Many talk glibly about a change cf heart and of being born again, as if it were a process instantane- ously accomplished, affecting only certain separate, hidden, and unre- lated parts of the person. Religious leaders have called for a change of heart because it means something vastly deeper and more significant than any e►uotional wave; it means changing the whole primal spring of the life. Wo have been trying to redeem the race by feercing men into the ways of virtue, making them walk ,n the straight t aths by the persua- sion of high and unscalable fences. We have been trying to secure sal- vation by legislation, restriction, direction, and other mechanical means. We need to get at the springs of action, to change lifo at its real sources. DOES A MAN LOVE THE EVIL; can you turn him to the love of the god by forcing him into virtue's paths at the point of a bayonet? Just as soon as the man with the bayonet goes to sleep the evil lover ail! flee to his old way. He needs that which will give him a love for the good as strong as his present love for the evil. Every man fol- lows his own heart; they will be solved, not by changes of adminis- trations, not by fixing this law or that ordinance. Laws and ordin- ances are effective, as they grow out of the wills and ideals of a peo- ple. No society can ho made right mechanically ; the right comes vit- ally. by our hearts being set upon ii, by its ideals becoming the pas- sion of our whole being.

The town is huilt at a height of 1.200 feet above sea -level. in a volley between a hroad torrential river and hills which rise almost perpendicularly tc. over 3,000 feet. Until 1858, the hewn was an insignificant borough, which merely attracted the atten- tion of passing tourists by its pic- turesque situation, and its frown- ing old stronghold, surmounted by an ancient Moorish tower. In 1885, hcwever, it became suddenly fam- ous owing to certain alleged miry culous occurrences. An ignorant little shepherdess. named Bernadette Soubirous, aged fc urteen, alleged that one day, whilst she was with her sister and another little girl, picking up pieces et wood near the Massabielle Rock, she suddculy saw a vision. The vision appeared to her from a niche in the rock over the neighboring grotto. It was that of a beautiful young woman. dressed all in white, with a blue sash round the waist. The vision was surrounded with n luminous halo, and, on seeing it. Bernadette fell on her knees. and remained in a state of ecstacy un- til the vision disappeared. This was on February lltli, and when the child related what she had seen she was treated as one who stiffer - .d from hallucinations On the . and the loth the vision again ap- pea reel. THE SPRING OF HEALTH. PILGRIMAGE OF THE 600,000. Scores of shopkeepers have made fortunes out of the sale of candles, medals, statues. sacred pictures, rosaries, or beads, crucifixes, etc. Even hotels sell trinkets and "charms." Lourdes reached the high-water niark of its renown last year - the Jubilee year -when over 000,0a0 rilgrims visited the grotto. In the month of August alone 90,000 pil- grims, drawn from all classes of so- ciety, were conveyed to Lourdes in 130 special trains from all parts of Europe. So great was the rush that en one occasion, the lion. Henry White, American Ambassador in Paris, vainly offered $60 fur a night's lodging at Lourdes. -Lon- don Answers. IDENTIFICATION ilY 11;INS. New Prison Method Suggested by an Italian Professor. A new method of identification of prisoners has been de%ised by means of photographs taken of the veins on the back of the hand. I'rof. Tomassia, an Italian professor, the inventor, bases his method on the obseravtion that no two persons have the veins on the back of the band so much alike as to allow room for confusion --legis, indeed, than with finger prints. The prisoner's Band is held dow n - ward for seteral minutes, or the pulse of the wrist is restrained, and the veins are then photographed. This photograph, Prof. Tomassia says, will always be available fur explicit proof. whereas criminals now understand that with an ordin- ary razor they can operate on their own hands without much pain or inconvenience, and tnay change the pattern of the finger print beyond chance of indentification. To burn the finger tips is more painful, but perhaps even more effetcivo. On the other hand, as Prof. Tomaasia points out, only w serious and dangerous operation can modify the veinal system.
