Women need TO remind themselves
that the standards Of conduct are ever
shifting. Babylon and Japan have
strange moral codes written In their
history. New England records show
punishments more brutal than crimes,
and college endowments gained from
the proceeds Of lotteries held with the
approval Of the strictest of Puritan
ministers. Public opinion In regard TO
conduct is so largely made by women
that they ought to be well informed in
the history of ethics. The discussion
Of race-track gambling In New York
doubtless rings strangely on the ears
of spectators at the great English
races. At Ascot, for example, the
course is thronged not only by the
wealth and fashion, but by the stern
virtue of English society. Men and
women bet on the races with perfect
frankness. The bookmakers pass about
among the spectators as freely as II
they were selling programs or photo
graphs, instead of odds" grave, ell
derby lady lays her wager OF a sover-
eign; a young girl takes her mothers
advice about her bet of half crown:
and an exalted parsonage announces
his winnings as he would record his
crop of potatoes. Although Americans
notice the moderation with which this
gambling is conducted. they are never
theless amazed at 1t. American moral
sense does not approve it. This vary
ing standard of morals among good folk
teaches two simple lessons. The first
is that of an inclusive charity to be
practiced by every student of human
history. Saint Paul keenly discerned
that as man thinketh in his heart so
is he. The aphorism must not, how
ever, be enlarged to imply that "as
think so are you" The verdict of rhe
individual conscience is final for its
for no other. Further. In
a Christian civilization, the standards
Of conduct are continually being raised.
Now one Christian nation and now an
other leads the forward movement. The
moral demands of the twentieth century
are far higher than those of earlier
times, and our childrens children are
bound to carry them forward until mil.
ennium's dawn.

Germs Erery,rhere.

At no instant in any mans life, wax
ing Or sleeping, is he free from assaults
by swarming myriads of tiny, but pow
erful, unseen enemies of life-those sol
diers of deaths dark legions, the germs
or microbes of disease. II it were pos
sible to wear spectacles of the magni-
flying power Of high-prieed microscopes.
we might see the very air we breathe
thick with the monstrous shapes of I'M
told billions of bacllli; and that in, or
about, or npon the water we drink,
the food we eat. the hands we shake.
the car straps we hang TO when going
to work, the clothes we wear, the hair
we comb, the lips we kiss, the cats and
dogs we fondle, the books we read
in short, always and everywhere, the
armies of death surround us, and in
cessantly make war upon us. And not
only do they attack us from every pos
sible exterior vantage point, but they
carry by assault the citadel of life
from within the lines of our own de-
fenses. Germs thrive and multiply in
the mouth, in the nose, and especially
in the intestinal organs. Thus it can be
said that not only do we live in the
midst of death, but that death lives in
our midst. The wonder is, not that
we are ever III, but that we are ever

A Text for a sermon.

A member of the faculty of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania has had fire.
1uent occasion to reprove his eight
year-old daughter for playing with
matches.
Recently the youngster in the exer-
else of her favorite diversion succeed
ed in burning her hands.
Immediately she was summoned to
judgment. Clara" said the father,
sternly, 81 should punish you for your
disobed:ence. There is, however, no
need to in this case, for God has al
ready punished you.'
Yes, sir" meekly responded the
child; but, papa, He let me play with
the matches an awfully long time first"

THE REFORMED BRoncHo.
day be Seen Any Day in tho Bride
Paths of Central Park.

Paths of Central Park.
To the general public the word bron.
cho suggests everything wild and vi.
cious in horse flesh. One associates the
usefulness of the broncho almost en-.
tirely with the rugged West That this
why little animal could ever develop
the points of good park horse would
be received with much reservation by
most persons.
Yet some ten years or more OF cross
breeding, says Country Life in America,
has accomplished this somewhat amaz-
Ing result. To-day one can see on the
bride paths of Central Park the we'll
groomed broncho fraternizing as an
equal with the blue grass thoroughbred
and his number is co.-s.antly growing.
To be sure, he is no longer the ham,
merhead with a pronounced eve neck,
almost as devoid of flesh as a skeleton.
He has developed a fine crest in this up
breeding and can show as fine a neck
as any Kentucky-bred horse
His middle piece is no longer distend-
GU hum uucn Gazing OI grass IOOu,
nor is he so loosely Joined to his quar-
tiers as his prototype. Higher living
has rounded him into a strikingly we'll
proportioned saddle horse. In his new
estate he subsists less on the fresh,
Juicy grasses, and the new order grows
quite different animal.
But through all this transforma ton
he still retains the leg characteristics
of his broncho ancestry, perfect in SYM
metry. rather light in muscle and slen-
der In bone, but the muscles of strong
quality and the sinews very firm.
His power of endurance has dimin-
ished somewhat, but even so, he has few
equals and no superiors. His toughness
and grit have changed little in the
s-breeding. and doubtless If turned
out to the freedom of range he would
give as good an account Of himself as
did his ancestors in the early days Of
the West.
