dancing and card-playing are so far part

No cause ever made progress by negations.
1t is not enough to put the evil away, you
must put the good in. Indeed. you can
never put the evil out, save by the expulsiye
influence of the good. 1t is Of small use to
denounce. any form Of even questionable
amusement. Denunciation never did any
good to anybody. The only way to put
down evil amusements is to encourage good
from amusing themselves in harmful ways
is to provide helpful amusements. The only
way to bring out the better element in those
am easements, which may be either good or
bad, is to make them Christian by the infu-
ence of Christians. GEORGE HODGES.

Josephine went off, In three minutes she
returned, leading Miriam by the hand.
Miriani's cheeks and throat turned crimson
as she saw me, and she dropped her eyes,
and stood still, waiting.

She came to me and put her arms around

Yes" she murmured, scarcely louder

'I said loved him."

about becoming his wife-did you say yes
or no?''

A Convenient Receptacle Tint Aids Her
Business Wonderfully.
New York SUM-
Female book agents who know their bus
iness have clever arrangement for conceal
ing in their skirts their sample book and
all other traces of their business. Their
skirt is slit at one side as though for huge
pocket, but instead of pocket attached to
the skirt which would inevitably bulge out
or pull the skirt down when loaded with a
heavy book, there is a sort of bag hung be-
meath the dress from q strap that passes over
the shoulder.
A very large book slipped through the
slit in the skirt into the bag leaves no out
ward trace, and with her implements thus
concealed the book agent can gain access
almost anywhere, no matter how close the
scrutiny of bell boy or servant.

HE WANTS HIS NEWS FRESH.

A Greenland Governor Gets His Papers
Once Year and Reads One Day.
The Governor of the Danish colony of
Greenland receives by the ship which
brings him his annual supplies, copies of
the daily papers of Copenhagen for the year
preceding. He arranges these papers in the
order of their dates, and then quietly and
calmly reads a paper each day, just as
though it was fresh from the press.
He is sometimes strongly tempted to peer
into futurity by reading some papers ahead
when he comes across interesting news; but
he resists the temptation, no matter how
anxious he is to know the fate of some
measure. One days paper for each day is
his rule; and so at the end of the year he is
thoroughly familiar with the news of the
preceding year.

The Decendanfs of One Insect Number Over

From where do all the flies come? The
question is often asked. and seldom re-
ceives as satisfactory an answers as has
been given by cotemporary: The COM
mon fly lays more than 100 eggs, and the
time from egg-laying to maturity is only
about two eeks. Most of us have studied
geometrical progression. Here we see it
illustrated. Suppose one fly commences
ito multiply and replenish the earth about
June l. June 15, if all lived, would give
$50.
Suppose 75 Of these are females, July 1
would give US, supposing no cruel wasp or
other untoward circumstances to interfere,

males, we might have July 10, 843, ,720 flies.

what might be by September 10.

THE DUDE FIXED HIM.
The Contents of Snuff Box Used to Stop
Dog Eight.

Dog Eight.
Youths Companion.1
In crowded city street an ill-natured
mastiff seized little dog by the throat and
began viciously shaking him. Ascrowd
soon gathered. Words, blows and kicks
failed to make the mastiff let go his hold.
The little dog was bowling piteously. At
this iuncture, when the lookers-on were
wondering what to do, young man, ex-
quisitely dressed, came along. He at once
comprehended the situation.
Leave him to me-" he said. II can
manage him."
There was an incredulous laugh from the
crowd, and cries of, "The dudes here!"
''Th1nks he's smart'n the rest on us!" Let
the dude fix himP' and the like.
The young man drew from his pocket a
silver snufbox, and held pinch OF snuff
under the mastih's nose.
The powder soon did its work. The big
dog began sneezing vigorously, and of
course had to open his mouth. He dropped
the little dog and took to his heels, fright
ened and ashamed, his tail dropping like
whipped ours.
The crowd broke into a round of ap-
plause; the young man smiled and went on
his way.

in the hillside woods, just beyond the Union
Brewery. II was where the underbush was
the thickest and most luxuriant and where
the dog-wood blossoms made the trees look
like pillows of white wood. There stood
an amateur photograph artist with his
camera, and there about 15 feet distant,

She was standing in the midst of the
snowy bloom of dog-wood tree, on a limb
about 10 feet from the ground, having her
photograph taken. It was a sweet and
blushing picture, when our reporter got his
first glimpse.
