The question whether conscience Is1 an infallible guide is of academic im- l'r portanee only. That any function of the human mind should deserve to be called infallible would seem improb able. We have not infallible know ledge oi’ infallible judgment, and know ledge and judgment furnish, the mate-, rial for conscience. -But one thing we ■ know; 4t is never safe for any man to go against his conscience. To admit that conscience partici pates in the limitation 'belonging to all things human -is not to admit that we have only such conviction of right as 'belongs to a method of triad end er- /ror. We learn by our mistake®', but there 1® that which warns against the mistake' before we make it, and ap plies the les'son afterward in term® of admonition against recurrence. Not only In the physical world-, but much M. the moral life of men, there Fcpemtes what Matthew Arnold called I “a Power, not ourselves, which makes for righteousness.” The merging of that Power riot ourselves with the power that -is ourselves: in the realm of moral action- is the triumph of God working, in us, while we concurrently and freely work out our own salvation. “The spirit of man is the dandle of th© Lord” is an ancient affirmation, de claring the kinship w of our sense, of right with that which determine®' the, very essence of God.

There, ultimately, must one liisteri for the "Categorical imperative” of which Immanuel Kant wrote and spoke.

It is not so many years ago, writes (that may be. The weight of a full leg a London Journalist, when, if anyone lost a leg, they had either to face the lifelong -use of crutches or wear a wooden peigstump tog. And, if they lost an arm-,..there was but the choice of pinning the empty sleeve across (heir chest, or of YiSving a wooden stump-arm with a. hook at the end or a dummy, and useless hand. All that, however, has been changed’. If,.now, you had the misfortune to lose a leg, you could' be. fitted with one with’, which, you. cbuld^ .literally, do everything, and none Would know you had an artificial member. You could walk, run, ride, _plqy »golf, oricket, hockey—anything. ” ’ A • 5,000 miles world-tramp was made' recently by a man with; dhr artificial leg! These-legs are,made p-f duralumin, a light but immensely strong metal. Every joint in the leg i® on ball bear ings, and at .the hip there is a "univer sal” “joint which enable® one to turn the leg and1 foot, in any direction. Standing, the leg 1® rigid. If, after am putation at the hip, the wearer de sires to sit, a slight pressure releases the knee and hip joints, and a seat can be taken in the most natural man ner. Unlike natural joints, these in- •gendou® halt-bearing one® do not .get stiff with age,- gout, or rheumatics! And' there is no nibbing or weight at the point of amputation, ’ wherever is 'but three and a half .pounds, ^and the contours of the body take that easily. Arms are mbre wonderful* than logs'. The lifelike hands, perfectly shaped, flesh-collored they are made of a spe cial lime,' and with the usual lines on them, have fingers which, with a move ment, pick up a tumbler,, fork, knife or even a pin! The two forefingers move -about and close on the thumb in quite natural fashion. Another’type of arm has- an adjust able ratchet, operating a split hook. That will grip and' swing) a golf club, bat, rod, chisel1—anything, A flex movement of the arm stump raises the hand to the mouth. These scientific limbs must be seen to be believed', and worn to be fully appreciated. -And an arm weighs but 22 ounces! To-day's artificial eyes have not a fixed, glassy, lifeless appearance. They match, move in perfect conjunction with the real member, and- dilate and contract in company with the natural eye. Messrs. W. J. Wilson and Co., of Bedford Row, London, whoso artificial Mmfos are described above, told me that in one of the* last parties of Aus tralians -to return home every man had one or mdre of these artificial wonder®, and of the crowds who Watched them embark not one noticed anything! Story Words. Macadam. No more fitting tribute to an invent or could be paid than that the product which he invented should bear his name. Thus is John London McAdam, the highway engineer of Scotland, Who instituted the use of crushed stone as a paving material, remembered through the use of the words "ma cadam,” macadamize,’' and other deri vatives. Although McAdam rose to the posi tion of general surveyor of metropoli tan roads with a grant of £10,000 from the English Government for carrying on the work of highway improvement, there is evidence in the now Obsolete word "macadamite” that the McAram system of road-making met with op position, The fact that "macada- mites” was used to designate those Who advocated, macadamized roads in dicates- that there were others Who did not favor the.method. In the mid-nineteenth century the word was used figuratively for break ing up anything into pieces. "Flinty hearts/' for instance, are spoken of as "macadamized.” .— Pay Up.
