A Kind Voice.

There is no power of love so hard to
get and keep as kind voice. A kind
hand is dead and dumb. 1t may be
rough in flesh and blood, yet do the
work of touch. But there is no one
thing which love so much needs as a
sweet voice, to tell what it means and
feels; and it is hard to get and keep
in the right tone. One must start in
youth, and be on the watch night and
day, at work and at play, to get and
keep voice which shall speak at all
times the thoughts Of kind heart.
1t is often in youth that one gets a
voice or tone which is sharp, and it
sticks to him through life, and it stirs
up i'll will; and falls like q drop of gall
upon the sweet joys of home. Watch
the voice day by day as pearl OF
great price, for it will be worth more
to you in the days to come than the
best pearl hid in the sea. A kind
voice is to the heart what light is to
the eye. It is light which sings as
well as shines. .--Elihu Burritt.

The Cigarette,

Woman lives longer than man, goes
insane less numerously, commits sui
eide one-third as often, makes one
tenth the demand on the public purse
for support in jails, prisons and aims
houses, and in every regard, manlfests
potentiality above that of man.
This is an observed fact in the gen.
Grafton now passing. and it will be yet
more so in the generation now coming
on. The physical and mental fiber of
the young men is weakening. Con-
tributory to this is the dangerous hab-
it, and the growing one, of cigarette
smoking. The hour is come for Sc
rious consideration of this evil. Par
ents should be appraised of the danger
awaiting their boys. School boards
should instruct their teachers for a
vigorous crusade. Demands should
be made on Legislative bodies to enact
laws to stay the wipe-spread break
down now going on.

The Criminals Of the Future.

Pretty nearly all the criminals of the
future are in our public schools to-day,
and we are educating them-the men
who will throw our railroad trains Oft
the track: put dynamite under our
churches; commit outrages and
murder; perhaps burn half city
some windy night.
They are in our public schools to-day
and we are educating them!
The churches dc not reach them.
1t is said that all the churches in New
York City, with every seat filled, will
seat only about $50, while the popula-
tion is about l 100000.
The Sunday schools do not reach
them. 1 have seen; recently, in the
Sunday School World, that of sixteen
millions of children in this country, of
age, only about seven attended the
Sunday schools. The other nine mill
ions of children in this country, of
school age, only about seven attended
the Sunday schools. The other nine
millions never go. Many of them
have no parents, or worse than none.
They have little or no thought of God
or Immortality.
luey Cuu UC IedCllSu III Jul puoiIS
schools and neither they nor their
parents can be reached anywhere
else.
l believe it isinfinitely more impor-
tant to the future of this nation that
they be taught kindness and mercy
than grammar or arithmetic, and am
sure there is no way under heaven in
which you can better teach them kind
ness and mercy than by teaching to Go
kind acts and say kind words a hun
dred times day to the lower Great
ures by whom they are constantly sur.
rounded.
Every such teaching in our public
schools is not for the protection of ami
mails alone, but for the protection of
property and life; nay more, it is lay
ing, in the hearts of these neglected
children, preparing to become crimi-
nails, a foundation of mercy and hu-
manity on which every church can
build.

It is hard to believe the sin we do
is our own. One lays the blame on
circumstances another, on those who
tempted third, on Adam, Satan,
or his owl nature, as if it were not
himself. Conscience, when it is
healthy, ever speaks thus: MY
trausgression. II was not the guilt
of them that tempted you; they have
theirs, but each, as Il separated agent,
his own degree of guilt. Yours is
YOUR own---the violation of your own,
and not another's sense of duty solita-
nv, awful, unshared, adherlng to you
alone of all the spirits of the universe.
Perilous to refer the evil in us to any
source out of and beyond ourselves.
In this way penitence bee 5mes I'M
possible, fictitious.---F. w. Robertson.

THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION.
The Programme of the Dedicatory Ger
emonies of the Columbian Fair
CompIeted-Ete.

A factory at Lynn has asked for space
at the Worlds Fair to show pneumatic
dynamite guns and projectilea.
Colonel Elliott f. Shepherd Of New
York has purchased 10000 of the Worlds
Fair souvenir coins, paying $4,000 for
them.
New York will exhibit at the Worlds
Fair sections OF all the trees which are
indigenous to the State. OF these there
are forty three species and eighty-five
varieties, number which is not ex-
celled, it is claimed, by any State in the
Union.
t has been decided to make Tacoma
exhibition at the Worlds Fair to con-
sist principally of drawing and the con-
ventionalizing of forms and clay model
ing. The High school will contribute
most OF the drawings and lower grades
models in clay. Complete plans for the
exhibition will be arranged.
The programme of the dedicatory GER
emonies of the Worlds Fair has been
completed as follows; October 10, re-
ception to the President of the United
States, Cabinet and other guests at the
Auditorium goth, grand Procession of
Centuries " at the grounds. Following
this will be speeches, military maneu-
vers, etc.
A Madrid dispatch says: The caravels
Nina and Pinta, which have been build
ing some time at Barcelona for the Co
lumbus celebration, have been launched,
and will be completed shortly, as only
the masts and few Of the fittings are
now lacking. The Nina is 81 feet long
over deck; the Pinta is ~ feet long over
deck and 25 feet wide.
One of the best suggestions yet made
for designs for the Worlds Fair souvenir
coins is that OF Ferd Peck OF Milwaukee,
Wis, that one side of the coin should
represent North and South America,
with ship between them heading tor
ward the shore. This would mean some
thing, and it is Of very little matter
whether it Is beautiful or not, although
certain designers seem to consider the
latter qualification q sine qua non. A
coin is never q thing OF beauty, although
| it may bea joy forever, and in the case of
the souvenir coins the designs should at
least hint ct the man and the deed they
4 are intended to commemorate.
