shnlaIah SUI, Useful.

The shillalah, which showed at
Louth that 1t has not entirely lost its
old importance as a factor in deciding
elections, is no raw limb of a tree.
1t is almost as much a work of art as
a well balanced cricket bat. The old
shillalahs were as carefully looked
after by their loving owners as is a
rife in the wilds. Cut from the stur-
diest of young blackthorns, and show
ing as little taper ID an ebony ruler,
it was weighted with lead or iron at
the end nearest the grip, SO that its
center Of gravity was about four
fifths of the way from the hitting end.
When properly seasoned by being
kept in the nefghborhood Of the farm
oven for a few months, it became a
thing Of supple steel. And the proper
pronunciation Of the name of this
fearsome weapon is the melodious one
of "shill-ally," with the accent on the
"all."-London Chronicle.

Christ Lifted up.

When Jesus vas born In Bethlehem
of Judea, the wise men came from
afar, saying: I'VE have seen his star
in the east and have come to wor-
ship him." From the ends of the
earth men are still coming to "wor-
ship him" There is only one Christ
worth of worship, there is only one
Redeemer drawing all men unto him
self. The magnetism of the Christ
and the cross has not ceased. But
it Is more than a magnetism-it is a
spiritual dominance, a moral mastery
which the Christ exercises. His
cross controls history, not that every
one is living in sight of it or in the
love of it, but that it is with refer
ence to the work and the worship of
Christ that God will eventually Judge
the world and is judging 1t in a sense
now, men being either justified or con-
demned according to their attitude to
that of Christ on Calvary.

Keep Watch on tho tuberculosis.

Keep Watch. on the tuberculosis.
The Italian government, on account
of the number of tuberculosis cases
among the Italian emigrants sent back
from America, has appointed boards OF
examiners in the seaports, whose duty
1t is to report the arrival of tubercu-
lous persons. These are then kept un-
der observation in those places where
they settle, to prevent further spread
of the disease. The erection Of new
~sanitoria' and other tuberculosis insti-
buttons is being urged in Italy, and
the number of beds for consumptives
has been considerably increased In diff
ferent places.

Foolish Fear of the Future.

The ghost of tomorrow haunts many
persons. They fear the future. They
worry about what the days may bring
forth. And by this worrying and
fretting care they i~ncapacitate them
selves for bravely meeting tomorrow
when it does come. The Master wants
us to trust him for the tomorrows.
They are his, stored up by his hand,
and therefore laden with nothing but
good for his disciples. So let trust
take the place of trembling and faith
the place of fear.

Christian Work in cities Needed.

In the extraordinary waking up Of
religious forces which is now being
witnessed throughout the world, the
attention that is being paid to the
cities is of first Importance. The
churches appear to realize that they
have only been playing at the city
problem. In its bigness and far reach
ing consequences they are only now
beginning to grasp 1t. There is no
graver question confronting twentieth
century Christianity than this one of
how to effect the rescue of the city
from the forces of evil which have
their strongholds therein.

Of tho Race.

According to a statement before a
meeting Of the Women's Foreign Mis-
sionary society of the Presbytery Of
Washington ar interesting statement
regarding the money spent for chew
ing gum and that given to charity was
made. The speaker was Miss Mary
W. Kerr Of Harrisburg, Pa, in connec-
ton with the topic of "Frenzied FL
nance in Missions" In urging the 80
ciety to be more liberal in its contri-
buttons to charitable work, she said:
For every $4,000 contributed to
charity, $4,000 is spent for chewing
gum"
The statement passed almost un-
noticed except by a few, who saw the
pertinence and logic of the remark.

Perhaps Not.

An instructor in a church school
where much attention was paid to

the phrase "And Enoch was not, for

this repeated in connection with the

the dullest pupil would answer cor
rectly when asked in EXAMINATION:

ANNEXATION

All that could be gained by the
annexation of Canada to the
United States would be free trade,
the same as now exists between
the states.
Canada seems to have better
laws than the United States. For
instance she has no written consti-
tuition and no supreme courts that
can nullify the laws enacted by
her legislatures. She does not ex-
pend 70 per cent of her revenues
on battle ships and navy to keep
the "bogie-man" away. Canada
has representative ministry, and
not star chamber cabinet. She
has a better system of taxation.
She taxes unimproved land at
eight times the rate on improved
lands.
1t is no wonder that Canada il
frightened by the talk of annexa-
ton to the United States.
The Denver News we'll says:
THE talk about the annexation
of Canada is nonsense; and is in
tended to be vicious nonsense.
Its deliberate purpose is to create
suspicion and jealousy between
two great nations, for the preser-
walton of series of private gratis.
1t is failing of its purpose, only
because the Canadian people, the
weaker party in point of numbers,
have too much good sense to i'm
agine that the spokesman of the
Interests" represent the senti-
ments of the United States. But
out of this nonsensical talk may
be dug a new argument for the
