A silly interpretation often leads 10 the uLlee rejection of it late. Sontfulen• lutists !have caused men of sense 10 1)1'00 nounce this an impractical rule, Yet We indoee IL every Wm ten utter the Lord's prayer, and stili we hope to le tcrglvon whether wo Iind it possible to forgive or not. If this law means the soft minded flabbiness that sends bou- •quets to bloody criminals and petitions the pardon of murderers and We release 01 the fees of humanity, we must reject it as the utterance of ono unacquainted with the rugged facts of Info. But torgit'eness and pardon aro Iwo •different dings; fcrelvouess is between man and man; pardon Is a mater of ,executive power. frau can forgive a .child and still punish hhn, The for- giveness that does away with conse- quences would make this an Immoral world. No greater wrong can be done 1n a man then to protect Mal from the .deserts of his evil deeds, This is as un- just as to withhold We rewards of the right. The difference between the taw of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth and the late of the Great Teacher Iles largely In the spirit of dealing with the -Offenses, The oict spirit eves that of GETTING EVEN with tate wrongdoer. His act was large- ly regarded from the personal stand- point; a crime was individual and not social. Revenge followed wrongdoing, But Jesus says it is better to lift a matt up than f.o get even with Wm. R is bet- ter to help men to the right Ibsen to sat- isfy your desire for revenge. Forgive - nese Is more than saying, "Go without punishment"1• rather it says, "Come learn n better way; live without sin." Forgive- ness takes malice from the mind of the offended; it substitutes for it the mo- tive of friendship for the offender. Revenge says, "f will matte it worse for you than you have made it for me." Sentimentalism says: "Let the poor vic- tim of etrcumstancos go; sand Mm a rosewatsr spray and an embrolderee text and he wun't do it again." But Iota, she of the cleur eye and the steady Mild, takes hen by the hand in silence, lifts hint up, and leads him, perhaps uy paths of pain, to his bolter self, Love puts his stns behind her back and teach- es him to foul hoe try, Love l lea the wrong tench its men, lesson, bear its awn fruit, and In her labor for hum sho forgets her own poln and loss caused by his offense. The best tray to forgive a burglar would not be to let him out of lall, end leech ;Ida the laws of property, trait him in the self respect that would lead to industry, to make idm a brothar and a follow -worker among men instead o! an outcast and A SOCIAL PARASITE. The test of any forglvemess is lis help- fulness, the manner In which It wipes nut We enmity of the victim and turns the guilty Into bettor ways. 'Many say, I can forgive, but I cannot forget. No one asks you to forget; hut you cannot fully forgive unless you will forego the feeling of enmity and the de- sire for revenge. You cannot make any one forget that which they have once known; but you can substitute helpful- ness for hatred and restoration for te. wage. True love simply discounts the last as a ground for present action; it refuses to.determine its personal bearing and deeds In to -day by the other's Ill deeds of yesterday. So far from forgiveness being the weakness of the thoughtless, it is the helpfulness of the strong and the wise. Tc forgive a man will not mean to es- cape from the trouble of securing his punlehment; It will not meat the weak complaisance of indolent tolerance. ;t well mean thought for his weal:noes, taking up his burden, doing the bro- ther's pert for him, the endeavor to do Ow him what we would like to have the Father of us all do for us ell. -Henry le Cope.

Collins, the Chicago chief of pollee. Ile was speaking of an In- genious swindle that hud been worked successfully on a dentist . "The oatmeal dodge," he continued, "was worked on a grocer in the suburbs. A man entered. the shop and engaged Ute grocer in con- versation. While they talked another mann came in. '"Do you sell oatmeal?" t he newcomer asked. '"Yes, sir," said tiro grocer, rubbing his hands. "Tic very best. now much—" 'Rut the man interrupted. "I just wattled to know,' the said. "Good day." And he walked out, 'The grocer, looking a little disap- pointed, resumed his conversation with the stranger. In a fete minutes a second maw appeared. "Do you sell oatmeal?" Ile asked. ` les," the grocer answered. "Thank you. Good day." `And this man also disappeared, -"Wali, what the deuce?" exclaimed Um grocer. "But, as we were saying,' he resumed, and the Interrupted con- versation wont briskly on, 'Soon a third man entered the strop. IIo said : Do you sell oatmeal?" "Yes," the grocer snapped, "`Thank yon. Good dal," 'And this man departed -on a run. For the grocer, thoroughly mogul .at last, had seized a club, and rushed upon Min. He had, however, a clean pat' of heels. The grocer was unable to over- take him. So, after a chase of a hun- dred yards or so, he returned _.breathl- loss. . ' He found the first man gone. Tho shop was empty.

The writer deals with some of the mts- conoepUons in regard to the disease which prevent lite authorities from adop- ting the preventive measures essential to the prevention of epidemics. He slates that there Is u change in smallpox from what IL used to be. 10 foi'rner epidemics the type of the disease was severe, pa- tients suffering severely (eon) the onset, which: was generally swan. Then during the few days inmhediately pre- ceding the annearanee of the rash there was headache, pains in the buck and limbs, with accompanying nausea and vomiting, often Incapacitating dank tram all work, With Inc cessation of these symptoms Um rash began to show Used hr a pronounced, manner upon the ex- posed peels, as face, neck, hands and wrists. The present form of .'e disease, says Dr. Hodgetts, in many cases shows but few pocks or pustules, and often their presence gives but litho inconven- Ince even when numerous, Th only sicikness complained of is before the on- set of the rash, 1110 secondary symp- toms being either vary slight or entirely absent. Tho persons attacked are often able to follow Moir usual ocupations throughout the whole progress of the disease. These misconceptions have ted the disease to be called chicken pox, Cuban itch, Phhtilpine rash, elephant's itch, Impetigo and contagivsa. MORE CASES IN WINTER. A few facts about the disease as a re- sult of the experience of the last flee yews. The maximum number O1 cases have occurred in January, and the mini- mum in We summer months, although the type presented no variation In cold weather, as compared with those cases happening in the heat of summer. The period of incubation is usually about 12 days from receiving the specific infec- tion. The cases have been numerous during the last new yea's where the 15 or 16 days have elapsed before the dis- ease developed itself. The quarantine peeled has in consequence been extended to 18 days, and in some States of the re- public to three weeks. SYMPTOMS OF DISEASE. ,Tho initial symptoms .of the disease are not of a serious character. Its appear- ance Is maid and insidious. The !test signals of its approach aro a headache and a backache, rccompanied by nausea and vomiting. The symptoms are more like those of la grippe than anything efso. The temperature goes up from 1001 to 102f., and the fever continues for from 24 to 72 hours, after which the temperature becomes normal. The erup- tion appears from a tow hours to 72 hours after • `the onset, and consists in the fret instance of minute red macules, which disappear on pressure. They are not hard to Use touch nor raised above the surface. Often within a few hours the maculae become papules, when the shotty feel is first noticeable. A fruitful source of the error of diagnosing the disease as ctricicen pox, is tbo misleading statement often made by the patient that the rash began as vesicles, whereas he should say that the eruption was first nulled] when veslctiatlon began. It takes from ono to three days for the rash to coma right out, the vesicles increas- ing in size. The change to the pustule sometimes begins as early as the fourth day, the rash on the face sometimes shrinking and drying up into thin crusts, and Is shed from the faco'and neck often as early as the tenth day. In other portions of the body and extremi- ties the course of lesions is prolonged. The average duration of this foram of smallpox is slightly undertypical 21 days. DIFFERENT FROM CHICKENPDX. Tho chief characteristics which dis- tinguish chlcicenpox from lite •present mild form of smallpox are given by Dr. I•lodgetls as follows: 1. Chickenpox is a disease ehteay confined to childhood, be- ing only occasionally seen in adults. 2. It rapidly runs its course ih a weak, passing through the stages of pimple, vesicle and scab, often within twenty- four hours after the first tppearanco of the muter rose spot the vesicle devel- ops. 8. sae premonitory symptoms are but slightly marked; indeed, are fre- quently wanting altogether, 4. Tho tem- perature accompanies or follows the ap• pea'ance of the rash, 5, The vesicles of chickenpox arc ovoid or irregular in ap- pearance, and attain thou nra:denum development utucih quicker than (10 Loose of smallpox, 6.

Mechanics and Shipwrights Have Gone to Germany and America. More then 1,000 Spaniards aro at pre- sent, and have been for same time past, engaged on British naval work in Gtb- ralfa( dockyard, says the London Ex- press. At the same time 5,000 workmen hove been dismissed from tomo dockyards, and the pick of them -skills: mechanics and shipwrights -have gone to Gerrnany and America, carrying with thein marry valunbie naval seercts. Since the Atlantic hent and the sec- ond eaand cruiser squadron were permanently eased at the Rock, the importance et this arsenal has Immeasurably increased. In corresponding degree' the withdraw- al of these two large forces from the annual refit list of the homy dockyards has substantially decreased the work of these establishments. This condition was one of the princi- pal' causes contributory to the wholesale discharges from the Royal Dockyards, which took place between March and October of last year. During this period more than 5,000 hands were discharged from Portsmouth, Devonport, Chatham, and Pembrolke. The result of this policy, which was omcieliy attributed to the economies rendered feasible by dockyard reform, has been to cause an unwonted degree of distress In the naval ports during the present winter. While -expressing-regret at stich a state cl affairs, the admiralty professed them selves unable to • and employment else- where for the men discharged. In the opinion of the naval expert, it would be interesting to learn how this policy is reconciled with the employment of the 3,000 Spaniards In Gibraltar dock- yard. The official plea that Spanish labor as cheaper than British latae is, according to this export, altogether unconvincing. in the present ease. "It is a source of distinct menace to our national Interests," he stated, "to permit 9,0110 foreigners daily to learn ali those secrets of naval administration and warship equipment which must neces- sarily be revealed in a big dockyard. "There Ise the further point that the bulk of dockyard labor is alined labor. 1' is difficult, to believe that, in what- ever departments they may be employer], these 3,000 Snenlards can be as office en/ as 3,000 British workers. "if the billets now filled by these foreigners 'had been given to the mon discharged tom the home dockyards during lestyear, an immense amount of undeserved hardship would have been spared. The comparatively small Increases in expenditure would have been adequate- ly. balanced by the enhanced eliicinecy of the Gibraltar base." IlOW 11191 WON THE CROSS.

To Clean Coat Collars. -A housekeeper who has tried gasoline with more or less effect, using a cloth and working hard to avoid leaving a dirty booking ring in place of the spot, invented a new method which worked perfectly. She took en old toothbrush and dipped into 1 he gas- oline. 'A few vigorous rubs and the spot departed as it by magic. This can be used on velvet as well as clout collars.

Of recent happenings in Russia's Bal- ite provinces a correspondent writes: - "Here le an instance of the Letts' daring and resource. Ono .day a revolutionist dressed in the uniform of a policeman rode after sunset into a village where the dragoons wore stationed, bringing news that at a village ten miles off the peasants had looted the police station and set the prisoners feed and were pre- paring to attack a neighboring country • seat. The officer at once gave orders to start, the disguised revolutionist of- fering to be their guide, but, instead of leading them to the village, ile led them Into a marsh, and suddenly disappear- ed from the eyes of the dragoons.

In order to remiss vagrancy and beg - gig,. aro Belgian Government !n 1i i e 1801' passed a law for tate establlsbmenl of d beggars' depots, houses of refuge, an reformatory schools. ' To the beggars' depots -at which the chief for men is 41 Merxplas, and for women at Bruges -- are sent all eoti(rmed, and habitual offenders. All other tramps aro sent elsewhere. DEALING WITH 5,000 A YEAR. In Belgium any person found- begging. in the streets, or in a condition of vagrancy, may be arrested and brought before a magistrate. if he Is able. -bodied and known to the pollee for his laziness, drunken, or immoral habits, and con- sistent mendicancy, • the magistrate Is empowered to send turn to a beggars' depot for a period 01 from two to seven Yeui:sOn, a first conviction the prisoner Is sent to a house of refuge for a period, less than a (Waled—mai, or until Ile shall havo earned .$3 by the wages paid him for Ids work In the colony. For a seoond offence and other serious eases the -prisoner may be sent straight away: to Merxplas 01'. some other depot. All cases are disposed of within, twenty-four (lours of arrest, and, save that tate Min- ster of Justice has 'power to liberate a Monist at any time on the report of the Ih'ecker of the colony that further de- tention is unnecessary, there is no hope for the convicted mendicant. For ordin- ary begging and vagrancy cases them is no appeal. Thus every year some 5,000 beggars are maintained at a cost of about 8250,000, which is shored la equal parts by •the State, •the province, and the commune In which each innate nt the various depots has a settlement. EMPLOYMENT THEY KNOW BEST. Tile bulk of the inmates et Merxplas are habitual vagabonds and men gene unity unable to support themselves, 1110 rest baing mostly those who are con- sidered a danger to the community. These latter have special quartet's, which • they are.not allowed to leave, and'spe- clal work to perform under careful supervision. All tine Inmates have al- lotted tasks to do, but those under. twenty-one years of age spend certain hours at school which otherwise they would spend he labor. As far as possible the vagrants are employed In the occupation of which they know most. 01 the 5,000 inmates, about 1,000 work. upon the farm as laborers, natndes, foresters, and drovers; nearly 1,000 are employed in domestic service, such as attendants, • cleaners, porters, orderlies, potato peel - ors, cooks, and laundry -men; while the rest are engaged in upwards of fitly different industries, of which brickmak- ing, mending and darning, and mat - making ompioy the most. Al the Wortei douse of. Refuge men aro detained for no longer than a year, except at their own request. Though every inmate must work for an average of nine hours daily at some agricultural or industrial pursuit, disciplhe here ds not nearly so strict, and, as a last re- source, many unemployed workmen cone and stay in the colony till the per- iod of trade depression has passed. HOLLAND HAS COLONUsa. Holland provides ethree principal colo- nies for the habitual tramp and mendi- cant. Those et Veenhufzen and Hoorn • are for men, and that al Leiden for women. --Three districts, each conlafn- Ing about 1,200 colonists, comprise the usual population at Veenhufzen, the big- gest of the colonies. All the inmates have been convicted of begging, the majority being conllrmrtd beggars and notoriously lazy and Irresponsible. Altogether, the method of administra- tion is similar to that cif Merxplas, in Belgium, and like the imnates of that colony, they receive an allowance for wages and the unexpended balance et hAe gacoiulnleosun reeyhave earned upon leaving forestry, and gardening ptmvidc the main sources of 001p10y- meat, while the remainder of the colon- ists work in the weaving, smithy, and carpentering shops, or are engaged •fo the molting of clouting, furniture, and other erlicles for domestic use. Only beggars are confined at Veenhufzen, but habitual drunkards aro admitted •10 the colonies at Hoorn and Leiden. • A large proportion of the inmates of the numerous. German labor colonies: and relief stnttnns, really established for the benefit of unemployed workman, belong to the .beggar, tramp, and crbnt' nal classes. In Germany it is lite ditty of the pollee • - to provide every homeless person with temporary relief. In •sone cases, the police merely bond the applicant a few. pence and hid him GO TO THE NEXT TOWN, . In others they make him work for a couple of days in a stone -yard.

Two-thirds of its 2,000 inmates' are vagrants and beggars. In tact, in all parls.ot Germany begging is suppressed with a stern hand, and, though the mart .... artful mendicants may for a time obtain at existence by passing from 0n0.labor calmly or relief elation to another, they eventually fall Into, the hands 0f the police, and are confined to a•poilal ooi' an,l' fthr a longlhy ped, 1n Switzem'land, Vanerioarc 110 0(1100105 actually set aside for the beggar and metro!, but lheso aro admitted to the inbtir colonies at 'lhxesv, hof, hi the Marne Canton, and at Iloi'clern fn e Thurgau Canton, with the Weldablet iei• lamina of returning tient, and of re- filling ureal morally and Materially, as desirable citizens.
