It is a recognized truth that an ounce of Christianity is worth pound of law" but it is forgotten the moment anger gets the best of us. If this truth was as fully respected as it should be we should never refer to the Iainions of the law for there wouldn't be any. All that makes law profitable is human weakness. It 5 not so much disrespect for the law but disrepect for one another that makes trouble for men and business for the courts. The court knows two- thirds of the cases on the dockets are spite csses-it would be safe to call them fool cases-for they cost more than they come to and make the clients poor and the lawyers rich. It is surprising church members and also church organizations do not go to their Bibles to find tho way to 8 righteous settlement of troubles but they find 1t easier and more satiafac- tory to employ counsel and light if out than ito testt the Lords way. They lack the faith which would make them whole; and do not seek the truth which would make them free An ounce of Christianity will always prove it's own worth if given but half a chance.

 A friend said to mo once: 'Don't teach the things you den't believe yourself I wasn't conscious I ever had done so, but I couldn't help asking myself if it is safe to teach the things we do believe ourselves. What is be- lief, anyway? We hear a great deal of talk about belief. Belief. Is not knowledge. and yet your belief may be your religion. Perhaps as good a thing as has been said about belief is this:
 What you believe will depend very much upon what you are" Belief lies like step at the door of knowledge at the bar of justice who is asked what they belfeve-the challenge iS What do you Know?" Belief isn't power, but Aaewiedge Is. The church as a. whole believes in Christ, because it knows the preeepts he taught were divine. This Is where kncwiedgn is made the fonndation of belief.

Someone has said 'f folks treated their friends as they treat their stom- achs they would have no friends" This is true, for you know statistics show most folks have dyspepsia because of their gluttony.

There really need not be any ser. want girl problem. When the relation between mistress and servant Is right there is no problem. It is highly tm- portant both should know their place and keep it, that both should knoH their duties and attend to them, and that each should have their hours and seldom be denied their leisure. The mistress should not so act as to im- press the servant she regards her as being no better than a serf, and the servant should shew sufficient respect to her mistress to make her feel that in her eyes she did amount to lit. tie more than the fifth wheel Of 2 coach.

NOW, WHAT IS THE WAY
 TO CARRY A CHICK ENo ?

What is the scientific way of carrying live fowl? asks the New York World. Should 1t be held by the feet while it's head is allowed to swing like pendulum of clock, or should it be gently folded
 to ones bosom somewhat after the classic , fashion in which Leander presses Hero or that Romeo is supposed to have nestled up to Juliet?
 That was the weighty question that | Magistrate Corrigan was called upon to | decide in the Harlem police court when John Jackson a bricklayer, of No. 33G East One Hundred and First street. and
 Tudor Bernstein, & of No. 224 East One Hundred and Third street, were ar | raigned on charge of "cruelty to a l chicken"

Car rying 1t head down made the bird morose
 and unhappy. The magistrate said he did not thing so, and it was agreed that the
 chicken should decide tne matter itself It was held first head down and then
 head up. The chicken registered surprise
 at the sudden reversal, uttered few bars of Wagner. and then assumed an air of stolid indifference that no further amount of gyration could shatter.
 Magistrate Corrigan regarded the fowl closely for a moment and confessed his
 inability to prescribe right or wrong
 mode of carriage. The prisoners were discharged.

 He takes another type of the "gos- sip from "The Book of Job"
 He quotes Satan's way of getting in his work in that immortal allegory;
 Listen; "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves be- fore the Lord and Satan Otherwise the adversary came also among them.
 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan an swered the Lord and said: From going to and from in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
 And the Lord said unto Satan. Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and upright man, one that fear eth God and escheweth evil?
 Then Satan answered the Lord and said Doth Job fear God for naught? |"

The Ancient Incubator

T ioIi tHe NeW 1OrK PreSS.
 The announcement is made by a British scientist that he has discovered how the ancient Egyptians iincubated chickens to the number of f2O 0OO, 900 a year. He has found incubators which he declares were used in Egypt 5000 years ago.
 The secret has been we'll guarded but 1t has been laid bare at last They had no oil or gas or electric heated in- cubators, but they had ovens which worked much better even though they required more constant tending. Each oven was calculated to hold 1000 eggs. the fuel by which it was heated .con- sisted of chopped straw and dung. but for the last 10 days of the matching the energy was supplied altogether by the chickens themselves.
 It is the commonest error of those operating our modern incubators to use to much heat, especially toward the end of the period. and now we may learn from the old Egyptians how not to do things as well as how to do them The use of the straw and other light fuel shows that the Egyptians were most careful to avoid too intense heat at any stage We thought that we were the first to use incubators, but we are 50 centuries behind the times.
