julius NJ. Case of Marquette, Mich,
who died suddenly at the Victoria
hotel recently from the bursting OF a
blood-vessel in his brain, says Lon
don cablegram 10 the n. Y. san, was
very popular among his friends, al
thouqh he cultivated one or two
amusing eccentricities to degree that
was somewhat objectional TO the
British. One of Cases fads was his
collection of walking sticks of all
manner of odd and bizarre patterns.
The more grotesque a stick was that he
saw in shop window the surer he
was to buy it. One of his sticks had
the head of bulldog. life size, and
Case would calmly carry it in the
street, unmindfu of the fact that
every passer-by stopped to look at him.
Another cane had the head of a
monkey, which, when a spring was
touched stuck out its tongue and
viuked its ewes, and Case was fond OF
walking down Piccadilly with it under
his arm, blinking and loliing its
tongue, while he appeared absolutely
unconscious that he was attracting at
tention. Others of his sticks con-
tanned perfume fountains, jack-iu-the-
box whistles, and similar instruments
of torture.
Cases favorite cane, hewever, was
one that served as sign in umbrella
shops 1t was something like five
feet long and had buckhorn handle
six inches in circumference and at
least three feet in length. With this
small tree it was Cases delight to GO

HEART EARNESTNESS.

There is much that is wrong
in our modern education. We
teach our boys to be gentlemen,
but the affections, the feelings,
are neglected. We teach them
to become successful business
men, and the more they succeed
the pooer they become it spirit.
We help them to win positions
of honor, but in gaining their
end they pass by scenes of suf-
fering, the tears Of the sorrow
full, the sigh of the oppressed,
unmoved. This is all wrong.
Without feeling we would be-
come a nation of stoics. Let
there be plenty Of heart-earne5t-
ness. We believe in it. 1t is
a power more potent in its re-
suits than the might OF kings
Hearts that have been melted
and subdued by it. Burning
and loving words always find a
response somewhere. The most
eloquent orations have been
delivered, the most beautiful
sentences have been written,
and yet they have not shown
the power of touching the heart
as do the simple words Of some
earnest preac her Of the Cross
Christian Weekly.

REVERENCE.

There is no virtue, no grace,
in postures and attitudes, This
truth we do not question. But
if we refuse to express rever-
ence we shall soon cease to feel
reverence. This also is a truth.
1t is not enough to be interest
ed, III a general sense, i'll the
services of the sanctuary. God
is greatly to be feared (rever-
enced) in tho assembly of the
saints and in the congregation"
True reverence, and worship,
will express itself somehow as
long as We are compounded Of
body and spirit. Starve ex-
preston, and how long will
the feeling endure? We are
persuaded that it, has declined
in many if not i'll most of our
congregations. 1t is greatly to
be wished that it might be re-
Vived. But in order that it
may become a fixed habit of
our souls we need to adopt
suitable methods of expression.
We should feel more like pray
ing if we adopt some proper
attitude of prayer. BY kneel-
ing,..bowing the head, covering
the eyes-by some bodily action
or attitude expressive of re-
weren't adoration-we shall be
far more likely to cultivate the
true spirit of devotion.-Ex.

THE STREAM OF BENEFIT
CENCE.

Christian giving is like a run
ming stream. II money flows
out of ones pocket it goes on a
long mission OF good. The rains
poured on the sides of the
mountains don't stay thers.
They will refresh the grass
growing on the mountain side,
but still 20 flowing along to
make the corn of the valley
grow. Then these waters gather
into the stream that causes the
meadow to carpet itself with
green verdure. But the stream
flows on swollen by tributary
branches, and these united
branches make d river. And
now the river becomes a great
mechanical power. turning the
wheels OF many mills built Oh
its banks. And the smaller
rivers uniting become a great
liquid highway floating the
commerce of a nation. So the
stream of beneficence flows
along clothing and feeding the
hungry, educating poor boys
and evangelism, the heather
And those educated and con
yerted ones become themselves
streams of beneficence to a host
Of others. Then let your money
be d fountain Of beneficence
sending out streams to fertilize
and beautify the earth.

PRESSURES.

We are apt to think at times
that We should be happier if we
had less to do. Probably some
of US would, but we learn by
experience that life's cares are
its pleasures; that its burdens
are like the weights of a clock,
necessary to keep our machine
ry in good running order.
Stlnley tells us in his Ozark
Continent" that when crossing a
rapid stream the natives put
heavy rocks on their heads to
keep them from being carried
away by the force of the cur
rent, and thus they pas 8 safely
over. In crossing many d dan
gerous rapid in our lives we are
steadied by the burdens resting
on our shoulders, and without
them we should fail TO reach
the desired shore.
1t is better to wear out than to
rust ont. 4 watch that is not
keptrunning soon loses the pow
er to run. Keep it wound up,
and it will 60 till it wears itself
out. Omit winding and let it
lie still, and dust accumulates,
or the oil dries up or gets sticky,
and the wheels refuse to move.
We can do what we have to do,
but we cannot work more than
twenty-four hours in one day,
nor more than twelve or sixteen.
allowing time for food and sleep
When pressures are heavy. they
crowd out a lot of superfluous
work and compel us to do what
most needs doing, of.sn to our
very great advantage. We
accomplish a great deal because
we neglect all the unimportant
things nd concentrate our forces
on what cannot be neglected.
Those under heavy pressures
cannot Judge at the time how
much good they are deriving
from the weights resting on
them bnt their friends can see
| well enough how they improve
| in steadiness, in patience, in
gentleness, in power Of sympa'
thy with others, i'll forgetfulness
of self, in efficiency.
When the burden gets toe
heavy to be borne we learn what
we should have learned in the
beginning, that there is One who
will bear the burden for us an6
with US, not permitting US to bf
tempted above what we are able
tD bear.--Exchange.
