• A cold, if neglected, will sooner or later
develop into some sort of lung trouble,
• so we woulkt advise you, tlaat on the first
sign of a cold or cough you get rid of it
immediately. ror this purpose we know
of nothing better tha.ti Dr. Wood's
Norway Pine Symp. This preparation
has been on. the market for the past
twenty-five years, and those who have
used it have nothing bat words of praise
for its efficacy.
Mrs II, N. Gill, Truro, N.S., writes:
"Last January, 1913, I developed an
awful cold, and it hung on to me for so
long I was afraid it would turn into
consumption. I would go to bed nights,.
and could not get any sleep at all for the
choking feeling in my throat and lungs,
and sometimes I would cough till I
would turn black in the face. A friend
came to see ine, an.d told me of your
remedy, Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup.
I got a bottle of it, and after I had taken
it I could see a great change for the better,
so I got another, and when I had taken
the two bottles my cough was all gone,
and I have never had an attack of it since,
a.nd that is now a year ago."
Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup is put
up in a yellow wrapper; three pine trees
the trade mark; and price, 25c and 50c.
It is manufactured only by The T.

To the stranger, the policeman
seems the politest of all Londoners.
Chiefly, however, it is in his control
of traffic, &wheel and afoot, that he
is unrivaled. When you consider
the narrowness of the streets,you
constantly marvel at the easy skill
with which he solves his problem.
The Paris policeman never looks
anything but "sloppy," and his
notion of controlling traffic at
crowded street crossings is enough
to make the observer shout with
laughter. No one minds him, and
his attempts to regulate the speed
of the Parisian cabby only result in
a slanging match. Observation of
Parisian street traffic is all that is
really necessary to impress you
with the belief that, in ease of need,
the Paris policeman would always,
with much noise and melodrama,
arrest the wrong person.
The police of Berlin are vastly
better than those of Paris. They
do not look as well, according to
our noticins, as the English "con-
stables," but they are fairly smart.
The men are polite, control traffic
inexoraibly, and see to it that Berlin
is one of the cleanest and most or-
derly of cities. But as reasoning
itelividuals, the Berlin policemen
are hardly to be counted at all.
When anything happens to you
more serious than crossing a con-
gested street or losing your way,
you are fairly certain of running
hard against a city ordinance, me-
chanically enforced by the ease on
the beat.
• No argument or persuasion pre-
vails. There is the regulation, and
here the instrument to enforce it;
the human element is entirely ab-
sent. Both Italy and France are,
as to their police, more hurnan.

The progress of Russia, has been
tremendous in the last decade, says
a writer in the Popular' Science
'• Monthly. The years since the Jap-
anese war have seen theadoption
of a constitutional regime, the
rapid spread of industrialism, the
greatest a.grerian reforms since
emancipation, and a remarkably in-
telligent study and handling of the
problems of primary education,
agriculture and intemperance.
Along with this has come a clear
appreciation of the richness of her

Gideon was: beating out wheat in
Ale winepress.—A most unusual
proceeding, as the wine seas pressed
out frequently in the inner cleft of
a rock arranged in the nature of e
winepress, whereas wheat was
threshed out on a high place as his
dieated above.

rael's nateve easy eaeld be adminis-
tered only in the extreme south-
east, between Remelt and Bethel,
where, as we found in the lesson of
January 3, the palen-tree of Debor-
ah stood. In the day of Gideon
the Midianite& swept south from the
plain of Esdraelon, so that -the use
of the threshing -floors was impossi-
ble. They pusihed so far that the
laraelites had to hide thermselves
even at Ophrah, ,From the plain of
Esdra,elon a succession of open
plains lead out, connected by easy
passes. It is the widest avenue into
both Samaria and Jualma, and
makes connection also with the
plain of Sharon.
12. Thou mighty man of valor.—
Gideon was not in a particularly
good mood; to think that he, a man
of valor—that is,, a strong and Ete-
tive man—should leave to hide him-
self practically in the cleft of a rock
in order to thresh out a little wheat
was almost as much as a hardy,
strong young men could stand. The
angelic visitor implied in his greet-
ing that Gideon was not only a
strong and brave man, but that he
also was a devout man, a man of
valor in the hill sense.
13. Oh, my lord, if Jehovah is with
as, *by than is all this befallen us?
--The angel of the Lord eame with
an a.ssuring greeting, •"Jehovah is
with thee." Gideon was too devout
to repudiate this statement. How-
ever, he was too sorely distressed
not to question it, and he asks, "If
Jehovah is with the Israelites, why
does he not reveal himself as he did
to the men of old ?" The greatest
revelation always in the memory of
the Israelites wan the feet that Je-
hovah brought the Israelites up out
of Egypt. Gideon could not with-
hold the expression that Jehovah,
who was with the children of Israel
in Egypt, seemed now to be deliver-
ing them into the hand of Midiaa.
WAR AND WEA.THER.
•
Present War Does Not Differ Much
From Old Campaigns,
Throughout the area of the great
swan the weather from day to day is
playing its pert in the campaign.
Isloclern military tactics; modern
armament; modern methods of all
kinds, have not in any way elimin-
ated the weather element as a lec-
tor of the greatest importanee.
The story of the present war does
not, thus far, read so very different-
ly from that of the steries of pre-
vious years in the same countries.
In 1536, the Spanish, as related by
Motley, encountered such -terrible
rains on the Meuse that they le -
treated. A previous fall of Namur
in 1692, was largely due to heavy
rains which prevented the English.
from crossing the river a.hd meet-
ing the besieging French army. The
English in Flanders in 1708-09 en-
dured great hardships on accouut
of the deep snows, which bloaked
the reads. The cold was intense
and the troop., who were short of
firewood, suffered severely. Tbe
Duke of Marlborough wrote (1708):
"Till this frosteeie'IsIs we Can neither
break `glesenel for our batteries nor
open our trenches." The French,
in Poland, in 1806-07, found_ roud
three feet deep; drenching rains;
driving sleet;melting snow and
iey streams. In the Franco_prus_
sian war of 1870-71, over the eame
historic ground in Prance we read
of torrential rains; icy rads; mud-
dy fields, and of sufferings on ac-
count of cold.
So the story goes on, teem age to

14: And Jehovah looked upon. him.
Here the stateraeat is direet—noe
the angel of Jehovah, but Jehovah:
Gideon's eyes are open to the real
import of the message that is com-
ing to him. It comes direct from
God.
Go in this thy ,might, and save
Israel from the hand of Midian
have not I sent thee ?--There is no
account taken of the complaint of
Gideon. There is no tirae to argue
the matter. Words are of little im-
portance.- Action is what is de-
manded. Gideon .is made to feel
immediately that he has •the power
to go and save Israel from tbe
hands of the Midianites. This puts
-
An entirely differeet phase on the
question. •
15.. Oh, Lord, wherewith shall I
save Israel ?—The thought occurs to
Gideon at once, however, that he is
a young man of .Very lo.w
His family is not only .the poorest
in bhe tribe of Mena,sseh, . but he
himself. is the very least in his
father's house.
16. And Jehovahsped tines him,
Surely I will be with thee and.thou
shalt' smite the Midianites as one
man.—Again Jehovah. pays no at-
tention to the word of, Giele,on. His
remonstrance is in vain. It matters
little how poor and 'lowly he He
eame of a good family and had the
essential characteristics for leader-
ship. In Gideon is another illus-
tration of the fact that God is no
respecter of persons and that the
true -hearted and worthy Will find
his favor, no matter' what their con-
dition in life happensto be.
38. Then all the llidianites and
the Arnalekites and the children of
the east assembled themselves to-
gether.—Not only was Gideon to
face one horde of invaders, but all
of the heathen on that side of the
valley intended to make a concert
against the ehildren of Israel.
And they passed over.—They im-
mediately entered , the confines of
the leraelites.
And , encamped in the valley. of
Je.zreel.—The word . used here for
valley means "deepening." It is
the same as the Scotch expression
"vale." It is a valley as one looks
into it from above, and not a valley
se one might stand below and look
over an extensive plain running
away from the hills far off to &n-
ether rise of bills: The "deepen,
hie" or "vale," is a wide avenue
running up into mountainous coun-
tries. So we rea,c1 of the vale of
'Hebron, the vale of "Malt. of Ajelon,
of, Jeireel. Thesc invading armies
.were not going to meet the Israel,

therefon, had to muster net oo
Mount Tabor, but at Gilboa. It is
interestingto note that the Midian-
Res in their battle against Gideon
took up practically the same posi-
tion as the Philistines did in their
battle with Saul.
34s But the Spirit of Jehovah
came upon Gideon; and he blew a
trunipet.—.Although the tribes of
Israel were scattered and working
independently, they ooulcl be gath-
gred together at. a t4ane of crisis.
The blowing of the triunpet, how-
ever, was directed to the people of
Gideon's own tribe. He wanted to
be sure of them first. Afterward
deoe, sent messengers to all the
neighboring tribes, to give warning
of alager and to call assistance.
And .Abiezer was gathered toge-
ther • after him.—This was his own
tribe. That his people, who knew
him as belonging to a poor family
and of hamble origin, rallied to him
at once mast have been a sign of
great eacouragement and, doubt-
less, a real indieation that Jehovah'
would be With him.
35. • And he sent messengers
throughout all Manasseh.—As soon
as he was mire of his own people, he
sent the word everywhere. He per-
tieularle, however, sent messengers
unto Asher, and unto Zebelun, and
unto Naplitali; and they carne up
nseet them. They all canae tip to-
gether—es will appea,r afterward, a
formidable army of thirty-two thou-
sand men.
36. And Gideon onid unto God.—
The test wbich Gideon puts to God
in this paragraph (verges 36-40) s a
most striking proof of the teeth
which the people of the Old Testa-
ment had in their God. If he was
the true God, he would allow him-
self in some way, particularly at a
time of so great crisis. The particu-
larity with which this test, is des-
eribed by the Hebrew writer shows
us how great weight the ehronicler
put upon the incident, and also is
evidence of the belief which Gideon
himself had, that if he was to go
out into the conflict he should go
•out entirely as the messenger and
in the control and under the guid-
ance of God.
DAYS OF OLD PRESS GANG.
'Twas a Hard and Brutalizing Life
in King George's 'Reign.
There can be no question about
it—life in the Georgian navy was
insufferably hard. According to
Mansfield, "it was brutalizing,
cruel and horrible, the kind of life
now ha.pnily gone forever, a kind of
life which no man of to -day would
think good enough for a criminal.
There was barbarous discipline,
bad pay, bad food, bad hours of
work, bad company." •
This is putting the case strongly
