ChiIdrcn's Occupations.

Little girls should by all means be
encouraged TO make clothes for the;r
doll it will teach them more easily
and quickly than anything else how
to make their own garments. 1t is a
wise plan, as soon asa child is old
enough to sew at all neatly, to buy her
good-sized doll, which she is not to
take possession of till she has made
for it a complete set of clothes. Not
only should she learn to sew them, but
to cut them out; and even quite tiny
girls can learn to do this if they are
taught slowly and patiently to make
every thing iE paper first, and after
ward in calico. 1t will not he consi-
dered at all hardship-quite the re-
verse-and will save world of trou-
BILE when they are older, and begin to
make their own clothcs.H
The children's time may be employ
ed really .usefully in cutting out the
foundation for photograph frames, in
card or mill-board. A square or OBJ
long will require careful measuring.
These are afterwad coverd with velve-
teen, or any scrap of material there is
to be had: backing of thick paper is
gummed on, and a cardboard prop
stitched on ut the back easel fashion.
The delight of a child atmaking some
thing really ornamental and OF use in
the house is unhounded.
These are only very few of the oc-
cupations which can be found for the
little ones, but they may suggest 9TH
ers the point want elder sisters to
notice is, thati it is not good for child
ren to be id e. Let them play by oil
means, but they will be all the hap
pier, and far less often in disgrace, if
they have something definite to en-
poly them for part of their play-time.
It's not a good thing to force on their
studies their little brains cannot
stand much learning without being
overdone but some occupation which
will give them taste for using their
fingers not only make them happier
now, but adds much to their chances
of becoming useful men and women.

Genius n Reality.

There is school of popular philoso-
ply more than sufficiently popular at
the present day, of which the Keynote
is, that intellectually men are pretty
nearly equal, and that success is sim,
ply q matter of industry, effort ana
perseverance. Teachers of this
school quote with great approval that
astounding paradox of q great writer
that "genius is simply the faculty OF
taking infinite pains": and young men
with the most moderate endowments
are encouraged to hope that by hard
work by day, and the unlimited con-
Sumption Of midnight oil, they may
rise to rank with the master minds OF
the race. in so far as such teaching
encourages the putting forth OF the IN
dividual's best powers, it may :. not Ia, be
wholly pernciious, but that it is essen
tjally f.,se cannot be doubted. No
taking of pains will tranform the Ounce
into the genius. Each is naturally sui
reneris and will remain despite
any or every effort. Far truer is the
teaching of Goethe, who says, 1.-The
older one grows, the more one prizes
natural gifts. because by no possibility
can they be procured and stuck
on"

A woman,s Use of Titles.

l"In speaking to her husband wo
man never makes a mistake if she calls
him 'Mr.' or my husband 1t issome
times difficult to decide, when the hus
band has title, just what the wife
should do with it. This is the sever;
est rule. In speaking of her husband
she should not say General A. or DR.
B.. but Mfr. a. Mr.. B. No matter
what he is, Judge, Governor, Captain
to her he is, and should be plain MT
a. Mrs. Grant never, even when hel
husband was president, spoke OF him
other than Mr.. Grant, though it ls tht
custom of the presidents wife to speah
of him as the president.
The one exception to this rule OF ls
nor;pg her husbands official or pro-
fessioHal titles is when the wife pre-
sents him to any one else. Then she
says My husband, Senator Smith, OF
simply 'Dr. Jones. The reason fol
this is evident. 1t gives the proper
clue to the stranger who would wish,
of course, TO address the new acqualn'
tence with the proper title.
"IIast of all, let any wife take heeo
how she wears her husbands title and
allows herself to be spoken of as Mrs
Governor jones' or Mrs. Secntary

husband has, she has no more right te
wear it than she has 10 wear

The Ministry of Sorrow.

THERE is nothing from which we
shrink instinctively more than from
sorrow, We are too apt to regard it as
a manifestation of Gods anger towards
us, and not to remember that "whom
He loveth he chasteneth." 1t may be
in the tenderest love that he sends the
sorrow, which for the time indeed
seemeth to be grievous.
There is no gain, either spiritual or
material, without cost. The sculptor
could not free the beautiful statue
without repeated blows upon the rough
marble block; the diamond would be
nothing but a rough pebble if it were
not polished into brilliant beauty; and
there is much in the human heart
that can only be developed by suffer
ing. This thought ought to help Us to
suffer patiently, since painful though
the process may be, it tends to our
Acknowledgment and growthin grace
For the sake of becoming better and
purer, as we shall become if we bear
sorrow Alright, we can endure the
cloud which shuts the sunshine out Of
our lives for the time. There Is high
er thought than this to comfort us, how
ever. If we sulilr, and learn through
our suffering how tender and compass
sionate our Heavenly Father is when
his children are in trouble. then we
can carry the comfort wherewith we
have been comforsed to others In af-
Fiction, and become ministering an
gels to those who sorrow. "WhosO
sutfereth much hath much to give"
Is it not worth while to suffer, since
through that suffering we may be en-.
abled to.giye royalty to those who need
our help? If we have learned for our
selves the sweet lessons of comfort,
we can whisper them to others who
have not perhaps learned to know the
Saviour's love. If they know that you
speak from the depths of your own
heart-experience, they will listen far
more readily than if they think that
you are bringing them comfort from
other sources. Surely the ministry of
sorrow is a blessed one, although we
may shrink from it at first. If we
think of it as Gods appointment for
us, we can accept 1t submissively and
strive nos to lose its blessings, but let
it work out its gracious ministry with
out murnluring at its presence.

Whpu Thou Fastest.

Fasting is prescribed in the General
Guile of our Church, but it is not ob
served in the general practice OF oul
pcople. tits ali unused lileans OF grace
| i'm Methodsm. 1t has been said that
Christ did not commando it; yet he as
sunled that His disiples would fast.
He gave us His example OF forty days
of fasting; and the Christian Church
at large commemorates His fast by the
observance of Lent. Are we gamers
or loosers by ignoring the practice OF
fasting? Without discussing the ques-
ton at length, a few suggestions may
be useful.
Fasting may become means OF
grace ito keep the body under" Mus
cular Christianity too often dominates
where it ought to serve the spirit. Phy-
steal appetites and passions open IN the
way for an asendent animalism. The
cries of the body drown the suppllca-
tons of the spirit. Now who will say,
that a denial of these appetites and
lusts of the flesh does not minister to
the vigor of the soul? There are
special dangers in these days of dainty
dishes. Self-denial may be practiced
by abstinence from pleasant food as a
modification of the flesh. Bishop
James abstained from coffee in his last
years on that ground only. Are there
not thousands of disciples OF Jusus
who wonld be gamers spiritually by O
voluntary abstinence from customary
indulgence? -, :.
Fasting may became, on the other
hand, means of injury to the SOUL
If the practice be not directed by a
true spiritual purpose, it becomes q
mockery at once to God and the spirit.
1t tends to pride and false assurance
The reaction toward excessive lnoui'
gence is sure to follow. Against such
formal fasting Christ cautioned his dls'
ciples.
Between the excessive rigor OF the
monk, who not only denies the appea,
tites of the body but lashes himself
with knotled throngs, and the almost
contempious disregard of abstinence
as a means of grace by many who serve
the Master, q middle way should oe
followed. In that way we may tinc
how best to eubject the body to the
spirits highest good, an1 how to main
tain, at the same time, a healthy sou
in sound body.

Our Habits with our Hands.

What to do with the hands, especi-
ally on important socinl occasions, is
with many persons, even of cultured
habits, often a disturbing problem.
No one likes to appear awkward, and
frequently the very dread of doing so
precipitates the result that was feared.
Quite selfpossession, especially amid
unwonted scenes, is the solution of all
perpleXing matters of this sort /; but,
unfortunately, the command to be
self-possessed is much easier to give
than to obey. What to do with the
hands, therefore, is best solved by
doing nothing with them. If no
thought is given them, they will ma
lurally take care of themselves
in a manner that will attract no atten-
ton and give no modification to the
possessor. One thing, however,
should be early instilJed into the prac-
tice of children, as it is then most ea-
silly made rule of conduct: Keep
the hands at rest to do. The practice
of necessarily toying with whatever
may be within reach is one of the
most annoying imaginable in that
class of habits which do not directly
affront other people, and it is not by
any means confined to those who
might be classed as illbred.
An incident will illustrate the prac-
tical phase of this habit. The writer
once noticed clergyman whose fin
gers were never at rest. No sooner
was his prayer bcgun than they began.
While tbs man of God prayed long
and earnestly, his busy fingers expor-
ed every portion oil the external sur
face of the reading desk. They found

of the plush was traced back and
forth as though to find possible en-

and when finally small rent in the

the fond persistence with which the

drawn apart and exposed, that the OBJ
iect of all the research was at last real

the perpetrater was of course oblivious
and that was the worse phase of the
matter the habit had become fixed
and is doubtless lifelong possession
such as it tis.-Good Housekeeping.

Keeping our promises.-Many peo-
pie promise anything you ask of them,
but make a small matter of keeping
their promises. They enter into en-
gagements with you to do this or that,
to meet you or call on you at certain
time or to do some favor for you, and
utterly fail to fulfill their engagements.
Surely we ought to keep. sedulous
watch over ourselves in this regard.
We ought 10 be faithful to the promis-
es we make, cost what it may. 1t is a
noble think when we find one whoee
promises we are as sure of as OF the
rising of the sun; whose simplest
word is as good as his oath; who does
lust what he says he will do at the mo-
ment he says he will do it. That is
the kind of faithfulness God
wants.

Loves Magnetism.

Love begets love. IT is process OF
induction. Put piece of iron in the
presence of All electrified body, and
that piece of iron for time becomes
electrified. 1t is changed into tenn
porary magnet by the mere presence
of ornament magnet; and as long
as you leave the two side by side they
are both magnets alike. Remain side
by side with Him who loved us and
gave Himself for us, and you too, will
become Il permanent magnet, per
manently attractive force; and like
Him. you will be drawn unto all men.
That is the inevitable effect of love.
Any man who fulfills that cause must
have that effect produced in him.

ForsakinS Tire Master.

Church members often think that
they are only turning away from their
pastor or fellow Church members, when
in fact they are forsaking Christ Him
self. 1t is little short OF treason to
Christ to take otltnse rs easily as many
do. The rebellous spirit which takes
them out of the Church and fills the

them just as far away from their meek

Where the Shoe Pinches.

The Churchman has been exhorting
the Episcopal clergy to plain and hon.
est dealing with their people about
their shortcomings. A rector shows
where the rub is. He writes "You
must know perfectly we'll that, with
few and those mostly city exceptions,
the clergy are absolutely dependent for
their power to preach at ali upon their
popularity. The shrewd Negro past"-..
thought it unwise to pre'"' - bis

.u.ykens, lest it might cause a cool
ness 1t is all very well to tell us that
we have nothing to do with conse-
ouences-that we have only to do our
duty-to speak the word of God with
power, etc. But we are not all heroes,
nor wise men; no, nor even the ma
jority of us, that we should take q
course which, in three cases out of
four, would soon cost us our places,
and that not merelya given rectorship,
but the possibility of getting any 9th

affairs. When preacher has 70 seek
popularity to stay in a.charge he had
better be without charge. If he is
pastor because he seeks popularity, his
people better have no pastor. Wonder
if any Methodist preacher ever lost
place and caste because he dealt faith
fully with his people? Wonder if
Methodist preachers gain their popu-
larity by their honest and plain deal
ing? Wonder if our Churches are
clamorous for the men of honest deal
ing? But if Methodist or Episcopal
preachers cannot do this plain, per
sonal dealing with their people, what
are they tit for?
