John outlived alt ol the twelve Dt» ciples. His Epistles, written tWor* the Revelation, and his < ;.>»[>• I <wrtilen alter it) are a precious legacy to the Church through ibis vem-raled companion of the Christ. In his old cVc. Saint John was ban isned by iht Emperor iKimitian. and condemned to labor In the mine* or. the Isle of Patinos. After hi* relea*.. he returned to Ephesus, writing his matchless Gospel to supply what seemed to be lacking In the earlier three Gospels.

A more general reading ol John's writings would do much to remedy the evils of there troublous limes.

FROWN ON TOO MUCH LOVE Family Authorities In Japan Discourage Anything Like a Surplus of Conjugal Affection. The general rule of life Is that the woman stays when her husband loves her, but there la one Utt*.- country in the world where tha women not Infrequently are sent home by their Inlaws because their husbands love them too much. That country la Japan, we are told by Amos S. and Sosnnne Hershey In th.-lr book on riodern Japan. Ttda paragraph, one of many Interesting ones or. the Island kingdom, describes the jertlrular condition which sometimes sends the little Jap wile back to her ov u people: “In considering the Japanese famUy one must hear in mind the complete absence of romantic love in marriage and the absence of romantic gallantry In the feudal code of the Sarourol. K love develop* during wedded life It must not appear In open demonstration. and whenever the demands of duty are pressing affection must be renounced for the higher duty. Indeed, it uaa not been an uncommon occurrence for a wife to be sent home because her husband was too fond of her, as too much affection for a wlf* was considered a sign of weakness tnd demoralization In the husband, which might lead to neglect of other family obligations Of loyalty and cblvzlry there was plenty In Bushido or the Way of the Warrior—but It was always between lord and vassal, master and servant, and never Included women, at .cast not during the last ten centuries."

Thus the task of pro curing an egg Is one Involving utmon danger. The species, a gigantic vulture, has been almost exterminated. Cattlemen and sheepmen poison carcasses to destroy wolves and bears; the condors eat the bait and die. Tbat an ostrich egg may be dangerous.
