As the Jews cf jeremiah's day said, in a popular proverb. The fa- thers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge. , This saying was a prevesron of the Sec- ond CornmandmE�:. ent ( 20: 5, 6), which described God visiting ,the opo iniquity of the fathers n the child - But every otfe shall diefor his own iniquity, This is the doctrine of in- dividual responsibility upon which Jeremiah insisted, as opposed to the doctrine of clan or ,family responsib- ility which had obtained before him, There is troth in both views. If we resist the evil tendencies which we inherit, if we conquer them, the sin is not -ours, however sadly it may have been our fathers. Every mart that .eateth the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge. Note that this proverb amounted to a double criti- cisco of God: that He was unjust 'lit making children suffer for their fa- ther's wrongdoing, and that the or- iginal sin was very slight, like the careless eating of sour grapes. Both criticisms were wrens. Behold, the days come, saith Jeho- vah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah. We have here the . origin of the name, "The New Testament, which is' properly 'trans- lated in th'e Revised Version, "The New Covenant,” as "The Old Testa- ment" should be "The Old Covenant." Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in •the day that I took them by the hand to bring thein out of the land of Egypt. Note the tender sense of God's 'leading, as if He took His people louisxg;ly by the hand. Which my covenant they brake, although I was .a !husband un- to them, saith Jehovah. 'God did not break the covenant, hut -was as true to His people as the most: loving hus- band to his wife; but the:people broke it by disobeying God :and so annulled it, thus making it necessary to estab- lish a New Covenant. But this is the covenant that I will make with the lrotase 'cff Israel after those days, saith T'e'hovah. "The house of Israel" is all :the people, the ancient name for the ?Yews before the division .intotwo kingdoms. I will put nay law in their inward parts, and in their heart will 1 'ta'rite it. A cov- enant written on tite 'heart, enforced by the desire and •w�ifl, is part of the life, enforces itself and.cannot be bro- ken. This is the Chiistian idea of our relation to Gerd, aird it could not be fully realized until God came close to .lien through His 'Son. And 1 will be their God, that they stall be toy people. This is to 'be the. permanent result of the new a:n±lividual heart - relation with Jehovah Jeremiah prophesies. And they shall teach no more ev- religion, but that then.: shall be a dir- cctness of access to Gott, both for jew and Gentile; AV hiati ,did not exist under the old covenant. For they shall all know ,me, from the .least of thein unto trite greatest of then!, saith Jehovah.

When John Armitage, novelist; journalist andwar correspondent, was a lad at school in Australia there hung in front of his class a great clap of the world, says an article in the Toronto Star Weekly, To the neglect of his lessons he spent itiueh of his time determining which of the coun- tries, shown in attractive colors, he some day would visit. Most of us have youthful dreams. Few of us maize them come true. Jona Armitage has, at least in part, for he has travelled extensively on fou o i r c nt menta; Herein is another claim to unusualness, for after twen- ty-five years of travel and writing Its has never -seen Europe. Here are a few queer places he has seen and which, to most of us, are but names, some of o them seldom heard: All Na- tions street, Fiji; Rotorua, New Zea- land, "the world's safety valve"; the Australian Nor'west, inhabited ` by crocodiles, deadly snakes, savages and hard-. itt b en pioneers; Borneo, home of the dreaded cad d Dyaks; South 4frica, where he was a member of the fighting, raiding Menne's scouts and lost the sight of an eye; Yuca- tan, Mexico, where the peons over- threw the church, shouting "Viva el Diable!" (Long, live the Devil!) ; and Central China cities, where a camera is regarded as, a "devil -box." Canada, too,' has been done with some thoroughness, for he has motor- ed in and out and round about four provinces, regaining the most price- less of human possessions — good health. Of all the strange things he hal ween the two most remarkable aro the firewalkers of the Pacificandas old nun in China. The Srewalkers live on a small island a day's sail from Fiji, They perform: a ceremony which is called "walkingthe way." The tribe has a pathway some three feet wide, sunk in the ground. For two days and nights prior to the cere- monial walk or dance great fires are kept burning on these stones until they become white hot: Then the fire dancers "walk the way," showing no i11 effects: Mr. Armitage is satisfied there is a scientific explanation for this, as he was able to observe that they rub a lotion on their bodies before the per- formance. He was told that this is a 'vegetable extract, but its secret is still undiscovered, although they have since performed in Now Zealand and in England. At the entrance to , a temple in Canton there nits an aged 'figure, a nun reputed to have guarded the en- trance to the Temple of the Five Hundred Buddhas for two hundred years. Her head is . hairless, her gums toothless and her skin a wrin- kled parchment. No one ever sees her eat or drink, and she has sat in the Buddhist "communion with sil- ence" since childhood. 'Only her eyes. live. They are glowing fires of fierce vitality, from which even the hardiest eventually must turn away. Mr. Arm- itage says that the sensation he telt when he gazed back into those eyes was the most unnerving of any he has had, even worse than when he was shipwrecked or his first time 'un- der tire. "Soul - shattering," he de- scribes it. His longing to see strange peoplo and strange places is in inheritance, for his maternal great-grandfather, a Scottish surgeon, emigrated to Aus- tralia before the convict days. Nor is it remarkable that he is :saturated in the history of those stirring times, the tales of which he heard round .his natal hearth. The Lord Mayor's :42sha1n. The golden chain made .of linked S's"'has been used by London's .cldef magistate for nearly 4,00 years. The existing chain was beq.ueathad to the mayoralty in 1545 by Sir John Aleyn, who had himself been lord Mayor. twenty years earlier, and twas ween for the first time by Sir William Laxton in 1546. Sir John Aleyn:a bequest took its curious toxin .by rea- son of the popularity of :the "S" de- sign in Tudor times, when together with the Tudor rose, it was the ecog uizauce of the royal house. But long before that the "S" was a religious symbol, at time when the univer- sal piety caused every piece of jewel- lery to convey some heaven -1Y signifi- cance. It is the initial letter .of Saate- tus, or 'holy, which etart,s the hymn, "Sanctus; Sanctus, Sanctus," ,chant- ed by the priest in performing mass. Prom this the letter "S" came bo .he regarded as an emblem of the Savio ur. Monument to a Pugilist. In Brompton Cemetery is all im- posing monument erected by his friends and admirers to a prizefight- er, one John Jackson, champion of England, who was known in the an- nals of the pulse ring by the soubri- quet of "tIontleman Jackson." It con- sists of a massive altar 'tomb, with figures of athletes, and beat's a leng- thy inscription setting forth the de- ceased pugilist's many claims to dis- tinction. These oulogiuins were not ill -deserved, for Jackson was a friend and associate of Lord Byron, who deseribed 'him as "the finest -formed ratan in Europe" he was well edu- equal cated, and was received on eq terms by marry well-known leaders at society.

FQr ninety-nine years London bridge has been fooling the public. Whatever the origin of the doggerel which informs the fair lady of i.s tot- tering condition—and the,lines have more currency outside London than elsewhere, for they are never heard In the big city -!-•it makes aro impres- sion oaf the bulk of .the population which moves daily to the tune of 126,00,0, foot passengers back and forth over the granl:e span between their homes and their work through Bast Cheap to the "city." And. the. much -heralded fall has not happened Yet The stately arched traffic -way' which next year will have been in service for a century is still a fledg- ling compared to its predecessors. The old London bridge (the present one is called the "new" ndon bridge) was begun in 1.176 and com- pleted in: 1209. It was the only bridge over the Thames until 1760, when the first. Westminster bridge was built, and when it (old London bridge)was destroyed many thou- sands ou- sands of Roman coins and medallions with examples of Roman pottery were found under the pilings. This was taken as proof that a Roman bridge had stood on the site, since this meth- od. eth- t o l ofarki m n their work was com- mon among the Romans. The date of the first bridge 'across the Thames has been established as A.D. 43. There is some controversy as to whe- ther this was Roman or Briton. The Roman bridge was built perhaps a century and a half later. The "old" bridge looked much, - more like a common ,thoroughfare than the present one, due to the rowse of shops which lined it from one end to the other. These were later re- moved, but its massive arches and fortified gate still gave it a rather sinister look. The gates frequently were to be seen decorated with heads of traitors, exposed on spikes. In the centre was a chapel, dedicated to St. Thomas of Canterbury, Peter Cole - church, who began construction of the bridge, was buried there. The "new" bridge stands slightly west or downstream from the site of the old structure. London's growth has been a bit too much for it, al- though it was widened to 63 feet from its original 54 in 1904.. It is 928 feet long. Taa.ffic stalls fre- quently in the long rush hours. Peo- ple find it more convenient to walk. DISMANTLING LINER. Come to Pieces .almost as Skilfully as She Wags. Built. The famousi 1 mer once known as the Empress of Britain, and later as the Montroyal, has gone to the ship - breakers. Formerly a palatial ship of 16,000 tons in regular service to Canadian ports,she carried 2,000 and crew of 370. At the shipbreakers these floating hotels are handled with care and re- spect. A,floating structure that has taken two years to build, and has roamed the seas for thirty years, is still a valuable property, and the recovery o1 this property means taking her down piece by piece. She comes to pieces almost as skit- fully as she was built. The work is of vast importance, for it conserves to the world many tons of valuable material. Waste is inflnitestirnal. The indus- try regularly employs thousands of men in the recovery of iron and steel for re -rolling, in general engineering work, and in putting into commercial use again thousands of tons of lead, zinc, tinplate, copper, brass, gun -foetal, and piping. In the extensive engineering shops all kinds of machinery are recondi- tioned and disposed of to the trade. Thousands of glass porthole covers and windows are taken down whole and sold to shipbuilders. Timbers, including soft and hard woods, are treated and sold for building, colliery and other purposes. Valuable mahogany, oak, walnut and other fittings and furnishings find a ready sale. A vast army of mien of various trades and professions is required, and an extensive plant is employed to eat'ry out this work scientifically. The latest type of electrically -driven ma- chinery is in use, as well as different kinds of cranes and overhead gan- try. Modern electric shears. some with the power of shearing steel plates three inches thick, are in oper- ation, since large quantities are re- covered. In one yard alone the productive capacity of iron and steel scrap aver- egos 100,000 tons per annum, WONDERFUL STARFISH. alas* Five Legs Each Covered With Rtutdreds of Tiny ,Sucker i+eet.
