vent startling. I.Ike Klijah, his ;
prototype ho was clad with the s
of beasts and was nourished with
dried locusts of the wilderness :
the honey gathered with his i.
hands from the rocks. And his v

riblo warning. The times ileman !

John hurled his fiery message ns'iin ;t

his paramour, the publicans and their
oxtnrtionn, the Boldiers and their vio
lence, the Kabbls and their false tra
ditions, the Pharisees and their hypo
crisies; demanding from all alike,
contrition, confession, restitution, on
version. There was one word that
was the key note of all his mini-try.
It was the Dingle word Repent.
Repentance Demanded.
Ami a mighty reformation bro'.:e
out, as Are breaks out In dry cra.-.j of
the prairie, and In n few days tic
whole country was in a religious i :i
flagratlon. Perhaps such a revival
the world has never seen. Tens of
thousands of people (locked f r.;:.i
every direction until the wildoT. 'ss
of Judea became a vast camp n:tet
ing with penitents thronging the
preacher. Nobles, ecclesiastics,
diets, publicans crowded to the
tismal waters, confessing their
and seeking divine forgiveness.
whole nation seemed swept otT
feet by the supernatural tidal wave
regeneration.
Yet in the midst of all tills eestacy
ef piety and almost universal si: e.;.-;
John the Uaptist kept a level held,
and never forgot the fact that he was
milv the herald, the forerunner, i n
doorkeeper, the avant courier of ta
king. They tried to fawn upon : :id
flatter him, but ho Instantly replied
them. They nought for his geneali y.y.
and his pedigree and he said in elVt:.
Don't look for it, it doesn't mat
I am nothing but a voire, and I l..:v
only one thing to do, and that Is ;
cry, "J'repare the way of the Lord."

and the iirst of the new, I shall s,.ua

crease, but I must decrease. 1 I)

you with tire.
That was the message of John :::e
it awoke the nation like a trumpet
blast. Is such preaching as that r.e d
ed to-day? How many sermons haw
you ever heard on the subject of re
pentance? We have fallen upon a
time when It is not considered goad
form to utter such a disturbing word
In many quarters. There is sin In
high places and In low places, tin
Jeweled, perfumed, brilliant, flagrant,
bewitching, thrusting Its smirkin:;
face into all circles of society, but ho.v
few there are with the spirit of John
the Uaptist to tear off the mask ol
beauty and reveal the death's head
behind it.
Hut It la evermore true that the
king can not come Into his own until
the way is somehow prepared before
him. NJ by Ignoring, humoring sin
can the highway be cant up for his ad
vancing feet. To break a road through
the wilderness Is rough work. It is
no holiday task, It cannot be done in
drehsing gown and slippers. It re
quires a vast amount of cutting, and
uprooting, and ploughing, and filling,
and- blasting, and excavating. Hut
when It Is done there is a broad and
level highway where onco a tangled
Juugle obstructed progress, nnd over
such a turnpike the king will come.
Wo cannot all bo reformers like Joliu
the Iluptist, but we can hearken to
mid obey the voice of such a niea
penger when he appears and thus pre
pare the way of the Lord and make
ilia paths straight.

No such feats ought to be expected
from the kind of bathtubs shown In
the picture. They are humbler a:l

fill a useful purpose. They are mi-nnt
for the homes of Kngilsh vvorkingmcn,

The sunken hath in the family

of the kind built now in the London
suburbs for workingtnen. It has been
found most useful In two family
houses and saves space needed for a
bathroom. It is not nearly so danger
ously as it looks here.
The cover, which in the picture is

Nor would there be any likelihood of
sparks from the stove falling on the
slin of the careless bather, since the
fuel is gas. The desirability of taking
a bath in the kitdien Is of course
merely a matter of personal taste.
More desirable and also intended
for the bedrooms of houses built for
workingmeti is the oilier bathtub.

Availability.
A nobleman was once showing n
friend a rare collection of precious
stones which he hail gathered at a
great expense and enormous amount
of labor. "And yet," he said, "they
yield me no income."
His friend replied, "Come with me,
and I will show you two stones which
cost me but five pounds each, yet they
yield mo a considerable income." lie
took the owner of the gems to his
grist-mill and pointed to two gray
millstones, which were always busy
grinding out grist. Success Magazine.
When He Came Home.
One of the neighbors who was vis
iting the home of llttlo Dunniek, aged
three, said, "Dunniek, 1 want you to
go nlong homo with me, and how long
will you stay?" Dunniek put up four
fat little lingers, saying, "I will stay
these many days nnd come home on
my thumb."-The l)ulin...tor for August.
Left Over.
Ilarhara, aged four, had always
been allowed to make small enkes
out of the scraps of dough left from
the morning's baking, so one morning
after being sent to gather eggs, she
came running In with a very tiny one
and exclaimed, "Oh, mamma! sco this
little egg, it must be that's all the
