Safety of the Night.

A man who stayed at his Office to
work one evening was surprised to see
man come in about nine o'clock
armed with scrubbing pail and window
mop.
will it bother you if | clean the
windows now?" he asked.
NO" said the man, lit won't bother
me; but, great scott, you don't clean
windows at night, do your"
in this building we always do was
the reply. Most cleaners would rather
work at night. They can't see, then,
how far it is to the ground, conse.
quently they are not so likely to get
dizzy, and there are fewer accidents.
For that reason half the window clean

Joke on Palmetto State.

Representative Adamson of Georgia

Johnson of South Carolina, and told
this story about the red hills of the
Palmetto state:
why, Johnson, South Carolina land.
or most of It, is too poor to even raise
a difficulty on. heard of an old fel.
low over there who was greatly wor.
ried about his neighbours cattle get.
ting into his pasture. His own cattle
didn't get half enough to keep them
alive, and the old fellow didn't see
how he could afford to let his neigh.
boris cattle share it with them.
THE old man went to his neighbor
and made complaint He said he was
not hunting trouble, but that his cat
tie must stay at home.
'Neighbor, was the reply, L am
sorry my cattle are worrying you and
hate to see them die, but If you will
just let them stay in your pasture two
days they will starve to death. Just
put up the fence and keep them in and
they'll starve as sure as you live"

Wanderinas of a SeaauIl.

On October 2S last there was shot
at Ouchy, on Lake Lemon, a seagull
aged about 16 months which was
found to be wearing on its claw a
silver ring engraved with the words
"Vogel station, Rossitten 20" Rosslt-
ten is situated in the Lido of the Cort-
land lagoon, between Konigsberg and
Memel, in the Baltic, $500 kilometers
from the Lake of Geneva.
M. Forel Of Lausanne communi-
Gated with DR.. j. Thienemann, direct
or of the pathological station at
Rossitten. According to the latest
notes the gull No. 20 was Matched
there and was marked with the ring
when a few weeks old before it could
fly, on July 4, 1905. 1t seems prob
able that it had thus made two win
ter migrations before it fell a victim
to the human barbarian.

HIGH PLAY IN 'AsHINeToN.
Heavy Gambling a Part Of Social Life
of the City.

Probably in no other city in America
does this nightly card playing take on
so much Of the atmosphere of the
Riviera as in Washington. There are
many foreigners there, and they play
the game with that picturesque fever
ishness which is typical of their nature
and training The great majority of
foreign attaches are not equipped
financially for the exactions Of the
game, but their position compels them
to accept every invitation.
Their argument-while attacked by
many as one showing lack of moral
courage-is quite satisfactory to them.
They say they were not sent to this
country to play the part of scholarly
recluse. They must be in evidence at
all smart functions. What would be
thought of them, they ask, IL they
sternly refused to play bridge for
money when the world they move in,
and the world they represent, consid-
ers 1t the right thing to do?
Their ministers play! Members Of
the cabinet play! They scarcely feel
like directing to themselves and to
their legations the ridicule and criti-
cism which would follow the guest who
slips away between dinner and bridge.
SO they play If they lose on their
small incomes it becomes necessary
for them to recoup, and the only way
to do this is to go to more bridge
parties.
Washington is prominently city
of the leisure classes, and the almost
continuous social season there raises
bridge to it's most glittering height

JERUSALEM A PLACE oF WOE.
Holy City and It's inhabitants Fallen
on Evil Ways.

Miss Helen NJ. Smith entertained a
large company in the ballroom of the
Tuileries this morning by an animated
description of the far eastern coun-
tries, says the Boston Transcript. She
presented pictures of places rich in
classic and biblical interest-Constan-
tinople, Smyrna (where the tomb OF
Polycarp isl, the ruins of the temple
of Diana at Ephesus, Jaffa and Jeru-
salem were all described in wonderful.
ly entertaining fashion.
There was a narration of the grad.
ual climb of four hours to the latter
city which is 5000 feet above the sea.
Great areas of brilliant red flowers,
the lilies of the field" make a strik.
ing impression during this journey.
Jerusalem" said Miss Smith, cannot
fail to disappoint-grieve one with
ideals. There is so much dirt, deprav-
ity and deceit; so many Calvaries, SO
many graves from which the stone
was rolled away! There is only one
Gethsemane, but it is a tawdIv, arti-
fetal place-in no sense the secluded
spot where the suffering Savior wept
alone The Mount of Olives probably
looks as it did 1900 years ago. 1t was,
indeed, the only place where felt rev.
erence for the holy land. From it
could see the River Jordan the Dead
sea, and follow, in fancy, the wander
ing step of Abraham and feel the in
fluence of the prophets of old
Jerusalem to-day is surely in need
of an enlightened prophet who will rid
the city of its filth, bring healthy con-
ditions to it's half-blind children, and a
better sense of right to it's morally de
PRAYED people. Here, where the best
examples of Christianity should be
shown are seen the worst. Never mind
where the actual cross borne along
the Via Dolorosa, the cross of ignor
ance that is crushing the people should
be lifted. All ways in Jerusalem to-
day are ways of sorrow"

Rest.

The ancient Job longed for the rest
of the grave, and thereby exhibited
just bit of cowardice, besides miss
ing life's true meaning. Real rest is
not inactivity-not cessation from en-
deavor, but is an abiding peace, flow
ing out from God. The founder of
Christianity, acknowledged great
philosopher, promised rest to the
weary of earth, and His competency to
thus speak is largely indicated by His
own composure under every trying cir
cumstance. 1t is the worlds need
rest amid life's distractions. The most
of us are trying to find satisfaction in
outward circumstance, forgetting all
the while that the kingdom of heaven
the one satisfying state-is within
or not at all in so far as we are con-
cerned. An ancient statement has in
it parable of life But the dove
found no rest for the sole of her foot,
and she returned unto him into the
ark" Ours is a lost paradise to regain
which we must be able to answer to
God without being afraid. That means
for us rest when the conflict Is fiercest
repose when all about is in alarm.
Then are they glad, because they are
at rest, and so He bringeth them unto
the haven where they would be-

New Bills Not Popular.

According to the Washington Post,
quoting cashier, bank officials do
not prefer fresh, new bills to old ones.
Everybody doesn't care for new
greenbacks," said a cashier. 1T is a
common idea that bank cashiers do
not care to give up crisp paper money.
AS matter of fact, nine cashiers out
of every ten try to get rid of new
money as quickly as possible after re-
ceiving it. There is grave danger to
the average paying teller in handling
unused money. New Bank notes stick
together. Frequently the ink is not
thoroughly dry
