IRRESPONSIBILITY.
We nsk the question often why
our college graduates do not take
a more active part In some form
of social v-rvlce so splendidly
organized by the modern city
church. Some may answer this
question by Insisting that It Is
due to a certain lack in their col
legee training; that the attention
of the undergraduate has not
been sufficiently directed to the
responsibilities of life and to the
duties he must assume when he
leaves his college pursuits be
hind him. Others there may be
who would say that the difficulty
is with the church; that its
cluims are uot sufficiently strong
nor sufficiently urgent to com
mand the alleginnce of our young
graduates as they enter upon
their life work. There may be
some truth In each of these
criticisms. Both college and
church may be partly at fault.
There Is. however, a natural tend
ency due to the combined fac
tors of human nature on the one
hand and its environment on the
other which should be definitely
recognized in order that it may
be intelligently counteracted.
This is the tendency which de
velops a habit of irresponsibility
due to an intense concentration
of effort upon a necessarily nar
row field of Interests. To get a
start in life, to be able to hold
one’s own in the strenuous com
petition of the age, to compel
recognition as an authority on
one’s subject, to control men and
events, to command a respectful
hearing amid the many clam
orous voices of the world and to
win the place of a peer among
one’s contemporaries—this is no
slight undertaking. It means
perseverance, courage and an in
domitable spirit. John Grier
Hlbben.
THE OLD VIOLIN.
Though tuneless, stringless, it
lies there in dust,
I.lke some great thought on a
forgotten page.
The soul of music cannot fade
or rust.
The voice within it stronger
grows with age.
Its strings and bow are only
trilling things.
A master touch, Its sweet soul
wakes and sings.
—Maurice Francis Egan.
modern man.
Man is handsomer, better
housed, fed and clothed, more
charitable and is more rarely as
sailed with gout than iti "ye old
en times.” In fact, man has had
on an average of six years added
to his life in the last century.
No doubt the stress and strain of
life today are conducive to ner
vous complaints as well as to
arterial, cardiac and gastrointes
tinal disturbances. And yet with
all of this hurry one is amazed
at tlie outward culm, the |>ise,
of the man of affairs today. We
read that man Is old and worn
out at sixty, hut statistics prove
that the average length of life
is between six and seven years
longer than a century ago. Wives
and children are better cared for.
better educated, dressed, enter
tained, are healthier, happier,
more beautiful than in the his
tory of the world ns we know it.
—Dr. John W. WainwrigliL
THE DANGER OF THE SU
PINE CITIZEN.
No tnan should be a droue in
the social beehive. No man
should be an indifferent specta
tor of the political and econom
ical questions which confront
him. Indifference and apathy in
civic and political life are as
hurtful to the state as Indiffer
ence in religion is hurtful to the
Christian commonwealth. Our
Lord says to the bishop of Loodi
cae, “I would that thou wert hot
or cold, but because thou art
lukewarm and art neither cold
nor hot I will begin to vomit
thee out of my month.” A sin
cere man who in attacking
Christian faith honestly believes
that he is right is less blame
worthy than the torpid, luke
warm Christian who never takes
an interest in the religion of
Christ. In like manner a citizen
who earnestly espouses a faulty
political principle is less dan
gerous to the state than the su
preme citizen who never takes
an interest in the political wel
fare of his country. It is my
profound conviction that If ever
the republic is doomed to decay.
If the future historian shall ever
record the decline and fall of the
American republic, its downfall
will be due not to a hostile inva
sion, but to the indifference leth
argy and political apostasy of
her own sons. And if all citi
zens are bound to take an inter
est in public affairs that duty es
pecially devolves on those who
are endowed with superior intel
ligence and education and who
ought to be the leaders and ex
emplars of the people, guiding
them in the path of political rec
titude.—Cardinal Gibbon*.
Which is the Best Way?
To indulge yourself in everything you
want NOW. and then when old age
comes creeping on begin to lop off one
by one the comforts of life?
OR
To go a little slow on the luxuries
while young that you may have ALL
THE COMFORTS in your declining
year when you most need them?
THINK IT OVER.
Draw a moral from this preachment
and resolutely follow up some cbeme
of steadly saving up for rainy day.

The Morris Bradshaw Case
'I lie civil suit of <’. L. Iliad
shaw against W. F. Moorris for
damages was settled this week by
the payment of iMSOO.OO to Brail
shaw. Mr. Morris had previously
paid the doctor bill, hired a man
to nurse Ilradshaw and other ex
penses, which together with the
*1 soo amounted to ovci S IOOU OO.’
After considering all this expense
the solicitor allowed .Morris to
plead guilty to as-ault and battery
in the state case and the Judge
lined him $350.00, which course
seemed to meet the approval of the
people. It was an unfortunate
affair, but Mr. Morris had never
been in any dillieulty of this kind
before, and being a man of about
fifty years of age, it is evident that
he has not heretofore!; been de
posed to injure his fellow man
physically.
On Wednesday, the last day of
court, when the (are was to I ■
s (tied, the solicitor sent two do> ■
tors to see Mr. Biadsham and they
uported him very si-1; and minim
to come to court.
The Judge and Solicitor wen;
both very anxious for Mr. Brad
shaw to be present w hen the ease
was disposed of but Ins illness
prevented.

CEREALS VS. SUGAR
PRUITS.
“How are wo to know what
to do when Dr. T. opposes the
use of any starchy food, and
you recommend bread and un
polished rice?” a reader asks.
Sugar fruits, figs, prunes, ripe
bananas and dates especially,
would be preferable to the
cereals as the staple of diet,
If they cou'd be had In good
condition at ail seasons, but
they are often spoiled, even
when they appear to be good;
and if the cereals aro properly
prepared and thoroughly mas
ticated they are to be preferred
for general use. That the cere
als, properly prepared, are di
gestible, Is evidenced by their
use as modifiers for the Infant's
milk, and that they may form
the staple of the diet with per
manently beneficial results Is
evidenced by the fact that all
of Metchnlkoff's noted cases of
longevity lived on bread and
milk, almost exclusively, and
that there Is a case of a man
living for fifty years In a Polish
prison on bread and water.
