filthy stables and yards, and no pre-
cautions taken to keep filth out of
the milk, gives every opportunity for
the vilest contamination.
Added to this is the fact that the
milk cans are washed with water in
which typhoid germs are known to
exist and the cattle are given this
water to drink.

A Midocean Request.

On his journey to Australia, in the
interest of Christian Endeavor, DR..
Clark sent this mid-Pacific request:
"Will you not (as many as are like
minded) Join with me for the next
three months, or whenever you keep
the Quiet Hour, in this form of united
prayer?
"Our Father in heaven, bless us who
unite in this prayer to Thee ana our
Christian Endeavor brothers and sisters
in every land.
enlarge our fellowship; increase our
faithfulness; make us more useful IN my
church. Move our hearts not only to
pray, but to give as Thou hast prospered
us, for this and every good cause Bring
young people who know Thee not to Thy
self. Bless. we pray Thee. the juniors
that the boys and girls may be Thine.
''For the Christian Endeavor brother
hood in all denominations and in all the
world we thank Thee. Make us worthy
of large blessings and able to receive
them. For the sake of Jesus Christ, our
only Lord and Saviour. Amen.
Perhaps you will cut this out OF
copy it; 1t is not long There is fell
lowship In words even, and the fact
that we are using the same petitions,
framed in the same words, at the same
time, will make us realize our kinship.
aside from this, in our Quiet Hour
we shall have time for many and va
ried petitions, for this will hardly oc-
cupy sixty seconds, but it will be a
golden chain to bind to the throne of
God the hearts of all who use it"

Statute of Limitations Not Applicable
The statute of limitations has of late
been brought much into requisition as
the means of shielding alleged offend
ers from the consequences of their dere-
Lotions. 1t is therefore interesting,
whether or not it is important to know
that it is not applicable, at least within
the jurisdiction of the supreme court
of the state of New York, to breach of
promise cases.
1t appears from the record of the
case in question that in 1882 Edward
Graecon promised Miss Caroline Smyth
to marry her within a reasonable
time" She waited patiently until the
spring of 1902 and then called upon
Graecon to fulfill his promise. When
he refused to marry her she brought
suit for $4,000 for breach of promise.
To this claim Graecon's attorneys filed
demurrer wherein the original con-
tract was admitted, but the plea was
made that the. lady was trifie tardy
in insisting upon compliance with the
contract and that in consequence of
contributory negligence on her part the
goods which led the defendant to make
the contract in the first place had suf-
fered some detriment through the raw
ages of time. But an attempt to APP
ply the statute of limitations would not
work in this case. The court ruled
that Graecon's demurrer was not well
founded and overruled it, saying that
had the contract Of marriage fixed a
particular day for the ceremony the
defendants refusal to perform the con-
tract on that day might have preclud-
ed plaintiffs demand for performance
twenty years later, but as no specific
time was fixed plaintiffs readiness to
perform her part of the contract at
any and all times since may be deemed
to have continued, as she alleges it has.
Her charms may have somewhat de-
preciated, but this gives the dilatory
and faithless sutton no ground for shell
ter behind the much employed statute
of limitations,
