Where Authorities Differed.

The reading class was standing in a
stiff row upon the floor of an Indiana
school-house, and bright little fellow
was drawing paragraph about Ro-
man massacre.
The president of the school board
was present on his regular tour of in
spection, and he pompously requested
that the boy Tread that verse again"
The verse" was read again.
"Ahl h'ml" said the great man, in a
loud voice. "Why do you pronounce
that word massa kerr"
The boy was silent.
cit should be pronounced massa-
kre," continued the great man, with
patronizing smile.
The boy remained quiet, but the
teacher finally spoke:
pardon me, sir" she said, but
the fault is mine if the word was mis-
pronounced. l have taught the class
to pronounce it massa-ker.'"
" But why?" insisted the great man,
as look of surprise was followed by a
look of pain upon his benign features.
81 believe Webster favors that pro-
nunciation,' said the teacher NEE xiv.
Impossible" said the great man.
The dictionary was brought, and the
president of the school board turned
over its leaves until he found the word.
There was breathless silence as he
looked up.
am astonished, madam" he said,
at last, "that Daniel Webster should
have made such mistake as that. p

Christian EndeavOrers i'm the Navy.

Through the earnest labors of Mr.. j.
M. Wood, the missionary in the Brook.
lyn navy yard of the American Sea.
mems Friend Society, the first floating
society in the United States navy has
been organized. Meetings are held
every Thursday evening, and the so.
ciety has united with the third district
of the Brooklyn union. "At the Mont.
real convention, when the United
States navy is called, the response will
come from Christian sailors clad in the
natty naval uniform of Uncle SAM"
writes Mr.. Wood, who has been saved
himself from life of drunkenness and
misery by means of the jerry McCauley
mission on Water street, in New York
NJ. Wood has himself been a seaman,
serving in the navy for years and finally
discharged for chronic alcoholism, and
his work is being especially blessed
among his former shipmates and COM
panions.

Force of Example.

How often one family will fall into
the WAYS and habits of another! AS,
for instance, Mrs. Blossom sits pairing
crab-anples, halves and cores them,
when Mrs. Fepton chances to make her
a call. On noticing her work, Mrs.
Fenton saws:
"Why, Mrs. Blossom, do you do all
your apples like that for preservng?"

Of sugar to one of fruit. How do you

taste just as good, but yours look nicer

believe | will try it some time"
81 believe l will try your way now if
you will tell how" said Mrs. Blossom.
{" pick out the blow and wash the
apples, then cook them in a syrup,
using only one.half pound of sugar to a
pound of the fruit, putting in few at
a time and taking them out when
cooked through"
So Mrs. Blossom cooked her apples
Mrs. Fenton's way, and, when she
brought them to the table, her husband
wanted to know why she had cooked
the apples whole. She told him it was
to save time and labor, and she believed
they were just as good.
"They are just as good, certainly,
and am willing to pronounce them
better if it saves you any labor" said
Mr.. Blossom.
The next day Mrs. Fenton pares,
halves and cores some apples in the
same way she had seen Mrs. Blossom
doing, and cooks them for supper. A
Mr.. Fenton trys them he asks, What
have YOU got here, peaches?"
No, tits crab apples prepared the
way Ms, Blossom does hers"
Well, that looks more sensible
Mrs. Blossom knows something"
8" guess it is u good way, but it is
quite a chore to do them so, and il
takes considerable time"
81 don't care anything about thai
part if they are only eatable."
So Mrs. Fenton cooks her crab-apple'
Mrs. Blossoms way, and teaches Others
to do the same, and Mrs. Blossom vict
versa.

What Influence Is.
BY MRS. TEA.

Influence is the power we exert over
others. Either consciously or uncon-
sciously, either for good or bad, we are
continually radiating this power. Our
thoughts, words, and acts, all have an
influence on those around US; and this
influence once born never dies, but
lives on increasing in strength and
power till it vibrates in eternity.
How often, as we read truly good
book or listen to soul stirring sermon
have we said: 81 wish every one might
read that book or all the world listen to
that sermon" Books are only power
full when read; sermons only influen-
tial when listened to. But our lives
are continually before mems eyes.
Therefore we may be more than books
or sermons. How many seem TO for.
get or ignore this fact. How often we
find ourselves signing for broader fields
and grander opportunities.
Let US remember that our lives,
though quiet and uneventful, cannot
be lived without their Influence being
felt. Lock at your own life, and the
lives of those around you. One little
act may exert lasting influence over
others. A kind word, friendly grasp
of the hand, or thought, may find
echo in another's heart. Let this in
fuence be only for good. At some flu
ture day we may stand face to face with it.
How much more pleasing it will be
TO know we have done some one good,
that we have helped him or her to some
worthy act or accomplishment, than to
find one misled or ruined by our mis-.
guidance or thoughtlessness. This is
truly most serious and solemn thought
for every individual. What is done is
done, and will blend itself with the
boundless, everlasting, everworking
universe, and will work there, for good
or bad, openly or secretly, through all
time. Nothing is lost; as in the Ian
guage of the poet:
The look of sympathy, the gentle word
Spoken so low that only angels heard;
The secret art of pure self sacrifice,
Unseen by men but marked by angels eyes;
These are not lost
The silent tears that fall at dead Of night
Over sOiled robes that once were pure and white
The prayers that rise, like incense from the soul
Longing for Christ to make l. clean and whole,
These are not lost.
The kindly plans devised for others good,
So seldom guessed, so little understoOd;
The quiet steadfast love that strove to win
Some wanderer from the ways of sin,
These are not lost.
Not lost, Lord for, in thy city bright.
Our ewes shall see the past by clearer light;
And things long hidden from gaze below
Thou wilt reveal and we shall surely know
They were not lost.

Needles in the Hands of Boys.

The boys, as well as their sisters,
should be taught ordinary skill with the
needle, at least such as may enable
them to make necessary repairs, like
the sewing on of buttons and the
checking of rent or rip while the
" stitch in time" is still competent to
save from further dilapidation or COM
plete ruin. In fact, there are many
other little things about the house
which any bright boy would be the
more independent and the better salts.

he were taught to do; not alone that he
might save weary mother from many
little tasks, but that he might be trained
to a sense of independence, even in re-
gard to duties of this nature Good

said: "a penny for your thoughtsl"
ooh, l have been thinking of numer-
GUS things, among them that 1t is al.
most year since we were married, and
what happy year it has BEEN" She
said she had also been thinking how
much she would like TO make some
thing to give to her husband on Christ
mas. Mr.. Noble had been in a half
hour before, and heard her say, How
wish knew how TO make few dol
lars. l do not like to ask Harry to give
me any, as / know he cannot afford
very much for luxuries." 1t was habit
she sometimes had of thinking out loud
when alone. She finally thought of a
nice book she had at home, that she
had never brought to her new home.
She decided to get that and work
pretty book-mark and put in it. At the
end of the year her husband asked her
if she would not like to have little
business of her own to attend to. lie
said he would like to have her do the
purchasing for the house. Here is
the book in which l have kept an ac-
count of everything that l have pur-
chased for the house the past year. l
would advise you to keep book and
at the end of the year we can compare
and see which has the better record"
He gave her at the beginning of every
month as much as it had cost the year
before. She soon saw lots of little ways
that she could save few cents and still
live just as well as they had before. 1t
was different when she was buying her
self from what it was to send for the
things. AT the end of six months she
told her husband that he need not give
her any money, as she had enough saved
for the next month. He told her that
he was not any surprised, as he thought
she would make the money go further
than he did, and that that was his OBJ
ject in having her do it, as he thought
in that way she could perhaps have
more spending money than she did the
year before. When Christmas came
again she had money enough to get the
things she had wanted so much the
year before.

Origin of Two Old Sayings.

This account of the origin of two ia
mliar expressions is given by Harper's
Young People,: " Robbing Peter to pay
Paul " was first used when Westmin-
ster Abbey was called St. Peters Ca
thedral. Money being needed to settle
the accounts of ST. Paul's Cathedral, it
was taken by those in authority from
St. Peters, quite TO the dissatisfaction
of the people, who asked, Why rob
ST. Peter to pay st. Paui?" Over two
hundred years afterward the saying was
again used in regard to the same
churches at the death of the Earl of
Chatham, the city of London declaring
that so great statesman should be
buried in st, Paul's, while parliament
insisted that one so noble in every way
would be more properly placed amid
the dust of kings in Westminster
Abbey, and that not to bury him there
would be for the second time "robbing
St. Peter to pay ST. Paul" The abbey
very justly carried the day. "There's
many slip 'twiXt the cup and the lip"
is very old saying, aud was first ut
tered to the king of Samos, an island
in the Grecian Archipelago. This king,
Anc@us by name, planted vineyard
aud treated the slaves who cultivated it
so badly that one of them told him he
would never live to taste the wine made
from it. When the wine was ready,
aud cup of it poured out for the king,
he sent tor the slave who had prophe-
sled his death, and asked him what he
thought of his prophecy now. The
slave replied, "There's many a slip
'twixt the cup and the lip" and just
as he had spoken the words Anc@us re-
ceived warning that wild boar had
broken into his vineyard and was ruin
ing it.. Putting down the wine I'M
tasted he rushed out to attack the boar,
and was killed.

"Pin-MOney."

"Here is your pin-money, Maud"
said Uncle Hugh, as he handed his
niece bright silver dollar.
THANK you, uncle; l was just wish
ing for some spare change" and Maud's
eyes fairly beamed as she took the Of
fered monev.
money to spend just as 1 please, why
do you always call it 'pin-money'? Wv
Maud asked.
Well, my dear, 1 will tell you the
origin of the term 'pin- money! Pins
were introduced into England by Cath
arine, first wife of Henry VIII. They
were not, however, the well-known
small-pointed instruments such as we
use, but were made of gold, silver,
ivory, and brass, many of them weigh
ing as much as six or eight ounces.
Such pins as those were worn in the
hair and used on different parts of the
clothing to fasten folds or drapery, and
were quite ornamental. Thus, you see,
the first pins were much more useful to
ladies than gentlemen. The Spanish
manufacturers were permitted to sell
their pins only during the Christmas
holidays, and in that way gentlemen
began to give the ladies of their respec-
tive families money at Christmas time
with which TO buy pins. AT first they
were very expensive, costing as much
as we now have to pay for valuable
piece of jewelry. However, after pins
became common and cheap, gentlemen
continued the practice of giving their
wives, daughters, and sisters money to
buy pins; in that way the term pin
money originated, and it is now APP
piled to an allowance made to lady to
buy any small articles she may need or
desire"
{" l am glad you told me all about it,
uncle" said Maud; "and l thank you
very much. "-Harper's Young People.

Vitality of the Bible.

The Bible is book which has been
refuted, demolished, overthrow, and
more times than any other
book you ever heard of. Every little
while somebody starts up and upsels
this book; and it is like upsetling a solid
cube of granite. 1t is just as big one
way as the other, and, when you have
upset it, it is right side up, and when
you over urn it again it is right side up
still. Every little while somebody
blows up the Bible, but when it come S
down it always lights on its feet, and
runs faster than ever through the
world. They overthrow the Bible a
century ago, in Voltaire's time-en-
tirely demolished the whole thing. In
less than a hundred years, said Vol
taire, Christianity will have been swept
from existence, and will have passed
into history. Infdeity ran riot throus h
France, red-handed and impious. A
century has passed away. Voltaire
has "passed into history" and not very
respectable history either; but the B bic
still lives. Thomas Paine demolished
the Bible, and finished it off finally; but
after he dropped into drunkard' g
grave in 1909, the book took such leap
That since that time more than twenty
times as many Bibles have been made
and scattered through the world as ever
were before since the creation of man.

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS.
Better Whistle Than Whine.

AS was taking a walk early in De-
cember, l noticed two little boys on
their way to school. The small one
stumbled and fell, and though he was
not verv much hurt, he began TO whine
in babyish way, not regular roaring
boy-cry, as though he were half killed,
but little, cross whine. The older
boy took his hand in kind fatherly
way and said; go, never mind, Jimmy;
don't whine; its great deal better to
whistle" And he began, in the mer-
REST way, a cheerful boy-whistle.
Jimmy triod to join in the whistle. "I
can't whistle as nice as you, Charlie"
said he. my lips won't pucker up
good" GO, that is because you have
not got the whine out yet" said Char
lie. But you try minute and the
whistle will drive the whine away"

gradients at the right temperature;
COZ not suspending the operation OF
mixing until the cake is ready for the
oven; QO beating much or little, &C.
coldIng to the kind of cake, and always
in one direction; 1D whipping the
whites of eggs to coarse but moder-
ately stiff froth, rather than a fine
stiff one; 02) sitting the baking
powder and -four together two or
three times; Q3) folding in the flour
carefully, instead of taking strong cir

MISCELLANY.
Sympathy.

In sorrow once there came to me
Two friends to prefer sympathy.
One pressed warm dewy lips on mine,
And quoted from the Word Divine;
Wiped the hot tear drops from my eye
And gave my sore heart sigh for sigh;
Told me of pain he had outgrown-
Pain that was equal to my own,
And left me with tender touch
That should have comforted me much.
But my sorrow was no less
For all his loving praciousness.
The other only pressed my hand;
within his eyes the tears did stand.
He said no word, but laid rare
Bunch of sweet flowers beside my chair;
And closely held my hand the while
And cheered my sad gloom with his smile.
And ere he went he sang a song
That had known and loved for long.
And then he clasped my hand again
With the same look that shares pain.
So when he went laid my head
Down, and was glad ano comforted.
What was the difference, can you tell9
love my friends alike, and well;
love them both alike, and yet
The ones warm kiss could forget.
The others hand clasp could feel
For hours through all my being steal.
Each shared my sorrow, yet to me
One brought but love, one but sympathy.

Unseen Powers.

In sermon on the feeding of the
five thousand by our Lord minister
lately spoke of the lad who brought the
barley lOaves and the woman who made
them. Little did she think as she
pounded the grain and mixed the dough
aud tempered the heat of the oven that
her loaves were to feed the gathered
companies who sat down in orderly
ranks upon the green grass, and were
refreshed by a meal presided over by
Christ. AS little do we know where
unto one little act of ours may grow,
The obscure agents in this world are
often stronger than those who are

To a Princess.

There is splendid news from England,
And there's splendid ! ews from France;
There's news that's good from Italy,
From Russias broad expanse;
But best of all the news that's come,
The best we've ever seen,
The Princess fair of Wales has frowned
Upon the crinoine.
The dress of woman cannot be
Obstructive on the streets;
1t cannot at the theater
Cucumber all the seats.
1t cannot lose all grace and charm
Now that this future queen
Has had the splendid sense to frown
Upon the crnoline.
The dress of womans not to be
Cut like inverted tops.
Or funnel shaped. or after the
Great Pyramid Cheops
Since Alexandra fair of Wales
In majesty serene,
Has with her sweetly royal frown
Looked down on crinoline
Then here's to her of England's realm
A tiger and three cheersl
Then here's to this fair lady who
Has QUOTED our fears,
Who's stood for grace in woman's dress
Long may she wave who's been
The bulwark 'gainst this threatened wave,
OF hooplike crinolinel -Harper's Basar.
