THE BIBLE.

In chapel service in Harvard Col lege I have always observed that the reading of the Bible arrests the close attention Of students and is sure to interest them. I do not baleve that such interest results from their tsnor- ance of Scripture. It i; the interest whic. intelligent men take in the words or acts of an intelligent man whom they respect, when he sub ect og tte occasion justiies the closest att tenticn and interest.
 Our regular Sunday service at the Unitarian church at Washington owes no little of the devout interest wich always attaches to 1t to MT Pierce habit of reading both from the Cld Testament and the New, and chcos- ing such passages as Illustrate, com plement or fulfil each other,-that ls, really fill each other full-of meaning. Say what you choose and think what you choose of the verbal inspiration, of plenary inspiration of universal in- spiration, separate the history of one book from another as carefully as you please, the certainly professed by all men is that in tie Old Testament we have an amending variety of the reii-- gious thoughts or hopes or guesses, really of thousands of people. In the New Testament we have even more, we have the book on whiciI the practi- cal ethics and social conditions of the twentieth century have been forming themselves, or pretending to form themselves, as nineteen centuries have gone by While the minister is reading tie Bible, he is, or he may be bringing the hundreds of people be- fore him into the closest possible re- Ilations with hundreds of men whose statement about God and man h0ve gone far in creating the daily life, in which we all live.
 It is a pity if the minister tainks that his views on the Thaw 'rial or on the beef trust will certainly be more important than coherent ex- position of the laws of life, as they presented themselves to the leaders Of life in tine days between Abraham and Saint Paul-Edward Everett Hale in Christian Register.

ed to the Occidental drawing room
 Among the most dexterous of the
 agabonds and fakirs of India are the sheet stealers. I do not refer to the clumsy operator who takes the cloth esline in the watches of the night but the bold and skilful manipulator who takes the sheet off your bed while you are sleeping on it.
 This is a common East Indian trick, and the way the knaves man. age it is ingenious The swarthy ad- lnirer of linen before entering a bunga- low or tent anoints himself thoroughly with coccanut oil, which is done in order that should any one be awake and seize him he may be enabled to Wrigle from his grasp like an eel. Thus prepared he creeps into the house as noiselessly as possible.
 "The nights in India are generally warm and oppressive and the sleep of most people, though heavy, is uneasy and disturbed. This the thief is we'll aware of an he takes advantage of it. He crouehes at the side of the bed and with a feather gently ttickles the nose of the sleeper, who, half dozing, rubs his nose and turns over. While he i is turning little of the sheet is with drawn from under him. When fast asleep the feather is applied again, and this process is repeated until the entire sheet is withdrawn.
 Sometime the thief rolls the sheet mp as closely as possible to the body Of the sleeper and when the uneasy occupant of the bed turns over he lrolls off the sheet. This is about the cleverest trick that is performed in the Orient. New York Sun.

A BAD RRlRATH.

Nothing is more offensive than to sit next to or converse with a person who has a bad breath. Paxtine Toilet lAnti- septic cleanses and disinfects the mouth and renders the breath sweet and agreeable.
 Mrs, l., s, Simpson of Wilmington, Del, writes My husband and | both use Paxtine for our teeth and as a mouth wash and we have never found anything so good. It not only removes the discolorations from the teeth but leaves 8 clean, refreshing taste in the IT cuth."
 For women's special toilet uses Pax tine has no equal. As fast as one wom- an learns of it's value she is sure to tell others, which accounts for the large sale Paxtlne is having everywhere. Have you tried Paxtine? 50c at drug gists, The R, Paxton Co.,, Boston, Mass,
