INTRODUCTION--The first twelve but the world rejected him, 1: he turned to "his own," 13: 1. longer are we in the atmosphere of controversy. All is now tenderness and intimacy. We are in the "Holy of Holies" of the Gospel. These won- derful chapters preserve for us the last discourses of our Lord. 1. LOVE AND TREACHER., 13: 1, 2, The key to all that follows is in the words, "Having loved his own, he loved thém unto the end," or "unto the utter- most," He was prepared to face for them whatever the situation demand- ed, suffering, apparent defeat, death. It was a love which grew more. tender and intimate as dangers gathered. He was troubled at the thought of leavi his disciples behind "in the world, like sheep among wolves--while he was departing out of the world unte the Father. In harsh contrast is the picture of, Judas, v. 2, Stubbornly there still lod, in Judas' mind--and indeed, in the others' also--the popular idea of what Messiah's kingdom should be, namely, power, prosperity, independ- ence, for Israel. But how Judas began to suspect.that when he left father, mother, houses, lands, to follow this new Muses, he had been deceived. In | blind resentment he had bargained to strike at him whom, until now, he had followed. "If he be indeed Messiah he will rout his enemies when his hand is | forced. If he will not deliver nimsalf and vindicate his claims,.then let him die." Perhaps this may have beeh the motive that drove Judas out into the night. II. THE HUMILITY OF GREATNESS, 13: 3-5. A very smart idea you'll like that's rather sportsy is to make the skirt of One River--and No Rain! A country about the size of England, peopled by agricuturists, but practical- ly without rain, and dependent for its water supply on a single river--that 1s the province of Sind, in India. Under-British. rule the primitive canals have been greatly improved and extended, and now the province has the largest irrigation system in the world, with a dam about a mile in length, plerced by sixty-six sluice gate openings, and seven great canals, every one bigger than the Suez The new system, known as the Lloyd Barrage, has just been opened. The value of the dam is that, during the period when the Indus is normally low, the shutting of the sluice gates will keep the water at a sufficiently high level to feed the canals, Then when the river is in flood the gates will be opened --"Answers" (London). -------- lodine Content of Egas Raised By Hungarian Farm-Wife Budapest--The race, supposed to be exclusively between American and G {entists, to prod an egg containing a large amount of iodine, apparently has been won by an outsider, Mrs. M. Janosi, a poul- try farmer, living in Zugulo, near Budapest. It aid that iodine can be far more easily assimilated by the human system if the iodine is con- tained in eggs, than when it is ad- ministered direct. Mrs. Janosl is said to have suc. ceeded in producing eggs which con-|' tain 0.169 milligrams of iodine with- out any unusual taste being percept ible. Her purported achievement is regarded as of great importaoce. Well System Installed in Bermuda Hamilton, Bermuda.--A great engin- eering achievement came to fulfillment recently with the opening of a system of horizontal wells, capable of supply- ing millions of gallons of fresh spring water to the colony of Bermuda. These wells have now begun to supply the city of Hamilton. They wliil soon be extended to care for the water needs of the entire colony. Bermuda has been dependent upon rainfall as its source of water. The island is the cap of a submerged mar- ine mountain and the water is quickly shed by the rock underlying the soil. Prof. W. D. Turner, of Columbia Uni- versity, having been called upon for advice on the possibility of developing a permanent supply of water, found that b of the geological stratifi- cation of the limestone rock in Ber- muda, the water travelled in horizontal veins before finally reaching sea level. 'The problem was to intercept these water veing and collect the water in a central pool. A trench, four feet deep and 250 feet long, has been exca- vated along a hill at a point just above sea level, Interlocking pipes have been laid at the bottom of a pit inter- cepting the water veins, and this pipe leads to a concrete-bottomed reser- voir. The new plant was officially opened by the Governor, Lieut.-Gen. Sir Thos. Cubitt.

"That's true, but it was for an offence involving a million dollars or mors; notliing really disgraceful, you know." By BUD FISHER hed by the sadness and ten- derness of this farewell meal, blind to the situation still, they argued among themselves who should be first, Luke 22: 24. No one was willing to per- , form the menial task of washing the feet of his companicris--a customary and necessary service. Imagine the feelings of the Master as he looked upon his disciples--Judas, uneasily looking for an opportunity to slip out to betray him--the others, standing on their dignity. Without a word he performed the lowly task him- The greatest men are often the most humble. It is the "small" man who is always standing on his dignity. True humility is not to doubt one's powers, but rightly to understand their scope. Jesus knew what he was--he was con- scious of his divine mission and des- tiny (v. 8), and by his act of kindly courtesy he put their pctty striving to shame, Years afer, Peter, in one of his letters, admonished, "All of you gird yourselves with humility to serve one another," 1 Peter 6: 6. He had not forgotten the lesson of that last night together. en Sir Bastle Frere was coming to visit a Scottish home, the master of the household, sending his servant to meet him, sought for some description by which the visitor might easily be recognized. "When the train comes in," he said, "you will see a tall gentle- man heiping somebody." Such was Jesus. Such is the Christian ideal. III. THE DAILY CLEANSING, 13: 6-11, To Peter's objections, Jesus replies that this is a symbolic act, the mean- ing of which will be mada clear to him later on, v. 12ff. Peter, disciplined by life, purified, enlightened, some day will be able to exclaim, "I understand now what my Master meant," The insistence on the washing (v. 8), is John's way of saying that only Christian fellowship, As one who has c~m2 fiom the publié baths needs only March 8.

The absence of daily fellowship with Christ is the secret of our "travel-stained" church 1gembership. IV. AN EXAMPLE, 13: 12-15. When Jesus aid, "Ya ought, also, to wash one another's feet" (v. 14)} he asked them not to perpetuate tha act ifself, but to practice the spirit of it. The truest fo.lowing is service to our fellows in the spirit of our Master. Arion Drink More Milk La Presse, Montreal: In all the highly civilized countries of the world the milk industry is looked upon "as being of the first importance, as much because of its profits as of its importance with regard to health, Milk plays a preponderating role in the nourishment of all people. If, for example, ten million pints of milk were consumed daily by the in- habitants of Canada, the health, strength and vitality of the popula- tion would increase from day to day, from year to year, and from gen- eration to generation. Illnesses would tend to be diminished in an amaging proportion. Spr mn. AFFECTION Just as the diminutive wren wlll fight hard in her nest for her young against the hungry owl, or just as a hen will gather her chickens be- neath her wings, and herself bravely meet and repel the swoop of the ravenous eagle, so will maternal af- fection nerve her who gave us birth to shield us from all dangers which jmperil either our bodies or our souls.

No garmeat has been missed so much from the feminine wardrobe as the woollen jumper, which has been more or less out of fashion for several seasons. It will return in the spring.

Accompanying them will be knitted woollen cravat scarves in a three-col- ored scheme, the Smartest being a tri color design. These scarves are more than fashionable, they are a craze, Everything that comes under the heading of "woollens" must look sim- ple and home-made, even the suits which are actually man-tatlored and pressed to perfection. ens ant Mexican Kitchens I wish I could show you a Mexican kitchen, They are quite out-of-the- ordinary. It is a little room with a floor of red bricks, The range is a number of oven-like holes in a ledge of brick and clay, extending two or three feet from the wall with its top about four feet from the floor, Each of the holes is one cooking place. It is filled with charcoal and the draft comes in from an opening underneath. The Mexican cook wants no other stove. One visitor here recently sent for one of these cooking ranges. He had to tear a hole through the rear wall to make room for the chimney. After setting it up in his daughter's house, he gave instructions that it be usad. Later his daughter reported that al- though the servants had struggled for hours, they could not make the new ! stove burn. When he went to investi- gate he found they had built the fire | in the oven. Home baking is almost unknown in Mexico but many of the Indian vil- lages have great ovens which are used in common, The family desiring to bake brings its own fuel, or sometimes several join together in a baking day. The cooking pots, which are some- times copper, but more often red clay, are set on the live coals, and water is boiled, soups are made, meats are fried, and, in short, first class meals are prepared in this way. The fuel is comparatively cheap, so that a workingman's family can.do its cook- ing on about two cents' worth a day. --Frank G. Carpenter, in "Mexico." mien Fashion Nuggsts Light-weight woolens continue to grow fn favor. The weaves, color- | less and oppressive silence, he learned that the forests were im deed tenanted. But many creatures were in the tops of the tall trees, and many others had that, although they were on the 'ground before his eyes, he could not see them. As for noises, although the forest was silent by day, directly the sun went down it became vocal, and there was one great insect which set up a shrill whistle only to be com- pared to a railway engine's. The climbing power of some frogs is remarkable, and not only can they climb, but they can also glide through the air. The traveller say them climb up great posts at night to catch the moths which had been attracted to am electric lantern, and that they appar- entely "jumped up into dark space. After watching them for some time he tried an experiment. He took one of the frogs up a water tower 140 feet high and lef it go from the summi The frog streiched out its arms an legs and glided down, taking several seconds in the descent, and landed un- injured, thirty yards from the base of the tower. One giant toad, over six inches long wis found making meals of birds, though how it caught them the travel- ler could never discover. Then there was a bird-catching spider whose body was as large as the palm of a boy's hand. The traveller brought home an ant- eater, which was fed every day of the homeward voyage on six eggs. The ant-eater is about the size of a fox. terrier, and is perhaps the strongest animal for its size in the world, When this specimen was allowed on deck everybody had to be very careful and respectful, because with its' fearful claws it would make a mark that would never disappear. ingratitude You may rest upon this as an um- failing truth, that there neither is, nor never was, any person remarkably un- grateful who was not also insufferably proud; for as snakes breed on dung- hills, not singly, but in kmots, so in such base hearts you always find pride and ingratitude twisted together. Im- gratitude overlooks all kindness, but it is because pride makes it carry its head so high. In a word, ingratitude is too base to return a kindness, too proud to regard it, much like the tops of mountains, barren indeed, but yet lofty; they produce nothing, they feed nobody, they clothe nobody, yet are high and stately, and look down upon all the world.--South. aioe men m-- TAKEN AT THE FLOOD There is a tide in the affairs of mem | ings, and styles are so ohic that they.
