riches far above silver and gold-the

In America there was a day, and not

our noble types of gir,aood, types which
gave to our nationality an individuality all

boasted dynasties of the old world.
Those types. alas, are vanishing. Our

Yes, We Are Advancing.

A noted eccelesiastic recently said
the world is getting worse instead of
better. He is evidently a pessimist,
whose DessimiGm is nat justified. To
he surefif one looks ut the question
within narrow limits of time and
space he may see no progress. To
compare the moral condition Of the
world today with yesterday may re-
veal nothing, but the comparison OF
decade with decade and century with
century does. That the millennium
is still in the far distance most peo-
ple will admit. but any average stu
dent of history can see that the world
as comrared with former ages has
made a great advance. Here and
there have been eddies and back
currents but still the stream of moral
progress has flowed steadily on. In
all this, Christianity has been a
mighty and beneficent force, in spite
of crude, hard theologies and the
of many of its ad-
hcrents, and the power of the Naz-
arene was never so great as now.

An Essential Requirement.

The decision OF the Illinois Su-
preme Court in refusing citizenship
TO man who kept his saloon open
on Sunday will probably meet with
the approval of most people. Citi-
zensnlp implies obedience 70 the law
and the Court rightly took the
ground that man knowingly and
persistentiy violating law was not
fit TO be citizen.
The decision Ought to serve as d
warning in more ways than one.
Too often people have been natural
lied who for reasons like the above,
or others equally vital, were motor
iously unfit for citizenship and they
have added to the difficulty of'main-
tanning and enforcing law and were
a menace to the community in which
they lived.
But it also has or should have an
important bearing upon the whole
question of law observance and law
enforcement. II a man is unht 10
become citizen because Of persistent
violation OF law, is man who is
already citizen nit to retain his
citizenship if guilty along the same
lines? And. also, is the man who
after swearing to enforce laws on his
induction to office, but who deliber-
ately breaks his oath, fit to retain
Office or his citizenship? The Hi
nois Supreme Court in its decision
in the above mentioned case uttered
sound doctrine when it said, 1T is
essential to the safety and the per-
petuity of government that laws be
enforced until repealed.

ure. Hence, as a writer In HarpeT's
Weekly points out, every stable is a
center OF Infection unless periodical
ly disinfected. The fly maggot is also
hatched out in latrineS and ash-pit
refuse, such as bedding, straw, rage,
paper, scraps of meat, fruit, ETC., on
which substances the larvae subsist
after they hatch. which occurs in
about twelve days after the egg has
been laid. 1t is estimated that a
single fly, laying 120 eggs at time,
will produce progeny amounting
TO sextillions by the end Of the sea-
son.
The number of bacteria upon a
single fly have been proved to range
all the way from $50 to 100000.
The average for Ala flies which were
examined at the agricultural eXpe-
riment station at Storrs, Conn.,, last
year, was 1,15O.000 bacteria apiece.
This represents about the number OF
bacteria that enter the human sys-
tenn when one swallows glass OF
liquid into which some fly has per-
haps fallen to be removed by SLOW
enly waiter without the liquid being
thrown away.

ChurnDlaiN and Hudson.

Two tercentennial celebrations Of
more than passing interest will be
witnessed this year-one OF the dis
covery of Lake Champlain by Sam
uel Champlain. the other of the
Hudson river by Henry Hudson. 1t
is peculiar coincidence that those
two redoubtable and distinguished
explorers, utterly unknown to each
other. were the same summer eX-
ploring in the same region. that once
they were within so miles of each
other and that each independently
reached the conclusion that the river,
now called the Hudson, was not the
northwest passage to China. Both
men made important contributions
to geographical knowledge and by
their achievements greatly promoted
settlement and commerce. OF Cham
plains ancestry, life and character
we have complete knpwledse; of
Hudson We know but little except
Of the four years of his voyages of
discovery Champlain died in office
full of honor. Hudson because of
the mutinty of his crew perished
amidst the ice and storms Of the
bay that bears his name, but men
live in the pages OF history and it is
fitting that their main exploits should
be celebrated this present year.

BLESSING OF FRESH AIR.

mysteriously injurious about might

from the air which We breathe and
which gives us health and strength
in the day time.
We should have far fewer deaths
from consumption, far fewer head
aches, and a great many more peo-
pie with rosy cheeks and untroubled
bodies, il people made it practice
to sleep with their windows open.
If fresh air cost money, we should
have millions of poor people COM
planning that their poverty prevented
them from getting enough fresh air,
whereas, since it cost nothing, they
go to great pains to shut out as
much as possible this great health
making gift of God every night that
comes.
Go out of a close, unventilated
house early in the morning into the
fresh, sweet air out of doors and
note the contrast; can you conceive
how it is possible for people to de-
liberately shut themselves up. one
third of their lives in the bad, un-
wholesome air of the closed room,
when the invigorating atmosphere
of Gods out-of-doors is free to every
living being for the mere asking?
Even in the coolest weather, plen-
ty OF cover in the sleeping-room with
the open windows will make one per-
fectly comfortable, and there are
few things which will do more to
promote health and viSor.
