BEWARE OF TOXIC DRUGS.

Here is rule that every man and woman
should inflexibly adopt for guidance: Never
under any circumstances take opium or any
other toxic drug unless prescribed by An in
teligent physician, says William Rosser
Cobpe.
There are mothers present, and wish to
utter to them a special note OF warning. Inc
love they bear their children leads them to
exaggeration of the ailments OF the little
ones, and they are too prone to resort TO
medicine for their benefit. It Is this practice
that is responsible for the reeephvtty OF
young men for drugs and alcohol. As have
said. these remedial agents reek with mar
cotics, and all of them contain alcohol.
Soothing cordials. drops. ETC.. are
the infinite curse of childhood. The mother
would be much kinder to her child II she
were to smother 1t with pillow than to give
it these no1ious drugs. The cells OF the nu-
man body readily adjust themselves to any
condition, and when filled with opiates in
childhood they are ready enough to take
them or whisky, any sort OF toxic, because
thew all affect the cells measureably the
same, when they reach young manhood.
knowledge of fact remains. The bodily
cells have a persistent memory. They nave
the faculty OF acquiring taste for anything.
Once they have learned to like opium they
never forget the fact. The child who mas
been given opium Is far more likely to ac-
ouire this habit, and certainly can acquire 1t
Infinitely more readily when he Is grown up
than will one who has no acquaintance with
the drug.
Mothers, learn this fact, and bear it always
in mind. Do not 60 to the sin of the father for
the inebriety of your sons. II man Is
drunkard or opium habitue, inquire what
kind OF medicines were given him as child.
It is in the nursery too frequently and not IN
the saloon that drrnkards are made.-Vine-

RELIGIOUS READING.
ABOVE THE SHADOW.

fhe secret OF the perpetual happiness OF
some people is the fact that they dwell upon
spiritual mountain-tops, 'above the shadow
Of storm or cloud or any earthly Ill. 100
many lives are like the surface OF an April
meadow. the playground OF alternate light
and gloom, now radiant with burst OF sun
shine, now darkened by flying cloud-shad-
ows.
Little vexations-so trifling that they can
hardly be traced in memory except by their
lingering annoyance little disappointments.
perplexities. Sights. mistakes, affronts-these
are the things which make up tine greater
part of the misery Of the average human
life. And yet how trivial they are, when we
come to think upon them. How unnecessary
it Is that life should be clouded by such
things-life, which Is capable Of being spent
upon plan perpetually above them: We
can dwell above the shadow, If we will. We
can attain such height of spiritual blessed.
ness that all the little vexations OF life will
font beneathus as clouds beneath the feet OF
a mountain climber.
;, "How can you always be so cheerful and
happy. vixen you have so many cares?
asked a. lady of an overworked wife and
mother.
"Cares?" was the smiling rejoiner. "I
don't know what they are. These things,
which you call cares, are only privileges to
me-"
Here spoke a soul that lived above the
shadow! Not only did the clouds Of life loat
beneath her feet, but the perpetual sunshine
tn which she dweit bathed them all with
glory!
There is only one way to ge1 above the
shadow. 1t is to rake the love and hope OF
Christ into the soul. mere sunny DISPOSE
.tion will not keep one always happy. But
supreme faith in God Is like wings; 1t will
lift one into the sun-bright sky, whether the
shadow be that of a fitting April cloud, or the
lingering darkness Of eauinoctial storm.
Happiness that rises into blessedness, that is
supreme always and all-wise, can be nothing
less than Christian happiness. 1t must have
its source in Christ With such resources,
life with ali its ups and downs can no more
sadden and oppress human soul than rain
can drench the glistening forehead OF the
Jungfrau, or stormwind ruffle the plumage
of the eagle that scars in the sun.

BEARING BURDENS.

When burdens are given US to bear, 1t is
we'll that we search diligently to find the best
way Of bearing them. A log OF wood carried
at arms length soon proves too much for US
we must sink under its weight; we cannot
20 on with 1t. But grasped firmly and car
ried upon the shoulder we walk easily, and
may bear it long way without even stagger-
ing. There are those who carry their burdens
in such a way that all the harsh surfaces,
rough edges and corners seem to protrude
themselves quite beyond the province OF the
bearer. and to be always hurting his neigh
bors Beware lest the burden which we
might have kept 10 ourselves mar the happi-
ness of another's life! Our neighbor has his
own load-let US not add to it the weight OF
our own. OF hard things in this life there
are many, and each one Of us must have his
share of them. We should walk under them
bravely. manfully, but never alone. One arm
is ever stretched out to help, which we need
not fear to weary-one ear is ever listening
to hear our tale Of woe. Where the telling OF
it will do no harm, but good, one blessed
voice is ever saying to us, If we will but near
it, Fear thou not, for am with thee"

Justice Jackson was born in Paris, Tenn,
April 8, 1882. and his entire life was spent In
that State. In his youth he lived in jack
son. and was graduated from the East Ten
nessee College at the age Of sixteen. He
spent two years at the University Of Vir-
ginia. and when twenty-four years old was
graduated from the Lebanon Law School.
Then he began active practice. first in jack
son and later In Memphis. In 1875 he re-
turned to Jackson.
During the war he held a civil appoint
ment under the Confederate Government.
BE was twice appointed to the Supreme
bench of Tennessee. In 1880 he was
elected to the Legislature, but had
hardly taken his seat before his
associates chose him United States
Senator. He entered the Senate March
l. 1881, and there met Benjamin Har-
rison. then q Senator from Indiana.
close friendship at once began between the
two men, which has only been broken by
death. During six years of service in. the
Senate Mr.. Jackson was quiet but active
worker. He was on the Pensions Commit
tee and was noted for his efforts on behalf OF
deserving applications which came before
that body. He was also strongly in favor Of
building up the navy and providing for coast
defenses. which caused him to be frequently
antagonized by other members Of his party.
At the close of Mr.. Jackson's term as Sena-
tor. in 1887, President Cleveland appointed
him United States Circuit Judge for the
Middle District, including Tennessee, Ken
lucky, Ohio and Michigan. 1t was while
serving in this capacity that the unexpected
appointment to the Supreme bench came
from President Harrison, followed by quick
and unanimous confirmation in the Senate.
He entered upon the duties of this office

and later he married Mary Elizabeth. second
daughter of General ". G. Harding, Of the

them be freshly gathered. Pour over
them strong brine of salt and water
boiling hot, cover them close and al

half ounce each of whole black pepper,

low the vinegar to become boiling hot,
place the pickles in jar and pour the

top of pickles with vine leaves, allow
to stand for day; if the pickles are
not of a good green IN color, heat the
vinegar to almost boiling and pour it
over them again, covering with fresh
vine leaves. As an additional reason
for preparing them at home, it is well
known that the fine green color OF

A NEGLECTED GIFT.

It is by no means an unqualified blessing
for a meeting to have sixty testimonies In
thirty minutes. This sprightliness Is most
desirable at times, but not at all times. A
young convert may say, II love Jesus In
less than half a minute. The genuinenesS5
of his word touches everybody. That will
do very we'll at first, but if continued will
indicate stagnation. This Epworth move
ment is the revival OF all that is best in early
Methodisnl. Ali what exhortations and
what prayers IN the days long gone! Their
memory is redolent OF sanctihed zeal and
close communion with the Most High. We
need them now Our young people must be
"drawn out" to extort and to pray. watch,
brethren, those who have the gift to "per
