| first Democratic tariff revision enact-
ed in a score of years.
The President signed the bill with
two pens. That with which he wrote
‘““Woodrow’’ was given to Representa-
tive Underwood and the other, with
which he completed his signature, he
presented to Senator Simmons.

House ways and means committee;
Chairman Simmons and members of
the Senate financial committee, Vice
rresident Marshall, President Pro
Tempore Clark and Majority Leader
Kern of the Senate, Speaker Clark,
members of the cabinet aad news-

The law went into effect on Satur-
day, but collectors of customs will
continue to assess the duties of the
Payne-Aldrich act, withholdiug final
liquidation of each entry until the re-
ceipt of copies of the new law. In
this way, it is expected, there will be
no delay in passing importations

New Incandescent Lamp.
Another wonderful improvement i.
the incandescent electric lamp was
recently announced from the experi-
mental laboratories; of the General
Electric Company. <The new lamps
will cut the consumption of electricity
in half, consuming only one-half watt
of current for each candle-power of
light. The present tvpe of tungsten
filiament lamps consume one watt per
eandle-1. J ser.
The new lamps contain especially
shaped tungsten filaments and are
filled with inert gas, such as nitrogen,
at a pressure of about an atmosphere.
The types which it is expecte to first
develop are adapted to comparatively
high current consumption, 6 amperes
and above, and operate at an effici-
ency of half a watt per candle-power.
This is fuliy twice as high an effici-
ency as the most efficient incandes-
cent lamps heretofore ayailable. The
new lamps promise to be of particular
value in a field not heretofore covered
by incandescent lamps, and should
greatly broaden the applicatsons in
which they can be used advantageous-
ly, particularly in the direction of
very large candle-power units.
The research leading to this discov-
ery has been going on in the research
laboratory at Schenectady for several
years.

The sending of the bill to the Presi-
dent was preceeded by a parliament-
ary tangle in the House, some leaders
asserting the Senate’s dropping of
cotton futures tax amendments left
no dispute; but Speaker Clark ruled
| the House must withdraw the Smith-
L.ever cotton futures tax amendment
o be in accord, and this was done on
notion of Chairman Underwood.
MENDS POSSIBLE FLAW.
‘“This bill is of too vast importance
or the House not to clear up any
juestions of proceedure,’ said Speak-
or Clark. ‘'The measure must be put
in such shape that skilled lawyers
cannot pick flaws in it.”?
This position was endorsed by Rep-
‘esentative Payne, the Republican
tariff leader.
The House then agreed to the tar-
iff bill conference report, at 1:22
clock, and Speaker Clark affixed his
signature at 1:25 o’clock. It was sent
o the Senate and Vice President Mar-
‘hall signed the till at 1:34 o’clock.
The bill reached the White House
6 2:30 o'clock, but the Piesident ad-
hered to his plan not sign the meas-
are until 9 o’clock.

Lawyers’ Wills,
That lawyers seem unable to make
their own wills has again been illus-
trated by the fact that the will of
Lord Llandaff, the noted English
judge, who died a month or two ago,
has been found in a very incomplete
condition. Probably the most extraor-
dinary case of a lawyer’s will that led
to many legal difficulties, was that of
Lord St. Leonards, who died in 1875.
He boasted that he would leave behind
him an absolutely perfect last will and
testament, and spent years in drafting
it. To secure this precious document
he had a box specially made, which
never left his room except in his or
his daughter’s custody. But when the
box was opened after his death, in
1876, it was found to be empty, and
the testator’s intentions had to be
proved from the recollection of its con-
tents by his daughter, who had acted
as his amanuensis.
Ancient Family of Bankers.
Clay tablets found in the mound of
Jumjuma speak of the great banking
house of the Igibi or Jacobs family of
Jews, which controlled the finances of
Babylonia for centuries. The ancient
plan of the city has been determined;
its walls have been measured; its
streets have been traced. Though
large parts of the city still lie buried
far beneath later ruins, enough of it
has been uncovered so that we are no
longer dependent upon the imagination
of the artist for a picture of it. We
have the city itself to tell us how it
looked, how its people lived and trad-
ed and worshiped, and how the great
Nebuchadnezzar ruled. Thus the
dead cities of the Bible are no longer
de:d; the spade of the excavator is
restoring them to us.—Christian Her-
ald.
Dance Reflects Its Period.
The dancing masters who attended
the annual convention of the Ameri-
can National Association of Dancing
at Asbury Park were divided in opin-
ion as to the future of the popular
dance novelties. “Dances,” one expert
said, ‘have always reflected the age
of their birth. The minuet was timely
in its day, and it gave way to the more
rapid quadrille.” The polka and waltz
held out until the two-step made them
appear old-fashioned, and it was only
natural that a time like this, with cus-
ideas which would have
been impossible in the days of the |
ce, should have

SCHOOL OF PRAYER
Topic—*“Getting the most from pray-
er.” Psalms 34:1-22.
A mystery, a reality—such is pray-
er. The wise men write learned
books, endeavoring to explain prayers
processes and power on psychological
grounds, but we turn from these un-
satisfled. By a sense beyond explan-
ation we know that prayer is not mere-
ly some higher science, some subli-
mated law, some psychological reac-
tion. Prayer is best understood in
simplest terms. We grasp its reality
most clearly when our minds are most
childlike. Prayer is just asking God
for what we need, and expecting him
to answer our prayers according to his
greater wisdom. The Jesus prescrip-
tion for prayer is sufficient: “Ask,
and ye shall receive.”
The warrant for human prayer is
found in the character of God.
They get most from prayer who put
most into prayer, of time, interest,
faith and knowledge.
Affection understands what is mys-
terious to science. Loving trust finds
none of the difficulties in prayer which
stagger the learned critics. To the de-

voted heart it is perfectly clear that
the great God who loves his own, |
prizes their confidence and delights to |
fulfill their requests. Because God is
God, and cares for his children with a |
love passing that of an earthly parent,
he fulfills to them all of the offices of
a father.
“Blind unbelief {8 sure to err,
And scan his work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.
“Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace;
Behind a frowning providence,
He hides a smiling face.”
Ordinarily, they get the most from
prayer who are most in prayer.
The platform oF revaiitng prayer is
labeled, “Thy will be done.” A sense
of God's sovereignty, and of his right
to decide what is best, and of the wis-
dom of all of his decisions, must un-
derlie all approach to the throne of
grace. The Gethsemane garden cry,
“Not my will, but thine; he done,” i8
fundamental to. the entire Christian
idea of prayer. Stubborn self-will
can command no favors from heaven.
In the school of prayer the great
life lessons are learned. There it is
that a sense of relations and propor
tions is acquired, so that life is not dis-
torted, with the nonessentials first and
the essentials last. It is a profound
education for any soul to grasp the
truth that God is on the throne of the
universe. Then all lesser truths and
facts fall into proper relationship. ‘A
sense of humility and teachableness
follows naturally. One is brought in-
to spiritual fellowship with all the
family of God's praying children as he
kneels before the throne; prayer is a
real school of brotherhood. The elu-
sive peace which the world 8o vainly
pursues becomes the possession of the
one who enters often into the prayer
closet. Strength, wisdom, content-
ment, power, all await the pupil in the
school of prayer.
“There is a spot where spirits blend,
Where friend holds fellowship with
friend,
Through sundered far; by faith they

Around the common mercy seat.
“There, there on eagle wings we soar,
And time and sense seem all no more,
And heaven comes down our souls to
greet,
And glory crowns the mercy seat.”

Every growing life needs periods of
detachment. “Come ye apart,” is the
master's word to all his disciples.
Freedom from dependence upon and
entanglement with the world i8 won
by him who goes apart to pray. In
this experience of isolation and medi-
tation he realizes himself, as well as
God. George Herbert's injunction is
wise:
“By all means use some times to be
alone;
Salute thyself, see what thy soul
doth wear. :
Dare to look within thy chest, for it
is thine own,
And tumble up and down what
thou findest there.”

“The Lord is thy keeper.”—Ps. cxxi.,
5. We may lie down in peace, and
sleep in safety, because the Shepherd
of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.
