Babies Kept in the Oven.

That an oven may make good baby
Incubator has been proved by the fact
that the twin babies Of Mr. and Mrs.
J. w. Simmons, Of Des Moines, Iowa.
have been kept in an oven for a period
of three weeks during which their
little lives seemed to hang by thread.
The infants were born three weeks
ago. One weighed three and half
pounds and the other three pounds,
and each was twenty-six inches long.
Both are girls.
At the time Of their birth the physi-
clans said they considered it impossible
for the frail little bodies to be kept
alive, although it might be possible
with the aid Of an incubator for sew
eral weeks to nurse them until they
could gain more vitality.
The oven of large range was i'm

Overdrawn Accounts.

You have deposit of nervous energy
placed to your account in the bank of
your body. 1t may be large, in which
happy case you are a millionaire in
strength and accomplishing power. Or
it may be so microscopic as to need
careful outstanding and little expendi-
ture to keep it from dwindling out al
together.
But many millionaires become pau
pers and some 'dime savings swell
into millions. 1t depends upon tho
way the capital is managed. You may
think you have SO much that there is
no need to me economical. You get
up in the morning and feel the blood
bounding through your veins like
mountain cataracts, and you think you
can turn the mill wheels of the world.
You work day and night, or you
play day and night, which is some
times more exhausting, and go at the
limit of your speed all the time. You
are overdrawing your bank account of
energy, and that needlessly, for you
probably have enough to last long

post.
Another with not half your brains
or hustle will get ahead of you in the
end, for he makes every act, every
thought, go straight to the mark. He
wastes no effort. Everything he does
means something; it helps toward
some given end. You spend a great
deal Of ammunition on your quarry be-
cause you are over-anxious. He keeps
cool. takes steady aim and wings his
bird.
You get wrinkles and frost-tipped
temples and become a bankrupt in
vitality when you should be in your
prime. You have overdrawn the best
and, most valuable bank account the
Lord ever placed on the books of life

play and to look up at the stars

Spear Points.

Purpose is what gives life a meaning.
Circumstances may change, but God
never does.
The breadth OF Christianity depends on
its depth.
God puts consolation only where He has
first put pain.
Early athletics will not suffice for the
heavenly race.
In this life there is but one sure happi-
ness-to live for others.
Expect God to help you when you have
prayed for His assistance
True greatness is ability to serve coupled
with meek and quiet spirit
When the Lord is in our hearts His hand
will be seen In our works.
Never take your eye off the cross, as all
the lines of salvation centre there.
Poverty OF possessions need not be dis
creditable; poverty of life always is.
A thousand times better are the men
who do than the weaklings who only know.
The loving judgments of friends are
harder to hear than the harsh ones of foes.
All Gods providences are but His
touches of the strings OF the great instru-
ment of the world.
When you step up on one promise you
will always find higher and better one
before you.
The self-centred life comes to nought;
the Christ-centred life ever continues in
enlargement.
There are some lessons which can only
be learned in the garden, and beneath the
shadow of the cross.-The Rams Horn.

Railway i'm Alaska
Company Has Been Incorporated for Such
UNDERTAKING

In the state Of Washington the
Trans-Alaskan Railway company has
been incorporated with a capitaliza-
ton of $50,O00,000. It's projectors say
they intend to build line Of railway
in Alaska to connect with the trans
Siberian system by steam ferry SER
vice across Behring Strait. It may
safely be predicted that many year
will pass before the $4,000, 900 will be
raised for such a scheme, before the
new coinpany's cars and ferryboats
will be running and before dividends
will be paid on the stock. 1t is not
likely that the promoters of this am
bilious enterprise will succeed in OBJ
tanning large subscriptions from con-
sentative investors
The Russian government had what
it considered good and sufficient rea-
sons of its own for constructing the
