Q.-Were Adam and Jesus in any

Q.-Were Adam and Jesus in any
sense representatives Of the race?
Answer Adam. as the federal head
of his family, was its representative
in Eden This is demonstrated by the
fast that all Of his posterity are in
VOWED in everything effeetine him;
thus the sentence of death which di.
rectly passed upon Adam effected and
impaired every one OF his offspring
Jesus was not a representative in This
sense; lie WAS made man. a "little
lower than the angels, that He might
BY the grace rf cod, taste death for
every man" 0Hehrews ii, -. He he
comes Adams substitute, his Redeem
er. He pays for Adam the penalty de-
nfinded by divine Justice. He gave
His life "a ransom for all, to be tost
fed in due time 4 Timothy ii, g.
Since Adam was the representative Of
the whole human family, therefore an
of the human race must share with
him in the benefits to accrue through
the redemption provided hy Jesus, his
substitute Thus the death Of Jesus
is made caieaious to an who will nc
cent the benefit thereof by believing
On the Lord Jesus Christ rs we read
As in Adam all die, even so all in

AMERICAN DRY FLY FISHING
The Angler Fishes the Water and Not
the Rise as They Do In
England.

American dry fly fishing may be de
fined briefly as the art Of displaying
to the trout a single artificial fly
floating upon the surface Of the stream
In the exact manner Of the natural
insect.
Upon occasions, somewhat rare In
deed, but nevertheless of sufficient fre-
quency to render the fact noteworthy,
the American dry fly man casts con-
sciously to rising and feeding trout
the invariahIe custom of the English
dry fly "purist."
On the trout streams Of this coun-
try, however, the orthodox manner Of
fishing and floating fly is to fish all the
water as when wet fly casting.
In America, owing to the fact that
the dry fly angler fishes the water
and not the rise. wet and dry fly fish
ing are far more closely related than
Is the case in England, where the or
thodox sportsman stalks the trout,
casting exclusively to rising and
feeding FISH,. Outing.

OF ANIMAL HOSPITALS
More Than 1000 Years Ago Ono Was
Established In India, Says
an Authority.

The New York women who have
opened free animal dispensary in
this city are regarded as pioneers in q
good work. AS matter of fact one
must go to the Orient and look back
more than 1000 years to find the first
animal hospital known.
The famous Buddhist emperor Of In
dia, Asoka, whose long reign from 264
to 227 B. G. abounded in many good
works. was probably the earliest to
establish a hospital for the treatment
Of animals, says Our Dumb Animals.
Asoka was true humanitarian as
well as a most powerful sovereign and
although ruling vast domain be-
came deeply impressed by the horrors
Of warfare.
He gave up his desire for conquest
and the rock inscriptions. which are
stiIl extant, record such benefcent
edicts Of his as the counseIlng of
planting shade trees, the digging Of
wells, sending out Of missionaries, ar-
pointment Of special officers to super
wise charities, the establishing Of hos
pitfalls for human kind and animals.
It is Of interest to know that the
last remaining Of Asoka's hospitals
was devoted to animals. It covered
twenty-five acres and was divided into
proper wards and courts for the ac-
commodation Of the patients. When
an animal was sick or injured its
master had only to bring it to the hos
pital, where it was cared for without
regard to the caste Of its owner, and
where, if necessary, it found an asy-
lum in old age.
