excellence was reached this week when
Mr.. Award put in an automatic carbona-

a popular summer beverage just the right

Yes. If You Do IL DALI

ran hard to overtake a street On,
recently and asked a physician upon
the car whether 1t was a safe thins
to do. "Yes," he replied, "lf you do Il
every day" Here is u point in regard
to vigorous exercise. II we practice
running daily we strengthen the heart
and lungs and no injury is done, pro.
viding we start moderately. But If we
make a desperate run only once a
month we are liable to overtax the
heart, and If the heart is not in n
healthy condition are liable to lose o,lr
lives. 1t is possible for a human being
TO endure great strain, great cold, great
heat, or great misfortunes Of everv
kind providing he accustoms himself to
such changes gradually. The firemen
in the holds Of ocean steamers endure
for hours at a time heat In which
those unaccustomed would perish In
short time. The Esquimaux of tho
north can lead comfortable life for
long periods where an ordinary man
unaccustomed to the cold would soon
perish. The lesson is then that what.
ever changes we make we should
make moderately, thus accustomlng
ourselves to the change. 1t is advised
that consumptyes and others should
sleep outdoors, or In rooms with the
window well raised even on cold
nights, but remember that this change
must not be made suddenly from q hot
room TO excessive cold.

vowels, and twenty -one, or three sew
ems, which begin with consonants.
This distribution by sevens be-
tween vowel words and consonant
words justly might have been deemed
accidental but for the fact that of the
forty-nine words forty-two Of them are
nouns-slx seyens-and seven are not
nouns" is the comment of the writer.
"Of the forty-two nouns there are
thirty-tive proper nouns, or five sevens,
while seven are common nouns. OF
the thirty-fve proper names four sew
ems are male ancestors of Jesus and
seven are not such. Not only then Is
the distribution Of the forty-nine
words of the vocabulary by sevens as
between vowel words and consonant
words, but also as between the parts
of speech"
AS further and absolute proof that
these phenomena of the sevens are not
accidental Mr. Panln points out that
the forty-nine words Of the vocabulary
show fourteen words that are not used
but once, while thirty-five of them, or
five sevens, are used more than once.
His conclusions after an exhaustive ar
rangement Of the "seven" features are
that "Not even the choice of the Ian
guages in which the scriptures were
written was made without marked nu-
merical design at the threshold of the
subject"

Substitute for Pumice,

Artificial pumice is made in quantl.
ties In Biedghelm in the valley of the
Enz In Germany, which is said to bs
valuable substitute for the genuine
stone, according to the New York Post
1t Is made from ground sandstone and
clay, and there are ten kinds, differ.
ing from each other in regard to hard.
ness and grain as follows: (1) a hard
and soft kind with coarse gram
particularly useful In the leather. wax
cloth, felt and wood industries; (2)
a hard and a soft kind with mc dun
coarse grain, suited 10 stucco ', v,orkers
and sculptors and particularly useful
for polishing wood before 1t is painted;
(3) a soft, fine grained stone for the
white and dry polish Of wood and for
tin goods; a. one of medium hardness
with fine grain, for giving the wood a
surface for an oil polish; (5) a hard,
tine-gralned one for working metals
and stones, especially lithographic
stones; and finally pumice stones with
very fine grain.
These artificial stones are used in
pretty much the same way as those
of volcanic origin. For giving smooth
surface to wood, dry stone is ap-
piled, but to give it fine polish the
stone is dipped in oil. For the fine work
no coarse-grained and for coarse work
no finegralned stones are used. The
unreliability Of pumice, both in grain
and hardness, variations being noted
even in the same piece, suggested tue
idea of replacing It with the artificial
product.

A New York boulevard car was 60

a sudden jar, the current was thrown
Off and the passengers were bumped
rudely together. The car came to q
standstill. The motorman, says the
New York Times, threw open the front
door and ran back to the conductor
on the rear platform.
They exchanged few words; then
both ran through the car to the front
platform. Every passenger sat mute
with surprise, Suddenly the car start
ed, and then backed. Then 1t started
again, and once more backed. Then
It stopped. on jumped motorman and
conductor, and as the astonished pas.
sengers looked out of the windows
they saw the two men down on their
hands and knees, trying to crawl un.
der the car. Presently, with an ex.
clamation Of delight the motorman,
covered with mud and CRIME, slowly
emerged. Entering the car and hold.
ing up for inspection ten-dollar bill,
he said;
Excuse me, passengers, for jarrina

bill. and l hated to do It and leave II

.FATHeR. 90 WITH ME-"

Sent up to bed in the dark, alone,
Where all Of the corners were weird
and dim
And the shapes and the shadows
awaited him
At every turning-my little son,
Sent for some childish mischief done
At the hour when childish hearts are
high
With joy Of the evenings revelry--
And his fault at worst was a tiny onel
a wistful moment his feet delayed,
Waiting to let my face relent,
And then, pitiful penitent,
His faltering, frightened way he made;
But up In the stairway's deepest shade,
l heard him pause where their shad-
ows crowd
And whisper, Father" and sob aloud,
Father. go with me, I'm afraid"
Quick as his calling nay answer leapt,
Strong az his terror my shielding arms
Folded him close from the nights
alarms,
Sheltered and comforted while he wepti
Up In the nursery's light ! kept
4. tender watch till he smiled again,
Till the sobs of his half remembered
pain
Lessened and hushed, and the baby slept
Father Of love, when my day Is done
And all Of my trespasses written In,
Not for a thoughtless or willful sin
Send me out In the dark alone;
But so as | answered my little son,
Come to the prayer Of my pleading
breath
And lead me safe through the night OF
death,
Father Of light, when my light Is gonel

IS OUR PACE roo FAsrq

Weakness Of the Heart Ascribed to
Too Rapid Living.
The New Haven physician who, in
recent address before the American
Therapeutic Society, ascribed the
weaknesses of the heart and the cir
culatory system now 80 common
among certain classes Of men and
women, to the high tension of modern
life was doubtless we'll within the
truth. We keep up q fast pace every
where, in our efforts to keep ''in the
swim" Of business and society, gaug-
Ing everything by the cl TX and rush.
Ing from one appointment to another
at literally electric speed. "If we are
actually Sick" said this physician, ''un.
less we are seriously Ill, we fight and
wrestle with the disease, whatever 1t
may be, instead of calmly giving up
and allowing the disease to be tenn
porrlly master of the ceremonies"
"And even our children" declared the
same speaker, "are early infected with
eAAs ASNNA1oht hNlAAOuA uuSIt u uO
something. They see too much, do too
much, are amused too much, COM
pete in school too much, are taught too
much, are awake too much, for the
welfare Of their nervous systems"
All this, or something very much like
It, has often been said before, but the
warning needs repetition, and perhaps,
by and by, some will hear, and heed
before II is too late. With all our
many and ever-lncreasing applications
OF electricity, we need to remember
that the laws Of human organism re-
madn the same, and the human ma
chine cannot be run ON the electric
motor plan. A great deal of the stren-
uosity displayed in modern life is
totally unnecessary. Quite as much
could be effected In the long run by
taking things more moderately.-Les-

BIBLE WRITTEN IN rs.
MultipIes of This Figure Recur Siguifi-
cantly In New Testament.

Multip1es of This Figure Recur Siguifi-
cantly In New Testament.
The phenomena Of the figure and
its multiples, occurring in the New
Testament, have been touched upon
by Ivan Panln, a Russian student Of
the Bible, who for number of years
has made his home at Grafton. Mass,
This significance of the seven" group
will not be lost even upon the super
stitious who are outside the pale of
scriptural points. and, as Mr.. Panin
has shown them, their relations of
their groupings to the first eleven
verses of the New Testament must
suggest that they were scarcely
chance.
For instance, in these first eleven
vgses of Matthew. the vocabulary con-
sists Of forty-nlne words, or seven sew
ems; Of these words there are twenty
eight, q four sevens, which, begin with
