CHRISTIAN LOVE.

In each prosperous i,iOus parish
sabbath bells ring long and loud;
t. each cunSccrated building
Moves proud, distinguished crowd.
Through the richly coiured windows
Tempered CLEANS demureiy steal,
Graceful forms in dainty garments
Bow their heads and meekly kneel;
Saintiike priests in holy vestmenis
Soothe and bless the gathered lhrong
And the organ notes blend softly
Love is meek and suffers long,
Love is kind and thinks no wrong.'
Monday dawns, and sheep and shepherd
For the sweets of riches sigh,
Sting each other, shrink and tremble,
AT the thought that they must die;
And the mighty Christian nations
Seek to crush each weaker State,
For the love of power and glory
Deepen pain and kindle hate;
Wild appeals for simple Justice.
Rise from helpless. suffering bands,
Bitter cries from starving thousands
Float from famine stricken lands.
And they shock the cultured throng,
And they drown their gentle song.
Skeptics smile and softly whisper,
Loves myth and Faith is vain;
G, nics frown and coldly echo.
"All lnen live for selfish gain
Sunhcams Hood the Earth with glory,
Flowers peep out, and wild birds sing,
Little children shout with gladness,
Grateful for the gift of Spring;
Mothers toll and never murnur,
Making homelife glad and bright,
Lo"ly workmen cling to duty
Live true lives, becanse It's right
Proving Love is real and strong,
And can vanquish shame and wrong,
-Lm +. Vernon.

LOVE AND THEOLOGY.

A cannihal maiden loved too well
A missionary good.
And he loved her: but dare not tell
His love, for thus he stood:
A cannibal she and clergyman he,
And their creeds were wide apart;
And how could he take,
For sentiments sake,
A cannbal to his heart?
Oh, twas Il problem vexing very,
For the cannibal maid and the mission
AIRY.
Indeed it was.
But the cannibal maiden love grew bold
For she was a simple thing,
And thus her love to her love she told:
"Oh, marry me, be my king!
For love you my sweet
Well enough to eat!
1tis n terrible thing, | know,
But must be your bride,
Or encompass you fried
Oh, l must, for love you so!'
Oh, twas a problem vexing very,
To the maid, but more to the missionary
Indeed it was.
He looked in the depths of her dark brown
eyes,
With their wealth OF love and trust.
And he cried in flush of glad surprise
"Ah well, if must, Imust.''
They were wed that day,
There was no other way,
That passion must conquer creed;
And happier pair
It's remarkably rare
To discover-it is, indeed.
And so twas settled nicely, very,
For the cannibal maid and the mission
Indeed it was.

The possibilities of evasion held

New Lessons From the Bee.

So long and so often has the bee
been held up to us as the model of in
dustry, foresight and earnestness of
purpose. that 1t is quite refreshing to
find the busy little creature has its
weaknesses in common with the rest
Of animated creation 1t is true that
the object lesson comes all the way
from Jamaica, but this does not
weaken its welcome.
1t must be remembered that Jamaica
has an all-the-year-round climate of
almost torrid mildness and an atmos-
pheric condition that does not promote
active physical exercise. 1t was this
uniformity Of temperature that prompt
ed an experimenter to take a colony
of bees to the island, together with
many hives of modern construction.
There in that land Of perpetual sum-
mer, the beekeeper argued that the
bees would cheerfully put in 365 days
of hard labor each year. to the conse-
Quent betterment of the honey yield.
But alas for the dreams of cloying
sweetness! The bees straightway de-
clined to be a party to the scheme. In
land of perpetual summer. why
should they toll? Why should they
lay up winter stores when there was
no winter? In short, they dropped
their old habits Of industry and idled
about the island as if they didn't have
a care in the world. Presumably, they
made social calls and gossiped and dis
cussed the latest aparian topics Any
way, they did not unload a single sac
Of honey in those modern hives, and
the beekeeper acknowledges the COM
plete failure of his experiment
This is another proof that we are
largely the creatures of climatic influ-
ence. If the temperature takes from
us the incentive for work. why should
We labor? Why distress ourselves with
those energy wasting pursuits, industry
and accumulation? This at least
would seem to be the latest lesson of
the bee.

EIectrificat alton of Steam Roads.

The Canadian Pacific Railway has
had under contemplation the using OF
electric power generated at Bonning
ton Falls on the section of its road be-
tween Robson and Rossland There is
but little doubt that this will be done
in time. and when one portion Of the
road is operated by electricity its use
Is certain to extend to other parts 1t
is interesting in this connection to
note that the advisability of wholesale
electrificatiOn of all the railroads in
the United States was formally con-
sidered in the abstract before the Elec-
trical Engineering Association, and
the question has been found SO great
that the meetings were marked more
by contention and argument than by
definite results or conclusions. Figures
presented show the estimated expendi-
ture involved should every mile of
railroad in the United States be re-
constructed for operation by electricity
and the rolling equipment changed to
correspond. The total cost of such a
change is given at about 81 500, 900 900.
Electrical power-houses to give a total
of 100000 kilowatts or $500 900
horsepower would be required Fif-
teen hundred million of dollars is a
sum so vast that it means nothing to
the average person, and yet it repre-
sents an investment so stupendous that
only an extremely small portion of it
can be considered to have any relation
to the immediate future
The economy of such a change has
been estimated. In prospect, as consid
cradle. Present operating costs for the
movement of every car and engine in
the country total 81 1,400,O 900 in one

reduced to about $25O,000,00O repre-
senting that much actual and net saw

but 1t only emphasizes the magnitude
OF the project Of universal electrifica-
tion; for the most radical advocates of
the new power have not yet dared to
claim that the saving, large as II
seems. would warrant the change in
Its entirety.
Under certain special conditions
however, the new power will stand su-

"Coal Oil Johnny"

The death of John Ward, known as
Goal Oil Johnny" ended the career of
a man who at one time was a national
character and the envy of tens of thou
sands of thoughtless people. He was
among those who suddenly acquired
wealth through the development Of the
Pennsylvania oil fields. An unexpected
turn of the wheel of fortune made him
a millionaire and opened up to him all
the possibilities for useful activity that
wealth afforded-and at that time they
were even greater than they are now.
Ward had not the capacity to ex-
pend with his fortune. He was in
capable Of appreciating the RESPONSE
bilities than accompany the power that
even money affords. He spent his mil
lions as he would have done his weeks
wages. He blew money in over the
bar. He INDUCED in unheard-of ex-
travagances to have what he considered
a good time. He used ten-dollars bills
as cigar lighters in order to convince
his gaping companions of his utter dis.
regard for money. Then the oil trust
invaded the field from which his mil
lions were drawn and it was not long
before wastefulness combined with the
fight with the trust wiped out the last
dollar of his fortune Ward came West
and during the last eighteen years had
been a hanger-on about the saloons of
East Grand Forks, where he dropped
dead on Thursday from excessive
alcohOlism-an Outcast.
Coal Oil Johnny's case is not unique,
but it is typical. 1t illustrates the
futility Of attempting to be other than
nature intended us to be. How many
Of those who admire and envy the
President for his influence and energy
would make as good use of the same
gifts? How many of those who rant
against the captains of industry would
not become Coal Oil Johnnies il wealth
were suddenly thrust upon them? It
is not what any man has that counts.
It's what he does with his opportuni-
ties. How many of those who do not
hesitate to say Coal Oil Johnny was a
fool are lighting cigars with the tai.

Pe-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Hhould q list of the ingredients of Pc
ma be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, of whatever school or nationality,
be would be obliged to admit without
reserve that the medicinal herbs COM
posing Pcruna are of two kinds. First,
standard and well-tried catarrh rene
dies. Second, well-known and gener-
ally acknowledged tomb remedies.
That in one or the other of these uses
they have stood the test of many years.
Experience by physicians of different
schools. There can be no dispute about
sthis, whatever. Peruna is composed of
some OF the most efficacious and uni
xsrsally used herbal remedies for ca
tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions
of the human system as require tonic.
Each one of the principal ingredients
of Peruna has q reputation of its own
in the cure of some phase of catarrh or
as tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited doc
tors over and over again, and been told
that their case is one of chronic catarrh.
It may be of the nose, throat, lungs,
stomach or some other internal organ.
There is no doubt as to the nature of
the disease. The only trouble is the
remedy. This doctor has tried to cure
them. That doctor has tried to pre-
scribe for them.
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection of the critics.

SAYS MARRIAGE
INSURES LIFE.
Prof. LANCE Finds Bachelor
Have Weak Stomaens as Wei
a. Heads and Hearts.

A German scholar named LANCE,
who has given much attention to the
question whether married men OF
bachelors live the longer. records his
emphatic verdict in favor of the mar.
ried men. He has studied the sick
funds and insurance statistics OF
Europe and America, and this is his
solemn conclusion:
Not only do married men live
longer. but they are more immune as
regards sickness. Lange has a pile OF
statistics from places where various
epidemics have prevailed, the range
covering Hamburg, Liverpool, Chi.
cago, Rome, and in every case, wheth.
er the disease has been cholera, ty.
plus, smallpox or measles, the bach.
elors have caught the disease first,
have succumbed first, and show by far
the highest rate of mortality. 1t is
when they become somewhat aged
that bachelors show the greatest ten
dency to illness.
1t speaks volumes for their selfish
and one-sided way of life that the dis.
eases to which they are most prone
are diseases of the organs of diges-
ton. From diseases of the throat
they are peculiarly free, whatever this
may signify.
Their hearts, such as they have,
are in bad way. Professor LANCE
says diseases of the heart in bachelors
are more numerous and take far more
dangerous forms than among mar.
ried men. What does this signify?
Does it mean that the hearts of the
selfish ones grow bad" from want OF
movement and the practice Of love
and charity? Lahge does not say.
Another point. Madness and lunacy
in all their terrible shapes are more
frequent among bachelors. Any
psychiatriss in good practice will con.
firm this. There are wards in public
asylums where among certain kinds
of lunacy quite eighty per cent. are
bachelors; and the strange thing is
that they are mostly incurable cases.
The moral is obvious.-Berlin Cor.
respondence of the New York World.
