TUNA, Tibet, April 4-The battle at
Guru will not alter the political aspect
of the British mission to Tibet, which
is going to Gyangtse, as had been ar
ranged. Colonel Younghusband has not
received any communication since the
fight from either Chinese or Tibetan
officials. The Tibetan general killed at
Guru belonged to one of the most influ-
entail families at Lassa. Among the
identified dead was found the body Of
the most truculent Lassa lama, well
known to the political officers. All the
Tibetan prisoners have now been re-
leased. A British force is Occupying
Guru, where the telegraph line is being
extended. The Tibetan wounded were
attended by surgeons and men from
the British force.

appearance was almost simultaneous.
The candidate last arriving happened

girl who answered his knock at the
door he said-when she had given him
the desired draught and he had offered
her in recompense some candy: Did
the man ahead of me give you any
thing?"
"Oh! yes, sir" replied the bright
girl; "he gave me candy"
"Ah!" exclaimed the candidate.

The youngster laughed merrily.

MORTCACED TRANQUILITY
Various Ways in Which One May Sac
rifice His Future Peace
of Mind.

The passing phrase, "mortgaged
tranquility" used by a recent writer,
suggests a multitude of particulars.
Each one can probably fill out the spec
ifcations of this mortgage for him
self.
A mortgage upon a piece of property
extends from it's date into the future,
and after this legal proceeding ones
ownership is always subject to that
lien. Everyone has n certain right to
a tranquil mind if he will but take
means to secure it. How then is this
future tranquility encountered? M
Extravagant expenditure is one GER
tain way. To exceed ones income by
reckless outlay is to mortgage future
comfort and peace. Overwork anf
overworry, loading ones self with OBJ
legations beyond measure, foolish
promises and all such things. encum-
Der the future. The inconsiderate
word and deed, the hasty thought, the
caustic or cutting criticism, angry
speech and recriminations, unjust
judgments, cruel satires, unklndness
toward the nearest and dearest, neg
lect of duty, deferred sympathy n
help until the opportunity is past
all these cover future tranquility with
mortgages. These are all done in the
present, but their consequences reach
far. What a pity to %encroach upon fu-
ture possessions. Let us consider these
onseoUences in time, and see to 1t
that we have a clear title to future
peace by seeking with resolute and
trusting heart to avoid what will en-
cumber it.-Philadelphia Young Peo-

THE HABIT OF SWEARING.
Came Very Near to Standing Between
a Dying Man and Eternal
Salvation.

Some time ago | was called to the bed
side of a dying a says E. A. King, in
the Baptist Union. He was not pre-
pared to live, much less to die. He had
been a bad man, but being in the last
stages of severe typhoid fever, he
thought he would like to have a minister
of the gospel call Upon him. After talk
ing with him for some time l discovered
that he was suffering from mental de-
preston as we'll as from bodily pain,
This burden on his heart was revealed
as he looked searchingly at me and
asked: do you thin. there is such a
thing as an objectionable SIM"
l had no idea that he was suffering
from any objectionable sin, and told him
so, trying to explain, as well as | could
what that awful sin might be, but my
explanation did not suit him, He in
sisted that / read from the Bible the
statement of Jesus concerning this sin,
and so | read Matthew 12:31. He felt
sure hat he wa guilty of blasphemy,
and insisted so strenuously that it was
so, that a new light began to dawn upon
me.
In a moment | thought I saw his
trouble. said: You have been a very

Eyes, l have" he said, and I'm afraid

asked himifhe everreally meant what
he implied when he asked God to damn
another mans soul. With a shudder he
said: NO, of course mott" During the
conversation which followed he told me
that the habit of swearing and cursing
was one easily formed, but no swearer
ever really meant what he said. The
oath becomes common in his converse
ton.
When he had knally cleared his mind
of this burden he prayed God that He
would forgive him for all this foolish
swearing!
I think there is a lesson in this for all
good young people. By-words and al,
emotional %adjectives used under pres
sure, may, in Gods sight, be as serious
a matter as a thoughtlless mans out
spoken curses and -oaths. The lesser
leads to the greater, but if there is no
such beginning there can be no such en-
barrassing end.

When they condemned Him as a Sab
bath breaker He vigorously replied
that the Sabbath was made for man
and not man for the Sabbath, and
that He was Lord even of the Sabbath
day. When they saw Him casting out
demons they declared that He was able
10 do such mighty works because He
was in league with the Devil, but He
quickly showed them how ridiculous
their charge was and declared to them
that He was the Son of God and re-
ceived His power from above. Every
accusation which they brought against
Him He denied and clearly refuted,
save this one that He was the declared
Friend and the willing associate OF
publican and sinner. This charge He
admitted by some of the most beautt-
full and tender parallels and by His
loving, compassionate and helpful at
titude always manifested toward the
outcast and despised sinner. He told
the proud. s~elf-righteous Pharisees
bluntly and plainly that He had come
not to call the righteous (and how
should like to have heard the infiec-
ton and emphasis with which he pro-
bounced that word righteous), but sin

SOAKED IN COFFEE
Until Too Stiff to Bend Over.

when l drank coffee I often had sick
headaches, nervousness and biliousness
much of the time but about 2 years
ago l went to visit a friend and got
in the habit of drinking Postum.
81 have never touched coffee since
and the result has been that l have
been entirely cured of all my stomach
and nervous trouble.
my mother was just the same way,
we all drink Postum now and have
never had any coffee in the house for
2 years and we are all we'll.
"A neighbor of mine, a great coffee
drinker, was troubled with pains in her
side for years and was an invalid. She
was not able to do her work and could
at all where she would have to bend
forward. If she tried TO do a little
hard work she would get such pains
that she would have to lie down for
the rest of the day.
81 persuaded her at last to stop
drinking coffee and try Postum Food
Coffee and she did so and she has used
Postum ever since; the result has
been that she can now do her work,
can sit for a whole day and mend and
can sew on the machine and she never
feels the least bit of pain in her side
in fact she has got well and 1t shows
coffee was the cause of the whole
trouble.
II could also tell you about several
other neighbors who have been cured
by quitting coffee and using Postum
in its place." Name given by Postum
