Feeding the Five Thousand.

Feeding the Five Thousand.
Crucial times had come. John
Baptist was martyred. Prudence
suggested retirement. WEAKNESS
demanded it. The retreat would
also afford the apostles an oppor-
tunity to report more infinitely to
the Master the experiences of their
trial trip, two and two, through
Galilee, from which they had Just
returned. So the boat which had
been chartered for Jesus, and
waited upon him." was employ
ed to put the weary toilers beyond
the reach of the multitudes that
pressed upon them even at meal
times. = Head winds prob
ably drove the little bark near
the shore, and retarded its pro-
gress. Clandestine as the depart
ure had been, it failed of its pur-
pose. An ever-augmenting throng
hurried around the head Of the
lake, and probably appraised some
pilgrim caravans to the Passover
Of the coming of the great Naza-
rene. So, when Jesus boat ran
its keel upon the pebbly shore,
there stood FIVE thousand men, not
to mention the women and chill
lren. So, far from being
irrltated by this foiling of His
plans, Jesus heart was touched to
pity at sight of the shepherdless
flock, and he began at once to in
struct them in many phases of the
doctrine of grace In the absorb
ing interest of the theme, neither
Teacher nor taught observed how
the sun was dipping to the western
horizon. * But the COM
missary Of the apostolic college
suddenly awoke to the situation.
Five regiments! and no stores on
hand or any country to forage
upon. After some questions on
Jesus part, calculated to test His
disciples faith, but to which they
responded with phenomenal OBJ
tuseness, He prepared to work
what, in some respects, was His
most remarkable and significant
miracle The material
basis of the miracle was paltry in
the extreme,
But one poor fishers rude and
scanty store,
Is all He asks and more than
needs,
Who men and angels daily feeds. "
There was a vivid descriptive
touch in the Greek which does
not appear in our version. Under
Jesus direction, the confused
throng was solved into the order
of French parterre. He had
them sit plat-wise. 50 that they
looked, i'll their high-colored gar
ments, like veritable flower beds,
with green turfintervening.
After the cheerful grace, which
Jesus never omits, He puts a NOR
sci of bread and fish in the hand of
each apostle and sends him forth

BEER DRINKING AND CANCER
Statistics Which Seems to Denote
Connection Between the Two.

With regard to the curious fact
of the influence of beer in promot-
ing cancer the evidence appears to
be extremely convincing. In so
far as there has been a real increase
in the mortality, it may not i'm
probably bear a direct relation 10
the increased consumption OF beer
in recent years. The amount con-
sumed in Great Britain, which
was Fl gallons per head in 1885
was 3I12 gallons in 1900, and in
the German Empire the consump-
ton rose in the same period from
90 to I25 litres per head In
countries such as Italy and Hun
gary, in which the consumption of
beer is small, the mortality for
CarCinomatous disease is far below
the average. In France beer is
largely consumed in these depart
ments in which the cancer rate is
exceptionally high, although cider
also IS here one of the staple
drinks, and it may be pointed out
that the rate is particularly low in
many of these departments in the
wine growing districts, in which
beer is an unusual luxury.
1t was also noted that the two
towns in France in which most
beer is consumed, Romen and
Lille, have high death rate from
the disease. In Germany, from a
return lately made to the Reich
stag, it appears that Bavaria,
Baden and Wurtemburg are the
three states showing the largest
consumption of beer, these all fig
ure in list of those having a high
cancer rate. In Austria, SulzOurg
is stated to be the province in
which most beer is consumed, fol-
lowed at some distance by Bohemia
and Upper and Lower Austria, and
the same situation is revealed
there, as elsewhere. In no coun-
try could any instance be discov-
cred in which a larger consump-
ton Of beer was accompanied by
a low cancer mortality.
No decided explanation of the
influence of beer i'll the production
of the disease can be given at pres
ent 1t is fairly certain that it is
not due to its Intoxicating quality,
as a similar effect is not observed
in the case Of other alcoholic beve-
RACES. 1t is, of course, possible
that beer may sometimes contain
deleterious ingredients, such as
arsenic, which may predispose to
disease, but this is scarcely likely
to be the case all over Europe and
with regard TO the influence of
arsenic eaters of Syria. The eff
feet of beer is most probably to be
accounted for by the fact that the
fact that the specific infective
cause of cancer finds an entrance
into the drink either through the
water from which it is made, or
perhaps, not improbably from the
malt itself.

John P. Dinglestock, patriarch,
aged 104 years, is confined by
what is regarded as his last sick
ness.
Dinglestock, considered one of
the most remarkable men in the

All Fools day, 1868, aged 60 years.
April 2 he was admitted to the
Cleveland infrmary, where he has
lived ever since.
During this time he has been the

trade, his occupation was put to

good use and all the barrels, boxes
and baskets used there the past 40
years were made by him.
But the old mans real hobby
was the making Of toys. 1t was a
perfect mania with him and in the
curiosity shop" his work room
at the infirmary, are stacks of tiny
wooden churches, small toffins
and miniature playhouses, the
handiwork of "Old Curiosity as
he was dubbed by visitors to fi-
strange museum. Whenever he
made a new style of toy he was
never satisfied until all the old
people of the infirmary had played
with it.
During the past 43 years practi-
cally all the persons buried from
the infirmary were laid away in
collins made by Dinglestock.

Because he has seen IS years of

road company, during so of which
he has been a passenger conduc-
tor, Albert Roath. Of this city, be-

Though over IS years old, Roath
is a marvel of springhtliness and
goes about his daily duty with
the same enthusiasm as he did
when he was first promoted to his
present position.
Roath leaves Worcester at GAS
every week day morning, running
to New London and returning here
at $40 in the afternoon. This has
been his run since he became a
conductor In 1848 on the old Nor
witch & Worcester railroad, since
absorbed by the New York, New
Haven & Hartford. During that
time he has Travelled over $500 ,000
miles, or upwards of 100 times
around the world, measuring al
