PERFECTION Perfection has never yet been
reached in the history of human experience,
but we are daily striving to attain that de-
sirable end. In many lines of effort humanity
is showing a decided advance as the years go
by, and even in articles of common necessity
the aim is visible of a striving after what is
best and beautiful. Not many generations
ago, our forefathers, wives and daughters
considered themselves happy if they had the
opportunity of clothing their feet with a

then no such luxury as our Sacramento ladies
can now boast. Something very near per-
lection has been reached lately in ladies'
shoes. being French kid, side-laced and side
buttoned shoes, of the very finest quality, a
perfect fit-indeed, literally gloye-ftting'-
and in every way desirable These goods can
be had only from Weinstock & Lubin, Me-

community only short time ago, yet to-day

that this CITY has ever seen, and their
popularity is Just. They have lately received
another grade of side laced shoes, at the low
price of 81 so a pair, which bid fair to follow
the lead of the finer goods.

\ Lady's Slipper Worth $500.

THE most curious plant in the month
ly exhibition of the New York Horticul-
tural Society, on Tuesday, was the
Cyclopedium Cordalium, or Gladys
slipper" belonging to Mrs. M. j..
Morgan of this city. 1t is two feet
high, and the gray foliage, tinged with
pink, resembles slipper with the hind
half of the sole bare, and has pendant
tail foot long. The plant is valued at
$500, and is native OF the East Indies.
Mrs. Morgan, %ohn Henderson, and
Halleck Il Thorpe were the premium
winners. Mr.. VIM. Bennett read an
essay on horticulture, in which he said
that the countries of northern Europe
acquired their first knowledge of it from
the Romans, who, together with the
Greeks, had in previous centuries
obtained it from the Persians. of the
celebrated hanging gardens of Babylon,
he said that all that remained of them
was heaps of earth. Horticulture had,
he observed, made great progress in
New York within the past thirty years.
President Samuel Sloan said that but
little progress had been as yet made
toward fund for the purchase of
new hall, but he had hopes that the

The delay in unwinding the yarn from

The Biggest Fool in America.

JAMIE WEIGH, bold teamster, living
on Woodbridge Street East, was sitting
on his doorstep the other eveningawhen
along came a stranger who picked up
something from the walk.
"Was it hair-pin We found at my
door?" demanded Mr.. WEIGH.

''It rolled from me pocket, and am

man moved on.
Mr.. Welch followed him and argued
and fattered, and when that wouldn't
do he put his fists at work and ham,
mered the finder until he gave up the
coin. When he returned home and told
his wife she claimed half, and there was
family row which brought an officer
and an arrest.

Court, after the story had been told.
The prisoner handed it over, and af-

Religion is Practical.

SOME people there are who make
their life dreariness and barrenness
by specializing when they ought to
work, by neglecting or refusing to lead
Christian lives because there are un-
fashionable mysteries in being, and in
finite opinions concerning the unknown
things of eternity. "What thou know
est not now thou shalt know hereafter"
is not cOnsoling promise to them.
They are schoolboys who will not learn
letters because libraries appal their i'm
aglnations; laborers who stand idle be-
cause their work, whether bridge or
house, is certain to perish; husband.
men who SOW no seed because they can
not understand the processes of growth;
children who will not walk until the
motions of the planets are explained to
them. The analogies are slenderly
drawn; but in real religious idleness
or sinfulness the analogies are far more
slender.
Religion is matter of life. 1t is in
tensely practical. The speculation
(called thinking) that men build around
it is usually no part of religion. Take
it all down, and the everlasting moral
law, and the need of everlasting love.
will still remain; and every notion of
the soul or hand will have its two poles
OF right and wrong and it's central sun
of loving light and warmth. And, as
in things called practical and every day
matters, In matters of religion also it is
folly to waste energy and loss of time
in speculation. Any laborer has infinite
nsoluble (by him at least) mysteries in
his hands. If he pause until he UNDER
stand these things, he will never know
them. So, whoever insists that there
shall be no mysteries in the things of
God, and no strife or tongues St;1l.
laundering round the world, when he
begins to love and serve God, this man
will be u sinner until the day of judg-
ment.
Just such practical needs as those
which prompt men to sow the seed,
urge men to be righteous in life and
perfect in love. The next meal must
be provided by the laborer; the next
minute will demand Christian grace.
Living well is stream of an inner
fountain whose waters must be sweet
ened by divine influences. And there
is the same practical argument for re-
ligion as for the commonest practical
work. 1t is experimental; and in each
realm the experience of others ought to
guide us. That the seed will multiply
itself when cast into the earth is pure
ly experimental fact. That the soul
seeking Christ's power finds new and
sweeter fountains in its own life-this
is also thing of experience. The good
men and women around us are, like the
harvests of our neighbors. practical
motive to Christian living. Y. Meth
Odist.

Helping the Deaf to Hear.

DIR. q. H. THOMAS, of Philadelphia,
has been making study of the various
new devices for helping the deaf to hear.
All of them, he says, depend for their
action upon the principle of acoustics
that solids vibrate in unison with the
sound waves produced in the air near
them. In these instruments the vibra-
lions are of sufficient force to be audible
when conveyed to the internal ear
through the medium of the teeth and
cranial bones, independently of the or
binary channel of hearing. He saws
that a simple and excellent instrument
for the purpose " consists simply of
rod of hard wood about two feet long
and quarter of an inch thick, one end
Of which is placed against the teeth of
the speaker, the other resting against or
between the teeth of the person hard of
hearing. If the speaker articulates in
natural tone of voice, the vocal yibra-
lions will be transmitted in great vol
ume through the teeth and thence to the
ears of the deaf person. 1t will also
convey the voice distinctly when placed
against the forehead or other portions
of the skull of the nearer. 1t will also
convey perfectly audible speech from
the skull of one to that of the other. or
such sounds may be conveyed by sim
ply bringing the heads themselves in
contact. Again, instead of the speaker
holding it against his teeth, he NAV
place it against the upper part of his
chest, when, upon using his voice, the
sound will be conveyed as before, Of
course independently of the teeth OF
either person."

Gems OF Thought.

The bed of death brings every human
being to his pure individuality Web
Ster.
If man have love in his heart, he
may talk in broken language, but it will
be elCquence to those who listen.
EVERY rose is an autograph from the
hand of the Almighty God on this world
about us. He has inscribed His thoughts
in these marvellous hieroglyphics which
sense and science have been these MANY
thousand years seeking to understand.
Theodore Parker
WE must not hope to be mowers,
And to gather the ripe gold ears,
Until we have first been sewers,
And watered the burrows with tears.
1t is not Just as we take it
This mystical world of ours;
Lites Held will yield, as we make it,
A harvest of thorns or flowers!
How GREAT seems the weight of diff
hculties that are to be met; and how
insignificant appears the whole sum of
them when they have been overcome,
and have become nothing more than a
memory! When we are perplexed, and
give way to anxiety and worriment con-
corning troublesome questions as vet
unsolved, we are ready to say, as the
quaint old prayer says of the weight of
our sins, "the burden of them is intol-
cradle. " But when sober thought has
succeeded worry and irresolution. and
prayer and courage have conquered the
impending difficulties, we no longer
magnify triding circumstances until
they seem insurmountable. but clearly
see them in their real significance. 1t
is then that we feel and express real
gratitude to God for His aid-but are
not faith and courage beforehand quite
as much duty as thankfulness and
security VterUard? Almost anybody
can be grateful-even animals cln feel
a Keen sense of enjoyment when COM
forts have been received; but to trust
Tod for aid in troubles and trials yet to
come is not so easy. And yet conf
dence for the future is a far better test
OF faith than the most sincere thankful
ness for the past. If you are not as
willing to 6elieUe that which will be, as
to perceive that which has been, then,
IN effect, you regard God as the ruler OF
Yesterday, but not of to-morrow.-S. S.

Cultivating Children's Taste in Read
ing.

A WISE parent can train his children
to an interest in any book that they
ought to be interested in. 1t would not
be fair for him to expect, in every case,
the same books to please and profit a
quiet and sensitive laughter and wide
awake and adventurous son. He ought
to consider the characteristics and needs
OF his children severally, and then Sc
lect for them books suited to their COM
prehension, and to their necessities of
being. Nor is it enough for him to
pick out the proper book and put it
into the hands of his child. He should
talk over its topic in advance, or by
some suggestion or inquiry should SO
excite an interest in the book or its
writer, that his child would have a de-
sire to become possessed of its contents.
or familiar with its style. And there
should be a timelness in the mention
OF particular books to add to their pre-
liminary attractiveness. A
timely and judicious mention Of good
books, in the sphere of travels, or of
natural history, or of Christian biocra-
ply, or of missions, would induce al
most any child to turn with interest to
the book thus named to him; and a few
CHEEKY words of encouragement as he
proceeded with it, or few kindly oues-
tions about its contents thus far. would
keep up his interest, and perhaps make
HIM DESTROYS OF something else in the
same line of reading.
TO large extent all this applies to
the Sunday-school teacher as well as to
the parent. The teacher has a re-

THE SABBATH.

Oh heart of all the week!
Whence strength and gladness flow
To beautify all other days,
And make their graces grow,
In thee is full supply
OF life-blood for the seven,
Thy healthful pulses lift the weak
Nearer to God and Heaven.
Oh fount Of pure delights
From thee such sparkling streams
Gush through the driest, dullest day,
That fair and bright it seems.
Thou waterest all the days,
Thou freshest of the seven
And drawest from unfailing springs
Which have their source in Heaveni
Oh glorious sun of days!
Thy glad and steady hight
Shines down the vista of the week,
Through morning, noon and night.
No day so sad and dark
Though darkest of the seven
But thou canst shed through all its hours
The radiance of Heaven.
oh heart of all the week!
Oh fount SO fresh and free!
On glorious sun of all the daysl
How cling our souls to thee!
Cheer still our earthly way
Each day among the seven,
And let us never lose thy light
But in the light of Heaven.
