So God •>created man in bis own image, in the image of (Jod created he him; male and female created he tbem. ... And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good" (Genesis 1:26,27,31). The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Kddy: "Human capacity Is slow to discern and to grasp God's creation and the 4tvine power and presence whR-b go with it, demonstrating its spiritual origin" (p.519). ruptured, and a possible skull fracture.

The white traders and prospectors corrupted the Aleut Indian name "Alak-shak" or "Al-ay-ek-sa"--meaning "great coun try," to Alaska. And that la the name William H. Seward gave the territory when, as secretary of state, he arranged the purchase from Russia. Chalk Up Another Score for Standard's Engineers -ptr a Mare jSince the recent announcement- of a reduction in r^tes for electricity, householders have been curious as to j how much the saving will mean in their own individual cases. In response to numerous requests for a fulW explanation of the application of the reduction, District Superintendent J. W. Leeming of the Public Service Company, has issued the following statement to assist residents of this vicinity in estimating how the new rate will work out in their own cases: , . "This reduction in cost of electricity is estimated to save residential customers of the Public Service Company well over a million dollars a year. It provides a reduction for every residential customer, regardless of the size of his home, but it is impossible to say just how the savings will accrue to individual customers because the company has no way of predetermining the amount of electricty used for lighting and the various appliances in customers' homes. No two families have the same appliances in their homes,, nor use them to the same extent. For this reason it is only possible to assume hypothetical cases. "Assuming that an ordinary modern ^five-room home uses, in addition to lighting, a refrigerator, radio, electric iron, vacuum cleaner, percolator, toaster, washing machine, electric clock and kitchen mixer, a home of this type, making ordinary use of these appliances, will consume about 107 kilowatt hours of electric service each month. Under the old rate this consumption would have cost $5.41. "Under the new rate the bill would be reduced to $4-82. On the other hand, for the same amount of money paid under the old rate it will now he possible to use all these appliances, and, in addition, to make normal use of an ironing machine, a waffle iron, one or two electric fans, an indirect floor lamp and a dishwasher. This represents an increase of about thirty percent in electrical consumption with no increase in the electric bill. "In a four-room apartment, for instance, using lighting, a radio, refrigerator, an electric iron, vacuum cleaner, percolator, electric clock, kitchen mixer and a toaste^ average use qf these appliances might consume 81 kilowatt hours of service in a/month. Under the old rates the cost would have been $4.19. The new rate will buy these 81 kilowatt hours for $3.76. "However, in a home of this type, the $4.19 bill, under the new rates, will purchase enough additional service to operate an indirect floor lamp, washing machine, ironing machine and waffle iron, provided ordinary use of these appliances is made. "Assuming a seven-room hpuse is equipped, in addition to lighting, with a radio, -electric iron, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, percolator, electric clocks, kitchen mixer, washing machine, ironing machine and an indiret floor lamp, normal use of these applianes in a home of this type might consume 134 kilowatt hours of service during the month. At the old rates, this amount of energy wquld have cost $7.10. The bill for the same amount of electricity under the new rate, with these same conditions, j would be $6-43. "In the same way, under the new rate, this home can use, in "addition to present appliances, a dishwasher, an electric sewing machine, a waffle iron, an additional radio, electric fan?, fx kitchen ventilating fan, toaster anil 8n additional floor lamp at no greater cost than under toke old rates. "Formerly the lowest step of the Public Service Company's residential rate was 3 cents a kilowatt hour. The new low step of 2 cents a kilowatt hour will permit the customer who desires a wider use of electric service the opportunity to add appliances at a much lower operating cost. The low cost of operating some of the ordinary electrical appliances, under the new 2 cents step in the rate, based on normal usage in-a home is as follows: "Refrigerator, $12 per year. "Electric iron, lc per hour. "Kitchen mixer, 5 hours for lc. "Indirect floor lamp, 2 hours for lc. "Vacuum cleaner, 3 hours for lc. "Washing machine, 2% hours for lc. 'Dishwasher, 2Vt hours for lc." Jtd* Difficult to V«IM Of all valuable stones jade varies the most in price according to color and workmanship. And jade is probably more difficult to value than any other precious stone. Most of the jade comes originally from the mines In Burma. Great blocks may be seen lying on the quays for shipment to China, where it is cut by workmen who know the secret of finding the perfect pieces of purest color. The Chinese are supposed to have maintained the9 monopoly of jade cutting on account of their patience and their extreme appreciation of the beauty of the stone. The most valuable jade is of a rare emerald color and translucent. Colorado Mother of Rivers Colorado Is the mother of rivers^ says Nature Magazine. From high mountains great streams radiate like the spokes of a wheeL One system reaches the Mississippi through the Platte and the Arkansas, ^another courses southward through the Rio Grande to the gulf, while a third flows westward through the Colorado to the Pacific. These rivers have fixed the routes of land transportation, the areas of irrigated agriculture, and the location of cities and towns. Arabs Skilled WorlunM The Arabs were practical artificers and manufacturers. They fashioned beautiful objects from gold, silver, copper, bronze, iron and steel. In the famous Damascus blade they produced something that only modern alloy steel can match. In the treatment of textile fabrics the modern manufacturer finds It hard to surpass them. They processed leather, dyed cloth and manufactured paper.

The Adelie penguin brings stones, the bower-bird presents flowers and berries, and the Empls fly calls with food Inclosed in a glistening bubble secreted by himself.--Collier's Weekly. < "Hand-Me-Downs" The term "hand-me-downs" la Used In England as meaning "second-hand clothing, clothing that, for Instance, passed from an older child to a younger child." In the United States, in addition to that meaning, hand-me-downs means ready-made clothing as distinguished from tailor-made - clothing.-- Literary Digest Snake* Live on Eggs The sole diet of a species of South African snake Is eggs.
