Ma,irid's Trying Climates.

Queen Victoria's complaint against
the terrible summer heat and equally
trying winter cold of Madrid, the
Spanish capital, precipitates the ques-
ton Of the advisability of moving the
government to Barcelona. Madrid
is situated unfavorably from almost
any standpoint. The surrounding
plateau is treeless, exposing the city
to the scorching south winds in sum-
mer and the frigid breezes that de-
scend from the ~snow-covered Sierra
Guadrarama in winter. In contrast
with this uncomfortable situation
Barcelona's equable climate, due in
large part to her position on the Med
iterranean, appeals strongly to the
Spanish lover of a Barcelona has
long been the commercial centre Of
Spain.

cement From Blast Furnace Stag.

IT I. .HHF. fHHr- #.#.
An invention which should have
~far-reaching effect upon the Portland
cement industry, and which incident
ally will enable a hitherto useless
product to be turned to commercial
advantage, has recently been per-
fected by Mr.. Sherard Cowper-Coles,
the well known English electro-metal-
lurgist. This invention consists OF
the direct production Of cement from
blast furnace Stag. The latter is
taken when still molten as it issues
from the furnace and conducted to
an electric furnace, where Its tenn
aperature is further increased. Dur
Ing this period a PREDETERMINED GUAM
tity of chalk is added to the Stag, and
the whole then subjected to electro:
'lysis, which brings about certain re-
actions producing a Portland cement
equal in strength and quality to the
best grades obtained by the existing
methods, at a very small cost as COM
pared with the generally adopted pro-
cess and in practically one operation.

Helping to a Fresh Start.

The sinner must bear the RESPONSE
bility for his own sin. Each man
shall bear his own burden" Yet even
if a man be caught in a fragrant tres
pass, the way to fulfil Christ's law
of burden-bearing is to help lift the
burden and give the sinner a fresh
start. Sins weight of secret remorse
is always woeful. The possibility of
beginning anew is always glorious.
Make the possible restoration actual
by forgiveness and sympathy, or your
Christian profession is vain.
Christianity is proven less by the
discipline of sinners than by the res
toration of them. Perhaps the restor-
alton may be through discipline, but
most often the discipline is through
restoration.-Pacific Baptist.
