To place the election of the state

the burden of a circular issued by

to place the uperintendent of public
instruction and all other officials pro-
vided for By the constitution for the
educational department on the same
basis with the judges of supreme

and for a term of four years. Supt.

Tuesday night and from appearance

Gaping water soon aroused him. He
could not find any shut-Off cock and
so went to the home of Robert Draper
and recited the trouble. Together
they hurried back and after some time
had elapsed succeeded in checking the
Outpour. The loss is not heavy con-
sidering the large amount of water
that escaped, fairly drenchlng the
upper stories, and found its way clear
to the basement. Mr.. Baxter esti-
mates the store damage to be but a

Increase In MarriaCes.

There has been a notable increase IL
the number Of marriages recorded In
Chicago for this year over q similar
period Of last year. This has set spec
ulative persons at work figuring out
why this should be. and some Of the
conclusions are interesting. 1t is noted
tult the increase has been accompan.
led by a corresponding decrease in the
number OF young women seeking EN-.
ployment as stenographers and clerks,
and certain club women infer from
this that there In q growing tendency
on the part Of young women to give
up business life for that Of the home.
Others hold that prosperity In the
bu;iness world has enabled more
young men to marry. and that this
will account for the increase.-Chicago

It Is suggested, and the suggestion
seems eminently reasonable. that when
England gets through practicing In
South African she will have the ablest
army In Europe; an army ht to be
compared with Grants In 1855. 1t Is
the great drawback to the military art
that a nation can't learn 1t thoroughly
without practice. and that usually. as
the world is managed now, by the time
any generation in any nation becomes
exceptionally proficient at fighting the
chance to use its skill passes. not to
return until its veterans are past the
fighting age. Nothing but q rare COM
bination Of circumstances can enable
any modern nation to recover the value
Of the money and the lives It has In.
vested in the making Of an efficient
army. The most profit that England
can hope for from her 100000 sea-
soned veterans Is respectful treatment
from her neighbors while she Is nurs-
ing her wounds.-E. 8. Martin. In Har.

" every Roman citizen how the NOR
tar which cemented the stones Of theii
buildings was made-just as 1t is
known to the majority Of people tina,
the principal ingredient OF English
mortar is street scrapings. but the
knowledge being general nobody wrote
II down. and In time. rs the Romans
shifted their building upon slaves and
foreigners, the recipe Of their mortar
was lost. So far 1t has not been dis.
covered, though the secret of 1t would
be immensely valuable. for the cement

ditch will be fully 81 100000. 1t will be
seventy.five miles long. six feet deep. fifty
feet wide at the bottom and seventy.fve

gained that the Pawnee basin has been
practically decided upon as the site for

antiphonal cho;rs answered each other, as
for example, in the 2+th Psalm. one choir
would say, Lift up your heads, ye
gates, even lit them up, ye everlasting
doors, and the King OF glory shall come
in" and the other choir would respond,
"Who is this King Of glory? only to have
the other singers reply, The Lord OF
Hosts, He is the King Of glory" But for
sixteen years there had been no song.
First, why was this: The best expla-
nation is given IN the 18th chapter OF III.
Chronicles, the oath and 25th verses.
"And Ahaz gathered together the vessels
vessels of the house OF God. and shut up
the doors of the house Of the Lord, and
he made him affairs in every corner OF
Jerusalem. And in every several city OF
Judah he made high places to burn in
cense unto other gods and provoked TO an-
ger the Lord God of his fathers" There
is many n life to-day without song. and
to all such give my message. The reason
for this ia found in the fact Of sin. We sin
in our outward acts. but God can keep us
from that if we will let Him and give Us
the song once more. We sin in our dc.
sires, but He can remove these desires u
We will but permit Him to do SO, and our
affections may be set on things above. We
sin in our motives, but II we are HIS there
is a new pivot to our life. and the motives
which were most impure may become pure,
indeed. We have also bias TO sin which
comes to Us with our birth. but He can
counterfeit it if We will give Him the right
to do so. If one could throw a stone up
high enough it would come to the place
OF equipoise. where the law Of gravitation
would be overcome by the high law which
pulls upward. and SO if we did but yield
ourselves to Christ as we ought We would
come to the place where He would over:
power the weakness of our nature, and
what we doubtless need is a song to-day.
1t may be the old song we used to sing; 1t
is natural to everybody to sing. the plow::
boy a. he follows his plow, the shepherd
as he keeps his flock in the mountains, the
sailor on the sea and the traveller on the
plain, they all sing. at critical nomSat

this week. who used to be one OF the most

of the most jealous. He doubts much OF
the Scripture, and as a consequence his
life is not only Indifferent but inconsist.
ent" The time has come when the Bible
ought to be put in the church in the place
it once occupied.
Preaching is another vessel entrusted to
the church. As Il matter OF fact, do you
believe that men would know they were
lost from much OF the preaching they hear
to-day. The time has come for the Old

vail
Music is still another vessel, and that
church is to be pitied, If not dcspised,
where the music is not in every way to the
praise OF God, rendered by men and women
whose hearts have ALREADY been yielded to
God, but il was when the burnt Offering
was presented that the song began and
there was this peculiar about the burnt
offering, it war all yielded and It was all
consumed, an illustration Of the fact that
when we are entirely surrendered to God,
when He rules in the ministry and controls
in everything in the church. when there Is
no thought but for His glory and no com.
petition but for His approval. then Will the
song of the Lord begin once again. IL you
will read the goth chapter Of H. Chronicles
YOU will have the story Of a great revival,
where people from Dan to Beersheba came
to Jerusalem to spend seven days, and then
tarried seven days longer. or ii you viii

will have the picture of the priests OF God
going up and down the land overthrowine
the idolatrous places of worship, and set.
ting up the affairs once more. This Is the
secret Of purifying our cities and purifying
our land. Let the song of the Lord begin
once again There is no more fitting close
to Hezekiah's life than the 2lrt verse OF
the 3lst chapter of II. Chronicles. And
with every work that he began in the serv.

every other question. All our
all our domestic
and foreign questions are
viewed from one standpoint
only, that is, will it pay? Will
such a law, such an alliance

increased profits to our home
