WEAKNESS MADE STRENGTH.
The Light in Which We Should Consider
the Limitations of Our Lives.


There is, for many people, a certain
exhilaration in fighting against exter-
nal obstacles. For healthy nature,
struggle, however arduous and pain.
full, has always an element of inspira-
ton, and the man who is dealing with
a difficult external problem has the sat
isfaction of seeing, from day to day or
from year to year, the evidence of his
growing mastery of his material. This
element of inspiration disappears, how
ever, when one comes to deal with
ones own limitations; those invisible
boundaries which character or inherit
ance or Providence has set to individual
activity and influence. Every thought
full man or woman recognizes
these limits, which it seems at times
impossible to pass beyond; there
are moments in the life of every such
man and woman when a Chinese wall
seems to be built about them. of such
adamantine structure that no door can
be opened through it. That which
gives life its interest is the presence of
more or less distinctly discerned ideals
of character and achievement, and that
which brings with the recognition of
limitations the profound sense of dis
enlargement, and, at times, of despair,
is the feeling that these ideals are i'm
possible of realization. Many a man
successfully, or at least courageously,
sets himself against all the odds which
external fortune could array against
him, whose heart fails when he sees
the limitation of his own ability. The
eager desire to pass beyond the furth-
est point of power we have
yet reached, the intense long
ing to work out of ourselves
into personality richer and more COM
prehensive, the passionate desire to de-
tach ourselves from faults which we
recognize, the recurring weaknesses
which humiliate us, and the conscious
ness,of limited faculty or giftconstantly
borne in upon us, bring with them, at
times, a sense of intense discourage
ment. There are moments when 1t
seems as if it were not worth while to
go as far as we are able, because we are
not able to go as far as we would. But
there is great fallacy in this view OF
ourselves. The limitations which we
discover in our own characters and our
own ability are not like the mountains
which inclose the valleys, and which,
being immovable, mark their lasting
boundaries; they are constantly
although often unconsciousfy, pushed
back by the steady expansion of our
natures. For limitation yields in large
measure to the power of growth. The
hating speech often becomes the spur
Of a noble oratory. When limitations
are recognized and accepted as part OF
the discipline of life, they become
sources of strength and grace to us. II
| is the sublime truth about life that
there is absolutely nothing in it which
rightly used, may not contribute to q
mans growth; and many human soul
recognizing that It's limitations are
divinely ordained, has drawn from tina,
recognition a strength of patience, {
sweetness of temper, and a beauty o.
spirit which have, after a time, dis
solved the limitations themselves il

FOR GIRLS AND BOYS.
WHY MOTHER is PROUD.

Look in his face, look in his eyes,
Roguish and blue and terribly wise
Roguish and blue and quick to see
When mother comes in as tired as can be;
Quickest to find her incest old chair,
Quickest TO get TO the top Of the stair,
Quickest TO see that kiss on the cheek
Would help her far more than to chatter, to
speak
Look in his face and guess II you can
Why mother is proud OF her little man.
The mother Is proud-I will tell you this:
You can see it yourself in her tender kiss.
But why; Well, OF all her dears
There is scarcely one who ever hears
The moment she speaks, and jumps to see
What her want or wish may he,
Scarcely one. They all forget
Or are not in the notion to go quite yet,
But this she knows, II her boy Is near,
There is somebody certain to want TO hear.
Mother is proud, md she holds him fast,
And kisses him first and kisses him last
And he holds her hand and looks In her face.
And hunts for her spool, which Is out OF It's
place,
And proves that he loves her whenever he can
That is why she is proud OF her little man.

So, with our dispositions like plants,

me that her father, Thomas Chalmers,

and an owl got into fierce battle; the
eagle, unused to the night, was no

rose, and with it rose the eagle; and
the owls and the night-hawks and the
bats came second time to the combat

A GODLY MAN.
Canon Farrar's Conception of an Ideal
Character.

Character.
If were asked to name the best man
| ever knew, said Canon Farrar in a re-
cent discourse, | should not take into
account whether he belonged to this or
that sect, or this or that church.
should not dream of inquiring whether
he adopted this posture, or made that
csnufiexion, or pronounced the party
word "shibboleth" or ''sillibeth;" but |
should ask this onl - HAS he heart
of sympathy, or only one crowded with
small envies, and sour and cold and
rutfied with small offenses? Is he man
who will put himself out for the sake
of others? Is he humble or domineer-
ing? Is he generous or niggardly? Is
he unselfish, or can he never get out
side the petty circle of himself? Can
you trust his word, or must you dis
count it, feeling sure that to your
enemy he will say something quite diff
ferent? Is he honest, or will he stoop
to professional tricks? In a word, does
he keep the Commandments? Does he
walk as Christ walked? If he does not,
Of what use is his orthodoxy or his
Wanted religion? II he does, be he a
Quaker like William Penn, or a Roman
ist like Vincent de Paul, or Pagan like
Marcus Aurelius, let us grapple him to
our soul with hooks of steel. If he is all
this, humble, generous, kind, loving,
trustworthy, then, aristocrat or demo
crat, Puritan or ritualist, what matters
it? That man is keeping Gods COM
mandments, that man is walking as
Christ walked. Churches may rail at
him. but the souls of the righteous are
in the hands of the Lord. Christ shall
say to him: We'll done, good and
faithful servant" His hope shall be
full of Immortality" Those who af

The Disadvantages.

So much is said and written OF the
glorious progress of women, the victor
les gained, the privileges and preroga.
tives acquired, that it is forgotten some
times under what disadvantages womer
still labor. In the higher institution
of learning in this country and abroad
women by no means enjoy equal priv
ileges with men. The facilities for
medical study are still far from equal
or adequate. Particularly in expert
mental study and practice in the hos
pitfalls women have few and unsatisfac-
tory opportunities. Law schools are
rarely open to them, and in many states
women can not be admitted to the bar.
Only two of the orthodox denomina-
tions allow women to preach with the
sanction of the church, and the great
body of Methodists refuse to the women
of their denomination voice in their
councils. Above all, in nearly all pro-
fessions and callings, women receive
smaller salaries and inspire less conf
dence in their ability than the men in
the same lines of work.-N. Y. Sun.

when he threw several pebbles at another mem
Der Of the gang named Thomas Brown.
Brown was in q position which rendered it
impossible to see the man who was making .
target of him and finally he asked: "What--
Is throwing at me?'
The epithet angered Barton, who was standing
in box car at the time, and he left the car.
Going over to Brown he asked the latter il he
meant what he had said. and being told that he
did Barton took his pick from the handle and
usedthe handle on Browns head. One blow was
all that was necessary to lay low his victim. and
after he had inflicted the blow he was the first
nd one Of the most earnest workers in an es-
fort to restore the victim to consciousness. In
this attempt the men failed, and finally Police
man Kenny was summoned and took charge Of
both the injured man and Barton.
When the city was reached the injured man
was taken to the hospital and the prisoner
locked up at the fifth precinct station The
injury to Browns head was such that recovery
was impossible and this morning he died. The
deceased was about thirty-dve years old and
leaves q wife and four children. Barton is not
