BABY GAY AND BABY GREY.
Different Views OF Life Taken by TW
Little Apples.

Different Views OF Life Taken by Two
Little Apples.
Two little, green apples grew side by
side on a great, big tree.
Baby Gay and Baby Grey were happy
little apples until one day rough Mr.. Hail
rushed by them and in his hurry he let
two Of his little hailstones strike tDem.
Mr.. Hail was In two much haste to say
excuse me-" so rushed on.
The baby apples cried momen. with
pain, but 1t was soon over and they
nestled down in their mammals com.
Portable arms and went to sleep.
These babies grew until they were
large, round. green apples. The place
where the hailstones hurt them made .
bruised spot on their checks.
Baby Grey thought of her scar mo-
ment, then began to cry, and said No
use in living; l have great, ugly spot
on my cheek; no one will ever love me;
l am just tired of living. I can never
be pretty, nor can l ever be sweet and
nice as my sister on that long, beauti.
full branch. ! am just going to give
up"
So she did, and pouted herself into
shriveled, dried-up apple.
Not so with Baby Gay. She said:
II know can never be pretty on one
side, for the hail made such large
hole in my cheek, but am not going to
give up in that way.

something toward making some one

and rosy that when little girls and boys
see me they will forget al about say
bruised side. and will love me for what
there is good in me. will ask the sun
beams to shine and shine on me SO
warm and bright that my coat will grow
as red as Mary's cheeks. and my meat
will be as juicy and sweet as is possible
for an apples to be. God made me to
be happy Baby Gay, for lie wishes
all of His babies to be happy, and am
not going to give up and be cross and
ugly just because Mr.. Hail made mis-.

hurt me- So much more is the reason
that l should try to be happy"
The dear Baby Gay did as she said.
and she grew, and grew, and grew, un.
til her good cheek was as round, red
and juicy as pippin could be. II
pulled around the bruised spot so closely
that Hattie had to open her great blue
eyes pretty wide to find the scar when

DUEllN0,
The Once Popular "Field Of Honor" II
Now Looked Upon With Disfavor.

Tho Once Popular "Fi~ld Of Honor" 10
Now Looked Upon with Dlsfavor.
All things are not what they ought to
be, but there is An advance in moral
sentiment along various lines, which is
encouraging. Public opinion with refer
ence to dueling furnishes an illustra.
ton in point Not very long ago an
appeal to the code" was regarded rs
honorable, in the highest degree, both
in Europe and America man was BAN
ished from society if he refused to &C
cept challenge. In France and Ges.
many duels were of almost daily DC.
currence. In England leaders like Well
ington, Canning and Beaconsfield took
part in "atfairs of honor" and lost
no prestige. In our own country, Ham.
ilton, Randolph, Jackson and Clay
fought their duels. A man. honor was
in proportion to the number he had
killed or wounded on the field of hon.
Or" Blood, shed in duel, was not re.
garded as a stain on the character.
There has been a change in recent
years. The German Emperor seems de-
termined to stop all dueling in ais
army. 1t is proposed by the French au-
thorities to suppress the code" in that
country. No one could imagine Glad
stone or Balfour or Cleveland or Blaine
taking part in duel, because of polit-
ical or personal differences. There is
not civilized land in which man can
suffer in public estimation for refusing
to offer or accept challenge
1t is evident that the sentiment
against dueling is growing, and that it
will continue to grow till this islic Of
barbarism is banished from civilization.
This is due to the power Of the Gospel.
When through the leavening influence
of Christianity, society treats those
whose weapons are detraction and de.
famation ss optcasts, dueling will be
unknown. The moral courage required
to face an elevated public sentiment
will be far severer test of character,
than the physical courage required to
face q. pistol In the most skilful hands.
Laborers in reform movements often
grow discouraged, and there are reasons
enough for Encouragement. But the
gradual advance in moral sentiment, as
illustrated in the matter referred, to-
should put courage in their hearts and
strength in their hands. 1t is an indica
ton of what may be accomplished II
other directions. The Gospel has no
yet exhausted its power. Its effects In
the past are prophecies Of still grandel
triumphs in days to come. - United

The Disturbance One Little hoy Raised

Little Josie Brown was sent to the
store for bottle of shoe-dressing. He
didn't care to go Just then, 80 he rushed
out of the house in bad temper. After
getting the bottle he was returning in
the same ugly fashion, not looking at
all whore he was going. He happened
to come to slippery part Of the pave
ment and down he fell, dropping the
bottle On the ground. OF course, it
broke, and the contents splashed all
over his face, his hands and his clothes.
In terror he few home, and ran scream
ing to his mother. Seeing that he was
about to throw himself on her lap. she
cried out In alarm: Don't come near
me-"
Mrs Brown was making new silk
dress, and she naturally objected to it
being soiled by shoe-dressing.
Then Josie screamed all the more
and his two little brothers, who were
present thinking that their mother was
frightened, began to scream too. This
woke the baby, who joined in tbs a:sHs!
chorus
The sound was heard in the street,
and some foolish people quickly gave
an alarm Of fire. In . very short time
engines were in front OF the house.
This made such an uproar that Mrs.
Brown wondered for q moment what 1t
all meant When she did understand
it herself. she found it dificult to make
every body else understand what had
happened. Then she found it still more
difficult to quiet her three frightened

the veHsd question of wife's pin mon
ey admits that man, Is a rule, is chival-
rous and generous, but thinks in the do

woman how to apply their knowledge,
but there should be some statement
made by every man to the woman he
marries of his financial condition, as
also to her parents or guardian. She
will then know the whole situation and
be able to govern herself by it. There
should be a perfect understanding be-
tween them and there can then be nc

A Professional school for Girls.

A new professional school for girls has
been opened in England at Ben Rhyd-
ding, near Leeds. The school will en-
deavor to prepare girls for those
branches of work which are not as yet
overcrowded by women such as account
ancy, designing, piano-torte tuning,
cooking, etc. Pupils will be taken from
the age of twelve to go through COM
bined course Of intellectual, physical
and industrial education, so that at the
end Of this course they may not only be
educated women in the usual meaning
of the term, but may be able to earn a
livelihood. Between twelve and fifteen,
physical training is all important, and
the locality has been chosen especially
with this in view.

Remembering OUR FAlLlNGS.
Good Advice That Can BE Given to Ono

OOS0
and All Alike.
Remember your failings" we over
heard an older man saying to younger
about to 60 into the city. The young
man was given to drink, and the advice
was supposed to be needed when he
faced the temptations of the city saloon.
But this young man was not the only
one who needed this advice. That
XYorld-conqueror who charged his valet
70 remind him every morning that eli
men are mortal always seemed to Us as
conceited as he was famous. That any
one should require to be reminded that
he in particular is mortal. with the
graveyard full Of monuments and the
mourners going about the streets con-
tinually, isa piece of bombastic conceit
If that same King, however, had hire d
valet to tell him to remember his
failings, he would have shown his
wisdom and common-sense.
There are others besides the young
inebriate who need to remember their
failings. Remember your failings, young
man. when you are tempted to stray
again into the same pool-room whore
you lost five dollars last week Re-
member your failings, young woman,
when you go into the religious meeting,
whore, last week, you sat and gigglsd
all through the devotional hour. Re-
member your failings, old man, wher
the contribution-box is passed, and dom
mistake . nickel for fve-dollar gold
piece, as you usually do. Remember
your failings, madam, when you *
shopping. 1t is not the whole Of life
to shop, nor altogether consistent with
ladyhood to give the clerks two
hours of trouble for q ten-cent pur
chase. Remember your failing, Brother
Lengthy, in the next prayer-meeting
and recollect that three-minute testi'
mony is good deal better than thir
teen-minute harangue. Remember you,
failing, Brother Theologian, and do no,
try to crowd Kant and Descartes and
Locke and Dugald Stewart all into mex

ing, Mr.. Politician, and keep clear Of
all faint of brides.

were made to have file cupboards and

Against women.

The indications now are that the
Methodist Episcopal churches in the
Middle, New England and Southern
States east OF the Allegheny Mountains,
representing about one-third of the
membership of the Church, are decidedly
opposed to the admission OF women as
lay delegates into the General Con-
ference; and it is believed by those who
have the best means of gauging church
sentiment on this question that the
Church as a whole will pronounce
against it. The voting on the question
will go on during the present monsn.

TRENTON, Nov. 17.-Justice Reed
has filed an opinion in the Supreme
Court in the case of Marietta Breg-
guglia vs. the Borough of Vineland,
setting forth conviction and commit
ment made by the Mayor OF Vineland.
Marietta Bregguglia was taken before
the Mayor charged with being guilty
of violating an ordinance Of the bor-
ough by unnecessarily going upon and
crossing the private grounds rented
and occupied by the complainant,
after the posting of a notice forbidding
persons from crossing or trespassing
upon these lands. The penalty pre-
scribed for such offense by the ordi-
nance is $40, or the Mayor may impose
q fine or imprisonment or both in his
discretion, for the violation of the
ordinance.
A fine was imposed on the woman
She did not pay it and was committed
to Jail, but escaped imprisonment by
appealing. The Justice sums up by
saying
Common Council of a borough
organized under the act for the forma-
tion of boroughs, has not power to
pass an ordinance making private
trespass penal. A justice of the Peace
in such d borough cannot collect a fine
for the violation of an ordinance by a
commitment"
