RELIEF IN LUNG TRoUBLES.-It
has long been known that pine nee
die pillows would alleviate persons af-
fected with lung troubles, and Flori-
da editor relates an incident in sup
port Of the fact as follows: A lady
having heard that there was peculiar
virtue in a pillow made from pine
straw, and having none of that mate
rial at hand, made one from fine, soft,
pine shavings, and had the pleasure of
noting immediate benefit. Soon all
the members of the household had
fine shaving pillows, and it was
noticed that all coughs, asthmatic or
bronchial troubles abated at once after
sleeping few nights upon a mattress
made from pine shavings. The mate
rial is cheap and makes very pleas
ant and comfortable mattress, the odOr
of the pine permeating the entire
room and absorbing or dispelling all
unpleasant odors.

KEEPING THE WoRD.-"In keep
ng of them there is great reward
What is meant by keeping the testi-
monies of Gods Word? TO keep the
Word of God is, first of all, earnestly
to study it so as to become acquainted
with its contents. Know your Bible
from beginning to end. I am afraid
there is but little Bible searching now
adays. If the Word of God had been
diligently studied, there would not
have been so general departure from
its teachings. Bible reading people
seldom 60 off to modern theology.
Those who feed upon the Word of
God enjoy it much to give it up.
Comparing spiritual things with spir-
itual, they learn to prize all revealed
truth, and they hold fast the faith
once for all delivered to the saints.
Dear young people, if you never read
a single book of romance you will lose
nothing; but if you do not read your
Bibles you will lose everything. This
is the age of fiction, and hence the age
of speculation and error leave fiction,
and give yourself wholly to the truth.
Eat We that which is good, and spend
not your money on that whick is not
bread. The Bible is the Thesaurus of
heavenly knowledge; the Cycloedia
of Divine science; read, mark, learn,
and inwardly digest the same, and
then you will be keeping the sayings
of God.

BlunderS.

Everybody commits blunders at one
time or another in their lives; some
people are always laundering, some
yery rarely. To both those who are
frequent blunderers and those who are
infrequent comes alike the question,
"What are you going to do about IT."
AS q general answer to that question
perhaps, "Admit the blunder frank
w." is as good as any that can be Civ
en-; laugh at it. if it can be laughed
at, as heartily as anybody else does,
repair it if it can be repaired, never re-
peat it, and forget it but not the lesson
of it.
It is q melancholy fact that we often
feel worse over our blunders than we
do over our sins, probably because the
offended majesty of God is less real TO
US than the sorry plight our blunder
puts US in before our fellows. II ever
tsmisery loves crmpany" it is when we
are conscious of having blundered.
Then it is q comfort to think that 9TH
er people have blundered too. II
when they have done so we can re-
member that We covered them with
the mantle of charity, and their blun-
der with the mantle of oblivion, We
may hope to receive the like treat
ment.
We usually prefix the word stupid
to the word blunder and say stupid
blunder, but the noun is just as signi-
ficant without the adjective, which is
merely a vent for our feelings, and al
innocent one.
Yonnp neople are more apt to blum.
der than older ones, chiefly because
they haven't been through the entire
category of blunders as their elders
haye and learned to avoid committing
them. After being tripped here and
there along the pathway one learns to
place his feet carefully and avoid what
would make him stumble, and when
he see another fellow mortal bite the
dust, he smiles to himself at the re-
membrance Of how he once was in
just that ungraceful position from a
like provocation.

A Perfect Definition.

A writer in the CornhiU Magazine
tells the following touching story
A mistress, whose school is situated
in one of the lowest parts of the me-
tropolis, sends me very pleasing de-
scription of a scene in her school on
"inspection day"
Her Maiesty's inspector was exam
ining the first class in reading. ON
each little girl finishing her prescribed
paragraph, the inspector further tested
her intelligence by putting question
on the meaning of some Word or
phrase which occurred in the piece
the child had read. The mistress in
forms me that the inspector had such
pleasant, chatty manner that sne
really believes her girls looked for
ward to and enjoyed his visit. If any
child failed to answer question put
by this gentleman, it was not because
she was timorous or nervous, but be-
cause of incapacity, or on account OF
faultiness or weakness in tuition.
A dear child called Mary Cooper had
read her allotted piece with such ap-
propriate emphasis and such sympa-
thy of expression that the inspector
said to her in his kind, sincere man.
ner, THAT was really beautiful, my
chiid.n "And now," he added, III
you can tell me the meaning of the
word turf I shall give you my very
best mark"
Meanings of words are mountains OF
difficulty to some children and the
tears almost started to Mary's eyes be-
cause she realized that the Inspector
had chanced to drop on word whose
meaning she had not lately studied.
Poor child! / wonder how often she
had frolicked and tripped over Ma
ture's emerald carpeting! Possibly
never. But Mary had plenty of deter
mination, she felt that her very Lille al
most depended OH giving an answer
and she lost no time in exercising herr
little brain to the utmost for some KIND
of definition /; apd just as the inspeee-
tor was saying, "Well, never MIND,
child, will pass on" she eagerly ex-
claimed, Turf, sir, is grass and clean
dirt stuck together by God" "A
most excellent definition" said the in,
spector "in fact. the answer | looked
for was not nearly 50 precise as that;
You have gained my highest mark"

The famous st. Bernard dogs are
very carefully trained. A traveller
who visited some of the monasteries
of the monks of ST. Bernard few
wears ago found the monks teaching
their dogs from the earliest stages of
puppyhood. Not only is physical and
mental training included in the teach
ing, but spiritual culture is by no
means neglected. At meal-time the
dogs sit in row, each with a tin dish
before him containing his repast.
Grace is said by one Of the monks;
the dogs sit motionless with bowed
head. Not one stirs until the "Amen"
is spoken. If frisky puppy partakes
of his meal before grace is over an old
er dog growls, and gently tugs his ear.

Serve the Lord with Gladness.

The keynote of Christian life is a
note of gladness. Brought up out OF
the horrible pit ard the miry clay, q
new song is put in his mouth. The
Saviour who comes to redeem him
from sin and from death was heralded
by angel anthems and the message OF
His Coming is one of "glad tidings
and great JOY to all people" Sorrow
full, yet always rejoicing, is the apos-
tolic description Of the Christian life.
Exhortations to "be joyful in the
Lord" to "rejoice evermore," are con-
tinual, and the people of God are
again and again admonished to "fear
not,n to "rejoice in the Lord" to "be
of good cheer" and to hold fast theil
boldness and the clarifying of their
hope firm unto the end. Heb. iii 6.
If every Christian was a joyful
Christian !; if his life, beginning with
the new song of salvation, rolled its
notes of gladness onward and upward
until they were lost in the halleujahs
of the eternal kingdom, how different
would their testimony be in the ears OF
q weary, heavy-laden, heart-burdened
world. The world is sick with sorrow
and signing, with sadness and mad.
ness. "There be many that say, who
will show us any good?" Men turn
their blind eyes to seek for light, and
stretch out their empty hands to grasp
at something which can satisfy them.

Lord is gracious" if you have found
the "pearl of great price," if you have
known the joys of Gods salvation, lei
your aspect, your bearing, your counte:
nance, your tones, yonr words and
your testimony tell of "the joy Of God
within and the hope of glory' to
come. So doing you shall gladden.

George Ross was sent out by his
employer recently to drive a stray
horse from the yard adjoining the
residence. When Ross approached
the horse it rushed at him and bit
him in the forehead and cheek.
Ross started TO run across the field,
and the pursuing him knocked
him down and attempted to trample
on him.
Ross succeeded again in getting
out Of the way, and jumping to his
feet tried to escape. The horse,
however, pursued him and biting at
his shoulder tore large piece Of
flesh from it. The man screamed
in agony and the attention of a
negro who was passing was at
tracted. He instantly jumped the
fence and, picking up a piece of
rail, started towards the man and
beast on a run.
Before he could reach them the
horse had knocked Ross to the
ground and this time struck him
on the head with his hoof. instantly
killing the unfortunate man. The
negro arrived on the spot. but
tripped over the rail and fell to the
ground. striking his head on a
stone and being rendered uncon.
scious. The horse paid no atten.
ton to the negro, who, after the
Infatuated beast had been shot, was

better for buildings than steel or iron
joists. The two latter materials. he ex-

would sustain heavy strain for much
longer period when exposed to great

been charred it does not burn SO readily
