DIR. WithrOw on False Professors.

1t is big thing to be Christian
Yet there are false professors of religion.
Remember, however. that counterfeiters
work in gold, not in copper. They find
their greatest success in the highest de-
nominations of coin or notes, not in
pennies. 1t is because true religion
is 80 intrinsically valuable that it is
counterfeited. 1t was always SO. All
sects suffer, but the proportion is not
so large as when Judas lived. Not one
in twelve now is fraud. There are
some black sheep in every flock, and
Christianity is shown to be divine to
carry so many loads and yet live.
There are more faithful wives than
there are unfaithful ones. Infidels adj
init that "churches die hard" Many
true men are falsely charged, though
some who are of Israel are shown to ba
not Israelites indeed. In 1900. but one
in seventeen was an Evangelical COM
now. one in five in our land
is the proportion. Trade sales in New
York furnish one of the best tests of the
tastes of this reading generation. ex-
amined the list at recent large sale,
and found in a long catalogue but two
books, the aim of which was openly
anti-C Christian. Is not this an evidence
of the comparative strength of Chris
tianity in our community? = Church

Insects Working Tools.

wonder if you know that the small
est insects you see about you have
tools given them to do their work with.
There is little fly called saw-fiy, be-
cause it has saw to work with. 1t is
really very much nicer saw than you
could make, if you were ever so old.
The fly uses it to make places where
the eggs will be safe. What is more
strange, it has sort of homemade
glue, which fastens them where they are
laid
Some insects have cutting instruments

poppy-bee is one of them, whose work is
wonderful. The bee has boring tool.
too. Its nest is usually made in old
wood. This borer cleans out the nest
ready for use. When all is ready the in
sect cuts out pieces of leaves to line the
nest and to make the cells. These lin
ings are cut in the shape of the cells.
You would be surprised to see the care
taken to have every piece of just tn
right size, so that it will fit. When they
are fitted, the pieces are nicely fastened
together and put into the nest.-Our

platform through faith, and this act
provides the water and leads them to
it. You are like smart steer that slips
around to the barn-yard and peeps in
the trough without getting on the plat
form. He finds the trough dry, OF
course, for it needs his weight on the
platform to force the water up. He
turns away disguised, and tells every
body there's no use getting on the plat
form for there's no water in the trough.
Another steer not so smart, but with
more faith, steps on. the platform. the
water springs into the trough, and he
marches up and drinks. That's the
way with religion. You've got to get
on the platform. You can't even ex.
anime it intelligently, until you are on
the platform. If you slip around the
back way you'll find the trough dry.
But step on the platform, and the water

Making Shoes in Haste.

A few years ago it. was by no means
an uncommon thing to see advertise.
ments by tailors protlering to make en-.
tire suits of clothes in forty-eght hours.
or even less. competition forcing reduc.
ton to thirty, and in at least one in
stance to twenty-four hours. Whether
it was that there were so few persons
who demanded entire suits in such haste
that the tailors found their expedition
WAS uncalled for, or that the tailors
found they could disappoint customer
Just as well on basis of week as
day, those advertisements of active
work faded gradually out of sight. The
last traces of them were proffers of "a
pair of pantalOons made in six hours"
or "a vest made in four hours and
even those are seen no longer. But at
their best the tailors really did nothing
SO very extraordinary. The feats have
been accomplished of shearing wool
from the sheep, carding, spinning, dye
ing, weaving, and making it into a suit
OF clothing complete within single
day, and in a like space of time an en-
tire suit of clothes has been made from
cotton that was in the bolls when the
day began. 1t is hardly to be expected,
however, that the best results were at
tanned in such limited time. The latest
advertisement of this sort is put forth
by a Broadway shoemaker, who prom
Uses: "Shoes made to order in twenty
four hours"
''Oh, l can do better than that, if ]
want to, he said. Il can turn out a
pair of shoes in twelve hours, or even
less. 1t is now ten o'clock, a. M. Give
your order for pair of shoes now, and
I'll warrant they will be ready for YOU
at six O'Clock this evening. How do /
do it? BY team work. 1t could not be
done by single work. There are five
distinct steps or processes in the making
OF the upper of shoe, and no less than
eleven in putting on and finishing the
sole. In team work each of those six
teen processes is intrusted to an individ-
ual who does nothing else but that one
particular thing all day long and week
after week. In the dull season l work
only one team, but in the busy season
two teams. Each team can turn out
one hundred and ten pairs week. The
dull season runs from the end of June
w wv ii'eeuiS Va S'1ptCmuCIs anu lIOu
the middle of December to the middle
or end of February. Team work has
several advantages. 1t enables the men
to earn better wages regularly than
they would by single work-say ten dol
lars to fourteen dollars per week by the
former and seven dollars to fifteen dol
lars by the latter-and at the same time
renders the employer comparatively in
dependent of the whims and possibly
the intONication of workmen, which is
no small matter. Then team turns
out more work than an equal number
of single workers could, and with better
finish-since each man is expert on the
one thing he does-with uniformity
that could not otherwise be obtained,
and cheaper withal. But an employer
must have large business to justify
him in keeping team at work. ~

Each steering Decline at once to the
Shades"
Three wives had been told that three husbands
must meet
Three men upon business urgent to trades,
For men, after supper, grow restless if they
Must spend with their wives one hour a day,
And women must ever be groaning.
Three wives followed after three husbands,
and saw
Them laughing and drinking and smoking,
so gay,
Around small table, and playing at draw"
With business cards in business way.
For women are curious always to know
What business takes tired husbands out %,
And when they find out there is grooming.
Three husbands, unconscious of danger, were
bold,
Yet drcading three lectures they knew
they'd incurred.
Three furious women marched in, and-be
hold,
Three husbands marched out without saying
word.
For none are so meek as are husbands when
caught,
And none are goOd-for a day as
those taught
BY wives that they too, must be grooming.

Mems Clothing.

English STYLES are still followed in
mems clothing. but are not closely
copied or carried to the extreme except
by immature young men, or old men of
questionable taste. Business and trav-
cling suits for spring and summer use
are made of Chevoits and English mix
lures in small checks, and occasionally
small stripes are used. The coat may
be the four-buttoned cut-away or the
four-buttoned sack. In each case the
fronts are single-breasted, and the coat
is shorter than that of last season. There
are also fitted coats and loose sacks
made to be buttOned by only one button,
or to leave open entirely. The whole
suit is made from single piece of cloth.
The vest is single-breasted, and cut very
high. The trousers are clOse-fitting, but
not extremely tight.
The day dress suit to be worn by the
groom, ushers and guests at day we'd
dings, for day receptions, day visits,
driving, and for church, has Prince
Albert frock-coat of diagonal cloth,
which is either dark blue or black. This
double-breasted coat has silk faciDgs,
and is shorter than that formerly worn.
The vest, of the same cloth, is cut high
with a collar. The close-fitting trOu-
sers have narrow stripes of dark color.
With this suit at day weddings this
spring the preference has been for very
light or else white ottoman or brocaded
satin scarfs. closely knOtted, with stand
ing collars that meet in front, but dark
sapphire blue and notified satin scarfs
are also worn both by groom and ushers
when the bride and her maids wear full
dress. Pale lavender or pearl-colored
kid gloves stitched with black are worn
by the gentlemen attendants at day
weddings. or else gloves are omitted.
Full dress for evening remains un-
changed, except that the swallow-tail
coat is shorter than it has lately been
made. This coat is usually of black
broadcloth. though very young men
who like innovations are having the
entire dress suit of twilled black cloth.
Breast facings are on dress coats, and
the collars are finished with braid and
gimp, The vest, of the material of
the coat, is cut to open low, and
fastened by three buttons. The trOus-
sers worn with brC,ldcloth dress-coats
are of more elastic cloth or doesk:n
of the same jet-black hue, and are
trimmed with braid down the outside
seams. These suits are not to be
worn in the daytime, but are put on
every evening by men of fashion
when paying visits, and are de rigueur
at formal dinner parties and evening
cnterta: nments.
Spring and summer overcoats are
short singie-breasted sacks of diagonal
cloths like those used for Prince Al
bert frock-coats; occasionally Venetian
cloths are used. They are made with
silk facings, and the most fashionable
colors are dark slate, brown and olive.

THE HOME FAIRY

There's funny little fairy
On his rounds by night and day,
And he goes about his errand
In very funny way.
Such tiny wand, SO starry,
Bears he in his tiny hand,
And he visits every mansion,
Every cottage in the land.
Then he looks up in our faces,
With quaint and guizzing bye.
When he finds them.dark and frowning,
on he goes without goodbye,
But if sunny smiles and dimpies
Meet his glance, to work he goes,
And before body knows it,
Pop! He jumps astride our nose.
To our ears he creepS and whispers
Many sweet and lovely things
In our eyes he scatterS sunshine
From his pretty diamond wings.
Then:he smOOths away our wrinkles
With the dazzling wand he bears,
While he sings a song, so CHEEKY,
That he lightens al our cares.
Oh, his task is never ended
Til the world in slumber lies!
Even then we dream so sweetly.
With his sunshine in our eyes,
Has he met you on his journey?
Listen while his name tell:
He's the merry sprite Good Nature"
And hope you know him well.

While visiting the Smolnoje for Girls,
some years ago, the Empress, during the
examination Of the pupils, suddenly
asked, "What is love?"
The young ladies blushed, rs though
an improper question had been pro-
posed, became greatly confused, and
were silent. Nine. Leontieff, the di-
rectress, kneeling, begged leave to state
to her Majesty that all knowledge OF
this dangerous suLject was prohibited
by her, and that, in all probability, the
pupils did not even know the meaning
of the word.
The Czarina frowned. $50 far from
being dangerous subject, madame"
she said, "love should be the pure
handspring OF woman's life; first, love
for her parents; then, love for her hus
band; lastly, love for her children ; and
love for God, always. If your pupils
have not learned this, they are badly
prepared for the duties of life."
The Empress left the institute, and
the next day Madame Leontieff was re-
moved as incompetent by the Imperial
Ministry OF Education.
In American society the mention OF
love is too often received by young girls
with blush and giggle, which betrays
the narrow and vulgar meaning which
they attach to the word. 1t is to them
simply Irritation with some young
man, which may or may not end in
marriage.
1t is the fault of their mothers if they
are not taught to know and respect that
divine quality of devotion and self-sacri.
flee, which alone can ennoble woman's
life, and which, whether it is given t.
parent, child or lover, makes her moro
