Good Humor.

Good humOr is rightly reckOned a
most valuable aid to happy home life
An equally good and useful faculty is a
sense of humor or the capacity to have
little fun along with the humdrum
cares and work of life. We all know
how it brightens up things generally to
have a lively, witty companion who
sees the ridiculous points of things and
who can turn an annoyance into an
occasion for laughter. 1t does deal
better to laugh over some domestic
mishaps than to cry or scOld over them.
Many homes and lives are dull because
they are allowed to become too deeply
impressed with IA sense of the cares and
responsibilities of life to recognize its
bright and especially its mirtbful side.
Into such a household, good but dull,
the advent of a witty, humorous friend
is like sunshine on cloudy day.
While it is always oppressive to hear
persons constantly striving to say witty
or funny things, it is comfortable, see
ing what brightner little fun is, to
make an effort to have some ut home.
1t is well to turn an impatient question
sometimes, and regard it from humOT-
Gus point of view, instead of becoming
irritated about it.
"Wife, what is the reason | can never
find clean shirt ~ exclaimed good
but rather impatient husband, after
rummaging all through the wrong
drawers.
His wife looked at him steadily for a
moment, half inclined to be provoked
then with cOmical look she said:
~ never could guess conundrums; I
give it up"
Then he laughed, and they both
laughed, and he went and got his shirt,
and he felt ashamed of himself and
kissed her; and then she felt happy
and so what might have been an Occa-
sion for hard words and unkind feelings
became just the contrary, all through
the little vein of humor that cropped
out to the surface.
Some people have a peculiar faculty
for giving humorous turn to things
when they are reprOved. 1t does just
as well 0ttentimes to laugh things off
us to scOld them off. Laughter is bet
ter than tears. Let us have little
more of it at home.-Saturday Euening

Don't be Too Sensitive.

TheIe are some people, yes, many
people, always looking ont for Sights.
They can not carry on the daily inter
course of the family without finding
that some Offense is designed. If they
meet an acquaintance who happens to
be preoccupied with business, they at
tribute his abstraction in some mode
personal to themselves, and take UNI
bragg accordingly. They lay on others
the fruit of their irritabiIity, and see
impertinence in every one they come
in contact with. Innocent persons,
who never dreamed of giving offense,
are astonished to find some unfortunate
word, or momentary taciturnity, mis-
taken for an insult.
To say the least, the habit is unfortu-
nate. 1t is far wiser to take the more
charitable view of our fellow beings.
and not suppose that slight is intend
ed, unless the neglect is open and di-
rect. After all, too, life takes its hues
in great degree from the color of our
own mind. If we are frank and gener-
Gus, the world treats us kindly; if, on
the contrary, we are suspiciOus-men
learn to be cold and cautious to us.
Let person get the reputation of being
''tOuchy," and everybody is under re-
straint, and in this way the chances OF
an imaginary offense are vastly increas-
ed.-Alidnce.

p Of M. Victor Hugo, Mrs. Hooper
tells this anecdote A good many years
ago the father of the present head of a
Partisan publishing house, was offered
manuscript by pale young man
with a large forehead. The publisher
glanced over the pages and saw that
the work was in verse. Without at
tempting to read it, he handed it polite
ly back to the young author with few
of the usual phrases about poetry being
drug in the market, depression OF
trade, ETC., etc. ~ am sorry for your
sake," said the young man impressively,
as he pocketed the rejected manuscript.
81 was about to propose to you con-
tract by which l would have assured to
you the right to all the future produc-
lions of my pen. 1t was a fortune that
was about to offer to you-but you
refuse, and so no more need be said"
He bowed and withdrew. The pub
Usher, struck by his manner, reflected
for a moment, and then fastened after
his visitor to call him back. But he
was too late-the young man had al
ready disappeared. "Never before OF
since," the old gentleman was wont to
say when relating this story, "have l
ever met with young author who so
fully believed in his own powers, nor
with one that had so much reason for
such belief, for my visitor was Victor

Banged Hair.

A little while ago we were reminded
of our Indebtedness to heather women
Tor the fashionable wrist ornaments
known as "bangles." Let us retuln
thanks this time to the Sek-hOan wo-
man (China) for the peculiar style OF
arranging the front hair in so-caIled
bangs" with which so many of oul
young ladies are pleased to cover up
their broad, fair foreheads. And to
these young friends we commend the
addition of the "blue cloth" to produce
that unity of effect which in these DAYS
Is thought so desirable. Mrs. Ritchie
writes, in the Messenger and Missionary
Record (LondonD ''The women at the
three Po-sia stations part their hair
across from eaT to ear, combing it down
over the forehead to the ewes. The
back hair is twisted up in a knot on
the top of the head. Then thew nut on

I Know that Thou Canst Do Every
thing.

1t is great thing to really believe
that the Lord can do everything. 1t is
easy to admit this truth in a general
way 1t is not so easy to rest on it as
practical matter in all emergencies.
A great many of Gods children have
limits to their confidence in Gods abili-
ty. They see insurmountable obstacles
to his action in the line of their special
needs or longings. They are not ready
to say in all confidence that he can sup
port them Just us well without property
as with it, that he can make them Just
as happy in bereavement us while THEN
loved ones were with them; that he
can utterly change the characteristics
of those with whom they have to deal !;
that he can give to themselves wis
dom and strength and faith they
have never dreamed of possessing that
he can make them as useful in his ser
vice, can open to them as grand a
sphere of opportunity and efficiency
foundings, as if they were in any other
position, or with any other possessions
and possibilities in the world. Yet if
God can be trusted for anything, he can
be trusted for all things. There are no
limits to his power. He can help us in
our every need.
The Lord gaze job t'DiCe as much as he
had before. Gods best blessings for
his children are never in the past. They
are always more in the later days than
in the former. Whatever is taken away
is more than made good by what is Civ
en- in its stead, to those whose patience
and faith fail not. There are times
when it is hard to realize this when it
seems us if our loss of loved ones, of
property, of health, of position, of
friendships, and, more than all, of con
tidence, could never be replaced or
atOned for. But then is the time to say
with Job, Though he slay me, yet will
/ trust in him." BY Gods blessing there
may come to us holy peace in be-
reavement, an uplifted and ennobled
character through suffering, an enjoy
ment in the sacred memory of the de-
parted, Il recognition of Gods wise plan
in our severest trials, and higher APP
probation of the loved ones still left to
us, so that the heart, with all its EVA
cant places" shall be fuller and gladder
than ever before. A heavenly treasure
gained through the loss of earthly pos
session, or spiritual health sent in place
of bodily, makes one richer, not poorer.
Greater nearness to God because of the
disfavor of men is an added blessing. A
friendship which failed may be more
than made good by one which God
sends and confirms as not to be doubt
ed. Even for the life that now is, the
believing follower of Jesus shall find
fresh and larger blessings continually
awaiting him; and his path shall shine
'more and more unto the perfect day."
When most destitute and forsaken he
may look confidently to yet receive at
the hand of God at least "twice as
much as he had beforen-H. @. TruDa-
bull, in S. s. Times.

Points in Etiquette.

Never wait over Is minutes for tar
dy guest. :,
Upon leaving a room one bow should
include all.
Upon introduction at once enter into
conversation.
A note requires as prompt an answer
as spoken question.
Glazed cards and paper are not used,
nor are gilt edged ones.
"Genteel" and "gentility," are words
tabooed in good society.
Regrets in reply to invitations should
COL tain the reason therefor.
"Yours truly" is the correct form fol
closing business, not for friendly letters
Begin letters to strangers with "Sir'
or Madam" to those you have some
knowledge of, "Dear Sir" etc; to
speaking acquaintance, "Dear Mr.,
etc. to friends, my Dear Mr." etc

The Liquor Question.

The liquor question to-day is the
most vital question connected with our
present civilization, and we believe that
the time has now come, as predicted by
the great Chancellor WalwOrth, when
he said that the time would come when
rejecting men would no more think of
making and vending ardent spirits than
they would now of poisoning a well
from which II neighbor obtained water
for his family, or of arming a maniac to
destroy his own life or the lives of those
around him and that it is the duty of
every church, school, Sunday school
and temperance organization in Ameri-
ca to accept the challenge thus thrown
at our feet, with which legalized vice
assails us, to our shame, and fight it
out on the line of prohibition, the only
remedy for this crying evil, and we ask
statesmen and philosophers, as mat
ter of state policy, to join and fight out
this issue and save our nation from

A Boys Dental Experience.

1t was little eight-years-Old boy of
Schuyler Falls, who struck his first
wave of trouble a few weeks ago. He
had the toothache. His fond parents
urged him to "have it out" At first he
refused to entertain the proposition.
Somehow, perhaps by intuition, he had
conceived the idea that pulling teeth
hurt. o, no, his fond parents said it
wouldn't hurt at all he would hardly
feel it it had no roots; it just stuck
to the ''goOm,n etc. This is way some
parents have. Finally he consented,
on condition that he should have lots
of candy. So his father took him to the
old doctors office. The boy was in ex-
cellent spirits, and the kind hearted
doctor praised his grit as he disguised
the fulcrum of his turnkey" with his
pocket handkerchief. The patients
mouth was opened willingly, the old
hook was introduced, and after ire
mendous tug the big double tooth was
ripped from its mOorings. The boy
WAS astonshed, and to say that he
yelled and hollered, and screamed and
tore around, but fecbly expresses the
thing. Then he seized his cap and
started for the door. Hold on" cried
the father, ''ain't you going to pay the
doctor? ?" 'Gaul dunn him !" came back
in broken tones as the door slammed,

~ An extraordinary specimen of the
genius tramp turned up at Danbury
last week. When arrested and searched
nine pairs of pants, Il dozen vests and
an equal number of coats were removed
before the searchers came upon the
framework of the man himself. These
articles of clothing, with the contents
of their pockets, weighed some 200
pounds, and the officers turned out of
them rubbish of all sorts in quantity
sufficient to fill an ordinary -four bar
rel. Amid the various bits of old iron,
rusty scissors, knives, etc, were found
$l47 in greenbacks.
