Ages to Come.

"That in the ages to come he might SHOW
the exceeding riches OF his grace IN klndness
toward us in Christ Jesus" Eph. ILL., (R. w.,
"The ages to come''--what q wonder,
full prospect! How shall we, the short
lived and shortsighted children OF time,
bear to look into the heights and
depths of that eternity called by st.
Paul the cages to Gomez" All that
we can now is by divine revelation,
and the glimpse here afforded us as to
the glorious future of Gods people is as
elevating to the spirits as 1T is comfort
inc to the heart. In that great future
God will have. work to doi He Will
show His people that which they could
not aDprehcnd or understand now.
All that can here be known OF the eX-
cceding riches of His grace is poor com,
pared to what has yet to be revealed
tin kindness toward us in Christ Jesus" "
The centuries of time are not long
enough to show all this; it requires the
cages to GOMEZ for its full display.
The work accomplished by Christ In
EIis life and in His death was in one
sense ended when on the cross He
cried, ut is finished ~ but its glori-
ous results shall know no end; the
"ages to come" will only unfold more
of their "eXceeding riches"
How strange that we eallow ourselves
to be engrossed with the cares OF TINS
life even to its most petty trit1es, while
such prospect as this is set before US!
How sad that we should break our
hearts over the losses and the crosses OF
a day, and forget "the exceeding riches
of his grace" to be shown in the "ages
to come u-Thc Sunday ut Home.

Be sure that the children understand

Be sure that the children understand
what they learn by rote in Sunday
school. One little fellow innocently
asked his teacher who Nora was, hav-s
ing been accustomed to repeat the
Tenth Commandment as if it read,
"Nora's OK, Morals ass" Similar blum
ders are made sometimes by older peo-
pie. The CornhiU Magazine tells an
amusing story of an ignorant Yorkshire,
man who persisted in using positively
harmful quack medicine. The rector
appealed to the mans wife to exercise
her influence, saying that her husband
was surely killing himself. TO which
she tearfully replied: ~ know it, and
many's time I've prayed against it in;
the church service" referring to a pass
age in the Litany which she had al
ways rendered, "From all false doctor
ina, good Lord, deliver usp' There are
cases, however-the Christian Scient-3
lists, for example-in which false doc,
trine and false doctoring run into, and,
so to speak, telescope each other.

A Beautiful Complexion.

| A clean, fair skin and good color
are within the reach of great many
who think they can never hope to
have beautiful complexion. But the
price to be paid, not in money, is often
very large one, and involves an en-
tire change of diet and ways of living.
One who is accustomed to turning
night into day, who during the hours
of sunshine is sleeping within four
walls, may have clear skin, but 1t
will not be roseate. One who eats
wrongly or overeats must pay the
price, and a part OF it will be in a
muddy complexion. The skin is an
important factor in the sewage OF the
body (Which is seventy-five per cent.
water), no less than twenty-seven
miles of sewage tubing being on the
surface of the adult of average size.
DISTINCTIONS anywhere along this eX-
tended line will show themselves, II
not in fevers and colds, in eruptions,
scales, "blackheads," and other un-
slightly blemishes.
The sewage escapes of the body are
the skin, the lungs, the kidneys, the
bowels. If the air one breathes is
foul. it cannot properly purify the
blood, and the skin that is nourished
by impure blood cannot be beautiful.
If the diet is constipating there will be
another source of ugliness to the COM
plexion. The skin and lungs will try
to get rid of effete matters retained IN
body and the breath will be fetid. AS
a lady lecturer on hygiene once said, in
recommending an oatmeal and fruit
diet "It is impolite to have bad
breath" If by a hearty meat diet the
kidneys are overworked, unable to per-
form their office, the skin, by its un-
healthy color, will show..its sympathy
with them.
Friction and cleanliness are impor-
tant factors in producing a clear COM
plexion. The bath is inseparable from
beauty. Exercise is an important fac
or in producing clear complexion. II
the exercise taken must be within
doors, let them and the windows be
thrown wide open, and all of outdoors
that is possible be brought within the
walls. Even then one cannot realize
the full benefit of outdoor exercise.
Cosmetics such as are above recon-
mended will do more than improve the
complexion. They will make the per-
son using them well and strong and
happy in exuberant health. TO sum
up, these cosmetics are:
l. Plain, wholesome, nutritious food.
2. Abundance of pure air.
3. Plenty of sleep at night.
4. Exercise in the open air.
5. Friction of the skin and the bath.
6. Regularity of habit in all things.

The Birthday of Jesus.

A little girl was separated from her
mother several thousand miles. When
her mothers birthday came, she said
"Ifmy mamma were at home, should
make nice present and give to her but
she is far away, and ] cannot give her
anything. I have thought of some
thing that will be better than a present.
L will do everything can think of to
please my mamma all day to-day"
This was her resolve before she rose in
the morning. So she dressed herself
neatly and came to the table promptly.
She attended to her morning duties,
kneeling in her room and asking Gods
help, and went to school, all the time
thinking to herself, "Will this please
mamma?" When she was tempted to
speak unkindly, or be selfish with her
school mates, or to neglect her studies,
the good angel in her heart would whis-
per to her the better thought; and so
she went through the day, often asking
herself the same question, and holding
herself to the purpose of doing every
thing in a way that would please her
mamma. At night she wrote her
mother letter, telling her how she had
celebrated her birthday. The letter
reached her mother and made her very
happy and she wrote her little girl that
it was the best birthday present she had
ever received. Our Savior has gone
away from us into heaven, but He told
His disciples He was coming again. In
few days we are going to celebrate His
birthday, which we call Christmas. He
is not here, so we cannot bring Him
presents, as the wise men did when He
was on earth. How can we do better
than to do as the little girl did for her
mamma-try to do everything toplease
Him that day, and so make Him hap
py? In the first place, love Jesus then
obey Him. Think out what He has
done for us, how He has died to save us,
and thank Him; then try and make
others happy. Many children make a
mistake in thinking only of having a
good time themselves on Christmas, and
forget that it is Christ's birthday, and
that He is the one to be made happy.
But to strive to please Him is the surest
way to be happy ourselves. If Jesus
was really going to spend His birthday
in one of our homes, how we should try
to think what we could give Him and
do for Him. But He has told us that
what we do for others in His name He
will accept the same as if done for Him.
So it is in the power of us all to make
Christ happy on Christmas day. Do
the things that would please Him.

Water Before Breakfast.

A thin, tall man got up coy; the 9TH
er morning, at the Fifth Lc Hotel,
and, coming down stairs, .,lered two
glasses of water at the liquid refresh
ment counter, says the New York Mail.
The trained bartender smiled, but
handed out two large glassrs full OF
pure cold water. The man smacked
his lips, and said 1t was a healthy drink
before breakfast, and one that he recon-
mended. He said:
If l had not drunk cold water before
breakfast, I might have been in my
grave long ago. I am u physician, or,
rather,s swas one before L retired, and
have made a study of liquids. Water,
drunk freely before meals, has very
beneficial result, for it washes away the
mucous sccrctcd during the intervals OF
repose.
The membrane thus cleanscd IS in a
much better condition to receive 1ooo
and to convert it into soluble com
pounds. In the morning the accumu-
lation of mucous is specially marked,
when the gastric walls are covered With
a thick, tenacious layer. Now, food en-
tering the stomach at this time will be-
come covered with this tenacious coat
ing, which for Il time protects it from
the action of gastric ferments, ana So
rctards digestion. Your man with
tubular contracted stomach, with puck
cred mucous lining and viscid contents,
normal condition in the morning be-
fore breakfast, is1not suitable to receive
food. a glass Of water washes out the
stomach, gives tone, and prepares the
almentary canal for the morning meal

An Act of HerOiSm.

A large concourse of people had col
lected in one of the streets of San Diego
in California, and were shouting at the
top of their voices in very excited
manner. The cause of the uproar and
tumult soon became apparent.
A drunken drover had charge of a
herd of wild cattle, and was driving it
through the town. Every one knows
how dangerous these animals are, es-
pecially when goaded nto fury by tip
sy drover. One of the largest of the
bulls, with terrific horns, detached HIM
self from the others.
Now, little child was playing in the
street, dragging toy cart after it, and
the mad bull rushed after the child.
The drover tried to turn the infuriated
animal, but in doing so lost his balance
and fell heavily from his horse to the
ground. A cry Of terror arose from the
lips of the spectators as they saw the
great danger the poor child was in.
Surely nothing could save it from its
horrible fate
But help was near. A young lady
was passing, and the shouting of the tu-
multuous crowd having attracted her at
tention, she took in at a moment the
imminent danger of the little child. She
Immediately seized hold of the drover's
horse, and, springing into the saddle,
gave chase to the bull. She soon
caught up with the animal, and taking
a shawl from her shoulders she threw it
over it's head and neck, while the bull
was in full charge, and painfully near
the child. In less time than it takes to
tell, she had reached down, clutched
the child, lifted it into the saddle, and
bore it away out of danger.
The shouts and hurrahs of the de-
lighted spectators were deafening, as
this young lady (Miss Lawrence by
name) dismounted and placed the child
in the arms of it's grateful mother.
Not only did this splendid action show
great presence of mind, but it was a
feat of horsemanship which most peo-
pie, even if they had been willing,
would have been incapable of perform
ing.
There is not the slightest doubt, that
had it not been for the young lady's he
roic action the child would have been
tossed and gored to death. Such an act
will live in the memory Of all those
who We're so fortunate as to have wit
messed it.

How to Judge.

A we'll known Paris scientist, DR..
Delauney, has made some curious idis-
coveries which show the connection
between little and great things. To
ascertain the qualities of an applicant
cook, Essays it is sufficient to give her
a plate to clean, and watch how she
moves her hand. If she moves it from
left to right, or in the direction of the
hands of watch or clock, you may.
trust her; if the other way, she is
certain to be stupid and incapable.
The intelligence of people may also be
gauged, the Doctor further says, by
asking them to make circle on paper
with a pencil, and noting in which
direction the hand is moved. The
good students in a mathematical class
draw circles from left to right. The
inferiority of the softer sex, as we'll as
the male ounces, is shown by their
drawing from right to left. Asylum
patients do the same.

Only TOngue.LOye.

Mary Marson was always telling how
much she loved her mother. Words
were very cheap, and little Mary
seemed to have great number of them
so many that her mother got tired oil
hearing her talk.
Of course you will expect me to tell
you that Mary was q great comfort to
her mother, and was always glad to
help her in every way possible. That
was just what Uncle Ralph thought
when he heard his niece's fine, loving
words; but before his visit was halT
over, he found the little girl loved her
mother with love that is good for just
nothing at all.
One day the girl who did the work
was taken sick, and baby Willie was
very fretful, so the mothers hands was
more than full of work. Mary kissed
her mother when she saw how tired
she was and called her darling
mamma" but did not offer to amuse
the sick baby, or take AIMS cup of tea
to her room. Oh, no !she could not stop,
for she was making her dolly a new
hood for winter. Uncle Ralph said to
his sister:
"What can I do to help? sec that
your little daughter does not love you
any, but do"
Mary stopped knitting and rocking
in her comfortable chair and looked at
her uncle in surprise. "I dolOve moth
er," she said angrily. "Oh, no; you
don't" her uncle said, shaking his head
sorrowfully.
"Ido." And here I am sorry to say
one little foot went down on the floor
very hard.
"You have plenty of mouth or tongue
love, know but that is like sounding
brass'-noise only; don't amount to any
thing"
Mary began to cry at this, and "won'
der" what could she do.
ASK your mother what can [ do" u
said her uncle.
Poor little Mary stopped crying, but
looked very unhappy for it seemed tc
her that she must sit on that very com
Portable chair and knit dollie James
hood. But she might take care of baby
81 will take baby out" said her uncle
"that will help"
Then Mary felt easy again, for some
one else was doing her duty for her.
~ wish your Mary loved you," sai'
her uncle to his sister, as he put th'
baby into his little carriage: "hut sh'
does not l fear-only tongue love, no
heart love-"
After quite while Mary went softl'
into the dining room, and set the tabl
neatly for dinner picking up baby's pla.
things in the sitting-rOOm, and made III
little crib bed for his nap, besides takln
care of her own little room.
What kind of love did this show
Which kind have you for your mott
er.

How TO SERVE TEA.-A cup of tea
or coffee should not be filled to the
brim ), it is in bad taste, and certainly.
ungraceful, as the liquid slops overinto
the saucer and causes the bottom of
the cup to drip as it is lifted to the
mouth. You will find it convenient to
have little bowl of hot water beside
you when you are pouring out tea. In
this you dip the cup before filling it..
In that way it becomes sufficiently
damp at the bottom not to slip, and
perhaps upset in the saucer. In filling
the cup second time the dipping in
the bowl of hot water removes any
residue of coffee grounds or tea leaves
On English tables the "slopbasin" is
considered as necessary a portion OF
the tea-set as the teapot. kg

How TO Make Hens Lay.

People would better understand this
matter if they consider for a moment
a hen to he, as she is, a small steam en-
CINE, with an egg-laying attachment,
and that there must be a constant sup
ply of good feed and pure water to
keep the engine and its attachment up
to it's work. In addition to keeping
before hens that have complete liberty
a constant supply of water, summer
and winter, it will be found that dur
ing the cool and cold weather of fall,
winter and spring, dough compound
ed as follows, fed one day, then inter
mitted for two days, produces excellent
results: TO three gallons OF boiling
water add one-half an ounce OF COM
mon salt, a teaspoonful of cayenne
pepper and four ounces of lard. Stir
the mixture until the pepper has I'M
parted considerable of its strength to
the water. Meantime the salt Will
have been dissolved and the lard melt
ed. Then, while yet boiling hot, stir
in a meal made of oats and corn ground
together in equal proportions, until Il
thick mush is formed. This is an ex-
cellent food for the purposes intend
ed-to make hens lay in cool weather.
