LARGE ATTENDANCE AT
 Y. M. c. A. BIBLE CLASS.
Activity a Characteristic of christien
 Life Was Topic of the Evening.

There was large attendance at the meeting of the Y M. c. A. Bible class held Monday evening. The topic of the evening was Activity. a Characteristic of Christian Life. The text was taken from I Mark. Several points were em- phasized. Jesus confined his activi- ties to a comparatively small area and yet did a mighty work. Therefore a Christian man can do splendid ser- vice in a small place. The thing that made Jesus the power that he was is found in the fact that he practiced what he preached. The dominating passion of Jesus was to lead men to become the best that was in them. He never sought easy tasks but was con stantly up against hard propositions. One great victory was when he was tempted by Satan. The point was made that the big victory of the sol dier is not in shooting the enemy in battle but by overcoming himself. Jesus set the example in giving our first attention to the individual rather than to the crowd. No man was the same kind of a man after having come in contact with Jesus that he was before. If a man Is what he ought to be the men with whom he comes in contact will be changed
 The points of the lesson were freely discussed and many helpful points were brought out.

Safety First For Investors.

A conservative policy would prompt
all buyers of securities TO invest at
least a PARTON of their capital in souno
bonds. Many investors have a prefer.
ence exclusively for stocks because til"
latter may render a higher yield or
may f1uctuate more widely, thus offer
ing larger chances for speculative
profit. Dividend paying shares of the
seasoned sort are not to De belittled,
and they will perhaps always form the
major portion of the average inves-
tors purchases. There is reasonable
safety in them. But firmer corner
stones Of fortune" are found in tho
better class bonds. These are not neces
sarily gilt edged, but they are well Sc
cured. In times of prosperity the issu-
ing corporations have no difficulty in
meeting interest charges. In times of
depression dividends on stocks may be
suspended. but the enterprise must
pay interest on its bonds or submit to
foreclosure. And in such event the
bondholder rarely suffers loss. Their
high degree of stability and safety
commends good bonds as an indispen-
sable part of any well established es-
ate.-Leslie's Weekly.

lunus of the Whale.

Concerning the breathing apparatus
of the whale an eminent naturalist
says: The windpipe does not com
municate with the mouth. A hole Is.
as it were, bored right through the
back of the head. Engineers would
do well to copy the action of the valve
of the whales blow hole. A more per
feet piece of structure it is impossible
to imagine. Day and night, asleep OF
awake, the whale works his breathing
apparatus in such a manner that not
"A drop of water ever gets down into
the lungs. Again, the whale must OF
necessity stay ii much longer period
under water than seals. This alone
might possibly drown him. inasmuch
as the lungs ann have access to
fresh air. We find that this difficulty
has been anticipated and obviated by
"a peculiar reservoir in the venOus sys-
tenn. which reservoir is situated at thu
back Of the lungs"
