Colds are almost unknown in the

action of the continuous cold, but be-
cause the greater part of that region

to great privations and were almost

In recent interesting discourse on
the question, lis the Pulpit Free|
Rev. Frederick c. Priest got at the root
of the matter when he said that the
preacher should be a specialist and
should attend to his speciality. Within
the limits of that speciality and the
creed that he processes his freedom is
as perfect as human freedom can be.
He is always secure in the approval of
his parishiOners when he breaches a
thoroughly Christian sermon, founded
on the mOralities and the promises of
the gospel and more than that, it is by
such sermons alone that he can best
help, comfort and inspire his hearers.
But the peculiar respect which he COM
mands as a specialist vanishes imme-
diately when he goes out of his sphere
to talk Dramatically upon questions of
secular controversy about which he
may know much less than some of his
auditors. There are preachers who
seem to have a persistent itching dur
ing political campaigns to bring the
pulpit into politics and who deceive
themselves by imagining that their
partnership comes of God, when it is
just the ordinary kind. They may con-
tent themselves with yelled illusions or
they may go so far as to express eulogy
or denunclation but in either case they
are using the church as Il campaign
wigwam when they should hire hall
1t is wonder that such alterations are
tolerated rs much as they are, and GER
tainly there could be no blaming a pew
holder for protesting when he believes
that there is more of the devil than of
God in the preachers party. 1t is his
right to protest and to demand that his
temper shall not be ruffled by the dis
ingenious or Over-zealOus pulpiteer,
who is taking him at a mean disad-
vantage and depending on him for
financial support at the same time.
Aside from the question of authority.
men are stated with such stuff anyway
during the week, and if they go to
church Sunday it is to be recalled to
the spiritual side of life, which is too
much neglected. There is still enough
in it and in pure religion for centuries
upon centuries of sermons, as there has
been IN the past. The speciality is still
rightly considered the greatest of spe-
cialties, and when it is properly full
filled it ministers more to the higher
aspirations Of humanity than any other
and. commands a generation that is a
/ very Dulwark against those who wOuld
curtail its just freedom.

Ancient City in Mexico.

Leopold Batres, conservator of arch
geological monuments in Mexico, has
exhumed an ancient city of the Zapo-
tecas in the State of Oaxaca. In it's
center is a grand plaza. and rising to
the north of the plaza are terraces, on
which are founded two great temples,
while in the center of the plaza itself
are two massive mausoleums in which
the priests of the temples were buried.
On opposite sides of the public square
there are also twelve smaller shrines,
six on either hand, all supported by
heavy columns of basalt covered with
hieroglyphic inscriptions in bas-relief.
In the temples the history of the peo-
pie was found inscribed, in the Ian
guage of the Zapotecas, upon fifty
tablets of stone. So much of the sur.
prisingly rare historic import has al
ready been found that Mr.. Batres will
ask the government for more men to
be put at the work of exhuming and
restoring the buildings of the long
buried city.

Never dust off plates with brush that

with long fine hair.
Never put alkaline solutions in bot

Never sweep or dust your dark room;

Never use trays or dishes for all
work; keep to their proper uses those
for developing, fixing, toning. etc.
Never pass your fingers from one So

you would avoid stains, etc.

Automobiles do not fall to the common
lot, and there are many pleasures that
are not for those who have to struggle
for a living, day by day. But it is
possible for all men to cultivate a spir-

things add years to lives, increase hui
