QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

Any person may send any biblical ques-
ton to Dr. Gilbert, 1903 r street, this city,
and receive answer in The Star.
365. What is the difference between
the words soul and spirit as used In
Scripture?
= Answer. The words are frequently used
as synonyms. To be more exact. spirit
means the immaterial part of man con-
sidered by itself-that is. without any ref
erence to the corporal part-and soul is
more properly applied to the same entity
when considered with relation to its rela-
ton to the body. Spirit is the imma terial
man related to God and the unseen world.
Soul is the imma terial man related to the
material world. Man faces two realms OF
being, and these two terms indicate the
powers by which he sustains relations
with those two realms. This distinction.
as. stated before, is technical and philo-
sophical, found only occasionally in Scrip
ture when needed to set forth some ele
waited spiritual truth pertaining to the
higher interests of men Rom., viii:6D.

BURROWS SPEECH.

The speech of Senator Burrows
chairman of the Republican national
convention, was submitted to the
powers that be before it was deliv-
cred, and 1t is said they decided that
there was nothing Objectionable in
the same.
Reading of the speech will convince
almost any one that the powers were
right.
1t is about as thrilling as a pat Mt
office report. and as interesting as a
dissertation on molecules.
There is strained and labored ef
fort to show by the records that the
Republican party has done every.
thing that was possible to accomplish
and credit for everything is given
that party, including the weather, the
crops and the increase In population.
There is not a single keynote sound
ed In the whole of the long address
with which the chairman afflicted the
ears of his auditors. There is not an
eplgram; there is MT sentence in
1t that will live beyond the eonven
ton

Anchor ON the Dust-Pan.

The virtues of the dust-pan as a
household convenience have been
long since recognized to the extent
I at the implement has now come
into almost universal use in all the
civilized countries, but a serious
feature connected with It's use is the
STOPPING involved. With the pan in
one hand, and its companion-piece,
the dust brush in the other, the OPP
orator must stoop continually, so
that the work is more than usually
tiregome. A long-handled dust-pan
Is in use to some limited extent. but
II requires a long-handleC brush,
also, which is unsuited for all kinds
Of work.
A very welcome improvement is
shown in the cut herewith, which
