TIMBER IN RIVER BEDS. Fortaue Await the Inventor of a Method to Recover It. "If some scheme could be devised," snitl a. Stillwater (Minn.), man. "by which the sunken logs which fill the bods.'of rivers and creeks in the log-. in sections of this country could only be n-covered. immense fortunes would be ruade. Along the St. Croix waters it is estimated that logs enoughTSre im bedded in. the, sand of river bbttoms to kevp mills running for years. Under present conditions the"' loss is total, for no successful 'method has ever been de vised to effect this saving. . ''Occasionally, logs cut years ago are forced by the washings offloods from their sand, beds and driven up?jn the shores,- where the action of sun and wind dries them out sufficiently, so that they will float down stream, bijit the percent! ge of logs recovered is 'small,, niid millions of dollars' worth of prop- fiiv is lost hevond rpcrivorv until snrrio enterprising genius invents a machine Wl ,-",1 iw Ilium IIHJ 11UJUV1.

"Xo possible estimate'' can .be made of the amount of timber thus lost, but lnii.bermen estimate that the rivers of Wisconsin., in the value of the !pgs buried, in .tl'ieir s;;nds, have fortunes'of millions of dollars if the logs could be recovered.' Wisconsin has been one of the big pine states, and your Chip pewa, Wisconsin. St. Croix and Me nominee rivers and their tributaries contain fortunes in sunken timber.

At one 411110 a company was or ganized at Stillwater to dredge streams and thus recover some 'of the timber, but thi- plan did not work with any great, degree of success, this method being found too expensive. Some one will come -along some day with a plan, and this immensely valuable product, now lost, will be recovered."' Milwau kee Sentinel. ' APHORISMS. Rest is the sweet sauce of labor. Flutarch.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL, f LESSON XI, FIRST QUARTER, INTER NATIONAL SERIES, MARCH 13. Text of the Lesion, 3Iatt. xiv, 1-12. MemorV Verses, t-ll Golden Text, Rev. 11, 10 Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. 31. Stearns. Copyright, 1903, by American Press Association. Again we pass over many events be tween the lessons. After the stilling o,f the storm lie cast the demons out of the man (Matt, viii, 23, says two) at Gadara and suffered them to enter the swine. Then, at tiie earnest request of the Gadarenes, lie departed out of their coasts, thus granting their unbe lieving request, while He denied the request of the healed man who wanted p abide with Him. lie then healed the woman who had been twelve years sick and raised to life the ruler's daughter, who was just twelve vears of age (Luke viii, 42,' 43). lie ohee. more revisited--Nazareth and taught in the synagogue, but they were offended at Him, and lie left them, marveling at their unbelief (Mark vi, i-G). After this He sent forth the twelve and at the time" Of our lesson was perhaps at Capernaum, or on His second circuit, teaching and preaching in the cities of Galilee, Our lesson opens with the fame of Jesus and the perplexity of Herod (compare verse -1 and Luke ix, 7), though Herod was in the eyes of men the one to be envied and Jesus was the despised and rejected one. We need to be oft reminded that things and peo ple highly esteemed among men may be. abomination in the sight of God. and there is a "woe unto you when all men shall speak well of you" (Luke xvi, 15; vi. 20). Another helpful and necessary word is, "Fret not thyself because of evil doers, because of him who prospereth in his way, who bring eth wicked devices to 'pass", (Ps. xxxvii. 1, 7). There ;are many evil things and evil people that possibly we are not called upon to meddle with, but the fact that John had Herod for a hearer left him no alternative but to be blind to Her od's sins for peace's sake or speak faith fully against them for Christ's sake. The former, as a servant of God, he could not do. but the latter he did and was imprisoned for it. John did not seek honor from ,men. He was great in the sight of the Lord and lived to please Him; hence he did right in the sight of the Lord at any cost. We will never help to make known the fame of Jesus if we compromise with the world or in any way wink at sin. We must be ever and always whole hearted for Him. wholly His, His own purchased people, to show forth His praises (I Pet. ii. 9). Our lives by purity and meekness and holiness and the joy of sins forgiven must proclaim. "Behold the Lamb of God!" The Spirit filling us, we will be a rebuke to those who conform to the world and live unto themselves. . . Turning to the birthday party of Herod, what a sample we, have. of the world lying 'in the wicked one, a very Belshazzar's feast, the devil's own, and he knew what he was up to, for he was running tms tmng to accompnsn his purpose.' How well he enabled that poor sinful girl to dance that day! How he enabled her to captivate the sinful heart of Herod and to lead him in his excitement to make a rash prom ise which led to the death of John! What a devil possessed woman Hero- dias was that she could think of noth ing to ask of the king so desirable- as the death of the man she so hated be cause he had rebuked her sinful life! Yet other mothers have counseled their children to do wickedly (II Chron. xxii, 3: Gen. xxvii. 12, 13), and the same Xlcvil still lives and works. How wretched a specimen of self in dulgent humanity was this man who had placed himself under the control Of this sinful woman for lust s sake, who feared her and feared people and had some fear of the hererter, but had no true fear of -God! AVe hav.e come to a time when in church and state, in public and private life, the devil controlled Herods , and Herodi- ases are without number, but , the worst phase of the work of the adversary to day is his control of the leaders in. spiritual things who do not hesitate to may be, there will be salvation for them after they leave this world, there ls no everlasting punishment, and even the devil himself is to be saved. The . faithful to Himself and to His truth, even though it should I Tin4rtne' on fF nrinrr rT mean prison or r uimus, ouuvnus - deatn for ms sake, and may the hearts of His true people be stirrea t0 give , auicklY to those who have not heard it. yet, that ms church may be compietea anu ims uuswij age may end How awful the last scene in. today's lesson! John has been months in his lonely prison, seemingly neglected even by our Lord, for we have no record that Jesus ever went to see him, even though the prophets had testified that Messiah would give liberty to captives and open the prison to them that are bound (Isa. lxi, 1). But now ls heard the tramp of feet. Some one is coming tT?Jsee b,!m: Is " mf LariS.d Mf i iiis 1 1 uuui o nxii-y wanted, not for earth, but heaven.

Ills disciples buried his body and went and told Jesus. What else could they do? "As for God, His way is perfect." lie is perfecting all that con cerneth as, and He says, "Be still and know that I am God" (Ps. xviii. SO: exxxviii, 8y xlvi. 10).

Eat the Smallest Amount of Food That .Will Preserve Health. How shall one determine how much food to eat? Too mucb mystery has been thrown about this subject. Let your sensations decide. It must be kept' in mind that the entire function of di gestion and assimilation is carried on without conscious f supervision or con currence. It should be entirely unfelt and unknown, excepting by the feeling of bien etre which accompanies and follows its - normal accomplishment.' Satiety is bad. It implies a sensation of fullness in the region of the stom ach, and that means that too much focd has been taken. The exact cor respondence in a healthy animal be tween the appetite and the amount of food required is extraordinary. As a rule, the meal, unless eaten very slow ly, should cease before the appetite is entirely satisfied, because a little time is required for the outlying organs and tissues to feel the effects of the food that has been. Ingested. If too little has been taken, it is easy enough to make it up at the next meal, and the appe tite will be only the better and the food more grateful. No one was ever sorry for having voluntarily eaten too little, while mil lions every day repent having eaten too much. It has been said that the great lesson homeopathy taught the world was this that whereas physicians had been in the habit of giving the patient the largest dose he could stand, they have been led to see that their purpose was better subserved by giving him the smallest dose that would produce the desired effect. And so it is with food. Instead of eating, as most peo ple unfortunately do, as much as they can, they should eat the smallest amount- that ' will keep them in good health.

Slxe lias Her Trials and Sorrows, but Also Hot Rewnrd. . , - The minister's wife exercises the statesmanship .necessary, to maintain a well ordered and cultured home on a small income a home constantly un der inspection by the whole parish. She sets a fashion in becoming dress which tones up the taste of many of her parishioners whose ' husbands' in comes are two or three times as large as the minister's salary. She is the pastor and the actual head of the too numerous women's and children's or ganizations in the church, and she man ages to keep most of the jealousies of their leaders from coming to the sur face. She listens sympathetically to the confidences of the young women of the congregation, and the small wed ding fees which occasionally fall into her lap are meager wages for all the time and thought she has given and the teas she has served to bring about these weddings services which her neighbors may laugh at, but which are the most delicate and' valuable of all ministries when they issue -in happy homes. ' She knows the pains, the joys and the-sorrows of motherhood, and she has. , strengthened the courage of many a shrinking wife faltering on the thresh old of an unknown realm. .When she has closed the eyes of the darling 'of her heart in the last sleep she goes out to cheer weary watchers by sick beds and to, give her silent sympathy to mourners who will not be comfort ed. She holds her jueenly way in pov erty, trial and not seldom' under un kind and unjust criticism, and as she grows x)lder a light radiates from her patient face which, moves discerning friends who otherwise would pity, her to say, "Verily, she has her reward!"

The great fire in Baltimore serves to bring out the mutual interdependence of our modern world as well as the sympathy that now is at once extended hi substantial form to those whol suffer. Of the hundred millions of property destroyed, some seventy-five millions will'" be paid out by the ,fire insurance compa nies for the rebuilding of the city.

A. Hardin yesterday and pain fully injured. . Mr. Hardin was near by and loosed the animal af ter it had inflicted ugly wounds on the neck and iirais of the young lady. Theie is nothing apparently wrong with the dog and it is ordinarily very kind. It has been highly valued by the sergeant and he has refused prices for it. Miss Batem'an was walking along the street 4 when the dog made the vicious attack upon her. v The Japanese are hero-worshippers, also, after a fashion, but the hero must be successful. Hobson, who did not obstruct the channel at Santiago, was wined and dined and kissed all over the country. The Japaneze soldiers who made the same courageous failure the other day, shaved their hea,ds in token of sorrow at their disgrace. There seems to be mighty little hum bug about the Japanese. i,, 1 1 1 . . 1 Happy , Healthy Children. Any child can take Little Early Risers with perfect safety.
