the prisoner aud also the lumber pile where
IN Watts had concealed himself from Mr..
Bess. Here he foU d fraction over Sl3,

them. Young Anderson declared that
Jones bad nothing 20 do with the burglary,
and be was released. Watts was locked up
in jail. Besides the things from Bass Bros,
some mouth organs and bread tickets, that
came from PavoIeski's old stand. The
youngsters had several KEYS in their pock-

How People Sleep.

Though it is true, as the author of a
school composition once asserted, that
"Sleeping is universal practice among
all nations" it is also true that there is
great diversity in the methods of
sleeping among people of different ma
tions and different ways of life. The
things which one person needs to
make him sleep are precisely the
things which would keep another
awake all night. Even the sedative
medicines which put one person inn
mediately into heavy slumber, excite
another into q condition of nervous
restlessness.
The European or American, in order
to sleep well, requires, ordinarily, a
dOwny pillow under the head but
the japanese, stretching himself upon
a rush mat Oh the floor, puts a hard,
square block of wood under his head,
and does not sleep we'll if he does no;
have it.
The Chinese makes great account Of
his bed, which is very low indeed
scarcely rising from the f1oor-but is
often carved eXquisitely of wood {; but
it never occurs to him to make 1t any
softer than rush mats will render it.
While the people of Northern coun-
tries cannot sleep unless they have
plenty of room to stretch out their
legs, the inhabitants of the tropics often
curl themselves up like monkeys at
the lower angle of a suspending ham,
mock, and sleep soundly in that posi-
tiion.
The robust American covers himself
with pair of blankets, and throws
his window wide open to the air, even
in the winter time, and he does not
complain if he finds little drift OF
snow across the top of his bed in the
morning.
The Russian, on the contrary, likes
no sleeping place 80 we'll as the top Of
the big soapstone stove in his domlclle.
Crawling out of this blistering bed In
the morning, he likes to take plunge
in cold stream, even if he has to
break through the ice TO get into it.
The Laplander crawls, head and all,
into bag made of reindeer skin, and
sleeps warm and comfortable within
it. The East Indian, at the other end
of the world, also has q sleeping bag,
but it Is more porous than the Lap
lander's. Its purpose is to keep out
mosquitoes more than TO keep the
sleeper warm.
While the American still clings to
his feather pillow, he is steadily dis.
carding his old fashioned feather bed
in favor Of the hair or straw mattress.
The teather-bed is relegated to the
country, and many people who slept
upon it all through their childhood,
find themselves uncomfortable upon it
in their maturity.
The Germans not only sleep upon a
feather bed, but underneath one. The
feather covering used in Germany,
however, is not so thick as the one
which is used as a mattress, and the
foreigner who undertakes to sleep be-
it often finds his feet suffering from
cold while his shoulders are suffering
from heat.-Youth's companion.

Can Not Take Away.

However beautiful the rose upon the
breast Of the bride, no art has taught
Us how to make it's fragrance and love-
illness perpetual. However perfect a day
in June. it is followed by its sure De-
cember. Bright as the skies above the
head Of the laughing boy, there comes
time when the voice of the brook no
longer sings to him the old-time invi-
tation to the forest. However fair the
place, time will stain its beauty with
tears and crumble its strength with de-
cay. However mighty the empire, the
day will come when upon its broken
heaps the fox will play unscared, and
the adder, summing itself undisturbed
be the sole occupant of the royal court.
To-day the curious traveller thrusts his
sharp spade into the mounds of Assy-
rian kings, drags the funeral trophies
of Rameses to the unaccustomed light,
and thrusts his tinfiers into the sepul-
chral urns Of the Caesars. ....
But there is one thing of which even
which in the history of the race never
grows old; it Is the consciousness of
Gods redeeming love revealed In Jesus
Christ. That which was the boys
song is still the old mans staff. The
lad who joined his. infant voice with
others in the praises of Jesus in the
Sunday.school, as an old man goes
down into the valley of the shadow of
death with the same JOY upon his now
trembling lips. The world may take
away fortune, youth, fame, but it is
to rob tho haIiavipr hoart Of
that peace which comes from its recon-
ciliation with God in Christ Jesus.-N.
Y. Evangelist. .....-.

True Christmas Charity.

There is q tendency at each Christ
mas-tide for writer's to urge too strong
ly, 1 think, the beauty Of Christmas
giving, by donation or distribution
among the lowly and the very poor,
writers Edward w. Box in the Christ
mas number Of The Ladies' Home Jour-
nal. No charity can be more beauti-
full, more typical of the Christ spirit
than for those who can afford to do so
to send a glimmer oflight into the lives
of thousands in our great cities who
can only exc out bare existence. And
it speaks volumes for The genrosity OF
our wealthy classes, and the heroic
work done by our charitable organiza-
tions, that in no other nation on the
globe are those who live in poverty
and want so wall remembered on
Christmas as are the poor classes of
America. But there Is a class which Is
not reached by the donations OF the
wealthy, or by the work OF charitable
organizations. There are in this coun-
try thousands of homes into which re-
verses fortune come each year, where
death or business failure causes the
keenest heart anguish and the severest
self-denial. These homes contain
sensitive natures which shrink from
the outstretched hand of charity. Poor
and proud is the name the world has
for them. Perhaps; but let me tell you
my friend, it is not easy to receive
charity when all your life you have
dispensed it, A reversal of fortune is
the hardest thing in this world to
bear. The poor know not its tortures.
It Is the keenest kind Of poverty.
Into such homes would I direct, at
Christmas-tide, some loving kindness.
In this country where one is up to-
day and down tomorrow, there is not
one of us but who, in his or her ac-
ouaintance, knows of all instance OF re-
Versed fortunes. Let something from
YOU 90 into such a home. The born
Door will be remembered by others;
the newly made poor may be forgot

A Charitable Enterprise.

Mrs. x, lives in a crowded suburb
of the great metropolis. When the late
cold spell began it came to her ears
that a great many poor people were
buying coal at twelve and thirteen
cents a pail, thus paying at the rate of
nine dollars ton, when the rate by
the ton is only six. -
There wasn't time to organize so
ciety for their relief, 80 she organized
herself into a society and proceeded at
once to work. She hired shed for
three dollars month, hired a man to
take charge it, and laid ina supply Of
coal, on which the dealers allowed her
q small reduction. Then she sent out
word that coal could be bought at eight
cents pailful, instead of thirteen. or
course, all the poor were glad to buy
of her, and for three weeks the $50
ciety" has been in working order she
has nearly covered her expenses, and
saved many nickles for her poor pat
rons to buy bread with.

1t is better 20 strengthen ones faith
in, and love for, the Master, by work
ing for him, than by arguing Tor him.
Argument has it's place and its mis-
SIGN for Christ, but its uses are limited,
and he who is troubled with doubt
has a poor prospect if he has no other
refuge than argument. Much that
he hears in derogation of his professed
faith is, as argument, weak and FORM
less. But because it is so, recourse to
argument to destroy the fiabby anita
gonist is likely to be futile. "Weak
arguments" says Whately, "are often
thrust before my path; but, although
they are most unsubstantial, it Is not
easy to destroy them. There is not a
more difficult feat known than to cut
through a cushion with a sword" A
young man who prefers the theater to
the prayer-meeting, the society noyel
to Bible study, the club house to the
family fireside, but who is yet solicit
tous lest he may lose his hold on
Christ, has one thing better than ar
gument to stay his unstable faith and
his weakly love,-and that thing is
work. His love then will grow
through serving. Instead Of seeking
strength in argument, he will gain
strength through the better knowl-
edge that comes by better knowing
of Him whom he has believed.-S. S.

Real Kindness.

A blind and crippeled old man sat at
the edge Of the icy stone pavement
grinding out his few tunes on wheezy
hand-organ, and holding in one hand
a tin cup for pennies. The cold wind
blew through his rags, and he was in
deed a pitiful object. Yet few of the
passers-by seemed to pity him. They
were all in a hurry, and it was too cold
to stop and huut for pennies in pockets
and purses.
A sudden gust of wind blew the old
mans cap off: 1t fell by the side of
the pavement, q few feet distant. He
felt around for it with his bare, red
hands, and then with his cane hut he
could not find it, and finally began
playing again, bare-headed, with his
scanty grey locks tossed about in the
wind.
People came and went, happy, we'll
dressed men and women, in silks and
velvets and seal-skins, in warm over
coats and gloves and muffiers. But
none of them paid any attention to the
old man.
BY and by woman came out of an
alley, and old woman in rags and tat
ters, with a great bundle of boards and
sticks on her bent back. Some of the
boards were 20 long thae they dragged
on the ground behind her; and it'had
evidently taken her long time tie all
the boards and bits of lumber together
and get them on her back.
She came along, bending low under
her burr N, until she was within few
feet of the old organ-grinder. She saw
his cap lying by the pavement; she
saw him sitting bare-headed.
She stopped and united the rope that
bound the bundle to her back, and in a
moment the boards were lying on the
ground. Then she picked up the cap,
put it on the old mans head, and tied
it down with a ragged string of a
handkerchief taken from her own
neck.
"Cold, haint it?" she said.
He nodded.
"Afnt gittin' much to-day?"
He shook his head again.
She fumbled in her ragged skirts for
q moment, and finally brought forth a
copper. She dropped it into his little
cup, hoisted the great bundle on her
back, and went on her way.

What one Sees.

On the retina of Newton's eye, and
on the retina of the eye of his dog,
Diamond, the same panorama of the
heavens was inscribed; but how diff
ferent the impressions made on the two
minds back of the two retinaS!
Asa Grey. the botanist, and a plain,
unlettered tiller of the soil, would call
the same tree an oak; but how much
more Grey saw in an oak than the
farmer!
One may listen to babble of Ian
guages in Canstantinople, but, unless
he understands them, nothing but jar
gon makes an impression on him,
while the linguist will distinguish
Arabic, Turkish, Greek, French, and
Russian.
The habitual thief thinks all men
like himself; and the liar trusts no
mans word while the honest man
finds it hard to believe that all men do
no mean to be honest.
Some time ago an artist was employ
ed to reproduce the face of a poet not
less distinguished for ability in many
fields besides that of poetry than for
his devotion to the highest moral and
spiritual luedlS. ~ pilutoSlaFuio vi
the poet like that from which the artist
worked hung in the room of one of
his ardent admirers, and was con-
stant stimulus to pure an noble liv-
ing. When the ar,:et had finished his
work, one of many copies of it was
sent TO this admirer for framing. The
reproduction at first seemed perfect.
The two portraits were placed side by
side for for study; every detail of one
was reproduced in the other. But
something was wanting. The new
picture was unsatisfactory. 1t lacked
inspiration.
One day the owner Of the two pic
lures showed them to calling friend.
and he supplied unwittingly The solu..
tion. Not knowing the artist who had
made the picture, incidents in his life
were given, showing most corclusively
his inability to appreciate the incor-
suptible purity of the poet whose face
he had attempted to portray. His own
character was written in negatives on
the picture he had failed in making.
"Blessed are the pure in heart; for
they shall see God" Only they can
see Him.

Nature and Grace.

The Rev. Mark Guy Pearse in his
recent Christmas sermon in the west
London pulpit, related this incident
"When / was student our grand old
professor of theology was man for
whom we had great veneration-sim-
pie, childlike, holy-none had ever
known him to be anything else. and
that gracious and unfailing sweetness
and beauty were to us his natural dispo-
sition. TO such man it was no trouble
to be always blameless. But one day
it chanced that student came in late
to the class, and pushed bis way to his
seat. The professor stopped to ask
gently why he was late. The answer
was given somewhat tlippantly, an ex-
cuse that aggravated the ofense. In
stantly the professor, who had been
sitting, rose UP to his full height, until
the big, massive man seemed to fill the
room, stretching out a trembling and
terrible forefinger at the offender. The
great shaggy eyebrows were lifted, and
the lightnings shot from his eyes.
Like thunder rolled the words from
his lips: Leave the room, SIR We
started in amazement, almost in fright.
The culprit crouched away from his
place and left, while that majestic fig
IRE stood there all ablaze with wrath.
The door was shut. Then again the
professor sat in his chair. But the
storm was done. With trembling
voice he read the discourse, seeming
almost unable to 60 on. After the
lecture we left only to gather in groups
and discuss this wonderful thing.
Presently came message that the Of
fender was wanted and be fastened
to the irate professor, expecting an an
gry reprimand. But there sat the old
man in tears.
"'My brother he sobbed, will you
forgive me" o,o,,d
apologize said the student, over
whelmed.
Ono, no, am older. Will you for
give me? I am very, very sorry. Say
that you forgive me-
1.-THE student managed to get out a
word or two.
"'And you must tell all the students
that have apologized, will you s?
"And again there was pause for
the promise.
"Now,' said the noble old man, L
will go and ask God TO forgive me.
"Nothing in all that life, nothing in
all his words, ever did Us so much good
as that. We knew then under that
gentleness and beauty what fires burn
ed and every man of us had new faith
and new hope and a new love.
"Go home, and tell thy friends what
great things the Lord has done for
thee. The Lord 60 with you every.
one, and keep you true and loving and
brave. Amen"
