women Of Irritable Temper.

It Is like living In den Of snafllng
animals to live with person who has
this sort of temper, says Ella Wheeler
Wilcox. Many an ..Edenis is destroyed
by 1t. while the possessor prides him.
self upon being good Christian, and
doing his whole duty by bis family.
Yet, If the soup lacks little salt, or
contains q little too much pepper, Il
q meal is moment delayed, ifa CHI Id
Is noisy in it's mirth, II q draw sticks,
or door slams, or chair creaks,
each triHe call forth exhibition OF
disagreeable temper, which ruins the
comfort and peace Of the household for
en- hour. Many Q woman is addicted
to this sort OF temper, and calls 1t her
nerves., and considers herself the most
devoted wife and mother In the world.
Yet If she is obliged to delay her din-
ner for any member Of the family,
II she Is called from one task to per.
form another, II the children scatter
their playthings, or leave their school
books in the parlor, she INDUCES in
such ,petulant scolding that q gloom
settles over the whole household. She
would consider it no difficult thing to
die for that household, If Il were de-
manded of her. But to control her
irritable temper is task too great to
demand of her. And so the Eden ,is
destroyed, aud the children grow up
eager to ge' out of the home where
everything ls uncomfortable, and the
parents wonder why all their sacrifi-
ces are 80 poorly appreciated, why their
children, for whom they have soiied
and saved seem to care 80 little about
their home, and why they seemed so
anxious to seek pleasures elsewhere.

Talking with God.

At q most eventful period in the
iourneyings of the children of Israel
toward the promised Land, Moses
their leader, "talked with God !" and
in that intercourse, the details Of
which are not fully revealed 10 US, 1t Is
said that the Lord spake unto Moses
face to face, as a man speaketh unto
his friend"
Is it possible that in the ordinary
course of life each individual soul may
thus hold intercourse with Jehovah :?
Ifthis is possible, then life assumes,
indeed, a serious import. Human
reason may not affirm that this is pos
sible; human testimony may not give
q certain voice In answer to this ques-
ton. God alone can settle the ques-
ton with absolute certainty.
This question has been clearly
answered by Himself. He Announces
the great fact that He will dwell In
each soul and hold intercourse with
1t.
The greet question then is, "What
are the nditions upon which this
intercorse may I've maintained 2" The
Scriptures clearly answer this question:
We are to seek his companionship
acknowlege him as our Sovereign.

Divorce and Morality. 1T is con-
tended-and that is the great argu-
ment-that divorces encourage NOR
ality. If that be the case to-day In
the United States, which have the
loosest divorce laws, most loosely inter-
preted by the courts, of any nation In
the world-where parties can marry
and remarry at will. and exchange
partners at pleasure-there ought to be
great falling off in the birth of lille
gitimate children. AS q matter of
fact, If we compare England with her
strict divorce law, and France before
the law of 1884 with the United States,
we find that in England only 54 lille.
gitimate children are born per thou

which is certainly not very great
showing in favor of the last named

BETWEEN EARTH AND
HELL.
From the Chicago Record

From the vantage ground of "bar-
kerr for the Ferris wheel last Sun
day evening, the scene which | wit
messed was no reflection of the beauty
aud grandeur of the Columbian Ex.
position, now 80 near lis end. There
was no shade of solr0w or Of gloo IN
for murdered mayor, struck down by
assassination the night before. Mid
way, last Sunday evening, and fur into
the night, was wild scene of reveiry
aud confusion, Liquors we re flowing
freely in every "reslaurant," from the
Lapiand cafe to the Irish village.
Drunken men and boys reeled and
shouted and were scarcely noticed In
the noisy throng. Tin horns andother
discortiant instruments made 1t neces-
sary tn shout In the ears OF friend In
order to be heard.
The dances of the east, which there
have survived the dark ages. amused"
thousands of neil and women, both
young and old, a. centuries ago these
same dances entertained the licentiOus
and brutal citizens of Rome and the
Orient before morality was thought to
to be virtue.
This scene was a reflection Of the
baser elements of human nature,
which, for the sake of money. have
been permitted to hold sway under the
shadow Of all the grandeur and beauty
OF the Columbian Exposition. Such
scenes in o city marked as Chicago Is,
by wonderful wealth and progress, are
a warning to modern life, which, II
not heeded, will bring increase
of crime of every kind until every
great aud good achievement IL
nullified and disgraced bv ignorance
and wickedness, which alone the
Christian religion and q liberal educa.
ton are fitted to combat and remove.
Education and religion must be given
to the poor, If deeds of bloodshed and
fanaticism, as we'll as such desecratioD

A Society That Might be Useful.
Knoxonian In Canada Presbyterian.

But there is still room for society
for "the generation of thought" The
number of people who do their own
thinking is not quite equal to the
population of the country.
How do you account for the large
number of people who always do what
the crowd does? If the crowd laughs,
they laugh {; if the crowd weeps, they
weep; if the crowd cheers, they cheer;
when the crowd hisses, they hiss and
when the crowd curses, they curse, to
the best of their humble ability. The
explanation is easy. The people who
run with the crowd never learned to
think.
On what theory do you explain the
existence Of the trotting portion OF the
community. We mean that portion
of the population that trots to soine-
thing every evening. They begin on
Monday evening aud trot to some
kind Of 8 gathering every evening
during the week. If there is no
gathering OF any kind to trot to on
Saturday evening they take trot OH
the street. What is your theory about
human trotters? The right theory
is that they cannot think. They never
learned the art of thinking, and what
Is worse, they don't wish to learn 1t.
Many years ago, we heard all On
tario Judge of great learning and abil-
ity, sentence an unfortunate fellow for
q serious violation of the law. The
prisoner begged for mercy on account
OF his wife and children. You should
have thought Of them, said the judge,
when you were planning the commits
sion of the crime of which you are
convicted. To our boyish mind that
seemed harsh thing to say. 1t was
exactly the right thing. Any man
should think Of the consequences of
his deeds before he act. and that may
save him some very unpleasant think
ing afterwards.
Why do 30 many people seem to dis
like thinking? There may be various
reasons. Thinking of most kinds is
hard work, aud man is naturally lazy
animal. Thinking Is often serious
work, and o considerable portion OF
the Adamic family have no relish for
serious exercises. Thinking has gene.
rally to he done when one is alone, and
too many people can not bear to be
alone. Thinking implies the possession
of apparatus to think with, and some
people don't seem to have any appa-
ratus of that kind. If q man has
nothing to think with, he can scarcely
be blamed for not thinking.

and said, "How do you pronounce that

Am Explanation.

Strictly speaking, seigniorage 10 the
charge made by any national govern
ment for coming bullion on private ac-
count. Itusually takes the form of Q
certain percentage, fixed by law ald
deducted from the metal brought to the
miat:. = =
In other words, when an individual
brings to a government mint o Quanti.
ty of one of the precious metals to be
coined ON his private account, he will
receive weight of coins equal to the
weight Of pure metal brought, less the
deducted as compensation
to the government for Its services and
expenses of coinage, and
plus the weight Of the alloy.
At the present time the United
States government makes no charge
for coming gold, and does not receive
silver, copper or nickle for coinage on
private account. Therefore the term
is not strickfy applicable to
any transaction that takes place In
with Federal mints.
However as used in current discus
sions of the silver question, the term
is taken to mean the nominal profit
made by the government on its pur-
chases Of silver and the coinage of the
same. To illustrate The present
market price Of silver is almost exact
ly 20 cents an ounce, while its "coinage
valuen is precisely $l.29 an opnce; SO
that on every ounce of silver bought
and coined there is on apparent profit
of SO cents. For reasons that have
been more than once carefully explain.
ed, this profit is rather apparent than
real, seeing that the "coinage value is
rather technical than actual.
