BIBLE BRIGHT PROMISE.

By Cyrus Townsend Brady.
And there shall be no more curse
Rev. % IS.
That Genesis should be related to
Revelations, although sixteen hundred
years Of time, with all their develop
ment and change, separated them, is
a thing at once striking and mex
plicable, except on the hypothesis that
some great power saw to it that
through the pages one increasing pur-
pose ran Nowhere is this relationship
more strongly and strikingly shown
than In the consideration of that with
which the Bible begins and ends.
Genesis. after a poetic and beautiful
description of the creation Of men and
things, begins with the curse that was
laid upon mankind However 1t may
be accounted for. the0iosicaily or phil
osophically, the fact that the world has
been cursed is easily apparent. 1t is
also Indisputed that man in some dim.
dumb, incohate way has always striven
to lift the curse, and it is equally true
that as age has succeeded age some
amelioration of conditions has gone on
very unsatisfactory at first and with
meager results, considering the vast
expenditure Of life and effort. But it
has gone on and it is going on. That
is evolution.
But the gift which actually made it
possible in any practicable way to lift
the curse upon mat is Jesus Christ.

Ignorant Employe Turns on Valve, and
Almost SmotherS Companions
Dash for Exit

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. Is, 1909
Caught in the irebox of boiler, and
with roar of onrushing steam telling
them of the fate that awaited them,
three workmen made Il dash for life at
the Alhambra theater building at >
O'Clock this afternoon, and escaped with
their lives. Two, William Nagel. and
William Latel. were Scalded badly. while
third escaped.
The men were at work in the fire box
OF an idle boiler tearing away the fire
wall to rebuild the boiler An ignorant
workman turned on the steam for the
smoke consumer. This allows a spray
of steam to fill the fire box
Nagel and Latel heard the rush of
steam, and dashed for the front of the
boiler. They found their way blocked
and returned to their work. BY this
time the freboX was filled with steam.
The men crouched in their prison. and
started to crawl TO the rear in hope of
finding an exit. Here they found an
opening and escaped
Latel and Nagel were taken TO the
Majestic building, where they were
treated by q physician. Nagel suffered
burns on the right hand, left arm, and
back. Latel was burned on the left
arm and back. The third man was
burned slightly and did not give his
name. He returned to work, but Latel
and Nagel were unable to do so.

ANNUAL ISSUED EARLY.
Contains Article by the Late
William F. Villas

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 12.-[Special. ]
The Memorial Day Annual has just
been issued by the office of the state
superintendent. The publication is sent
out two months earlier this year because
February y is the Tooth anniversary
of Lincolns birth. Selections suitable
to this occasion have been included in
the volume, which is the largest and
most replete ever issued by the govern
ment. Material IS also included in the
pamphlet for Washington's birthday,

THE country must be saved in times
of peace no less than in times Of war
and heroes Of peace must rally round
the flag, not on the battlefield, but ut
home, in business, at the ballot box, -
says the preface. The celebration Of
Memorial day should in large degree call
to mind the desperate conflicts and the
heroic sacrifices which were necessary in
order that the nation might endure. But
it should also call to mind the great
civic obligation which rests upon the peo-
pie of this country at the present time,
and which will rest upon succeeding gen
erations-the obligation of the unsel6sh
devotions in times of peace to the vel
fare of all the people even at the cost,
if need be, of personal sacrifice. With
this tWO-fOld aim clearly in mind tbp 20
curing celebration of Memorial day, and
the other patriotic holidays, will not
diminish, but will increase in interest

MADISON GETS STATION
U. S. FOREST SERVICE LABORATORY
AT WISCONSIN UNIVERSITY.
Decision of Government VIII Give Bad
ger University Best Forestry
School in Country.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 12.-LSpecial.I
United States Forester Pinchot an
nounced Monday at Washington that
the great central consolidated laboratory
Of the forest service will be located here
on the site to be furnished by the Uni
yersity of Wisconsin. The choice of
Wisconsin for the location of the labora-
tory Is distinct recognition of the uni
yerSlty by the government as Michigan,
Cornell and Purdue universities were
all bidding strongly for the honor.
The regents of the university ut their
last meeting voted an appropriation of
$4,000 for the erection of a suitable
building for laboratory purposes, and
row that the choice has been made the
structure will be rushed TO completion
The United States forest service will
equip the laboratory at cost of S14 1000
and Will furnish the entire corps of in
vestlgators. 1t is estimated that the in
stitution will start with about twenty
i've employees with a salary list of over
$4,000 with the prospect of doubling
IN size and Importance within a short
time.
The Investigations that will be carried
on are not distinctly in line with the
work commonly considered under the
forest service. They will relate rather
TO the uses and utilities of woods and
their by-products and to the study of
soils and fertilizers with reference to
their adaptibility in tree culture. The
laboratories will be open to the students
and the faculty of the university for in
vestigation purposes. Members of the
investigating staff will lecture to the
students which will give the university
the advantage of practically the best
equipped school of forestry in the coun-
try.
The timber and paper industries of the
state will benefit directly as a result of
the decision of the government to es-
tablish the station at the University of
Wisconsin One of the important ex-
periments to be carried on will be the
production of wood pulp from materials
not now used

Short Suggestions.

Buying olive oil by the gallon is one
case of economy.
To cover the pan in which fish is
cooking will make the flesh soft.
A clam shell in the inside Of the
kettle will prevent the formation of
lime.
Large red apples, when served whole
upon the table, are polished with olive
oil.
When grating nutmegs remember
they will CRATE best if started from the
blossom end.
Lemons hardened from long stand
ing may be made disable by covering
a few moments with boiling water.
One Of the newest luncheon cloths is
a white linen with a border Of Byzan-
tine worked in pale blue cotton.
To blanch almonds pour boiling va
ter over the almonds and leave them
till the water is cold, when the skins
will be quite loose.
\ kitchen churn that holds but one
quart is useful for churning sour cream
into butter. It is a good cake mixer
and certainly excellent for beating eggs
for an angel cake.
Tarnished silver is easily cleaned
with powdered whiting mixed to q
paste with ammonia and water. Rub
the paste on with one leather and have
another leather to polish il off again.
When grease is spilled on a kitchen
table or floor, pour cold water on it at
once. The cold will harden the grease
and prevent its soaking into the wood,
so that it can be taken up with a
knife.
Loose knife handles-To fix handles
to blades, i'll the cavity in the handle
two-thirls full Of mixed resin and
brickdust Then heat the shaft Of the
knife and while hot press it into its
place. Hold it till quite firmly set.

LIQUOR FIGHT HOTTER.
Attorney Giddings Turns Down Village
Board for Refusing to Follow
Advice

RACINE, Wis. Ian. 13.-[ Special /
The fight at Union Grove over the re-
voking of a liquor license of f. e.
WEIGH for selling liquor to a minor,
has proved more complicated. A meet
ing of the board was held at that vii
lage last night and it developed that
the members of the board refused to fol
low the advice of their attorney, John
G. Giddings, and summon WEIGH before
the board to show cause why his license
should not be revoked. Mr.. Giddings
withdrew from the case entirely and
Attorney Storms of Racine was substi-
tuted. The board positively refused to
summon the saloon keeper or take any
action and adjourned for two weeks in
order that the mandamus suit COM
menced in the circuit court by Rev. w.
J. Perry might be disposed of. The
residents of the village are divided over
this question and a prolonged litigation
is anticipated.

Hebrews iii 10.
Our unbelief In our future has come

they cannot help it; they do not be-

say that we cannot control our belief
in such things. Of course there are
some things we cannot believe; we can
not believe that a lie is truth when
the evidence of the lie is clear to our
minds; but where the evidence on both
sides is equally clear we can control
our belief. The hold which Christian

that we would be punished or reward
ed accordingly. How different would
be the lives of people to-day if they
really and truly believed God. How
different would be their relation to the
Church, the city and the State if they
really believed. We must return to the
