The Home Paper.
Mother

The advantages of the local newspaper
are thus set forth by a minister who evidently
knows exactly what he is talking about
Your local paper tells you when to get to
church. to county court, and when to send
your children to school, or anywhere else you
may want to go. 1t tells you who is dead,
who is sick, who is married, who is born, and
many other things you would like to know
1t calls attention to public enterprise, advo-
Gates the best law and order in town. 1t re-
cords the marriage of your daughter, the
death of your son, the illness Of your wife
1t sets forth the advantages of your town and
lnvites immigration, and is the first to vel
come newcomers. Yet in spite of all these
benefits, some people say the home paper is
not half as good as some other paper that has
no interest in their business or success. The
home paper is too sften neglected by those
who benefit by it.-Ex.

A Difficulty Solved.

Sir Frederick Goldsmid tells Al
amusing anecdote about the construc
tion, under his superintendent, OF q
telegraph line from Bagdad, in Asia
Minor, to the Persian capital OF Te
heran.
The frontier line between Turkey
and Persia was so undefinable that d
tract OF no less than seventeen mile
Of land over which the telegraph
would have to be carried was In dis
pute, each of the two countries claim
ing the right TO its possession.
Now, the engineering stores which
our Government supplied to thi
Turkish Government differed to those
supplied to the Persian Government
The former had wooden telegraph
poles, the later iron ones. The Per.
sian Government in their jealuui
hatred OF the Turks, feared that il
wooden poles were erected across the
disputed territory, posterity would
regard them as proof that the ter
ritory was Turkish.
On the other hand, the Turks OF
lected to iron poles being used, les
in the far future they should be ad
duccd by Persia as evidence that the
land was hers
The way Sir Frederick contrived &
get out OF the difficulty did credit t.
his ingenuity and resource. He SCI

one, then another wooden, then ar

A sound and strong statement O,
what is right and why 1t is right, o.
what is wrong, and why 1t is wrong
10 a most needful foundation for any
other moral or religious training thai
may follow with the young: From
the lack OF this plain and reasonable
knowledge comes much Of the con.
fusion of mind which fails TO detect
the sophiStry with which self-inter.
est will plead against tho calls OF
honor and OF duty. People drift into
wrong-doing OF every kind far oftenei
than they deliberately plunge into 1t,
and the lack of n clear conception
and thorough comprehension Of Its
nature fron the beginning is fre.
quently the first cause. How this
want can best be supplied. as a fit
ting preparation for life's arduou:
and responsible duties, Is a matter
worthy the consideration OF every
wellwisher Of the rising generation.
Hitherto 1t has been strangely neg.
lected; but, If the conviction of It's
great Importance be once firmly i'm.
planted ia our hearts, suitable meth.
ods TO promote It will not be long IN
following. No one, whether in the
home, the school. or elsewhere, who

Losing api Forgetting.

there were two things he learned
when hc was eighteen, which were
ever afterwards OF great use to dim.

"You must not lose IT."
Il don't mean to-" said the young
man. but suppose l should kapper
to-"
But l say you must not happen TO
| shall make no provisions for such
an occurrence; you must not lose it.'
This put new train OF thought in
the young mans mind, and he found
that If he was determined 10 do any.
thing he could do ii. lie made such
4 provision against every contingencY
that he never lost anything. lie
found this equally true about forget
ting.
If "A certain matter OF impOrtanc,
was to be remembered he pinned 1,
down in his mind, fastened IL there;
and made 1t stay. He used to say:
when a man tells me he forgets Il
do something, tell him he might a
well say, i do not think enough o.
my business to take the trouble T.
think Of it again."
