''Blood Money" was the name an
piled in the Middle ages and well init
the more modern period to the money
paid for blOodshed. It might be either
the compensation paid by a manslayer
to the nearest relatives Of the victim,
to secure himself. and his kin frDm
vengeance, or the money paid as a
reward for bringing about the death
Of another directly or through evil
dence. 1t was once common among
the Scandinavian and Teutonic peo-
pies, who called this money payment
wergild. The price varied with the
nature Of the crime and the rank Of
the victim. Certain crimes, SUCH a.
the staying Of a sleeping person. could
not be compensated by money pay
ment; such criminals were declared
outlaws and could be slain with Inn
punity. The term Is now often applied
to the reward or bride paid for giving
up criminal to Justice. 2

NEW YORK HINT CT VENICE

What the Brooklyn bridge lis to the
resident Of Brooklyn the reservoir Is
to the middle uptown New Yorker a
refreshing and beautiful place for q
brisk walk, says the, New York Sun.
The reservoir, particularly the up.
per one, with path on the brink, is a
place Of romance. Across the water
rise stately houses; they seem almost
on the edge Of the water, like the
houses Of Venice. Sometimes the
water Is a. sheet Of ice. One day it
seemed like q. stretch of gray taffeta,
with inserts Of blue crepe where the
wind rippled the patches Of water that
remained. Close to the shore broken
bits Of ice tinkled continually against
9 stretch Of solid ice, with the sound
Of sleigh bells.
But in summer there Is another
aspect to the reservoir. Horseback
riders gallop around in fetching cos
tunes. while the water sparkles in the
sun. s
But there Is one point at certain
hour that lifts you ont Of New York,
out Of America, out Of the world. The
point is the western stretch Sof the
southern side. The hour Is sunset. The
magic Is produced by the fountain, a
thin, high sweep Of spray painted
with. rainbow shades BY the setting
sun. Up goes the stream, swirling into

Beginning with Monday Of next

IMPROVEMENT WEEK. .
The object Of this week will be
impress patrons of the mail service,
as to how they may assist in expedit-
ing the delivery and dispatch Of their
own mail. u
There are many things that the
public can do to lessen the work Of
the postal officials, and to increase
its efficiency. For instance, see that
every letter is plainly: and correctly.
addressed. You may think t is plain
enough because you know where it is
going, or where you intend it to 60.
bit remember that piece Of mail will
be handled by many persons all
trained along that line Of worlk-if ii
is not clear and plain that letter or
whatever it may be is liable to 60
wrong and be delayed from a prompt
delivery Take especial pains in ad-
dressing it as it should be.
See that your return is on the let
ter somewhere; the best place is on
the upper left hand corner on the
address side Of the envelope. There
are many reasons why better service
can be rendered ! il your return adj
dress is on the letter; II the post
mister discovers that the letter il
incorrectly addressed as it occasion
ally happens, the letter may be inn
mediately returned to the writer and
the mistake corrected. Or II some
other official along the line discovers
the mistake the letter will be I'M

But let us not lose sight Of the
grace underlying the searching ques-
tlons Of Christ. Thrice had Peter de-
MED Him in public. and he Is here
given the privilege Of thrice publicly
confessing Him.
But our text deals not only with
Peters confession, but also with his
commission, "Feed my lambs" Indeed,
after both the second and third con-
fesslons. Christ says: "Feed Or. v.
tend) my Sheep" These are the lambs
md sheep for whom the Great Shep-
herd died. What q great evidence of
His love for Peter, and of the conf
dcnce He reposes IN the once erring
disciple, that He will commit to his
care those who are so precious to
Him! Christ had said to Peter be-
fore his fail: "When thou art con-
verted, strengthen thy brethren" Now
that Peter has been converted, or
turned, and knows his own weakness,
he is preparing te help others. It
hns been beautifully said: "When
brought to nothing, He can use us
In our nothingness, and when lie can
use us, He WILL"
Tho Privilege Of Martyrdom.
There Is still another way In which
Christ's grace was manifested toward
Simon on the occasion we are consid-
ering, although 1t Is sometimes not
appreciated. After the third confess
sion. Jesus said: "When thou vast
young thou girdedst thysclf, and walk
edst whittier thou wouldest: but when
thou shalt be old. thou shalt stretch
forth thy hands, and another shall
grid thee, and carry thee whittier
thou wouldest not" John explains:
'This spoke he, signlfying by what
death he should glorify God" Tradl-
tion tells us that Peter was crucifled
head downward, since he did not feel
worthy to be upright on his cross as
was his Lord. Not all would covet
such death, but it Is to be recalled
that Peter had boasted Of his willing
ness to die for Christ and then had
miserably failed. How he must have
appreciated the opportunity Of making
good even Mt this point!
The nun In the story only got back
her position, but Peter was advanced
