Hints and Illustrations.

Christ on trial. Next week it will be
before the secular tribunal. the world
this week it is before the spiritual leaders,
the church. Christ among his own. This
brings the subject very close home. Jesus
stands to be judged in the midst of the
church to-day. Before we go before Pr
late with this Jesus we must say what
we thing of him ourselves. OF old ''he
came to his own and his own received
him not" Is it not so in some respects
still? Is Christ welcomed in the whole
of his divine mission by those who bear
his name? The stranger stood a long
while in the vestibue waiting to be given
n seat. He was not well dressed, and
people stared at him little as they pass
ed. No one gave him greeting. At last
he turned away. "What church is this 2"
he asked of the sexton. "Christ's church,"
was the reply. 81 reckon" said the
stranger, "the masters out"
Where does Christ stand in the church
to-day, the real Christ, crowned, or on
trial? Are we saying, with Peter, "Thou
art the Christ, the Son of the living God"
or with the high priest. in critical mood,
cart thou the Christi" Which do we
know best, Christ or the world? Christ's
very silence speaks. 1t is calm and Dig
niied acknowledgment of all that is
claimed for, and in the estimation of the
Jew against him. He is king. He stands
there king. Let the silence of your
lives speak for, not against Christ Let
the living epstle of your example say,
He is my Christ, my King.

Some are enameled, some are chased,
some are inlaid, but no two are alike,

the cost is was not ascertained, but
that matters little, If at all. The cups
are really superb, and, as stated before,
are unique. Similar sets may come to
be made, but this is the first that has
been SO far.

How to Make Tea.

One teaspoonful of tea should be
used for each cup. The water for max
ing 1t should be boiling. Scald the teal
pot well, then put in the tea and pour
over it one teacup of boiling water.
Pleace where it will keep hot, but not
boil, and let it draw for about ten
minutes, then add as many cups Of
water as you wish to have tea. A
mixture of green and black tea is
preferred by most persons. Black tea
may be allowed to boil, but green tea

Secretary Hoke Smith, of the Interior

classes-gold monometallists, silver mono
metallists and bimetallists. He did. not

thought that the free and unlimited coin

or less than silver monometallism, for If.
under that system, the price of silver bull:

the presence of solder and tin, sometimes
took place, which produced the poisonous

Correct Temperature.

The proper temperature for living
room is for adults in good health 6S to
20 degrees. Invalids and aged require
more heat, sometimes as high as so de-
grees, but children should not be kept
in an atmosphere above 20 degrees.
This applies to even young infants, the
temperature given being correct for u
nursery. For sleeping room the tenn
perature should not rise above 60 de-
grees, preferably 60, except where i'll
ness or special causes require modifica-
tons of the general rule.
