Semantic Career in Canada of a Young Scotch Emigrant, Lord Mount Stephen, one of the fore- most among Empire -builders, celebrated the eigetty-firet anniversary •a Ide birth at his heautiful Ilertfordeldre home, Brocket Ea11 mer Hatfield, on Sanday.

Lord Mount Stephen was, like Lord Strathcoma one of the creators of mod- enr Canada. Ile was born plain George Stephen at Dufftown, Banffshire, in 1829. Ilis father was a poor carpeuter, and George, honing for e few years at- tended the parish school, began hie career as a shepherd. bey on a form. Ambition afterwards carried him to Glasgow' mid then to London, where he obtainedemployment. as assistant lit firm of drapers with a large eolonial business, One day ids cousin entered the :atop and askoa him to give up the deep - cry business and go to Canada,. The boy —he wee then only twenty—had a wide vision even then, and he consented to throw up the prosaic calling of a lrap- er's assistant for the more energetic and freer life in a comparatively unknown couutry, By this timely migration he helped to make Canada and established for him- self a name which is as widely known as it is deeply respected. In conjunction with Lord Stratheona, then a struggling pioneer, he t prospered exceedingly, ea quired banking and railway interests, and undertook the construction of the great trans -continental line known as the Canadian Pacific Railway, of which he became president. Be subsequently made an enormeus fortune, gave largely to charities, and .In 1880 was created a baronet, while in 1891 a barony was conferred upon him. SOME OF HIS BENEFACTIONS. ,Among the large sums which he has distributed for philanthropic purposes ere the following: £200,000 to the King's Hosptial fund. £40,000 for poor Scottish clergymen. 425,000 to .Aberdeen infirmary, to clear off a. debt. With Lord Strathcona, built a hospital at Montreal for £200,000, and provided s, further £160,000 for its instintenance. Gave £35.,000 to the .A.berlour Orphan- age, Scotland. £10,000 to the Queen's unemployment fund. Distributed £500,000 among his rela- tives, preferring, as he said, to see that they enjoyed life now instead of waiting Rail after his death. Lord, Mount Stephen, who bas on many' oecasions been visited in his coun- try home by King George and other members of the Royal family, received scores of congretuletory messages on the occasion of his eighty-first birthday.

THE TWO ESSENTIALS 017 RELIGION - Throughout the scriptures two things are joined together as the essentials of religion; belief in God and obedience to His commandments. The two have been often separated ia human thought It has been taught that mere belief in the Lord is saving, without keeping the nom- mandments; and on the other hand it is often said, "It does not matter what a man believes, if he lives a good life." Now, the saying that it does not mat- ter what u man believes if he lives a good life would be true if it were pos- Bible. The difficulty with the saying is that it assume that one can live equally well whatever his belief, or if he has no belief in God and heaven. This Is not true. One cannot live a genuine- ly good life simply from motives of poi - ley, or froth any other motive than duty to the Lord. No othen motive is always present, whether acts are known to oth- er men or not; no other motive ie to be trusted always in this world; no other holds hereafter `when all mere care for eppearance is stripped off. No other motive than duty to the Lord goes Jeep to the correction of evil thoughts tnd feelings; and what is more, no other motive than duty ot the Lord brings the power of the Lord In resisting evil end doing good. Without this motive, which involves acknowledgment of the Lord, it is impossible to live a life that Is really good; real keeping of the corn- inandments makes one with such ac- knowledgment; they cannot be kept without it. It was the lesson of the Lord to the young man who claimed that lie had kept the commandments; must sell all, take up his cross, and follow Him. It was the lesson of the MADE 111ADA Best Yeast tW World Sold and Used Everywhere 'Prophet Minh, when to the, charge to, do judly and to, lott merey, he edded. "And to walk humbly with thy God."' This fad that a luau cannet. resiat evil elope, in his own etreugth, the scrip- tures repeatedly declares, hence the in- sistence of our doctrines upon the we cessity for Shunning evils as sins, To ahun them for any other reason is not to shun them, but only to prevent their appearing. In our .own strength we can- not conquer evil thought and feeling which are behind it; we cannot over- come the influenecs wheat press into the mime stirring up the mil; but the re- verse of this is true; that resisting evil beeause the Lord forbids it, and looking to Him for help, WS can conquer, we can- uot oaly refrain from the wrong action, but can overcome the wrong thought and feeling; we can resist theinfluences from the world and from hell, which arouse the evil. , This is the advautage, the privilege, of one whoacknowledges the Lord, who shuns and resists evil ',muse the Lord forbids it. Ile has at his command, the power which is able to. resiat and over- come. Sueh A one may say within him- self, Through Gad 1 shall conquer, And he .supplicates Divine aid and e prevails. Thus and not otherwise dnes Juan re- ethve power to resist mete and fight against them. This is to shun evils as sins; this is to keep the ten command- ments; this- is to live a good life, and is possible oulg to one who acknowd- edges the Lord (that is, the Lord Jesus Christ in His glorified humanity), and fights. in Ins strength. It does matter en a Most moinentous sense witet a men believes, for this streugth can nowhere else be found except in this acknowledg- ment and obedience.—Helper. RUSSIAN MODEL FOR SMALL ,GIRL.

And the older newsy slung hie bag at the newcomer. The newcomer, a slender under- sized boy, didn't want to get in any other. fellow's territory, and yet what could he do? Leaning bank against the building and blinking hard to keep, the tears back, he was accosted by a passing gentleman. "Why didn't you stand up for your own rights?" ho aaked the lad. The boy's chin quivered as he made reply: "You see, mother was took to the hospitalyesterday and she asked me to promise not to fight—anyways till she comes home again. You see, it's this way: The kids call me names 'cause I help her with the washings, and I fight 'em, and ma don't like It. Now that I didn't have to help her I thought ma.ybe I could earn tnoney telling papers to buy flowers for her." "Well, boy, I'm going to lunch at the olub, and you come with ir e, We Will sell those papers," said the man. Sell them they did, and the follow- ing morning the boy was ordered to report at the man's large 'mercantile house, where he was given a position. Some yearn have gone by, And we find this boy, now grown, the junior partner of the firm. He has eon, the men seer, because he eau alwayst be depended upon. If he says ho will, he will.

Some time ago my oldest son, who had just attained his 21st year, came to me and wanted my approval of his uniori with a sweet and sensible girl a year his junior. I looked at him hard, for the proposition did not appeal to me, and then I said: 'You talk of marriage when you are only a boy; wait till you get older and wiser.'" "I am nearly as old as you were when you got married.' "'Yes, but I was a fulagnown man, while candidly, my boy, you are yet not much more than a child.'

"Well, sir'grandfather gave you a home and took care of you and mother for two years, and I thought you might do as much for me.' , "This last shot from my- yenng man was so penetrating and true that I had no more to say, but joined the rascal in the laugh against myself.

It is a serious misfortune that the Christian teacher is inclined to dwell rather upon the cost of self-denial than its rewards. It is the province of relig- ion to convert the wilderness into a fruitful field and. to melee the desert blossom, as the rose. It is quite true that religion requires one to "take up the cross;" but it is none the less true that, the cross is a source of joy such as the world can give or take from one. And the first ele- ment in this joy is freedom from the sting of sin. The well man passing through a hospital where the suffering lie, saysto himself, "What a blessed thing is health." "To feel one's life in every limb" is a joy. And to got out from under the burden of sin he bore was to Butiyan's Pilgrim a joy as heav- enly as to view from P,eulahat heights the Celestial city. It is a joy of religion to be conselous of atrength. Underneath all the pas- sion for athletes is the joy which a strong Mtn knows who strips to run a raee, What a joy the soul knows when it lute kerne(' to sing, "0 my soul, thou has trodden down strength," The joy of conscious power, the joy of victori. mut strength, is a pert of the joy of life In which Jesus ealls us, although the way to it lies by the sea. A,nd then to crown all le the joy of hope. Always "more to follow,' Al - wee% happier fieldg and larger delights await us. Put these lines before the young Christian and tot simply the demand for selndetial. Self-denial es the strait gate, but paradiee 1ts behbed the gate.—Selected. et • • Help for Entombed Miner.

A CORN DISEASE. The appearance of a large number of =see of the disease known as pellagra, ana which has long been known to medi- cal literature, has aroused a good deal of interest in United States health cir- cle° and created considerable alarm among the munformed, who fancy it is a strange new kind of "leprosy.' This alarm is quite unwarranted, although the disease is one to be vigorously met. It has been known in Spain since 1735, when Caul described it under the name of Mal do in. Rosa, because of its charac- teristic erythenea or rash. The .name pel- lagra was given to it by Frapolli, of Mi- lan, and means a roughness of the skin ("pelle"—kin, "agra' —rough.) A bul- letin of the United States Publio'llealth Service says: The disease has been and still is a veritable scourge to certain parts of Eu- rope. It seems to have followed close upon the introduction of maize culture front America, first in Spain in 1700, and later in other parts of Europe. The ori- ginal homes of maize (America and Ada) have, however, escaped, probably by reason of climates better adapted to utilize culture. The pellagra zone is small when compared with the area over which maize is cultivated, yet pellagra does not occur except where maize is grown and extensively used as food by the poorer classes. Without quoting full data, some idea of theextent of the diseaea ntay be pined from the figures which follow, states that there are (1900) 30,- 000 pellagrins in Roumania; that in cer- tain parts of Italy as much as 30 per cent, to 50 per cent of the population have the disease, and that in 1899 there were nearly 73,000 sick wan the disease In all limier, this being upward of ten of the thousand of the rural population. Tttezek states (1893) that in Spain 2 per cont. of the rural population are affect- ed; that in 1884 there 'were 10,000 pone - grille in Italian hospitals and insane asylums. He also says that about 10 per cent. of the pellagrine in Italy are mentally affected. Sandwich states that he has seen over 500 cases in the five yeare from 1803-98 in,his wards at the Kau el Ainy Hospital at Cairo. The dis- ease was not reported in Egypt till 1893. The eause of tho disease Is now generally believed to be found in Indian. corn. Pellagra is found only in corn -using communities. The studied of Balardin in 1844 led Lim to conclude that it was due to spoiled make or a smut or fungus- on the grain. We know the powerful na- ture of the drug produced from a alma lar fungus or smut or eye (ergot) and medical sciende to -day is in a Much bet- ter position to estimate its eaueal sigrd- &ante then it WAS one hundred years ago. The corn of America is much freer from fungoia growth than that of the European continent, dna it is thought that has tended to comparative hrimun- ley frets smelt outbreak's. The first case In the Milted States was reported by Sharevell, 021 board. ship in New York harbor in 1902. In the same year Harris reported one in Geor- gi.

IfitmEgloinlaMMEEsmitmaz ANDEUZI "Mother=in=Law" Joke Isn't So Funny to Japanese Wife, YOUNG JAPANESE, WIPE AND HER DOMINEERING MOTHER -1N -LAW. The mother-in-law problem is not merely a comic supplement joke with the Japaoese. It is a stern reality, but the conditions ere somewhat reversed from what they are with ns. It is the wife that feels the presence of the mother-in-law in Japan. The wife is the servant of her husband's mother,, and the mother never even volunteers to "do the dishes."' "Two Chinese characters, representing Musk:Aid" in the Japanese language mean "heavenly person," Accordingly, his wife: is expected to honor him as a. thing from heaven. She does this by attending carefully to the duties of the household so as to leave her husband free to carry ou the business of life. The true wife will seerifice fortune and even life for the sake of her lord," says Jiro Shimoda, describing domestie cus- toms among the Japanese, in the cur- rent number of the Japan Magazine, published at Tokio. Continuing, he says: "One of our Japanese savants has said that though a wife were complete In all accomplishments of the modern world, Ito would not be a perfect wife If she did not know bow to shampoo the head of ber husband's father or mother. To married women of the vvest the idea may come as a shock, but in all respec- table circles of japancee society it Is token as a matter of course. ,In feet, any violation of it would be a legiti- mate cause for divorce; for a true bus - bond would rather see his wife show veneration for his parents than for him- self. "The Japanese woman is loved as a wife, ana honored as a mother. Thus though her duties are arduous, her life on the whole is happy and eontented. "Though the Japatteso woman is re- quired to be gentle above all things, and t� keep that spirit alive in the home, she it not a motor° without courage or bravery. In old Japan, when a Anonsmotammonommognmainomommit (blighter was married she brought at part of her dower a dagger, and piepar ed to defend her husband even on the honeymoon, and to risk her life for hin if need be. There are many stories ce heroic women in Japan that recall tie women of Sparta. But • domestic duty must remain her chief responsibility, As the Japanese aro a race tattachine greet importance to cleanliness, the wife must see that the house is daily attended to and kept scrupulously ir order; and that not a speck of dust is allowed to celled anywhere within the dwelling. "In accordance with the Japanese ha. bit of devotion there is in evenv home a little ,alter-slielf where the sp:rlte ol the ancestors receive daily homage. 13e. fore the ancestral tablets as well as be- fore the favorite gods of the family gifts of rico must be laid and prayers offered before the shrine. The wife must attend to these religious duties though all others fail. "Since the restoration some of these old ideas have become modified some. what, but the main principles of the eivilization remain. To -day the intellee- tual aid social atmosphere of the world is atteacting the women of Japan to an umesual degree. This change ha.s been effected chiefly through occidental phil- osophy and literature; and the Ideas oh some few of our women are becoming so westernized that they are beginning to discuss the independence of woman, and advocating the occidental custom of having the newly -married couple live In separate houses front the parents. Not only so, but the increasing tensity of the struggle for existence has Jed many women to seek employment in lotteries and offices and thus to aban- don home life altogether. Industrialism is thus bound to have an important ef. feet upon the futare of domestic life in Japan." "Aw, what yer hittin' of ma fe r P It wuz ne b;uditsr wct yer."

This new life—the life that has ,con- quered death by tasting it, which has enriched itself with a before unknown sympathy with men whose lives are forever tending towards the grave—this life stretches on and out forever. It ie to know no ending. So long as there are men living and dying, so long above them and around them there shall be the Christ, the Godonan, who liveth, and was dead and is alive evermore. As you sit thinking of manes frag- mentarinesse his certainty of death, his doubt about a future, let his voice some to you, a voice clear with personality, and sweet and strong with love: "r am He that liv,eth and was dead; and am alive for evermore." elle that livethl'e And at once your fragment of life falls into its place in the eternity of life that is bridged by His being. "Ile that was dead!" and at once death changes from the terrible end of life into a most mysterious, but no longer terrible, ex- perience of life. "He that is alive for evermore!" And not merely that there is it future buona the graver -but ie is inhabited by one who speaks to us, who went thereby the way that we must go, and who sees us and can help us as we make our way along, and will receive us when we come there—Phillip Brooks. DLSPLACDMENT. When a shin is launched tbere is a dis- placement, the water makes room tor the ship. You hold, an empty glass no your hand, you think it is empty, but it is not, it is full of air; you pour in water, the air goes out. Here is another displacement. Tho human persotality may be compared. to a ship. It is limitea in capacity; it is full 4f earthly stela stance, or heavenly. Other men than Emerson have discovered that the "Devil Is an east that the world is, foolish, and he that is captured by it is not wise." Others have looked over the walls of time, and have seen the land that is nob far off, and when these changes take place, there ie, a displatement, The world goes out, and the world to come comes in. This is true in initial stages'and in future experiences. We are exhorted to grow ingrate•'but how do men grow in this grace? Not, 115 a tree, or as an animal; rather is there displacemeae.
