OF
FORGYVENESS
Forego the Feeling of Enmity and
the Desire for Revenge.
Forgive and yo shall be forgiven. -
Luke vi., 37.
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

THE OATMEAL DODGE.
"It reminds me of the oatmeal dodge,'
said John M. 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

'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. .

shop was empty. So was the till
'Once mora the oatmeal dodge had

SYMPTOMS OF SMALLPDX
MORE DREAD OF TIRE DISEASII THAN
ANY O'I'ILER,
Dr, Cladgelles Exhaustive Report on the
Subject -•Typo Inas oosome
Mild,
Dr, Charles A, Ilodgotls, secretary ot
the Ontario Board of health, bus issued
a pamphlet containing a elinlcat Cowden
tion of ,smallpox with twenty illustra-
tions, showing patleuts with We disease
in various stages,
TYPE HAS CHANGED.
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

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

pearance, and attain thou nra:denum

BRITISH NAVAL SECRETS.
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."

"Here le an instance of the Letts' daring

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

to start, the disguised revolutionist of-

leading them to the village, ile led them

In order to remiss vagrancy and beg -

1i i e 1801'
passed a law for tate establlsbmenl of
d

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

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
