 In the first place, I note that the historic teachings of the Bible can be made most attractive to an intelligent boy or girl. The Bible, in fact, con tains our oldest authentic historic rec ords. In it we see the beginnings of the human family! In it we see the as the family widens into a tribe and the tribes into nations; as the patli- arch merges into judge and the judge into king. No student of political in- stitutions can ignore its records. And what sweet and simple pictures of idyllic peace of those long and quiet days when the pastoral lord drove his flocks along the sunny slopes of the Judean hills, and, as king and high priest, gathered his family and slaves around the altar, erected to Jehovah, the one true God! How affecting the incidents of those stries! The youngest is delighted with its simple charm.
 Then, too, an accurate study of the historical side of the Bible protects from many errors of interpretation misconception of language and thought that in process of time have radically changed in significance.
 As in secular, so in Biblical litera- ture, great interest may attach to the study of biography. Here religion Is

 READING THE BIBLE
 Closely connected with the historical view of Bible study, Is the practic< of reading the Bible or any of its books as a whole Great profit and interest are derived. I think, by swiftly read ing at one lesson an entire book. As a. traveller in a richly wooded country ascends the crest of a hill to catch the sweep of the landscape before he enters upon a minute exploration of the details of its more intricate beau- ties, so one in reading should learn to ascend, to generalize, to get birds eye view of the whole treaties, com- prehensive glance of 1t as an entirety. in all it's sweeping movement. There Is a danger in all study of ones de- veloping a near-sighted habit or thought, microscopic way of unduly magnifying trifles close at view, while Ignoring the mighty masses of truth that swell away in majestic outline in the azure distance No book has suf- fered so much from peeping and bot anizing as the Bible. Rivers of blood have flowed upon the splitting of theo- logical hair betwixt west and south- west end, though the hair. after all, was only an imaginary one. In the interest of honesty, the Bible should

seen in the concrete rather than in tte abstract; in action rather than in dog ma. Real living men of flesh and blood are vivid, solid, tangible and always awaken in the young a much livelier interest than do metaphysical refine ments. To my mind there Is no more this of the various characters therein portrayed. To my mind, indeed, there is no more effective mode of preach ing than a clear and precise setting forth of the practical influences that gave direction to the life and conduct of these great characters: Abraham Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, David. Paul, Peter.
 Here one sees the bodying forth, un- der storm and stress, of the great principles of our common religion Here are examples to comfort us, ex- amples to warn us.
 And never was record more sternly truthful than these delinea- tions. Nothing extenuated nor aught set down in malice. The pitiless record of the bad as well as the good quali- ties exemplified in the long line of Biblical characters, carries profound conviction of its absolute truthfulness mind of discriminating reader. Here, if ever there is truthful recital of the struggle of souls, and oneAs con- duct must be profoundly affected by an honest contemplation of such rec ords.

 Place of the Bible in

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL

But the particular agency that we in recent years have fashioned for the teaching of the Bible, of course in the great organization, the Sunday school, or the school held on Sunday for the teaching of the Bible. To my mind, it is the most significant educational move ment since the days of the Renaissance in Italy and the Reformation in Germany and England. Just little over cen tury age, we know that Robert Raikes

tion of the subject, have committed my self to a categorical indorsement of the Bible as a teaching subject for the proper education of a man.
 And truly, as I see it, this literature of the Hebrews fills a fundamental want in mans nature. It is mighty clarifier of the muddy waters of life; a lamp, the light of the world; a great sheet anchor for our frail human nature; the impreg- nable Rock of Ages. Without it's pre- cepts and principles, popular education might mean merely the development of a nation of rascals, menace rather than a benefit to mankind without it, cul- ture may mean merely the superficial veneer for insincerity and vice; without it, civilization, however beautiful and at- tractive may be but house of cards, rope of sand-Greece, Rome, Italy-col- lapsing as it has today in Europe, in a cosmic catastrophe worldwide trag- edV. a RelShaZZar ban0uet of blood

NEED FOR KNOWLEDGE

That there is an imperative need for a wider and more precise knowledge of the Bible who will deny? Considering the supreme importance of the tissues dis cussed in this book, the prevailing ignor- ance concerning it is downright appall- ing. I ask, is not an accurate Bible scholar a rarity? We hear many arguing on both sides of the matter of inspiration and of religion who have not looked into the Bible for six months, and, as usual, the greater the ignorance, the more loud- mouthed and dogmatic the discussion?

Curious Indian Game Traps.

The discovery of the manner in
which the prehistoric Indians of the
southwest obtained their meat supply
was made recently by Washington
scientists during an investigation
around the plateau of the Pajarika
park, near Santa Fe, where a number
of game traps were found.
1t is believed that the discovery Of
these traps indicates that the south
western Indian of prehistoric times
was far more intelligent than his
brother of the North.
The traps are holes cut in lava rock
at places where the poisonous gases
make their way through to the sur
face. They are ingeniously arranged
to suggest a cavern in which an, ami
NAL may hide.
Animals running from their foes see
one of these traps and dive into it.
Almost instantly they are suffocated
by the gas. This manner of death
does not destroy their value as food.

At the beginning of the world war
Brody was a thriving commercial CEN
ter with a population approaching 20,-
600, more than two-thirds of whom
were Jews. Its prosperity was checked
to some extent about 40 years ago,
when, after having enjoyed the privi-
leges of a free commercial city for
exactly 100 years, its charter was with
drawn.
Less than half a century before
Brody was created a town in the sew
enteenth century it was the scene of
an important battle in which the Poles,
commanded by their famous grand
hetman, Stanislaus Ponieckpolski, de-
feated Tartar army. This was the
last battle of Ponieckpolski's dis
tinguished career. For a quarter of a
century he was at war with Turks and
Swedes, his initiation in military
science being somewhat disastrous, for
he was captured by the Turks in his
first important engagement and was
held in close confinement for three
years at Constantinople. Upon his re-
lease in 1862 he was placed in COM
mand of the Polish republics forces
and with force of $4,000 defeated co.
600 Tartars at Martynow. His achieve
ments against the army of Gustayus
Adolphus were no less noteworthy than
his long series of victories whereby he
succeeded in keeping the Ukraine I'M
der Polish rule. g..
Brody twice suffered from disas-
trous CONGREGATIONS during the nine
teenth century. The first, occurring
in 1901, destroyed 1900 houses, while
the fire of 1859 reduced 1000 homes
and business establishments to ashes.
The upper waters of the Styr river
form an irregular arc extending from
the southwest to the north of Brody,
being ten miles distant at its nearest
point, toward the northwest. Five
miles from the city, just beyond the
border on the Dubno-Lemberg railway,
is the Russian town of Radziwilow,
with population of about 5000,

PeeIInq Onions for LIVING.

The profession of onion peeling is
not one that obtains much notice, yet
there are at least five hundred wom-
en- in the East end of London earn
ing their living by removing the skins
of onions. With practice, they can
make eighty cents to a dollar a day.
Very often they have been peeling
since childhood, daughters succeeding
mothers. It is not profession you
can learn in one lesson, for the skin
must be removed by hand, or the

ling. The onions are always peeled
in water. This is not done to save
the eyes of the peeler, but is done to
keep the onion white.

Do YOU HAVE HAY FEVER?
Then Doubtless You Suffer Also From
the Solicitous Friend-cures
by Hearsay.

l affect hay fever on the eighteenth
day of every August, beginning at a
quarter past three in the afternoon,
Robert G. Benchley writes in Vanity
Fair. From then until September 90,
along about ten o'clock at night, my
friends are never at a loss for mer-
ry laugh or a jocund remark about
my appearance. | am not a proud
man, but | have sensibilities. | there
fore have a personal interest in all
alleged hay fever reliefs.
But hay fever cures always come
secondhand - by hearsay. Someone
snuggles up to you and says: "Oh, do
you have hay fever?" Ito which the
Goldbergian answer would be, mo, /
paint my nose and eyes red every day
to brighten the gypsy moths away")
and then, with an air of puryeying
diplomatic secrets they confide that
they have "a friend who used to have
hay fever, oh, terribly; couldn't
breathe, and all that sort of thing,
you know; and someone told him of
this kind of powder arrangement
which you SNUFF up your nose and then
hold your head under water for
minute or two, and, do you know, he's
never had touch of hay fever since
he tried it." And If you'd like, they'll
ask their friend where to send for it,
and they take your telephone number
SO that they can let you know all
about it. Only If you are hardened to
the type, you give them the number
of the zoo, or the aquarium, or some
thing impersonal like that, for the
chances are that when they do call
you up it will be to suggest an addi
tion to your life insurance policy.
It's mighty funny that you never
run across the original friend in the
first place. No one ever steps right
up to you like man says in so many
words, This has cured me of hay
fever" pointing the while at clearly
labeled bottle.

USE ARABS TO FIGHT L0cUSTS
Soldiers Dig Trenches Into Which
Matching Pests Were Driven
and Destroyed.

Djemal Pasha put some thousands
of Arab soldiers at my brothers dis
position, and these were set to work
digging trenches into which the hatch
ing locusts were driven and destroyed.
This is the only means of coping with
the situation; once the locusts get
their wings, nothing can be done with
them. 1t was hopeless fight. Nothing
short of the cooperation of every
farmer in the country could have won
the day; and while the people of the
progressive Jewish villages struggled
on to the end-men, women and chill
dren working in the fields until they
by with folded hands. The threats of
the military authorities only stirred
them to half-hearted efforts. Finally,
after two months of toll, the campaign
was given up and the locusts broke in
waves over the countryside, destroying
everything. AS the Prophet Joel said:
"The land is as the Garden of Eden
before them, and behind them IA desc
late wilderness. The field is wasted (;
the land mourneth, for the corn is
wasted; the new wine is dried up, the
Oil languisheth."
Not only was every green leaf de-
voured, but the very bark was peeled
from the trees, which stood out white
and lifeless, like skeletons. The fields
were striped to the ground, and the
old men of our villages, who had given
their lives to cultivating these gardens
and vineyards, came out of the syna-
gogues where they had been praying
and wailing and looked on the ruin
with dimmed eyes. Nothing was
spared. The insects, in their fierce
hunger, tried to engulf everything in
their way.-Alexander Aaronsohn, IN

MUNITION TOWN OF FRANCE
lie Creusot and the Immense Ordnance
Factories Started There by
the Schneiders.

LIE Creusot is the center of Frances
war munition works. Like the famous
Krupp works of Germany, LIE Creusot's
vast ordnance factories owe their
origin to the organizing and inventive
genius of one family-the Schneiders.
At the outbreak of the war the
Schneider Iron works employed more
than $4,000 workmen and their great
shops, covering hundreds of acres of
ground, were connected by network
Of nearly 40 miles of railroad tracks.
Since the war this plant has been
enormously increased, says National
Geographic society bulletin.
LIE Creusot owes its Importance in
the manufacturing and foundry indus
try to the fact that it is in the center
of one Of the richest coal and iron min
ing districts of France. The coal beds
of this region were discovered in the
thirteenth century, but it was not I'M
til 800 years later, in 1874, that the
first iron works were established. Sixty
years later the Schneiders Adolphe
workshops here, and the little hamlet,
formerly known as Charbonniere, be-
gar to grow. In 1871 it was a town of
4,0c0 people; just before the war there
We're $4,000 inhabitants, nearly half of
whom were employed in the arlnor-
plate factories, the gun shops, the To-
connective works and the ordnance
plants. 1t was one of the Schneiders,
incidentally, who revolutionized war
ship armament in 1876. Up to that time
the most progressive nations used
wrought iron for protective armor on
their ships. Schneider proved the
superiority of steel in resisting the
penetrating power of projectiles.
LIE Creusot is admirably situated
with respect to the French frontier,
for while it is not so far from the fir
ing line as to occasion undue delay in
the transportation of munitions, it is
sufficiently removed to be well beyond
the danger zone. 1t Is 1876 miles, In
an airline, southwest of Belfort, a
fortress of the first class on the Alsace
front, and is 175 miles south of Yer.
dun.
Supplementing its railway connec-
lions, lie Creusot enjoys the transpor.
tation facilities of the Canal du Centre
five miles to the east. This waterway
joins the Saone and the Loire. The
former, rising to the north in the
Faucilles mountains few miles below
Epinal, flows south and mingles Its
waters with the Rkone at Lyon. The
Loire, the longest river in France, rises
to the south ard flows northwest into
the Atlantic.
While lie Creusot has practically nc
historical associations of its own, il
is only few miles southeast of Autun
the famous Augustodunum of the Ro
mans, celebrated for its ancient
schools. The 81 towers and most OF
the old walls have disappeared, anC
the town now occupies only about hall
the area of its most prosperous days

The Best Passage.

A somewhat conceited clergyman,
who was more celebrated for the
length of his sermons than for their
eloquence, once asked the late Father
Healy, the famous Irish wit, what he
thought of the one just preached.
"Well, SIR" replied the humorist, u
like one passage exceedingly we'll"
Indeed, Father Healy, and pardon
me for asking which passage you refer
to-"
"Well, my dear sir" replied the wit,
"the passage l refer to was from the

Mound comparisons.

In the South African war wounds
were not so severe and there was
less smashing than in the recent cam
paign. These bullets had frequently
Travelled for more than half mile and
lost much of their velocity, whereas in
the present war the bullet travels
only few yards.
The ordinary bullet wound of the
South African war was quite small, as
though it had been made with a
bra6awl. In the present war there il
much more tearing of the tissues.
