A great Western railway company has made an experiment among it's workmen that has moral significance. Over 200 miles of broad gauge railway had to be transformed to narrow gauge in the shortest possible time. Five thousand men were employed by the company to do this and they worked two successive days of l7 hours each, with only short intervals for meals. The company knew that the strain on the men would be eX- eeptional. They also believed that, if the men took their usual tonic of beer, they would be incapable of doing the work so water was supplied in which quantities of oatmeal were soaked. This was furnished to the men freely, with the result of proving, not only to the managers of the work, but to the men themselves, that for hard and continuous labor oatmeal water far surpassed beer in it's sustaining qualities. The over seers of the work were so impressed with the result of their experiment on these 5000 men that they are really preaching the use of oatmeal water to all men employed on the road and many of them have given up the use of beer. It has long been known that oatmeal wa ter possesses peculiar hygienic qualities for those who work in excessive heat and the firemen on the great transAt- lantic liners are freely supplied with it.

Types of Woman.

The handsome woman is usually large and her features are regular and strong ly outlined. She may be blonde or bru- nette, gay or reserved, but I never think of any name but handsome for her i, she is never pretty, lovely nor charming to me. She is handsome. And place her with my camelias and daiilias and other attractive but seentless flowers. The lovely woman is quite another type. She may be large or small, distinctly beauti- ful, pretty or merely interesting, but she is always spoken of as lovely. She is sell dom forcefui in character or notieeably strong; but she possesses an individuali- ty of her own and is always winning and never aggressive. Without any effort on your part, you always feel chat she Is un- selfish, kind hearted and pure minded. She is great favorite with her sex and men always give her an idolized sort of friendship. place this woman among my sweet lilies and mignonette. Then there is the distinctly intellectual wom- an, who is So alarmingly we'll informed on all subjects and so anxious to have you recognize her mental superiority. She has thought on every subject under and over the sun and has formed her con- yictions on all matters and the instant you broach subject she hastens to in- form you she knows all about it. She sometimes possesses handsome features, but her too active intellect has sharpen ed them and hewed away the curves of beauty. She thinks out her answer a sentence ahead of your remarks and waits for you to finish with mere tolerance. Her woman friends speak of her as such an intelligent person! The useful, health- ful, buI strong and tear starting leek is suggested by this woman. The useful girl is another type. She can sew, get a dinner if need be, amuse children, assist in getting up entertainments for other people to participate in, dance enough to fill up an impromptu set, play cards we'll enough to take hand when the old peo- pie need her and she is all excellent nurse and reads aloud well and sings little enough to rock a child to sleep or help out chorus. Everybody makes use of her and everybody likes her; she has no enemies and no lovers. Women like her very much and men speak highly of her if she is brought to their attention in any way but they never think about her vol untarily. She is like the green, everlast- ing, or old fashioned, live forever plant; not beautiful, but indispensable in gar den, as it is needed to serve as back ground for bright flowers, but 10 one, cares for it for itself. Then there are the pretty girls pretty with youth and hope and good spirits generally, who have no distinguishing traits. but who please the eye like the common field daisies, buttercnps and clover blossoms chat grow by the wayside. And there are the critical, pessimistic, fault finding, fault discovering women who always; make you feel dissatisfied with yourself and the world and these are the prickly pears, the burrs and thistles of woman kind.

THE BEE BUZZ.

A certain vigor of body and mind is needful to enable any one to enjoy the common pleasures of this life. Health is the grand condition of happiness and the health of any function depends upon it's natural and proper activity. If we would enjoy something, we must do something. If we would enjoy bodily exercise, we must take bodily exercise. To enjoy walking, one must learn to walk and keep himself in training to that end. Vigorous legs will almost walk of themselves, but, if one seldom walks, walking ceases to be a pleasure and becomes dreaded task. And so of riding or rowing or any sort of athletics. Activity is the law of life; inactivity is death. One may sit and do nothing un- til there is neither motive nor inclination nor power to stir and the body is bedrid- den and one becomes the victim of the involuntary movements of capricious nerves. Every function was meant for happiness of it's particular kind. There is happiness in the power of thought and imagination. The mind which is trained to think takes delight in sugges- tion and grows vigorous by thinking. Happy is the man who thinks for him. self and finds food for thought in the ex- periences of his own life. Blessed is the man who has the right motive to do some good in the world, for to such an one the highest pleasures of life come as the natural result of the highest activity.
 The greatest differences in men are seen in matters of faith. People gener- ally do as they really believe and not as they pretend to believe. The worst inf delity in the world is wicked life. By their fruits ye shall know them. See what they do and what they leave un- done and you can repeat for them the articles of their faith as in their hearts they believe. A man of experience can tell what sort of religion prevails as he drives or walks over the highways of community. Not what church or sect is strongest, do mean at all, for there are faithful and unfaithful of every name under heaven, but what the living faith of the heart is as seen in it's works of righteousness and holy love. Men who really believe in the Kingdom of heaven and pray for it's coming on earth will try to make the earth little more like heav- en by doing those things that will make life here as they believe it to be there. Faith has always led men to live for others and to plan better things for those to come. It plants fruit trees for those yet unborn; it builds better roads for the sake of the rising generation; it es tablishes and endows higher school that the children may be wiser and better equipped for the work of life. And so faith works and it works by love and for the present good of all men. here and now.-[O. o. Wright.

Without Christ, men are destitute of spiritual life. There must be a divine life, divine center, a more than human bond. This life is ill Christ. This bond is from him. In him are condensed all human relationships, as of ''brother and sister and mother" and to these-higher and holier-that of Savior is added. In him, as the second Adam; in his match less character, human, yet divine; in his all embracing and self sacrificing love ; in him, as the champion of humanity in it's weakness and guilt, able and willing to bring succor in the hour of it's direst need and to raise it up from the darkness and the dust of death, there is every req uiste for center of unity for the race, so that "all things which are on earth," as we'll as s'those which are in heaven, may be gathered together in one, even in him.

The American Bible society has begun crusade against the Sunday school les son leaflet. From it's experience among the S,0O0,000 Sunday school children in this country, the board of managers is convinced that the children of the pres ent day have but an indifferent knowl- edge of the Bible and, in recent report, emphasize the importance of supplying every child who can read with Bible of it's own, especially for Sunday school use. The management believes that, under the system of teaching now in vogue, the Bible is made wholly subor- dinate to the leafet and this conclusion forms the basis of the present undertak- ing. Rev Dr Alexander Mclean, the corresponding secretary of the society, says: II believe it to be fact that the greater number of the Sunday school children know little or nothing of the Bible as a book and cannot tell what be- longs to the Old Testament or what be- longs to the New Testament. It is too often the case that the only Bible in the Sunday school is the one on the superin- tendent's desk; and it is not alone the children who are ignorant of the Scrip lures. but very frequently the teachers themselves

The Pope says in the encyclical of Ju- ly l6 as to Columbus celebrations that he cannot doubt that Columbus was pri- marily inspired by the Roman Catholic faith and that the difference between him and other discoverers of unknown lands was that Columbus was animated by the spirit of religion which sustained his genius and fortified his constancy.
