Women In Public Life.

Herbert Welsh says: The women of today are rapidly fitting themselves to play much larger part in that domain of public and political life which is spe- cially related to moral questions than was formerly the case. Ifwisely applied. the influence of women will do much toward bringing the Ten Command nsents to practical application even ill .le realm of politics, where they are nlding out that it is needed as much as Anywhere. since neither home nor soeie- ty can be kept pure if public life is poll luted. .

THE infant industry which has prodted most by Government pro lection is that of making maple sugar The first year after the Yer mont Senators got the bounty on, less than $2, 300 went out of Uncle Sam's strong box To the producers of that article The last year the returns showed q production of over 5000, 900 pounds of the sugar and 92, GOO gallons of the syrup. If the bounty had been retained, maple forests would probably have sprung up in Nebraska adjacent to one of the big beet farms. It is easy to trace the effect of adulteration on maple sap.

st. Louis Christian;Advocate.

A popular magazine has an article
on the decline of the Senate,D in
which the point is made that the
body of the Senate is, in reputation
far below what it was between 1910
and 1850. The writer strengthens his
case by citing such names as those of
Clay, Webster, Douglas. Calhoun,
and Seward, and comparing them
with what are commonly understood
to be the great names of the present
day, those of Morrill,, Sherman, Hoar,
Morgan, Hawley and others. The
conclusion he draws is very unfavor-
able to the men of the present, who,
he says by inference, in no way ;com-
pare with the Senate giants Of q CEN
tury ago. But one poilt Is not
emphasized. Both Senators and Rep
resentatives are supposed to be the
people, and are the people now as they
were then? The conclusion Is almost
inevitable that if our representatives
in both branches of Congress have de-
terioated, the ultimate cause Is to be
found in deterioration ofthe people who
send them to Washington.

The Ark Beats All.

Speaking of ancient ships and ship
building, Prof, J. Harvey Biles said
that, though Great Britain and Amer.
lea had made such great strides in
ship building, none of their wooden
ships approach the dimensions of the
Ark, which was $50 feet long, rs feet
broad, and As feet deep. He calculated
that this was the size of this vessel
from the Bible measurments. Taking
the cubit to be Is inches This he
thought, was the correct meaurment.
The largest wooden ship afloat now
did not nearly approach the size OF
the Ark the vessel was the Shenan.
doah, and her dimensions were 29S
feet by 49 feet broad and 20 feet deep.
Even the Campania was much small
er than the Ark except in length, and
the dimensions of the Ark, had only
been exceeded in the case of the Great
Eastern. In 1856 prize was offered
for the best model of o ship made by
any one In. the United Kingdom, and
the models were on view at the Royal
Institute. The prize was awarded to q
model six times the beam to the
length and ten times the depth to the
length, these being the same proper
tions as those of the Ark-Scientific
American.

"Hand and Seal.'

In old England the Barons, as you
remember, thought it beneath them to
do even such mental work as IS re-
ouired in education, and so had ser.
wants to do both their reading and
writing. When a servant had written
q deed, the baron, in place of signing
his name, dipped the inside of bis
hand in plate of smut. and stamped
its uicture on the document-the lines
of every mans hand being as different
from every others, as his hand-wrlt-
ing would have been-and then: turn
ing his hand, lie stamped his seal ring
into the hot wax. So originated the
term, "Witness my hand and SEAL"

Watch Night-Watch Day.

Watch-Night is still observed in
some churches, mainly by the Metho.
dists and Moravians. Usually the two
or three last hours of the Old Year are
employed in appropriate religious ex-
ercises which are continued until and
little after 12 o'clock at night. The
passing away of the Old Year and the
coming in of the New Year is thus
aoatched. Such observance may be-,
and often is, time of refreshing from
the presence of the Lord.
Without detracting any thing from
the benefits of Watch-Night it may be
as we'll to observe Wdtch-Dag, when
cares and tolls, temptations and trou-
bles are to be met. Then it is that
people need to watch and also to pray,
and to do this every hour of the day
and every waking hour of the night.
Take we heed, watch and pray: for
We know not when the time is.
For the Son of man Is as man TAX
ing a far journey, who left his house,
and gave authority to his servants, and
to every man his work, and command.
ed the porter to watch.
Watch ye therefore for ye know
not when the master Of the house
cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at
the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
Lest coming suddenly he find you
sleeping.
And what say unto you say unto
all, watch.

WORKING AND WAITING.-The
Sunday School Times states it we'll !:
"Waiting is one of the forms of divine
discipline to which we find it hard to
be accustomed. The mills of God
grind slowly and we all would like
to give the grindstones an accelerating
shove. If we were allowed to do this,
however, it could no longer be said
that they grind exceeding fine.' The
Apostle says: Let US not be weary In
we'll doing, for in due season we shall
reap if we faint not.' But that due
season. seems so slow in coming! Yet
the best workers have to wait"

Wesleyan Christian Advocate.

We commend the following rule to
al people, and especially professors of
religion /: "Never borrow where there
is chance, however remote, that you
will not be able to pay. Never lend
what you are not prepared to give.
Never guarantee, by going security for
another, what you cannot without
embarrassment fulfill if the other
should fail" In this way hard feelings,
lawsuits and church troubles may be
largely avoided.
