Sitting inside a submarine on an ocean bottom you would be no more conscious of the enormous water pres¬ sure without than if you were going to sleep in your own bed. You might remain twenty-four hours under water without coming up, using only the natural air supplied in the boat without feeling the least uncomforta¬ ble. If you wished, you might remain down four or five days, tapping the air tank as you needed a fresh supply of air. In the meantime you would hunk over the torpedoes and torture yourself by letting your imagination loose to your heart’s content, or you might r<4d by electric light or play cards or dominoes or checkers, the cook serving you with coffee and canned things that can be heated on an electric furnace without causing too much smoke and making tlm air disagreeable to breathe.- St Nich olas.

"Several years ago I was actually starving,” writes a Me. girl, "yet dared not eat for fear of the conse¬ quences. “I had suffered from indigestion from overwork, irregular meals and improper food, until at last my stomach became so weak I could eat scarcely any food without great dis¬ tress. “Many kinds of food were tried, all with the same discouraging ef¬ fects. I steadily lOBt health and strength until I was but a wreck of my former self. “Having heard of Grape-Nuts and Its great merits, I purchased a pack¬ age, but with little hope that it would help me—I was so discouraged. “I found it not only appetizing but that I could eat it as I liked and that it satisfied the craving for food with¬ out causing distress, and if I may use the expression, ‘it filled the bill.’ “For months Grape-Nuts was my principal article of diet. I felt from the very first that I had found the right way to health and happiness, and my anticipations were fully realized. “With its continued use I regained my usual health and strength. To¬ day I am well and can eat anything I like, yet Grape-Nuts food forms a part of my bill of fare.” “There’s a Reason.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Subject: Temperance, Is. 5:11-23—— Golden Text, Prov. 20:1—Com¬ mit Verses 22, 23—Comments on the Lesson. TIME.—760 B. C. and 1908 A. D. PLACE.—Jerusalem and all lands. EXPOSITION.—I. The Woe of Those Who Live Intemperately, 11- 17. God pronounces six woes upon Hi3 people because of their sins. The first woe is pronounced upon the greedy monopolist. Verse 8 gives a very graphic picture of a large class among us to-day who count them¬ selves happy, hut Jehovah pronounces woe upon them. More and more will this be true as time passes, even as it came to pass in Jerusalem. The sec¬ ond woe is pronounced unon those who live for the gratification of ap¬ petite. The description of the drunk¬ ard in verse 11 exactly fits our own day. The rising sun sees the wretch¬ ed victim of alcohol up searching for an open saloon; he hasn't slept much and now wants a drink to steady his nerves. But he is not only up early but tarries late into night till wine inflames him. He is burning the candle at both ends and will soon burn it out. God pronounces woe upon every such an one. And the woe never fails to come. It Is a sig¬ nificant fact that after speaking in general terms of the ruin of Judah (vs. 1-7) such frequent references are made to drunkenness. It Is clear that the prophet Isaiah (as well as other prophets) considered Judah's fall (and Israel’s) as due largely to intemperance (see also ch. 28:1, 7, 8; Hos. 7:5, 6. The effect of wine is to inflame them.” It inflames the stomach, the blood, the eyes, the brain, the vilest and fiercest passions of the soul and kindles the fires of hell. The man that fools with wine is fooling with a fire that has caused the costliest conflagrations that the world has ever known. In verse 12 we have pictured the veneering of art and refinement with which drunkards seek to cover their beastliness. Music is constantly prostituted to become the servitor of beastliness. While these ancient sinners gave themselves over to aesthetic and sensual indul¬ gence they forgot “the work of the Lord” (cf. Job 21:11-14; Am. 6:4-6). One of the most serious evils of the use of wine is that it leads men to forget God. A fearful doom awaits all those who forget God (Job 34:24- 27; Ps. 28:5; 9:17). The conse¬ quence of their intemperance and for¬ getting God was that God’s people had “gone into captivity” (v. 13). The world to-day is full of people who have gone into the most degrad¬ ing and painful captivity through the same two causes—intemperance and forgetfulness of God. The immediate cause of captivity was “lack of knowl¬ edge.” Knowledge of the truth is lib¬ erty, ignorance of the truth Is bond¬ age (Jno. 8:32; cf. Hos. 4:6; Rom. 1:28; 2 Thess. 1:8). The next result of Judah’s intemperance was that “Hell (or Sheol, the underworld) enlarged her desire, and opened her mouth without measure.” Hell yawns wide because of intemperance and the glory of the multitude and the pomp, and he that rejoices among us Is de¬ scending into it.. All classes are brought down by this sin (v. 15). Not only the insignificant and con temptible, hut the great and lofty are I humbled. But in the midst of all this humbling “Jehovah of hosts is ex¬ alted.”' He is exalted by the judg¬ ment He brings upon the offenders (cf. Ez. 28:22;- Rev. 15:3, 4). As He is “the Holy One” (R. V.), His Holi¬ ness shall he manifested In the right¬ eous judgment Pie brings upon offend¬ ers. As the final result of Israel’s in¬ temperance and forgetfulness of God all the splendid estates and palaces of Judah should become waste and the feeding place- of wandering bands. This is now literally fulfilled and there is a real danger that all the present splendor of our own land shall some day become a feeding place of flocks and tramps from simi¬ lar causes. II. The Woe of Those Who Give Themselves Over to Sin, 18-23. The third woe is pronounced upon those who are so thoroughly given over to sin that they tug away at it to see how much they can draw (v. 18). The use of wine leads to this devotion to sin. In their enthusiasm for sin they mock at God and His Word’and say: “Let God hurry up with His judgments and let Him hasten His works that we may actually see it and not merely hear about it. Let the purposes of the Holy One of Israel of which we have heard so much ac¬ tually come to pass” (v. 19; cf. Jer. 17:15; 2 Pet.'3:3, 4). Such mockery of God’s word and God’s judgments is common among drunkards. T e fourth woe is upon those who “call evil good, and good evil, that put darkness for light and light for dark¬ ness.” This displays a determination in sin that is wellnigh hopeless (Matt. 12:24, 31). This complete perversion of the moral judgment often results from the persistent use of liquor. The fifth warning is one greatly needed in our day (v. 21; cf. Prov. 26:12; Ro. 1:22). No man is more likely to be wise in his own eyes than the drink¬ ing man. He laughs at all warnings against the dangers of strong drink. The final woe is pronounced upon those who pride themselves upon the amount of wiife th can drink and the strong drink thoy can mix and “walk off with.” The inspired prophet says that this is not an accomplish¬ ment to be proud of.

The bride was Mary Carlyle of Craigenputtock, a grandniece of Thomas Carlyle, and the bridegroom James Carlyle, a farmer, of Pingle, Dumfriesshire, a son of Thomas Carlyle’s favorite nephew. Pingle is about four miles from Ecclefechan, Carlyle’s birthplace, and this village Is the original of the Entuphl of “Sa» tor Resartus.”—London Standard. BORAX IN THE DAIRY. A Matter of Profitable Interest to the Farmer and Dairyman. The problem of keeping sweet all the utentils used in connection with milk and cream selling, and butter making, has been a serious one,with the farmer. He has come to realize fully that the slightest taint or hint of staleness left in a can, tin or churn may ruin a whole output; that the taint which Is left is in the form of bacteria which grow and multiply in milk or butter, producing disastrous results. The farmer has learped that hot water won’t rinse away the greasy residue in dairy utensils. He has learned that soap leaves a residue of its own which is, if any thing, worse than the milk or cream residue, and it is little wonder that there has been a constant clamor for a dairy cleanser and sweetener that will meet modern requirements. A few of the largest creamery es¬ tablishments have called experts into consultation on this problem and have with this scientific aid hit upon a product of nature which exactly fib 3 the bill—borax. Scientists have long known borax as a cleanser, a sweetener and an antiseptic destroyer of bacteria and germ growths. Destroys all that 3 harmful and promotes and preserves freshness, sweetness and purity, re¬ lieving the dairyman and dairy house¬ wife of drudgery and of needless work and worry. Its cheapness and value should gi”® it first place in the necessities of every dairy. The cow’s udder is kept in a clean, healthy and smooth condition by washing it with borax and water, 3 tablespoonful of borax to two quarts of water. This prevents roughness and sore¬ ness or cracking teats, which make milking time a dread to the cow and a worry to the milker. The modern cleanser of all dairy utensils consists cf—one tablespoon¬ ful of borax to every quart of water needed. Remember—a tablespoonful equals four teaspoonfuls. Be sure that you get pure borax. To be sure, you must get “ 20 Mule Team Borax.’ All dealers.
