of Jesus
Is not sufflclent evidence In
the Bible to determine the exact age ot
Jems at the tim e of his death.
In
Luke 3:23 It says: “And Jesus him
self began to be about thirty years of
age.” This was when he began his
ministry, a fter he had been baptised
In the Jordan by John the Buptlst. But
the duration of the ministry of Jesus Is
not specifically stated In the Scripture.
Most Bible scholars think It lasted
about three years. This would make
Jesus thirty-three ypars of age at the
tim e of the crucifixion. ’ There Is no
direct historical dutu on the subject.—

D ts e o o e ry o t V a lu e
One day an English physician, who
loved growing green things, found on
the Island of T rinidad a few tiny
grasallke plants In a ribbon canefleld
T he Englishman, delighted that he
had ranght nature napping and fonnd
out one of her secrets, took the little
plants to his home garden, and In due
time he discovered that he had sev
eral fine new varieties of sugar cane.
One of these new varieties was car
ried to Haw aii, where It multiplied
and produced a new race of sugar
cane that w ill grow on poor land.
In a handful of years Cubs fairly
won the nickname, “The Sugar Bowl
of the World." So great Is the de
mand for Cuban cane sugar that she
baa never been able to satisfy her
eager buyers.— M arian Benton Bal-
lard. In St. Nicholas.
Luncheon Club Rules
' in Queen Anne’s Time
Wa think luncheon clubs are new
■tuff, forgetting there Is noth'ng new
under the sun. Rumbling through ray
' Addison the other day, I found that
the Spectator's club, organized by
Brother E ditor Addison, hud some
rules that have a fam iliar ring and
some unfamiliar. For example:
None shnH be admitted Into the clnli
that la of the same trade with any
member of It.
I t any member swears or curses, his
neighbor may give him a kick upon
the shins.
I f any member tells stories In the
club that are not true, he shall forfeit
fo r every third lie a half-penny.
I f a member brings Ids wife Into the
club, he shall pay for whatever she
drinks or smokes.
I f any member's w ife comes to fetch
him home from the club, she shall
speak to him without the door.— Merle
Thorpe In Nation’s Business Magazine.

They are built and run on entirely
different standards.
There may be
grace, majesty and beauty In a noble,
poplar-lined thoroughfare, yet tourists
go to the end of the world to aee a
scene as Ben Sharar describes : “I en-
tered a long stone passage, lined with
shops, more a flight o f steps than a
street I moved through the bowels )
of a great market lit with occasional
shafts of the sun which dropped
through niunhoies In the overhead
vaulting. . . .
I t was bound to
gether with stone arches. It w a s .
hung with draper’s goods, dead sheep, I
shoes and kerchiefs. I t was thronged
with an unwashed multitude, their I
heads bobbing up from the lower
depths as they climbed the grade, tur-
butied beaus, skulleapped heads, fuzzy-
haired heads, wimpled
heads, tar-
hooshed heads, calpacked heads, der
by-crowned heads, nose-and-earringed
heuds.

Found Compensation
for Her Affliction
A clergyman called on aa old lady
who had been bedridden for some
years.
“ Weil, Mrs. Davies," be said, "and
how are you todayT”
"Oh, I ’m pretty well, thank you,”
was the cheerful answer.
“Ah, that’s right," said the clergy
man, sympathetically. “I hardly ex
pected to find you In such good spirits,
considering your affliction. I
waa
afraid I should find you downhearted."
“No, no, s lrt" she cried. Interrupt
ing him. “No, no, Indeed, sir. I ’ve
much to be thankful for. Why, only
the other night, when that house Just
opposite was on fire, 1 couldn't help
thinking of all the poor people crash
ing ench other in the street, and many
of them not getting a sight of the fire
at all, while here was I, all nice and
comfortable In bed, and I could see It
beautifully through my window w ith
out even turning over I Oh, no, I've a
lot to be thankful for.”— London T it-

Whence Cocoa Comes
The cocoa plant is now grown In many
districts of the tropical belt, and its
consumption, In one form or another,
has Increased all over the world. It
Is an evergreen, and la eqnnl In size
to a well-grown apple tree. The pods,
about eight Inches long, grow out of
the trunk, and are red, yellew, black
nnd purple, according to the season.
There are twenty or thirty pale red
beans Inside each pod, embedded In
soft white pulp. Cocoa groves are
never planted solely with cocoa trees.
Although It grows best In hot coun
tries, It Is delicate, and haa to be pro
tected from the aun, and for this pur
pose forest trees are planted In the
groves. Some of theae grow to a great
height and have a tufted head like
natural sunshude. These protecting
trees are called “Cacao Madre,” or
cocoa-mother.

Pacific Islanders are probably the
cleanest people on earth, for they
spend a good part of every day In the
water, nnd may bo said to be almost
as amphibious as seals. The children
learn to swim almost as soon ns they
learn to walk. I f the village happens
to be at some distance from the shore,
a swimming pool Is formed In a near
by atresm, and there mixed bathing la
Indulged In several times every day.
W ltjt the skin constantly greased
w ith coconut oil, the pulp of the b it
ter green ornnge makes n good soap
and lathers freely. Dame Nature also
supplies them with scrubbers, the
basks of the coconut, nnd this they
apply to their shining bodies very vig
orously. T heir towel Is provided by
the sun and wind.
W hen W indow s "Sweat”
The sweating of windows Is due to
Imperfect ventilation, and If perfect
ventilation could be obtained It would
probably give the most effective re-
■ults. In many cases openings are
made In the sash, top nnd bottom, so
that a current of cold nlr may cover
the Interior side of the glass. In some
Instances, where the sweating of w in
dow* Is not so bad, M grains of glyc
erin la dissolved In 1 liter of alcohol
(88 per cent), to which a little amber
ell le added. As eoon us It Is thor
oughly mixed, It may he rubbed on the
inside surface of the window with a
chamois or linen rag. A thin coat of
pure glycerin applied to both sides Of I

The most Important thing ln the
making of waterproof paper is the
proper choice of the sheet.
The
toughest papers are now made from
Jute and also from wood, the krn ft or
sulphate pulping process being used
for the latter. The wood or other raw-
material must be long libered and
tough to start with. Waterproofing Is
accomplished by (he use of sizing
agents, such as resin, w ater glass or
waxes and paraffin. One type of wa
ter and grease-proof paper Is made by
immersing sheets of paper made from
sulphite pulp In strong sulphuric acid
solutions.
T he action of the acids
tends to harden the fibers nnd render
them transparent as well as resistant
to moisture and grease. The strength,
however, Is not Increased by this proc
ess.
