TRUSTWORTHY.
The Boy Who Scorned to Cheat Railroad
Company.

Here, Ellis said Deacon Cary to q
lad of fifteen, as he stepped from tho
morning train. Here is a good round
trip ticket that will carry you to Spring
field and back without costing you a
cent Take it, and run up and spend
Sunday with your mother. 1t Will save
you round two dollars. and that will
buy you a new jacket, which dare say,
you need.
The boy took the ticket from the out
stretched hand, and looked it over with
a glad smile lighting up his face.
ut is all right, continued the dea-
con, land good until it is used, you see.
| made my trip upon it, and the care
less conductor failed to call for it either
way. Keep it, and use it, he said, as
the boy offered him the bit of paste
board. you are welcome to it, and
your mother will be glad to see you, |
am sure"
but you have used this ticket al
ready, Mir. Cary" urged Ellis
Its not my lookout if the conductor
fails to attend to his duty The ticket
is my property yet, and | make q
present of it to you,' the deacon re-
piled, little impatiently.
Ellis Conway looked at the card in
his hand, and thought of his poor, sick
mother and of all the delicacieS the
extra two dollars would buy for her
comfort, and he was sorely tempted to
take the next train to Springfield; but
the next moment his better self had
triumphed, and tearing the ticket into
small bits, he deliberately cast them
into the fire, saying rs he did so: The
temptation is removed now. If | had
used it, the railroad company would not
have been much poorer, but | would,
for would have lost my self-respect,
and | can not afford to be on bad terms
with myself"
Deacon Cary muttered something
about over-righteOusness, but a few
months later, when in need of trust
worthy clerk, Ellis was the first one he
invited to fill the vacancy. He eX-
planned to his partner: "a boy who
scorns to cheat railroad company will
be perfectly trustworthy among piles of
money -BeHc T. Chisholm, in S. S.

BURNING A CHURCH,
How it May be Done CheapIy and Ex-
peditiOusiy.

peditiousiy.
This art has been practiced with emf
nent success. We have had two very
complete examples in the neighborhood
of Boston within the last few years, and
we burn one church and half per
week, sometimes two, in the United
States. This art is very simple. Inside
of stone or brick exterior sham, con-
struct a timber church with a joisted
floor, sheathed overhead in the cellar so
as to create certain number of wooden
coils, each one connecting with hollow
space between the outer stone sham
and the inner wooden structure, built
of light timber and fastened to the
stone walls by cross braces of sawed
wood, very numerous. Connect these
interspaceS in the vertical walls not
only with the cellular door, but also
with a large cavity in the roof between
the inch boards of the roof and the
false ceiling of the interior wooden
structure; then set furnace of an APP
proved pattern, with a metal air-boX
near the furnace, but connecting with
a wooden air-bOX in the hollow floor.
On the Friday Of very cold week, when
'Old Prob says that Saturday will be
warm" light a very hot fire in i've fur
mace. BY Saturday night or Sunday
morning the pressure of the cold air of
the early part of the week, which had
accumulated inside the church, will
have circulated d0lURWard through the
furnace, and will have forced the hot
air through the wooden air-box in the
hollow door to a sufficient extent to set
it on fire; the fire will be carried
through the wooden cells.in the hollow
walls to the hollow spaces in the roof in
about five minutes, and the first alarm
will be given by some one who sees the
smoke issung from the peak of the roof.
The whole of the interior structure be-
ing protected from water by the stone
or brick sham, the destruction of the
church will be very certain. This is n
customary and very successful method,

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.


The smallest salary a pastor in the
Presbyterian Church of Australia is per-
mtted to receive is $500.
If compelled to choose between the
two, always prefer a good teacher to
a fine school-house. = Chicago Inter
ocean.
An uncommon form of strike is the
quitting of pastoral work by the lower
clergy of Bulgaria. They refuse to hold
church services, baptise, or solemnize
marriages and burials. Their griev-
ance is the very worldly one of a reduc-.
ton of wages, which are paid them by
the State.
The rectors and prominent laymen
connected with several of the Protestant
Episcopal Churches in New York have
inaugurated mission work fashioned
after the recent London Mission, which
is designed to put the churches in more
thorough sympathy with the working
people.-M Y. Tribune,
Speaking of our Home Heathen''
the Christian Union says: THE popu-
lation has been growing, and the church
accommodations have been diminishing
In the city of New York, in 1910, one
church to every 1900; in 1880, one
church 30 every 2, 400. In the city of
Chicago, in 1910, one church to every
TAI; in 1880, one church to every 1000
These figures show that the darkness is
gaining on the daylight in these two
great cities. This is also true in Gin
cinnati and st. Louis"

"A minister well known by name
throughout the land, who has one of
the best equipped houses of worship,
was showing a friend, not long since,
through its various rooms, when they
came to the kitchen, which was con-

in large letters: The Lord will pro-
vide, while in smaller letters on the

After Jessie had said her prayers, her
mamma read:
"'And the little girl went out and
looked for her brother, but could not
find him. She waited and waited. and
hunted about, wondering where he
could be, and feeling very lonely and
forlorn without him.
"'At length. some of the neighbors
came running by in great fright, and
told her mamma that some little boys
had been playing in the woods. and two
of them had fallen into deep hole in

1.-THE little girl did not know that
her brother had asked mamma to let
him 90 to the woods for bunch of wild
flowers for his little sister Mamma
told her to stay in the garden while she
herself ran across the meadow towards
the woods
Then for a dreadful half hour,
which she will never forget, the little
girl waited, not knowing whether she
had any little brother or not, trying to
fancy how it would seem never again to
hear his merry voice, or to see his bright
face. Even his teasing seemed only a
trifle now, only u little fun, which She
might easily have laughed at, or borne
patiently, instead of fretting and COM
planning about it

ever think again that she would be very
happy if it were not for her brother!' "

WHERE BARRIERS WAX FAT.

People Whose Religion Compels Them to
Patronize the Knights of the Razor.
The barber trade is one of the most
important in Persia. The Koran makes
it honorable for man to wear beard,
but commands the shaving of the head.
There are two great sects among those
who accept the Mohammedan faith. the
Sheas and the SunneeS. The latter are
all Turks and they shave the whole crown
excepting tuft in the center by which
the archangel may draw them out of
the grave.
But the Persians are SheaS, and they
shave the center of the head, from the
forehead to the neck, leaving a long curl
on each side. 1t is curious to see even
little boys with their heads thus pol
ished. The PerSians consider it a great
disgrace to lose their side curlS. As
they all wear turbans, or black, conical
caps OF Astrakhan lambskin, no ore
would suspect the head to be shaved
until the cap is taken off, Then, in
deed, the appearance OF the head is ex-
ceedingly grOtesque. 1t is evident that
the care OF the hair is Il very important
question in Persia. But this is not all.
One rarely sees a gray beard or gray
locks in Tchcran. Even the most ven
cradle men have dark or red hair. The
reason is because all, from the highest
to the lowest, dye their hair Even the
tails and names of the horses are some
times tinged with henna. Those of the
royal stables are dyed a beautiful rose
color The use Of red for curtains.
awnings and umbrellas is forbidden. 1t
