Comment by Rev. S. II. Doyle.
ToPIc-How to meet trouble. Acts xvi, IS Is;
IIrCor. vii, 81.
'Man is born to trouble, as the sparks
fly upward" This is the testimony Of
the wise man. 1t is also the experience
Of every son Of man. No social position,
no class of society, no amount of wealth,
no family inheritances, will exempt any
one from trouble, The poet has truth
fully said:
Into every life some rain must fall
And some days be dark and dreary.
Since trouble is so universal it is only
natural that we should seek some way
of meeting it. Since it must come to
all, what more reasonable than that all
should be interested in the query, How
may we meet trouble? He best answers
this question who finds his answer in the
word of God. .....
/. We should meet trouble by looking
on the bright side of it (Acts xvi, 2S-25).
Paul and Silas ere In serious trouble.
They have been arrested, scourged and
imprisoned. Surely this, IL trouble in
deed. But what is the effect upon theni
Not Encouragement nor despair. Their
cause Is O good one. Their God Is still
Jehovah, and instead Of fastening their
minds and eyes npon the sloorniness Of
the Philippian jail they look up through
all their trials, and the prison, instead Of
becoming the habitation Of despondency
end despair, is made the house Of God
where songs and prayers ,sxtsesr RAT
midnight Paul and silas prayed and
sang praises unto God" What lesson
70 ell who despair La troubls! Look MP
and not down In the darkest hours.
The sun may be hidden. but 1t still
shines. The ciond may be dark and
gloomy. but It still has silver lining.
There Is o bright side to all troubles.
Seek IL out and look upon It ,,s sa....sa
2. We should meet trouble by seeking
comfort in God Oh Cor. vii, SO. Again
it is Paul who Is In trouble. This time
It is mental trouble. Titus has been
sent to Corinth, but fails to return.
There Is opposition from the Jews and
fear and anxiety for the new Christians
at Corinth. But he trusts In God, and
"God that comforteth those that are
cast down comforteth u.s." Titus re-
turns and brings encouraging news, and
Pauls heart rejoices when it had been
cast down. No matter what the cause
of our trouble, no matter how serious its
character, God is able and willing to
comfort US in it. II we trust him, it
will not last always. No clouds can last
forever. Weeping may endure for the
night, but Joy cometh in the morning"
Therefore let us meet trouble by sub
lime yet simple faith and trust In God.

IoVeRcRoWoED NEW YORK. :
The Tenement Districts Compared with
Those of other Cities.


| Those of Other Cities.
A recent census report shows that
there are 81, 900 houses In New York,
occupied by number of families SO
great as to imply that there are
nearly four families $50 for every
house in the metropolis. When it is
recalled that there are thousands of
beautiful homes in New York occu-
pied each by one family only, that
miles of avenues and streets are
lined with houses each individually
owned and occupied by one family
group, it viii be realized to what ex-
tent in other parts Of the city crowd.
ing occurs, when to accommodate an
average of nearly four families to
each house the remaining houses
only are available.
Comparing the condition of New
York with Philadelphia the difference
is most marked. In Philadelphia the
average number of families to each
house is one family and one-tenth,
as against three families and over
three-quarters in New York for each
house. In New York the average
for each house is 10 people, while in
Philadelphia the average is not 8
people per house. The death rate
tells the rest In New York it is 2S
in every 1000, in Philadelphia 20 per
1000. While New York has 10 peo-
pie to each house, London has only
2, with death rate per cent lower
than New York. a.yy .f4 4sI'
q The extent Of the crowding in New
York Is made painfully apparent by
the statement Of the national census,
which shows that out of a popula-
ton Of /, 600, 600 no less number
than 1,2o0, 900 live in apartments,
fats and tenements. Still further is
this confirmed by the sanitary CEN
sus made by the police in which it
was found that there were herded in
what the board of health designates
as the tenement district" no less
than 276, 600 families. This number,
exceeding quarter of a million fam
lilies, averaging FIVE persons to each,
is SO great as to excite surprise that
such a condition can exist in the
chief city of the new world, where
conditions of civilization, as illus
trated by the character and number
of homes, ought to have their most
perfect exemplifcation. But the
facts as presented in official reports,
in the death rate and in the person
al observations of men and women
who take a deep interest in the con-
dition of human kind in the metrop-
oils, show a condition of density full
of danger, in which the indications
toward improvements are few and
far between. North American Re

Whenaseleotlng Poultry.

When choosing poultry select birds
that are plump and broad across the
breast, showing some fat in the back,
with white, fine-grained skin, smooth
legs, and toes that may easily be
broken when bent back, writes Mary
Lee White In an article on the "selec-
ton of Meat and Poultry" in the
April Ladies, Home Journal. The
absense of these signs indicates that
the fowls are old. Poultry that is dry
picked is considered the best; poultry
has been scalded before being picked
may be recognized by the skin, which
will look smooth and be tightly drawn
over the flesh. When purchasing
spring chickens to broil, select those
with yellow legs and firm white skin
those with dark legs are usually Of an
inferior quality. If, as sometimes
happens, you are offered by your
birds that have had their
feet chopped from the legs, look ask
ance at the proposal. This means
usually, though not invariably, that
the poultry while in storage have come
into temporary possession of cats or
rats, and the claws have been the
parts to be attacked.

Amethysts and several other so

Even the great amethyst that ordi-

coRReoolo's LOUVRE ANTlopE.

Noontide's whiteness OF fun sun
Illumes her sleep;
It's heat Is on her limbs, and one
White arm with sweep
OF languor falls around her head;
She cuddles on the lap Of earth;
While almost dead
Asleep, forgetful OF his s1,irth,
A dimpled Cupid at her side
Sprawls satisfied.
Conquered, weary with the light,
Her eyelids' orb,
Summers plenitude OF might
Her lips absorb.
Uplifted to the burning air
And with repletion fallen apart;
Her form is bare.
But her doeskin binds each dart
OF her woodland armory,
Laid idle by.
She is curled beyond the rim
OF oaks that slide
Their lowest branches, long and slim,
Close to her side;
Their foliage touches her with lobes
Half gay, half shsdowed, green and
brown;
Her white throat globes,
Thrown backward, and her breasts sink
down
with the supineness OF her sleep,
Leaf frfnged and deep.
Where her hand has curved to slip
Across a bough, go E....,

The cannon ball which plunged
through the head and tore out the
brain of Charles XII did not prevent
him from seiaing his sword hilt. The
idea of attack and the necessity for
defense was impressed upon his mind
by a blow which we would naturally
suppose to have been too tremendous
and instantaneous to leave the least
interval for thought. Philadelphia

Breed for size and quality horses
that are in demand in all the horse
markets of the world; heavy draft

More demands on the way potatoes
are grown than On variety to deter
mine quality. The mealiness which
comes from plenty of starch can only
be found in potatoes whose foliage is
perfect. Soggy potatoes can be grown
of any variety by neglecting the
potato bug OF by injuring the potato
foliage with over-doses of Paris green.
Currants and gooseberries are readily
propagated from cuttings, and will
make large growth when even a
small piece of root is attached. With
plenty of root we have known few
punches of currants to be ripened on
plants set out the previous fall or early
in the spring. But if the plant is to
be layered and new wood made it is
not best to leave any fruit on it.
There is no certainty of killing all
or even majority of the old potato
beetles by poisoning. They eat very
little when the time comes for the
females to lay their eggs, and the only
sure way to rid the plants of them is
to handpick and thus destroy them.
Except on the earliest planted pota-
toes the labor of Manipulating is not
