Reverence for Life.

Only place all life before the child
as within the realm of humanity, and
thus the greater reveals to him the
less. Put life and soul into every
thing; describe TO him even the lily,
which he would pull up ms an morgan
lied thing, as the daughter ot slcn-
der mother, standing in her garden
bed. from whom her little white or
spring derives nutrimcnt and moisture.
And let not this he done 10 excite an
empty enervated habit OF pity, sort ot

but from the religious cultivation "
reverence for life, the God all-moving
in the tree top and the human brain.
The love of animals Ike material af-
fectiOns, has this advantage. that il is
disintercsted and claims no return, and
can also at every moment find an OBJ

cise.-Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Old Mexican God Unearthed.

A statue OF "Nochipilli," Aztec god
Of flowers, has been discovered by VIII

who has been in Mexico recently. The
statue, the representation of the god
known TO have been discovered in

the conquest, was the great slave mart
OF the inhabitants of Tenoxtitlan, home

for Its expert jewellers and wonderfully

Fascination of q Helmet.

The Hun helmet possesses strong
fascination for the American soldier.
Apparently he is not able to resist the
temptation to capture one whenever
or wherever he sees II. A news story
from the Rhine country tells us that
German policemen OF the towns oc-
cupied by the American troops have
given up wearing helmets. Many Of
the policemen gave them up because
they had none to wear. Others dis
continued their use because the Amer
lean officers made the discontinuance
a request. The American soldiers, II
Is explained, couldn't resist the i'm
pulse to capture them. The German
policemen were rushed all along the
Rhine and deftly unbonneted. 1t all
shows that the primitive instinct that
urges n victor TO take from the con-
quered some symbol of his submission
continues strong i'm the warrior breast.

BruQes Of Today.

Mrs. Il. q. Tufnell, writing in ref
ercnce To Bruges, says: II think II
may be OF interest to you To know that
Bruges is extraordinarily little chang
ed since the war. We were most agree
ably surprised to find our things left
behind intact and only one case had
been opened. The hotel was still well
run and comfortable, and the food was
good only the pre-war prices had
changed for the worse, The beautiful
old city looked much the same ns be-
fore. The carlton Is still penling in
the belfry, and few of the public build
ings have suffered. The port has been
greatly altered, and there the signs Of
war are very evident, not only In the
huge works started by the enemy. but
In the effectual destruction OF them by
our airmen. The shops are open, and
the life Of Bruges goes on as 1t did.
Only the welcome appearance OF khaki
clad men or businesslike w. A. A. C.'s
strikes strange note in the cobbled
spaces of the Grande Place"

Suspense Worse Than Attack.

There are sailors who viii tell Won
that the actual torpcdoing Of - vessel
was not very much worse thar the suS-
ponse and the many false alarms-any
of which might have proved to be an
enemy submarine. A merchant cap
tain was looking ont to sea one day,
when in the distance ne thought he
saw something dark and round. He
watched to see whether 1t would move.
1t did move, and then suddenly II dived.
There was no time to do anything,
since ne did not know from what direc-
tion the torpedo might come. He wait.

CHlNA'S MOST HOLY TEMPLE
Enclosure Within Which 10 Altar 81
Heaven for Centuries Consecrat-
d ed to Use Of Emperor,

The Temple of Heaven In Pekin 10
sacred to the use of Chinese emperors: (:
and finally, a temple that is not one
building. but a park several miles In
area, with wonderful pagodas and
affairs scattered among its groves.
The Temple of Heaven has been for
centuries as IL is now. There is red
tiled wall inclosing grove, and within,
q yellow tiled wall incloSing another
grove, with bme-roOfed temples in un-
expected places. In the most secluded
spot is the Altar of Heaven, the tenn
pies holy of HOLES.
The Altar of Heaven is series 81
broad terraces and steps of white mar
ble, leading To circular platform Of
marble. On this elevated platform. uH.
der the open sky, the empcrorS of the
old Chinese empire knelt twice a yea.
to offer sacrifices to the spirit OF
heaven. ON lower steps of the altar
knelt the courticrs. while the emperor
went through traditional rites and of
ferod prayers and rolls OF costly silks.
This Altar of Heaven Is said by the
Chinese to be the center OF the earth
In proof of this the sightSeer is today
allowed to stand on the top OF the
altar, the place so long reserved for
emperors only, and tap the marble 70
that he may note the hollowness OF the
earth below.
Since the last living representative
of the dragon prayed for prosperity at
the Altar Of Heaven, the temple has
become neglected and moss grown. 4
president of China offered TO sacrifice
for the people at the emperor's altar,
but the spirit OF old China was strong
er than ne calculated. The Altar OF
Heaven is still untcnded.
