Jennie's Selfishness.

Johnnie and Jennie were having a
tea party. "You can pour out the tea,
Jennie" said Johnnie, graciously.
WE'LL" said Jennie, greatly pleased.
And / will help to the CAKE" went on
Johnnie. We-ell," repeated Jennie,
more doubtfully. So Jennie poured
out the tea, and Johnnie cut up the
cake. Mamma had given them quite a
large piece. Johnnie cut the large
piece into five smaller pieces. They
were all about the same size. He
helped Jennie to one piece, and began
to eat another himself. Jennie poured
another cup of tea, and the feast went
on. Mamma in the next room heard
them talking peacefully awhile; but
presently arose discussion, and then a
prolonged wall from Johnnie. "What
is the matter?" asked mamma. "Jen-
MES greedy, and selfish, too" cried
Johnnie, between his sobs. Then he
cried again. "What is the matter?"
repeated mamma, going in to find out.
" Why" explained Johnnie, as soon as
he could speak, "We each had two
pieces of cake, and there was only one
left, and Jennie took it-she took it
all !" Mamma looked perplexed.
"That does seem rather selfish of Jen-
MEL" Yes, it was! " Johnnie wept,
"'cause l cut the cake that way SOS

Wonders of Ancient Glass Blowing.

The glass blowers of ancient Thebes are
known to have been equally as profici' t
in that particular art as is the most scien-
tiic craftsman of the same trade of the
present day, after n lapse of 40 centuT :
of so called progress" They were well
acquainted with the art of staining glass
and are known to have produced that com
modify in great profusion and perfection
Rossellini gives an illustration of piece
of stained glass known to be 4 900 years
old which displayed artistic taste of high
order, both in tint and design.
In this case the color is struck through
the vitrified structure, and he mentions de-
signs struck entirely in pieces from n half
to three-quarters of an inch thick, the color
being perfectly incorporated with the struc-
ture of the piece, and exactly the same on
both the diverse and reverse sides.
The priests of P'tah at Memphis were
adopts in the glassmaker's art, and not
only did they have factories for manufac-
turing the common crystal variety, but
they had learned the VERIFYING of the diff
ferent colors and of initiating precious
stones to perfection. Their limitations of
the amethyst and of the various other col
ored gems were so true to nature that even
now, after they have lain in the desert
sands from 1000 to 600 years, 1t takes
an expert to distinguish the genuine arti-
Giles from the spurious. 1t has been shown
that, besides being experts in glassmaking
and coloring, they also used the diamond
in cutting and engraving. In the British
museum there is a beautiful piece of stain
ed glass, with an engraved emblazonment
of the monarch Thothmes III. who lived
3, 400 years ago.-St. Louis Repubttc.

A Hint for Little Tapers.

Remember that every one-not al
most every one, but eUerQ one--is shin

every day. If you are followers of
Christ, so much the more are you,
young or old, "the light of the world"
One night man took little taper out
of drawer and lighted it, and began
to ascend a long, winding stair.
Where are you going?" said the ia
per. "Away, high up" said the man,
" higher than the top of the house
where we sleep" "And what are you
going to do there" said the little Ia
per. 81 am going to show the ships
out to sea where the harbor is" said
the man; for we stand at the en-
trance to a harbor, and some ship far
out on the stormy sea may be looking
out for our light even now" "Alas!
no ship could ever see my light" said
the little taper; sit is so very small"
" If your light is small" said the man,
"keep it burning brightly and leave
the rest TO me-" Well, when the man
got up to the top of the lighthouse-for
this was a lighthouse they were in

Her Story of a Theater.

Julian Hawthorne wrote a story printed
a long time ago in some magazine. In it
he had little girl tell little boy what a
theater, which he had never seen, was like.
And this is what she tells him:
"Oh, it's where everything is the way
it ought to be, and the people do things
that make you laugh and cry, and they
seem to live all their lives, and yet it is
over in two or three hours. And every
thing they say means something, instead
of being only How do you do?' and It's
a fine day" as real people do, and they
tell you all they feel and all they mean to
do, just as you think when you are alone.
Then, when it's over, a great curtain comes
down, and you go out, and there are peo-
pie going up and down the streets, just as
if nothing had happened and it's so COM
mon and stupid you can hardly bear it.
1t makes you wish there were no real peo-
pie alive."-NclO York Times.

ENGLISH B4PTIsT UNION

Has no Greeting for Its American Brethren.
AT the Baptist Union, held last week in
London, a protest was entered by Rev Mr..
Aked of Liverpool against sending greetings
to the United States because of the wrongs
inflicted in this country upon the negro.
This reverend gentleman declared that such
treatment reflected upon the administration
of justice in America and upon the honor
of it's people. He further said: The treat
ment of the colored people in America is
withouta parallel in the history of the world.

The First American Boys in Japan.

The first American boys who ever
visited Japan were set ashore with
great ceremony near the city of Yedo,
or Tokyo, on Thursday, the 18th of
July, 1868. They wore the uniform of
the United States navy, and every gilt
button and buckle was polished till it
shone like gold. They carried between
them large square envelope of scarlet
cloth containing two beautiful round
boxes made of gold, each box inclosed
in larger box of rosewood, with lock,
hinges, and mountings all made of pure
gold. Each of the cold boxes con-
tanned letter TO the Emperor of Japan
beautifully written on vellum, and not
folded, but bound in blue silk velvet.
To each letter the great seal of the
United States was attached with cords
of interviewer gold aud silk, with pen
dent gold tassels. The names of these
boys are not known TO the writer; but
it would not be surprising if some
young American should write to the
Young People, "My father was one OF
those boys ."-Harper'S Young People.

PEOPLE WHO CANNOT EAT.

Eating is natural necessity, It ought to
be pleasure. Yet many people look upon
it as task DO you?
as you suffer from this you will be thin and
sick. What you eat you eat because you
think you must. You don't eat enough to
properly nourish yourself. You are really
slowly starving.
The trouble behind it all is indigestion.
Your stomach doesn't want any food. IL

You must humor your stomach, or it will
break down altogether. Give it pre.digested
food: PASKOLA will help it along till it

II your stomach rebels, medicine will never
make 1t work right. PASKOLA will. But
then PASKOLA is not medicine.
Everybody knows that PASKOLA is a
pre-digested food, made of grains and fruits,
and that it is reished by the weakest
stomach. Everybody VIII. has tried it, has
experienced after meals that delicious sense
OF perfect digestion, exhilaration, added
strength and increased appetite that every

Why lie PrOspered.

A certain man was hanged, that he died.
And he left two sons, honest men.
Now one of the sons was blacksmith.
But the other became physician
And after that their father had been tax
en- from them these brothers made their
homes in other lands
And the blacksmith would have pros
pered. But it befoll that one asked him
how his father made end. And the black
smith, looking angrily upon him, answer
ed, "IIc was hung" For the blacksmith
was an honest man.
Howbeit, presently, when a horse was
missing, men gathered and hanged the
blacksmith saying, This man must take
after his father. So the blacksmith did
take after his father but whether he
caught up with him the tale telieth not.
And ut the same time, in his own CITY,
one inquired Of the physician by what
means his father died. And the physician
covered his face and wept
But while he Wcpt he considered, saying
within himself; 'If l say, lie was hang
ed, then shall L shock this man and give
him pain, and it is my Office to relieve
pain. Nevertheless must tell the truth. "
He said therefore, my father died of
heart failure " And again he wept, the
quesulOnef weeping WIN MN.
Then, this being told men said, Doubt
less since his fatherdied of heart failure,
this good physician and loving son hath
made study of kindred diseases" So they
resorted unto him.
And the physician became a specialist.
And he looked at them who came and
coughed once and sneezed twice and de
manded 500. And they gave gladly, for
the physician was an honest man.-Kat

Somewhere.

Somewhere the wind is blowing,
thought as toiled along
In the burning heat of the noontide,
And the fancy made me strong.
Yes, somewhere the wind is blowing,
Though here whore gasp and sigh,
Not breath of air is stirring,
Not cloud in the burning sky.
Somewhere the thing we long for
Exists on earth's wide bound,
Somewhere the sun is shining
when winter nips the ground.
Somewhere the flowers are springing,
Somewhere the corn is brown,
And ready unto the harvest
To feed the hungry town.
Somewhere the twilight gathers,
And weary men lay by
The burden of the daytime,
And wrapped in slumber lie.
Somewhere the day is breaking,
And gloom and darkness flee;
Though storms our bark are tossing,
There's somewhere placid sea.
And thus, I thought, It's always
In this mys erious life,
There's always gladness somewhere
In spite of its pain and strife;
And somewhere the sin and sorrow
OF earth are known no more,
Somewhere our weary spirits
Shall find a peaceful shore.
Somewhere the things that try us
Shall all have passed away,
And doubt and fear no longer
Impede the perfect day.
O brother. though the darkness
Around thy soul be cast,
The earth is rolling upward
And light shall come at last.
