For those who follow the Lamb
whithersoever he goeth, war is never
right. The great law of Chist is the
law of love; and since no kind of war
can ever consist with this love, 1t is
indisputable that where love prevails
as it ought, war must entirely cease

Parents, and those who have the
charge of youth, should impress on
their minds all adherence Of war.
The causes, the sinfulness, and the
misery of war should be explained to
them, and they should be trained up
with the love of man and the love of
peace.-William Cogswell.

Impurity sees only impurity, and
doubts the very existence Of God.
Selfishness does not believe that there
is such thing as unselfishness In the
world. Dishonesty questions every
mans motive, and says there is no dis
interested benevolence. Hate refuses
all offers of sympathy and aid. These
malign feelings and affections carry
with them their own cad. sting and
curse. Sin thus degrades man in his
own eyes and in the eyes of the slaves
of sin aud impoverishes him. It robs
true fellowship based on mutual conf
dence. 1t robs him Of selfrespect. 1t
robs him of peace. Bishop E. r.

Reckless Waste of Flowers.

The extravagant use of flowers in
fashionable circles is almost reckless.
Evidently the tender feeling of the late
Lord Lytton toward the lovely blossoms
has little counterpart. what" said
he, shave the flowers done that they
should be consigned to graves and
vaults?" And, respecting his wishes,
Lady Lytton permitted not the smallest
rosebud nor tiniest violet to be placed in
his coffin.
Costly and beautiful boxes and bas-
kets of flowers are sent to sick friends,
to be carefully banished from the sick
room and waste their sweetness unno-
ticed and unappreciated anywhere; at
every feast and function flowers are
everywhere, and are often glanced at
only to estimate their cost; some Bsthet-
ic hostesses, in lieu of bowls and vases
scattered through the rooms, strew the
flowers loosely about without water to
revive their dropping heads, and in
consequence they quickly fade and die.
One even went so far as to toss them on
the divans and throw them over the
rugs for seated and trampling guests to
bruise out their delicate fragrance.
Could anything be more barbarous? To
real flower lovers this wasteful profu-
sion approaches a sin.-Her Point of
View in New York Times.

Americas Paper Making Capacity.

Americas Paper Making Capacity.
The United States has capacity for
producing about 1920, 900 pounds of
paper annually. not counting the idle
mills, of which at present about seventy
are reported, out of total of 1,lS0 OF
this enormous product some 3,735,000
pounds are used in printing newspapers
and books, and 212, 800 pounds more go
to help bind the books printed. 1t is
estimated that 49S,000 pounds are con-
sumed by the building trades; 3,176,000
pounds of wrapping paper are used and
$4,000 pounds of writing papers. An
important item is the production Of
nearly 1,G0O, 600 pounds of press, straw
and wood pulp "boa1ds." The produc-
ton of "artifcial leather" fortunately
for the purchasers of shoes, has been de-
creasing since 1884, when 129, 900 pounds
of this material were produced. The
most rigid economy is practiced in pa
per making; hence the high degree Of
mechanical skill and executive ability
connected with this industry as com.
pared with the cost of the product

HOW Ancient Dive. Were secured.


Two kinds of boring sea snails sup
piled in ancient times the most famous
of all dyes, known as Tyrian purple,
which was considered too splendid to be
worn by any but kings and mobiles. One
pound of wool dyed with it was worth
$175, the process by which it was ex-
tracted being very tedious and six
pounds of dye liquor being required for
staining pound of WOOL The liquor
was procured by placing the very small
whelks in a mortar and crushing them.
To this the animals extracted from the
larger shells were added, as we'll as GER
tain proportions Of urine and water in
which the snails had been allowed to
putrefy. In the mixture thus COM
pounded the cloth or wool to be dyed
was soaked, being afterward exposed to
light. Chemists say that by this proc
ess there was effected a transformation
of uric acid into purpurate of ammonia,
termed for short "murexde," because
one of the two species Of snails used was
the murex. The other species was what
is known as the purpura.
The murex and purpura were mixed
in the process in the proportion of two
to one. Fabrics thus dyed had a very
surprising and beautiful effect of color,
presenting metallic green reflections
from one point of view and in others
showing brown and purple tints. Chem
lists for some time imagined that the
iridescence of the feathers Of humming
birds and peacocks was caused by sub
stance of the nature of murexide, but it
is known now that these brilliant hues
are occasioned by a structure Of the
feathers which breaks up the light.
Mure1de is now obtained from guano
as well as from mollusks. in

Change of Fifty Years.

The tardy justice done to women in
the passing of the women's property act
in England and America was the direct
outgrowth of the wages system. The
fact that woman had no right in her
earnings, inherited property, or even in
her personal belongings, until recent
years, took away all stimulus to active
money making effort. Driven to it by
the failure of husband or father to pro-
vide for her wants, she could not hold
any possession from the grasp of the
selfish, cruel, tyrannical or degraded
male relative who possessed legal power
over her. The change in these serflike
conditions has all occurred within the
past fifty years, and it is marvellous -

The SCORPIONS Wonderful Ear.

1 have studied the habits of the scor-
pion for many years, and have often
noticed how very sensitive scorpions are
to the most delicate sound, musical
or otherwise. Under the thorax the
scorpion has two comblike appendages,
which are the antenne pectinat@). It is
pretty well settled by Psychologists and
entomologists that in insects the an
tenne represent the organs of hearing.
These delicate structures are easily
affected by the vibrations of sound, and
there can be no doubt whatever that
they are also affected by sounds quite
inaudible to the human ear.
The slightest vibration of the at
mosphere, from any cause whatever, at
once puts in motion the delicate struct-
ures which compose the atenn@, to
which organs insects owe the power of
protecting themselves against danger.

What MAY Be Read from Nails.

A person of broad finger nails is of
gentle nature, timid and bashful. Those
whose nails grow into the flesh at the
points or sides are given to luxury. A
white mark on the nail bespeaks misfor-
tune. Persons with very pale nails are
subject to much in6rmity of the flesh
and persecution by neighbors and friends.
People with narrow nails are ambitious
and quarrelsome. Lovers of knowledge
and liberal sentiment have round nails
Indolent people have generally feshy
nails. Small nails indicate ittleness of
mind, obstinacy and conceit. Melan-
choly persons are distinguished by their
pale or lead colored nails and choleric,
martial men, delighting in war, have red
and spotted nails.-Worcester Light.
