Practical Suggestion,.

The test of true religion is the answer
Ing by fire'-the purifying, cleansing
power OF the Holy Spirit, the power that
brings r~evivals. that gives spiritual life.
that enlightens the mind.
INDIGESTION in religion is stupidity and
folly and death.
In reforming the country or the church,
use all the good there already is in them I;
repair old affairs rather than build new
ones.
All that God has done for our fathers is
a power and encouragement for the work
of today. SO the Christian is strength
ened in faith by remembering what God
has lone for him in the past.
Miracles are Gods Endorsement OF his
messengers and their message.
God still answers by fire, through His
Holy Spirit. His miracles of today ara
miracles of cOnversiOn-sinners changed
to saints. nations elevated, the fruits Of
the gospel.

~Time-About b. G.. 905.
Place-Mt. Carmel, a ridge OF about
twelve miles long and LOO ieet high.
The sacrifice was about Jour miles from its
eastern end, where is a level place, a per-
ennial fountain, and near which flows the
kishon.
Rulers--Ahab, king OF Israel (thirteenth
year.; Jezebel, his queen: Jehoshaphat,
king OF Judah ninth year.
Circums,ances-A famine had been
sent upon the kingdom of Israel to bring
the people TO repentance. The suffering
had done its work, and the people were
so prepared that a reformation was posi-
BILE. They would see that Baal could not
help them, but Jehovah could. Therefore
Elijah again appeared to Ahab and de-
manded an assembly OF all the people on
Carmel to meet him and the prophets OF
Baal in q sure test as to who was the true
God. The test was an answer of fire from
heaven.
Helps Over Hard Places-25. Prophets
of Baal Priests who conducted his
worship, and who uttered sometimes
wild and frantic cries supposed to come
from the inspiration OF the Idol.
Hence they were called prophets,
j. e.. those who speak under special
divine influence. For We are many: 400.

The snake is the fashionable emblem
in New York this year. A correspondent
declares that its sinuous shape is to be
seen on hats, parasols, fans, bracelets, and
even embroidered upon the ankles OF
shspely silken hose. It would seem,
therefore, that the New York maiden may
have snakes in her boots without incur
ring the condemnation OF the righteous.

The Boys's Man,

How we'll the boys know him, the boys
man! No need to tell him this man
likes boys. He eshows tin all his actions.
If he deesn't say anything there i8 a;
kindly twinkle in his eye every time it
falls upon a boy that speaks volumes.
Perhaps he has boys at home, perhaps be
hasn't, for it isn't every father of boys
who is boys man. I have known the
father of dozen boys to be no more q
comrade for them than the pbynx.
When they were little they ran and hid
every time they saw him coming. he
frowued on all their youthful sports ard
dealt unpityingly with every boyish folly.
IT. 1.Ihave known man with no boys
y. own who loved and vas beloved by
all the boys in the neighborhood.
Happy the boys who have boys man
for father. He can join them in their
pleasure and sympathize with them in
their youthful griefs. The boys man is
rarely disturbed by the shout and laugh
of exuberant boyhood. If some sour
neighbor be not looking on he wouldn't
mind taking romp with the boys him
self. He is indulgent when they trample
through the garden in search of flying
ball, and # they invade his orchard in
search of early fruit he is more likely to
look the other way than to set the dog on
them. He is capital company to 60
hunting or fishing with, and if be knows
where the best strawberries or. blackber.
ries grow he isn't satisfied until he tells
the boys all about it. He is indulgent to
the pranks of boys.
He is never disturbed by their tin
horns and 6recrackers on the Fourth of
July, and if it would be any satisfaction
to boy watching around the corner to
see him kick an old hat with brick in
it on April FOOLS day, why he will just
up and kick it, corn or no corn. And
the boys man never licks behind. Boys
can always hang on to the hind axletree
of his buggy, or climb into the tail end
of his lumber wagon, or load down his
cutter.or bobsleds, and he never so much
as threatens them with his whip. On
the contrary he shouts '.jump 'boardp''
and becomes the jolly center of their
youthful glee.-1sgas Sytings.

FlnancIering In Georgia.

Four or five of us were waiting on
hotel veranda in Georgia town for the
bus to drive up and take US 10 the depot,
says the New York Sun, when colored
man came along, dragging after him
about the meanest looking dog you ever
saw.
"What are you going to do with him ?"
asked one of the group.
"Kill.him, sah!"
"But why?"
"No good, sah."
"Then sell him."
"Can't do it.'
"Then give him away"
Nobody would dun take him."
"I'll take him. Bring him right up
here"
"You is foolin', sah.'
"No, I amt. Here, give him to me,
and here's a quarter for you.'
He tied the dog to chair and ran over
to hardware store and bought q collar.
Then he went to dry goods store and
got half a yard of blue ribbon, and in
ten minutes the dog was blanketed up
and bowed up until he did look fancy.
BE was taken to the depot in bus, and
ne had scarcely arrived when white
man, who sat on box whiting, came
forward and said:
"What ye got thar, stranger?"
"Ohinese fox hound," replied our
friend.
"Shoo! Never saw one BEFORE"
"This is the only one in this country"
"Cost heap"
"Given to me by the Chinese consul at
Washington, but I wished he had him
back. He's SO wild after game that he
bothers the life out of me-"
"Is he all right for this climate 2"

"Good.natured ?"

"How much'll buy him 2"

man around here ought to have him."
"Will you take s2O2"
"Uml Make it twenty-five"
"Can't do it. Just got two tens here
for the dog as he stands"
"Well, I suppose you'll use him we'll
and it will be better for the dog"

purchaser headed for home with his dog

Like q Romance.

Fhe New York Tribune, of course,
attempts to lug politics into the recent
just action OF the people of New Orleans.
New Orleans people once overthrow an
iniquitous city government, in which
course they we're right, but the recent
uprising had nothing to do with politics.
Thirty or forty years ago 8 New Orleans
"mob" uprose in behalf of negro slave
and undertook to avepge his cruel treat
ment Not only this. They pursued
and would have hung the owner of the
unfortunate slave.
That owner was beautiful woman,
immensely wealthy, and the giver of
sumptuous entertainments. The story is
one of the most thrilling in the history Of
the city, SO rich in romance. It was
whispered that the lady in the case i'll.
treated certain of her slaves; kept them
chained in dungeon and subjected them
to starvation. She was, however, wo-
man of great wealth and influence, and
managed to quiet these rumors. A fire

by some of the slaves or not, is not recall.
ed. When citizens hocked to the place
and began to tear down the burning
building, the awful evidence of the NAL
treated slaves met their eyes. One Of the
poor creatures was chained and maggots
we're in his wounds. The fury of the
mob was fearful. They besieged the
palace of the beautiful woman, who, with
unparalled boldness, ordered her coach.
man to drive to her door, dressed in her
most brilliant costume and with as much
composure as if she were taking her usual
evening drive, stepped in and directed
the coachman to whip up his horses.
The maddened mob followed, but she
distanced them. She managed to mako
one of the ships in the harbor and es.
capped to Paris. This historical incident
proves that New Orleans mob could
rise even in slave days in the interest of
the slave and in the interest of humanity.
