The real meaning Of reform is try.
ing to maks tiger behave itself.
A bad man hates the things that
can do him good.
Beware of the man whose wife is
always saying he has no faults.
There is o brotherhood of error as
close as the brotherhood of truth.
The church has aims which the
men of the world understand not.
Trust in the Lord, and do good; so
thou shalt dwell in the land and
verify thou shalt be fed.
No man will want to have anything

Blessed Is he who shall be counted

Secret prayer is the christians foun-
tain where his soul is constantly re-
fresheI. Ifit neglected the life be-
comes dry and barren. A preacher
will blackslide in revival if he neg
lects to pray in secret.
The spirit Of forgiveness and for
bearance is necessary to the christian
life. While We are in the world we
stand In need Of torgiving, aud being
forgiven; of bearing with others, and
being borne with ourselves.
Charity does not require of rs that
we should not see the faults of others,
but that we should avoid ali needles
and voluntary observance of them
and that we should not be blind to
their good qualities when We. are 50
to their bad ones.
There is great mistake in suppos-
ing that giving Is concerned only
with material benefits. These form
indeed but small part of its mission.
Whatever creates happiness, whether
by kindly greeting, or tender sym
pathy, or inspiring presence, or stimu-
lating thoughts, is as true a giver as
he who empties his purse to feed the
hungry.

Dicks Afler.thOuKlit

A certain celebrated Southern judge,
who was not believer in revealed
truth, was in the habit of twitting his
body servant on religious matters.
"Dick," he said one day, "you say
the devil besets you ; now | want to
know why he let's a sinner like me off
free" Dick could not tell why, but
the next day he went duck shooting
with his master. The first time the
Judge fired into the flock he killed two
or three and wounded as many more.
At once the hunter threw down his
gun and with sticks and stones tried
to make sure of his wounded game
but paid no attention to the dead ones
floating down stream.
"Massa," called Dick, "it jist come
to my mind why de debil troubles me
so much, sab, an'let you lone. You
like de dead duck; he dun got you
safe, sab: is de wounded duck; |
is tryin' to get ::an' he feared 1
gwine do it. If you wuz to futile a
little, sab, and mex out you gwint git
way, spec he mex big spa;s,h arter
you, same he do arter ME, sab"

judges finding the truth Dicks biog..

Helen Hunt Jackson's Child.

Babies think more than grown-up
people quite realize. Very early little
Rennie began to reason things out. As
soon as he could understand, his moi b.
er set herself to explain to him the
reason of things. She never said,
"You must do 80 and so because I or.
der it," but "because it is kind, and
brave, and unselfish." She would
sometimes add, ut would please
mamma very much if you do it," but
she never commaded.
1T has cost him q hard struggle
sometimes" she told me, mot to do
the pleasant thing which was selfish
or greedy or mean, but, never, not
once. has he disappointed me in the
end ~
This happy child, thus led, not
dragged, in the right direction, and
living, on terms of the closest intima-
cy with his mother, grew into a su-
perb, manly boy, one of the hand
soonest and dearest I have ever
known.-Susan Coolidge, in Wide
Awake.

A Swarm of Bees.-An evidently
observing apiarist states that a swarm
of bees is made up of a queen. thirty
to forty thousand worker bees, and in
spring several hundred drones. The
Ieen is not only the royal head of the
family. but the mother of all. She
lays two or three thousand eggs daily
in the spring, when building up the
colony for the approaching honey
flow. The laying season usually be-
gins about December in the South,
and the number of eggs deposited is
increased daily until the hive is over
flowing with bees, if the queen is d
good one. Just before and during the
flower blooming season the brood
chamber should be full of brood in all
states of development, and the young
bees Matching out at the rate of many
hundred daily.

On and Of the Stage.

The following telegram was publish
ed in the New York Times:
"I4oNG ISLAND CITY, March S.-The
handsome and exclusive masquerade
ball given by the Frohsinn Sinking
Society at Koch's Hall ON Saturday
night has been the means of throwing
the German-American social circles of
the city into q tumult. 1t seems that
when the dancing was at its height a
vision Of female loveliness burst upon
the assembled multitude with electri-
flying effect. The lady was masked as
to face, but she had chosen to repre-
sent a ballet dancer in scantiest posi-
BILE attire and flesh-colored tights.
Her appearance was the signal for pan
ic among the women dancers, and
caused a gasp of astonishment even
among the masculine contingent.
''True TO the character she was enact
ing, she pirouetted along the ballroom
from end to end, and returned over
the same course. BY that time even
the musicians had forgotten their roles
and were gazing in open-mouthed won
der upon the amazing spectacle. Sud
denly the lady disappeared as Inyste-
riously as she had appeared, and now
opinion is divided as to whether she
left the floor voluntarially or by reason
of feverish request by the Floor Com
mittee.n
No doubt most of these masqueraders
were theatre goers and considered the
ballet costume proper for gentlemen
and ladies to see at the theatre. If
right for a lady to see, it ought to he
right for wear. Ought on this double
standard Of decency! What is not
proper in a parlor is not proper on the
Statesman.

A Faithful Preacher.

A singular tradition which is current
in regard to st. James's Church, Bath,
illustrates the existence of the senti-
ments respecting war, which gave
birth to the Peace Society, and with it
to the modern Peace movement in Eu-
rope and America. On one memorable
morning, it was arranged that the in
cumbent, now we'll remembered as the
Rev. Richard Warner. should preach
before the volunteers in the great
French war. He did so, powerfully
expatiating on the Inconsistency of
the practice of war with Christianity,
to the surprise of the citizen soldiers
who thronged the body of the church.

The rush of the Jews toward Jeru-
salem is phenomenal. In 1SS6-lSS9,
only four years, it reached twenty
thousand. More than half the city's
present population are Jews. The
country, too, is filling up with Jews.
There is new life in old Palestine,
commerce begins to flourish, money is
invested, industries are developing,
and many eyes are turned thither in
wonder. The Rothschilds are lending
their immense wealth (nearly) 81, 900,
900. 0OO) to rebuild and restore the old
glory of the famous site of their an
cienl kings. Meanwhile Turk, Pope,
and Gar covet and intrigue for the
prize of the "holy mountain" But
Christ will win.-Ps. ii. 6.-Ex.

In small class of children the
teacher desired, by illustration, to Oh.
tain the word favorite. She said, after
several fruitless attempts, "Well, child
rem, if there was some one you loved
more than anybody else in the world,
and wished always to keep her with
you, what would you say she was
what name would you give her?" A
small boy held up his hand, and when
told to answer, responded promptly,

CHICAGO, Oct. 10. One dead man,

and carved lie in the stationhouse at
Whiting, Ind. All this bloody spec
tacle is the afterpiece of a Polish dance
which was held during the evening. y
The Poles had taken possession of the
town hall for the purpose of holding
their merrymaking. To the dance
came as %unbidden guests a gang
of Italians. A battle between the
nations broke out. Knives and
dirks were the weapons used.
The floor ran with blood. John
Polhanski, one unfortunate Pole, was
literally scalped alive. He will die from
wounds about the head and knife
thrusts in other parts of the body.
Another Pole had his jugular severed
by one sweep of an Italians blade. The

prove the best plan for turning
out work, and getting rid Of the long

temper as well as upon the physique.

A CURIOUS OMISSION.
Federal Statutes Effective In Some
States but Not In Others


WASHINGTON, Oct l9.-Sesretary
Lamont recently called the attention
of the house to a curious omission in
the laws. 1t seems that, according to
the construction given by various
United States courts in the West, there
is no law in force upon government
reservations to punish persons guilty
of offenses not specifically named in the
United States statutes or laws enacted
subsequent to the date when section
1891 went into effect, which was
previous to the admission of Colorado
as a state.
The incident which gave rise to the
effort to change the law and demon
strated the necessity therefor occurred
at Fort Logan, Colo, July 8. 1890.
Three Chinese la%undrymen were taken
out at night by a party of citizens,
headed by w E. Curran. and repeatedly
strung up with a view to to ~extorting
a confession of theft of certain articles
belonging to Mrs. Curran. Curran and
his companions were indicted for incit-
ing a riot and committing an assault,
under the provisions Of 1891. A motion
to Quash the indictment was sustained
by Judge Hallet, who said:
This section was enacted first in
1925 and again in 1855, and it refers to
the laws OF states then existing. AS
Colorado was not then a state in the
Union, none of the laws were adopted
or put in force by this act. This Sec
ton will never be operative in Colorado
to put in force the laws of the state in
respect to crimes committed on gov
eminent reservations unless ~reenacted."
Mr.. Cultivate of Ohio, from the ju-
dietary committee, has introduced a
bill to remedy this defect.

Intention of Deserving the Irish.
LONDON, Oct. 19.-The Rt. Hon.
Henry Asquith, secretary of state for
home affairs, made an important an
nouncement at Glasgow. Mr.. Asquith
rectifed the general impression formed
after the delivery of Mr.. Gladstone's
speech at Edinburgh recently, that tho
home rule question would be revived
during the coming session of parlia-
ment.
The home secretary, continuing. said
that though home rule would always
be kept in view by the government, the
next session Of the house of commons
would be devoted to a realization Of the
Newcastle programme.
This really means that the fears of
the friends of home rule have been
realized. and that the great Irish qnes-
ten will be shelved for some time to
come.

met at 10 o'clock and as soon as a
quorum was obtained, which was ID
minutes later, the discussion was re-
newed on the amendment of the jour-
