Our Bchool is progressing nicely,

little children have to go through the
deep snow and cold.
Liverpool, England, Jan. 28. Vice
Admiral Sir Davin Beaty, Commander
of the first British cruiser squadron,
whose ships defeated the Germans in
the North Sea, has made a stirring
appeal for a. great religious revival in
England as a necessary step to victory
in the war. In a letter read at the boc
iety for the Propogation of Christian
Knowledge he writes:
"Surely Almighty God does not in
tend this war to be just a hideous
frucuB or a bloody drunken orgy
There must bo a purpose in it; im
provement must come of it.
"In what direction? Franco has al
ready shown us the way and has ris
en out of her ruined cities with a re
vival of religion that is wonderful
'Russia has been welded into a whole
and religion plays a part. England
Still remains to be taken out of the
stupor of selfusntisfaction nr.d com
placency into which her flourishing
condition has steeped her. Until sue
can be stirred out of this condition,
until a religious revival takes place,
just so long will the war continue.
"When she can look on the future
with humbler eyes and a prayer on
nor lips, then we can begin to count
the days toward the end. Your society
is helping to this end and so is helping
to bring the war to a successful end. 1

STORY OF A WEATHER VANE.
Why a Grasshopper Tops the Royal
Exchango In London.
If vou ever no to London among the
places of interest there you will visit
the public buildings known us the
Royal Exchange. There Is a cupola at
the top of that building. Rising from
that cupola is un Iron rod with a huge
grasshopper on it for a weather vane.
And there Is an interesting story con
nected with that grasshopper. It Is
this: One day, more than 30o years
ago, a mother lu England bad tin in
fant, a few months old, which she
wanted to get rid of. So Bhe wrapped
it up In a shawl and laid It down un
der a bush in a field and left it there
to die unless some oue should find It
and take care of it
Shortly after a little boy was coining
home from school. As he passed by
the place he heard a grasshopper chirp
ing In the field. He stopped a moment
to listen to It. Then ho climbed over
the fence to get It But Just as he was
about to catch It be caught sight of
the baby close by. lie let the grass
hopper go' and, taking the baby in his
arms, curried It home to his mother.
She took charge of tho baby and
brought him up, He turned out to be
a good, pious boy. Ho was always de
cided In doing what he knew was
right and In not doing what waa
wrong.
When a young man he went to Lon
don and entered Into' business there.
He was successful In business and be
came rich. He was not only rich, but
great lie was knighted and Is well
known la English history as Sir Thom
as Gresuum. The Royal Exchange
was built lu honor of him. And he bad
the grasshopper put as a wcuther vane
on tho top of it in memory of the won
derful way In whlclr when an infant
his life whs saved by the good provi
dence of God. Richard Newton In Bi

i SUCKED RATTLESNAKE WOUND
First
Keeper of Bronx Zoo iB Given
Aid"
New York, Feb. 4. A rattlesnake
bit John Toomey's right hand when
Toomey was cleaning a cage in the
reptile house of the Bronx Zoo yester
day. Head Keeper Charles Snyder,
nearby, almost immediately sucked
Toomey's wound; a very risky pro
ceeding, had Snyder, by chance, even
a small cut on his lips or in his mouth
Then a toxin against rattlesnake
poison was given to. Toomey, (;he
wound was cauterized and he was tak
en to the German hospital for obser
vation and to receive any further
treatment.
Toomey, who lives at One Hundred
and Seventy-eightt Street and South
ern Boulevard, has ib&en employed
by the pork delpartment fifteen years.
Thanks to the prompt "first aid" giv
en him it is expected he will recover
quickly. .
RICH MAN A BEGGAR
THEY PUZZLED HUXLEY.
Verms In Which He Found It Difficult
to Define His Belief.
Huxley once wondered whether he
was a deist an atheist, an agnostic, a
pantheist, a materialist or a skeptic, an
idealist, a Christian, an liitidel or a
freethinker. And the more he reflect
ed the deeper his problem. What an
swer will liny one make? Dr. James
C. Eernald in his work "Synonyms and
Antonyms" defines each according to
his own belief, as follows:
"The deist admits the existence of
God, but denies that the Christian
Scriptures are a revelation from Illm.
The atheist denies that there is a God.
The agnostic denies either that we do
know or that we can know whether
there Is a Ood. The skeptic doubts di
vine revelation.
"The infidel is nu opprobrious term
that might once nlmost have been said
to bo geographical lu Its range. The
crusaders called nil Mohnmmedaus in
fidels mid were so called by them in
return. The word is commonly applied
to any decided opponent of an accept
ed religion.
"A freethinker Is Inclined or addict
ed to freo thinking, especially one who
rejects authority or inspiration in re
ligion. A materialist takes Interest
only in the material or bodily necessi
ties and comforts of life. A pantheist
accepts the doctrine of pantheism. An
idealist idealizes or seeks an Ideal or
Ideal conditions. A Christian Is one
whoso profession and life conform to
the teaching and example of Christ
"Pantheism is the doctrine that God
and the universe are Identical. It con
trasts with atheism as tho positive de
ntal iinil with agnosticism us the dog
matic doubt of the existence of God.
It opposes thnt form of deism which
denies the divine immanence and sep
arates God from the world."
Keeping a Lamp Clean.
Once In two mouths I separate the
wicks from the burners and boll them
In soda water. In about ten or fifteen
minutes I take them out and clean
them with an old toothbrush, rinse and
dry. I lay the wicks straight to keep
their shape. They will be white and
pliable. Then fill the lamps with suds
(not too hot) and let stand awhile un
til all dlscolorlngs have vanished.
Drain, wipe out and reUll with kero
sene, adding a teaspoonfu! of salt to
each lamp. Lumps treated this way
give a beautiful bright light and there
is no fear of an explosion. Boston
