ONE baby born every three and one-half minutes every day in the year is the way New York City did her share in 1907 toward the propagation of the human species. Deaths occurred only at the rate of one in five and one-third minutes, and from that it will be seen that the big city would be able to grow with considerable rapidity, even if immigration ceased. Accidents last year resulted in 3,919 deaths; there were 284 murders ami 711 suicides. There was a marriage every eight and one-third minutes. The largest single cause of death was consumption, which had S.999 victims. Organic heart diseases caused 7,237 deaths. Human Life.

So it seems that organic heart trouble is next to "consumption" in the cause of deaths and yet people will continue to drink coffee when the ablest men in the medical profession have time and again stated that "caffeine in coffee is frequently the direct cause of organic heart trouble."

The injurious action of coffee on the heart of many persons is well known by physicians to be caused by caffeine. This is the drug found by chemists in coffee and tea. A woman suffered a long time with severe heart trouble and finally her doctor told her she must give up coffee, as that was the principal cause of the trouble. She writes: "My heart was so weak it could not, do its work properly. My husband would sometimes have to carry me from the table, and it would seem that I would never breathe again. "The doctor told me that coffee was causing the weakness of my heart. He said 1 must stop it, but it seemed I could not give it up until I was down in bed with nervous prostration. "For eleven weeks I lay there and suffered. Finally husband brought home some Postum and I quit coffee and started new and right. Slowly I got well. Now I do not have any headaches, nor those spells with weak heart. We know it is Postum that helped me. The Dr. said the other day, 'I never thought you would be what you are.' I used to weigh 92 pounds and now I weigh 15$. "Postum has done much for me and I would not go back to coffee again for any money, for I believe it would kill me if I kept at it. Postum must be well-boiled like directions on pkg. say, then it has a rich flavour and with cream is fine." Read "The Road to Wellville," found in pkgs. "There's a Reason."

OFFICIALS USED A CLEVER METHOD Sold Ink Marked Stamps Sicilians Who Were Under Suspicion. to SCHEME WORKED OUT WELL loledo, Ohio, Jan. 22. The trial of the fourteen members of the alleged Black Hand conspiracy yesterday was marked by thestimony of victims, who told of their payment of monev in compliance with threatening letters and the story of on? detail in the postal inspectors scheme of detection. D. C. Mahon, postmaster at Dennison, testified that, acting under the instructions of Postal Inspector Oldfield, he marked 2.1 stamps wjih a red ink dot on the letter 'O" in the word "two," and gave them to the stamp clerk with instruction to sell them to no one but, Augustiui Marfisi and the two Vioarias. The witness identified one of these stamps on a letter received by Mateo Rini, of Cleveland. One count of the indictment against the fourteen defendants is based on this letter. On cross-examination Mahon said that the Vicarios conducted Marfisi's business for some months in HiO during Marfisi's absence in Italy. He Paid $1,500. Other witnesses testified to the payment of .?1.-"4X to Salvatore Arrigo, by Fabiano Chincola: the presence of certain defendants in Marion. March .

The Sunday School Commentary

SERMOX.JAN. 23, BY This so called "Sermon on the Mount," in which we are to have sis consecutive lessons, might be entitled "The Laws of the Kingdom" and Is followed in chapters viii and ix by some features of the kingdom in the way of various healings, for when the kingdom comes "the inhabitant shall not say. I am sick" (Isa. xxxiii, 24. The first four chapters of this gospel might be entitled the genealogy of the Kiag, the birth of the King, the herald of the King and the victory of the King over the god of this world. The precepts of these chapters shall be fully lived out in the kingdom when it is set up on this earth and should be manifest now in those who by His precious blood have become Joint heirs with the King. Although the multitudes were near Him. it is evident from verses 1 and 2 that He spoke these words to His disciples and not to the multitude. Compare Luke vi. 20. but do not confuse these two sermons. la the one He went up into a mountain and sat down and taught, but in the other He came down from a mountaiu and stoxl in the plain. The two discourses are in many J respects the same as to the teaching. but they were spoken at different times, under different circumstances, and yet in both cases to His disc-lples. What folly for an unsaved person to say, "The Sermon on the Mount is my religion: the Golden Rule is my motto." If the Ten Commandments written on tables of stone with the finger of God! are a ministration of death (II Cor. ill, 7. 9). what about these came commands as explained by our Lord in this discourse, in which He says that a sinful look is as much the breaking of the command as a sinful act? The law was not given till the people were redeemed by blood from the land of bondage, and God never sets Ills law before an unsaved person but to condemn him. that as a lost one he may receive Jesus Christ, who is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that belleveth (Rom. x. 4. Such only are the truly "blessed" according to Ts. xxxil. 1. 2; Rom. Iv. 6-8. Then we have seveD characteristics of these blessed or happy people which correspond with the seven petitions in the prayer of chapter vi. 9-13. The prayer begins "Our Father," and only redeemed people can say truly these words. All others come under the bead of John Till, 44. Only the poor In spirit can say from the heart, "Hallowed be Thy name," for others prefer to exalt their own name. We pray, "Thy kingdom come." but we mourn because of the curse which rests on all the earth till , the kingdom comes. The meek y?ho

Christian EndeavorHome Missions

BY REV. S. Topic Does religion pay? I Cor. ill. 18-23. Comment by Rev. Sherman U. Doyle, D. D. Does religion pay? This Is a most practical question. It is also very important. Men are interested in what pays. Speak of anything almost and the first question asked will be, "Will it pay?" A millionaire was once asked to make a subscription to foreign missions. He wanted to know how much was spent on missions in a year and how many converts were made. Figuring out the cost of each convert, he asked, "Does it pay to convert the heathen at so much per head?" It was a heartless, cruel, cold blooded way of looking at the value of an immortal soul, and it need scarcely be added that the man who would estimate the soul's value in dollars and cents did not think it paid and therefore made no subscription to the mission fund. Opposed to such a conception we canuot but quote the words of Christ. "What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" I recently visited Christian parents who had Just lost a son of remarkable talents and most loving disposition. They were naturally grief stricken, but in the course of the conversation the bereaved father said. "All the millions of the world could not comfort me today as my religion does." In these two illustrations we have summed up the opinions of men concerning the paying qualities of religion. The man who estimates the value of religion on a money basis is a fool and does not know what religion is. The man who has it and can apply it to his heart amid the trials and bereavements of life is the only man who can place a true estimate upon Its value, and to him it is priceless and Invaluable. There are those who in deciding their attitude toward religion sit down aud ask: Will it pay? Will it pay in business? Will it advance me socially? Will it lead to prominence? If 'they conclude that it will be of temporal advantage they profess religion, but do not possess It. If they see no temporal advantage in it they reject It. They consider themselves wise and clever men. but such "wisdom of this world is foolishness with God." But to the man "hungering and thirsting after righteousness." whose "soul longs for God" and whose heart craves peace with God through Jesus Christ and who obtains these spiritual blessings, religion is his most valuable possession. Pay? It pays better than any other investment he has ever made. It may cost a heavy price self sacrifice, the impossibility of dishonestly attaining great wealth, the loss of earthly hopes and glories yet it gives back 'nfinitely greater joys and hopes and glories than it cost. for. reconciled to God iu Christ, "all things are his," whether the world or life or death or t-hL-s r .or itinirs. to come: all A KOTRE CAUE LADY'S APPEAL To a"J ksowia; sniferers of rheumatism, whetser &:asaiar or of the joints, sciatica, lambafus. bacitache. pains la the kidneys or neuralgia pains, to write to her for a home treatment which has repeav?d!7 cured all of these tortures.

Christ is the light of the world (John rill. 12: ix, 5: xil. 46. and we can only be light to any one as we behold Him and reflect Ills light, and herein the moon, a faithful witness in heaven. Is a good illustration. The light roast first shine in our hearts, and it is the entrance of Ills word that giveth light (II Cor. iv. 6: Ps. cxlx. 130). Then the light must shine in the bonse or home, then before men more generally and then into all the world that God may be glorified.

How vast a part of what is worst in modern society is due to lack of moral courage. Where true love is kindled every fac ulty brightens. Religion is to put heart and courage into us, both to work and to pray. Its no use trying to irrigate a desert with tears. Some piety aspires so much it can not perspire. The faith that can be bidden never stays healthy. If you are a saint you will want to be something. Habitual regret simply puts the beadlight on the tail end. The only way to keep faitb sweet Is to keep it in service. They who go out to hit the high places land on the dump. It's wise to be afraid of the spirituality that fears morality.

GREAT LOVE STORIES of HISTORY By Albert Pay son Ttrhunm

JAMICL JOHNSON AND MRS. PORTER Copyricht. by a Aataar.) A tall. bony, hideously homely young man of 26 and a short, fat, painted and powdered woman of .44 were riding from Birmingham to Derby. England, one day in 1735. to be married. The woman first complained that her escort rode too fast. Then, when he checked his hore'a speed, she rode ahead, calling back to him that he va riding too slowly. "1 am not to be made the slave of your caprices!" roared the bridegroom wrathfully. He set spur to his horse and galloped out of sight around a turn in the highway. The woman, weeping, caught up with him at last, only to receive a sound scolding and a warning that her future husband was not one of those story-book swains whose love thrives on ill treatment. After which the sobbing bride and scowling bridegroom rode on. side by side, to the church in Derby, where their wedding was to occur. It was an odd beginning to married life and promised scant happiness for either of the two. Yet their wedded years were more than ordinarily Young Husband hrih f? . " . was Samuel Johnand Elderly Wifo. 8)n theeccwlrk!i scrofulous son of a bookseller, and destined to become the most famous personage of his day. The woman was Mrs. Elisabeth Porter, a plain, unprepossessing widow with children as old aa her young husband. Indeed. Johnson is said to have been In love, earlier, with one of her daughters. In courting Mrs. Porter. Johnson had told her frankly that he was penniless and that one of his uncles had been hanged. She replied quite as frankly that she waa no richer than he. and added that, while none of her uncles had been hanged, several of them ought to have been. Johnson waa wretchedly poor. He was dirty and slovenly in dress and had boorish manner. His experience with poverty and with the ingratitude and ridicule of his fellow men embittered him and made him cynical and cross. He failed in venture after venture and began to look on mankind as his enemies. But, throughout, he worshipped his elderly wife. He was blind to her ugliness, ber bad temper and the fact that she waa 20 years older than he. To him she was always beautiful. The paint that ahe plastered half an Inch thick on her cheeks he regarded as the soft blush of youth. When she was over 50 be wrote her a letter beginning "My dear girl! and In the same epistle called ber "My charming love!" The couple went to London. There, for years, they nearly starved. Johnson bent his mighty intellect to menial literary tasks to keep them alive. Little by little he won fame aa a writer. England ran; with praises of his essays and books. Tet the criticism be prized . above all and the praise that most delighted him waa his wife's. Two persons with such tempers could not live without disputes. Some one once asked Johnson if be and bis wife ever quarreled. Johnson sized up their marital situation by answering the query in one word: "Perpetually!" He grew enormously fat. His face waa twisted and scarred by scrofula. His linen was dirty and his clothes unkempt. Tet, to the last, bis wife was bitterly Jealous lest bis sapposed charm of looks and manner might lure some designing woman to fall In love with bim and win bis heart The sight of these two ugly, ridiculous people, each believing the other a miracle of grace and beauty, convulsed literary London with laughter.
