Good Manners Are Homemade.

Children must be taught what the
parents wish them to know. Teach them
truthful, gentle ways, and they will be
true and gentle. If a boy hears bad
language from his father, he will re-
peat it just as certainly as he has a
tongue in his mouth; and II little girl
hears her mother gossip, she will gos-
sip the moment she meets a playmate.
People who devour food like cattle
must not expect their children to have
nice table manners. Gentlemen and good
women are homemade. There is moth
ing on earth for which one ought to be
more thankfa for than having been
brought up in the atmosphere of a pure
home. Such home may be narrow
and even hard; IL may be deficient in
material comforts. A man as sturdy as
an oak once said: II was the son of
poor parents, and from my youth /
was Injured to self-denial and hard
ships; but 1 do not remember ever to
have heard word from the lips OF
either my father or my mother that
was not as IL should be-" Better such
recollections than a great inheritance.

Origin OF Some Of the Dnst.

Dust is TO large extent product
OF human activity. In houses and
workshops, on the highways and in
the streets, everywhere there is wear
and tear of things, and the product is
always dust. The wearing and cleans
ing of our clothing is continually
breaking up its fibres into minute par
ticles, and the friction of CT thing on
the skin carries away the scales OF the
epidermis, which are constantly being
shed and renewed.
Every contact of human feet,
horses hoofs and the wheels of vehi-
Giles with paving and road materials
wears away particles of iron and
stones. The effects of the weather
and the alterations OF cold and heat
disintegrate all exposed surfaces. To
these particles, which form the dust
invariably present in dwellings and
in the streets, there must be added
the innumeIable minute cells of vege-
table origin necessarily floating in the
air, and on n complete view the dust
produced by the disintegration of
meteors by contact with our atmos-
phere must also be mentioned.
Dust accordingly consists OF portions
Of all substances, organic and inor-
ganic, which decay by natural pro-
cesses, and are reduced to powder by
any means whatever. Few OF its
constituents can be recognized by the
naked eye. The microscope alone can
detect the nature of m sIy, ana espe-
cially those of the greatest impor-
taace. ALL the Year Round.

The Seven n,n,e. y, the World

Are the Koran of the Mohammedans.
the Eddas Of the Scandinavians, the
Try Pitikes Of the Buddhists, the Five
Kings Of the Chinese, the Three Vedas
Of the Hindoos, the Zendavesta, and the
Scriptures Of the Christians. The
Koran is the most recent of these seven
bibles. and not older than the seventh
century of our era. 1t is a compound of
quotations from the Old and New
Testaments, the Talmud, and the gos-
pei of st. Barnabas. The Eddas of the
Soandinavians were first published in
the fourteenth century. The Pitikes of
the Buddhists contain sublime morals
and pure aspirations, and their author
lived and died in the sixth century be-
fore Christ. There is nothing Of ex-
cellence in these sacred books not found
in the Bible. The sacred writings Of
the Chinese are called the Five Kings,
king meaning web of cloth, or the warp
that keeps the threads in their place.
They contain the best sayings of the best
sages on the ethico-political duties of
life. These sayings can not be traced
to a period higher than the eleventh
century Il. c. The Three Vedas are
the most ancient books of the Hindoos,
and it is the opinion of Max Muller,
Wilson, Johnson and Whitney that they
are not older than eleven centuries b.
c. The Zendavesta of the Persia1s is
the grandest of all the sacred books
next TO our Bible. Zoroaster, whose
sayings IL contains, was born In the
twelfth century Il. c. Moses lived and
wrote his Pentateuch fifteen centuries
b. c., and, therefore, has a clear mar
gin Of 800 years older than the most
ancient of the sacred writings.

A very old whale seventy-flve feet
long was killed off Nahant, Mass, March
9. 1t was the same whale seen by some
Swampscott fishermen a day or two be-

and forced to make for the shore to es-

party who secured the whale struck
him with a harpoon, when it at once
dove under water and reappeared about
a mile distant, swimming round and
round, and seeming to be entangled in
the line attached to the harpoon. In
the body of the whale was an old rus.

Hints and HELPS.

We cannot have right views of Christ
while we have wrong views of sin.
1t never pays TO try to avenge our
selves.
If God keeps our faith waiting. It is
that he may give us more than we
ask.
The devil hates the Bible because IT
reveals the fact that heaven is to be
devil-proof.
1t won't do any good TO reach the
masses, unless we reach them with the
gospel.
When we ask the Lord to bless others,
the most Of us want it done in our own
way.
The truth we hate the most is the
truth that hits us the hardest.
AS soon as Christ has place in the
heart the life begins to bear good fruit.

Seven Things that God WIN DO.

He will fulfill the desire of them that

The Lord viii give strength unto his
people; the Lord will bless his people
with peace.
He will love thee, and bless thee, and
multiply thee.
The Lord will maintain the cause Of
the afflicted, and the right Of the poor.
For thou wilt light my candle: the
Lord my God will enlighten my dark
ness.

every evil work. and will preserve me

Most of the colored people who went
to Mexico a year ago from Alabama
and Georgia are returning 20 their old
homes. They were misled by roseate
pictures OF Mexican land and society,
which closer inspection proved to be
false. Now the victims of this delu-
sion are anxious to get back to their
native homes in any way possible. The
millions of colored people in the south
are here to stay. A few may find their
way to Africa, but 500 are born where
one leaves this country to remain

A Silver Lining to Every Cloud.

Have You Not Heard Him Calling You?

Have You Not Heard Him Calling You?
"He saw a man named Matthew, sit
tin at the receipt of custom; and he
saith unto him, Follow me. (Matt9:9)
1t wasn't in the temple Of the syna-
gogue that Matthew received his call
to follow Jesus, but at his place OF
business. If you are a business man,
are you sure that Christ has never
called upon you at your place Of busi-
ness, and given you a special invitation
to become his disciple? Have you never
heard a still small voice saying, THAT
isn't right. Your profit was too large.
Your means were not honorable. 1t is
wrong to keep the store open on the
Sabbath Your methods are not strictly
honest. You are not dealing justly with
your help. You ought to make every
thing right that you know to be wrong"
II you have heard this, you have heard
the voice of Christ, and If you have re-
fused to obey, you have rejected him as
positively as Matthew would have done
had he declined to become his disciple.
You may stay away from church, and
go where you cannot hear the voice of
the preacher, but God will still call you
to account through your own conscience
until you completely kill the accusing
voice which he has put in your soul to
call you to repentance. You may shut
the Bible and weight ii down with all
your worldly interests, but you cannot
shut out the eye of God from looking
in upon your wicked heart. You may
get money by means that would over
turn the throne Of heaven, If your arm
were long enough and strong enough,
hut can never get hearts ease and
peace of mind while you refuse to hear
the voice of Christ calling you to follow
him.
