First words are important words, in
any public address, or in any attempt
TO lead congregation in public wor-
ship. He who would attempt TO speak
or lead successfully In such b position,
needs to utter those words loud enough
to be heard by all who are listening,
or who are expected to follow. Yet
how common it is for preacher or a
speaker to begin in 30 low tone OF
voice as not to be heard by one-fifth OF
his congregation, and only to raise his
voice when he gets warmed up to the
service. One explanation of this Is,
that a man has to practice bis voice In
q low tone, 80 as to gain by degrees the
power to speak loud enough to be
heard. If this be inevitable, it might
seem wise for "a man to begin with the
multiplication-table, or with the Ten
commandments, and thus get his
voice In trim, 80 that his first words on
the main subject of the hour can be
spoken In tone that all can hear. Or
lie might wait outside the audience
room, practicing his voice until it
reaches the right pitch, and then come
directly into the pulpit ready for busi-
ness. There Is absolutely no excuse
for mans beginning in an inaudible
tone Of voice an address that he thinks
worth hearing by those who are before
him. IF the opening of his address or
prayer be not worth hearing, be has no
reason for thinking that any other
portion Of 1t will be.-S. s.. Times.

Idly Through My Window.

The morning sun touches 80 early
the topmost branches of the trees.
Morning after morning they are light
ed up by the yellow sunshine, and the
leaves move softly back and forth In
the cool breeze. Long before the COM
ing of the sun the birds have beer
waking up one by one, crisp, CHEEKY
twitter answered by ia SLEEPY chirp
which seemed half a sweet protest
that the dewy night was past. The
summer sun mounts slowly over the
house tops, and the trees are all aglory
in green and gold, and in AID out from
the leafiy GOODNESS to the morning sun-
shine fit the brown coated sparrows
gravely busy over the first meal of the
day. To the careless glance they seem
dlers, but not so. Swinging nimbly
on EXTREMIST bough they pick and pull
and pull and pause 70 study. Evil
dently the bird brain is busy. Not a
movement is without purpose. The
birdlings, not yet full-hetged, need
further training in the art of flying.
Ah! there is one of them now with
his scarcely covered body and his scant
but fresh looking tail feathers. He
sits rather helplessly on the flat bough
whittier he has adventured from the
nest, and looking somewhat scared at
the results of his rashness, so far from
the sheltering nest and out in the big,
big world, aud it is so big. Does the
mother bird see him? But many other
birds are fitting back and forth, and
in the midst of all the passing about the
youngster has been hurried from posi-
ble danger TO share with the other
birdlings the first results Of the moth
er's search for food. What chatter
ing For the whole bird world is
awake now, and the trees are as much
alive as busy city street on some i'm
portant day. The birds day is well
advanced and they scatter in many
directions bent each on his individual
purpose. Some are down in the dusty
street where the long shadows still
linger, and small company keep an
eye to business by watching closely
the gutter across the street. There
but not all are scared by the jolly milk
cart as it comes tumbling round the
corner, beast first, intent on giving US
breakfast milk warm from the cow.
Not all, for two bright-eyed fellows
barely escape the hoofs of the donkey
which animal even seems wide awake
too at this beautiful hour of the day

A Poor Little Thief.

She dosen't look like one, does she?
What do YOU think she has stolen?
O. worse than that, from whom do
YOU think she has stolen? I'll tell you
all about it.
At Susie's fathers home they have
days with twenty-four hours. all divid-
ed off each with its uuties. About
eight hours they have for sleeping; in
fact, Susie has about eleven hours for
this work. Then two for study, and
three for dressing and eating; that
leaves eight hours for play! Only
out of that time the father has planned
that every morning she shall give
about fifteen minutes to God.
Only fifteen minutes? Shouldn't
YOU think she could spare them d?
Well, this morning during that fif-
teen minutes, what do you think she
did? In the first place she found in her
pocket nice long string, and While
her father was reading the word,
"rrhou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind, and with
all thy strength" Susie was wonder
ing if she had shuttle could she not
make tatting as fast as Mary Burton
could. So she tried with a piece of
cord, tying it into knot after knot, get
ting her fingers caught, and finally
hurt little, so that her grown up
sister had to unite them. Not single
word did she hear of all that her ia
ther read from the Bible. Then they
sung a hymn.
Something in the tune, Susie her.
self could not have told what, remind,
ed her of the song the children sung at
play. So she hummed it very softly
ali the while the family were singing
their hymn of praise to Jesus for His
great love.
Then they knelt to pray. Susie put
her little body down, too, and looked
a. though she were praying, but the
rhymes she had been saying reminded
her OF what fun they had had at recess
the day before, and whom she had
chosen as the one she liked best and
she planned what they would play to-
day, and how she would manage it..
She wouldn't have Annie Wilcox in
the play at all, because she did not like
her and how she would tell dll the
other girls not to play with Annie {:
and before she was half through with
her planning she found that the pray
er was over and the family were rising
from their knees.
Not word of prayer had she heard,
not a sentence had she prayed. Now,
if she is not little thief, what name
shall we call her? And if she has not
stolen from the great God time that
rightly belonged to Him, how shall
we explain what she has done? Are
not little folks, and grown people, too,
thieves who do not keep Gods day
holy? Selected.

Why Japanese Women Look PIensan

Perhaps the secret of the sweet ex-
preston and habitual serenity of the
Japanese women can be found in their
freedom from small worries. The
fashion of dress never varying saves
the wear of mind on that subject, and
the baroness of the houses and sim
plicity of the diet makes hou>ekcep-
ing a mere bagatelle. Everything is
so exauisitely clean and easily kept so.
There is no paint, no drapery, no
crowd of little ornaments, 40 coming
into the houses with the footwear
worn in dusty streets. And the feel
ing of living in rooms that can be
turned into balconies or verandas at u
moments notice, of having walls that
slide away as freely Us do the scenes
on the stage, and let in all out-of-doors
or change the suites of rooms TO the
shape aud size that the whim of the
day or hours requires. The Japanese
are learning much from us, some
things not to their Improvement.
We might begin, with profit to our
selves, to learn of them.

Farm and Garden Notes.
Pumpkins are excellent feed.

Pumpkins are excellent feed.
Sorghum will grow on any land that
will grow corn.
Keep the summer stable clean and
free from all odors.
Good clover hay is one of the best
feeds for the dairy COW.
Currents and gooseberries are easily
propagated from cuttings.
Shallow cultivation is easier for the
horses and better for the corn.
Small quantities of oil meal are con-
sidered valuable as appetizers for the
ewes.
There is no "sure cure" for hog
cholera, but cleanliness is good pre-
ventive.
Timothy is a very valuable grass,
but in some sections it is soWn 100
exclusively.
Excess of milk cannot be more pro-
fitably disposed of than in feeding 1t
to growing pigs.
It will pay to give a little grain each
day to the cattle, even if they are on
pasture.
When selecting dairy cow look
out for y hearty eater. She must eat
if she milks well.
A good pasture for low, wet and
heavy soils is redtop, especially II
white clover is sown with it.
If fodder is going to be scarce this
winter, part Of the oats may be cut
while in the milk and cured as hay.
The Shropshires are noted for the
fine quality Of their wool and mutton,
as they have quality and growth COM
bined.
Work horses need a liberal allow
ance of grain during the working sea-
son, and a variety is far better than
any one kind.
The farmer who keeps good dairy
has q more constan tsource of income
than one engaged in any other branch
of farming.

A story is told of little girl who,

day, said to her mother that she had
learned a new song. The mother who
expressed wish to hear it was sur

These were the words her ear had
caught from the lips Of the teacher.
But the words which she had mis-
understood were:
