Supplies Utmost Need.

Christ supplies our utmost spiritual
need. In him alone there is satisfaction.
In him we have the inheritance, incor-

be rooted and grounded in him, all
things are ours and we are Christ's.-

CANCER AND LEPROSY.
Forms of Disease That still Bame
Skin of the AbIest Doctors
in the World.

The king of England has shown spe-
cial interest in the promotion Of re-
searches as to the causes and the treat
ment OF cancer. and generous subscrip-
tons have been made for thorough in
vestigations and experiments, says the
New York Tribune. Every step for
ward for the relief or mitigation of
human sufferings from this mysterious
disease will be welcomed eagerly. Can
Ger. advanced tuberculosis, leprosy and
rheumatism in its worst forms still baf-
file the skill Of the ablest doctors in
the world. 1t is of interest to note.
however. that Prof Hutchinson, of Eng
land, who has given many years of ex-
haustfve study to the origin and devel-
opment Of leprosy. is now even more
positive than ever before in his con-
viction that the eating of fish which
has become putrid, or in least in part
spoiled, is prolific agency in the in
crease OF the number of lepers. He
sets forth arguments in support of his
contention which are so plausible, at
least, that health officials all over the
globe ought to be persuaded to adopt
the most rigorous measures to prevent
the sale and consumption of sea food
which is in the least degree tainted.

IT WAS TIME TO HEDGE.
BOokmaker Would Not Lend Money,

Several turfmen were discussing the
sharp methods of certain bookmaker

to deal with, says the New York Press.
But I'll bet $500 that can borrow
g, 900 from him on my personal recogni-

'Done!" answered the crowd stimuli
taneously, and as he could only stake one
bet they pooled against him. Thinking
he had sure thing, he went OF with

Six-MOnths-OId Child in India Be-

OF q Recent Governor.

Many of the people of India are firm
believers in the doctrine of the trans
migration of souls. OF late oonsidera-
BILE excitement has been caused there
by the strange story Of an incident
which recently occurred in the district
of Pegou. The natives there, says the
Chicago Chronicle, suddenly became
convinced that 6-months-old child
was the reincarnation of the late Mr..
Tucker, superintendent of the district,
who was killed by bandits in 1894, and
that moment the unconscious infant
became the most important parsonage
in that part of The country.

which Mr.. Tucker had lived, and, ac-

THEIR WORK KILLS MUSIC.
Telegraph Operators Cannot Play
Piano WelI-Strained Muscles of
the Forearm the Cause.

Did you ever hear of a telegrapher
who could play the piano. If so, how
many? Not how many pianos. of
course, but how many telegraphers. Tel
egraph operators find that after they
have worked at key for several years
their forearms and their fingers lost
that fiexibility that is essential to mu-
sicianally work on the piano. AS
many Of the men are fond of music,
and have pianos Of their own, they find
1t hard, says the New York Herald, to
be cut off from the enjoyment OF the
music they could make for themselves
if it were not for the strained conditions
Of their muscles.
There are few other lines Of work that
incapacitate man for picking out the
sharps and flats, but the telegraphers
say that they know few men in their
ranks who can use a piano with any eff
feet.
When they sit down before one their
first impulse is the old impulse that
operating the key gives them. They
want to use that finger that they use in
sending messages, and they find 1t diff
cult even after they struggle for long
time to make themselves players of
more than ordinary attainments.

OUR RETURN TO NATURE.
Mneteenth Century Renaissance of
Natural History Marks Epoch
Interest IN Animal Life.

The future historian Of American
life and manners for the closing decades
Of the nineteenth century and the be-
ginning of the twentieth century, will
find an interesting theme in the renais-
sance OF natural history, or the re-
turn to nature. which marks a distinct
epoch, says Francis H. Herrick, in the
Century.
If desire for country life has fol-
lowed the congestion Of population in
cities, the increase in wealth, and the
wonderful improvements in transporta-
ton, there has also grown up in Amer
lea a genuine sympathy for animals and
an intelligent desire for knowledge in
every department of outdoor nature.
This awakening has been attended by
renewed interest in the relation of liv-
ing beings to one another. and to their
surroundings. as we'll as by the inter-
est in the habits. behavior, and intelli-
gence of animals, on the part Of both
layman and specialist

WHAT IS A FLAT?
Tired Woman Defines 1t and Also Tells
How 1t Is Distinguished from
an Apartment.

Wont some one please enlighten me
as to the difference between a fiat and
an apartments" plaintively inquired a
woman who had just moved to the city
at an afternoon tea. Everybody was
willing to enlighten her, says the Chi
cago Tribune.
why, Of course" said one, with an
experienced air: 1.-The fiat. has a set of
speaking tubes and whistles and bells
and things. When you want to get in
you ring the bell and the door clacks,
and you go in before the clacking stops.
At an apartment house there is a hall
boy to let you in. and usually an ele-
vator and telephone besides"
mo. you're wrong" came from a
tired-looking little woman in a corner.
Those are only mere surface differ
ences. fat and an apartment may
both have none or all of those things.
The only real. heartrending difference
is this: In fiat, it is not considered
heln0us crime to have children; in
an apartment it is That's all. I've
been hunting vines and fig trees late

fig trees looked at would tolerate my

ETIQUETTE ON THE LINKS.
Facts to Be Learned by American
Players from English Cousins
Consideration for Caddies,

Not only in the actual playing of golf,
but in the etiquette of the game, the
American players. or some of them,
might we'll learn something from the
visiting Englishmen. says the Boston
Transcript. An observer of all the
games. and participant in the practice
rounds, states that there was marked
difference between the Americans and
the Englishmen in their bearing toward
the caddies. The Americans, especially
the college boys, were impatient if the
caddie did not at once find the ball after
the drive. The Englishmen did not
hurry or worry at all. They almost in
variably said Thank you" when the
caddie did a service for which he was be-
ing paid. They consulted with the caddie
and usually accepted his judgment as of
value, even if it was sometimes in error.
And they did not run One of the caddies
was sent up the hill at Myopia to indicate
the direction of the hole. He started to
run up the hill with his heavy bag of
clubs, after sharp command from one
Of the college boys.
Don't run. my lad" called out the
Englishman for whom he was doing the
service, we've got all the time that there

OIL FROM ANGLEwoRMS.
Said to He a Sovereign Remedy for
Strains and Sprains-HOw
1t Is Obtained.

A correspondent recently inquired as
TO where she could get "angleworm
oil,' and the editor of this department
had to pass on the inquiry as cOnun-
drum that he could not solve, says the
Los Angeles Times. However. there
are very few questions that some Of the
numerous readers Of this department
cannot answer. It is, therefore, not
surprising to find that no less than
seven answers have already been re-
ceived to this correspondents question.
F. S. sends the following from Santa
Monica:
Il noticed in the Care Of the Body
department to-day that some one from
Santa Monica asks about angleworm
oil, and that you say that you do not
know what 1t is. l will offer short
story Of an incident which happened
in my boyhood days in Ohio. My folks
owned valuable horse, which slipped
on the ice and strained the tendons of
one Of its hind legs so that it could
not put the heel on the ground, and
had to walk on its toe for several
months, when an old farmer told us to
rub it with angleworms, putting them
in bottles and hanging in the sun until
all the oil was tried out of them. Then
strain 1t and use as a liniment. We
did this and it effected the desired re-
suits, and will say that after that
we never were without this oil, as it is
good for so many strains and sprains,
and it no doubt will help the inquirer
from Santa Monica"
