to make their reports of number

acres of this food, from which he

being trained for athletics are not
permitted to smoke by their train

that youthful smokers are shorter

Jeans comes to a city of Samaria,
called Sycbar, near to the parcel of
ground thaS Jacob gave to his son
Joseph: and Jacob’s well was there,
Jesus therefore, being weary with
His journey, sat thus by the well.
It was about the sixth Dour. There
comes a woman of Samaria to draw
water: Jesus said unto her, “Give
Me to drink.” For His disciples
were gone away into the city to
buy food. Tne Samaritan woman
therefore said onto Him, “How is
it that Thou, being a Jew, askest
drink of .me, which am a Samari
tan woman?” (For Jews have no
dealings with Samaritans.)
Jesus answered and said unto
her, “If thou knewest the gift of
God, and Who it is that said to
thee, Give Me to drink; thou
wouldest have asked of Him, and
He would have given thee living
water.” The woman said unto
Him, “Sir, Thou hast nothing to
draw with, and the well is deep:
from whence then hast Thou this
living water? Art Thou greater
than our father Jacob, which gave
us the well, and drank thereof him
self, and his sons and his cattle?”
Jesus answered and said unto
her, “Every one that drinketh of
this water shall thirst again: but
whosoever drinketh of the water
that 1 shall give him shall never
thirst; but the water that I shall
give him shall become in him a
well of water springing up unto
eternal life!” The woman said un
to Him, “Sir, give me this water,
that I thirst not, .neither come all
the way hither to draw”’ Jesus
said unto her, “Go, call thy has
band, and come hither?” The wo
man answered, “I have no hus
band.” : .
Jesus said unto her, “Thou saidst
well, I have no husband: for thou
hast had five husbands; and be
whom thou now -hast is not thy
husband: this hast thou said truly.”

perceive that thou artf a prophet.

Hunting for New Writers.
Eight thousand manuscripts
were received by the Ladies’ Home
Journal during.tbe year jnst clos
ed. Each was given, a careful-read
ing, bat out of the entire number
only eighty were found worthy of
publication. The Manuscript Bu
reau of the Ladies’ Home Journal
is operated at a large expense, but
the hope of discovering hew wri
ters or some aspirants with unde
veloped talent warrants the outlay.
It can be seen thaf' the articles se
cured by such a careful winnowing
process brings the cost of each tip
to and above the remumeration
paid our- best writers.
These facts bring refutation to
the oft-repeated but none the less
erroneous assertion tbat only well-
known writers of established liter
ary reputation are -able to find a
place for their work in the maga
zines. Exactly the contrary is true.
The Ladies’ Home Journal through
the manuscripts considered, has
discovered three or four new wri
ters of excellent merit and great
promise, and this “find” its editor
regards as fully warranting the
large outlay of maintaining an ex
pensive bureau for reading all the
manuscripts submitted.

It is very likely that the Presi-
will soon be “called down” even by
members of his own party for the
way in which he has been abasing
the appointive power by .creating
a swarm of new major and briga
dier generals in the regular army
In less than three years, 42 such
appoiniments have been made. Of
these 27 have since been retired,
two or three have died, and only
12 now remain in the service. In
otherwords, the retirement list has
been used for the purpose of pro
motiug colonels and lieutenant
colonels to the rank and pay of
brigadier, and then retiring them
to make way for others who are iD
tarn retired. These appointments
were not made necessary by the
war, as all such appointments due
to that episode were in the volun
teer army. The country is willing
to reward its war generals with lib
erality, but when the President
goes into the business wholesale,
as he has done, there is sure to be
objection sooner or later,—Wash

The readerB of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that sci
ence has been able to cure in all
its- stages and that is Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon tbe blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying tbe foundation
of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting na
ture in doing its work. The pro
prietors have so much faith in its
curative powers that they offer
One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list

worship the Father. Ye worship
that which ye know not: we wor

“But the hour cometh, and now
is, when the true worshippers shall
worship the Father in spirit and
truth: for-such doth the Father
seek to be His worshippers. God
is a Spirit: and they that worship
Him must worship in spirit and in

“I know that Messiah cometh
(which is called Christ): when He
is come, He will declare unto us
all things.” Jesus said unto her,
I that speak udIq thee am He.’
And upon this came His disci
ples: and they marvelled that He
was speaking with a woman, yet
no man said, “ What seekest Thon,
or “Why speakeBt Thou with her”?
So the woman left her waterpot,
and went away into the city, and
said to the men, “Come, see a man,
who told me all things that ever I
did: can this be the Christ”? They
went ont of the city and were com

disciples prayed Him, saying,
“Rabbi eat.” But He said unto
them, “I have meat to eat that ye
