This is the fact that Pasteur STUN
bled upon His first incubation he
made from rabid COW. The period of
incubation in a rabbit was fourteen
days. There it continued until the
twenty eighth remove, when it dropped
to eight days. At last, at the succeed
Ing twenty-fifth remove, it attained the
seven-day virulence and then in due
course the six. A fixed virus then is
one that produces rabies six days after
incubation. The virus of constant
strength was thus attained The next
point was to regulate its strength This
was accomplished through the discov-
cry of the fact that exposure to light,
heat and moisture had a weakening or

Any one of the three is a controllable
factor. Therefore Pasteur devised a
method by which the virus should be
exposed for a certain length of time in

Chinese Justice.

A certain Chinese taoti (magistrate),
having told his men to have two ingots
of gold sent to his treasury for purchase,
the shopmen brought them in, and, In
answer to the query of the taotai, told
him that the price was so rauch in taels,
but added: This is the ordinary price,
but for your honor we VIII knock off
one-half Of the price"
Then the taotai said to his underlings:
Seeing that they are to sell to me at
only half price, just give them back one
iRgot of gold, ano put the other in my
treasury, and thus their account is set
tied. Goodbye"
The underlings of the yamen did so,
but still the shopmen hung around wait,
Ing. The taoti asked them why they
We're waiting, when their account had
been already settled. Said the shopman:
When did your honor pay your humble
servants?'
Then the magistrate answered with a
very fierce air: ''Tiao nu ts'ail (imper-

these two gold ingots were half price to

beaten and driven from the field. A
soldier of the Danes who had been

some one say:
"Oh, SIR, give me a drink, for / am

He was lying on the ground only a
little way off The Dane went to him
at once. He knelt down by the side of
his fallen foe and pressed the flask to
his lips Drink" said he, for thy
need is greater than mine"
Hardly had he spoken these words
when the Swede raised himself on his
elbow. He pulled a pistol from his
pocket and shot at the man who would
have befriended him. The bullet graz

him much harm.
"Ah. you rascal" he cried. II was
going TO befriend you, and you repay
me by trying to kill me. Now / will

the saddest dream that ever was

of the old wording, Vanity of vani-

And now, brothers, fellow travellers

Of the apostles testimony concerning

you not also believe In the second part

Why not seek that which is best and

termined resolve to live by the word

Now is the accepted time. Now is
the day of salvation. And If it is not
worth while now to hear Gods word,
you may be assured that it will not be
worth while to do SO in the coming
ages. If we will not live the higher

assuredly will not do so when we cross
over the bridge and come to the other
