AT the Court OF the Maharaja," by
Louis Tracy. author OF pillar of Light"
and ''The Wings Of the Morning" is a
romance In which the under, the seamy
side OF life in India, Is revealed. Mr.. Tracy
has not scrupled to paint the thing as he
sees II, and his picture, while wonderfully
fascinating, Is at the same time astound-
ing and thought-oompelling, II is the old
plot of the unequal mating Of a man and
woman, only in this instance the woman
dark skinned, debased and naturally cruel
is pure-minded English girl, the man
son Of India. That he Is a MaharaJa makes
little difference for although well edu-
Gated, he cannot outlive the hereditary
laints, and when he Is on his native soil
there is real reversion 10 type, and the
savagery OF his forefathers displays itself
in this cultivated brute who. by his mag

is sufficiently sweet to satisfy the pal

babes, that she might exercise her
jaws and small, sharp teeth, some

Calm the Imagination,

You will tell me that calmness
Of the imagination does not depend
on ourselves. Pardon me. 1t de-
ponds very much on ourselves. When
we cut off all the uneasy thoughts
in which the will has a share. we
greatly diminish those which are In
voluntary. God will watch over your
imagination if you do not keep up
the disturbance by your scrupulous
reflections.
Abide in peace. Do not listen to
your Imagination, which is too lively
and too full of fancies. This eX-
cessive activity consumes your body.
and dries up your inward life. You
are prcying upon yourself uselessly.
1t is merely your restlessness which
binders peace and interior grace.
How can you expect God to speak
In that gentle and inward voice which
melts the soul, when you are MAX
ing so much voice with your rapid
reflections. Be silent, and God Will
speak again.-Fenelon.

Memory OF SleepWnlkers.

The memory of sleepwalkers is
occasionally prOdigious under the In
duence of the dominating impulse
that moves them.
There Is an instance Of a poor and
illiterate basket-maker, who was un-
able to read or write, yet in a state
of sleep he would preach fluent SER
mons, which were afterward recog-
nized as having formed portions OF
discourses he was accustomed to
hear in the parish church as a child,
more than forty years before.
Quite as strange case of "uncon-
scious memory Is referred to by
DR.. Abercrombie. A girl given to
sleepwalking was In the habit of imi-
tating the violin with her lips, giving
the preliminary tuning and scraping
and fourishing with the utmost tidel-
ity. 1t puzzled the physician good
deal until he ascertained that when
a child she lived in room adjoin-
ing a fiddler, who often performed
on his violin in her hearing.-Pear-

rial life. Jesus had purpose.
Therefore He pictured the new birth
to men as the entrance requirement
for the Heavenly Kingdom and the
Joys of eternal life with God. Jesus
had q purpose to show men God, sin,
redemption, the kingdom. Having
deep and fixed purpose, He taught
convincingly from convicted life.
In the last place. Jesus taught as
one having authority. Mark tells us
that at the synagogue at Capernaum
the Jews were astonished at the
teaching of Jesus-that Is to say,
they were almost struck dumb. Con-
trary to the scribes. Jesus talked with
authority. Speaking from his own
intimate, personal knowledge OF the
truth and power of His message Jesus
asked the aid and witness of no man
to prove His points. The scrlbes
cited precedent as justification for
their legalism. Jesus spoke truth
under the influence of the Spirit OF
God. The scribes rested their case
on external authorities; Jesus had
the witness of the Spirit of His own
life. The Pharisees made tradition
the test; Christ made the Spirit. 1t
Is no wonder that they were aston
lshed. The gulf Is wide between the
sanctions of tradition and the sane
ton of the Spirit. Traditions choke
the truth; the Spirit giveth life. The
hope and strength of worn-out the
cries is tradition and it is the chief
enemy of the Spirit. No man of sense
will, of course, break with the past
merely through perverseness. On
the other hand, no one should allow
the fallacies of the past to deaden
higher life now. To the past all
honor; for the present the things of
to-day, the hopes and visions of to-
morrow.
The application is easy. Our pro-
mitigation of the truth should be
simple. The teachings of Jesus
should be applied searchingly to all
life in this day. Our method OF pre-
sentaton should be realistic, not alb
struse, that men may feel and grasp
and hold the truth. There ought to
be no lack of purpose in our teach
ing of the way unto eternal life. We
tell men, or we should, the Gospel
story not to amuse them. but to save
their immortal souls. And lastly,
and most important of all. we must
teach with authority-not dogmat-
ically or narrowly-but with the
sureness that comes from spiritual
eXDericnce.

trees are now growing throughout

trees. BY improvements in manu-

Close to the edge of the sea is erect
ed a strong beam, on which is writ
ten "Postoffice," and Joined to 1t by
strong iron chain lies a barrel
with movable cover. The ships
which pass through the straits send
2 boat to the coast to take out those
letters which are to be forwarded,
and at the same time put in their
own postal matter, the former be-
ing conveyed to the next port, to be
sent on by means of the usual post.

primitive and equally fulfilling its

coal were properly utilized by the ex-
traction Of the by-products, 1t is pos
sible that there would be large

excellent liquid fuel. Oil fuel needs
no manual labor, and men tired out
with firing coal many hours on a

cally supplied liquid fuel. 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that the admir-
atty are having built at Chatham

tanks for the Midway.
