Life-giving.

All good teaching is llfe-glving.
All good teachers are life-savers and
life-enrichers. This is to be accept
ed literally by all teachers that as
pire to teach in His power Precious
to men are the remote lodges in
which are imbedded the virgin gold;
more precious still are the sandy
stretches from which sparkle the
sapphire and the diamond; but in
finitely more precious to men are
the cleaning gems of life that Gods
generosity has set in the bodies of
children. To see this life as His gift,
to polish 1t until 1t reflects again the
image of its giver. or to keep It
from the beginning pure and unspot-
ted as He kept it-this is the teach
er's task. To be the holy custodian
of life, to vision it as Gods precious
and expanding gift, to enrich it by
contact with the laws and purposes
set by Him in the world OF things
about us, to help it in its quest for
kinship in the abounding life, to
lead 1t at last to identify itself with
the life He gave and of which it is
part-this is the teachers goal. Its
achievement is the teachers highest
reward.-M. Brumbaugh, in Sunday
school Times.

The Moray.

The Aquarium yesterday acquired
a sea monster, a spotted moray, which
is formidable name for q species of
eel. 1t is eight feet long, as large
in diameter as fat cat and resem-
bles an enormous eel except that its
head. with a mouth like an undershot
bulldog, is crowned with a ridge of
spikes. 1t came from Bermuda.
Often the moray has been taken
for a sea serpent by green fishermen,
as it lives near the surface and often
lies with its head on the rocks, seek
ing birds eggs and crabs. Superin-
tendent Morgan says this moray is
not extraordinarily large, as they
grow to fifteen feet and often swim
with head elevated above the sea-

THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABoUr
THE VICE OF INTENfpEisANcE.

The Drink Habit in Canada-An
Alarming Increase Both Among
the Men and the Women--
Causes That Contribute to This.
Canon Welch rendered good SER
vice by his straight and rather cour-
ageous words of denunciation touch
ing the social habits Of not a few OF
Toronto's -four hundred" and the
general increase not only in drink
ing, but also in drunkenness. The
sermon, addressed to a Massey Hall
audience composed largely of the
militia forces of Toronto and the An
Client and Honorable Artillery Com
pany OF Massachusetts, was a timely
warning against a growing evil In
Canadian life. And It required not
only the prophets sense of public re-,
sponsibillty, but also his fearlessness
for the preacher from st. James to
strike SO direct blow at one of the
chief sins of the social circles to which
not a few of those who heard his
words belong.
Canon Welch is quite within the
mark in his estimate of the down.
grade tendencies during the past ten
years. Not only do the police records
show an alarming increase in the
number of convictions for drunken
ness, but those who know the habits
of society as seen at small pleasure
parties, at social functions, at private
and semi-private dinners and at ban
quets of various sorts, know right
well that the use of wines and liquors
has considerably increased and is now
common in circles where it was un-
of the drink habit among women Is
even more alarming than among men.
Not only at private parties, but also
on semi-public occasions at leading
downtown restaurants and hotels the
ugly facts are too often forced into
prominence.
A variety of causes "ontributcs to
the present situation. rhe influx of
people from Britain, where the drink
habit is more prevalent, has provided
recruits for the roll of drunkenness
at both ends of the social scale. The
shifting of the emphasis In the tenn
pera1ce crusade from the total absti-
nence of the individual to prohibi-
tion by the State has allowed the
growth of generation very largely
untaught and unpledged, so far as
personal convictions and habits are
concerned. The general prosperity
of the country, providing an abun-
dance for the average man and lux
ury for not few, has made possible
excessive expenditures in all direc-
tions, and with many excess in eating
and drinking and dressing is the most
desirable way of using surplus wealth.
Among women, especially among a
certain class of young women, the
foolish notion that drinking cham-
pagne is "chic," Just a little bit
wicked, is sufficient reason for ac-
quiring the habit.-Toronto Globe.

END OF THE WORLD IN 1917.
This Is Prediction Made by Israelites
Who Are Here.

Keep your lamps trimmed and
burning for the end of the world is at
hand. This event will take place
sometime in the year 1917, which will
give the hayward and erring nine
years to get into the fold.
This is the text of a doctrine which
is being expounded nightly at the cor
ner of Sixth and Kansas avenues, by
q sect new to Topeka, known as the
Israelites. This faith now has three
expounders in the city, Francis Wort,
John Barrett and Ada Ross. No titles
such as Mr. or REV" preface the
names of these apostles of the faith.
The headquarters of this brand of re-
ligious thinkers is at Benton Harbor.
Mich, and their work is carried on by
aid of the collections which they re-
ceive at their street meetings. The
three travel in a covered wagon from
town to town. One of the teachings
of the sect is that of the life of the
body which is in contradiction to the
orthodox theory of the spirit leaving
the body and the body being left to
mould in the grave after death. These
three representatives are planning to
remain in the city until they have Sc
cured a sufficient number of converts
to carry on their work here. The men
wear their hair long.

which is not affected by either heat

MARSHALL WANTS MORE.
Asks Permission to Raise Tax Levy
Above the Maximum.

Marshall county is appealing to the
state tax commission today for permis-
sion to increase it's tax levies above the
amount of the limit fixed at the spec
ial session of the legislature.
Marshall county suffered severely
from the flood. There were 81 steel
bridges washed out there. and the
county needs to raise about $4,000 over
the limit fixed by law In order to make
the repairs. The only way the county
can get this permission is through the
state tax commission. County Attor-
ney Guy Helvering, and County Com.
missioners Parker and Kennedy were
before the tax commission, and testi-
fed on oath concerning the desires of
the people of the county and the ur-
gency OF the demand. It Is likely that
Marshall county will be allowed to in
crease its levy to raise the desired
amount, but the commission has not
yet announced Its decision.
The cities of Pittsburg and Weir
City also presented their requests to
be allowed to increase their levies. They
want to build more school houses and
increase school facilities more than the
law permits.
