rise early in the morhing. bought an alarm
clock. For o few days it worked well. But
one morning, after bling aroused by its
alarm. he turned over and went to sleep
again. On subsequent mornings after the
clock failed to awake him. He placed it un-
der the head of his bed, in close proximity to

was failure; he slept throug h Its call with
perfect regularity. Yet, on the other hand.
many a mother wakes on the faintest voice
of her child. and many watcher on the
Slightest movement of the patient. They

Ia like manner the conscience may be dead

gard its voice, and soon 1t will become una

heed its fsintcst remonstrance, and it will
become to him a most valuable mentor.

SOME MINOR CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CHRIS
TIAN LIFE.

SOME MINOR CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CHRIS
TIAN LIFE.
There are major or principal characteris-
tics of the Christian life. One OF them is
self-sacrifce. There are also certain minor
or subordinate characteristics OF the Chris
tan life. OF them we wish to say word.
The Christian life is distinguished by what
may be called responsiveness, texibility,
openness. 1t is free from hardness; 1t is
broad. It easily adjusts itself to varying
conditions; its heart is not Of stone, but Of
flesh, The peril Of becoming hard and In
flexible beneath the pressure Of the forces of
modern life is great We are In danger OF
becoming like Niobe, as seen In the statute
at Florence; stern, sullen, hopeless and help
less, before the deadly arrows Of the Fates
But the Christian life tends to keep one from
this hardness. The heart that goes out in
throbs Of His love. The life that has its
origin in Him tends to become itself yet
deeper and broader.
The Christian life is also characterized by
selfforgetfulness. 1t eats the hard bread Of
self-sacrifice until this bread comes to taste
like the sweet tread of self-indulgence. 1t
drinks the bitter wine of self-denial till this
wine comes to taste like the sparkling wine
of selfcongratulation. 1t is free from the
law Oh us own m6InDe[S. i ue Teu mower VI
self-consciousness becomes the snow-wh!te
flower of self-forgetfulness. The self-forget-
fulness Of the Christian life Is prompted by
its perfect healthfulness. Health Is never
self-conscious. Life that Is most vital never
thinks of itself. The eye never turns it upon
itself. The strongest and the best Christian
character is self forgetful.
A third charactistic of the Christian life,
which some would call minor, but which
some would call major, is its freedom from
care. The best Christian goes through the
world as the wise traveller goes through
Europe, with light luggage. He is not cum
bered with many things. He takes no anx-
ious thought about tomorrow. He appre-
ciates himself far more than he appreciates
the things belonging to him. Indeed, the
loss of all things would net harm him, for
he has taken into himself the most precious
parts of each thing rs it came to him. he
cannot lose himself. Be cannot lose his
God. He has obeyed Christ's commands
and become little child. He is at peace.
Blessed, thrice blessed. the Christian
whose life Is responsive to all good, who is
forgetful of self and who has no anxious
thought Advance. is.

ments we have the testimony OF the
sacred historians in these words: "And Of,
blue, and purple, and scarlet they made
clothes of service to do service in the
holy place, and made holy garments for
Aaron as the Lord had commanded
Moses" "And he made the ephod OF
gold and blue and purple and scarlet and
fine linen" Thus, showing that the
ancient Israelites had an intimate kuowl-
edge of the existence Of rich colors.
The art of dyelng seems to have been
we'll understood by the people of Asia,
and it would seem that the sentiment OF
color took precedence of that OF form
with all oriental Nations.
While dyeing seems to have been an
art of great antiquity, it has always been
regarded as difficult one, and the work
of professional dyer. II attempted At
home, either with barks aud roots, or
liquid dyes, it was almost always fail
ure, and the work was accompanied with
so much labor that few women were dis
posed to undertake it. But the recent
Introducing of successful home.dge-
ing has rendered the art so easy that 1t
is now regarded as any other ordinary
work Of the household. The prepared
dyes are put up in great variety OF col
ors, which are reliable and fast. When;
desiroas of dyeinga garment the color
should be selected from the card which
is furnished with all prepared dyes. Il

coiors will only take particular shade,
II preferred garments may be colored
without ripping, but it is best for an I'M
experienced hand at tho business TO ri2
them, rendering the pressing much easier.
All goods should bs perfectly clean be-
fore they are put in the dye, and Il
stained with spots Of grease, ink, paint,
or tar they must be entirely removed.
For this purpose washing in q solution
of dessicatsd soap will be found sxcel-
lent, as it thoroughly cleans without in
turing the fabric. Soft water should be
used for dyeing.' The articles should be
wet before putting in the dye kettle.
Directions for doing the work will DO
found with each package OF dye pur-i
chased, and if carefully followed can
not fail to give satisfaction.
After the articles are dyed, take from
the kettle and wash we'll through soap
suds, which will set the color and
make the fabric soft snd clean; then
shake, pull out evenly and bang in the
shade to dry; when half dry press on the
wrong side. If the goods should bs
spotted or uneven in color re-dip in the
dye bath until an even color is obtained.

RELIGIOUS READING,

TAKE MY HAND.
A tender child Of summers three,
Seeking her little bed at night,
Paused on the dark stair timidly,
"Oh, mother! Take my hand" said she,
''And then the dark will all be light"
We older children grope our way
From dark behind to dark before,
And only when our hands we lay,
Dear Lord, in Thine, the night Is day, r..
And there is darkness neyermore." "a,
49,"
Reach downward to the sunless days
Wherein our guides are blind as we,
And faith Is small and hope delays;
Take Thou the hands of prayer we raise,
And let us feel the light of Thee!

ARKANSAS DEAF MUTE INSTITUTE

The next session of school at
the Arkansas Deaf Mute Institute,
located at Little Rock, will open
October 4th, 1898. This place has
undergone much improvement dur
ing the past summer and among
other things done large building
has been erected, enabling the
school to receive about 100 more
pupils than it could possibly take
last year. This IS a free school to
the poor and absolutely free in ev-
cry respect, to those in INDECENT
circumstances. So free is it that
there is positively no excuse, how
ever poor the father Of u deaf child
may be, for his keeping that child
at home and allowing him to grow
up in ignorance. The deaf child is
entitled to educational privileges
equal to those of his hearing broth
er and the State has generously rec
ognized this fact. The State also
knows that grown up, uneducatcd
deaf-mute is but q little better than
an idiot, a heathern; and if he is a
poverty clen mute he is q bur-
den upon his county or state. 1t
has, therefore, provided this noble
Institute of learning for this affect
ed class wherein they can be trans
formed from the dark night of ig-
noracne into the bright sunlight of
Christian intelligence.
The doors of this noble charity
are now wide open for the admis-
sion of 100 mutes never before in
school.
You who read this, if you have
no deaf-mute in your family, will
please speak to your neighbor who
has one, about it, who may not take
paper. Should you know of no
young uneducated mute in your
circle Of acquaintances, remember
what you now read and if you ever
moot one let his friends know what
he can gain here and how he can be
admitted.
1t will be the work Of bring
ing lost soul from darkness into
light. It will cause you to become
an instrument in transforming an
almost dependent.idiot into an in
dependent and selt-supporting cit
izen. Tuition free, books free.
board free and even travelling ex-
penses free to the poor and INDECENT.
