GERMAN FARMERS WANT SILVER.
The Government Will Not Urge an Inter
national Conference.

the new German Ambassador to the
United States, Baron Won Thielman, when
asked what he thought Of the prospects that
Germany would participate in an lnterna
tional Monetary Conference, he said:
Let me ask what the United States will
do? 1t is doubtless problematical in both
cases. To be sure. the American Congress
has provided for delegates from this country
if there is to be a conference, but II is yet tc
be determined that one will be called. Twas
present at the last conference and was not
deeply impressed with the character Of its
deliberations or with its results
Baron Won Thielman is known in Germany
as gold man, though the Conservative par.
ty, to which he belongs, is favorable to sil.
yer.
The agitation for silver" the Baron con
tinued. "came mainly from the agrarian
population Of the North Of Germany and
was largely due to the low prices Of farm
products" He did not believe the Imperial
Government wouldtake any step toward the
culinG of ~ International Monetary Con
ference until after the ReichstaG had assem-
bled in November, and a great deal would
depend upon that body.
When asked if Germany intended to re-
move the restrictions put in force last sum-
mer against American cattle the AInbassa
dor replied that this would not be delayed
after Germany was assured that our cattle
were free from Texas fever. He denied very
positively that Germany's policy respecting
American cattle was in retaliation for the
ditferential duty levied by the American
tariff law on German sugars.

Cause OF the Franco. Prussian War.

The Franco-Prussisn war was due to
the fear of Prussia felt by Napoleon
IN. after the Austrian war OF 1855
where Prussia showed her power so
Enthusiastically. The immediate cause
was the refusal of the King OF Prussia
to forbid his kinsman, Leopold Of
Hohenzollern .Sigmarinien, from be-
coming a candidate for the Spanish
throne. Prince Leopold declined the
throne, hut France demanded that
Prussia promise that none OF the
Hohenzollern family should take 1t.
and the King of Prussia refused to do

battles, and on September the battle
ofsedan began, ending by the capitula-
tion of the Emperor to the King. The
siege of Paris began September l5;'
there were bloody fights all around
the city, which surrendered January

RELIGIOUS READING.
CHARACTER FORMATION.

The process of churacter-formatlon goes on
through the action and interaction OF many
forces. The totality Of life,a any moment,
i: the product mainly Of little things. TrlnlnS
choices, insignificant exercises OF Will, unlm-
portant acts often repeated, things seemingly
of small account-these are the thousand tiny
eculptors that are carving away constantly at
the rude block OF life, giving 1t shape ana
feature. Indeed, the formation OF character
is much like the work of an artist IN stone.
The sculptor takes rough, unshapen mass
of marble, and with strong, rapid strokes OF
mallet and chiseI quickly brings into view the
rude outline of his design, but after the out
line appears, then comes hours, days
perhaps even years, of patient, minute LABOR.
A novice might see no change in the statue
from one day to the other; for though the
chisel touches the stone thousand times, 1t
touches as lightly Us the fall OF raindrop,
but each touch leaves mark. A 1rleno OF
Michael Angelo called on the great artist
while he was finishing statue; some days
alterward he called again, and the sculptor
was still at the same task. The friend, look
ing at the statue, exclaimed -
s.Have you been idle since I saw you last?"
"By no MEANS" replied Angelo. II have
retouched this part, and polished that;
have softened this feature, and brought out
this muscle; have given more expression to
this lip. and more energy to this limb:
"Wpll, well!' said his friend, all these are
triaes"
ut may be so," replied Angelo; "but re-
collect that triaes make perfection, and that
perfection is no trihe."
So it is with the shaping OF character; each
day brings us under the play OF innumeraole
little influences. Every one OF these infu-
ences does its work for good or III; and all
do their work through our consent. By-and-
by appears the full and final result;.Rev.

Teaching Pheasants to Peck.

Walking down road lin Ceylon) one
morning with aneighbor, we suddenly
noticed little ball of fluff between
nv feet, and I could hardly avoid
stepping on it, as it stuck close to me;
almost immediately another appeared
at my friends feet, and We saw they
we're newly hatched pheasants, the
mother probably carried off by some
wild cat. As it was difficult to walk
with these little things running 30
close and in the way, we lifted them
into the short grass alongside, and
hurried on some fifty yards.
On returning we had forgotten them,
but one ran out, and so pertinaciously
stuck to my boots that, to save it, J
put it into my pocket, and on our
arrival at the bungalow tried to feed
il with small fragments of hard-boiled
egg, rice and white ants. Ofal these
it took no notice. Next morning the
other chick was found ct the foot Of
the bungalow steps, having probably
followed us unnoticed the day before.
then called my "bsbu," as I could
not get them to eat, and he said "they
must be taught.
He put the gauze wire cover they
were under and the crushed rice, egg,
etc., on a hardwood table, and taking
pencil from his pocket, and collect.
ing the eatables together, close to the
edge of the gauze cover, he lifted ita
edge, and, with the pencil point IN
serted, began sharply tapping among
the rice debris. The two chicks at
once ran over to that place and bent
over, watching the tapping, and to
our establishment, they began tapping
with their little besks the same way,
and before long had begun to iced on
their own account. just as the "babu"
had predicted; and after that lesson
we had no trouble. Mature.

SUNNY PEOPLE.

There's certain old lady, who lives in a
little old house, with very little in 1t to make
her comfortable. She is rather deaf and she
connot see very well, either. Her hands and
feet are oil out OF shape and full OF pain be,
cause of her rheumatism. But In spite OF oil
this, you would find her full Of sushine, and
as CHEEKY as a robin in June, and 1t would do
you good to see her. I found out one day
what keeps her 80 cheerful.
when T wus q child, she said, my
mother taught me every morning before got
out OF bed to thank God for every good thing
that could think of that he had given me.
for q comfortable bed; for each article OF
clothing; for my breakfast; for pleasant
home; for my friends; and for all my bles-
sings, calling each by name; and SO begin
every day with heart full OF praise to God
for all He has done and is doing for me-"
Here is the secret, then, Of q happy life
this having ones heart full Of praise; and
when we do as this dear little old lady does
that is, count our blessings every day, IN a a
spirit Of thanksgiving for them-we shall
find many q reason why we should praise
God.-Bufalo Christian Advocate.

POWER OF STANDING.

You cannot turn in any direction, but
moments thought brings your testimony to
the value Of this power Of standing. 1t robs
calamities of half their terrors simply to
stand and face them. Half the terrors Of
life are mere uncertain shapes, which good
steady look perceives to be not the threaten
ing ghosts they seemed, but mere, dim, fan
tastic shapes Of rock or tree. Even when
the danger is renl, stand and face it, and you
will often disarm it. What q good story
that Is OF Charles Wesley at Sheffield.
Preaching among the rude cutters there,
suddenly an army officer ran ut him
through the crowd with his sword drawn,
and crying, "Let me kill him!" Charles
Wesley s.ood. with No defence but that old
armor OF God which has so often stood His
saints in good stead, and TIN owing open his
coat, said: "Weil, sir fear God and honor
the king! What will you do2" What could he
do? Before that steadfastness the mans rage
fell back disarmed, and, from an enemy, he
became one of the Wesleys' stanchest sup
porters. Brooke Herford, D. D., in Ser

TEMPERANCE.
DRINK AND RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
The Quarterly Journal of Inebriety say.

The Quarterly Journal Of 1nebriety saye
Recently, a great railroad corporation
gathered ali the facts concerning the men
and the conditions of every accident which
had occurred on its lines for five years.
When tabulated. it appeared that forty per
cent. Of all accidents were due altogether, OF
in part. to the failures Of men who were
drinking; that in eighteen pcr cent. there
was strong suspicion Of similar causes, yet
no clear proof In one year over million
dollars worth OF property was destroyed by
the failures Of beer-drinking engineers and
switchmen. The company's rules requiring
temperate men for all positions are more and
more vigorously enforced. Engineers find
that practically they are unable to do good
work while using spirits even in small doses.
The coolness and presence OF mind so essen
tial in their work is broken up by alcohol In
any form. -, ,o,,ou
reach the same conclusion. II they are prac-
ticaI men. The startling mortality OF brake
men Is referable in many cases to the use OF
alcohol to drive out the cold, or keep awake
in long hours OF service. Each year the
duties and responsibilities OF railroad men
increase, and men more temperate, accurate.
prompt and careful in their work are re-
quired. Only absolutely temperate men can
do this work for any length OF time; all Others
fail and are dangerous In their weakness.
"a Western road permitted an inebriate,
who was really an able man, to continue as
a claim agent adjusting accounts against the
company. His drinking was supposed to be
an aid In the settlement Of claims with other
drinking men. After his death temperate

sand dollars year by doing the same work,

ehriates are always more or less incompe.

Struck the Water Evenly.
Harry A. Harmon leaped from the top OF
the Fort Dearborn Spice Company's building
Into the Chicago River at Chicago, a dis
tance OF ITO feet. The dive was the result OF
wager OF $50 between George A. Ginn, who
bet that Harmon could, and John E. Kane,
who bet he could not. The diver was to
dive into the Chicago River from any place
that could be secured, and turn somersault
backwards as he fell.
At the hour named persons on the Rush
street bridge were startled by seeing tall
figure, clad in pink shirt and sash and pur-
pie tights, step upon a jutting plank on the
root OF the adjoining building. Turning his
back to the wator with his hands on his hips
Harmon balanced himself on his toes on the
end OF the plank, glanced over his shoulder
at the water below. and, falling backwards,

revolution in mid air was made full length,

15S pounds. He has been diving for several
years, principally at San Francisco. his ma

1t does one good to read and think over
these words of Solomon: my beloved is
mine and I am His. We can never exhaust
the immortal meaning of these great words,
"I am His" Try to get into the deep mean
ing of this terse phrase. Does it mean, I
am His cbid2 1t does if the heart be
linked to His by the bands OF love be-
gotten by the Holy Spirit. You are. then, the
eternal child Of the eternal Father. What
relationship! If you were the child OF Queen
Victoria, you would not, OF course, be at
all ashamed OF it, You would be pleased to
have everybody know it. You would like to
have all men know that you belonged to the
greatest royal family ON earth. But you are
the child Of one infinitely greater than Eng
lands noble Queen.
Then, too, you are His beloved child. You
are getting the benefit of matchless love.
God loves you with all His wonderful heart
You almost shrink from such thought. It
seems too great to believe, but it is indeed

NO BEER IN THAT BUCKET.

near by came In at the alley gate and to the
kitchen where mother was working for the
comfort of her family. He asked for q
bucket. The men working on the brick wall
were thirsty, and he would take them a
drink. The bucket was brought. The lady,
remarling on the discomfort of working in
the hot sun that midsummer day, offered to
fill the bucket at her we'll. The water was so
cool men from offices and stores near by
often came or sent for water from that
we'll.
Reaching out for the bucket the man de-
clined the water. saying in friendly tone
that the mec would like beer better than
water-he only wanted bucket to carry 1t
in. Steadily the bucket was held back as
the lady said: II am sorry, 1 cannot loan a
bucket of mine for beer. Why, dare not.
