SCOLD YOURSELF,

There is one person whom it is al
ways safe to scold; and that is the
person who walks in our own shoes
Even when we have done wrong, if
we give ourselves q good castgati on
other people would De less inclined to
lay on the lash. But instead of find
ing fault with ourselves, we are too Of
ten finding fault with our neighbors
worst of all, we sometimes secretly
carry IL grudge against our heavenly
Father Paul was a model in many
things, but in nothing more than his
thorough contentment. He never
grumbled. He knew how to be abas-
ed in dungeon and how to abound
in grace; how to be full and how to
live on scanty rations. Il have learn
ed in whatsoever state | am, there
with to be content" If he lived in
our day, we can believe that he would
be royalty happy as a home mission
ary OH four hundred q year, or that
he would sing and give thanks even
when the victim of dyspepsia, or tina
he would be sweet-tempered with a
sharp sciatica; in short, would be con-
tented nywhere-unless he was
bursting with desire to preach, and
had to sit waiting for a call.
Contentmenti is true heart quiet UNI
der Gods will. 1t does not depend on a
full purse, ora brown stone house, or a
good appetite, or a prosperous lot
Its fountain is the heart. AS long as
that keeps sweet and satisfied with
God, there is not much danger of acid
on the lips, or II scowl on the brow
The real marsh, from which nearly
all the grumbling issues, is a sour, un-
sanctified heart. Have you ever
thought what detestable sin it is to
grumble? Discomfort is the rust
which furnishes the brightest profess
sion, gnaws out the very core of faith.
1t never removes one sorrow, and yet
kills hundred joys. Itdisgraces our
religion, disgusts the world, and in
suits our God.

COTLDNTHELPH,

Gen. John g. Foster was a man of
unquestioned bravery, but even he
found it easier to preach than to prac-
tice, at least on one occasion. The in
cident is narrated by the author of

At the siege of Washington, n. c.,
the enemy's missiles were as variable
as irnagina'io ion could conceive, from
old scrap iron to the most finished
projectiles of their English sympathi-
ZerS.

effects of the flying shots. Gen. Eos

noticed the guard duck for a passing

ter's own head.

singburg, New York, is the oldest
banker in the country. This vener-
able but active woman is SO years old.

back. She established and maintains
''The Deborah Powers Home for Old

LONG DISTANCE HOUSE MOVING.

A curious case of house moving was
recently witnessed in Oregon: A man
who owned a residence at Seattle,
which cost him $4,000 to erect. removed
to Olympia and did not have suf1-
cient funds to build another house.
He bought lot and concluded to re-
move the buildinghe owned at Seattle.
Every one laughed at him, but he
persisted. Rolling the house down to
the river, he loaded it upon a scow
and it was soon at Olympia, dis
tance of about sixty miles. Then he
had it rolled upon his lot and,
strange to say, not a timber was
strained nor even piece of furniture
broken, although he had not removed
the contents before starting the house
upon it's unusual journey.

AMERICAN ORCHIDS,

Many will be surprised to learn how
many orchids we have among our wild
| flowers. 1t is q rich and unexplored
field for the collector and the student,
and the search is itself delight for our
orchids love shadowy woods and quiet
meadows, and are usually found in
the neighborhood of stream or lake.
Few know what really distinguishes
an orchid from other flowers. Many
orchids grow in northern or temperate
climates, are not air-plants, and have
small, insignificant blossoms-insigni-
ficant as to color, though always quaint
and fantastic in form. A child's def
milton of an orchid-"a flower that
makes faces'-is very good, for its dis
tinctive feature is the twisted petal
or lip, which is often wildly colored
and grotesquely marked. Its length
reminds one of those who ''shoot out
the lip in derision," and easily gives
the fancy the impression of a mock
ing look. Mr.. Burridge says the lips
of some orchids "waggle about in
ludicrous fashion"
A few of our orchids are, however,
beautiful in color and of striking ap-
pearance. Best known of all is the
lady's slipper, with it's queer local
names-the whippoorwill's shoe and
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of it's
broad and clumsy shape, SO unlike g.
slender Partisan boot. Its color is
delicate rose purple, and its airy slen-
der grace, poised In attitude of flight,
is seen in deep woods or along cliffs
and water-side. The yellow 1ady's-
slipper has long wavy petals like the
unfastened ribbons of q lady's shoe.
Mrs. Dana describes it as standing
with alert, startled air, sentinel-like
on some mountain slope. The orange
orchis, with spires of clustered and
fringed blossoms, burns with vivid
color through bog and marsh, as If
afiame with August sunshine.
ANTS WEARING THE GREEN.
81 once witnessed an interesting
but peculiar spectacle in animal life,
but one which have never been able
to account for" remarked Abraham
l. Owens, of Brennan, Tex. II was
going home just at nightfall over a
sandy road when noticed directly in
front of me what appeared to be a
long line of green ribbon about one
half an inch thick. stopped to ex-
anime it, and to my establishment
found that it was a procession of ants
marching three or four abreast in very
close order, each one carrying little
piece of green leaf. The effect was a
continuous line of green without any
break. / went back to find the be-
ginning, but as it issued from the
grass at the roadside was unable to
trace it farther in that direction. I
then followed it for several rods until
it entered the grass on the other side
and was lost to sight. Whether
it was Palm Sunday or st. Patrick's
day with the ants or some political
jubilee they were celebrating has al
ways remained mystery to me-"

THE TELEPHONE.
Does the Use Of the Instrument Save Time,
or Docs 1t Waste Il?

Does the Use Of the Instrument Save Time,
or Does 1t Waste II?
There is q general doubt whether the
telephone has really ever saved any net
amount of mems time. Perhaps today
3ne may save himself half days jour-
ley by the use of the telephone, and
serhaps tomorrow some one wastes half
al hour of his time by calling him
needlessly over the instrument, and next
day somebody wastes another half hour,
and so on until the saved half day
is put over Gu to the other side of the
account. There is class of people who
are in a special way the victims of the
telephone. They, haven't one at their
elbow nor cheaply paid employee to
answer calls for them. They are within
calling distance, and no one hesitates
to call them over that distance.
Imagine yourself one of these people.
You arc actively at work in your room,
developing line of, thought that has
Just come to you and may not como
again. Some one comes in and says,
you're wanted at the telephone-Bos-
ton, Gi99." You throw down your pen
Shall you answer the call? You DOM
want to, but after reflection that per-
haps it may be something important to
somebody You get up and go long
way, and after some five minutes wait
ing for some one to get out of the tclo-
phone closet you are admitted. Hello,
Tremont-hello Tremont-hello, IRE
MONTH Toal silence of fremont You
ring again. What number please?'
snappishly from fremont Boston,
6199"-anotlior long silence. which
never has any explanation. But after
another call or two you get this answer.
"6l99's busy.
So you hang up the instrument and
go outside and wait five minutes. And
then you resume your plaintive peti.
tons to fremont to listen to you, and
perhaps after ten minutes more you get
that Parkinson just thought he'd ask
you what kind of q flower it is that
goes to seed in November and has
kind of abutton on top. he doesn't re-
member what kind of leaves it has and
never thought of noticing what kind of
place it grows III, but he knew that Of
course you'd know the moment you
heard Of it Then you tell him that you
don t know, and discuss the weather
and his family's health with him, and
give him a sad, sad goodby, and go
back to your room, and see by your
watch that Won have lost exactly half
