"To be effective, evangelism
must nppcal to motives which
powerfully seize men, and It
must hold up a moral stand
s' ard so high above their actual
lives that It will smite them
with conviction of sin. If the
motlv.es urged seem untrue or
remote or If the standard of
life to which they are sum-
moned Is practically that on
which they are living, the
evangelistic call will have lit-
tie power. The two questions
which every Christian worker
should investigate for him-
self are these: Are the tra-
dltionnl motives still effect-
Ive? And Is the moral stand-
ard held up by the church
' such ns to induce repent
' ance? The motives urged at
1 any time will vary with the
' preacher and the audience.
and there will always be a
large measure of truth and
power even In the most de
fective preaching that touches
human nature at all. Yet there
Is a change In emphasis from
age to age. Within our own
memory tho fear of hell and
the desire for bliss In heav.en
have strangely weakened,
overf with men wno have no
doubt of the reality of hell
and heaven." Professor
Walter Rausehenbusch, Roch
ester Seminary.
IS DEMOCRACY REDEEMED.
Under the caption, "The Hedeomed
Democracy," the Lewlston Tribune,
an independent democratic paper,
gives th.o following review of tho re
suit of tho St. Iouls convention, from
the Parker side:
"The gentlemanly and thorough
drubbing Mr. Bryan and Mr. Hearst
have been getting In the democratic
convention and the fact that they
have accepted said drubbing with
composure and good grace contain a
moral of some value even outside of
rcllt'cs.
"As long as Mr. Biyan ap I lilt
special adherents conferred alone
with and comforted each other, quite
naturally they came to consider
themselves as very nearly the wholo
thing and thoso that did not agree
with them as bolters and represent
ing minority views.
"Mr. Hryan, for example, has been
consorting largely with populists and
ex-sllver republicans and with a few
democrats known to favor radicalism
and Innovations on democratic policy.
It is scarcely to be wondered at then,
that he has 'stood pat,' believing that
he had the people with him.
"nut he found a different situation
In the national democratic conven
tlon. Ho found that these so-called
reorganize or bolters or whatever
he might have chosen In an Idle hour
to call them, to hold voluntary com
missions, from all the democratic
states and those states where the
democrats had a living chance to win,
to reatoro the old democratic creed
and to ignore those states represent
ed by him, which aro all rough-rider
and free riot states and which the
democrats could never carry except
In a revolution like that of 189G.
"Mr, Bryan Is too astute a politic
lan to longer fight against fate, or
rather against the democratic party,
lie has permitted himself to be mis
led, as others permitted themselves
to bo misled by a handful of satel
lites who rovolved around him,
knowing that they could not revolve
around tho fortress of the old demo
cratic faith that has added so many
brilliant pages to American rlstory
and that will add other splendid an
nals to th.o country's chronicles Just
as surely as tho American pcoplo aro
democratic In spirit and republican In
their institutions.
"Domocracy now has a hopeful

election, but In pvory elec
f It does not win, It Is slm
le In the eternal fitness of

throughout the country,
sued several stinging ctculnrB con
cerning their work and ' Its results
upon the community. , i
In 'the llrst place itluy government
weather" reports anil for6cnBts are
not infallible, nlthouglujilf the known
paraphernalia and facilities aro at
the rommand of tho department. In
the second place several of tho great
private concerns are constantly more
accurate and nmko better forecasts,
than can be had elsewhere.
This" success of scientific con
science lias caused a Jealousy to
spring up between the two classes of
forecasters with the result thnt they
aro now engaged In a wnr for pres
tige with the people.
The government forecaster claims-
thnt It is detrimental to communi
ties to publish storm forecasts of auy
community In advance, as It might
Influence business, or have a tenden
cy to unsettle coniiiuons.
Therefore the government minces
its words and keeps silence In this
subject to a large extent, where
Illcks and other weather forecasters
make their predictions known n year
in advance, with fairly good results.
If It is science, let us have more
of It. The world Is willing to accept
the inevitable. No stolid silence of
the government weather bureaus can
avert storms, and If th.o people know
that storm periods nre due months in
advance, they will prepare for them,
plant crops to suit conditions, make
calculations ahead in their business
affairs and will be lienuli t,ot by such
knowledge, if it Is a scientific knowl
edge, based on truthful experi
ments and genuine sclenc.e.
Too much knowledge cannot hurt
any community, where Its very wol
fare depends on the widest kuowl
edge. As long as forecasts do not
take on tho color of fiction, or sen
sation. they are beneficial. Stockmen
learn to respect the weather fore
caster, just as he respects other scl
entlsts who speak authoritatively on
the different questions of life and
business.
Conditions are changing in nature.
every year. Storm centers nnd storm
belts vary each year, and It Is a
beneficial knowledge which enables
men in business, especially in farm
and stock business, to follow theso
changes. The government publica
tlons are issued at such rare inter
vals, with so much red tape and as'
sumed pomp, that the season affect
ed is past before such reports can
reach the people.
There Is a demand for knowledge.
and tho Jealousy of government fore'
casters will not have the effect of re
ducing the people's faith in scientific
weather prediction, although it may
result In giving tho ponderous and
prosaic reports of the government a
second place in public Interest.
Ther.e Is a growing deslro among
all classes of people for a peep Into
the future. Mystery arouses a deeper
Interest In men's minds than .over be
fore. If it were possible .or the hu
man mind to read its future destiny,
no matter how horrible that fate
niih be, ther.e are those who would
checrtully look upon It, nnd be con
tent to suffer the pangs, In order to
get tho knowledge.
The object of enlightened progess
Is knowledge. If tho people aro not
to be benefited materially, by tho ad
vance of science, of what use are the
self-sacrificing efforts of thoso who
aro giving up their lives to research?
Tell us more about the weather.
Had Hoppner received a vivid warn
ing In advance of her disaster of a
year-ago, how many lives would have
been lost! The more direct and spe

forecasters, the better for tho people.

MYSTERY OF AFRICAN LAKE.
A recent report by Consul Skinner
on a visit it) Abyssinia gives inter
estlng particulars regarding a curl
oiib n ml little known body of water.
It Is called Lake Assal. has an Im
mense supply of good salt and holds
out oxcoptolnal prospects to capital
ists. A concession has nlready been
grnntod for "the exploitation of tho
salt.
Luke Assal Is a small body of salt
wntor lying seven or eight miles In
land from tho bay of Tadjoura, one of
the French possessions in East Afri
ca. It comprises only about 1G square
miles.
It Is surrounded by a wonderful
confusion of jagged mountains, de
scending to tho water's edge, so that
ll is almost Impossible to trnvel
n.-rittitd it t,c it-i.t.ira nm unlF til flm
! the point of saturation, nnd at is
lowest level there Is seen upon Its
lintik n layer of nearly pure salt over
a foot thick.
For years nobody know whence It
derived Its water. The few men who
visited It could noi ascertain that
any stream Hows Into it. It wns
thought that the lake probably had
subterranean affluents.
Tho mystery of Lake Assal was
solved In 1883 by the French explorer
Henry Audon. He carefully examined
the shores, though he found It very
difficult. His hard work was at last
rewarded by a murmur of n waterfall.
Guided by the sound he approached
'J the spot and the solution of the enig
ma ueiore mm. tie iotimi n largo
brook of crystalline wntor foaming
over the Btonos and throwing Itself
Impetuously Into the lake. He tasted
the water and found It as salt as tho
ocean, of which Indeed it had been a
part.
Lake Assal lies considerably below
the surface of the sea. It has been
ascertained thnt the water that pours
into It comes from three brooks,
which flow from the (lubbet al Kami),
a little bay at the extreme western
end of the Day of Tadjoura.
The waters of the Indian ocean are
carried inland to ml this depression
In the Interior, and when thoy reach
Lake Assal they aro about -too feet
below the level of tho sea. From
tlmu to time the salt has been car
ried !' caravans as far Inland as
Meucllk's capital.
Perhaps there are only two other
Instances known of water flowing in
land through brooks from tho sea,
Both these brooks are in the Island of
Ccphnlonla In the Ionian sen, west of
Oreece.
Thoy were on the southwest side of
the Island, near tho small town and
port of Argosloll. For a llttlo way
they flow near one another straight
from the sea and then follow different
courses. Both streams finally disap
pear in the ground, probably reach
ing some subterranean reservoir
whose waters perhaps ngaln reach the
sea through fissures in tho rocks.
There Is no tide in the sea here and
the How of the salt water streams Is
perfectly steady and continuous.
Tli.o good times, is Just over yonder
Where the light. In tho clear heaven
shines;
The blithe birds aro singing,
The glad bolls are ringing,
And tho wind whispers sweet to
tlt,o vines!
There Is never the ghost of a sorrow,
And love Is reality sweet,
And heaven seems so near
That th.o angels we hear
And their songs In our hearts we
ropeatl
The souls that through trouble have
striven,
They rise to an Infinite height;
I.ove-gtfted nnd strong,
With no sigh In their song,
Thoy drenm In th.e lilies and light!
The deep wings of peace brood above
them,
And never a thorn's In the sod;
They pass to tho glory
Of heaven's old story,
The beautiful gardens of God!

The red .tape which ties up the ad
ministration of public charities In
New York has had no hotter Illustra
tion than In the case of the waif found
by the little Italian girl, Josophino
Itugelo, In the hallway of her tene
ment homo.
This baby, discarded by Its own
mother, was regarded by this "little
mother" of 12 years ns hers by right
of her discovery. She loved It nnd
she wanted It. Her fathor and mothor,
good simple folk, caught the Infection
of her fondness. They were poor,
with seven children of their own, but
tell themselves able to tako one
more mouth to feed. Thoy declared
themselves ready to adopt the baby
legally. Tho father of tho child Is un
known. The mother Is a 17-year-old
Jewish girl who showed so gross a
lack of maternal Instinct that Hho In
spired tho contempt of her follow-
prisoners. She wns willing to rid
herself of tho baby In any way. Yot
the magistrate, who Inclined to turn
tho baby over to tho Bugolos, sen
tenced the mother and child to Ran
dall's Island for six months. Why?
M
Because It was pointed out to him
by the Charities officials that the
waif, born out of wedlock of a
Jewish woman nnd a man whoso
faith If ho had any no ono knows,
could not bo given to n Catholic
Italian family. Tho religious pro
prletles would bo outraged!
So tho baby is condemned to Ban
(lull's Island, to the care of an un
natural mother and a probablo future
of Instltutlonnllsm, Instead of to the
decent homo whore love nnd tender

WATER AS A MEDICINE.
Drink a glass of water when you
got out of bed In the morning. Never
mind tho size of the glass. Let tho
water bo cold If you will. Some peo
ple prescribe hot water, but that Isn't
necessary.
You may have washed your face al
ready and relished the experience.
You may have taken a cold plungo
into the tub and delighted In tho
shock and its reaction. Tho brisk use
of tho tooth brush has left your
mouth clean and the breath sweet.
But you aro dirty still. Drink a glass
of cold water and enjoy the sensation
of being cloan Inside.
All that Is luxurious in tho cold
bath cleansing the outsldo is artifi
cial. That which should prompt tho
glass of water after sleeping Is natur
al. As a test, tell the 9-year-old nro-
testant against his morning scrub of
cold water that ho may escnpo it by
drinking half a pint ot tho fluid. Ho
will Jump at tho opportunity.
Sleep has drawn upon the water In
tho blood, and tho Instinct of the ani
mal, under natural conditions, Is to
roplonlsh tho circulatory system and
distend the blood vessels anew. The
food In tho stomach, which had ao
much to do toward Inducing sleep has
disappeared, loavlng a mucous sub
stance In the alimentary cnnals. Yet
man would wash his fuce and leave
theso half-clogged canals to tho duties
of another day.
Drink a glass of cold water In the
name of cleanliness. It becomes ono
of the shortest and easiest of toilet
duties. It Is swallowed In a second
and In flvo minutes It has passed from
tho stomach, taking with It tho clog
ging secrotlous of the nlmlnotnry
tracts. It has left bohlnd tho stimulus
thnt goes with cold water and, by
filling tho arlorlnl system to tho nor
mal In puts a spurt to tho circula
tion that has grown sluggish In tho
night. It is ono of tho greatest
awakonors and ono of nature's own
stimulants.
Drink a glass of wator betoro
breukfast, another boforo luncheon
nnd nnothor boforo dlnnor. Wator Is
the best, cheapest and pleasantost
medicine. Chicago Tribune.
An express and passenger train on
the Pennsylvania railroad west of Al
