This overlooking of the waste water is
neatly prevented by the contrivance
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton, which the inventor calls a ''refrig
orator alarm" Extending from Il
bracket attached to the refrigerator is
a pivoted float which rests i'll the
waste water basin. As the water in
the basin increases the float gradually
rises also. When the water reaches
a predetermined height a small project
ing arm comes in contact with 4 spring
bell, causing the latter to ring until
the basin is withdrawn. With this
warning the housewife knows instantly

THE PURPOSE OF LENT.

By Rev. GUY A.

By Rev. Guy A. Jameson.
For there is a time for every pur-
pose and every wOrk.-Ecclesiastes
Ill, II.
SO spoke the wise man, and, though
he never dreamed of the season we call
Lent, we can apply his words to the
forty days preceding castor, for it is
a time for a distinct purpose and work.
The theater and card party do not
become suddenly wrong during the
Lenten season. We do not give them
UP for that reason, but because we
have set our minds and hearts on other
definite things and we will not have
time to carry on both successfully.
Lent is time for self-introspection
for taking a religious and spiritual in
ventory as it were. 4 time to compare
our actual lives with the ideal life we
would live. But some one might say
we ought to live all the year just as we
live during Lent. Suppose we were to
try lido you not think we would soon
become very gloomy, abnormal, fanat-
zeal, self-centered, morbid, untitled for
the common duties of life? And Christ
is the last person who would have us
become this. He came teaching men
how to live so that life would become
a beautiful, blessed thing. Religion
is not the end of life. 1t is only
means to an end, and that end is use
fulness and happiness.
INT in, hot J.
desirable to live the religious life Of
Lent during all the year, we do not
speak of the Christ life. In fact it is
the purpose Of Lent through days of
prayer and meditation and work to Gull
tiyate the spirit that will enable us to
live the Christian life through all the
year. And if it does not in a measure
serve this end it has failed of it's pur-
pose The purpose Of Lent should be
to become better men and women, that
we may be given to nobler thought,
gentler words, kindlier act
To this end we give up the gayeties
Of life for a season. Not because they
are wrong, but because we want to give
ourselves TO more serious things. But
our prayers, our self-eXaminatiOnS, our
attendance upon many services, our
curtailment of the luXuries Of life will
profit us but little if they do not as
sist US to Danish from our minds all
skeptical, pessmistic and uncharitable
thoughts. All these things are to make
US better. They are not ends in them
selves and the thought the prayer, the
aspiration that should hover in our
souls during the whole of Lent should
be Lord, help me to be better. Help
me to grow toward my ideal" And
we will find that the Lord will help us
if we seek to help ourselves by earnest
effort at sacrifice, earnest endeavor to-
ward good
Not only ought we to struggle against
weaknesses and wrong habits, but we
should start upon a course of positive
rightness. The best way to overcome
negative faults is to bring to bear upon
them positive virtues Our sins of
omission may be as great hindrance
to our living the Christian life as our
sins Of commission. Our bad habits
may best be overcome by seeking to
form good ones. This, l think, is the
purpose of Lent. This is the work
we should seek to do, if we hope to
realize permanent spiritual returns
from the season.

private graft as applied to the nc
ceptance of commissions, was libel
upon the plaintiff as a matter of law.
AS to the term lobbyist" Judge
Hough said that it had ben used
in Wisconsin by the Legislature without
meaning anything opprobrious, but not
so in this statement, and it was for the
jury to say whether the use of the term
published in New York, was one that
held Mr.. Philip up to ridicule, Obloquy
and contempt and to what monetary eX
tent.
On punitive damages the jury was to
determine if the defendant, wantonly,
and without Confederation, published the
charges. Judge Hough said he did not
think Baker had any real malice toward
the plaintiff.
Argument of Defense.
Gilbert T.. Roe for the defense, made
the concluding argument of counsel His
contention was that the Northern Re
frigeratOr Transit company of which Mr..
Philip was vice president. was really a
dummy corporation formed for the pur-
pose Of accepting commissions That the
latter company had accepted commits

sum Of 100000, claiming that he had
sustained damages through the publica-
tlOn OF an article Wnlcn dealt with the
report of the state railway commission
of Wisconsin to Robert NJ. La Toilette,
then governor of the state In this re-
port Mr. Philip was charged with VIC
lation of the rate law. but the commits
sioners later admitted that q mistake
had been made.
On the witness stand, Mr.. Philip tps-
tilted that he told Mr.. Baker that the
company never had received a dollar of
commissions subsequent to January /.
1903. and also told him that the railway
commissioners examiners had made n
mistake. Mr.. Phillip said that at the
conclusion of his talk with Mr.. Baker
the latter said he was satisfied that
mistake had been made and that he
would return to New York and write
a retraction.
The trial began Monday in New York
and there was some tall; of calling Sena-
tor La Toilette as a witness, but this
was not done.

PUBLIC OPINION AND THE PRESS
By Charles j. Bonaosrfe,

The press makes each community
acquainted with its neighbor. And,
as we know other men better, we
recognize the more thoroughly and
readily their likeness to ourselves,
and, as consequence, the universal
application of underlying moral laws
amidst all diversities Of national or
local custom or prejudice. 1t is the
exercise of this common moral stand
ard which qualities the press for it's
highest and most useful function.

pie, who are naturally averse to 4
pauper's grave, and partly because the
lower rate probably viii reduce the
number of free graves and thus be ad-
vantageous to the Colonial Treasury,
The G0rera0r introduced the amend
ments, which he recommended for adoption
by the Council they are owing TO private
initiative in the Colonial Council Of st.
Thomas, where they were accepted by Gov
eanment. As regards the amendment to : 4
1st clause, he would say, that personally he
considered it most expedient to have the
P~olicemaster as Chairman, but as the
amendment is in accordance with the
principle of Ordinance 8 AuCut 1907 on
the construction of several communal Com
missions in st. Croix, Under which each Com
mission elects its ewa Chairman, and as the
Colonial Council favours this organization,
Government would not object to it here.
AS regards the 2nd amendment namely
to s 10, the circumstances are sufficiently
explained in the remarks to the amendment,
Free graves are given rather freely and are
a positive expense to the Colonial Treasury
and the change now proposed may be adj
vantageous to the Colonial Treasury, which
will receive from the private party what it
pays to the Sexton. He recommended the
amendments for adoption by the Colonial
Council.
No one requested the word further; 3rd

ments were put TO the vote and adopted
