 The inventor of gas lighting was MurdocIx, of Soho, Handswor-th, Blr- mingham. In 1792 he installed gas lighting in his house, but it was not till 1903 that part of the Soho works was lighted by gas. During the past half century the development has been very remarkable, and today the pro- portions of the industry has attained huge dimensions.
 In order to encourage navigation on Lake Victoria, the German government and has also agreed not to charge any thing on timber used as fuel aboard steamers and launches on the lake. Several piers have been constructed and a river emptying into the lake has been dredged to permit the entry of vessels.
 If what the engineers and prospect ors claim is true, the port of Antwerp may become, before another 25 years a vast shipping, industrial and mining center. It is doubtless with the coal ment adopted in 1905 that vast plan of port extension, which will make the dock system and the port of Antwerp the largest in the world.
 A weekly steamship service between the Piraeus, Greece. Boston and Bue- nos Ayres, by way of Alexandria Egypt, was inaugurated on October 1e. 1909, by the sailing on that day of the first vessel from the Piareus.

an active part in the movement 10 have
the day observed as a national holiday.
The Federation claims that Mothers Day
affords opportunity for US as a nation TO
pay tribute TO our countrywomen, who as
pioneers, colonists and as "bcst citizens
in war and peace, rendered TO their coun-
try noble and valiant service through their
sufferings. privatons and herolsm.
After all, the credit for starting this
movement must be given TO woman The
idea Of Mothers Day was first conceived
by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, a
young girl. who was desirous of COM
memorating her mothers death. 1t was
not only the thought Of laying some fow-
ers on her mothers grave, but it occurred
to her that it would be a beautiful tribute
to all mothers-the living as well as tho
dead-if their children on set day would
unite in the simple wearing Of a white
flower. and thus make Mothers Day uni
versal This was but a few years ago.
The newspapers caught up the idea, and
in two years it swept over not only all Of
North America. but was welcomed in
other lands. The purpose Of Mothers Day,
as conceived by Miss Jarvis, is a day in
which all lands as one nation may unite
in honor Of mother. It is the plan of those
interested in the movement to make this
years celebration of Mothers Day. not
only sentimental observance, but, as far
as possible, to clothe it with the sanctity
and dynamic power that comes from con-
certed action.

While il cannot be said that the Bible
commands total abstinence from in in
toXicating liquors, II can be said that
everywhere from Genesis to ReVela-
ton it reprobates drunkenness and
points us to its debauching effects as
Injurious both physically and spiritual
". We think probably that the climatic
conditions of the centers of civiliza-
tion and the nerve tension of our day
make the evils of intemperance speci-
ally gricvous at this time. These facts
would fully Justify us as followers of
Jesus and the Apostles should we go
beyond them in urging absolute total
abstinence as respects all alcoholic
liquors. Special emergencies and con-
ditions require to be specially met
AS, for instanc, while Adams children
being nearly perfect could and did in
termarry. nothing Of the kind would
be wise or in any sense justifiable now
because the great depravity Of our race
through heredity has so prefaced our
natures along certain lines Of our weak
nesses that even for two cousins to
marry is dangerous as respects the
sanity of their posterity. In other
words, circumstances alter cases. In
the interim of nearly nineteen centuries
undoubtedly great changes have taken
place along certain lines and the wisest
and noblest of humanity are practically
agreed that In our day, at least, alco-
holic beverages are extremely unwise,
extremely injurious. They are danger
ous for the strong character, and awful
lrrestihle temptations TO the weak who
should have the encouragement of the
strong in the bearing Of their burdens
IF hereditary weakness The amount Of
crime and sin which directly and in
directly are traceable TO the influence
Of alcohol should make all good people
stand in awe of it and use their in

We are not condemning all those who
more or less participate in the stream
Of crime and sin produced by alcohol.
Doubtless amongst those who manu-
facture and dispense these beverages
there are, as well as amongst those
who own stock in distilleries and brew
cries. persons Of noble minds. who
would rather do good than evil. BY
some process of reasoning which we do
not fully comprehend they throw the
responsibility off their own shoulders
upon the shoulders of their weaker
brethren and sisters OF the human

department store in New York pur-
chased a $500 wedding veil for her
daughter. which was charged 10 her

ding was a lnrge one and celebrated at
high noon in one of the downtown
churches.
1t happened that one Of the girls
from a department store went out for

think about it.
The next morning, however. when
she read an account of the "magnifi-
cent wedding IN - church and de-
veil worn by the bride, valued at
$780," she laughingly told her numer-
GUS friends in that department that
she had been one of the honored
guests and had seen that $500 veil

AS she entered the Office. to her per-
feet amazement. she beheld the identi-
cal bridal veil just under discussion.
'Aliss B.. can you tell me If you ever
saw this veil beforeT asked the man
ager.
''Yes, sir; 1 saw it yesterday"
'Where did you see ity'
She took from her pocket the clip
ping from the morning newspaper
with the account Of the great we'd
ding, the costly veil and a picture Of
the bride. Laying it upon the desk.
she said:
This is a picture OF the veil'
How did you happen to be at this
wedding instead of in your place here
in the storeT'
at was my luncheon hour, and I
went to the wedding instead Of to
lunch"
The manager smiled.
"Can you positively identify this veil
as the one you saw yesterdays"
Miss B. took it up in her hands and.
unfolding it, ran her fingers through
the mesh and into the tiny folds where
the orange blossoms were caught, then
with some difficulty picked out three
little pieces OF rice and handed them
to the manager.
She went back to her counter, and
the charge customer" whose ac-
counts ranged in the thousands each
year. was rendered a bill for $500
for the use of a bridal veil worn by
her daughter"
A check for the $500 was immediate

In his proclamation Governor Pennewill
says:

that the day be observed throughout the
