption.

From the very nature of things the only
reasonable presumption from the first must

manufacturing process in the bowels Of
the earth TO produce the article on demand,
though reducing the pressure somewhat
facilitated it's collection at points of escape.
The time Of its exhaustion must depend
wholly upon the rapidity OF it's escape
from confinement. Experience everywhere
has demonstrated, and is still proving. the
correctness of this presumption. Almost
numberless wells have become and are still
becoming dead. while the very best every

Topic for Nov. II: P~reaching and
N, 1917.

There is more than one way of preaching. The
early missionaries TO China, forbidden to preach,
translated the Scriptures into the Chinese Ian
guage, and thus did most effective preaching.
Unable to obtain access to the Hindu zenanas,
Christian women study medicine and are called
in as physicians, preaching powerfully through
prescriptions and pills. The splendid exhibition
Of Christian commerce, literature and laws has
preached Christianity to the entire japanese ma
ton.
But Notwithstanding these and similar notable
exceptions, it is by the foolishness of preach
ing" by speech and not by means less direct,
that the world is to be won to Christ. When
a man stands face TO face with another, looks
him in the eye, grasps his hand, and pours out
his love for his Master and his reasons for faith
in Him., answering doubts as they arise. solving
difficulties, pressing home the plea with kind
insistence. there is added to the argument all
the convincing logic of a life. 1t is well to bonn
bard the citadels Of heathenism with textbooks
Of science, with surgeons instruments, with
printers type. with railway ties; but the ire
sistible bombardment consists OF men.
Gar duty in the matter has been condensed
into the familiar watchword. "Go-or send" 1
believe that this should be changed TO "Go-and
send" Go, where you can. Send, where you
cannot go.
Most Of us can go to far more than we yet
nave dCneu we can preach CnTlsl Dy loving
references in our conversations. instead Of avoid
ing the topic like the plague. We can preach
Christ in our letters. We can go to the inmates
Of our homes and win them for the Savior. We
can go to the Sunday school and capture our
class for Christ. We can go to our friends and
neighbors and to the neglected classes in our
towns. And many Of US who now think 1t i'm
possible would find it entirely possible to go
ourselves to some missionary field.
Some day, when a more obedient Christendom
looks back upon its history, even this twentieth
century will be considered part of the dark ages
