International Agreement on silver.

LONDON. April IA well-known cur
rency authority, Ottoman Haupt, writes
to the Times to point out that almost all
the great commercial nations are wholly
users of gold or sellers of silver; that the
opening of continental minis to the free
coinage of silver is therefore out of the
question, and no practical result
can follow the suggested conference. He
thinks the free coinage of silver for private
parties by Indian minis might be sus-
pended to pave the way for "a sort OF
limping double standard" such as exists
on the continent, or later on even the
adoption of a regular gold currency in
which silver might play certain part,
though its circulation should not be in
creased

An Amusing Anecdote

Some time ago an amusing little an
ecdote related about the German
Crown-Prince while having a lesson in
grammar from his tutor. One is now
being told about the second son of the
imperial couple, Prince Eitel Fritz.
The emperor is exceedingly strict
about his sons behavior at table. Not
long ago little Prince Eitel Fritz. U.s.
ing his fingers instead Of his knife and
fork, was corrected by his father sever
al times to no purpose. At last the
patience was exhausted. and
he said:
"Children who eat with their fingers
are like little dogs that hold their food
with their paws. If you use your
fingers again you must 20 under the
table, the proper place for little dogs"
The little prince did his utmost not
to forget this time, and used his knife
and fork like man; but all at once
he forgot again and began nsing his
fingers. "March under the table,"
said his father and the boy crept
under as hidden. After a little while
the emperor, thinking the prince very
quiet lifted up the table-cloth and
peeped underneath. There sat little
Prince Eitel Fritz undressed. His
father asked him what he meant by
himself. The child an
swered, "Little dogs don't wear
they only have skin. ."-Select-

Single Temptation.

Have YOU ever heard Of the castle
that was taken with a single gun? 1t
stood on the Rhine, and It's walls were
yards thick, and the old knight who
lived in it laughed when he saw the
enemy come with only single can
non. But they planted the cannon on
a little hill, and all day long they load
ed and fired, without ever moving the
muzzle an inch. Every shot struck
exactly the same spot OH the wall, but
the first day passed and they b d
scarcely scratched the stone. So the
old knight drank up his wine cup, and
went to bed in peace. Day after day
the cannonade went on, and the more
they fired the louder the knight
laughed, and the more wine he drank,
and the sounder he slept. At the end
of week one stone was in splinters
in month the one behind it was bat
tered to powder; in ten months breach
was made wide enough for the enemy
to enter and capture the castle. That
is how boys heart is most often
taken. If had any advice to offer
I should say, Beware of the
slow sins-the old recurring Tempta-
ton which is powerful not so much in
what it is or what it does once, but in
the awful patience of its continuance.
1t is by the ceaseless battery ofa COM
Temptation that the moral
nature is undermined and the citadel
of great souls won.-ADOn.

Heaven Begun.

That is necessary for all of us. We
must have heaven in us before we get
into heaven. If we do not get to heav-
EN- before we die, we shall not get there
afterward. An old Scothman was
asked whether he ever exepeceted to
get to heaven. "Why, man, 1 live
there" was the quaint reply. Let us
all live in those spiritual things which
are the essential features of heaven.
Often go there before YOU 60 to stay

A physician was accustomed to

say:
"If I were obliged in my practice to
do without sympathy or medicine,
should prefer to do without medicine" "
There is an immense restorative pow
er in tender sympathy; and those who
practice medicine. as we'll as those who
nurse the sick, need to understand this
i'm portant fact.
And many who neither practice
medicine nor nurse the sick need to
learn the immense helpfulness there is
in genuine sympathy. The cordial
that men and women most need in
life's battle is sympathy. Speak kind,
tender, encouraging words to your
friends now. Do not keep your ala
baster loxes, full of sympathy and
affection, to break over their dead bod
les. Use them now, 80 that their
homes may be brighter, their lives of
toll and trouble fuller of sunshine and
sweetness, and their weary spirits
cheered and refreshed.
Kind words spoken after death do
not ligEten the burden or soothe the
aching spirit. Flowers laid upon a
coffin or piled upon grave cast no
fragrance backward over The weary
way. Who would not prefer a coffin
without lower, funeral without a
eulogy, burial without a tear and a
grave without a monument, TO a life
without the sweet helpfulness of love
and sympathy.
"If you have friend worth loving,
Love him. Yes, and let him know
That you love him. ere LIES evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow.
Why should good words ne'er be said
or friend-till he is dead ?"

AS / Am Known,

Our imperfect knowledge of our
selves, as well as of others, is conclu-
sive reason why we should hesitate to
pass sentence upon others. Now I
know ''in part only. There may be
many things revealed in the future
which will put new coloring into all
that concerns me. Then I shall know
"even as I am known" That will be
a.vastly different knowledge of my
self from that which I now have-per-,
haps so different that this present self
will not be recognized. A very
graphic dt scription of the way we
Fare known" is given in the one nun
dred and thirty-ninth Psalm 30
Lord, thou hast searched me, and
known me. Thou knowest my down
sitting and mine uprising, thou un-
derstandest my thought afar off. Thou
compassest my path and my lying
down, and art acquainted with all my
ways. For there is not a word in my
tongue, but 10, o Lord, thou knowest
it altogether. Thine eyes did see my
substance, yet being imperfect and
in thy book all my members were
written, which in continuance were
fashioned, when as yet there was none
Gods knowledge of us involves not,
only all that which lies between the
cradle and the grave, but the influ-
ences that have touched US in all our
relationships since we were born and
more than that, it takes in our antece-
dents, our heredity-all that affected
life or character before we came into
the world. No wonder the psalmist
said : "Such knowledge is too wonder
full for me: cannot attain unto it,"
But by and by shall know even as I
am known. Then I shall see that
God knew better than I what was
good for me. Then many mysteries
in my life will be explained. 1 shall
know the reason why He could not let
me have the things I so much wished
for, and could not suffer me to 60 the
way so much desired to take. This
same knowledge in reference to others
interprets to US somewhat His deal
ings with our friends and acquain-
tances. The thought that God knows
them better than we do helps us to
have the charity which suffers long
and is kind +. it checks the spirit of
envy where He is pleased to prosper
them apparently more than He pros
pers us !; it helps US to leave them with
their queer and crooked ways, which
we cannot understand, contentedly
with Him.

s.Sfto or ssSet,S

A writer in the Christian World
sends up this little rocket to shed
light upon the confusion existing in
the minds of many very well educa-
ted people in regard to the use of the
two words "sit" and "set'-a confu-
sion similar to that which seems to
attend upon the choice of saying
"will" or 'shall:" "a man, or wom-
an, either, can set hen, although
they can not sit her; neither can they
set on her, although the old hen might
sit on them by the hour fthey would
allow. A man can not set on the
wash bench: but he could set the basin
on it, and neither the basin nor the
gram marians would object. He could
sit on a dogs tail if the dog were will
ling, or he might set his foot on it.
But if he should set On the aforesaid
tail, or 81 t his foot there, the gramma-
rian as we'll as the dog would howl.
And yet strange it may seem, the man
might set the tail aside and then sit
down, and neither be assailed by the
dog nor the grammarians."

What Boys Should Do.

Horace Mann gives this bit of ad-
vice to boys: "You are made to be
kind, boys, generous, magnanimous,
If there is boy in school who has a
club foot, don't let him know you ev-
er saw it. If there is boy with rag
ged clothes. don't talk about clothes
in his hearing. If there is a lame boy,
assign him some part of the game
that dosen't require much running.
If there is a hungry one, give him
part of your dinner. If there isa dull
one, he Ip him to get his lessons. If
there is q bright one, be not envious
of him; for if one boy is proud of his
talents, and another envious of them,
there are too great ,and no more
talent than before. If larger or
stronger boy has injured you, and is
sorry for it, forgive him. All the
school will show by their countenance
how much better it is than to have a
great fuss. And remember who said,
Love your enemies and BLESS them
which curse yOu."'

1t is common saying that "com-
parsons are odius::" but well-neaning
persons seldom think how much per-
manent harm may result to a child
by asking it to make a comparison be-
tween certairfthings that il ought not
to have thought of comparing togeth1-
er. "Which shall 1 take away with
me-" says one,-"your dolly or your
little brother?" "Do you love mann
ma, or papa, best?" says another.
Many child is not only embarrassed,
but pained, because it is called upon
to make comparison which it suppo-
ses to be right and necersary because
it has been seriously asked to do so.
A note like this, once struck in the
heart of a child, may prove a lasting
source of discord among the harmon
les of family life, and the still higher
harmonies of the life of the individ
ual soul. 1t is better not to question
a child without first stopping to think
of all that may be involved in the ans
