al decline in health.

AS an author, Dr. Black is world ia
nous. One hundred thousand copies
of his books nave been issued. Among
the best known are the following:
| Friendship" Work" Culture and
Restraint" 1.-THE Gift of Influence, -
"Christ's Service of Love-" Listening
| to God" In the lecture, America
Through Scotch Spectacles," DIR. Black
tells kindly but searchingly and truth
fully how a Scotchman regards the
social, political, industrial and relig-
ious life. He is a keen observer of
wha is going on in the country. He
took for the first division of his sub
ject the language or English as it is
spoken here. Second, the politics of
this country and contrasted the po-
litical status with that of Great Brit
ain, showing that while we are more
democratic in social life, Great Britain
is far more democratic in political
matters. His third and last division
was the temperament of the people,
which he designated as nervous, OPP
timistic, idealistic, good humored and
open-minded, and showed the advan-
tages and disadvantages of each char
acteristic. The lecture was greatly
appreciated and enjoyed by the large
audience present. DR.. Black will ever
be remembered as a thinker scholar,
orator and a man who cannot be heard
in a community without influencing
that community to nobler ideals, to bet |
ter work and to higher life. The next
entertainment will be given March II |

Cranky Vessels.

Even the best designers never know how their ships will turn out when completed. They may break all records for speed. or they may be so slow as to be entirely useless-a mere waste of money. Years ago two mud barges were built at San Francisco. exnctly alike. constructed from one design. One of them was quite commonplace. but the other raced every barge in the bay and beat them all. raced every yacht on the Pacific coast and beat them. She was so fast that yachts were built on her lines. but turned out mere barges for sloth. Nobody could see how this craft differed from her crawling sisters or from the yachts. In 1851 the America went to Cowes. England, and raced for a prize cup. She won that trophy, and then an Eng lishman bought her and improved her hull, stiffening 1t with knees through out After that she lost every race.

Carlyle's caustic Tonque.

A delightful Carlyle story is tod in connection with the painting of the portrait of Carlyle by Sir John Mil lais. The portrait was painted in 1877 at the home of Millais. Carlyle and his niece. who accompanied him. were both impressed with the magnifcence of the furnishings and the objects of art with which 1t was filled.
 And does all this-er-come from a paint pot?" queried the niece. The artist replied in the affirmative. Then this characteristic comment came from Carlyle:
 "Ah, we'll, 1t shows what a number of fools there are in the worldr'
 Only three sittings were given, and the picture is classed as unfinished" 1" Maybe that remark is the reason why 1t was never completed.

Lioht and Space,

No astrononer can answer the ques- ton. "Is there any place in space where there is no light?" Astrono- mers, telespectroscopists celestial pho, tographers. cosmic dust and meteor researchers are striving hourly around the world to find whether there is ex- tinction or absorption of light in space.
 It is known that light actually traverses distances of at least one quadrillion miles from remote suns to the earth, from all directions in the sidereal universe. These rays are al- lowed to fall on diffraction gratings for analysis to find if wave lengths are modified during flight hither.
 Science at present is unable to state whether there gre suns five. ten or twenty quadrillion miles away nor. if there are. whether they are able to send light out here to our inhnitesl- mally minute, almost exactly. but not quite. nothing of d world. the earth Edgar" Lucien Larkin in New York American.

Woman and Work.

Women are today what they hnve been throughout the history of the race good wives. good mothers. good puls. good sweetheurts. good sisters. Women in industry are no new thing. Women have been in industry since time be gan. and the women who have gone out to factory. to office. to schoolroonl. to hospital. to clinic, to platform, are but doing. outside the home. what their mothers and grandmothers did inside the home. To take three-quar- ters of woman's vacations outside the home and to leave her with manacled hands inside the home would be to let her beat her life out against the cave wall of prison cell in an idleness that would be madness.

Women and Men.

Woman began at zero and has through ages slowly unfolded and risen. Each age has protested against growth as unsexing woman. Men might spin and churn and knit and sew and cook and rock the crndle for generations and not be women. And woman will not become man by exter. nal occupations.
