plckot fence that surrounds his bailiwick. With a flowing wealth of legis
lative parlance, including sonorous and -euphonic phrases, tho "gentleman
from Indiana" introduced his resolution In tho houso tho other day.
It seems that at somo tlmo or other, tho picket fonco surrounding tho
Dopartmont of tho Interior building, on tho block bounded by Seventh, Ninth,
T and Q streets northwest, has held tho attention of tho Indiana con
gressman. Lifting ono hand majestically toward tho skylight, Mr. Darnhait turned
to tho house, which waited with bated breath.
"Mr. Speaker," ho announced, "this is my resolution:
"Whereas, wild animals no longer Infest tho business district of the
national capital and horses, cattlo and hogs are no longer permitted to roam
at largo therein, and,
"Whereas, ours is a nation of civilized people without need of restraint
by barrier of high fences; therefore, be it
"Resolved, by the scnato and houso of representatives of tho United
States of America, in congress assembled, that tho secretary of tho interior
bo, and hereby Is, authorized to remove tho Iron fences now surrounding tho
buildings occupied by tho department of tho interior and tho general land
office."
Tests Show the Value of Fresh Air Schools
THAT school children who are taught In fresh-air classrooms advance more
rapidly In their studies and make greater improvement in weight and
strength than children In regular classrooms is a conclusion demonstrated
by Frank H. Mann of New York be-
foro tho sociological section of the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis. The
.npoaker reported on a series of ex
periments carried on jontly by tho
Now York committee on tho preven
tion of tuberculosis and tho board of
education, In which three groups of
children were studlod to noto the ef
fect of fresh air upon them.
In ono group the children were
placed in fresh-air classes and wero fed
during school hours with milk and crackers morning and afternoon; in tho
second group the children wore left in tho ordinary classroom under regular
conditions. Every effort was made to ellmlnato or equalize in tho compari
son such variable factors as ago, home conditions, physical condition, school
conditions, nativity, etc. Tho two groups of children in tho fresh-air classes
wero all undernourished and anemic at admission.
Tho results of this experiment, extending from September to June,
showed that all of the poorly nourished and anemic children in tho fresh
air classes gained in weight, red corpuscles in tho blood, general nutrition
and physical tone. The gains were made for tho most part Independently
of tho home environment and of tho financial conditions of the children's
family, suggesting that tho association between poverty and malnutrition in
school children is not so close as has been commonly assumed, and that
cases of extremo poverty with lack of necessary food at homo aro not nearly
so prevalent as has been frequently stated.
It waB also demonstrated that, even without school feeding, fresh-air
classes can be run with advantage to the children of poor families, although
tho greatest benefit was obtained where extra feeding of children was
employed.
Effort to Stop Traffic in Habit-Forming Drugs
IN A desperate effort to stop tho traffic in habit-forming drugs in tho United
States, such as opium, cocaine, morphine and heroin, congress will, within
tho next few weeks, place upon tho statute books a law that Is more drastic
than anything ever before attempted

except in pursuance of a written order on a form to bo issued in, blank for
that purpoBo by tho commissioner of internal revenue of tho United States
treasury department. This order shall be kept on fllo, for a period of two
years by the dealer so that it may bo accessible for inspection by federal
and state officials. Tho purchaser of thoso drugs must keep a duplicate of
the form for similar inspection.
In other words, if a citizen is addicted to the use of opium or cocaine,
and purchases either of theso drugs, ho must bo on public record as a drug
fiend and the dealer on record as a person who Is willing to sell to the
unfortunates. Tho law will make certain exceptions in the use of theso
drugs for purely medicinal purposes when procured on a written prescription
from a physician.
"Business" Is Now Dead for Capital's Beggars
PANHANDLERS" whb hang out under tho trees nlong Pennsylvania ave
i nue a few blocks from tho treasury have como to the conclusion that
"business" hero is "dead " The "first aid" ticket of the Associated Charities
is blamed by tho beggars. The nickels
nnd dimes obtained from citizens of
prosperous appoaranco during tho old
rich years have gone. Instoad tho
"panhandler" now Is given a "first
aid" ticket.
When somebody devised tho ticket
plan packages of the tickets, dono up
like mlleago books, wero issued to
the business and professional men of
Washington.
The "first aid" ticket is tho print
od application of a citizen for help on
behalf of somo Individual who 1b supposed to need It, So far tho plan haa
worked well, hence tho complaint of tho beggars that "business" is poor.
There was a tlmo in Washington when an alert panhandler could net
?4to $6 on any pleasant summer evening all in money, mostly nickels and
dimes. But now times have changed. Within the past few weeks Wash
ington has been flooded with, "first aid" tickets and tho tired business man,
Instead of shelling out bis nickel or his dime, tears off a "first aid" ticket
and goes his way rejoicing.
The officials of tho Associated Charities aro pleased with tho plan. They
ay tba a man really needing help will como to them, get what he requires

professional be wants cash and cash only and ho never comes near!

Tho Mexicans havo a favorite coup
lot extolling tho vlrtuo of tills plant,
which says:
Comldn, beWdn,
Caao, y vcstldo.
This means that tho maguey plant
Is "food, drink, house and clothing."
Such an assertion Is a little exagger
ated, but It Is a fact that from tho
maguey ono can obtain pulque, te
quila, an Intoxicant somewhat resem
bling Scotch whisky; mescal, liko
tequila, but stronger; fuel, thatching
material for tho adobe hut and needles
and thread. By carefully cutting off
tho sharp spike at tho top of each
maguey blado and following tho strong
fiber which extends from It to tho
heart of tho plant, sowing material of
a rude sort is obtained. Tho poverty
stricken Indians In tho valleys of Mex
ico use this primitive needlo and
thread extensively.
When sap time comes the sap gath
erer cuts into tho bulb from tho top
and digs out tho corazon a few inches.
He then covers tho cavity with a mag
uey blado and goes to the next plant,
which ho treat in a like manner.
Within two or three hours ho returns
to the first plant and finds tho bulb
filled with sap aqua miol, or honoy
water, it is called. Into this ho dips
tho small end of a queer recoptacle
mado from tho Mexican gourd. It is
really a rude siphon. Ho sucks tho sap
into the gourd. Then ho opens a large
bag mado from tho skin of a pig, which
ho carries on his shouldor, and pumps
the sap Into It from the siphon.
When newly taken from tho bulb
tho sap Is thick, white and sweet and
tastCB something liko sweet cider. In
this state, while not yet pulque. It is
very agreeable and not the least Intox
icating. For three or four months repeated
visits aro made to every plant tapped
and the sap withdrawn. When tho last
drop haB been taken from it tho groat
plant droops, Its blades sag to tho
ground and It becomes a dirty brown.
It Is then dug up and hauled away to
be used as fuel and thatching and,
perhaps, needles and thread.
One load after another of this agua
miel tho gatherer gathers in the pink
pigskin to tho building on tho hacienda
where the pulque is made. It is poured
into vats mado of cowhide. Tho hair
side of tho hide Is uppermost, so that
the liquor is poured on the hair.
A small quantity of fermented sap
is placed with tho fresh, and soon a
great whito foam forms on the top and
rises into a sort of pyramid as fer
mentation Is complete. It Is u thick,
sour liquid, sickening to ono who has
not cultivated a taste for it. There is
nothing that can be compared to the
tasto of pulque, nor, for that matter,
to its smell. That Is usually enough
for most visitors to tho country. But
It Is said that good pulquo, ufter one
has grown accustomed to it, is an ex
ceedingly agreeable beverage.
Onco fermented, tho pulquo Is load
ed on tho hacienda's own trains and
shipped to Its destination. Often a
peon will own a few maguey plants

tute of Chicago.)
LESSON FOR JUNE 7
COMING OF THE KINGDOM.
LESSON TCXT-Luko 17:20-37.
GOLDEN TEXT "Lo, the Kingdom of
God Is within you." Lulte 17:21.
I. The Kingdom Preient, w. 20, 21.
Tho Pharisees held somo peculiar
Ideas nbout tho coming of tho king
dom. Contrary to their Ideas thoro
aro no special outward signs to herald
its coming. Tho word "observation"
v. 20, Is an astronomlcnl ono and sug
gests that tho kingdom was to come
in n bodily shape from tho sky, a cur
rent expectation on tho part of tho
Pharisees.
In answor to tho boastful Pharisees
(v. 20) JeBU3 plainly told them that
ho himself Is the kingdom, ,and that
that kingdom was In their midst or
"among you," Bee (v. 21) margin.
Their question was a flippant one, ono
of unbelief, and to It Jesus makes a
characteristically brief, but clear re
ply, that partook of the nature of a
rebuke. Tho kingdom would not
como with trumpets and drum. They
could not say, "Lo herol lo there!"
Its coming was not to be spectacular,
arresting tho attention of somo who
In turn brought it to tho attention of
others. Tno authorized rendering
"within you" does not imply that tho
kingdom already existed in the indi
vidual lives of his' questioners. Sub
sequent teaching of Jesus shows that
he here refers to another and a final
coming of tho kingdom, at tho time of
the final coming of tho son of man.
II. Tho Visible Son of Man, vv.
22-24. Tho kingdom in its outward
form was rejected by tho Jews, John
1:2G, 27. In its spiritual form it is
now in tho hearts of believers (Horn.
14:17), but he who was rejected with
contempt will one day be sought after,
though in vain, Matt. 23:37-39. Dur
ing tho time of his absence many shall
claim to be Christ (v. 23), but wo
are not to believe such claims. His
tory has abundantly proved and ful
filled this prophecy. Whon he really
comes thero will bo a-suddon publicity
(v. 24), that shall flash from one cor
ner to the other of the heavens, Matt.
24:27; then "every eyo shall behold
him." "So shall tho son of man bo
in hiB day." This instruction Jesus
gives to his disciples. Men Bhall
search for him, a time when ho shall
not be present as he then was. After
tho false ones will como a day of
revelation when tho whole heavens
will reveal him and all will know it.
Finality of Events.
III. The Day of the Son of Man, vv.
25-37. Beforo that day comes, how
ever, ho must suffer and bo rejected,
but following that rejection men will
marry, carry on merchandising and
merriment as in the days of Noah
and those of Lot, In the days of Ndah
and of Lot thero camo a sudden halt
In theso activities and a Judgment of
flood and fire, even 60 "after the same
manner shall it bo in tho day that tho
son of man is revealed," v. 30. This
refers to tho finality of events when
tho kingdom of God comes by way of
judgment. Here Jesus sets his seal
upon tho truthfulness of theso two
events which preceded his first ad
vent. If they be not true then ho Is
a fulse teacher. Like as men dis
credit those events they llkowlso would
eet aside his teaching about hlB sec
ond advent. Many claim that verso 31
refers to tho destruction of Jeru
salem; tho context to us clearly dis
proves any such Interpretation.
Verses 32 and 33 must be taken to
gother. Tho folly of Lot's wife turn
ing back Is all too apparent, but if
wo aro to gain true life we must lose,
turn our backs upon, a worldly life.
Attention has been called to the fact
that the word "lose" (v. 33) 1b the
ono ordinarily translated "destroy."
proving that the l'lblo word "destruc
tion" does not mean annihilation. We
might well call verses 34 nnd 35 the
account of a "Bller.t migration." At
his first return there will be Bomo
strange sopnratlons. One taken, an
othor left. Such separations often
havo linen realized when men accept
Christ; whon Christians find them
selves separated from their old com
panions, for his Bake, but most of all
'twill bo when Christ shall burst upon
the world at his second coming. Jesus'
reference to the "body" (v. 37) means
the dead and corrupt state of things
and "tho eagles" to the Instruments
of judgment.
Summary. Quite emphatically this
passage is a teaching on tho subject
of the coming of tho kingdom of God.
That kingdom camo when Christ camo
in grace. It will como when he comes
In Judgment It is coming constantly
between tjio two advents. Remember
his reading of Isaiah's prophecy, Luke
4:18. 19; cf. Isa. 61:1-9. In his first
advent ho did come to preach tho ac
ceptable year, the year of grace. That
day Is still with us. In his socond
advent ho will proclaim. tho day of tho.
vengeance of God. He will establish
the kingdom, will build the waste
plfices and raise desolations. Today
tho kingdom of God is among ub in
power through the preseuco of Christ
by tho spirit in the living church.
To tho PharisoeB he said: "Neither
shall they say, lo hero! Io thoro! for
tho kingdom is In your midst." To
his disciples ho said: "They shall say
lo thero! lo here! go not away nor
follow thorn." Wo cannot localize tho
kingdom. On an ancient Syrian frag
ment tho words of Luko 1:33 read,
"and to his kingdom there shall bo
no frontlor," On tho lips of the Phari
sees, kingdom moant n political or
ganization and empire,' With Jesus it
raeatiB a splrftunl realm universal in
extent, a rule of righteousness, nnd
