WILL FILL THE CHAIR.
An Attorney Who RejOices i'm the
Confirmation of Lamar.

<Ah INV ANNJOICCS HI Tic
Confirmation of Lamar.
To the Editor of the Globe.
AS member of the Hennepin county
bar have been somewhat interested in
the question of the confirmation or re-
lection by the senate of Mr.. Lamar as
an associate justice of the highest court
of our country, and l am frank to say
that my concern was entirely based on
the fear that perhaps through partisan
ship or SectionaliSm he might be re-
jected. l am rejoiced to know that there
is enough of progress and broad-minded
craftsmanship, even in the senate as at
present constituted, to appreciate the
breadth and worth of man
of the natural parts and sub
sequent requirements of Mr.. Lamar.
In common with some others whom |
know have become entirely disguised
with the time-honored chestnut of
dreaminess, Observation-Disclosures and see
ing of visions and indulging of day
dreams as charged against the great re-
verser of the decision of that practical
man." w. A. j. Sparks. If Mr.. Lamar
is subject to such "spells'' they are to
be honOred in their observance rather
than in their breach if they are pro-
ductive of such consequences. Another
theory advanced by these alarmists and

The Neck Of the Giraffe.

In spite of its enormous length, it
only possesses the seven vertebre
which are common to nearly all the
mammals. In consequence it is nearly
as infiexible as wooden bar of equal
length, so that the many pretty pic.
lures which represent giraffes curving
their swan like necks gracefully, after
the manner of swans, are ludicrously
wrong. "But," said the objectors, iii
It had so long and inf1eXible neck II
could not Craze, and being ruminant
animal would die of hunger" 1t is
quite true that it cannot Craze. 1t can
only lower Its head near the ground
by spreading its fore legs rs widely as
possible and drawing its hind legs un-
der them, thus presenting most ludl.
crous aspect. In its native state it
never, as fer as know, even attempts
to lower its head to the ground, but IN
captivity it can be induced to do so by
laying on the ground large lump OF
sugar of which it is inordinately fond.
The fact is that it is intended to
Craze, not on the ground, but on the
leaves of trees. The acacia, or mimo-
81, is its favorits tree, and the Dutch
colonists have in consequence called
the acacia by the name OF "kamee!-
dorn'-i. e., camel thorn, they invari-
ably giving the name of "cameW to
the giraffe. This mode of feeding in
wolves another anomalous structure.
This is the tongue, on which the gi-
raffe is almost as much dependent as is
the elephant on its proboscis. 1t is
possessed of wonderful powers of ex-
tension and contraction, and can be
narrowed until it almost resembles the
corresponding organ of the ant-eater.
The peculiar powers of the tongue can
we'll be seen when the animal takes
the sugar from the ground. 1t does
not attempt to seize the sugar with it's
lips, but protrudes its tongue to its
fullest extent, twists its narrow tip
around the sugar and draws the covet-
ed dainty into its mouth. When it
feeds on the trees it picks off leaf after
leaf quite daintily, selecting those
which ara most to its taste.

The True Ring.

find to my sorrow that if the every
day practice of my life fails to exem-
plify the precepts which try to incul-
cate, my teaching is in vain. The
words I speak may be fraught with the
most precious truths, they may reach
only the home circle, or they may 60
to the uttermost parts of the earth, but
unless they bear the impress of q life
wholly given up to God, they lack the
true ring and fail of their purpose.
Gods spirit will never accompany q
set form of words, however good
they may be, if they lack the impetus
of his presence in the heart.
I lately heard young man talking
with friend upon the subject OF re-
ligion. listened and wondered. The
words were good, very good; but it
seemed to me that they lacked the
ring of sincerity. care you a Chris
tian ?" I wanted to ask as I looked IN
his face. could not forget that 1 had
heard something to the contrary, but
we so often hear evil spoken of anoth-
er, this, I thought might have been
untrue. So I hoped and wondered
but the words he had spoken had
more than an empty sound; they
seemed like sacrilege, like the han
ding of sacred things with unwashed
hands, and had afterward unmistak-
able proof that this was the case.
The circumstance turned my
thoughts inward, and I asked myself
if the words sometimes try to speak
10 the unconverted do not often lack
that which shall give them perman-
ence in the heart. The motive may
be good we may truly wish to see
those for whom we labor benefited by
our counsel; but however much in
earnest we may think ourselves to be,
our words will lack the true ring un-
less the whole life correspond.
Perhaps we sometimes wonder that
we see so little good resulting from
our well-meant endeavors and forget
to look down into the depths of our
hearts for the reason. The glow of a
true Christian life will shine from the
face, the power of a truly devoted
heart will ring in the words, and each
shall bear eternal fruit for the Master.
To such and only such shall come the
unspeakable joy of having led souls
from darkness to light.
When our hearts are all aglow
With the Pentecostal fire
And our lives are pure and white
Before the Lord,
Then the work we try to do
With purpose strong and true
Shall not fail to bring Its own
Secure reward.

Two Ways Of Saying 1t.

These who live among books, and
have withal the gift of language, are
apt to be bookish in their expressions.
One of this class, Miss Eliza Robbins,
of Boston, was visiting her friend, the
poet Bryant. She happened to be
alone in his library when a cabinet
maker brought home chair he had al
tered.
On Mr.. Bryant's return, he said :
miss Robbins, what did the man say
about my chair? ?"
"That the equilibrium is now admir-
ably adjusted" she replied, not lifting
her eyes from the book she was read.

6irps Best Cooking School.

The mothers kitchen is the girls
best cooking school. The same hands
that make crazy quilts for amusement
can make rag carpets to cover home
floors. Rag carpets are just as aesthetic
as crazy quilts. The washtub is an
excellent gymnasium. Were it only
craze every girl in the land would be
taking lessons OH the wash-board. II
these are menial occupations we have
made them 30. They hurt the pride
more than they do the physical pow
ers. These duties distributed in q
family would not fall hard upon any
one member. It will be remarked
that Mrs. Whitney, in "We Girls, "
makes one of them say Of their neat
housekeeping: "We could not tell
whether we dined in the kitchen, or
kitched in the dining room."

Preparation for Church.

The value of Church services de
pends, to large extent, upon the frame
of mind in which one participates ir
them. A writer in the Golden Rute
illustrates this thought as follows:
Take two men who have come tc
church, the one from secret prayer, OF
the family alter, or the morning
prayer meeting, the other from mis-
cellaneous occupations, from mlscel'
laneous thoughts furnished by the
Sunday newspaper, or from hurried
preparation. Will there be no differ
ence between the two in the house
'Tis true, tits better to come from hur-
ry and worry than not to come at all;
but how much more philosophical to
prepare the heart and mind for hear
ing by a period of prayer! What
think you Of the farmer that sows the
seed without first preparing the soil?
Such is the man who without prayer
comes into the sanctuary TO hear the
gospel. While some of the good seed
may possible take root, 30 far at least
as he is concerned, a part of it will be
wasted.

"The visions of glory that breaks in
on me-" said Bickersteth, "have been
quite indescribable." II can find no
words" cried Payson, "to express my
happiness. I seem to be swimming in
river of pleasure which is carrying me
on to the great fountain" In a SINH
larly cheering manner did Toplady,
the author of the well-knOwn hymn,
"Rock of Ages" bid adieu to the feast
of life. He seemed, we are told, to lie
in the vestibule of glory. To friends
inquiries he answered, with sparkling
eye, "Oh, my dear sir, I cannot tell the
comforts I feel in my soul-they are
past expression. The consultations of
| God are so abundant that they leave
me nothing to pray for. My prayers
are all converted into praise. No NOR
tai can live after the glories that God
has manifested in my SOUL"
The late DR.. Mark Hopkins began
his last will with these ords
In making my will wish first to
express my sense of the great goodness
of God to me during long life, the
blessings of which have far exceeded
my expectations. Second, I wish to
express my unshaken faith in the glo-
rious gospel of that blessed God as it is
revealed by and in Jesus Christ and
my personal acceptance of him as my
only ground Of hope in passing into
the future world and my prayer is
that all my children may accept this
Savior in their hearts and serve him
in their lives.
An authority on pigs says that he
never thinks of cutting off the tails OF
his pigs. The tails are the indicators
of the porker's condition. If piggy
doesn't feel we'll, if his food doesn't
agree with him, his tail begins tc
straighten. The sicker the pig, the
straighter the tall and the healthier
the pig the tighter the curl. The old
theory that it takes bushel of corn tc
fatten an inch fail this pig raiser
scords. The pigs tail is his pulse
therefore never cut it off.
Many farmers in New England raise
excellent crops of potatoes without sta.
BILE manure, depending entirely upon
commercial fertilizers. The potato re.
quires considerable potash in order to
reach its highest state of perfection
both as regards quality and yield.
A simple method of decoration fol

exhibitions of unselfish benevolence
