spondent says: Go into a room where
you will be quiet and alone; get some
book that will interest but not excite
you, and read for two hours aloud,
keeping your teeth together. Do the
same thing every two or three days, or
once a week, if very tiresome, always
taking care to read sloavly and dis

RetributfOn.

A quietly-dressed lady passed down
the aisle of a crowded car, looking for a
seat. Presently she came to one occupied
ny fnely-dressed young woman who
sat directly in the middle of it, talking
to friend in the seat before her. The
young lady looking for seat said very
politely, "Is this seat engaged?". The
young woman, without Offering to move
along, or rise to let her pass, said, in a
careless and exasperating tone, looking
impudently in her face, "No. Do you
want to come imp Offended by her
tone and manner, the lady blushed with
displeasure and passed on. By this
time q gentleman acquaintance had
found her a seat, which she accepted.
"Did you hear how that woman an
swered me?" she said, Indignantly.
" 1 could not have believed that one of
my own sex would be so rude. And
the best of it is I know her by name,
and, if she had known who I am, she
would have been very polite to me-.
She is henamored of my cousin, and is
doing her best to secure him as hus-
band. 1 am afraid she has made mis-
take in not being civil." - Mark the Sc
quel: The young lady during the day
joined her cousin, and in the evening
they were returning home on the train,
when in came the other young woman,
and, at once catching sight OF the young
gentleman as she entered the door,
smiles wreathed her couutenance. He,
not knowing what had happened, rose
and saluted her cordially, and at once
introduced her to his companion. Why
did she turn pale, then red2 She sim
ply saw what q fool she had been, and,
if she failed to see the unreasonable
depth of her folly, it was revealed to
her when, afterward, the favorite cousin
of the man she wanted for sweetheart
said coolly to her, !" I noticed you on
the train this morning" There was no
longer any doubt that she had" been
recognized, and that her rudeness
would be reported to the ears to which
Of all others she desired it n ot to- come.
So,a you see, if you are not polite from
principle, it is well to Be 30 from
policy. The man or woman who is in
yariably civil and obhging need fear no
awkward adventures like this one. Sc

A DeyOut Act.

A SINGLE thought sometimes decides
the destiny of life for good or for evil.
A very striking illustration of this
truth is given in the recent biography
of Horace Bushnell ....
When Mr.. Bushnell was a young
man, an instructor in Yale College
very successful and popular -there was
a period of general religious interest in
Hartford. Most of the tutors and pro-
fessors in the college were personally
interested in the work; but Mr. Bush
nell and a circle of young men. whom
he greatly influenced, stood doubtfully
aloof The prevalent tone of feeling
was very earnest and impressive, and
Mr.. Bushnell began to feel that it in
volved serious personal responsibility
to him.
Under this feeling he shut himself in
his room to conscientiously consider
what he ought to do. He faced his
doubts bravely and honestly.
g Is there any truth that do be-
lieve?" said he to himself.
"Yes, there is this one; there is GER
tainly a distinction of right and wrong,
that have never doubted, and | do
not see how | can doubt it. If that is
so, have | ever taken the principle of
right for my law?
II have done right things as men
speak; have | ever thrown my life out
on the principle. to become all it re-
quires of me?
ono, l have not; consciously have
not. Then here is something for me to
do. No matter what becomes of my
questions; nothing ought to scome of
them if | cannot take principle so in
evitably true, and live in itr'
He kneeled down in his room and
prayed in deep sincerity to the God who
had before been but dimly seen by him,
to help him.
The prayer was answered He was
influenced, as God always influences
and helps those who sincerely seek
Him. When he rose from his knees, it
was with new light in his soul and a
new purpose in life.
He called the young men to his
chamber who had been influenced by
his friendship, and told them what he
had done, and that his life in the future
must be given to the service of Divine
Master. They were impressed, and
went with him to the church. What
followed, so far as the young men were
concerned, do not know, but out of
this devout and conscientious purpose
grew the noble, pure and helpful life,
which in DR.. Bushnell all must admire,
however any of us may differ from him
in religious theory and Doctrine

The Most Perfect Example Of Christian
Architecture.

On September 4, 1912, nearly six hun
dred years after the first foundation
stone of the Cologne Cathedral had
been laid, the King himself Frederick
William ". laid the second, in the
presence of brilliant assemblage of
civil and ecclesiastical potentates, and a
vast concourse of spectators, amid all
the grandest musical and ceremonial
splendors of Roman Catholic worship.
From that day forward the work pro-
ceeded steadily, and was taken up as a
matter of national and indeed of Euro
pean interest. The Queen of England
was among the royal contributors, and
herself assisted to place bracket in
the center arch of the north front. The
present Emperor has not, we believe,
shown less zeal in the matter than his
predecessor, and it is certainly unfor-
tunate that the existing religious COM
plications of Germany should prevent
his taking as prominent part in the
conservation of the completed fabric as
the late King took in the laying of the
new foundation stone some forty years
ago.
On the architectural and ornamental
details of the building we have no space
to enter here. To our own taste, we
must confess, the immense height has
always seemed to require greater
length for the due proportion and effect
of Gothic church. Nor does it i'm
press us, as whole, with the same aw-
full solemnity as some of the older ca
thedrals, both in the North and South
of Europe. But it would be ungracious
at this moment to indulge in criticism in
recording the completion of what has
been called GO the most perfect example
OF the most perfect period of Christian
architecture" and which is unique
alike in its structure and it's history
According to Protestant Prussian Off
cial, quoted by DIR. Doellinger in his
"Lectures on the Reunion of the
Churches" it is destined to be no less
unique in its prophetic import. 81 am
certain" he wrote, that the time will
come, before the newly inserted stones
are nodded, when common TIE Deum
will be sung in the Cathedral of Co.
logne."
Certainly there has been something
remarkable, and most unexampled, in
the friendly cooperation during so
many years of German Catholics and
Protestants, headed by their Protestant
sovereign in carrying this great national
work to its completion. But there are
no signs yet visible of the Culturkampf
ending in feast of reconciliation within
the walls of the newly consecrated
nave. Meanwhile Cologne, which has
been called I" the Rome of the North, ~
may be congratulated on possessing a
cathedral, differing widely indeed in
style, as BELTS northern cline, but not
unworthy, for beauty of detail and mag
nificence of proportion, to take rank
even with st. Peter's.-London Satur-

THE New York Graphic takes up this
line of discussion: "Man's apparel,
as well as woman's, is open to improve
ment. His regular everyday attire is
not free, unfettered working dress. 1t
is too stiff. There is too much starch
and pasteboard for comfort or free play of
limb. Any dress impeding the work
ing of any part of the body is directly
unhealthful. The proof that mans
dress is to some extent shackle is the
fact and custom that if there's anything
to do demanding muscular exercise, he
must pull off not only his coat but his
collar, cravat and sometimes shirt. Our
pedestrians, our base ball players, our
polo players, our yachtsmen on duty,
all in order to do their best are obliged
to strip themselves of portions of their
conventional attire. If this be neces-
sary for the fullest muscular eXertion OF
a few hours, why is it not equally neces-
,sary for any hourP How much weak.

IN THE DARK.

MIDNIGHr brooded weird and lone;
Nothing broke the wintry gloom
Save the drOwsy monotone
OF the clock, as, one by one,
From its steady hands the minutes fell into my
silent room.
Close beside the larger bed
Stood the cradle in its place;
Mid its blankets, softly spread,
Lay the babys golden head,
And his light breath, coming, going, gently
famed against my face.
Something in the darkness stirred,
Warmly nesting at my side
Like ii little sleepy bind,
Ma.nma,' very low the word,
Hush aud darkness made the narrow space be-
tween us seem SO wide. t
Then murmured, as he lay,
Mammals close beside you, dear;
Soon the night will go away,
BY and by it will be day,
In the morning when my baby wakens mamma
Will be here
Wandering fingers toward me crept;
- Mammal let me hold your hand"
Clasping il he soothed and slept;
Clasping his could have wept,
Humbied by That perfect trust which needed
not 10 understand.
Years have passed me by since then;
Long the little bed has stood
Empty, silent; yet, again,
Thrilling deeper than my pain,
Comes the tender voice to Danish every bitter,
doubling mood. I
Through the voicelesS hush of death,
Through life's midnight dark and dim
Turning unto Christ who saith,
To each asking soul, "Have faith,
Eeavenward reach my longing, cropping hui
man hands to Him.
Does He take them? Ay, He does!
All the chasm deep and wide
Spanning by His love that flows
Freely for all human woes,
l shall wake in Heavens bright morning with
my baby by my side.

History OF the Beard.


In the earliest Pagan times the print
tive deities were represented with ma
jestic boards. In France they played a
great role from the reign of Pharamond
downward. i Under Clovis, indeed, the
beard OF the King was an object of pc
culiar generation, and, indeed, every in
dividual was more or less sensitive re-
garding his beard. 1t is related that
after the great battle of Tolbiac, Clovis
sent a deputation to the defeated Alaric
requesting him to come and touch the
victor's beard as a token of alliance.
Far from accepting the invitation in the
spirit in which it was offered, the en-
ragged King of the Huns seized the
Frankish emissaries by their boards and
hauled them out of the room by their
revered locks. The unfortunate ENJOYS
returned rather crestfallen to Clovis,
narrated what had happened, and swore
"on their boards" to avenge the af-
front. In subsequent reigns the beard
was the object of numerous enactments,
and the fashion of wearing it was
changed as frequently. Sometimes it
was worn long, sometimes close-clipped,
now peaked, now plated, or even
decorated with pearls and gold trinkets.
Even in the sacred atmosphere of
Rome itself boards were the object of
considerable discussion. Different Popes
laid down different rules on the subject.
One Pontiff enacted that no boards were
to be worn; another as stringently di-
rected that the razor was never to be
applied to the chin. Saints Clement of
Alexandria, Cyprian, Jerome, and
Chrysostom engaged in vehement con-
troversies about the mode of wearing
the hair about the face in the fourteenth
century. In France the final triumph
of boards dates from the Renaissance,
when the example set by the great art
lists, who largely INDUCED in these APP
pendages, was closely followed by the
sovereign and other magnates of the
land. Under Henry III shaven chins
were the mode, the mustache being
worn long and dropping. During Hen
ny Tvs reign boards, cut square, came
again into fashion, and mustaches were
curled; while under Louis XIV boards
were again tabooed, and the mustache
alone worn, and in the two following
reigns the razor was in full use. Under
the Republican regime, as also under
those of the Empire and Restoration, no
boards were grown. They came in
again, however, with the Revolution OF
1880, in company with many other
changes of costume, etc., and at the
present day no universal rule exists on
the m natter. -L0ndon Globe.
