More than t.wo-thirds of all the men in the civilized world shave themselves ©r are shaved by barbers, therefore the razor is an implement always in good demand. Few know how to choose one. Dr. Edouard Di Prato, who has used imany hundreds, went into a cutlery etore near City Hall park, in New York, Jto make a purchase of 25. "Please let me see your stock," he said. Several dozen large cases were placed before [him. He took each razor for examina tion. All looked alike. They were tnade by one firm and guaranteed, but he cast aside more than half as unde j8irable. In testing he laid the blade [flat upon his thumb nail and drew it (Slowly from end to end, pressing just firmly enough to show the hardness or softness of the temper. At first it seemed that he was about to sever his thumb. Satisfied with the temper, he proceeded to flip the edge with the tips of his fingers, making a tuning fork of ithe metal. If it had the right ring he accepted it. "It took me 25 years to ilearn this," he said.—N. Y. Post. Study of Ordinary Clay. An investigation emending over many years has shown H. J. Cambie that all ordinary clay loses it& cohesive proper ties on being dried until nearly all its moisture is expelled. On being drenched with much water such clay be comes almost liquid mud but clay that has not been so dried does not absorb jmore water, and loses only some of its outside particles in the washing. A 'block of the dry clay absorbed 50 per cent, of its weight of water without jchange of form, suddenly collapsing into !a fluid condition when the iamount reached 60 per cent. Landslides and washouts seem to be largely cfiue to this overlooked change in clay and river [bluffs remain unaffected because the clay ^has never dried sufficiently to acquire the property of soaking up an excessive .proportion of water.

There is no doubt among naturalists "that" many insects have certain senses (that human beings have not. The sense of location shown by the wasp, for ex ample, is remarkable. The bpmbex species builds its nest in a sandbank •,1 that is only a part of several acres of mti such soil, and, when it leaves in search of food, it covers up the nest so care fully that no ordinary eyes could dis tinguish its location that is to say, it Is just like all the surrounding.surface And yet the wasp flies back to it with out hesitation, and finds it without mak ing a mistake. There is another wasp that unerringly locates the eggs of "the mason bee under a thick layer of sun baked clay, and deposits her own eggs the same cells that^fcer young may jMMpe food when they are hatched.: Plastering, two-coat work.

Deadly Diphtheria Culture Affect Man Doomed to a ferent Death. Did Dif- Not In the experience of Dr. Adolph Gehr mann, of the Columbus laboratories, there has been at least one man under his observation who, born to die by a bul let, has been immune to thegerm of diph theria under most aggravated circum stances. Dr. Gehrmann was speaking of the in frequency of laboratory infection of any kind, and, failing to recal one instances of such infection where it had occurred in laboratory work, he recaleld a case where, in class in the College of Physi cians and Surgeons, an act that ordinari ly would be classed as suicidal was made simply a story for laughter, that the sub ject of it might become the victim of an Arizona bullfet several years later. Before a class in the school on that particular morning a specimen of diph theria was passed down the line in a cup with a small brush in it, in order that the students might put a touch of the matter upon the slides for microscopic examination of the germs. This particu lar student, yrho seemed to have been marked for an Arizona graveyard, mis took the purpose of the cup and brush. When it was passed to him, thinking it was a wash in the treatment of the dis ease, and desiring to feel its effect, he took the brush, opened his mouth wide, and swabed his throat vigorously. "We got him out in a minute and ap plied antiseptics until you couldn't rest," said Dr. Gehrmann. "The whole per formance had been so unexpected and so horrible that the class was stampeded for a moment. As for the student, he*was a big, husky fellow, and he was less con cerned than most of us. Well, the infec tious matter didn't feaze him. There were no consequences following it, and the boy went the. even and uneven tenor of school life to the point of graduation. Then he took to the even an,d uneven tenor of life in Arizona, and in a mixup with a native a few months later he was shot and killed. "It doesn't prove anything, of course," admits the doctor. "It leaves us guess ing, as we always have been guesing, over the question and possibilities of pre destination. But at least this example that I have spoken of is made the strong er from the fact that the man escaped diphtheria and died by. a bullet. To es cape a bullet and die by diphtheria would not have seemed have so significant"— Chicago Tribune. How to Drive Away Ant*-.

Memor^ Verses, 4-6—Gulden Text, Ex. xx, 13—Commentary Prepared l»y Rev. I). M. Stearns. (.Copyright, 1903 by American Press Association.] After the everlasting, unconditional covenant made with David concerning his son, wlio would be Israel's Messiah, and the kingdom of righteousness, as recorded in our last lesson in this book (chapter'vii), we read of David's great prosperity and righteous roign (viii, 15). Then comes the record of his great sin and repentance, the sin of Amnon and his death at the hands of his brother Absalom, after which Absalom fled to the king of Geshur and remained there three years, but through the pleading of the wise woman of Tekoa, employed by Joab, he came back to Jerusalem and dwelt two whole years without recon ciliation to his father, after which, through Joab's intercession, the king became reconciled to him, saw him and kissed him (xiv, 28. 33). Absa lom signifies "father of peace," but his conduct suggests one who is of his fa ther the devil (John viii, 44). The king's kiss to Absalom was the loving kiss of a heartbx*oken father welcoming his erring son, but the kiss of Absalom (if he did kiss his father) was like the kiss of Judas when he betrayed his Master. This is the third time in four teen years that we have had this por tion of this chapter assigned as a lesson instead of the much more helpful and suggestive portion following, but are asked today to study verse which is some improvement. The ^tory of Absalom is one of ceit and lying and treachery and rebel lion even against his own father. Per haps there was no one more: wicked. His unscrupulous self seeking, even the cost of his father's life, is sugges tive of the devil, who would if possible dethrone God, and who will yet seek to do so ere the age closes. Make a care ful and prayerful study of the follow ing passages and be ever on your guard against all such manifestations. Isa. xiv, 13, 14 Dan. vii, 25 viii, 24, 25 xi, 36 II Thess. ii, 3, 4 Rev. xiii, 5-7 xvii, 14 xix, 19, 20. There are many fore shadowings on a small scale—politi cians who will not take up a matter without first considering how it may affect their own political prospect those who, for their own ends, by good words and fair speeches, deceive the hearts of the simple those who under pretense of worshiping God have only in view their own promotion and possi bly the overthrow of some just person. How desperately wicked must have been the heart of Absalom, who, with, profession of devotion to God on his lips and his father's blessing sounding Jn his ears, goes forth to carry out his devilish designs against his father. Yet there is an ever increasing multitude who are disobedient to parents and in open rebellion against God (II Tim. ill, 5). But as truly as David returned and sat on his throne in peace (xix, 14) so shall our Lord Jesus return and reign on David's throne, and the work of righteousness shall be peace and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever (Isa. ix, 6, 7 xxxii, 17). There are many ahithophels (fool ish brethren, the name signifies) who stand high before men in relation to the king, but who, while outwardly profess ing allegiance, are really on the side of the enemy. Let us turn from the dark picture of self and sin to the faithful few who said to David in this dark hour, "Behold thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint," and to Ittai, who said, As the Lord liveth and as my lord the king liveth,. surely in what place my lord' the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be" (verses 15, 21). To mere natural sight it "ooked dark for David, but God had promised that the kingdom would be established for ever, and there were some who had faith in God and were also ready to die with David rather than live with Ab salom. The time was, and in China only two years ago, when to live meant to deny Christ, but many confessed Him and died for Htm. See in Rev. xiii, 15-17, a description of coming days, and see in Rev. xiv, 9-11 xv, 2-4, the future of those who deny Christ In order to live and the future of such as die for His sake. May we have the spirit of Ittai and of Ruth and of Elisha (Ruth 1,16,17 II Kings ii, 2, 4i 6, 9), and may our determined stand be that of Paul in Phil, i, 20 iii, 8-10. Note David's sub mission and recognition of God in this great trial, "Behold, here am I, let Him do to me as seemeth good unto Him" (verses 25, 26). Over the same brook Kidron (verse 28 John xviii, 1) Went the Son of David on the night of the agony in Gethsemane and the be trayal by Judas Iscariot^ and the faith ful followers were very few. From the same Olivet (verse 30) the rejected Christ returned to His home in heaven, and to the same Olivet Will He come again to overthrow His enemies and establish the promised kingdom with Jerusalem as a center (Acts 1,11, 12 Zech. xiv, 4), therefore let us obey Isa. lxii, 6, 7 David's going barefoot is suggestive of his acknowledgment that this was all of God, and God must manage it, for it is His affair. He knows how to per form His every purpose, and it becomes us'to put off our shoes in His presence, as He said to Moses and to Joshua (Ex Hi, 5 v, 15). We have come to a place of great rest when with true humility and absolute confidence in God, we cau go day by day with unshod feetr.ac knowledging that the whole life and all its service, passive or active, are of God all appointed and prepared for us and we have only to walk with Him in it.
