Golden text, John 6. 35.
Verse 30. 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).

waste, but simply an .uninhabited
region.. The place mentioned was

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

some time in the mountain before
emerging into the preseece of the
waiting multituclei (John 6. 3-5).
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. The scribes and
Pharisees, who were the religious
leaders, were themselves blind to
spiritual truth, so that the people
were left to wander aimlessly with-
out spiritual guidance.

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.

With the spread of horseracing,
there bas come a, great increase in

So many embezzlements end defal-

houses in the last few months have
been traced to poolrooras and bet-

is now considering 8teps to check

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

GREENWICH TIME MUST RULE
All London Clocks Must Be Under
City Control.
The craze in. London, England,
for regulation has reached the
clocks. 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.

will consist of three small pavilions
joined together.

"The worst, prisoner on record
was a big Italian named. Mayoni,
who -was lyine° in a Northern prison
chaeged withmurder. One morn-
ing early he bega,n smashing every-
thing in his cell„ and before the offi-
eers could gather be had managed
to burst the door'. 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.

GAVE UP ALL HMIS
OF EVER GETTING WELL
Mr. Jacob E. Herr, 111 Grange $t.,
Stratford, Ont., writes Ten years ago
suffered with a very peculiar disease.
I would go to bed feeling as 'Well as could
be, and after sleeping for five hours I
would Wake with a severe pain in my
back, then tnoving into my side and
breast. The pain was so terrible I
could not lit in my bed, and usually had
to sit -until morning with a pillow propped
up behind my back. With all my pain
I would go to work, and after working up
to about 10 o'clock the pain wottld leave
tne entirely. The same thing would hap-
pen the next night, and every night for
two years. I tried four different doctors,
but none of thent did me any good. I
tried a great many patent medicines, but
all of no avail. I gave up all hopes of
ever getting well. A friend persuaded me
to try „Milburrt's Ileart and Nerve Pills.
I bought four boxes, and atter using the
first one I Mt a change for the better,
and after using three bexee I could sleep
all night. The pains Imre gone, and 1
was completely cured.
Hart and Nerve Pills are
60 cerits per brie, or 3 boxes for $1.25, at
