Home Grace.

A single bitter word may destroy the
peace OF an entire family for a whole
day, One angry glance casts a gloom
over a household, while a smile, like a
CLEAN of sunshine, may light up the
darkest and weariest hours. Like un-
expected flowers which spring up along
our path, full of freshness, fragrance, and
beauty, so do kind words, and gentle
acts, and sweet dispositions make glad
the home where peace and blessings
dwell. No matter how humble the
abode, if it be thus garnished with
grace, and sweetened with kindness and
smiles, the heart will turn longingly
toward it from all the tumults of the
world and home, if it be ever 80 hum
BILE, will be the dearest spot beneath the
clrcult OF the sun.
Let us seek grace from Jesus to check
all our hateful dispositions, and to en-
courage the growth of those graces that
shall make our homes a comfort, and a
harbor of blesedness
Kind words shall never die,
No, never die"

The House of Commons.

We have sometimes had scenes in our
House OF Representatives at Washington
but nothing that we now recall compares
with the following, of which the London
Telegraph says: "a more scandalous
scene than that which took place shortly
before midnight has scarcely occurred
even of late, within the walls of the
House of Commons.
Mr.: Dawson was pleading that women
should be excluded from the liability to
arrest for political offences in Ireland
under the Suspension of the Habeas
Corpus Act, when his somewhat romantic
manner excited the visibility OF the
House. The longer he persisted the
more energetically the House roared and
howled and Jeered at him. Mr.. Dawson
folded his arms across his breast, and de-
he'd the impatient assembly. Were the
women of Ireland, he literally screamed
out, to be laid hold of by rude policemen
and flung into prison? 81 speak as a
husband, he continued, livid with pas
sion; and the man who comes to law
his hand upon my wife will meet his
death. The groaning and shouting
continued almost without interruption
until Mr.. Dawson was forced to desist.
At midnight Mr.. Parnell made an attack
upon Mr.. Forster, who leant forward in
his seat, restraining his anger with mani.
TEST difficulty. In due course Mr.. Par
nell was likewise howled down. Matters
got so bad at last that Mr.. Macdonald
from the Liberal benches, stigmatised
the Bill as Infamous" Mr. Dalv
sarcastically observed that the difference
between his countrymen and the English
was that we appeal to the hearts and
the sentiments OF our women, while Won
appeal to their heads with your boots
on; and Mr., Merge, still amid yells and
groans, defed what he called "the COW
ardly cheers of the other side What
are yoa dning?' he went on waving his
arms Are you going to war against
lrlshmen? II so shoot us down like
dogsF DR.. Playfair blandly pointed
out to the Hon. Member that he was
out OF order, and the Hon. Member, still
to chorus of shouting, was induced to
sit down. Mr.. T. P. O'Connor spoke OF
the " tragi-comedians" of the Treasury
Bench, and of Mr. Forster having add
ed to the long list of his possible blund-
ers, and of being anxious to break up
the Liberal party as he did once before =
AT quarter to one o'clock Mr.. Glad
stone again rose to repeat the substance
OF the argument at issue, and to express
the wish of the Government that no wo-
man may be arrested. Mr.. Biggar ieered
at the Premier, and the Right Hon.
Gentleman took him to task there and
then. More uproar ensued. The Gov
eminent, said the Premier, wished to
guard the women of Ireland against being
made the tools of conspiracy. At twenty
minutes past one, Mr.. Gladstone having
gone home, Mr.. Leamy moved to report
progress.

The Golden Side.

There is many rest on the road of life,
If we only would stop to take it.
And many tone from the better land,
If the querulous heart would wake it;
To the sunny soul that is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er iaileth,
The grass is green, and the flowers are bright
Though the wintry storm prevalent.
Better to weave in the web of life,
A bright and golden filling.
And to do Gods will with ready heart,
And hands that are swift and willing,
Than to snap the delicate silver thread,
Of our curious lives asunder,
And then heaven blame for the tangled ends
And sit and grieve and wonder.

The Gospel in India.

Some OF the most satisfactory testi
mony to the success of missions in Indie
comes from eminent civilians and mill
tary officers who have been connected
with the Government or the Army. The
celebrated engineer of Southern India
Sir Arthur Cotton, who has spent sixty
years IN that country, made the follow
ing statements at a recent meeting of the
Church Missionary Society in the Town
Hall at Oxford, England.
For years after | went to India the
Government OF Madras used to send the
heads of police in state to present q
grand dress to the principal idol OF
Madras, and a collector of a district
would go out in full state, attended bv
his poems, at the annual drawing of the
idol car, and dismounting from his horse
put himself at the head of the thousands
OF poor degraded creatures to take hold
OF the great robe by which the car was
dragged, himself by far the most de-
graded of the whole assemblage. Such
was the state of things long after 1 went
to India. Compare the state of things
OF late years, when Governor Generals
have not been ashamed of their God and
Saviour, and have publicly delared them
selves most anxious to lead the natives to
turn from their idols.
:" And what has been a prime cause of
this blessed change? Undoubtedly the
Missions so despised at first have been
PRINCIPALLY instrumental in shaming the
rulers into conduct more becoming their
position as Christian men. And what
has been the effect of their labors on the
ruled? | read in Hough's India" that
In 1923 the number of Christians in Tin
nevelly under the Church Missionary
Society was l00 it is now $4,000, in
creased $50 fold. and the whole number
OF converts of this Mission alone is inst
900. and under all the Missions more
than 100000, and the increase in the last
two years has been about 100000: and
to give q more distinct idea of what is
now going on there, there have been re-
peated instances of large bodies of ma
tves, several thousands in a single To-
callty, coming to the missionary to beg
tor instruction, who, upon careful inves.
ugatlon, have shown that without the
help OF any missionary they have, from
tracts and Scriptures, become so we'll
grounded IN the great fundamental truths
that the missionaries could not refuse to
baptize them at once. There are now
large tracts of country where there are
thus scattered through the villages real
little native churches. l could give
several instances of this sort In one
place in the Madras Presidency the mis-
sSlonary on first visiting it found little
knot of ten or fifteen who met regularly
to read the Scriptures together, and there
are there now, partly in the Hyderabad
State and partly in our own, about 100
native churches in so many villages
round that place. India is thus now in
most intensely interesting state, and
there is an apparent certainty of multi
tudes coming forward to put themselves
under Christian instruction within the
next few years

A New View of Drunkenness in
the Wine-Drinking Countries.

vi the northern continental States be-
sides Germany, Belgium, and Holland
nave removed all restrictions upon the
traffic IN alcoholic drinks. The bad con-
sequences In both countries have become
so evident that in Holland a law is re-
commended which declares drunkenness
crime. In Belgium the consumption
OF alcohol since 1910 has increased from
eighteen to forty-three millions of francs,
and In the industrial countries there is
one dram shop for every six or seven
persons. Thus, in Belgium, the working
classes spend between fifty and sixty
millions OF francs for alcohol. The same
evil has manifested itself in Germany.
The free city of Bremen in 1863. abol-
lshed It's license law. The number of
dram shops instantly rose from 512 to
IZo, and In 1867 to 500, for which rea-
son the Senate made motion for the
Te-lntroductlon OF the license law.
When In 1869, the new law of the
Northern German Confederation dis
pensed with the proof of the ne
cesslty OF dram shop for a village or
town or street of a large CITY.
within two years the number of dram
shops In Germany grew from 1851
to 1902, or 12,261. From October
LIST, 1869, to January 1st, 1877. the
number of inns rose from 1882 to
$1,000, or A per cent, and that of the
drinking saloons from 62,612 to 50 3O5.
or Ill per cent. In 1869 the percentage
OF inns and dram shops to the number Of
inhabitants was 1915 to 100000 iphab.
itants, but in 1877 it had risen to So. SO.
Inc same enormous increase manifested
itself all over Germany, so that the
Riaeoichstag, in its sitting of July 28d.
1879, made the license of dram shop
and OF an inn in towns or villages of less
than 800 inhabitants conditional on the
necessity for them. Prior to granting
such license the police and town ano
thoritles are asked for their opinion
which, In case of negative answer ;s
never overruled by the Secretary of the
Interior. This reduction Of the number
OF dram shops, however, is not at all snf-
hclent to suppress drunkenness. The
smaller number of drinking places has
attracted larg= number of guests who
ENJOY themselves better in a great crowd
and In rooms comfortably heated and
better kept.-The Nation.

RAISING CAMELs IN NEVADA The
virginia City Enterprise says: We are
informed that the Frenchman who owns
the herd OF camels ranging to the east
ward In the Va legs bordering the Carson
River will utilize his ships OF the desert"
next summer in carrying goods from the
terminus of the Carson and Colorado
Railroad into camps far out in The will
derness. The camels now number about
forty, all but two or three of which are
natives OF Nevada. In our deserts these
animals find grasses and bitter and
Prickly shrubs and plants suited to their
taste, and probably the same or varieties
OF the same plants that grow in other
desert regions of the earth 1t is less
trouble, and costs much less to grow
camels in Nevada than to rear cattle in
Atlantic States"

Thy gentleness, said the Psalmist

even the perverseness of others IF Won

THE MILLING INDUSTRY IN A MERIcA.

Mr.. Josef J van den Wyngaert, who
was commissioned by the Prussian
Government to make a report concern
ing the Millers' Exhibition in Cincin-
natl, is said to have expressed the fol-
lowing opinions on the American in
dustry of milling: In the different mills
he had visited iu the Eastern part OF
the United States he had found many
excellently constructed, but also many
primitive ones built 80 or 40 years
ago.
America had undoubtedly been the
most advanced country on the earth in
regard to milling, and when anything
was said at that time about American
mills in Europe, as matter of course
only the best and most excellent ones
were meant Since then things have
changed. While America. as well as
England and France, had come to a
standstill, Germany and Austria had
excelled remarkably in the progress OF
this branch of business. The con-
struction of mills in these countries is
to day much better than that of Amer.
lean mills, and it was only in the last
few years that America had made eff.
forts and adopted the improvements OF
the Germans and Austrians, and taking
them for basis had made further pro.
gress Thus the roller system, for in
! stance, for the grinding of grain, had
been transplanted from Germany to
G., -
Naples, and introduced it into Germany
in 1874, from whence it had only in
the very last years found its way into
America.-OeSterreichtsche UnQar 1

LEARNING TO TIE K NOT,

LEARNING TO TIE KNoTs.-A cro-
respondent suggests that it would be o
handy accompis shment for schoolboys
to be proficient in the handling, splicing,
bitching, and knotting of ropes. He
suggests the propriety of having the
art taught in our public schools. A
common jackknife and a few pieces of
clothes line are the main appliances
needed to impart the instruction with.
He concludes it would not only be of
use in ordinary daily life, but especially
to those who handle merchandise and
machinery Any one, he adds, who
has noticed the clumsy haphazard man.
ner in which boxes and goods are tied
for hosting or for loading upon trucks,
will appreciate the advantage of prac'
tical instruction in this direction.
Probably good plan, he further sug-
gests, would be to have one schoolboy
taught first by the master, and then
let the pupil teach the other boys
Our correspondent thinks most boys
would consider it nice pastime tc
practice during recess and at the dinner
bour, 80 that no time would be taker
from study or recitation time.

BEET SUGAR MAKING INDELAwARE

BEET SUGAR MAKING In DELAWARE.
The new sugar mill ofthe Delaware
Sugar Company, at Riverside, short
distance above Wilmington, has begun
work Last year the entire product Of
sugar beets in Delaware amounted to
about 800 tons, but this season the
company expect to obtain from three to
four thousand tons of better beets than
last year, the cultivation having been
better understood The beets already
delivered are testing from to IA per
cent of saccharine matter and the COM
any are paying from $3.50 to 81 per
ton for tn, IN, and are working up a.
bout so tons a day. If they obtain
the quantity of beets calculated upon,
the product, under the new and improv-
ed process now in use in the new mill,
will be about $4,000 pounds of raw
sugar, 200, 900 pounds of molasses, and
l,700 tons Of pull, which is now sell
ing at the factory to farmers at 81 per
ton. 1t is stated that some of the beets
were allowed to remain in the ground
too late in the season, and thereby
were somewhat deteriorated for pro-
duclng sugar. This, with other defects
in the cultivation, will, it is said, be
remedied the next season
