A young man who was anxious to be-

few mornings ago and asked that gentle
man for advice.
"Do you know anything about the

"Yes; n great deal"
"Can you name the bones OF the skull'"
This query ratified the young man badly,

No chemical black ink has yet been
made which will write black Immediately
on exposure. The common black ink is
made OF nut gals, and is by all odds the
best ink ever made. Manuscripts written
in this black ink 500 or 600 years ago are
just as legible to-day as when first writ
ten. The chemical inks of the present are
OF too recent invention to determine
whether they will last, but il is quite
probable that most Of them will be as
legibie at the end OF fifty or seventy-five
years as they are to-day. There Ia, how
ever, a fortune in store for the man who
will invent chemical black ink which
will write black at the first and remain
so.-Globe Democrat.

Let me mete it out 10 Others that it may

stop with us. We must pass it on, for
we ourselves stagnate when our feel
ings and experiences do. Let US not
confound peace and rest with stagna-

An old Italian proverb says: "He is
richly endowed who is cheaply divert
ed" If we take view of American life,
we shall recognize how much need there
is of this rich endowment. People can
not be 'cheaply diverted" The fault
lies largely in our education. We must
learn to divert ourselves more by min
istering unto others. Let us turn more
often and more lovingly to nature. She
is never-failing source of delight and
instruction TO those who are able to re-
ceive what she can give. Then let us re-
vive the sweet and red! friendships that
used to be in the good old times" when
the world moved slower and the people
had more tine. Now the idea of friend
ship is degraded to mean an acquaint-
anceo Of variously modified degrees. We
all need friends that are true, deep
sources Of JOY and strength. But these,
too, must come through ministration.
If we would gain the greatest friend
ship we must be the greatest friend.

must not scorn them or shudder before
them. Familiarity, remember, blunts
the keenest edge. So it is best to con-
slider calmly the possibilities of the
greatest grief and suffering. A heart
broken mother, told me once she had
never thoughtit possible her child could
die, and then | understood her grief
better. She was not prepared for it in
any way; not even the poorest prepare
ton had been made. Do not, by any
means, be morbid, but let us give re-
signed recognition to all possibilities.
We shall be happier and more thankful
if we see the sternest forms of sorrow
turned away from us and standing in
the background. But we must be ac-
quainted with them, or else we shall
not be able to discern their distance
even. We must be hopeful and CHEEKY,
filling up our lives with works of love,
and then whatever comes we shall be
prepared to meet it-prepared by a
charmed life, the secret of which is mot

Make the New Year n Happv One.

Every one of our actions finds its re-
Election in the life of some one else. No
matter how humble may be our sur
roundings, we have an influence on
some other life. Individual good cheer
means general happiness. If we are
bright we brighten our neighbor; the
neighbor is an emissary TO the commu-
nifty, and the community, in turn, to
the great world at large.
Thus in the year before us we have it
pretty much in our own hands. Ma
tional advantages are ours; we need
only supply the individual elements.
The past is valuable only for the les
sons it can teach; the present for its OPP
portunities; the future for its POSSIBLE
tiles. Whatever the past year may
have meant to you make it dead his
tory. But let the new year be living
issue. With a big, fresh sponge, drip
ping with the clear water of forgive
ness, wipe clean the slate of your heart.
Enter the year with kind thought for
everyone. You need not kiss the hand
that smote you, but grasp it in cordial
good feeling, and let the electricity of
your own resolves find its connecting
current-which very often exists where
we think it not. An ill-natured thought
often makes US unhappier than the per-
son TO whom it is directed. A happy
mind is an elixir, and as are the spirits
of the wife in the home, so will be
those of the husband, who in turn will
carry them into the outer world. Do
nestle happiness often colors CONNER
cial prosperity. The hearthstone is the
corner of the counting-room. An I'M
happy wife makes blue merchant. As
we men live at home, so We work in the
outer world.
Therefore, to the thousands, yea, /
may say the million and more of women
to whom l speak with these words, let
me say: Make the new year happy
one in your home; be bright of dispo-
sition; carry your cares easy; let your
heart be as sunshine, and your life will
give warmth to all around you. And
thus will you and yours be happy

"Not to BE Ministered Unto, But to Min
ister."
The New Year has overtaken us and
carried us on with it. Those who stop
to question ask: "Where?" end
"HOw?'
The first question no one can an
swer, but the other is for us to reply to
by our acceptance of what the year
brings US. Our feelings are particular
ly keen just now. Love seems to burn
up brighter on the hearth, no matter
how brightly it burned before. Selfish
ness has for a time been conquered.
Our hearts are warm. What has
warmed them?
Tell us, grandma, was it the warm
shawl which you received at Christmas,
or the bright and unusually kind smiles,
that warmed your heart most? Could
it have been the card case from the
thoughtless granddaughter who knew
you never made calls, or YVES it the
sweet thought that she had not forgot
ten you, which made you happy?
