Helping Those in Need.

There can be no greater happiness,
avs the Central Christian Advocate,
han to help those who are in need;
md the world is full to overfowing of
uch opportunities. There are always
ome not far away from us in need of
real and the commonest charities of
lie to whom we may minister of our
kbundance and have Gods blessing on
bur well-doing. The highest record
hat one can make is, "He went about
oing good" There are various kinds
bfwell-doing that fall into this general
Justification, but we may do Gods
york in one as we'll as in another.
whichever, therefore, presents itself
b the providential order should be &C.
Fepted as demanding our attention,
bud with such cheerfulness as to win
|he confidence of those to whom we
|dminister. For when it is evident
hat such work comes from the heart
(nd is done for Christ's sake, there can
be no argument against it. Gods care
i the needy comes largely through
uman fundamentally, and we are to
be the willing instruments of it.

Little Josef Hof,nan,,.

Should you like to know more of the
great child pianist? It is not of Josef's
genius wish to tell you; but of the
real little boy Josef, with whom I
crossed the ocean in the steamship
"Aller," and whom I knew and loved
for his bright little self before won
dered at him and admired him for the
sake of his music. Indeed, one saw in
him none of the precocity one would
expect to find in such genius; he was
as much of rough-and tumble boy as
any of you or your school-fellows.
When I first saw him he had just come
on board warmly clad for the voyage in
the huge fur cap and fur-lined coat in
which he had been so often photo
graphed. He ran about investigating
with great curiosity the boat which was
to be his above for the next eight days,
and chatting in German with every
one. soon became one of his friends,
and his small figure was often the first
to greet me when I went up on deck in
the morning; at that time his low bow
and manner of kissing my hand we're
worthy of small prince, though
prompted by an impulse most child
like and affectionate. He showed,
however, that he cared little for the
plaudits and flowers, so often showered
upon him after performance, by his
remark, when friend on board said
he would send him bouquet at his first
concert "Oh," said Josef, "let it be a
toy instead" He delighted in games
of any description, and particularly in
sleight-of-hand tricks. Some one had
taught him how..to insert coin through
the small neck of a bottle; he was ex-
tremely proud of this accomplishment,
and was always greatly pleased when
any one asked him to see it. There
were some children on board of whom
he was very fond, and one evening he
amused himself with drawing an "a7a-
denke1a" remembrance for each of
these young friends; one, remember,
was an absurd caricature of himself.

Four Maine Boys.

Thirty years ago I knew, in the
town of c., in Maine, two brothers
whose identity I will disguise un-
der the names of Willard and
Langdon Newman. In the same
town I knew also two boys, not BROTH
ers; whom I will call Charles Small
man and George Winfast. The two
former were sons of farmer; the two
latter were sons of master mechanics.
The farmer lived in the outskirts of the
town, in the wild country, which rem
dered them plebeians; the latter in the
village, which made them patricians, as
boys saw those things
From the time they we're nine and
ten years of age, Willard and Langdon
had to assist in the farm work in sum-
mer-time and therefore could not go to
school. They worked at planting and
hoeing and haying, from five in the
morning until eight or nine at night in
the longest days. In the winter, for
few years more, ten weeks at school
was possible, for which they walked
nearly mile, going home to dinner
between twelve and one.
When the civil war came on, times
were hard in these Maine country
towns. Willard and Langdon by 1868
were compelled to leave school and go
into the forests to cut and haul wood.
At fourteen the latter used to yoke his
oxen before light on those short winter
mornings, drive into the woods through
snow from two to tour feet deep,
load cord of wood, heavy sticks four
feet long, and haul it to the railway
station mile distant. This he would
do four times day, frequently eating
his dinner on a stump with the ther-
mometer at zero. But all this time
these two boys were occupying their
few spare moments in improving their
minds. Their evenings were passed
around the great fireplace where they
studied their books and read weekly
papers have seen one or the other
of them sitting on an ox-sled of cold
winter day reading newspaper. Oc-
casionally, in the fall, they would still
attend part-term at the academy, and
thus amid hardships and privations
prepared themselves to be teachers
They had brown faces, big, rough
hands, and wore old clothes, fire.

THE CRAZE FOE o1D EDITIONS.


Never within the memory of men liv-
ing has the craze for old editions been
so violent as now, and the costly folly
of first editions been so exorbitant. If
it were indicative of renaissance in
letters, or even of large and more in
telligent reading of books, it might
pass without censure; but being fad,
in which only the wealthy can indulge,
it is simply a piece of financial snobbery
and insolence. That many of the prices
paid to-day in England for first editions
of modern books are ridiculous is evil
dent from the sums paid at recent
sale in London: Byron's "Hours of
Idleness," 1907, e8 lbs. Cd. Dickens
"Pickwick Papers," s12 lbs. Swine
burne's "The Queen Mother" go; Car
rolls Newis) "Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland, f5, and Ruskin's king
of the Golden River" fl0. As rule
at this sale the prices realized for the
first editions of older and more famous
books were not so excessive. We men,
ton few of them. 1.-THE Task and His
tory of John Gilpin," 912; Grav's
"Elegy Wrote in Country Church
yard" e36; Gray's Fables" SO, IS.
Millions "Lycedas," e34; Paradise
Lost" ELS, and first editions of four of
Chapman's plays, EOS 15s. There may
be something to be said for this folly
in England, but there is nothing to be
said for it in this country, where the
most outrageous prices are demanded
by od-book dealers for first editions of
Longfellow, Holmes, Lowell, Emerson,
and, for aught we know to the con-
trary. of Mr.. Walt Whitman, Mr..
JOAQUIN Miller, and Mr.. Will Carleton.

SOCIAL CUSTOMS OF TIE f. QU1MAUX
Their social customs are so full of in
terest and individuality. Their way of
eating, for instance, is decidedly pc
culiar. Cutting long strip of CORY,
greasy meat from the mass before him,
the Esquimau gourmand takes one end
of it in his mouth, and then pulling on
the other until it is strained tight, with
quick slash of the knife past his mouth
and nose, sewers q mouthful and swal-
lows it without mastication, repeating
the operation rapidly until the limit of
his storage capacity is reached. A civil
lied spectator watching an Esquimau
family at dinner cannot fail to be struck
with the wisdom of Providence in Civ
ing these people short noses, as, we're
the features any longer, they would in
fallibly suffer early abbreviation,
In the matter of amusements the Es-
quimaux are not badly off. They have
form of cup aud ball, the ball being
block of ivory pierced with holes at
different angles, into one of which the
players strive to insert an ivory peg as
the block falls, the portion OF the hole
determining the value of the stroke.
Another game closely resembles domi-
noes, and contains pieces running a.
high as double thirties, +" but sequences
are not regularly carried out, the breaks
in them seeming to be without system.
They have game exactly like solitaire,
with the exception that ivory pegs take
the place of the glass balls. The
special smusement of the women is
species of "cat's-cradle, which has been
brought to such perfection that they
develop from twenty to thirty different
figures in it. Indeed, they are ex-
trenrIly clever in performing tricks
with string, winding and twisting q
piece in and out among their fingers,
