No Time.

l say to my friend, "Be Christian"
That means to be full man. And he
says to me, {" have not time to be
Christian. l have not room. If my
life was not 30 full. You don't know
how hard work from morning to night.
What time is there for me to be Chris
tan? What time is there, what room is
there, for Christianity in such life as
mine?" But does it not come to seem
to us 80 strange, 80 absurd, if it was
not so melancholy, that man should say
such thing as that? 1t is as if the en-
CINE had said it had no room for the
steam. 1t is as if the tree had said it
had no room for the sap. 1t is as if the
ocean had said it had no room for the
tide. 1t is as if the man had said that
he had no room for his soul. 1t is as if
life said it had no time to live, when it
is life. 1t is not something that is
added to life. 1t is life. A man is not
living without it. And for man to
say that 81 am so full in life that have
no room for life," you see Immediately
to what absurdity it reduces Itself

Patient Labor.

The faculty OF growth is the unknown
element in every mans career, and it is
also the determining element. A quiet,
patient, unobtrusive devotion to a
clearly-defined end is an immense force
in unfolding what is best and greatest
in human soul; and the rapidity with
which reputation sometimes comes to
men and women in middle life is due
to no happy accident, to no sudden
miracle; it simply means that a long
process of arduous work has borne its
fruit at last, and that stream of power,
steadily gathering force but flowing un-
der the surface, has at last disclosed it.
self. The great prizes do not come TO
ease or to natural aptitude; they come
to the strenuous self-development. The
best fruits are not plucked from the
tree. by an Indifferent hand; they are
the reward of the hand that has known
how to subject itself to the hardest kind
of toll. Work does not and cannot take
the place of genius, but the efficiency
and the lasting power of genius de-
pend very greatly upon the steadfast-
ness and discipline which comes from
fidelity, through long course of years,
to clearly defined aim. To those who
lack this supreme gift there is given
something very like it in the immense
enrichment of the whole nature and re-
enforcement of every power which
comes from pursuing passionately and
without pause those lines of study and
expression which bear directly upon the
| desired end. The race is not to the
swift, but to the enduring. -Ihe Out

DISCOVERIES in CONSUMPTION
What Dyspepsia Has to Do with IL.
Old School and New School Metheds.


tits, to say the least, peculiar, that oil
consumptives suffer from dyspepsia. Dys-
peptics are not always consumptves, but
they are quite likely to become so, If they
don't cure their dyspepsia.
Dyspepsia is more like consumption than
any other disease known. 1t is, in fact, one
of the most fruitful causes of consumption.
The dyspepsia in consumption is as dan
gerous as the lung trouble.
There are no drugs known that will cure
the dyspepsia of consumption or enable
patients to properly digest their food. and
thus gain flesh, except Paskola, which is
Pre-Digested Food.
Starch, not fat, is the food for PEG pie who
are losing weight. Paskola, not cod liver
oil, Is the modern treatment for consump-
ton.
starch food made of grains and fruit,
pre-digested like Paskola, is the nearest APP
proach to perfect food for dyspeptics that
can be got. The starch in Paskola, being
already digested, is absorbed almost as soon
as it is swallowed Its fruit ferments,
which are the same as those in the stomach
and pancreas, act as powerful digestives of
other food The immediate nourishment
given by Paskola is very refreshing and in

Mr.. Charles M. LIE Furge, of New York
City, N. Y, says: "My wife has used sew
eral bottles of Paskola with great benefit
to herself-good appetite, general improve

boon, but everything you claim for it."

Robert Louis StevensOn's Home.

"Vailima which is Samoan for "fine
waters" is the name which the Steven
sons have given to their beautiful home
in Apia -Four miles from the beach and
600 feet above the sea level clearing
was made among the trees, and the
house, rambling two story structure,
painted dark gray and with a red roof,
was erected. Roomy and comfortable
porches encircle both stories of the
house, and from the upper, looking north
ward, can be seen the "fine waters" of
the Pacific. At the back are the green
slopes of the Apian mountains. There is
no driveway to "Vailima" from the
town, the house being accessible only to
foot passengers or to those mounted on
the sure-footed native horses.-Ladies'

When There Were No Plumbers.

Lord Fountainball, in 1874 says that
there are no plumbers in Scotland, be-
cause there is no need for them. Happy
simplicity of our ancestors! Now every
man should be his own plumber No
man should be allowed to marry till he
has passed an examination in plain and
fancy plumbing. Few know what to do
If the pipes are frozen or if the gas me-
ter is frozen. If you are practicing with
a pistol, however, and casually cut gas
pipe, we do know what to do. Exhibit
soap! Fill up the orifice with soap. This
accident is, it mast be admitted less
frequent than sudden food.--Sat,tr.

In a Haunted House.

In everyday talk Rosina Vokes was
altogether and bewitchingly the Rosina
we knew across the footlights-the same
big, honest eyes, the same drolly STAG
cato speech, the same tossing Of that
fluffy name of shining hair, and the mat
ter of her speech was quite as f1avorsome
as any lines her playwrights ever set
down for her speaking. 1t is pity she
never told across the footlights for all
the world to hear the story she once told
to favored few The Vokes family, she
said, had returned to London from a
provincial tour, and intending to remain
for the season decided to hire a house in
preference to taking lodgings, They
looked upon it as miraculous luck to find
house in an eminently agreeable neigh
borhood at phenomenally low rent
They soon found out the reason. A par
ticularly shocking murder had been
committed in the house few years be-
fore, and since the3it had stood unten-
anted, its evil reputation intensifying
with every night its dark windows
gloomed upon the else cheerful street
but it was lovely, comfortable

mind its story bit-in fact, we thought
it rather distinguished than otherwise,
and, as for spooks, we'd all played 'em
too often in Christmas pantomimes to
hold 'em in any especial awe. Besides
we never saw any-nothing, l give you
my word, more fearsome than black
beetle ever crossed our paths in that ma
hgned house. But for all that more
uncomfortable three months our happy
go lucky family never spent. The neigh
bOrs gave the house bad name and
hanged it. They took the attitude that
any one willing to live in a murder
stained house was simply an accessory
after the fact. My dears, never shall
forget the first morning | called ON the
local butcher with plea for chops.
Send them TO 343 - street, piped /

pale. He edged behind his block. He
glowered at me over it, Three forty
three, you said NUM- he gasped. Man
alive, yesp said l. We live there, and
we're not ghosts, or we shouldn't need
chopsp

Sensitiveness.

Time was, shrank from what was right
From fear Of what was wrong
would not brave the sacred hght'
Because the foe was strong.
But now I cast that finer sense
And sorer shame aside,
Such dread Of sin was Incidence,
Such aim at heaven was pride.
So, when my Savior calls, rise
And calmly do my best;
Leaving TO him, with silent eyes
OF hope and fear, the rest,

Men count my haltings DER,

 Two signal triumphs have been achieved by Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder First it received Highest Award and Diploma at the Worlds Columbian Exposition of 1893. Next it secured Highest Award and Gold Medal at the California hidwinter Fair of 1894. At both Fairs it sur passed all competitors in every respect. The award, in each instance, was for strongest leayening power, perfect purity and general excellence. It was sustained by the unanimous vote of the judges.
 The victory at Chicago establishes the supremacy of Dr. Prices as ''The Foremost Baking Powder in the World The triumph at San Fran cisco confirms and emphasizes it.
