The apoetles-The lit- eral meaning of tb.e word 'apostle" is "one sent with orders." The name is applied to the twelve whom Jesus selected from among his numerous disciples. It is de- scriptive of their official work ra- ther than of their discipleship. The names of the twelve are recorded by Luke (6, 12-16) and Matthew (10. 2-4), Gather themselves together unto Jesus -After they returned from their missionary tour described in Mark 6. 7-13. 31. Come ye . . . and rest a while -The necessity for rest is partially shown in the next clause. This is hardly the full reason, however, as Jesus sought intervals of quiet fel- lowship with the twelve in which he might nsore carefully prepare them for their future work. Mat- thew gives an additional reason, namely, the profound grief which overcame Jesus when he heard of the death of John the Baptist (14. 13). 32.

Sir Hiraan Maxim is a, firm be- liever in the sea serpent. The other day he gave out this interview :- "I think the time has arrived when we must admit that there are certain large animals living in the sea that aee not describe,c1 in any works on natural history. Mesers. 0. A. Nichols and Co., Spring -field, IVIass., published in 1882 a, very re- warkable work. In this I find that in 1851, and for some years follow- ing, the sea serpent or eea serpents appeared very often off the New England coast. • "It appears there were twd kinds of &hese monsters. On one occa,sion the animal -that was seen had a fish -like head, very large eyes, gills, and a continuous fin extend- ing the whole length of its back, supported by numerous pines, a.iter the manner of a. stickleback. It was simply a very large fish of an un- known variety. "The monster that was seen a great number of times by numerous pecrefft, had about the diameter of a large eask, with a. head closely resembling that of a snake. "I quote the following from the publicatio-n referred to :---- 'From all this testimony there seemed to be no doubt,. reasonable or plausible, of the existence of a sea, serpent, of some 80 or 100 feet in length, and of the size of a, large barrel or cask. 'Indeed, so great was the sen- sation created by the movements of the monster, so repeatedly seen for suecessive years by so many wit- nesses who saw the creature on shore or .at sea, some, of them from a distance of only 10 yards. " 'Aceording to these witnesses the monster was from 80 to 90 feet long, his head usually carried about two feet above the, water ; e dark brown color, the body with 30 or mere protuberances, compared by some to foiir-gallon kegs, by others to a Wing of buoys, and ca,lled by several persons bunches on the back; motion very rapid, fester than that of a whale, swimming a mile in three minutes, and some- times more, leaving a wake behind OIL TANKERS IN DEMAND.

Out into two and a half or three inch slices, cover with salt, and leave it thus for one hour. Then wash thoroughly .and arrange the slices neatly in a' breed„bottomed pot- , so as not to have them overlap one 'another. Now cover the fish with two large onions (sliced), two car- rots cut into slices a quarter of an inch thick, two bay leaves, three whole allspice, two teaspoonfuls of salt and one of black pepper. Pour into the pot carefully, so as not to disturb the order of the contents, two quarts of cold water. Let it come slowly to the boil and sim- mer gently for nearly four hours or until the water has boiled down to one quart. The advantage of the slow boil is that it retains all of the flavor of the fish. Do not stir while the cooking goes on.

One day there was a B.B.B. book left at our door, and I read about Doan's Kidney Pills, and I decided to try them.

As sheep not having a shepherd -This unusually strong figure makes clear the hapless condition of the .people. Like sheep, they were dependent upon the guidance of shepherds.

TIOT ICE NOW. Marvel Front Unique Apparatus and Tremendous Pressure. Dr. Percy W. Bridgraae of the departraent of physics, Harvard University, has etteceede,d in mak- ing "hot ice," He has manufactur- ed some having a temperature of 173 degrees Fahrenheit, and he is confident be can make it even hot- ter. The hot ice was produced by put- ting water under extraordinary heavy pressure and at 'the same time reeulating the temperature of, the water. The apparatuses include a hydrau- lic press for producing the pressure and a very thick tube of steel to hold the water. There is also pro- vision, by means of jackets on the tube, for keeping the contents con- etantly at any desired temperature. In studying the fie, forms of ice, Dr. Bridgman kept his steel bottle filled witla water and ice un.til he had gotten a pressure ef more than 2,000 atmospheres (more than '300,- 000 pounds a square inch) and a temperature of 173 degrees Fahren- heit. In appearance hot ice is similar to the brand in general use. -.e A RADIUM PALACE. Will, Be Opened in Paris, France, in October, 1913. . . Many Defaleatione Result of Race- track Gambling' With the spread of horseracing, there bas come a, great increase in •eacetrack gambling in Germany. So many embezzlements end defal- cations in banks and business houses in the last few months have been traced to poolrooras and bet- ting on horses that the Government is now considering 8teps to check •the evil. Instead of forbidding pools end bookmaking altogether, it is pro- posed first to try the effect of limit- ing the opportunities for betting by reducing the number of bookmakers and by closing poolreoms. The proposal. is also made to plate a limit on mininaum bets ta,ken, the, idea being that then only those who eat afford it will bet, while now bets as low as 10 cents are taken.

Hereafter, according to a ukase of the ,corporation of the city, all public timepieces merst be syn- chronized. London's clocks generally have never been noted for timekeeping and the new regulation meens that most of them will have to turn over a, new leaf if they expect to syn- chronize, with Greenwich time. Only three of the greet clocks have proved theinselves models of accuracy -those , of St. Paul' s Ca- thedral, the Law Courts and Big Ben in Westminster Palace. A tour of the streets proves that it is, the simplest thing to lose or gain time. By walking a block the pedestrian could gain from thirty seconds' to two heurs, or he might lose as much. Four reinute,s could be gained by crossitg Fleet Street from ene newspaper office to an- other, while a sporting paper on the same street had evidently stared its racing season by being five min- utes ahead of Greenwich time. St. Margaret's, whieh from its ecelesiastical associations would be expected to be trathful, was three minutes ahead of time, notwith- standing the reproachful looks of aecurate Big Ben acroes the way. Indeed, there seemed to be a con- epiracy disagreemett &Meng London cloblcs and on no street eould more thee two clecks be found th coincide. raees. AS HE IS STILL ALIVE.

A radium palace is being built in Paris, and will be formally opened by the Minister of Public Instruc- tion in October of next year.

Another will belong O the Pasteur Institute for experimental purpose,s; while the third., which is •to be between the other two, is be- ing built as a great safe, with walls ef°1ead, and eveey possible precau- tion against burglary. In this pa- vilion there will never be less than several hundred thousands of pounds' worth of radium stored, and there may often be much inore. ATE ONE MEAL,A DAY. But That One Was Euough for Sev- eral Ordinary Men. Green grass -This realistic tench of Mark's story indicates his habit of close observation and leve of the pietorial. It also makes known to us the season of the year, which was spring, about the tunas of the passover (John 6. 4), since in Pales- tine the grass is green for only a short period following the winter rains. 40. In ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties -Herein is suggested the or- derly arrangement of the people te render convenient the distribution of the food.

The fourth side remained -after the manner of the table of the ancients -empty a,nd epen." ' 43, Twelve basketfuls -Ordinary Oriental traveling bags,. Inasmuch as we are led to believe that Jesus and the twelve carried as litle "luggage" as possible on _their tours (Matt. 10, 0, 10), we may sup- pose that these bags were secured from among the people, many of wh6m were on their way to Jerusa- lem to attend he feast, of the pass - over (John 6. 4). There was ote "basket" for each apostle. 44. Vivo thousand nien-Not in - eluding wexnen and ehildren (Matt. 14. 21). " 'I forgot,' sa,id -the boy.

How he did it was a weeder, for three ordinary men eouldn't make any impression on it. "Then he came rushing out, arm- ed with a piece of lead pipe. which he had wrenches? from the wall, and it loolsecl as if someone was going to be killed. One of the officers ran upstairs, got on the gallery above, and chucked a bucket of eold water down on Ma,yoni's bead. Then the others made a rush. You'll hardly believe it, but it took fifteen men to get birn down and handcuff him!" The eccentric Dr. Fordyce, a well-known professor of, chemistry of the eighteenth century, believed that men required only one meal a day, and for twenty years he) prac- ticed what he preached. At four, the London Daily Chronicle states, he would present himself at Dolly's .ch -pp house in Paternoster Row, and immediately upon his arrival the cook would plate a'pouncl and a half of rump steak upon the grid- iron, While it was cooking the doc- tor would a -muse himself with some such trifle as half a boiled capon or plate of fith, and a glass or two of brandy. Then came the steak with a full accompaniment of bread and potat-oes and a quart tankard of strong C.c. This was followed by a bottle of old port, after which he would stroll O his rooms in Essex Street, where he met his class and gave lectures on chemistry. 75,000 CATTLE DIE.
