Short Sunday Texts.

Always expect something from God.
Cold prayers meyer bring warm
blessings.
When God says shout, don't try to
say no.
For the thankless man there is no
blessing.
The devil has one hand On the man
who does not give.
The man that tells good news always
has pleasant voice.
If some of US would pray more we
would grumble less.
Eve took one apple. Adam would
have shook the tree.
You are not pleasing God unless you
are happy Christian.
There is no safe place for the man
who is not right with God.
Too many of the Lords sheep are be-
ing raised on chop feed.
The man who never looks ahead al
ways has to fall back.
An ungrateful man is man the
devil has no fault to find with.
No man can be any stronger than
the foundation he stands upon.

Golden Thoughts.

In true progress, order is everything
Not to correct our faults is to commit
new ones.
Reading makes full man; writing
an exact man. Bacon.
1t is not what we assert, but what we
receive, that leads to knowledge.
No friend of good cause was ever
made by the persecution Of its enemies.
When you have learned to live WE'LL
you will know the Joy that there is IN
life.
The Only method Of education is ex-
perience; the only test Of character Is
liberty.
The love CT the perfect man is uni
versal love; love whose Objects is all
mankind.
To be right is to do nothing that fails
to commend itself to just mind and a
gentle heart.
Strive to know the best that has been
thought and written i'll the world.
Success in this world depends as
much upon the way work Is taken up as
upon the amount of effort put forth.
External worship without internal
may be compared to the life Of respira'
ton without the life of the heart.

Words of Wisdom.

Cheek is often mistaken for courage.
No man can know any more truth
than he will live.
Selfshness is only another name tor
the spirit Of murder.
Truth makes men gentle. Theory
makes them blgoted.
If there wasn't any opposition, there
couldn't be any progress.
The biggest coward you can find any
where is the man who is afraid to do
right.
The man who never gives away any
thing, cheats himself out of good deal
Of satisfaction.
There isn't much charitable work
done in this world by people who do
not.believe in another.
1t is hard for the man who has just
eaten a good dinner to realize that any.
body else can be hungry.
If experience teaches anything, it
teaches that no man eau live for him
self, and do himself any good by doing
it.
One of the easiest things for some
people to do, is to persuade Themselves
that it isn't their d1fy to do anything.

First Descent in a Diving Suit.

The first plunge leaves no agreeable

precoution which | found useless in the
Mediterranean. With knit wooden
hose, cap and shirt | have never felt
the cold. Then comes the ample coat,
which we get into through the neck

as if one had his head in a kettle.
Then they put on you a belt with a
dagger SalQe.s with loaded soles- ..ss I,
lead at your breast and back. Now Won
arc so loaded that you could hardly
stand straight if the boat should tin:
then you 60 down into the water where

The Wrong Man.

Here is a story which may involve a
prominent Southern railway in heavy
damages. A Kentuekian, who had
been drinking heavily, asked the
colored porter at what hour Coyington
would be reached.
1.-Two O'Clock ter morer mornin', q"
answered the darkey.
"Waal, " said the traveller, "I've
been Grinding pretty freely. When we
git thar put me off. When you come
to call me you may find me remonstra-
tive and fighting drunk, but there are
two dollars for you to pay for all injuries.
Mind, now, want to get off at Coving-
ton-you understand"
Guess | do, boss, said Jeff, as he
pocketed the bribe "Doan't matter
how yer kickoff yer goes-sure. -
At six O'Clock next morning, as the
train was entering Cincinnati, the big
Kentuckian awoke. He grabbed his
gripsack, and with fire in his eye he
sought the negro, who was standing At
the extreme end Of the aisle. When
Jeff saw the man he turned almost
white, and his eyes diated until the
pupils stood out like butter plates.
Didn't give you two dollars TO put
me off at Cdyington, heyl" hissed the
traveller between his tcelll

as tho perspiration started ont all over

The Human Figure

From the crown to the nape Of the
neck is one-twelfth the stature of the
perfectly formed man.
The hand from the wrist to the end
Of the middle finger is one-tenth of the
total height Of man Of perfect proper
tions.
A man Of good proportions is as tall
as tie distance between the tips Of HIS
fingers when both arms are extended at
full length.
The face, from the highest point Of
the forehead where the hair begins to the
end of the chin, is one-tenth of the whole
stature of the man of perfect mold.
If the face, from the roots of the hal r
to the chin, be divided into three equal
parts the first division determines the
place where the eyebrows should meet
the second the opening Of the nostrils,
if perfectly formed.
The proportions Of the human figure
are six times the length of the right
foot Whether the form is slender or
plump the rule holds good on an aver
age. Any deviation from the rule is a
departure from the beauty of proper
ton. It is claimed that the Greeks
made all their statues according to this
rulc.
