Both man and horse now wear gas
masks at the front. The troonora in
the front trenches long ago found the
mnsKB a necessary protection against
the poisonous fumes hlown
the German trenches, but It Is only
recently Hint protection of the same
sort has been devised for the horses
used at the front, though they are as
Buscepiioie as their masters to Dolson
guses.

Niebuhr, the rate was 8 1-3 for a ten

A Clever Boy.
Urchin Did you see a little boy
about my own size round the corner?
Old Gentleman Yes, I believe I did.
"Did he look angry?"
"I didn't notice."
"Did he look frightened?"
"I dou't know. Why?"
" 'Cause I heard he was round there,
and I don't know whether he wants to
lick me, or whether he's hiding from
me, that's all."

"Sir. Smlthers," said his wife. "If I
remember rightly you have often snld
that you disliked to see a woman con

,"I do," said Smlthers, positively.
"You consider It unwomanly and In
delicate, I believe?"
"Very."
"And von don't see limv nnv mnn
could allow his wife to do anything
of the kind?"
"Certainly, I don't."

"Yes : for the last elelit years I

An Interesting Universe.
"That only Is important which
eternal." said a sophist a long time
ago. Never believe lti chirps an ex
change. Everything and every experi
ence that touches one's life Is Impor
tant and worthy of Investigation. Ev
ery person one meets has a messngo
to Impart; every book contains a vital
lesson; every object and condition
represents a principle to be mastered.
Everything counts. Whutever chal
lenges the attention Is worth consid
eration. "The world exists for the ed
ucation of every mnn In It." There Is

which the sincere studeut cannot af

What this world needs., and all It!
needs. Is to know God. ' It has uinte-j
rial resources,
enough. It bus a I
vast amount of
knowledge of the
heavens nbov e,'
the earth beneath,
and the wuters
under the earth.,
It has power al
most unlimited. It
can do anything It
sets out to do, cer
t u I n I y anything
that needs to bo
done. Hut It does
not know God,
whom to know
aright Is life eter
nal. Other wise
here would' not he so many weak iind
wasied lives, so much doubt, nnd fear,
and despair, so much cruel onines-
lon, and hitter hatred, and rivers red

reach only a limited number nf tipnnln.
For this reason, and for the further
reason that in spite of nil that Is hclne

We reullze that the memhern nf!
Christian Endeavor societies, and'
smaller organizations, are nlrendv

inennore, the covenants of most
churches require their memhers tn rtn

How to Induce them to dn n-tinr hv

problem. To scold them is worse than,
useless. To hind upon them addi

method which seems llkelv tn
Is for pastors and lay workers to make!
me Jiinie so Interesting nnd attractlvoi
that people will fool that thev ennnnt
afford to neglect It. Tluit we cannot
imke It Interesting to others, unless
we enjoy It ourselves, is evident, hut
we must enjoy It, or resign our posi

It.
