"Take care of baby now , Tommy , and don't let anything hurt him , " was mamma's parting In junction. Presently screams of anguish from baby sent tbo distracted parent flying to the sand lot. "For goodness * sake , Tommy , what has happened to the baby ?

Father Was an Invalid. It had been a bard day in the field , and father and son were very hungry. The only things eatable on the table were 12 very large apple dumplings.

It takes considerable courage for a doctor to deliberately prescribe only food for a despairing patient , Instead of resorting to the usual list of med icines. There are some truly scientific phy sicians among the present generation who recognize and treat conditions as they are and should bo treated regard less of the value to their pockets. Hero's an Instance : "Four years ago I was taken with severe gastritis and nothing would stay on my stomach , so that I was on the verge of starvation. "I heard of a doctor who has a sum mer cottage near me a specialist from N. Y. , and as a ladt hope , sent for him. "After ho examined mo carefully ho advised mo to try a small quantity ol Grape-Nuts nt first , then as my stomach ach became stronged to eat more.

Prof. Weston Has Delved Deeply Into Ancient Records and Is Satis- fled as to Correctness of Time. Prof. L. II. Weston of Portland , Ore. , makes a very Interesting calcu lation , nxlng the date of the cruci fixion of Christ on April 18 at noon , In the seventy-fourth Julian year , or the twenty-ninth year A. D. Ho docs It by computing the position of the sun and moon. According to Prof. WcHton , the full moon occurred at 7:41 : , Jerusalem mean time , on the 17th day of April , 71 Julian. This was a Julian Sunday , and was the thirteenth day of the moon by the Jewish calendar. It was a rule or law among the Jews that the day began at sunset ; hence the cnlcn- , dar of Callppus Invariably called that day following the sunset Immediately after full moon and a Sunday ( sun's day ) . Thus the full moon occurred at 7:41 : In the morning of the 17th of April , Julian year , and that In the cal endar of Callppus was the thirteenth day of the moon , or the one before the fourteenth , and was a Jewish holiday. The Passover was always celebrated on the fourteenth day of the moon next following the solar Ingress Into the llrst degree of Aries , the vernal equinox , and It must always , by law , he celebrated on the fourteenth day of the moon , as shown on the calendar calculated by the priesthood. In the Julian year 74 the sun en tered Aries nt 25 minutes after 5 p. m. on March 22 , which was a Tuesday. The new moon following was at 19 minutes after 1 p. m. , April 2 , a Sat urday. Full moon , then falling on the seventeenth nt 19 minutes to 8 a. in. , shows Tertulllan , the Latin historian , to be correct In alllrmlng that the 'Passover feast was on the eighteenth of the calends of April. Again , says Prof. Weston , modern ecclestlastical authorities on chronol ogy find It Impossible to assume that Christ was born later than 4 B. C. , and Tertullian clearly states the nativ ity occurred In the forty-first year of the Axigustnn monarchy and the twen ty-eighth after the death of Cleopatra , thus In the seven hundred and fiftieth year of Rome , or 4 B. C. , Christ was more than 32 years of age , for his ministry began the third year before the crucifixion. He was 33 years old In 29 A. D. Irenaeus says the crucifixion was at the end of Daniel's 70 weeks of proph ecy. This ends about the commence ment of the sixteenth year of Tiberius and the second year of the two hun dred and second olympiad. More ex actly , the slxeenth year of the reign of Tiberius began on August 19 , 7 * Julian , and the first year of the two hundred and second olympiad ended on July 14 , 74 Julian , and this date also ended Daniel's 70 weeks. But the crucifixion was at the passover , three months before the end of the olym piad. Irenaeus used round numbers and the fractional year is one-fourth minus. Accordingly , says Prof. Wes ton , it would seem impossible to sot any other date for the crucifixion ol Jesus Christ than Moiiday , April 18 Julian year 74 , at noon ( sixth hour ) , Jerusalem. The Stork and the Eagle. "A West Philadelphia teacher talking about wild animals and birds to a class of little girls , " said Secretary tary Dick of the board of education It relating some of the amusing IncI dents thai happen In the publlo schools. "She had told them about the car 'iilvorous ' animals and beasts of the Jungle and began asking questions about birds of prey. " 'Can anyone in the class tell me , she asked , 'what bird It Is that Is so strong that It can fly down out o the sky and carry off a small chih with ease ? ' "There was a moment's pause , am then a little girl in the rear of tlio classroom frantically raised her hand " 'I know , ' fairly shouted the brigh pupil , under stress of great excite ment , 'It's the stork , 'cause one of 'em brought a baby to our house las night !
