GOODNESS FOR ITS OWN SAKE
Better Live Up to Duty Than Have
Correct Religious Beliefs, De-
cIares Writer.

1t is not supremely important, how
ever desirable, that any single one of
our beliefs in religion should be cor
rect. not even our belief in God; but
if we try to live up to the rule OF
duty, which is love, we shall be ac-
ceptable to God whether we know any
thing about him or not; and we shall
not be acceptable to him, no matter
how correct our knowledge of him, If
love be wanting.
Theology may be the queen OF sci
ences, but it is all matter of opinion
or belief based on evidence, as to the
value and bearing of which good men
may differ. It is noble study, worth
giving ones best thought to, but the
enforcement upon ones soul of the OBJ
legation of duty until it is natural to
do right and impossible to do wrcng
here is task, here is primacy. {.
Yet, as it appears to me, our pur-
pose and aim should be to love and
cultivate goodness for it's own sake.
because it is good, rather than be-
cause it will secure happiness and
avoid misery in the future life. In the
answer to the first question in the
Assembly's Shorter Catechism, mans
chief end" may be Ito glorify God"
but it is hardly ito enjoy him for
ever" however that may be the result.
To glorify God is very nearly the same
thing as to magnify goodness, for God
is infinite goodness. That is his rul-
ing quality.
To be utterly, totally good, loving,
helpful. self sacrificing, good as the
holy God is good, to do justly, to love
mercy, this is to walk humbly before
God, and this is mans chief end"
and this the promise of the life that
now is and of that to come.-Wllliam
Hayes Ward in the New York Inde-
pendent.

Life of the Sun.

Adopting the well-known hypothesis
of Helmholtz, which attributes the
production of the heat emitted by the
sun to its contraction, an idea can be
formed of the suns duration. If one
gives to the sun a coeflicient Of ex-
pansion intermediate between that of
mercury and that of gas one arrives
at the conclusion that it has taken
100000 to 100000 years for the
sun to contract to it's present radius;
in particular, it would have taken
10,G"2 years to contract from infinity
to radius twice it's present radius.
Finally, the sun will take 20O,00O,OOO
years to contract from its present ra-
dius to half that radius, and even
then its temperature at the surface
will be 5000 Degrees Scientific Amer

The Firlinfoens.

At Brianza, in Lombardy, there
liourishes very curious sort of band,
all the members of which play the
same kind of instrument, known as
the 'fiirlinfoens." This corresponds
to what we know as "panpipes" and
is constructed of reeds fastened side
by side, the bass pipes being often
several feet long, while the others
gradually decrease in size. The fir
linfoens," as the players are called
after their instruments, are as rule
ignorant of music and they learn their
tunes by ear, often from phonograph.
1t is said that the panpipe players ex-

getic blowing and the constant wag.

sic. although conveying to the s.ran-

said to be not unpleasant.

The Heroines Of Novels.

If were his satanic majesty, and a
novelist came to me for judgment, l
should beetle my brows in horrible
manner and quiz him thus:
Did you ever make your heroine
eighteen years old? Did you ever en-
dow a maiden with the repartee of
Pinero, the intuition of Blavatsky, the
carriage Of Garden, the hauteur of
the Medici, the beauty of Aphrodite
and the wisdom of Athene-all at the
age of eighteen years?"
If the novelist answered me Ger
tainly mott" l should say: ITO heaven
with you!" But if he answered; Sure
l did," would blast him where he
stood.

and acute dyspepsia.
Il had been a coffee drinker since
childhood, and did not like to think
that the beverage was doing me all
this harm. But it was, and the time
came when l had to face the fact, and
protect myself. l therefore gave up
coffee abruptly and absolutely, and
adopted Postum for my hot drink at
meals.
Il began to note improvement in
my condition very soon after took

gradually, but surely, and it was
matter of only a few weeks before l
found myself entirely relieved-the
nervousness passed away, my diges-

fully and peacefully.

So together they went sorrowfully

death will occur at once. For those
of us who have endured the sensation
of dropping lively lobster into a
kettle of water and felt like a muir
derer, this method will seem easy.
Lobsters which are full of motion
and heavy are fresh and good. If the
tail of a boiled lobster is lifted and
springs back to it's curled condition
its freshness is assured. If this test
fails, reject the lobster, as it is too
long dead. The coral of lobster is
red, the spawn is green before it is
cooked, when it turns red, as do lob
sters, as they are green before boil
ing.
A broiled lobster is a most delicious
dish and one in which the epicure de-
lights. Kill the lobster as described,
and split down the back with a sharp
knife and mallet, remove the stomach
and intestines; the stomach is directly
under the head, the intestines runs
the length of the tail piece and are
often colorless, so must not be over

shell part over the heat and broil for
half hour or longer. When half

Poison Tablets Guarded.

Various methods designed to pre-
vent the mistaking of bichloride OF
mercury for medicine, or some other
harmless substance, have been pro-
posed with the idea of making it pos

antiseptic without incurring any dan
ger. Two of the latest of these are
extremely simple but evidently effec.
