NOTES OF WISDOM.

The "Ram's Horn" Sounds Forth Words
of Warning and Encouragement.
Where the love is little the trust is
little.
Wake up loafer and you will stir
up'a grumbler.
The mother of most religious grief
is unbelief.
Whatever God commands us to do
He helps us to do.
Too many people worship a god OF
their own making.
The most dangerous sinners are the
most respectable sinners.
God will not look at your tombstone
to see whether You are fit for Heaven.
When every church member gets
religion in his money the devil will be-
gin to run.
The battles of God can only be sue
cessfully fought by those who wear the
armor of God.
The devils first work on earth was
to try to destroy home, and he has been
at it ever since.
God does not want His children to
live on stale bread, but a great many Of
them try TO do it.
When you pray for deeper work
of grace in your heart, do you ever pray
that it may be deep enough to strike you
in the pocket?
Nobody pays any attention to a
pump when they know the well is dry.
That is one reason why the devil never
seems to put straw in the way Of some
people.

From within.

We are told that when Moses descend
ed from the mount where he received
the tables Of the law, his face shone.
So bright was its shining that he was
compelled to put veil thereon. We
wonder what it was. Was it the refec-
ton of the Divine glory in the midst OF
which he had been, for the time being,
enswathed? Rather was it not the out
shining Of the Divine life of which, in
his conference, he had received an in
stallment? 1t is the heart, after all,
that causes the face to shine. 1t is the
inner nature that gives the outward
beauty. Some fancy it is matter of
costume and cosmetics They make n
sad mistake. The effects of these will
soon pass; the radiance of the inward
life coined into beauty will shine for
ever.-Young Peoples Union.

RELIGIOUS MATTERS.
1T is OF GOD.

II there be glory in the sun,
II splendoron the sea,
Sweet music in the rils that run,
Great God, 1t is Of Thee.
The splendid broods on icy peaks
The torrents thunder fills;
1t is Thy majesty that speaks
Among the lonely hills
The sweet spring flower ever blushed
On brightest morn Of May,
The richest bird song ever gu.bed
At rosiest shut of day
The maiden moon that strayeth lone
And pensive through the SKY,
Unloosing from her silver zone
Her largesse silently
The solemn majesty Of night,
Its stiffness and it's stars,
The glory when, in growing light,
The crimson day unbars-
All could not charm, except some thought
From Thee within them stirred,
They touch mans soul, for Thou hast wrought
Their beauty by Thy word
II there be glory in the sun,
II splendor on the sea,
Sweet music in all rills that run,
Great God, it is of Thee.
God thought wollds rolled in sudden space;
He spake, and life was there;
The universe in His embrace
Reposes and is fair.

THOUGHTS FROM TALMAGE.
Proposed Truths Uttered by the Great
BROOKLYN Divine.

BROOKLYN Divine.
Happy the bee that even under lead
EN- skies looks for blosssoming buck
wheat Wise the fowl that instead of
standing in the snow with foot drawn
up under wing, ceases not all day to
pick
There are men in all occupations
who seem to act as though they
thought that pack of bonds and mort
cages could be traded off for title to
Heaven, and as though gold would be
a lawful tender in that place where it
is so common that they make pave
ments out of it. Z.
A man with deep religious experience
is always effective. l care not how
poor his voice is or how uncomely his
countenance, or how awkward his ges-
lures, or how shabby his clothes, or
how lame his grammar. BY taking
care of our own vineyard we learn how
to help others in the care of their vine
yards.
Private life is often public life turned
wrong side out. The lips that dropped
with myrrh and cassia, the disposition
that seems to be warm and bright as a
sheaf of sunbeams, may only be a mag
nificent show window to wretched
stock of goods. The harp that all day
sang like an angel may at night CRATE
like a saw.
One reason why goodness is profit
able unto the things of the life that
now is, is because it cultivates cheer
fulness, and cheerfulness is good for a
mans physical health. 1t will not re-
store a broken down constitution, or
drive rheumatism from the limbs, or
neuralgia from the temples, or pleurisy
from the side, but it puts one in such Il
condition as is mostfavorable for phys
zeal health. That believe, and that
l avow. Everybody knows that buoy
ancy of spirit is good physical advan-
tage. Gloom, unrest, detection, are at
war with every pulsation of the heart
and with every respiration of the
lungs. 1t lowers tho vitality, it slack
ems the circulation, while exhilaration

through all the currents of life.-N. Y.

COST OF LIVING IN CHIL.-A lady'S
bonnet in Chill costs from $50 to 800,
dress silk from Sc to $50 yard, and
the modiste will charge you from $50
to $50 for making it. In Santiago
paid S12 per dozen for linen handker-
chiefs of small size and ordinary quail
ity, and S18 for pair of button boots
which at home would have cost about
$3.50. I am informed that a gentle
mans suit of common clothes costs
from $50 to 500, a pair of patent
leather shoes from SIS to $50, and a
silk hat not less than $25. Breadstuffs
are correspondingly high and far be-
yond the reach of the poor Rotos.

A LOVELY SILK RUG.-One of the
loveliest rugs I ever saw was made of
silk, not for utility, but merely for
show. All the old ribbons and pieces
of light colored silk found in the fam
lily were collected together and dyed
in brilliant colors with Diamond dyes,
then cut into strips half an inch wide
and just four inches long, after which
they were knit into strips by the use
Of coarse needles and coarse knitting
cotton, piece of the silk being added
every alternate stitch, in just the man
ner our mothers used to knit fringed
mittens. The pieces of silk were add
ed in hit or miss order, and the strips
were knit in garter stitch. Three
strips six inches wide and three
fourths OF a yard long were used for
centerpiece CATER being sewed to-
gether on the under side). Then a
border six inches wide, knit in the
some manner from black silk, sur
rounds the centerpiece; after this
crimped fringe of black worsted sur
rounds the whole. The rug is mount
ed upon a heavy piece of carpeting.
BEEF TEA FOR CHILDREN.-Th best
way to make beef tea for children is
as follows: Use soup meat without
bone, cut into dice, and to every pound
Of meat use one pint Of cold water.
Cut up the meat on dish, not on
board, as the latter absorbs the juices.
Have the proper measure of water be-
side you in soup basin or bowl, and as
you cut up the meat sprinkle it mod
erately with salt and throw it into cold
water. There let it remain for two
hours, then put it all into saucepan
and set it on the fire. Watch careful
ly the rising and skim and secure this
as it is the very essence of the beef.
Put it into clean bowl, and let the
beef go on boiling for ten minutes, no
longer; then pour the extract thro'
a seive to the first skimmings. Stir
before using. For older children
than infants you can flavor with on
ion and few cloves.

The unpleasant phrase "cheap girls"
has arrested my attention more than
once, and [ have wandered what sort
of girls they are. Are they those
whose loud laughter and talking
draws to them the attention of every
one in the car? Are they those whose
voices call us to the window as they
pass? Do they wear skirts SO narrow,
shoes SO tight, waist SO small, that
their gait is an amusement or a mar
vel? Do they puff up their shoulders
above their ears, and piece their
skirts down from the top in order
that they may sweep the streets?
wonder are they the girls who place
themselves in the way Of young men?
Who "make errands" which will car
ry them into business streets, and call
frequently on girls who have broth
ers? How easily their fiimsy device
is seen through, and what sneers it
occasions. Dear girls, don't be cheap.
Don't make a bargain counter of
your church vestibule, and offer your
smiles and your vivacious talk to the
young man whose person and man
ners have pleased your fancy.-La-

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

The best covering for a poultice or
mustard pasts is tissue paper.
For a grass stain on children's
clothes, wash in alcohol while it is
fresh
Brass work can be kept beautifully
bright, by occasionally rubbing it with
salt and vinegar.
Damp salt will remove the discolor-
alton of cups and saucers caused by
tea and careless washing.
When broiling steak, throw little
salt on the Goals, and the blaze from
the dripping fat will not annoy.
To clean willow furniture, use salt
and water; apply with a nail brush;
scrub well and dry thoroughly.
A strong solution of alum to which
has been added little glycerine and
vinegar is sure cure for mosquito
bites.
Keep nickel, silver ornaments and
mounts bright by rubbing them with
wooden cloths saturated in spirits of
ammonia.
Salt as a tooth powder is better than
almost anything that can be bought.
1t keeps the teeth brilliantly white,
and the gums hard and rosy.
To drive away ants, scrub the shelves
or drawers that they frequent with
strong carbolic soap, after which
sprinkle red pepper in every crevice
To renovate scratched furniture,
dissolve beesWaX in turpentine, max
ing it Of the consistency of molasses;
apply with wooden cloth, then rub
briskly with a dry piece of flannel.
The improvement is wonderful.
The stains of ink on books and en-
cravings may be removed by using
solution of oxalic acid, citric acid or
tartaric acid upon the paper without
fear of damage. These acids take out
writing ink, but do not interfere with
the printing.
For making a useful and simple
ointment for sunburn, nothing has
been found to suit most skins better
than the old fashioned preparation of
rose water and glycerine. Proportions
may vary. AS one who uses it gives
the recipe, "a good deal of glycerine
and enough rose water" are needed.
Wild grapes make the most delicious
jelly. It's flavor is not to be equalled
by that made of the cultivated sort
Cook the grapes in a stone crock in
the oven, without the addition of wa
ter before straining. A gentle, con-
tinuous heat is necessary. Strain
once without pressure. Use three
fourths of a cup of sugar to one cup
of juice.
Gilt picture frames may be bright
ened by taking sufficient flour of sui
phur to give golden tinge to about
one and one-half pints of water, and
in this boil four or five bruised onions
or garlic, which will answer the same
purpose. Strain off this liquid, and
with it when cold, wash with a soft T
brush any gliding which requires re
and when dry it will come
out bright as new.
Dissolve alum in hot water, making
a very strong solution; apply to fur
niture or crevices in the wall with
paint brush. This is sure destruction
to all noxious vermin, and invaluable
because easily ootained; is perfectly
safe to use and leaves no traces be-
hind. When you suspect moths have
lodged in the borders of your carpets,
wet the edges of the carpets with
strong solution. Whenever it reach
es them it is certain death.
