The way takes us to Him who said, "I am the way," whose name May bo set in each of the jeweled places where love is named. Chapter 18. Verse 1. Tongues- Cles,rly languages in the usual sense. This passage is. enough to disprove the conception of mere abracadabra which some scholars have found in the "tongues" of this epistle. The meaning is identical with that of the Pentecost story. The after -thought and of angels merely heightens the -note of scorn, and need not be pro- saically interpreted. Else we might say that the "angels" or "princes' of of the nations in Daniel might he sup- posed to speak the languages of their peoples, as well as the one language of the heavenly world. Cymbal - Specially used in the orgiastic wor- ship of Cybele, characteristic of Asia Minor. 2. Mysteries -There is more than a half reference to bhe sham mysteries the people of "Knowledge" were al- ways professing to have fathomed, to the scorn of plain folks who coul)i not see below the surface of a stone wall Knowledge, or rather insight (gnosis, whence carne bhe later name gnostic), was the special boast of these clever people, to whom Paul at tributed "the falsely named know- ledge" (1 Tim. 6. 20). In its full development it answers exactly to the , always foolish and often foul stuff j now called theosophy. But Paul's ' words 'would still be true if the "my- steries" and "insight" were true and divine; even the deepest theology is futile without love. "The heart makes the theologian." Remove mountains -The phrase. of course, suggests Matt. 17. 20, but it may have been proverbial. The question might be asked how such faith is possible in a loveless man -a question often recurring in these verses. Paul does nob say it is: he is only isolating these graces for comparison. 8. All nay goods -The rich young I ruler was told that for doing this he I Would have treasure in heaven. A good illustration of the danger of !prosaic literalness in interpretation! ITo be burned -The marginal reading, ithat I may glory, differing only in a I single letter, is rather better attested. But the point seems rather to demand a heightening of the sacrifice than. a scornful belittling of it. Both read- ings are well illustrated by the farn- ens story of the philosopher ". . . who to be deemed A good leaped fondly into Etnaliames, Empedocles." 4.

Puffed up -A favor- ite word of PauL Compare 1 Cor. 8. 1, which we might colloquially render, "Insight" gives swelled head, it is love that builds up." 5. Unseemly -Perhaps the leading thought is of the pitiful exhibition self -assertiveness often makes. Love never loses dignity when. she stoops to the lowest service -how supremely regal was Jesus washing the feet of the twelve! The adjective answer- ing as opposite to the word here is the usual Greek word for a 'gentle- man" (as M Acts 17. 12). Provoked -The corresponding noun is rendered "sharp contention" in Acts 15. 39. So at least once Paul himself "walked not in love" -he was human! .akete.: not account -A conunercial word. Love's ledger has no debit side. 6. The Antithesis of this is seen in Rome. 1. 82. 7. Covereth all things (margin) is suggested by the great declaration that love "covers a multitude of eins" (1 Pet. 4. 8), where, however, the word used is different. We must rather go back to 1 Cor. 9. 12.: love puts up with insults and injuries, Be- lieveth all things -The words might be misinterpreted of sheer good-na- tured credulity; hence the turn given in the paraphrase above. 8. "Aye, and when prophecy her tale hath finished, Knowledge hath withered from the trembling tongue. Love shall survive, mei love be undiminished. Love be imperishable, love be young."

Paul's figure reminds us of Plato's famous allegory of the cave- men confined in a cave with their backs to the entrance, and knowing the external world only through the shadows cast on the inner wall. Even so men try to read the "Riddle of the Umverse," anti fail the more egregi- ously as they show more confidence in their powers. Shall I know fully - The Greek verb is a compound as , against the simple form in I know I [learn, come to know] in part. But the rendering "know fully" is now dis- proved; the compound verb deals with particular Idowledge, the simple with knowledge in general. Ib was known -By God. 13.

The real distinction is that they belong to the creature, while love belongs also to the creator.

In the "good old days" extraordin- ary wagers were more common than they are to -day. In 1670, for instance, Lord Digby staked fifty pounds that he would walk five miles round New- market Heath in a certain time, bare- footed and stark naked, and had the misfortune of losing by tha narrow margin of half a minute, the Ring and the Court being witnesses of the per- formance, says London Answers. In the latter half of the eighteenth century a Liverpool scientist bet a brothel. scientist that he would read a newspaper by the light of a farth- ing dip at a distance of thirty feet. The wager was cheerfully accepted. The first scientist merely coated the inside of a shallow wooden box with sloping pieces of looking -glass, so as to form a concave lens, placed it be- hind his farthing dip, and easily read the small print at the distance named. The winning of the wager was wit- nessed by a Liverpool dockmaster, who ultimately applied the idea to light- house requirements, and evolved the modern reflected light. About two years ago, during a yachting trip of members of the Mer- sey Docks and Harbor Board, Mr. A. W. Willmer, a leading Liverpool cot- ton -broker, was presented with a pair of wooden shoes for his birthday, and another member of the Board offered to contribute a sum of money to two charities if Mr. Williner would go to the Cotton Exchange wearing them. Por sweet charity's sake, Mr. Willmer appeared on 'Change wearing the wooden shoes, and the stakes were handed over to him. Perhaps the limit was reached in a certain town in Canada, where a man propelled a green pea with a tooth- pick for about eighty yards along the pavement within half an hour of the stipulated time, and won his wager.

Three to Six Persons Share Loaf of 2 1-5 Pounds, A story of the tremendous hardships now being undergone by the Turkish people and an estimate of the enorm- ous losses which have been suffered by the Turks has been received from the Rev. Charles T. Riggs, for the past sixteen years a missionary at Con- stantinople, Turkey. Mr. Riggs, who is editor of The Orient. has recently returned from Turkey after a hazard - 0113 journey. According to Mr. Riggs, the Turks estimate that their minimum loss in the Dardanelles campaign was 300,000 and the number of killed is some- times placed at 600,000. The Govern- ment allotment of bread which is the Iprincipal food of the Turks, Mr. Riggs states, is almost on a starvation ba- sis, from three to six persons fre- quently sharing a loaf of two and one- fifth pounds. Conditions are steadily becoming worse, it is stated. Says Mr. Riggs in part: 'Morning by morning in Constantinople, around the different bakeries of the city, gathers a crowd of women and chil- dren, with a sprinkling of old men whose official papers prove their right to secure a daily stipend of bread from that particular oven, They often wait for hours and the supply of flour has become so short that when ; the bread finally comes each loaf of two and a fifth pounds must be shared by from three to six persons. Most natives of Turkey live mainly on bread and with other staples from five to fifteen times their normal price it is small wonder that the poor are starving. The people have tried sev- eral substitutes for wheat flour, among them rye bread, corn bread and barley bread, but these have been ob- tained only in very small quantities. "It is a sad picture to see the ma- terial from which the Turkish army is now being made. Long lines of young men with bovine eyes, shuffling gait and an expression of utter apathy are daily being brought into the city from the Anatolian provinces to be made into soldiers. Shod with san- dals, coatless, with homespun shirt flapping outside their ono white nether garments, they look as unpro- mising material as one could imagine. In these days the recruits include boys of seventeen and men of fifty- five and among them are the half - blind, the sick and the crippled. After a fesv weeks of drill they make a far better impression as they march away in their smart new German imported accoutrements to entrain for the East." CARGO MADE RATS WEEP. Sat Round Sacks of Onions and Wiped Tears From Their Eyes. The French steamship Ville du Havre, arrived in New York harbor recently from Gandia, Spain, bringing 1,600 tons of Spanish onions. The odor from the fosehold was. so power. ful, it was said, that the crew in the fo'c'sle were in tears all the voyage, and were forced to sleep on deck. When the customs inspectors went into the fo'c'sle to see if the men had any tobacco or cigars concealed in their bunks, the heat and the onione combined drove them out for air, Old Jules Bibot, the quartermaster, declared that when he went down in- to the forehold to get up a coil of rope, he saw hundreds of rats sitting in a circle around the sacks of onione, wiping the tears from their beady black eyes with their paws, which was quite pathetic, old Jules said, Electricity, as a street was introduced to Canada nt the Can adian National Exhibition in 1882. IT IS A COMMON CHILD DISEASE IS INFANTILE PARALYSIS, SAY PHYSICIANS. Adults Are Immune Because They Had It and Did Not Know It, There are probably a few adults who didn't have infantile paralysis when young -a very few -Dr, G. Wilse Robinson and Dr. II. E. Pearse, acting surgeon in Kansas City of the 'United States Public Health Service, say medical science believes. That's the reason adults "can't have it" - they had it when babies and nobody knew it. Mild Cases Like Colds. Many imperfectly developed cases of infantile paralysis occur without any paralysis. The child will have la grippe, a fever, its bones will ache and it will suffer with constipation. Then after a few days it will recover and forever be immune from the par- alysis,which, when severe, themay de- form little body if it does not kni Horror of Paralysis. "It's the horror of paralysis which makes persons fear the disease so much," Doctor Robinson says. "Half of the cases don't develop paralysis. In the mild cases there may be some irritation of the spinal cord or weaken- ing and soreness of muscles, but the paralysis doesn'e creep up toward the base of the brain high enough to stop respiration. "The danger is in its distribution by other members of the family. There may be one mild case in a family of twelve, and each of those twelve may carry the germ of the disease in their throats and scatter it broadcast. A severe case may re- sult in this way from a mild one." Attack May Be Rapid. While about half of the cases are so mild no paralysis develops, the disease is so severe when at its worst that no chances of spreading the germs should be taken. Even in! cases suffering with paralysis 20 per cent. recover completely. In others celluloid splints are used to prevent deformities and the child is able to walk, probably within a year. Some it leaves unable to move around with- aut braces, and with bodies crooked. And its attack may be so rapid that a child well the night before may be found with high fever and even with paralysis in the morning. Childhood Disease. "It's just a common childhood dis- ease," Doctor Robinson says. "Medi- cine is no preventive. Just keep the baby away from insects which bite and don't let it fondle pet dogs, cats and other animals too much. Keep the baby's nose and throat clean. The virus enters through the nose and throat. Keep the teeth clean. A 1 per cent. solution of hydrogen peroxide is good to use in irrigating the threat. Give the baby clean food and especial- ly keep away from public drinking cups." "Let nature take its course," Doc- tor Pearse says. "Keep the baby clean and cool and away from in- sects." And there's no use worrying. Prac- tically every adult alive to -day had the disease in youth, many doctors who have studied the paralysis be- lieve. A SOAP FAMINE. Every Country Is Increasing Its De- mands for the Article. The increasing demand for soap throughout the civilized world raises the question of a possible famine in that commodity. The world's increasing cleanliness presents a weird problem to those who deal in soap. The average yearly consumption of soap for every person in Britain is estimated to be as much as 211b. America comes next, and other Eu- ropean countries use less and less un- til one comes to P,ussia'with 21b. a year consumption per head. But the trouble seems to be that we are all increasing our demands for soap, This advance is illustrated by avail- able figures proving that while in 1900 the Bulgarians, for instance, bought 315,000 kilogrammes of soap, in 1011 they imported 2,1.38,000 kilogrammes. In 1900 Britain exported 48,630 tons of soap. In 1910, 74,712 tons were exported. To China we send about 6,620 tons a year; to South Africa, 6,311 tons; to the East Indies, 14,806 tons; to other British possessions, 17,767 tons; and to other countries, 21,864 tons. -Lon- don Answers, FROM SUNSET COAST WHAT THE WESTERN FEOPIeli ARE DOING.

FARM HOME CONVENIENCES. Needed Improvements to Make the Rural Home Attractive. At the last annual meeting of the Commission of Conservation a report of a survey conducted on 400 farms during 1915 was presented. Some in- teresting data were secured respecting • conditions in many rural homes. Keeping- the young people on the farm is one of Canada's national pro- blems. Many causes have been sug- gested for the yearning for the city. The conveniences of the city home con- stitute one of the chief attractions. Notwithstanding this, however, very few farmers have introduced these conveniences into their home'es• Of the 400 farmers visited, 53 per cent have young people in their fami- lies. With this large percentage of young people it is a regrettable fact that only two farmers out of every hundred have bathrooms in their homes. Only 6.2 per cent. have water closets, only 2.5 per cent. have a com- plete service, and only 2.2 per cent. have electric light. In these 400 homes coilsr 16.5 per cent. have the water piped to the house, and but 17,5 per cent. have furnaces in the home. These conditions are entirely within the con- trol of the farmers, 86.7 per cent. of whom are the owners of farms aver- aging 126.5 acres. In contrast with the foregoing the conveniences which have been supplied' by the government and public utility companies and of which the farmer has availed himself stand out promin- ently. The Post Office Department has carried to 76 per cent, of those 400 farmers rural free mail delivery, al- lowing 77 per cent. of them to be sup. plied with daily newspapers, while 53.2 per cent, have the convenience of a telephone. Only 2.5 per cont. have complete sanitary. service in their home, while 5 per cent. have automobiles, and 31.5 • per cent. have either automobiles er horse and buggy for the young peo- ple. Much has been said and written of. late to interest the farmer in the auto. mobile, but 'little is heard of such household conveniences AS the bath tub, kitchen sink, sanitary closet, etc& The autiomobile may carry the rural' hotisewife away from her drudgery for a few hairs a week, and to that extent proves a blessing, but the" price of an automobile would provide a water supply and other convenience that go with it, and render the home a home both to the housewife and the young people.
