une-60oo;s Nose.

The coldness of dogs nose is due
to the fact that it must be kept moist
all the time in order to sharpen his
sense Of smell. And, Of course, as. the
moisture is evaporating all the time, it
keeps his nose cold. A dog depends a
great deal on his powers of smell, es-
pecially in the wild state, and it is be-
cause Of his keenness Of scent that he
is valuable to man for hunting pur-
poses. In addition to the olfactory or
smelling nerves inside dogs nostrils
the whole black membrane around the
nose is very sensitive, but this sensi-
hveness can only be retained by mois-
ture. Thus it is that when dogs
nose is dry and warm he is i'll and
needs doctoring.

Arcadian Islands.

The Cross-Keelings are group Of
about twenty small islands 100 miles
southwest of Sumatra They form part
Of the Settlement of Singapore. There
are about 800 inhabitants. These is
lands are looked upon by some travel
ers as kind of modern Arcadia. The
servants there are said to be among
the best behaved in the world, and as
there is no money in the island, Gox, Ill
the transactions are conducted through
the i.cuium of sheepskin notes signed
by the governor, there is not much
temptation for thieves. The climate Is
said to be suitable for those who suf-
fer from lung trouble, though the IS
lands are subject to cyclones.

Poetry and Patriotism.

curiosit;ss OF Smell.

No substance that refuses to dissolve
in water has an odor. 1t is the actual
substance itself, floating in particles
in the air, that appeals to the nose and
not simply a vibration Of the air. as in.
the case Of light and sound. The damp
er thing is the more powerful the.
odor it gives off. A pleasant proof of
the fact can be had by walking in a.
garden after rain or in the evening
when the dew is falling. There is no.
end to the curiosities Of smell. 1t is.
for instance, the vapor of liquid tia
smells and not the liquid in the mass
itself. If eau de cologne be poured in.a
the nostrils the nose refuses to r8os
nize any odor there at all.-London

Rirthplac. Of chimneys.

Chimneys are modern-that is, chin
neys with fireplaces and fues. None
of the Roman ruins shows chimneys
like ours There Is none in the re-
stored buildings in Herculaneum and
Pompeii. Roman architects complain
ed that their decorations were smoked
up. A kitchen in Rome was always
Sooty. Braziers were used in the liv-
ing rooms. The chimney of antiquity
consisted of a hole in the roof. The
wealthy Romans used carefully dried
wood which would burn in the room
without SCOT. The modern chimney was
first used in Europe in the fourteenth
century. The Oldest certain account OF
IL chimney places it in Venice in 1347.

tOrical Christ or the metaphysical
Christ and leave only the ideal and
they have still to recken with a power
of the first magnitude, the Christ of
human experience survives mems
doubts of the Christ of history and
still under the name of Jesus some
thing calls out to our spiritual ca
pacities to awaken. The very name
makes us dissatisfied with evil in spite
of our love for it. 1t shames us out of
pettiness into largeness. Out of sin
into salvation, out of vice into purity.
No man can read the fragmentary
description of Jesus in the New Tes-
lament without feeling laid upon him
AN obligation of suTTendering his lit
tie and ignoble life to Him for a life
that is lived more abUndantly.
When royalty enters the city. the
city puts on it's holiday attire, but the
most momentous day in the history
of any city is the day when Jesus
Christ gives it a special visitation of
His power and presence.
If Christ came to this city, would l
be glad to see Him? Not appear to
be glad, but really be glad to welcome
Him? Whether or not you would be
glad to welcome Him is an invaTiable
index to your character. He is always
where all is well. There is a line Of
scripture which reads as follows:
And when Herod, the king, heard
it, he was troubled"
Men who have been living like
Herod are always trouble when they
hear that Jesus is in the neighbour
hood. Jesus is in the way Of the
Herods. Jesus is in the way of the
adulterer, the thief, the Iibertine and
the OppressOr.
Would the presence of Jesus give
you peace and strength or would it
worry you? If it would worry you,
you may know that you are living in
sin. By this you may know all that

in this tabernacle; if I could an
nOUnCe that George Washington, the
father Of his country was to honor
this city with his presence -excUr-
siOns would run from every section,
and no building has been erected by
the hands Of men that would hold
the crowds.
But I need not argue that the an
nOuncement of the coming Of Jesus
to Chicago would awaken an interest
and send a thrill Of expectancy be-
yOnd that Of any other character of
history.
We instinctively feel the difference
and account for it. This is true be-
cause His name is inseparably assO-
ciated with religion. and after all has
been said, religion is the measure of
concern of men-it's the real base
line of character.
Many types of men challenge our
interest, but it is the apostle of reli-
giOn and the herald of Christianity
that has the SUperlative influence.
For Jesus actually lives the moral
law and serves His generation, for
getting Himself in the immortality
and we turn to Him for spiritual aU-
thority as naturally as a flower turns
toward the sun or a lily lifts its i'm
macUlate lips to be kissed by the sun
shine and the dew.
Beauty may please us, truth may
strengthen US, but goodness com
mands US. A genius charms us, a |
philosopher instTucts US, but a saint !
feeds US.
But the fact that Jesus was a spir- |
itUal genius is not an adequate ex-

coming to this city would arouse.

Ironical people have called atten-
ton 10 the fact that Herbert Spencer
wasn't. But this does not weigh in
the scale against the truth Of his die
tum.
Any system Of education that does
not tend 10 make the child a good
animal is faulty in the extreme.
The world is fast coming TO the be-
lief that the object Of education is to
make the individual acquainted with
this planet upon which he lives, and
which feeds and sustains him, in or
der that he may better adapt himself
to life.
The more accurate knowledge he
has about this world it's history the
men and women who now live and
those who have lived, the better edu-
Gated the individual.

edge in a way that will aid him to

is a success.
He must fit himself into his envi-
ronment in order that he may never
be a menace, a responsibility, or
care to society. Or the other hand,
he must add TO the ~-ealth and happf-

he will himself thrive.

Japan is prepared to postpone many
