THE TIME TO BE EXAMINED.
The Press of this country will urge
the people to observe an innovation
called "Examination Day."- The date
will be announced in every newspaper
in the land. If the writer is not mis
taken, the time set for every person
to call on a physician for the purpose
of finding out by means of an examin
ation whether health or disease is pres
ent will be in the month of December.
"We agree with the promoters of the
idea that we should all find out by
means of an examination by a duly
qualified physician just how the case
of state of health stands. "We do not
agree as to the question of when the
examination should be made, in other
words, we differ on the question of
time. "We believe that time is the most
important factor in the matter, if any
factor can be said to be the most im
portant. Omnipotence has not endowed
us with the knowledge that we shall
be able to complain as late as Decem
ber, 1915. In fact, the worms may be
feasting upon our remains in a few
hours. The real truth of the matter is
that many of us are being eaten by
pus producing microorganisms as we
walk about in a state that can accu
rately be called a living death. Pus

The Young Men's Bible Class Club

The time to be examined is like the
time to prepare for the. final examina
tion at the judgment seat of Jehovah.
It is like the time to visit the sick or
the time to cease to do evil or the time
to learn to do well. It is. now, today.
Each of us and every one of us instinc
tively gives himself many examinations
each day. We all try to obey the old
injunction of the Greeks "Know thy
self" but our own examination is li
able to be prejudiced. Therefore our
own examination of ourselves cannot
suffice. The poet Burns saw a louse
on the hat of a fashionably dressed
woman in church and wrote the fol
lowing lines:
"Oh would some power the giftie gie
us,
To see ourselves as ithers see us."
There are those who are trained to
look for the corruption that destroys
the body. They should be sought be
cause of their fitness. Keep your effi
ciency up to standard by regular period
ical examinations by your family doc
tor. Many diseases are insidious and can
only be detected by a very careful and
thorough examination. If treated ear
ly and vigorously such diseases need
not have a fatal termination; they may
be absolutely cured by being nipped in
the bud.

Portland Cement.
In the manufacture of portland
cement, clay or shale and limestone
are ground together and "burned" In
rotary kilns. The cement comes from
kilns in the form of hard, black, semi
vitreous lumps, or "clinker." When
pulverized this clinker becomes a gray
ish powder, which Is the familiar ar
ticle of commerce employed for a great
variety of purposes in practically every
type of building .construction.. It has
long been known that the fineness to
which the cement is ground Is one of
its most important characteristics, and
consequently specifications require that
75 per cent or more of commercial
cement shall pass through a No. 200
sieve, which has 40,000 openings per
square inch. This- is the practical
limit of mechanical sieves .In respect
to fineness, for although finer sieves
can be manufactured the necessary
uniformity in size of openings cannot
be attained. It is well known, how
ever, that the minute particles of
cement, which are just capable of pass
ing through the openings of a No, 200
sieve, are still too large to be of value
: as cementing material when mixed
with water. Hence the really valuable
portion of the cement consists, in the
extremely fine powder, the amount of
which can only be inferred from the

Sacred Mushrooms,
The "sacred mushroom" of the Az
tecs, which was called by them teona-
niacatl and used as an Intoxicant, was,
according to investigations recently re
ported, not a mushroom, but the nar
cotic cactus. Lophophora williamsli.
now well known for Jts use by the
American Indians in religious ceremo
nies. It Is popularly called "mescal
button," though a better name Is peyote.
Early writers on Mexico described It as
a mushroom, and this notion as to its
botanical status still survives. The
mistake is due to the fact that in one
of the two principal forms in which it
is prepared the head of the plant is
cut off transversely, and when dried
it bears a close resemblance to a mush
room. Ln Its other form it is cnt longi
tudinally or in irregular fragments and
was described by early writers as raiz
dlabolica. or "devil's root"

was a strange, ill balanced person.
Vernon Lee says of him that he had an
Incapacity for holding his tongue on
irrelevant matters,, which is a sign of
intellectual weakness. He had also a
marked Incapacity for keeping his irrel

ative onesi to himself, which Is a mark
of moral vulgarity. He had a manifest
tendency to talk big and at the same
time to mix slang with grandiloquence
in situations where no humorous effect
could be obtained by this proceeding.

by his great subtlety of thought his
tragic depth of feeling and occasion
ally his marvelous power of seeing and

Breslau's Checkered Career.
This history of the possession of
Breslau shows that it has changed
h.'.nds very often. Early in the
elventh century it was made the seat
of a bishop and after having formed
part of Poland became the capital of
an Independent duchy in 11B3. In
1335' it was purchased by John, king
of Bohemia, who retained It until 14C0.
it then changed hands and became
Subject to Bohemia once more in 1490,
passing with the rest of Silesia to the
Hapsburg3 in 1526. It came under
the authority of Frederick the Great in
1741 and was recovered by Austria in
J.757 and regained by Frederick In the
Seven Years' war. It has since been
Prussian, except a few days In 1807
and again in 1813, when it was held
temporarily by the French.
