He will be free from the moral cracks through which so many fortunes leak away.

 Consciousness of God
 with the incoming of the Christ life, the fact of God is brought from the realm of the speculative into that of personal consciousness, "is a thought brought out by Rev. G. Cambell Nor gan. "The one overwhelming truth is God, and all other experiences are judged and placed by their relation thereto. The fact of God may not al ways be the uppermost in the mind of the Christian. He will not neces- sarily always be mentally repeating his belief. nor will he be constantly re- exercises prove weakness rather than strength of conviction. There will be constant consciousness of God which will flash out into restrictive and expansive application through all the various circumstances of the ever- changing days.
 "How wonderfully this was true in the life of Jesus may be discovered by reading through the Gospels, especial ly those of Matthew and John, and ab- ulating His references to His Father It will be discovered that He lived life conscious of the presence of His Father, submissive to the authority of His Father, and confident in the wis dom and power of His Father. All the circumstances of the days, and all the values of words and deeds, and all the issues of life were tested and tried in that consciousness. To all those in whom Christ lives there comes the same consciousness, and it produces like effects.

Rev. w. K. Newell, of the Chicago Moody Bible Institute, spoke on External Punishment" but his sermon for the most part took brighter turn. Among other things, he said:
 ''The book of John was written for the purpose of leading people the way of salvation.
 Because you belong to a religious family, go to church, and give money to the poor, does not mean that you are saved. You must be born again.
 "Let me say to the unsaved that when you get in the Christian spirit, Christ increases and you decrease.

fighting back. But finally these two
plucked up courage enough, or woke
up enough, to stand the fighter off, and
there was peace in the tank from that
minute.
Two small fishes stood, or rather lay
with their heads close together up in
one corner Of a tank, their bodies ex-
tending back along the bottom of the
tank like the arms of letter V. They
looked in their way as two boys might
look who had got their heads together
over some tremendous boyish secret.
Then, as sometimes in the case of
the boys, some third boy comes up and
pushes in between the two. So here
another fish of about the size of these
two came up and, swimming in slow
ly between the arms of the v that the
fishes made, pushed it's head up be-
tween their heads and pushed the two
fishes apart.
Was this third fish, which had been
alone, curious about what the two
were communing over, or jealous of
them because they were friendly to-
gether to it's exclusion? Or what made
it push in so and deliberately separate
the other two?

vegetable growths. Again, the vege-
table microbes, or bacteria, may be
distinguished from Protozoa by their
method of reproduction. This takes
place through budding or splitting,
like some plants of low order, the
Algae. They have no sex. At a GER
tain period of their growth they be-
come elongated to nearly twice their
normal length, contraction across
the body, midway between the two
ends, occurs and increases until sep
aration takes place, when we have two
distinct bacteria instead of one. This
process is quickly duplicated in each
Of the two and is so rapid that it is
easily observable through a micro
scope. Starting with one organism,
millions may come into existence
within twenty-four hours. This ac-
counts for the quick rise of temper
ature usually observable in fever pa
tients.
Ordinarily, bacteria attack only
tissues already diseased. because of
the law of destruction to all decaying
substances in order that they may be
absorbed by healthy structures. Tho

sively that life has always sprung from
life and that these organisms are gen.
Grated from those of their own kind.
The theory that life was brought to
our planet from some other contrib
utes nothing toward the real solution
of the original problem. There are
three general divisions of bacteria, the
bacilli or rod shaped coccii, or spheric-
al and vibrio, or corkscrew-shaped.
Extremes of heat and cold which
would kill man are as nothing to
them. Only sudden changes of tenn
perature seem to affect them. If wa
ter is to be sterilized, it must be
brought to the boiling point and kept
there for at least fifteen minutes.
Even then the spores or germ centers
are not destroyed. After an hour,
during which time they have had
chance to develop, the water should
again be boiled for the same length of

is a popular method of disinfectinS
drinking water because it may be acc
complished quickly and with little
trouble, but this process is attended
with danger, for at a certain stage the
pores of the filter are apt to become
clogged with germs which press
through the water, rendering it much
more unfit for use than when placed in
the filter. To be reliable a filter
should be made of powdered cleerice,
sponged iron or carbonized bone and a
mlcroscopical examination of the wa
ter be made frequently to ascertain
whether the apparatus works proper
ly. 1t has been proven that, as rule,
spring water upon it's first appearance
at the surface is perfectly pure. The
few exceptions to this rule are found
when the water has passed through in
fected ground. Pure water when
brought in contact with the air is al
most Immediately fructifed by some
form of bacterial life.
Often. however, water below the
surface becomes infected from some
drain or pool where disease germs
have found Judgment. In many in
stances the devastation wrought in
whole communities by typhoid or
diphtheria have been traced to such
sources. Those who have keen
sense of smell are often warned OF
the presence of hostile germs.

been made that a persons character
may, to a certain extent, be deter
mined by the acuteness of his sense

THE DOUBLE COLLAR.
Is White Elephant to the Makers
and Launderers, Who DeteSt
It's Popularity.

The most unpopular man with the
manufacturers of collars and the pro-
prietors of laundries is the man who
invented the most popular collar.
That is the high, double-fold collar.
1t is as high as the single high col
lar, but has the inner band of the
old-fashioned 'ie-down" collar. It
requires just twice as much linen to
make and twice as much starch to
launder it, and if the laundry doesn't
split it on the crease by the second
washing it is good laundry, states
the Chicago Tribune.
The proprietor of one big laundry
with branches all over town has
solved the problem, so far as his
business is concerned, by raising the
price. All of his customers received
neatly printed cards informing them
that hereafter the price of launder-
ing q collar or cuff would be 21s in
stead of two cents. The card further
explained that the increase was due
to the increased cost of starch, soap
and labor, and particularly to the
popularity of the high double-fold
collars.
The collar objected to by the 1aun-
dries was put on the market five or
six years ago just for the sake of
putting out something new, but with
the belief that the wearers would
get tired of it after one season.
That's where the manufacturers
made a costly mistake. The double
collar has increased in popularity
every year for five years, until now
IS per cent. of all the collars worn
in this city are double high collars.
1T is really two collars in one,"
said the laundryman who had raised
prices. "Our profits have been cut
down $4,000 year, and the double
collar has done it. The thing not
only absorbs twice as much starch,
but it requires five times as much of
an operators time as single collar.
After it has been through the cylin-
der it has to be dampened at the fold
with solution of glycerin and alco-
hol, so that the linen won't break
when it is folded.
TN our downtown place, which
caters to business and professional
men, we launder $500 dozens of col
lars week. Eighty per cent. of them
are high double folders. At two cents
we lose money on every one of them.
And practically every one of our GUS
toners is man who puts on fresh
collar every morning."

Shakespeare . Common Name.

Shakespeare q Common Name.
It may come as a surprise to some
folk to find how common name that
of Shakespeare not only is, but was
long before the birth of the poet. AT
least three thirteenth-century Shakes
peares are known, and there is pos
sible fourth. In the next century
there are notices of bearers of the
name at Penrith and Nottingham,
where John Shakespeare was a plain
tiff in 1887 against Richard de Cot

dyewood, and recovered damages; in

tract and elsewhere. Fifteenth-cen-
fury occurrences Of the name are also
fairly numerous, and when we come to

that there were Shakespeares all over
