USED TOBACCO AS INCENSE American Indians Inhaled Furnee as They Burned the Fragrant ‘'Weed" to Their Gods. Smoking was a habit acquired by European nations from the ludlaug o’ America. In 1492 Columbus found them using tobacco, not as Is now done, but as an incense burned in honor of their deity. . 'tobacco smoking began as a religious rite. Tobacco was used by the Indians much us oriental nations made use of myrrh or fraukiucence in their religious observances. Voyagers to America after Columbus revealed different customs In the tobacco habit. It was discovered thut Ip certain parts of tlie continent the natives Inhaled the incense until they became exhilarated or even Intoxicated by the fumes. This meant for them that they derived inspiration from the good pleasure of their deity. The honor paid to the deity came back upon them In exhilarating profusion. From that step was not far to ascertain that Incense offered to a god could be employed as a medicine. It was drawn into the month through a hollow tube —a kind of pipe—and then expelled as stmAlng. To the rationalizing European it was left to transmit the poor Indian’s worship into an ordinary pleasurable habit. GIVE STIMULATION TO GENIUS Toxins Manufactured In Man's Own System Powerfully Affect the Associative Faculties. Genius is a question of sensitization of protoplasm—it goes back to physical fact. And the foundation of tiie greatest cathedral of beauty ever eroded by tin- mind of genius rests squarely upon the flesh <if a man's Lodv, writes Jeanette Marks in the Yale Review. Sensitized protoplasm vibrates in answer to outside impressions, with concentric waves of varying diameter. The stimulated, sensitized protoplasm sets the associative faculties to work, and the bigger this associative faculty, the bigger the genius. It is just here in the morbid stimulation of protoplasm that toxins. drugs, alcohol, enter in. Disorder reigns supreme, chaos, noise, nervousness, near-madness, through the stimulus of some toxins manufactured in a man's own system. Tea, coffee, drugs, alcohol, seein temporarily at least to put the mental furniture in order, to bring harmony where there has been disorder. Opium is not genius. Madness is not genius. But both would sometimes appear to have the power to act as umpire for genius where its right to go forward is in question. And it would- seem that tlie purchasing power in dreams was even greater in insanity than with either alcohol or opium. Cork Fabric. Not so long ago we saw a description in a foreign paper of a fabric which was made from cork by a recently discovered French process. It was said to be waterproof, a non-con-ductor of heat and unbreakable. By using a special machine, thin Slices of cork are placed in chemical baths to remove tlie resinous parts which make cork more or less brittle. Upon tlie rgjuoval of the resin tlie sheets of cork become flexible and may be compared in that respect with leather. In fact tlie sheets may be folded and bent without breaking. By combining ilie cork sheets with any suitable doth, preferably a thin nnd strong cloth of good color, an excellent waterproof material may be obtained. According to the description given an adhesive preparation is employed to glue the cork to tlie cloth; or if a stronger garment Is desired, the cork sheets are placed between two layers of cloth. Longest and Shortest Days. The days generally known as the longest and shortest days of the year are tlie days which occur when the sun is farthest removed from tlie celestial equator. There are two such points in the ecliptic, one where it touches the tropic of Capricorn and the other where it touches the tropic of Cancer. Tlie former is known as the summer solstice and tlie latter the winter solstice to those who inhabit the northern latitude and vice versa. The sun attains these two points on .Tune 21 and December 21, which are commonly known as the longest and shortest days of the year. Divers in Ancient History. The earliest mention of diving Is made by Homer, about 850 B. C,, in the-“lliad,” when Patroclus compares the fall of Hector’s charioteer to a diver diving for oysters; and Thucydides tells of (livers being used to remove submarine barriers placed with the object of impeding or injuring the Grecian fleet at the siege of Syracuse. These divers had no apparatus save a stone to carry them quickly to the bottom and to cling to for tlie brief period, about two minutes, they could stay below. Tills Is called natural diving and is still in use for collecting sponges and pearls at Ceylon and in the Mediterranean. Reindeer Good Travelers. Surprising records have been made by Alaskan reindeer in long distance travel, and also In speed tests, says Carl ,T. Lomen in the National Geographic Magazine. Indeed, for short distances, the deer can outrun the dog or horse. At an annual reindeer fair in Alaska two deer pulling a sled and driver made five miles in 14 minutes 32 seconds, and ten miles in Ji minutes 20 seconds.

Love Is of God, for God is love. God not merely lovey, but he is tlie fountainhead of love. Love of eouutry, love of humanity, filial and parental love, every particle of love,ex eryw here lias bei ti derived from God; his love is infinite, eternal and unchangeable. Since love Is of God, exerxune who lox es is born of God and knoweili God. The Christian, by Ids life of love, interprets God to the world. It is not enough (hat tlie world should be told that God is good and kind, it should see ids nature expressed in tlie life and love of the disciple. The Christian's life is the world's Bible. Where love is wanting, knowledge of God is w anting. 11. hod’s Manifestation of Love (vv. 9, 10). God's method of making known his love is through tlie Incarnation —tlie sending of ills only begotten Son into the world to be the propitiation for our sins (John 3:10). The coining of Jesus Christ into the world and his taking on human nature makes possible life for those xvtiu receive him. If We would know God's love, let us look at Jesus Christ. T hose who gaze upuu him in reverent contemplation cuuuut doubt God’s isve. 111. The Supreme Motive of Love (v. 11). - God’s love is the grand incentive prompting ids children to love. IV. Love the Proof That God Dwells With Us (vv. 12-16). 1. No man hath seen God at any time (v. 12),,but there is abundant proof of ids being. The one unmistakable proof of his being is love ill tlie heart of man. Love is not native to tlie human heart, for tlie heart is deceitful above all tilings and desperately wicked (Jer. 17:9). Out of the heart proceeds murder (Marr. 15:19). Love in tlie Jieart is proof that God dwells within. 2. Love proves that God’s Spirit is witldn us (vv. 13-16). The fruit of tlie Spirit is love (Gal. 5:22). God’s Spirit dwells witldn his children. Tlie indwelling Spirit shows us Christ and makes us believe in Idm as God s Son. the Savior of tlie world. Those in xx liom God dwells will always make tids confession. Those who deny the Deity of Christ have no fellowship with God, nnd those who have fellowship witli God will confess Christ as ids Divine Son. V. Love's Relation to the Judgment, (vv. 17, 18). ft casts our fear. A judgment day is coming, for God hath appointed a day in which lie will judge tlie world in righteousness by that man whom lie hath ordained (Acts 17:31). It will be a terrible tiling for those-unprepared to meet God at that time, lint for those who are indwelt by the living God there will be it joyful meeting. He that dwelleth in God and God in him will realize tlie perfection of love iu boldness in the day of judgment, be ( titise us iie'is so are we in tills world (vv. 10, 17). Tlie way to get rid of the fear of meeting God in the judgment is to be living with God now. VI. God's Love the Ground of AU Love (v. 19). The reason we love is that our lives have come into touch with the great fountainhead of love. 'The incoming of God’s being and nature becomes die animating and controlling principle of our lives. The one in whom love is not tlie master principle does not know God. VII. The Child of God Possesses Dual Love (v. 20). The proof that one loves the unseen God is thut lie loves tlie person visible who bears tlie likeness and image of God, and lias become a member of the same family through tlie redemption in Christ Jesus. Love to God and man fs united in the one breast of the Christian. JThe one who hates his brother while pretending to love God Is a liar. VIII. The Solemn Command From God (v. 21). God commands that those who love him should love their brethren. Obedience to tliis command will eliminate ull war and contentions. Life. Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, tlie small obligations given habitually, are what preserve tlie heart and secure com fort.—Sir H. Davy. Our Great Blecsing. There is nothing that makes more for human happiness than the simple fact that some one needs us. that some task is holding us fast. We may ignorantly think of it as a bm'deu, but It U our great blessing.

For quickness of delivery of automobiles; for greatey ease in setting shipments iu northern Indiana cities and towns; and for better all-round service in tlie securing of automobiles for retail selling, dealers in the northern part of this state are finding Fort Wayne the logical distribution center.
