One day recently ho noticed that

.bright with the colors of sumo oh

vellum and Illuminated, Each wor
had been written by hand and each
initial was glorious with gold an
:blue, crimson and black. The mama
was a marvelous doeiga, with. in
wrought leavos and flowers. Cherubs
gaimbed up tho sido of the meneh
as beautiful as angels that dreo
near the heavenly battlements to
look down on the sleeping boy Jaciale.
The genius of a great mantra (lam
•ed forth from that illuminated page
The treasuro had tested in its haling
place for perhaps 300 years. From
tho aloment of its exhibit, art lovers,
collectors of old prints, rare books
and. the great =Moos began to coin
pate for the page. So beautifill is
that itinminated sheet that to -day it
lends distraction to a room in tho
.gallery of
Trial PALACE IN FLORENCE.
What an illuminated pao of God
is this spread out for all beholdere
on the slopes ol these Berkshire
Hills. This page of green and gold
is ten miles square and holds such
beauty as to make tho missal of Bel -
Hid seem petty and contemptiblo.
'That Morelli:hie sheet is 10 by 12
inches. This page of landscapo is Loa
miles by tacave. Ills canvas is of
vellum, demi and moldy, but this
pago of Nature is a canvas whose
texture is alive, moist, perfumed and
melodious. Tho decorated margin of
tho old missal is but two and, one-
half inches wide, and many of tho
Rowers of Bellini seems stitr. But the
frame and setting of this page of Na-
turo is a quarter of a mile wide, is
sPotted with scarlet and flie, gulden
with buttercups, glorious with dais-
ies and wild pinks; with clover of
purple and white and the splash ..of
poppy, with shades of amethysa and
sapphire, on the horizon where earth
. and sky meet, that represont colors
so delicious that ono finds no words
in the languago to describe them.
Little wonder, therefore. that Rus-
kin describes the mouatainside as a
library full of treasures, of manu-
scripts for the scholar, kindly and
simple lessons for the worker, quiet
in pale cloisters for the thinker,
glorious in holiness for tho wor-
shiper.'

&Ms! But theso Berkshiro Hills are
our cathedrals, protector' by gates
of rock and glorious with pavements
of clouds, choirs of stream and stone,
altars of storm, and vaults of purple,
travorsed by tho continuous state.
The illuminated page of -Nature is a
page that is wise with its tracery
Inc the scholars, It is not enough
that God's work is beautiful, that
his Overy blade of grass is flut.od;
that all his loaves aro exquisitely
sculptuved; that his every sapphire
and ruby is polished to the inner-
most atom and that the bounty of
loveliness is in flowor and face and
landscape -such bounty, indeed, that
tho surplus of loveliness in each haro-
bell would adorn, as has been said
A DOZEN CATHEDRALS.
But tho page of rock and grass and
limier is a. wise page. Indoed, all
the wisdom of the books moos from
the' reading of nature's book. Job
said; "His footprints are in tho
cloud e and on the sea shore, and in

Chrone xxxiii., 20-25 and 9 • Kings

short it is ofaspecial interest to us,
since his name occurs in tho genea-

UM ancestry of cow Lord also (Matt.
i., 10). It is also mentioned in con-
nection with his son Josiah in Joe.

During his short reign, Amon tement-

IS CANCER INF1.1CTIOUS?
Tho report submitted to the moot-
ing of the Research Fund contains
the statement that "cancer" is not
caused by a parasite entering the
body from without." Concerning
this point a well-known pathologist
who has boon engage1 in concur re-
search at a London hospital orites:
"This is certainly tho inost impor-
tant statement made in the report,
investigators thereby abandooing tho
parasitic theory of cancer.
"Until definitely proved this state-
ment alilmars to have been made on
insufficient grounds; and thero are
many who maintain (and not with-
out rensons) that cancer is an infec-
tious disease, and that tho changes
in the cancer colls may bo due to a
virus enterin5 the body from with-
out, which our present-day mothods
of research are inadequate to dis-
cover. in smallpox and hydrophobia
which aro undoubtedly infectious dis-
eases, the virus is as yet unknown,
though its existence is highly pro-
bable.
INVESTIGATION OF ORIGIN.
"The committoe state that future
work must be directed 1,0 ascertain-
ing why eancer • arises `de novo' in
'each individual attacked by tho dis-
ease. Wo must discover what causes
the culls to proliferate. Is it an in-
herent property of the cells them-
selves, or Is it some exulting agent
from without, such as a microbe? If
cancer is infectious, and there aro,
50010 (10508 that suggest thisits in-.
fectivity must be of a very low or-
der. Nevertheless, until 100 know
how cancer arises it would be safor
to regard it as infective.
"Irritation seems to play an im-
portant part In tho cruise of tho dis-
ease, as it does in so many other dis-
eases, by lowering the local • resist-
ance of the tissues. Cancer of the
Hp often arises in those who smoke
a clay pipe, cancer of the tongue in
thoso who have a jagged tooth, and
many other similar instances might
be cited
"The qUestion of the treatment
still remains a surgical onto eat•ly
and free removal of the growth with

of combating the disease."

an aristocratic marriages ham is
seldom even taken into considera-
tion. It is purely a question of con -
volition, of decortun, of mutual con-
venience.
Among the middle ot• bourgeois
olasses marriage is principally e.
question of pounds, shillings and
pence. A manufacturer, a lawyer, an
official, an officer or a merchant
looks forward in contracting a mar-
riage to folding in the shape of his
wife's dowry value corresponding to
tho position he holds or the annual
income ho derives from his profes-
sion or business.
One of the first cares of a French
father is to provide a dowry for
each 01 1918 daughters, and according
to the value of the dowry he can
command a more or 'loss suitable
husband for his daughter. The larger
the dowry the more exacting will
he become 115 to the status of a pos-
sible son-in-law.
Such marriages are nearly al-
ways arranged by the paronts or
near relatives on both Wales. Tho
young Frenchman who decides it is
time to marry seldom fixes his
choice on any particular girl. Ile
allows his relatives to look around
for him. Ilo .manages to obtain, by
various well known artifices, a VieW

him as a suitable "parti," and if
she is sufaclently presentahlb to

the marriage takes place. The girl,
it will ho soon, has scarcely been con-
sulted, but such is the manner of
her bringing up that she is gen-
erally quite content to leave matei-
monial matters in the hands of her
father and to accept the husband ha
bas selected for her.
In France hasty marriages, long
engagements and breaches of promiso
are practically unknown.
Tho desire to obtain a quid pro
quo in marriage extends even to the
working classes. A small peasant
farmor who is tho proprietor of five
acres of land and ten cows would
consaler he had made an extremely
bargaiti if he wore obliged to
starry his son to tho daughter of a.
min who owned but three acres and
siAt cows.
Nevertheless, it is a romaekable
act that the proportion of 011110555
French marriages is comparatively
smalt. The natural bent of the 00 -
French woman is to become
