bers alone, but as the servant Of the en-
tire community of which IL is a part. If II
performs any service at all. IL is a service
which can not be intermitted without loss
and peril. II men get any good from go
ing TO church, they get quite as much good
going I'm summer as In winter. The fact
that the congregations are, or may fbe
small, is wholly irrelevant II there is one
wanderer in the city's streets who finds
. the doors of Gods house shut In his face
when he is seeking the blessing promised
TO those who gather together in His name,
great and possibly an irreparable wrong
has been done to a human soul.
ITO test the theory Of this religious pa
per il Is only necessary to push IL to the
extreme. If one church would ind an adj
vantage I'm closing for repairs, all
would find the same advantage. Are we,
therefore. TO close all the churches during
the summer months? We are often told
that the closing OF a few churches does
not matter, because there are always>plen
ty of them open and available. But this
argument would lose its force entirely If
we we're to accept The Christian Regis
ter's theory. The whole argument is, II
seems TO us fallacious. No church ought
, ever to close except for the most weighty
reasons. The ehurch's Founder, Master
and Head said:
4 must work the works Of Him that
sent me. while Il is day; the night COM
eth when no man can work
Truly, the night cometh-and swiftly.
There is so much to do and so little time
TO do il in that one almost hates to hear
so much stress laid on vacations for any
one But the church. which, IL ii means
anything at all, means the salvation Of
the world through the grace of which II
is at least one Of the channels, can not
afford to be at ease with Zion"
There is a wide difference of opinion
among churchgoers on this subject A
majority Of them, we think, hold the mid
die ground between that occupied by the
Christian Register and its correspondent
But the habit OF summer church closing
Is undoubtedly growing.

Our Highest Priced Mail Carrier.

A contract IA recently let by the
postofiice department for carrying the
mail in Alaska by dog sleds. The sue
cessful bidder was Oscar Fish. and his
route lies between Eagle and Valdez, a
distance of Ala miles. He makes two
trips a month and receives. nearly ST.
500 a trip, or $4,000 a year. Only 300
pounds are carried per trip, and this is
usually made mp of letters-few news
papers. Pos1otiice department officials
say that the sum paid to Fish is very
reasonable when it is considered that
he makes the trip by dog sled and
that he has the most dangerous route
of any mail carrier in the world. He
has several times been given up for
dead by residents of Valdez and Eagle,
but so far he has always managed to
reach the end of his journey. although
sometimes overdue and occasionally
very much battered up. He has fallen
down p~recipices. got mixed up in ava
lanches and has been starved and FROST
bitten. but is still happy in risking his
lonely life.-Harper's Weekly.

of a few men and women. not the
blatant ObstructiOniSm OF a knot of
factiOuS democratic politicians. No
n thinks less of him because he is
an idealist. The world loves the
idealist, just as it loves the lover
the cOmpleteSt idealiSt OF them all.
Yet the world must be governed by
that practical thing, common sense:
and in being so governed, it gets the
nearest possible approximation to
the rule Of justice and humanity.
Such is the general expression
among the republican papers, and it
seems they are not far removed from
the point at issue. The senator
makes much Of the inhuman treat
ment that has been accorded the
Fillpinos by the United States army
and his arraignment of the forces
was scathing. It was by the very
same methods that the ancestors of
Senator HOar civilized the country
in which they first gained a foot
hold. History tells of he treatment
that was accorded the Indians in
those days and they were treated in
a manner even more cruel. On the
same basis Sentaor Hoar should have a
more charitable view of the condi-
tions in the Philippines. This coun-
try cannot withdraw from those
Islands without disgrace to itself and
the men who are criticising it the
most for what the government is ac-
complishing there would doubtless
have a different insight into
the situation when what they de-
mand had been accomplished.

4 TcIcnnnnn Whistle.

When the earpiece Of a telephone re.
ceiver is held to the mouthpiece of the
t~ransmitter. a more or less shrill tone
or whistle is heard in the receiver. This
occurs when the apparatus is in good
Working condition and when the trans.
mitter is on short circuit. This effect
is seemingly due to i series of reactions
analogous to but much more complex
than those which occur in an electri;
bell when its circuit is closed. \ move
ment of the diaphragm of the receiver
toward its magnet tends to weaken the
pressure on the carbon of the transmit.
ter, which causes a weakening of the
current, allowing the diaphragm to fal,
away, with the further result that the
air column is compressed, increasing
the pressure ON the carbon again and
also increasing current strength, where.
by the diaphragm in again attracted.
and this action is repeated over and
V again.-Cassier's Magazine.

face, which will in time bring it some.

have an uncontrollab BILE. tendency to eat
only with the teeth which grow from

teeth more rapidly than those on the

turn gives the upper and lower Jaws
an inclination toward the left. ~
1t is the expressed opinion of many

Q MISCELLANY
NtcknackitorfaH.

London shopkeepers' slang is a dia-
lect in itself and one that is always
changing. What, then, is a "nicknack1-
torian?" We know not the word today;
but, looking recently through some old
law cases dating about a hundred
years back. Twas puzzled to find it ap-
piled in all good faith to describe a
plaintiff in the sherif's court. On fur
Their search it turned out to be a piece
of forgotten Cockney slang for a dealer
in bric-a-brac. The evidence showed
that this plaintiff kept a sort of old
curiosity shop, in which he dispensed
'mummies, poisoned arrows, the head
of King Arthur's spear and a genuine
manuscript of the first play acted by
Thespis and his company in a wagon"
The defendant, a woman, had actually
bought and paid for some of these rari-
ties, but she died after having commits
stoned the embalming Of an orang-
outang to add to her collection, and for
this her executors refused to pay.
Counsel for the defense poured con-
tempt On the mummy of the orang-
outang and called it a STUFFED mon

his case. His profession was more talk
