Letter to Mr.. f. II. Sincell.
Oakland, I'D.

Dear Sir: What would be the result
of selling poor paint with this guar
anteey
IF you haye any fault to find with
this paint, either now in putting it
on, or hereafter in the wear, tell your
dealer about it.
We authorize him to do what is
right at our expense"
That means pay damages, don't it.
Here's another guarantee:
IF your state chemist finds this
paint adulterated, we will pay his bill,
and send you $1,000.
We stand by both of these guaran-

Jesus spoke of His jog an hour be-
fore His agony. That joy was full
and unimpaired, even by the shame
and suffering of the cross.
Fancy has fairly spent itself in
imagining how the figure of the vine
suggested itself to Jesus mind. One
says that a vine draped the window
where He was sitting as He talked.
Another that they passed a vine
yard while He was discoursing, and
that a fire was kindled in it to destroy
the dead branches These sugges-
lions are based upon the supposition
that Jesus got His similitudes from
what met His eve at the time. All
this is artificial and unnecessary.
John is so intent upon the subject
matter of Jesus discourse that He
forgets to give us the environment
and scenery, if, indeed, there was any
of significance.

The substance of this fgurative and
hOrtatOry sermon is the necessity of
vital union with Jesus, and the bless
ed results of the union.

Men are joined to Christ, not as
branches which shoot from the vine,
but as those which are grated into
it. Crafts must be so joined to the
stock as to make vital union. Mere
mechanical union is insufficient. In
nature good scions are grated into
poorer stocks. In grace the poor, sin
full scions are grated into Christ, the
true and'good stock.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1905-05-04

No one must be contented with be-
ing merely grated into Christ. There
must be the ambition for abundant
fruitfulness. Failure in this point
insures ultimate separation from
Christ.

II. ROETTER.

The President of the French Republic has
summoned NJ. Rouvier TO form a new Ministry.
That he would do so was confidently anticipated
In these columns as soon as the resignation Of
the Combes Ministry was announced. NJ. Rou-
vier seemed the logical new Prime Minister.
Certainly he has ample qualifications for the
place in ability and experience. and in, we may
add, identification with the policies Of his prede-
cessors. He probably has no Presidential aspi-
rations which might be blighted by his entering
the Prime AInistry-a consideration which
might have caused some other statesmen TO
hesitate 10 accept the call. Moreover, in recent
utterances he has indicated his willingness to
take the place, provided no might do so un-
pledged. It is TO be assumed that he is and
may remain quite free of pledges. His career
and bis policies are sufficiently we'll known to
indicate what he will do without his making
any explicit promises.
NJ Rouvier has so long been at the head of
the finance department of the government that
there can be no doubt as TO what the fiscal
policy of his Ministry will be. We may expect
10 see his Income tax scheme pressed to enact
ment. Whether 1t is wise or unwise in some of
its provisions, 1t will certainly simplify the
fiscal situation in France and relieve the reve-
nue. pressure which is now equally hard upon
the government that seeks to raise and the peo-
pie who have TO provide the revenue. Rich and
prosperous as France is, her public finances are
not altogether in the most comfortable shape
and IT is therefore auspiciOus that her most ex-
pert and sagacious financier Is TO be at the head
Of the Cabinet So far as foreign affairs are
concerned, there are equally satisfactory reas-
surances in the expected retention OF NJ Del
casse in the place in which he has come to be
looked upon as all but indispensable.
The question Of church and state is the one
upon which there is, perhaps, most room for
speculation. We do not know just what NJ Rou-
Vier thinks OF IT. He did not dissent from the
policy of DR.. Combes, but neither did he put
himself forward as its especial champion. 1t is
true he was an old friend and lieutenant of
Gambetta. the author OF the famous war cry OF
the Radicals, lie Clericalism VOLTA Pennemir'
At the same time he has for many wears mani
Tested a growing conservatism, such as Is fit
ing In hnancier. We cannot expect him "a
make any very striking change in the recent and
present policy Of the government AS we have
said, no other general policy seems possible in
France; but IT may well be that he will incline
TO a reversion toward the policy OF the In.
mented Waideck-Rousseau, rather than to 81
prosecution Of the extreme features which wore
added TO that policy by DR.. Combes In this
and in all details his policy will be watched
with much interest outside of France as well
as within II, and there will be general hone

NOT ALL ALIKE.

Ii the everlasting discussion of the methods
and manners of street railway passengers injus-
tice is often done through the imputation TO
every individual IN crowd of the characters

train draws into n station. Instantly the doors
of the cars are besieged by mass of struggling
beings, all seemingly intent OH forcing an en-
trance at any required cost of temper. raiment
and cuticle. AS matter of fact many of them
nre helpless victims of the pressure to which
they appear to contribute. They naturally. al
most inevitably, gather close as possible TO
the edge of the platform. They cannot stand
back in dignified isolation until the train comes
In and then move slowly forward TO the en-
frances. If they did they would be left, or else
the process of loading and unloading, already
complained of as being too long, would be seri-
OuSly retarded.
In every such group there are likely to be
some unmannerly pushers and haulers, and they
are the ones who cause everybody to appear like
an eager participant in the rush; but the man
who knows himself TO be innocent is prone to
hold all the rest guilty and hand III a general

EXPERIMENTS WITH yUBERCULyy

DIR. w. S. Baer, one of the surgical instructors
In Johns Hopkins University, reports having ap-
piled the tuberculin test to forty persons in
order TO ascertain whether their bones or Joints
were affected with tuberculosis. No Indication
was afforded with fifteen, but with the others
there was a temporary rise in temperature. such
al is regarded as evidence of disease In cattle It
is asserted that the correctness of the hint thus
afforded was confirmed by surgical operations
in six cases and by the subsequent history of
the remainder
Koch devised tuberculin in the hope that II
might possess value as n remedy for human sub
jectS. That expectation was not realized. but
his lymph has been extensively used as a means
of investigating the condition of cattle which
were suspected of having tuberculosis. For six
or eight years reputable veterinarians have
differed concerning the accuracy Of its testi-
mony and the propriety of making tests with
1t. Other causes than the disease in question
may influence the temperature of an animal
Moreover, the warmest advocates of tubercuIin
concede that only an expert should be permit
ted TO attempt diagnosis with it's aid. Care
should be exercised, too. in obtaining lymph
from a thoroughly trustworthy source How
ever, though the test is not infallible. II has
proved helpful In the right hands as a guide in
separating sick cattle from those which are
sound and IT promises TO remain In vogue until
" pSetSA AhSS-'Od va uAo5HooiS - ulecOVereu.
Regarding the wisdom of trying tuberculin on
human subjects physicians have not been unan-
imous. BY making a meteorological examina-
ton OF sputum, by humping the chest and by
other means IL is practicable TO get fairly def
ute indications of pulmonary consumption when
1t has reached certain stage. OF course, if the
physician were able to obtain evidence any
sooner in another way, there would be a better
assurance of restoration TO perfect health.
Hence, good many experiments have been
made with tuberculin faving that object in
view. Some doctors abandoned its use be-
cause they feared that 1t would impart disease.
New-York tribune., 1905-01-23

and some distrusted IL because tney oehe'eu
that other maades than tuberculosis Wouiu
give temperature reaction after II hau peeli
injected Still others found il useful. Dr. Her
mnn Riggs long the medical officer of the Board
of Health of New-York City. declared six years
ago that he had found it valuable in diagnosing
pulmonary consumption 1t might be INFERRED
therefore, that it would prove even more ser:
vceable when tuberculosis attacked the bones
and not the lungs In such cases the physician
has fewer means of detecting its presence The
number of experiments reported by Dr. Baer IS
too small to justify great confidence in the etfi-
cacy and safety of the tuberculin test but they
can hardly be ignored
