KNOWN by Their Fruits.

The following forcible remarks are from
an article in the North American Review by
Frederic r. Condert, Roman Catholic.
The men of today need to learn what
Christianity has done and is doing for the
human race. They must he asked to refrain
for moment from laughing at the bright
sallies Of brilliant DISCLAIMERS. And to in
quire into the possible results Of a succe ssful
campaign against the system of belief that
has been interviewer with the growth,
strength and progress of the world for the
last eighteen hundred years None more
wisely and eloquently than Mr.. Gladstone
could have warned society Of the dangers
and evils which a reckless eagerness for IN
tried systems and an impatient sufferance of
whatever is, may produce. For the first
time in the history of our modern life, the
law looks on in silence and leaves mems
tongues and pens free to malign and car
feature the religion which was, and still is,
part Of the law of the land The fear of pun
ishment being removed, nothing is left but
self-imposed restraint of him who decries
sacred things TO fix the measure and violence
of his attacks. Whether DR.. Field and Mr.
Gladstone may or may not outshine Colonel
Ingersoll in debate, is not, after all, so i'm
portant. The question remains whether the
Lords prayer may be abolished, and the
sermon on the mount derided into general
contempt, without changing the whole struc
ture Of our moral and social world.
After all we fall b6ck on the Saviour's
word, "By their fruits ye shall know them
lngersolls infiielity means some large audi
ences at 50 much a head. 1t does not mean
anybody's good or anybody's benefit outside
Of IngersolL Christianity takes the world
for its field, and is ever at work seeking to
make the world better As to arguing with
the blasphemer, we have only to say, they
waste their labor who enter into conflict
with him. Though dogs bay at the moon to
their hearts content, they cannot bay away
one moon beam. Let blasphemers howl, and
shrek their curses to the worlds great moral
sunshine, the religion Of the Lord Jesus.
they cannot dim its lustrs, nor stay its help

Tea and Coffee.

Tea is a nerve stImulant, pure and
simple, acting like alcohol in this respect,
without any value that the latter may
possess as retarder of waste. 1t has
a special influence upon those nerve
centres thatsupply will power, exalting
their sensibility beyond normal activity,
and may even produce hysterical symp-
toms, if carried far enough. Its active
principle, theme, is an exceedingly
powerful drug, chiefly employed by
nerve specialists as a pam destroyer pos
sessing the singular quality of working
toward the surface That is to say,
when a dose is administered hypOdermi
cally for sciatica, for example, the mar
cote influence proceeds outward from the
point of injection, instead Of inwards to
ward the centers, as does that of NOR
phia, atropia, etc. Tea is totally de-
void of nutritive value, and the habit Of
drinking it to excess, which so many
American women indulge in, particular
" in the country, is to be deplored as
cause of our American nervousness
Coffee, on the contrary, IS nerve
food. Like other concentrated foods of
its class, it operates as a stimulant also,
but upon a different set of nerves from
tea. Taken strong in the morning, it
often produces dizziness aud that pc
culiar visual symptom of over stimulus
that is musc.e misunderstanding flies.
But this is an improper way to take it,
and rightly used it is, perhaps, the most
valuable liquid addition to the morning
meal. 1t should be made as stong as

New Every Morning.

Every day Is a fresh beginning,
Every morn is the world made new;
You who are weary OF sorrow and SHINING,
Here is a beautiful hope for you
A hope for me and a hope for you.
All the past things are past and over,
The tasks are done and the tears are shed
Yesterdays errors let yesterday cover;
Yesterdays wounds, which smarted and
Are healed with the healing which night
has shed.
Yesterday is a part of forever
Bound up in a sheaf, which God holds
tight;
With glad days, and sad days, and bad days,
Shall visit US more with their bloom and
Their tre ful D' Of sunshine or sOrrowful
night.
Let them 90, since we cannot relieve them,
Cannot undo and cannot atone;
God in His mercy receive, forgive themi
Only the new days are our own,
Today is ours, and today alone.
Here are the skies all FURNISHED brightly,
Here is the spent earth all reborn;
Here are the tired limbs springing lightly
To face the sun, and to share with the
morn
In the chrisnn Of dew and the cool of dawn.
Every day is a fresh beginning;
Listen, my soul, to the glad refrain,
And. spite Of old sorrow and older SHINING
And puzzle forecasted, and possible pain,
Take heart with the day, and begin again !

Among a School Of Snordnsh.

Ex-County Commissioner Crandall
Monday told new fish story: u went
out the past summer from Block Island, u
he said, in steam yacht for swordfish,
struck fighting school when two hours
out, and harpooned and took on board six
teen. The monsters were so thick about
the vessel that she ground upon them as if
she were grinding upon aledge of rocks.
Finding the boat was leaking badly we
started for the Block Island wharf, and
reaching there discovered that eleven that
had penetrated the yachts hull with
their swords were still held securely TO
the vessel. These were taken in, max
ing fetal catch of twenty-seven in a
day, the largest single days catch on
record. "-AOrlOJeh Coma BulLetin.

Geese and Their Feathers.

ton of feathers in this country for bed
ding purposes is estimated to amount to
1900, 900 pounds. To furnish this
1900, 600 healthy geese must give up
their feathers In a year. The geese
furnishing these downy pillows and beds

ern Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Ten
nessee and Kentucky. The climate is
cold enough to cause the feathers to be
fine and soft, and not too cold to make
their care a matter of Improbable labor
TO farmers. Below this territory the
feathers are gully and free from down;
above, the cold winters make geese
farming improbable, for when the
goose can't find food for herself, because
of frozen land and water, she has to be
fed, and she'll eat as much corn as q
sheep.

from apples. The New York Tribune
says: Two cases lately put on record
of seedless sorts of apples-one of

Prof. Claypole's proposition TO breed
out the Troublesome core from the best

much more exhausted by the produc-

UnsOpnIstIealed New Gninea TrIbes.


The unsophisticated tribe in New
Guinea who think sugar is not fit to eat,
recently offered to try an experiment
upon Mr.. Turton and his wife, which
Ayas respectfully declined. Regarding
the color of the Europeans as a white
pigment laid on very thickly they desired
to wash it off, and see what their visitors
looked like without their paint Eeing
amenable to argument, however, they
finally became convinced that the pallor
on the fares of the strangers was not an
piled, but was natural. Confidential re-
lations were nearly established when Mrs.
Turton upset everything by suddenly
closing her parasol without due notice.
This phenomenon caused a panic, and
the chief retreated over a hill in undigni-
fed haste, followed by all his people As
the world did not come to an end, and
as the visitors were most friendly in their
manner, the natives finally ventured
back A present of a twOpenny looking
glass TO the chief re-established COM
plete confidence, and was accepted as a
present worthy of a great Prince.
But Mr.. Turton was determined to
show these children of nature some mora
wonders. He first exhibited his watch,
and the movements of the wheels was
observed with many EXPLANATIONS of as
constituent Then he held it to the
chiefs ear, and when that venerable per-
son heard the ticking be jumped about
three feet from the ground, and declared
that the thing talked Mr.. Turton
showed some other curiosities, and at
last &C omplished the most astounding
feat of the day. He caused wild dismay
bysiighting a match, aud the chief de-
clared that such exhibitions of magic
art must be stopped. The portent of
this occurrence was calamitous, and he
begged Mr.. Turton not to do so any
more. The natives had seen more than
they could assimilate in one day, and be-
pie live only few miles from the coast,
at place which has only recently been
visited by white men.
When Grenfell was ascending the Lu-
longo River in Central Africa a while
ago, the first white man to penetrate that
region, he came across a chief who had
heard only the vnguest rumors that such
beings as white men existed. About the
only thing the chief wore was the he'll
met of French cuirassier, which, in
the course of trade, had come into his
hands. Nearly everywherein the Congo
basin the first white visitors have found

Death Of am american King.

1t is stated that President Cleveland
has been officially advised of the death
of the only Fling upon the American
hemis phere, George Frederick Augustus
Handy. His subjects consisted of 4 few
hundred Mosquito Indians on the north
coast Of Nicaragua. His grandfather
was the immediate subject of the ''AIou-
roe doctrine, " and it was mis- establish
ment upon IA throne that called out the
celebrated protest from President Mon
roe George Frederick Augustus Handy,
as well as his father and grandfather,
were crowned under the auspices OF the
British Government and have always
been recognized by it as genuine Kings.
When the Spanards conquered Ameri-
ca they were never able TO subdue the
Mosquito Indians, and in the days of
the buccaneers the Mosquito coast, as 1t
is called, was the fayorite haunt of Eng
.lish pirates and freebooters. The ma
tives killed all Spaniards, but welcomed
Englishmen as friends, and in 1926,
after the Central and South American
colonies became independent republics,
England had Robert Charles Frederick
Handy, hereditary chief of the Mos
quitos, crowned as King, with protec-
torate from her Majesty's Government.
There were volumes of correspond
ence between our Government and
Great Britain written on this subject,
and the result was that England with
drew her protectorate and the republic
OF Nicaragua agreed to pay the King Of
the Mosquitoes $4,000 year perpetually
for the use of the harbor of Greytown,
which is the only port Nicaragua has on
the north coast, and there the proposed
Nicaragua canal is to enter the Atlantic
on the east.
The successor of Richard Charles
Frederick Handy, the first King, was
his son, George Augustus Frederick, and
the late King is his nephew. He was a
drunken, worthless follow, and his Gov
eminent was managed for him by an
American from New Orleans named
Cuthbert. As the Republic of Nicara-

The Pure Heart.

Rev. James Caughey once said in ser
mon on blessed are the pure in heart that
it was impossible to sully a sunbeam. And
while the sunbeam he said, may dart
down into the darkest hole of filth, and illu-
inmate it, it will soil nothing, and yet not be
soiled itself So the ray of heavenly life and
love, existing in the perfect believers heart
goes into and comes out into contact with
the dark dwelling-pl places of iniquity and
filth, and cheers, and enlivens, and en-
courages by its presence, but is always kept
unspotted from the stains of the world. It
IS God who gives to the pure in heart this
great gift and distinction. 1t is He only
who can keep the heart in perfect peace.n
This thought is beautifully illustrated by
the scripture: Though ye have lien among
the pots, yet shall sc be as the wings of a
dove covered with silver, and her feathers
with yellow gold. NJ Christian Witness.

During the last Convention at Mortified,

cried out:

wife bought no end Of lace curtains But
we had hardly got settled down, when Mr..

lowed the crowd of professors and Church
members He preached the same sermon We
have so far heard tonight The Spirit Of
God convicted me and my wife both of sin,

The piano and all went; but my wife was so
happy at parting with the lace curtains, it
was really curious. Then we took two
