THE STORY.

HE WHO would make honorable al II lance with another must first prove his own worth.
 Judas eyes and thoughts were turn ing towards great and mighty Rome
 Not because of weakness and fear of his enemies round about Far from it, for had he not repeatedly won vic tories over those who had risen up against Israel?
 When Mattathias, his father, had died, the leadership of the people had fallen upon him, and a great general and just ruler he had proved himself to be. His first great victory had been over Seron, prince of the army of Syria, who with mighty host had come against him. Then King Anti ochus. on departure on an expedition into Persia, left instructions with Lysias to invade Judea and destroy Judas, And Lysias had chosen Ptolomes and Nicanor and Gorgias, mighty uen the kings friends, who organized powerful expedition, which, o7eu it had come into the country, Judas had defeated and scat tered. Sc it Lad been whe1 Timotheus had como against him with the com. b.nea forces of the Arabians. And again when Nicnanor had come with his mighty army.

SERMONETTE.

The good men do lives after
 them.
 This trite saying is ever true.
 The recorder of the deeds of tho
 Maccabees has this to say of
 the record which Judas, who be-
 came the leader after the death
 of his father, left behind him:
 He gat his people great
 honor, and put on breast-plate
 as a giant, and eirt his warlike
 harness about him, and he made
 battles, protecting the host
 with bis sword.
 "ls ais acts he was like a lion, like a lions whelp, roaring for his prey.
 "For he pursued the wicked, and sought them out, and burnt up those that vexed his people. "Wherefore the wicked shrunk from fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were trou- bIed, because salvation pros pered in his hand.
 He grleved also many kings, and made Jacob glad with his acts, and his memorial is blessed forever.
 Moreover, he went through the cities of Juda, destroying the uneodiy out of them, and turn ing away wrath from Israel. "So that he was renowned unto the utmost part of the earth, and he received unto him such as were ready to perish" We find the faith and strength of character of the man re- veaIed in his words at the mo- ment when his small and ill., equipped army was about to flee before the overwhelming hosts of the enemy. He said: "It is no hard matter for the ? many to be shut up in the hands i, of the few; and with the God of heaven it is all one, to de- liver with great multitude or a small company; for the vic ! tory of battle standeth in the multitude of the host: but strength cometh from Heaven. They come against US in much , pride and iniquity to destroy US, and our wives and our children, ' and 10 spoil us. But we fight ' for our lives and our laws. Wherefore the Lord himself ' will overthrow them before our ' face. And as fer you, be ye not ( afraid of them"

made to provide nourshing food in sufficient
variety to tempt all sorts of healthy appetites.
All the cooking and baking for the navys tars
is done by enlisted men of the service-blue-
jackets who receive somewhat better pay than
most of their fellows because of proficiency in
this work.

skill and experience. Bakers receive s35 and
sl5 per month. At the head of the cookery
department of each ship are chief commits
sary steward and commissary steward who re.
ceive pay of $40 and $50 respectively. AS a
testimonial to the skill of the naval cooks 1t
may be remarked that from this same class
of men are recruited the cooks and stewards

cook the food OF the officers aboard ship. There

to transfer the food from the galley to the ia
bles, and the serving is so systematized that
the most important dishes OF the meal leave
the heaters first. On the average American
battleshp not more than four minutes is re-
uuired to serve the cooked portion of a meal
for more than 700 bluejackets, and on the bat
tleship Missouri, record OF two minutes Tor
serving a meal has been attained over and
over again. To do this. either mess strikers
must serve the tea and coffee at the same time
that the messmen are serving the solid food,
or else the drnkables must be served in ad-
vance, but this latter can readily be done II
necessary for experience has proven that tea
and coffee served at boiling heat Will retain
their heat for some little time.

navy and marine corps is divided into messes

tailed for each mess TO receive the food from
the cooks at the galley, and serve il at the
mess table Tipping is not only unnecessary.
but 1t is forbidden. When men are landed
from warship in large numbers either for
going into camp or for an expedition, com
mssary corps, including cooks, bakers and
messmen is sent with them, to see to 1t that

There is popular misconception regard
ing the manner in which Uncle Sam provides

fortresses. In addition to the pay provided
for enlisted men, the government undertakes
to subsst them. and this is done at whatever
expense may be necessary. The fixed value of
communication for ration is, by law, 30
cents, but the communication of rations is a
privilege, not right and there is error in the
idea lat has become prevalent in some quar-
tiers that each enlisted man is entitled to re-
ceive just 80 cents worth of food each day or
so cents in money.

agreement so that all nations shall display a
uniform marine storm signal. In efectng an
international agreement it is believed that II
will be a great factor in saving life and proper
ty on sea and land and at the same time be
highly important in weather predictions.
These subjects were dealt with by two com
mittees, one on maritime weather signals and
the other on weather marine telegraphy.
The first committee was composed of DR.. w.
~ Shaw director Of the British meteorological
Office Prof. A. Augat. director Of the Central
French meteorological service; Rev. l.. Froc.

of the Deutsche Seewarte at Hamburg, Ger

Meteorological institute; Prof. Willis L. Moore
and X Nakamuray director of the meteorol-
ogical service of Japan. In addition to Messrs.
Augat, Hirz and Moore, the other committee
was composed of Lieut. Gen. Rykatchef, di-
rector of the Central Physical observatory Of
st. Petersburg. Russia.
"One of the principal problems taken up by
the conference" said Prof. Moore, was the
question of international agreement as to the
taking of wireless marine weather reports.
The scheme was 10 obtain the adoption by all
of the leading nations of uniform method OF
taking and transmitting wireless meteorological
observations so that each observation no mat
ter by what nation taken, will be comparable
with the observations taken by any other ma
ton There is now no uniform system of re-
ceiving and transmitting marine wireless
weather reports and exactly the same things
are not observed.
observations received by ship would be
transmitted to other ships. so that by relaying
from one vessel to another observations from
the entire ocean would then within few min
utes reach the land and the central meteorologi-
cal offices in the nited States France Eng
land and Germany and other interested ma
tons would be able to complete these observa-
tons each in its proper geographic position
and thus 10 determine the location OF storms
and forecast their future direction Such fore
casts could be distributed to the vessels in the
same manner in which the observations on
which the forecasts were based were collectad Z"
