GODS CHOSEN ONES.
The Charity That Grows With Giving.


A lady who helps many worthy char
tiles, including the missions, once
when thanked for her generosity, re-
piled, 20 Father, you forget that had
the pleasure of giving" And so might
reply with truth all benefactors of
good works, says writer in the Bos-
ton Pilot. The charitably inclined are
Gods chosen ones; their hearts are
open to every appeal. They give a
dollar today and two tomorrow. The
more they do for Gods poor the more
they want to do, and the more He
permits them to do.
Today friend with large family
(most OF them grown up now and all
doing well) called at the Office. She
helps every needy cause in the
diocese, not by her money, because
she has none, but by her time. She
goes about collecting, selling tickets,
begging from door to door.
Her latest work was to gather funds
for a poor priest who honored us
with a visit several months ago, when
he was in Boston to raise a few dol
lars among his own people. We COM
municated with his Bishop in sending
him money, and learned that he was
in direful need.
This good woman in speaking of
the difficulty of collecting, remarked
that the responsibility of such work
undertaken by the society to which
she belongs usually falls upon the
shoulders of about half dozen mem
bers. She was somewhat comforted
however, when told in Heaven such
jealous persons with the actual
workers in every parish and charit
able association would surely sit
nearer the Lord than would the talk
ers and promisers.
Get in line, dear reader. If you
cannot collect from others, perhaps
you can send a dollar yourself. Il
you are not in a position to give q
donation try to interest few friends
in the good work. Become a Pro
moter Send for Mite Box. Or al
least, pray for the conversion of the
heather, and ask God to give the
grace of perseverance to the mission
aries.

ACLERGYMAN'S STORY
Came Near Losing His Lfe-How He Escaped

We quote from another letter. dated
December 10. 1906: II praise Peruna
to all the sick. The people know
my case, and they praise it also"
In a letter dated November %.
1909, we quote Rev. Roberts: "Pe-
runa gave me back my life ten
years ago. All my acquaintances
know that. I am certainly thankful
to you for your kindness"
In later letter, dated January 13.
1910, he says: II shall ever in the
future, as in the past, be ready to
speak in praise of Peruna to all suf-
ferers. I believe my miraculous cure
has been the means of many others
being cured in this county"
From q letter Of September 5, 1911,
we quote a few words: II am still
among the living. AS to Peruna,
do not feel that have words to ex-
press the faith l have in its merits.
1 feel that Peruna has been the
means, through the kind providence
Of God, of prolonging my life for
more than ten years"
We quote still later letter. October
81, 1912. He says: II took a severe
cold three weeks ago. 1 at once sent
for Peruna. Have been taking 1t two
weeks. 1 am now better. I consider
that Peruna has carried me over q
dozen years of life. I always stand
ready to answer any question In ref
erence to Peruna."
We quote from his last letter, dated
January 2, 1913: Dear Friends:
wish this bright New Years to ex-
press my thanks to you for your
kindness. Trusting that you may
have successful and happy year. and
that your medicine may prove
blessing to many as 1t has to me, I
am yours as ever, @. w. Roberts,
Hartsell. Alabama, r. f. d. 2, Box
81"
1t is not necessary for us to add
any words to this story The elo-
quence and pathos of these letters
are more convincing than arguments
or affidavits. Who can doubt the
clergyman's story? Who can doubt
that Peruna saved his life?

In Some Instances Contact Means
Death to the Germs.
Experiment seems to show that there
are certain metals which are capable
of destroying microbes that come in
contact with them.
The microbes experimental with were
cultivated for the purpose In jelly
spread on plate, and pieces Of metal
were dropped upon the jelly while 1t
was still moist
Any metal that had the property of
arresting the development of the NIL
crobes destroyed them. not only Just
under the place where 1t lay, but for
a narrow space around it. The width
Of this space varied both with the kind
Of metal and the kind Of microbe.
Pure gold, when freshly cleaned and
FURNISHED. had no effect upon the mi
crobes. Pure nickel and platinum and
a few other metals also failed to af-
feet the organisms But cadmium, cop
per. brass. zinc and silver destroyed
them, the first named metal especially
acting quickly and effectively.
1t has been observed that the metals
that affected the microbes were those
that are readily attacked by chemical
reagents, while those that resist such
reagents. Ike gold. had no effect. From
this fact 1t has been concluded that the
action upon the organisms is due to a
solution Of the metals taking place in

WHY A BASEBALL CURVES.
For the Same Reason That an Open
Door slams In a Draft.

For the Same Reason That an Open
Door Slams In Draft.
All have wondered at some time or
other why door opened nearly to the
limit will close when there is draft
or wind going through the opening.
Certainly the wind does not get In be-
hind the door and shove It, for the
draft is through the opening.
The explanation Of this fact lies In q
fundamental principle Of moving fluids
and is the same principle that makes a
baseball curve. Whenever there is a
current In the air sidewise pressure Is
least In that current, so when the
draft blows through the opening to the
door the pressure on that side of the
door is decreased, and consequently
the pressure on the other side VIII
start slowly to move the door, making
1t go faster and faster till the door
swings into the draft itself. apd starts
going in the direction of the draft.
When it does SO go In this direction
Of course the draft helps it along. be-
cause it is now not the sidewise mo-

When a ball is rotated in the air ii

is the same thing as saying that cur
rent of air is flowing round the rotat-
ing ball In the direction of rotation.
Now, If wind blows against that ball
it Is easy to see that the little rotating
current will be with the wind on one
side and against 1t on the other, SO
that on one side the velocity of the air
will be increased and on the other d.
minished So the greater pressure on
the slow side will shove the bail
against the low pressure on the fast
side. Now, throwing ball in the air
is the same as making a wind blow
against it, so If ball be thrown aud
rotated at the same time it will neces-
sarily curye.-ChicagO Record Herald.

ARMY POST FIRES.
Why They Are Infrequent and the Way
They Are Handled.

Why They Are Infrequent and the Way
They Are Handled.
Perhaps the low percentage of fires
In the army is directly due to the fact
that guard duty is never suspended.
In daylight and dark, during peace
or in time Of war, armed sentries
walk their posts, scattered everywhere
over the garrisons Falling asleep
while on guard Is serious offense.
Therefore the guards are always alert.
Never Is sentry mounted on a post
without caution to look out for fires.
One Of the first charges In a guard
general orders is one In which he is
fire. His first duty In case building
is occupied by humanity is to warn
the occupants. Next he turns in a gen.
eral alarm. And when the fire call Is
blown by the trumpeter at the main
guardhouse every male member Of the
garrison, except the guard, is COM
PEELED to hurry to the scene Of the
fire, no matter where he is and no
matter how he is dressed
1t is not necessary that a man
should be In regulation uniform to re-
spond to a fire call. Military fires do
not wait for antagonists in full dress
parade costume any more than city
fires procrastinate while the members
of the department make careful toilets.
Once a week. sometimes oftener, in
every military garrison, large or small,
throughout the couEtry-and there are
several hundred at home and in our
possessions-a fire drill is held. Not
a soul save the commanding officer is
advised of what hour of the day or
night or on what day of the week a
fire call will be blown. AS fires do not
give warning of their coming. it is OBJ
viously advantageous that fire drill
should be as uncertain.
When the fire call goes, either for
drill or for ight for life and proper
ty. the soldiers rush out of their quar-
ters, leave their posts In the company
kitchens and on the drill grounds,
picking up fire buckets and fire axes
