t His theory of the matter is that
minds spiritually en rapport may
influence each other even uncon-
sciously, like the separate receiv-
ing stations of Marconi's wireless
tt•legraph apparatus.
Quite true, but there is more in
i( even than that : there is the mind
behind all, and the divine love that
vibrates between soul and soul in
lcsponse to the call of human need,
like the ether that carries the elec-
tric force from point to point in
the visible universe. I see from

"31ATCSUK.1 1 0I.C.t,"
Melody of Sorrow and rarest
Heard iu Prison and l'nlaee.
There is an air so popular in Itus-
sin, that it is even more familiar
than their national anthem to the
people of that great mysterious
empire. 1 have heard it in all parts
of the Czar's dominions, from the
Baltic Sea to Bering Strait and
from Archangel to the Caspian ; in
the glittering palaces of Petersburg
and in foul prison dens of Siberia,
say
•s the Travel.
el.
It is a simple melody in the minor
key, suggestive, like most Slav
music, of sorrow and unrest, and
it is called ''Matushka," or "Mo-
ther Volga." as for some cryptic rea-
son every Russian, he he noble or
Nihilist, is taught from childhood
to regard this great river in the
light of a maternal relative. Yet
the river is full of sad associations,
lfor convicts formerly travelled a
portion of the journey to Siberia
along its broad, sluggish stream.
I can never forget the haunting
sweetness of "Matushka Volga" as
i heard it sung on a prison barge
one quiet summer evening by a
party of fettered politicals banished
to the greet lone land of exile. For
"Mother Volga" was their last link
%dill home and the loved ones they
might never meet again.

SOME I'iRESERViNG "DONT'S,•'
Don't make a mistake and wait
until the special fruit in season is
nearly over and then pay the high-
est prices for it.
Don't think overripe, soft fruit
metes% good pt•eeei•ves or jellies.
I►..n't ever eke ¶ling but the
Lust materials fo results.
Don't use what is ealleu "A," or
''soft" white sugar or brown ; use
granulated white sugar fur all ',re-
serves ur jellies.
Don't use granulated sugar for
spiced fruit ; use light brown only.
Don't make spiced fruit too
sweet; four pounds of light brown
sugar to seven pounds of fruit is a
good proportion.
Don't use an over abundance of
spices -too much makes it taste
hitter.
Don't cover preserves or jellies
w..ile cooking. They arc apt to
boil over.
Don't use cold sugar for jellies;
measured the strained fruit juice;
to each pint allow one pound of the
best granulated sugar, put it on
a platter in a warm oven to heat,
and add it to boiling liquid.
Don't put hot preserves in cold
glasses or jars and nut expect ac-
cidents; have the glasses or jars
in scalding water, rinse well, then
fill as quickly as possible.
Don't allow preserves to stand
about after they are cold; put melt-
ed parafin on cover with lids, wash
off every trace of stickiness, and
put in cool, dark place for future
use.
Don't allow preserves to cook
:,ver a hot fire and not expect thein
to stick and scorch.
Don't let them cook without stir-
ring, even when the fire is slow.
Don't cook preserves on a. gas
range without an asbestos mat.
Don't use a steel knife to pare
fruit with; use a silver knife.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
When cooking mushrooms, if you
are at all doubtful of their being
;ood, while stewing thein leave a
silver spoon in the stew -pan. 1f it
keeps its color they are all right,
tout if it turns black they are not fit
to use.
Choking is a form of danger that
requires prompt action. If baby
has swallowed a fishbone and is in
danger of choking, use your fore-
finger in the form of a hook, and
even at the risk of considerable
pain relieve the little sufferer.
Hero is an easy and capital
method of softening butter when it
has become hard with frosty
weather. Rinse a bowl with boil-
ing water and cover Inc butter with
it. Don't dry the bowl, as the
,team softens the butter. This
method has no waste, as in molting
butter before the fire.
A baby should double its weight
in six months and treble it. in a
year, provided it is a healthy child
and its nutrition is in every way
satisfactory. If a child does not in-
crease at the rate of 11b. a month
during the first year of life, and
12oz. a month during the second
year, its nutrition is not satisfac-
tory.

Future Historic 'Treasure Locked

The plate -room at Marlborough
..,,use contains one of the must
valuable collections of treasures,
gut together by King Edward, in
all England. It is an underground
room, fight( el with electricity. The
walls are lined with bookcases fill-
ed with rare volumes of incalculable
value. In the centre are large iron
safes packed with magnificent gold
and silver plate. Here are two
giant silver pilgrim bottles present-
ed by Alexander ill of Russia to
King Edward, and a priceless solid
gold embossed shield which he re-
ceived from a number of Indian
princes. Another most interesting
collection of the King's consists of
relics gathered together from every
war in which Itt itish soldiers have
taken part since the accession of
Queen Victoria. One of the mem-
entoes of the South African war,
and one which the late Queen great-
ly appreciate, is it cushion worked
by a hospital nurse with scraps of

wounded heroes. It is a wonder-

Thessaloniea.- Vs. 1-9. 1. Now
when they. Paul, Silas, and 'Timo-
thy. 1)riten front Philippi the mis-
sionaries traveled euuthwest along
the great, military rood which led
towards Howe; at the eid of 33
miles they puesed through Amphi-
polis, near the shores ; then travel-
ing 30 miles more, they came to
.ipo1lonia. As these were cities of
little importance, and did nut con-
tain a synagogue as it basis of pro-
pagating the gospel. Panel did not
spend any time in them, but hast-

salonica on the gulf of Salonica in
Macedonia about ono hunched
miles from Philippi.
Paul's Four Methods of Teaching
the Bible. 1. Discussion. He
reasoned with them out of the
scriptures (v. 2). Ile based his rea-
soning on the true facts which they
accepted, and then discussed with
them the question whether the pro-
phecies were not fulfilled in Jesus
as the Messiah. The Greek word is
almost letter for letter our word
"dialogue." The method was more
like that of our Bible classes than
of our preaching. Discussion for
the sake of seeing the truth from
all sides is one of the best means of
learning the truth. Often the dis-
cussion must be in our own minds
as the arena.
2. Opening the Scriptures (v. 3).
Unfolding the Scripture truths,
pointing out to them the things they
had not noticed, or applications
which they had not understood.
Paul was to thein like an expert
who points out to the poor owner
of a rocky farm the rich mines of
gold and silver beneath the sur-
face; or opens to the possessor of
a common pasture the oil wells
which are of more value than mines
of silver. Science is continually
opening the common things of
life and finding in them greater
treasure than the "Open, Sesame"
in the Arabian Nights.
3. Comparing Scripture with
Scripture and with facts. 3. Al-
leging. The Greek word clues not
imply "assertion," as in our mod-
ern use of "allege" (thought not in
the older English usage), but
means "setting beside" "setting
out, arguments." Paul set, beside
the promises in the Old Testament
the feeds of Jesus' life and teach-
ings, as we place a person beside
his photograph, or his description,
and showed that Jesus fulfilled
every promise on which they based
their ideas and their hopes of a
Messiah deliverer. Especially did
hp show that the Christ, i.e., the
Messiah, must needs have suffered,
for so Was the Messiah described in
their Scriptures. This description
was one of the great difficulties in
the Jewish mind. it seemed impos-
sible that the victorious king, who
was to reign furever, the Wonder-
ful, the Counsellor, the Eterlasting
Father, the Prince of Peace, whose
kingdom was an everlasting king-
dom, including all nations, could
be an humble teacher who died on
tho cross. But Paul showed them
that only by suffering could the
Messiah save from sin, and that by
his having risen again from the
dead, Jesus 18 a living and glori-
ous king. Therefore this Jesus,
whom I preached unto you is (the)
Christ.

may have gone to Berea on account
of its seclusion. As usual they went
to the synagogue, where they were
doubtless introduced by their es-
cort of Christian Jews who left
them at this, point. They went away
(as the Greek implies) from their
escort into the synagogue.
Those were more noble in moral
character, in mental and spiritual
qualities. This nobility expressed
itself (1) in that they received tho
word with all readiness of mind.
Their minds were open to all truth
from every source. They were not
afraid of it because it was new.
(2) In that they . . . searched, a
thorough examination, up from bot-
tom to top through a series of
objects or pin -Oculars; to investi-
gate, as n judge in a court sifts the
evidence, the scriptures, where the
evidence oI the Messiahship of Jesus
was to be found, by comparing the
Scriptures with the facts Paul
presented. They slid not take things
by hearsay, but sought the truth
for themseltes.
The result was that many of
them (the Jews) believed. Of the
Greeks. many honourable women,
wiles e.f the chief cititene. and of
men, not a few.

WiI.AT IS THE CAUSE?
Do Earth 'Tides Throw Over Fac-
tory Chimneys.
Beyond waking the entire neigh-
borhood, and blocking the railway
line for several hours, the huge
chimney, three hundred feet high,
which fell so unaccountably near
Glasgow, recently, did uo particu-
lar damage.
Such, however, has not always
been the case with other similar oc-
currences in the past. ¶hese tall
.structures have a knack of col-
lapsing without a moment's warn-
ing, and frequently with the most
frightful results to life and limb.
For example, at Cleckheaton,
Yorkshire, in 1892, a mill chimney,
that was deemed to be as solid and
safe as any in England, suddenly
toppled over and killed fifteen peo-
ple. A similar mishap near Lyons,
Prance, lately, equally inexplicable,
resulted in a store of deaths. In
the Pennsylvania anthracite region,
not long since, a colliery chimney,
that had been examined and pro-
nounced perfectly stable only a
short while previously, fell across
the mouth of a shaft, with the re-
sult that thirty-three miners work-
ing below were imprisoned and suf-
focated.
Even more dreadful results fol -
le wed the mysterious collapse of the
New Lands Mills chimney at Brad-
ford, England, during Christmas
week, leS2. No expense had been
sparred in its construction. The
materials used were admittedly the
best that storey could buy. Yet
it came down like a child's house
of cards ; falling, a thousand tons
of dead weight, right athwart the
crowded factory builuings.
Moro than 250 wounded were ex-
tricated from the ruins, together
rith 54 dead bodies. It was the
worst catastrophe Bradford had
ever known, and no pains were
*pared to elucidate tho cause of
il. But in vain.
Now, however, in view of the re-
cent
o-cent discovery of earth tides, en-
gineers are beginning to see a light.
Investigations, carried out w Oh
scientific intsruments of an extreme
delicacy, have shown that the
earth's crust, so far from being im-
mobile, as had always been sup-
posed, rises and falls over eight
inches once daily. May not this
movement, it is asked, be respon-
sible for the collapse of these slen-
der, eolluw shafts?
