QUIET, USEFUL LIvES.-It is not
necessary that one shall be widely
known and gazetted before he shall be
entitled to the reputation of having
lived a valuable life, and Of having ben
efcently impressed his fellOw-men. In
quiet places, pursuing his way purely
and peacefully, living honestly in the
sight of all men, and honoring God by
life of devotion to his gospel, he may
be more truly useful than many others
who are living in the eye of the public.
And no lesson needs to be more insisted
on in these days than the simple one
that if men or women even though they
be in the humblest situations, will be
true to their environments, they will
receive the ''well dOnen of Heaven. 1t
is not publicity, it is faith in Christ
and devotion to his name, that brings
the heavenly recognition.
The tall flag or rush grows up by the
roadway in the summer, and no travel
er passes it without remarking upon its
hasty growth and unusual size. 1t has
battled with the winds, it has Haunted
a garish flower, and it has afforded a
resting-place for bird that chose it for
its nest. That is all !; and it falls under
the early frost and disappears. The
grass-blade on the hillside, although so
much smaller, has had a much nobler
mission. No one ever stopped to see
or praise it, and it afforded no special
attraction or help to any one, not even
a bird. But it was one of those which
gave the slope its verdant beauty,
which sweetened the summer air with
fragrance, and which made the land
scape rich and joyous under the sum-
mer sun. Like it, the quiet life, lived
among many other similar lives, is a
valuable one. And it will be remem-
bered as beautiful and benefcent when
many a noisy and prominent one, like
the coarse rush of the roadway, has
sunk into the dust and obivion.-Ihe

Dangers of Newspaper Reporting.

There is danger in making reports of
speeches in advance of their delivery,
as was shown in the Springfield Repub-
LEANS report of the Cummington CEN
tennial. Gov. Talbot was obliged to
leave the grounds before the poem was
delivered, and therefore was not called
upon to speak yet the Republican re-
porter, who left the grounds at about
the same time, reported him as fol-
lows =
'The interest of this part of the pro-
gramme of course centered in the re-
Spouse of Gov. Talbot to the Common
wealth of Massachusetts, in which he
feelingly returned thanks for the hearty
welcome accorded him in the presidents
address of the morning, and alluded in
terms of fond remembrance to the DAYS
he spent as a member of the old Cum
mingtOn Academy and the companions
that were with him there. Called to a
distant state on pressing business not
long since, it seemed at first that it
would be impossible for him to be pres
ent here, but by keeping the matter in
mind for days, and making other things
bend to it, he was able to come by way
OF Greenfield and Northampton, at the
expense OF considerable night travel.n
CAUSES OF SUDDEN DEATH.-Very
few of the sudden deaths which are
said to arise from diseases of the heart
do really arise from that cause. To
ascertain the real origin of the sudden
deaths, an experiment was tried and
reported to scientific congress AT
Strasburg. SiXty-six cases of sudden
death were made the subject of a
thorough pOst-mortem examination in
these cases, only two were found who
died from disease of the heart. Nine
out of &c had died from apoplexy, while
there were 40 cases of congestion OF
the lungs; that is, the lungs were So
full of blood they could not work, moi
being room enough for a sufficient
quantity of air to support life. The
causes that produce congestion of the
lungs are: cold feet, tight clothing
costive bowels, sitting still until chilled
after being warmed with labor, a rapid
walk, going too suddenly from a Close
room into the air, especially aftel
speaking, too hasty walking, or running
to catch train, etc. These causes O
sudden death being known, an avoid
ance OF them may serve to lengthe1
many valuable lives, which would
otherwise be lost under the verdict O
the heart complaint. That disease il
supposed to be inevitable and incura
blej hence, many may not take tn,
pains they would to avoid suddel
death, if they knew it lay in thei
power.-Selected.

THE GREATNESS OF TRIPLES The
best fidelity to Christ is shown in a
daily vigilant service to him in trities,
if efforts to honor him in humble, in
conspicuous services, such as in good
temper in families, sympathy with man
and beast, honesty in business, liberal
ity to servants, fidelity to employers.
These things make up the best disciple
ship. The same truth applies to many
things. The best paintings are those
where such details as the blades of
grass, the leaves of the trees, the lines
upon the water, and similar minute
points, are most perfectly delineated.
Artistic excelleney consists chiefly in
the complete accuracy which the sloth-
full or the ignorant worker cannot, or
will not accomplish. The great Italian
sculptor, Michael Angelo, was once. Wis
tied by an acquaintance who remarked,
on entering his studio, "Why you have
done nothing to that figure since was
here last" eyes, was the reply 81 have
softened this expression, touched off
that projection, and made other i'm
provements." "Oh!" said the visitor,
''thOse are mere trifles." "True," ans
wered Michael Angelo, "but remember
that trifles make perfection and per-
lection is no trifle." In like manner,
the highest forms of devotion to Christ
consist in fidelity to apparent trifes.
For only heartfelt love and abiding rec
ollectedness of Him, as an ever-beloved
object, will enable his disciples to main
tain throughout each day, in word and
company, in busy occupation and be-
fore his enemies, the duty of honoring
Him thus continuously and in the whole
details of life.-LOndOn Record.

could see a few cents more profit, have been
guilty of offering worthless substitutes for
the only original and genuine Sulphur Soap

A Remarkable Ride
IAN the Year Round.l

A by no means Indifferent performance
was achieved in 1919, by Mr.. Hutchinson,
of Canterbury, who had backed himself
to ride from Canterbury to London, just
559 miles, in three hours, employing
horses belonging to himself and his
friends, supplemented by some used in
running the Wellington coach. The
Journey was divided into eleven stages,
varying in length from five to six and a
half miles, and was eventually got
through in 2 hours rs minutes and 81
seconds, at an average rate of speed of a
mile in 2 minutes and 36 seconds. Not
at all bad work, considering what roads
were sixty years ago, and that some time
was lost in consequence of the horses
boiling now and again. Mr.. Hutchinson
returned home by coach, reaching Can
terbury-which he had left at $3.50 in the
morning-a little before 8 in the after
noon, in good cue to enjoy the dinner
provided by his admiring fellow-citizens,
who Furthermore showed their apprecia-
ton of his horsemanship by making him
free of the city.

1t was the custom of Marshal valiant,
when Minister Of War, to ask the officer
on guard for the day to take dinner with
him, not by word or mouth or by polite
note, but by notice in his own hand
writing posted up in the guard-room, and
invariably running thus: cart. |. The
officer on guard is invited to dine at the
table of the War Minister. Art. 2. The
officer on guard is received by the War
Minister; who, after shaking hands with
him, presents him to the Marshal and
the guests. Art. 3. The Marshal
always offers his arm to the officer on
guard to conduct him to the
dining-room. No matter what guests
may be present, his place on the left of
the Marshal is kept. Art. 4. Avoid offering
wine to the Marshal, who drinks only
water Art. g. On leaving the table and
going into the smoking-room, accept the
cigar which the Marshal always offers.
Art. 6. At the end of half an hour, the
Marshal always asks the officer on guard
to play game of whist, which he should
refuse, saying that it is his duty to re-
turn to his post. He ought, therefore, to
salute the Marshal and then retire"
Given his choice in the matter, probably
the guest wo Id rather have dined with
his brotheg-ofiicers than with the martinez
Minister.

The Little Forum.

Nothing is, l think, more striking,
considering how large portion Roman
history fills in the history of the civilized
world, than the small area within which
the scenes of this history were enacted.
The Forum of Rome was the focus of all,
and the Forum of Rome is not actually
larger than Lincoln's Inn Fields. The
Via Sacra through which we are told the
Emperors passed-followed by captive
potentates-with the trophies Of victory,
and long trains Of armed warriors and
slaves; where, on their way to The Cappi.
tol, the victorious Emperors proceed to
solemnize their triumphs with religious
rites-and the captive Kings were led to
their prisons, where the great annual re.
ligious professions of the people, carry
ing their images and their gods, passed
on their way to the Palatine Hill: this
great thoroughfare of imperial Rome was
only twelve feet wide."
