Hunting for a Place.

A good many people spend all their
life hunting for the place in this world
which they were intended to fill. They
never settle down to anything with any
sort of restful or contented feeling.
What they are doing now is not by any
means the work that is suited to their
abilities. They have sunny ideal of
a very noble life which they would like
to reach, in which their powers would
find free scope, and where they could
make very bright record. But in
their present position they cannot do
much of anything; and there is little
use to try, their life is humdrum and
prosy routine, and they can accomplish
nothing really worthy and beautiful.
So they go on, discontented with their
own lot an signing for another; and
while they sigh the years glide away,
and soon they will come to the end, to
find they have missed every opportun-
ity of doing anything worthy of an i'm
mortal being in the passage to eternity.
The truth is, ones vocation is never
some far off possibility. It is always
a simple round of duties that the pass.
ing hour brings. No day is common
place if we only had eyes to see it's
splendor. There is no duty that comes
to our hand but brings to to the posi-
bility of kingly service.

The Massachusetts bureau Of statistics of
labor made careful examination of the influ-
ence of liquor on crime in Boston during the
year 1880. The points examined were as fol-
lows: 1. Whether the criminal was under the
influence of liquor at the time the crime was
committed; 9. Whether the criminal WAS in
liquor at the time he formed the intention to
commit the crime; 8. Whether the Incorporate
habits of the criminal were such as to lead to O.
condition which induced the crime; 4. Whether
the intemperate habits of others led the crimi-
nal to condition which induced tho CRIME.
s. What were the drinking habits of hecriminal,
whether total abstainer, moderate drinker, or
excessive drinker. In each criminal court of
Boston an agent was stationed to gather infor-
nation on these points. The result is thus
summarized: The total number of sentences
for the year was 16,897. OF these 1921 were
sentences for the various grades of drunken
ness and sixty-eight for keeping or selling
liquor without license. Of the remaining
4,6Oa offences, 2,097, or forty-6ve per cent,
were committed by men under the influence of
liquor, and ], 1913 by men who were in liquor at
the time of the formation of the criminal INTENT
In 1904 cases the Incorporate habits of the
offenders were such as to induce moral con-
dition favorable to crime, and 821 were led to
commit crime by the example Of Incorporate
men. OF the 1908 convictions, the total alb
stainers numbered 1853, the moderate drink
ers 1913. and the excessive drinkers 1877.

The Flea.

(From the Boston Transcript
This insect belongs to the genus Pelex.
When he gets on your arm, you Pule1-

also for tho insects leave. The flea has
a strong love for man, but he manages
to get over his attachment. He is
leper. In olden times they used to
drive the leper out Of the synagogue.
When the flea gets on you, he sets sin
agog in your heart. The flea is para

therefore, to see Paris sight. Fleas
are very plentiful. You remember that
Mary had little lamb whose feas were
while as snow. In ancient times, how
ever, the golden fleas we're very scarce,
and consequently much sought after.
There can be no doubt about the habit
of this social insect, for does not the
Bible speak of it as the "hea, from the
wrath to Gomez" And again is it refer
red to as the wicked flea" which "no
man pursueth." But we prefer not to
dwell on this subject. Neither do we
wish to have this subject dwell on us.
We might, ere long, have a flea in our
ear should we not stop.
