spirit away, but to terrlfy the patient,
If he has not become familiar with the
demon.
The Sioux Indians have a medicine
man who chants about the sick, crawl
ing upon hands and knees a portion OF
the time. Then he pretends to get sick
and groans, gags and makes all sorts
of grimaces and distressing sounds
Finally, he takes the patients hand
and, placing his lips to the palm. pre-
tends to draw out the evil spirit; then,
placing his face in a vessel of water,
he processes to see the image of the
animal, the spirit of which has taken
possession of the sick one.
This animal is then whitfield out OF
a piece of bark by the doctor and shot
at by others of the tribe until the
image is broken into atoms. If this
does not cure the sick one, the same
has to be repeated. only the medicine
man sees different images each time
and whites out different animals to
be shot.-People's Home Journal.

Canine School of Etiquette.

A school for dogs has been estab-
lished in Paris. The object is to teach
hem politeness. The animals are
trained to welcome visitors by jump
Ing up, wagging the tail and giving a
low bark. When the visitor leaves, the
dog accompanies him to the door, con-
stantly wagging his tail, and bows his
farewell by bending his head to the
floor. He is trained, likewise, to pick
up a handkerchief, glove or fan that
has been dropped, and return it to the
owner.

more literally than to hint at the
ence of climate on character. There
Is nothing new in that theory, at least
since the days Of Buckle. The IDEA
usually held, however, is that IL IL
only a climate of rigorous cold tndt
can breed good men. On that ground
Canadians can look to the future of
their race with confidence, knowing
that the virtues of energy, industry
determination and hardihood will In
spire the generations yet unborn. But
the fercest and longest winter does
not call forth that grim courage, pa
tient determination and u~nbreakaple
ho~pefulness which alone can carry a
man safely through a seven-year Aus
tralian drought.
There are, I think, few settlers III
Canada who would stagger solidly on
like an Australian when he saw his
sheep dying by thousands and not a
blade of green or a drop of water on
his holding. Even for the city man in
his Office it needs more resolution and
concentration of mind to do a heavy

100 degrees than it needs to face your

other, this southern sun will wither
Australian energies. You see it now
in the lounging gait of those you meet
on the streets. Commercial men who
come to Australia all comment on the
| easy-going way in which business is
| conducted.
People not only do not hustle them
selves, but they do not bother their
heads about anyone who does. Often
one has to make repeated calls on a
man to settle a matter of business that
might easily have been arranged In
five minutes. Punctuality and dis
patch, however, are not Australian
qualities. No person goes to work be-
fore nine o'clock in the morning, and
many business men, like the fountains
in Trafalgar square and the clerks In
the foreign Office, play only from ten
to four o'clock. 1t is all very well for
the new chum to laugh at this, blu
after a year or two he may find that
he, too, has lost the secret Of the
strenuous life.
OF course if Australians were wise
they would adapt themselves NOR
than they do to the peculiarities OF
their climate. A noon siesta is just a:
suitable to Australia as it is to Spain
or Italy or India. Far more could be
accomplished in the day If bushes:
was begun in the early morning and
suspended during the heat Of the day
But, shackled by custom, the Aus
tralians keep not only to the old Brit
ish working hours but to plum pud-
ding at midsummer Christmas and the
conventional silk hat and frock Goa;
for street wear. But though they may
stubbornly defy the climate in thes5
respects, they cannot resist its NOR
subtle influence on the general char
acter.

ton includes all the riches which
are in Christ Jesus. Salvation
is a large word. 1t means IN
finitely more in the spiritual realm
than it Toes in the natural. Here
is q man in danger OF physical
death. In the nick Of time he is res
cued. It is a complete fact. HIS
salvation from death is not progress
i've. Because he was saved yesterday
does not require that he be saved
again to-day. But it is quite the con-
trary in the spiritual realm, for sal
walton of the sinner to-day means that
tomorrow he may and should enter
into a larger and fuller realization and
enjoyment of that salvation. This is
the thought of Paul when he COM
mands the Philippian saints to work
out their own salvation with fear and
trembling" He did not want them
to fall into the error of ~supposing, as
so many Christians do, that the saliva
ton which came with the acceptance
by faith of Jesus Christ as Saviour
was all that the soul was to realize.
It was to be a daily salvation;
progressive in its realization, and IN
the end-what? Salvation. Not some
thing more than salvation, but SAL
vation-the fullness of salvation. Pc
ter in the six short verses preceding
our text unfolds in n wonderful way
the fullness of salvation which God
in His mercy had provided for man.
Read them slowly and thoughtfully
and prayerfully, and see if. when you
reach the words of our text, which
speaks of the final triumph Of our
faith in the salvation Of souls, that
salvation does not mean more to you
than it did before.

HERE we find the merciful God, the
/ [ crucifed but living Lord. and the
redeemed soul bound together by the
most intimate ties of fellowship. The
SuI.nesS of salvation includes it all.
1t gives to the soul a merciful Heaven
Iy Father whose plan for the salvation
of man extends through the ages, and
that salvation includes a growing &C
quaintanceship with the Heavenly Fa-
ther and His marvellous work Of grace.
It gives to the soul a Crucifed and
risen Lord-"crucifed for our trans-
gressions and raised again for our JUS
tifcation." 1t gives to the soul here
in this life a protection within the
hollow Of His hand and in the life
to come an inheritance incorruptible
and urdefled, and that fadeth not
away" Surely salvation means more
than escape from the consequences Of
sin. it means more than ~deliverance
from death. 1t means soul life-eter-
nal life which begins to unfold the
moment the soul puts its faith in
Jesus Christ as the Saviour from sin,
and which continues until it comes
into the full realization Of all that
that salvation means, and that time
is not reached until we receive the end
of our faith, ven the salvation of our
souls.
alAUL in his letter TO the Philippian
L church speaks of his ambition to
win Christ even at the sacrifice of
thu loss of all things else. The fact
that Christ had forgiven his sins and
saved his soul was not sufficient for
him. He wanted all that Christ had
10 give him. He realized that how
ever much God had revealed of His
Grace and truth TO him, however much
of Clristlike character he had at
GAINED, yet he had not reached the
goal. he was not yet made perfect;
but, be says; Il press on, if SO be

1 do, forgetting those things which
are behind, and stretching forward to
the things which are before, | press
on toward the mark for the prize OF
the high calling of God in Christ
Jesus" Salvation to Paul meant that
the saving power, the resurrection life,
of that Christ was to reach to every
atom of his life and being. He yearned
not alone for the hope that would stay
his heart in the hour of death and
give him hope of abundant entrance
into Heaven at last, but he wanted
everything that salvation could give
him.
THE term salvation holds such vary
4 ing meanings for different people.
To so many it mean only the final
escape from death as a consequence
of sin. To others it holds an increas-
ing meaning and beauty for this life,
and salvatlon-frIl salvation-to be
entered upon when this life is ended.

The members of the Legislature, which
will meet next month, are not servants
of Gov. LaFollette, but of the people of
Wisconsin. The governors personal ami
mosties or ambitions should not govern
their actions with respect to legislation.
To deprive the state of the ability and
experience of man like Senator White
head as lawmaker is to set at defiance
the underlying principle of popular SOW
ereignty. 1t is not known that Gov. La
Toilette has any such purpose, and it is
doubtful if he endorses the campaign
that is being made by some of his sub
ordinates. The senatorial caucus at
Madison Saturday made it quite clear
that the senator's appreciate their re-
sponsibility to the electorate, and it
would be easy for them to defeat Gov.
LaFollette should he contest with them
their right to independence on legisla-
tive questions. On the other hand, there
is little danger that theaprinciples of the
republican platform, which were en-
dorsed last month, will not be substan-
italy carried out. milwaukee, Journal.
