WHAT IS THE TONGUE For p
"Since God made the tongue-,and he
never makes anything in vain-we
may be sure he made it for some good
purpose. What is it, then ~ asked a
teacher one day Of her class.
"He made it that we may pray with
Sit," answered one boy.
ITO sing with" said another.
ITO talk 70 people WITH" said a
third.
"Tc recite our lessons with" replied
another.
Yes; and I will tell you what he
did not make it for. He did not make
lit for US to scold with, to lie with, or
! to swear with. He did not mean that
we should say unkind or foolish, inde-
cent or impatient words withit. Now,
boys, think every time you use your
tongues II you are using them in the
way God means you to. Do good with
your tongues, and not evil. It is one
Of the most useful members in the
whole body, although it Is so small.
Please God with it every day.

A CITE ANINE-Tl

A CUTE CASINE.-The story going
the rounds regarding a cat that digs
!angle worms and then buries them
near its own hiding place, and when
the birds come to catch the worms the
cat catches the birds, has a rival in
that Of dog, whose mate, though
larger and able to monopolize the most
toothsome bone, is withal possessed of
"a most excitable temper for game.
When he finds and proceeds to MUNICH
his bone to the exclusion of all Others,
the former canine goes short dis
tance, barks furiously up tree or by q
hole in the ground. When his mo-
nopolistic friend finally becomes so ex-
cited as to leave his bone and join the
hunt for supposed game the former
rushes back. seiZes the bone thus left,
and skurries away with it.-Augusta
Me- Journal.

Her Secret.

Miss Townley's class in the Sunday
school was always full. OF the thir-
teen members that composed it, the
average attendance was eleven-the
| largest average attendance of any class
in school. She had begun with three
pupils, and they had been steadily
added TO until the present number was
reached.
How do you manage to keep them
and make them punctual and add TO
their number so constantly y" said u
co-te;cher to her one day.
"In the first place." replied Miss
Townley, ~ am always there myself.
and before the school begins. My pu-
pills are sure to find me there when
they come. I may miss the morning

'Then we know farmers return mules

ease is universal, and now what is the
remedy? The best and only etfectual
way of securing cooperative equality in

curing economy and efficiency in county

such as existed here before the war in

THE PHOSPHATE BEDS,

The next subject to which beg to
cali your attention is the management of
the States phosphate beds. Nothing
with which this Legislature has to deal
can equal this il importance and value to
the tax payer. | am cnlE sorry that l
know so little about it. For five years
much my time has been directed 10 a
study of this question, and no opportu-
nifty for acquiring correct information
has been neglected. But the octopus
which seized on the industry twenty-one
wears ago has kept the water turbid with
its inky 1luid and while those on the in
side have, many of them, grown rich, the
tax PAYERS and misrepresentation know
very little about it. and every effort has
been made to keep the facts from the
public.
