An odd picture she makes, as mount

Summer sIeepina Rooms.

Anyone can sleep in cool weather.
But to insure sound slumber during
hot summer nights the conditions must
be ideal.
Plan your sleeping chamber along
the lines of health and restfulness.
Don't have it filled with gewgaws
and knickknacks and draperies.
Have bare floors If not that, then
use fresh mating and have it wiped
up daily with a damp cloth.
Have no rugs, or at least a very few
small ones that may be easily cleaned.
Use white washable curtains
Taboo portieres altogether.
The bedding should be light and
open and a pure wool blanket should
be used in place of silk coverlet,

based upon the supposition that the
cool electric forces from the magnetic
needle are needed in the most heated
portion of the body, the brain. 1t does
no harm to carry out the idea.

scarcely understood and is indifferently
regarded by the great mass OF the people
in the Churches formerly divided into the
two schools. Habit rather than any
intensity Of opposing conviction keeps
them apart
II may be questioned if this division is
not an inevitable consequence OF the
genius of Professionalism, whose glory is
in the freedom of the individual con-
science and its independence of absolute
authority. Perhaps the sum Of the
effects produced by many distinct and,
in some respects, competing denomina-
tons may be greater than would be the
influence exertcd by single Church
formed by their consolidation. A strong
present tendency, however, seems to be
toward Protestant unity, AT least 10 the
extent of the federation of the different
Churches, and simultaneously we see a
movement in the Episcopal Church to
draw it away altogether from Protest.
antsm. These opposing forces are likely
to produce religious developments in the
next quarter of a century which will be
very interesting.

Two Religious Forces.

The General Assembly in moving to
bring about the union Of the many differ
ent branches Of the Presbyterian family
is taking a step other Protestant denomi-
nations, the separation between which
is not due to any difference on essential
religious doctrine, are now following.
Meanwhile, it seems to be demonstrated
that the Protestant party in the Episco-
pal Church will be able to make success
full resistance to the project to remove
that Church from all association with
Professionalism by means of change in
it's official designation.
In England also this Protestant party
is now asserting itself with new vigor
against the Ritualistic effort to accom-
plish the same end in the Church of Eng
land. Canon HENLEY HEUsoN would
concilate rather than estrange the forces
of Nonconformity. Last month the
Bishop of Wellington, New Zealand, at a
celebration of the 2O2d anniversary Of
the Society for the Propa cation of the
Gospel, at London, expressed like senti-
ment in notable sermon, in which he
instanced the common Use among Chris
tians Of the hymns of WESLEY, FABER.
WATTS and NEWMAN as an evidence of
union of hearts which ought to have an
outward and visible manifestation in the
organized Christian Church..
Unquestionably, if Professionalism pre-
sented united front it would make a
far more imposing and perhaps more
potent demonstration in Christendom,
and never since the Reformation was it
so much in need of strengthening its
power AS it is now. All the Protestant
Churches classed az Evangelical are re-
ligious kindred, and in doctrine they are
in close agreement. The difference be-
tween Arminianism and Calvinism. which
once divided the Protestant world, is now
