AS oul State campaign will soon open, IL is
getting time for the voters to begin 70 look
around little and take into consideration
the men they will support In the coming elec-
tion.
AS yet suppose there are no declared can
didates proposing to fill the various offices
but in the near future they will be forthcom-
ing. 1t is all important that we should send
our best men to represent us in our next Leg
islature. We want live, energetic, progressive
men-men that are In full sympathy with the
Reform movement. / am satisfied we have
Just such a one In the Hon. I. II. McCalla for
the State Senate. He Is an outspoR en-, pro-

1t is said that $500, 900 copies of
Geo. w. Peck's bad boy" has been
sold. It will be fortunate If the in
fluence Of Peck bad Boy" has not
made about 5000, ,OOG bad boys. What
Canada thistIes are to agriculture, this
class Of literature is to moral improve
ment. This "Bad Boy" has been dra-
matized and is attracting large crowds.
Last spring this play was exhibited In
Cleveland. I went around to the
Cleveland Theater, on st. Clair
street, on Saturday afternoon to see
who went to see and hear "Peck's Bad
Boy.r The crowd was 30 large that it
required two policeman to keep the
people in line as they passed the box to
buy tickets. I said to one of the
"This must be wonderful
bad boy to bring 30 many people out
to see him." He replied, ut has
been this way every day during the
week." There were at least 5000 peo-
pie there and of this number not less
than 1900 were boys. Without a
doubt the greater number of these will
be initiating the wicked pranks of
"Peck's Bad Boy" during the remain
der of their boy life and it will be the
first step on the way to ruin for many
of them.

Silent Voices.

We are often enraptured by the elo
uuence of speech, and thrilled bv the
bower of music. We mirgle in the
throng and commotIon of human life.
But there are sweeter joys and higher
tongue more potent than the jargon of
human voices.
Go into the sick room, where resign
ed and serene the Christian lies await
ing the summons to come up home
the eve, the expressive silence tell all
eloquent story where no word is utter
ed.
We saw frail boy who had never
walked a step, whom the people pitled
and said, "poor fellow" But he was
always cheerful and never complained
at his lot, while others, who said he
had a hard life wheeling about the
room, worried and fretted over many
things. And so his sweet and gentle
life was an eloquent speech which no
words can utter.
Go, then, to the graves, where loved
ones sleep. Some of them have long
been here. The leaning stones and
touches Of time tell the story. But
how we recall their unselfishness, their
devotion. In the silence they are
talking to US, though 10 words fall on
our ears. How ambition and passion
are rebuked as We stand by the graves
of our dear dead, where dried leaves
are rustlng, to remind US of our short
stay, and where their silent voices, low
ing, pathetic, tender, are calling us
away to the better and eternal life.

"LOye as Brethren-Be Courteous"

We occasionally meet with persons
really good people, too, they are
who seem to forget that courtesy Is a
Christian grace. st. Paul, in writing
to Timothy the young preacher, told
him that the servant Of the Lord
must be gentle to all :" that is, he must
be q gentleman. Could anyone con-
ceive of the Lord Jesus, our perfect
example in all relations of life, being
other than thoughtful of the feelings
and the comfort of others, even in the
smallest matters? If we are to show
forth His praises or virtues, we must
see that we abound in this grace also.
1t is grace which can be cultivated,
and ought to be. There is fine de-
scription of Christian,courtesy given by
st. Paul in the thirteenth chapter of
first Corinthians. Its basis is the
sweet grace of charity which suffereth
long and is kind, and doth not behave
itself unseemly. Manners spring from
the heart. True good breeding is not
merely the conventional exterIals of
polite speech OF behavior !; one may
not know all the rules of society, and
yet be a perfect gentleman or a true
gentlewoman. Pleasant manners are
great help to personal usefulness, and
for this reason alone Christian should
heed the injunction to "be courteous.
1t is the true spirit of Jesus. st. Paul
says: II beseech you by the gentle
ness of Christ" If we live with Je-
sus, we shall learn from Him to be gen.
tie and kind in speech and behavior.
1t is an Inconsistency for Christian to
he anything else than true gentle
man or real lady.

The Sewing Machine Needle.

Elias Howe almost beggard himself
before he discovered where the eye of
the needle of the sewing machine
should be located. It is probable that
there are very few persons who know
how it came about. His original idea
was to follow the model of the Ordi-
nary needle, and have the eye at the
heel. 1t never occurred to him that it
should be placed near the point, and
he might have failed altogether if he
had not dreamed he was building a
sewing machine for savage king in a
strange country. Just as in his actual
waking experience, he was perplexed
about the needles eye. He thought
the king gave him twenty-four hours
to complete the machine and make it
sew. If not finished in that time,
death was to be the punishment.
Howe worked and worked, and puZ-
zled and puzzled, and finally gave ii
up. Then he thought he was taken
out to he executed. He noticed that
the warriors carried spears that were
pierced near the head. Instantly
came the solution of the difficulty, and
while the inventor was begging for
time he awoke. It was O'clock In
the morning. He jumped out of bed,
ran to his workshop, and by 8 a needle
with an eye at the point had been
rudely modelled. After that it was
easy. That is the true story of an i'm.
portant incident in the invention Of
the sewing machine.

"The Youth Of Washingt tOn."

"At the very time of the congress OF
Aix-la- -Chappelle, the woods of Vir'
ginia sheltered the youthful George
Washington, who had been born by
the side of the Potomac, beneath the
roof of Wes!moreland planter, and
whose lot almost from infancy had
been that of an orphan.
No academy had welcomed him to
its shades, no college crown him with
its honors to read, to write, to cypher,
these had been his degrees in knowl-
edge. And now, at sixteen years of
age, in quest of an honest malnten.

1t is no new experiment to trust our
lives in the hands of Christ. Men nat.
urally hesitate to travel unfrequented
roads. But countless numbers have
trusted in Jesus and travelled on the
narrow way to the eternal city of God.
There is that mighty multitude gone
before, whom no man can number, OF
"all nations, and kindreds, and people.
and tongues" who have heard the call
of the Son of God, and have washed
their robes and made them white.
Are YOU afraid to follow after? There
is the glorious company of the apostles:
the army of martyrs, the saved of all
nations.

American Pineapples.

According to q recent article in the
Youths Companion, a group of five
small keys lying off the extreme
southern point of Florida is now the
principal pineapple producing district
of the world. Less than seven hun.
dred acres altogether are here devoted
to the cultivation of this fruit, but
from this area q, 100000 pine-apples
single year. The plant is propagated
from suckers or lips, and 10000 may
be planted to the acre, two thirds Of
which will bear fruit, so that if dol
lara dozen could be realized, the crop
would be a lucrative one. The most
common variety is the Scarlet or
Spanish, the one ordinarily seen in
the North, on account of its good
shipping qualities. Next in abund-
ance is the Sugarloaf, sweeter fruit,
but more delicate, and, therefore more
difficult TO handle. Egyptian Queen,
a large juicy fruit, Is harder still to
transport. and best of all is the Puerto
Rico, a fruit weighing ten pounds, but
80 mellow that it is rarely seen more
than two hundred miles from the
place where it is grown. A field Of
pineapples, raised from slips, will bear
for five years, though after the second
year the yield steadily decreases. A
field planted with suckers only yields
for two years. After this the land
seems exhaused, and its strength must
be renewed with fertilizers, and by
growing other crops, while plantations
of pineapples are made in another
field. The fruit which is allowed to
ripen in the field is altogether superior
in melting qaulity, rich flavor and
wholesomeness to the hard, sour and
indigestlble specimens which must be
picked while they are solid and green,
so that they can endure journey to
Northern cities.

It is not q want Of knowledge that
afflicts the world, but want of the
full use of what knowledge it has. No
one knows so little that he cannot
have a certain measure of skill in the
use of what he does know. But we
suffer from strange hesitation to &C.
quire that skill which is within reach
Of us. If every teacher and pupil
should set himself resolutely at first,
says, Thring, Ito do with skill what is
already known new creation of
thought.work would have begun, a
new mind would be produced into the
norld. Skill, or want of skill, are
with the worker always, in things
known or not known equally but ig-
norance is outside him, and may do
him no harm" So, too, we profess to
know Gods wisdom, power, and love /;
we claim to have faith in him, but we
do not use this knowledge, this faith,
in practice. We are unskilled he.

LOud Conversation In Fublic.

While loud tone of voice is very
we'll if the speaker is addressing a
public audience, it is in poor taste
while talking to q companion in a
street car. When man conversing
with a friend in a public place speaks
loud enough to be heard by q dozen
others, he not only informs others of
what he is talking about, but he makes
public the fact that he is lacking in
personal modesty, and is bring private
matters into offensive prominence.

er be woman. There is Il time to
speak low; it behOves us all to regard

Woman Reforming Man.-It is my
belief that man who has not the self
respect to save himself will not respect
any woman enough to be saved by
her. do not think any man should
marry until he is thirty, and if he has
not reformed at that age it is a very
unsafe experiment for any woman to
attempt to reform him. His moral
vision is very limited if he has not
discovered by that time that there Is
nothing in dissipation but degradation
and death.
