Unconsciousness of Goodp ess.

The truest goodness is unconscious
and spontaneous, never thinking of it
self. He is a poor reader who still
has to bring before his consciousness
every letter, or even every word, on the
page before him. He has not gone far
in the mastery of the piano who has
to select consciously every separate
key he touches. So the virtue that is
aware Of it's own excellence, and has
time to give itself little pats on the
back by way of approval, must be of a
very crude and elementary sort. Real
goodness of life is the overflow of full
life, which is conscious indeed of a
gJadness in God and in His service, but
has no time to appraise this act or that.
1t is even surprised to find others so
speak of itself, as the saints at the
Judgment to- hear the Judge speak of
their acts of goodness toward himself.
When we still stop to say of our acts:
How good that was, how unselfish,
how nobel" we are at best in the low
est class in the school in Christ.--S. S.
Times.

ALL HAVE A PART.
A Cheering Thought for One Who
Alone in Life.

A Cheering Thought for One Who Ii
Alone in Life.
A visitor to wooden mill in q manu-
featuring town was impressed by the
order with which the great bodies of
men and women were drilled to perform
their separate tasks. There was no
jarring or confusion. Each class full
filled it's especial duty. The owner Of
the mill named each division of workers
to his guest, and the wages paid to them.
Presently the stranger saw woman
standing apart, idle but watchful. A
boy at the bobbins held up his hand.
She hurried to him, and took his place
while he went out. When he came back
she stood again, watching. A weav-
er at hand loom tangled his
thread. She patiently unraveled the
knot. She kept tally for clerk who
was counting packages of finished
work. She tied broken thread here,
or picked out flaw there.
what is that woman?" asked the
visitor.
'Oh, only supply" was the careless
answer. "She is general helper. The
looms must not stop. She is ready to
help any worker who needs help"
''But she has nothing to show for her
work on Saturday night?"
mo. But she is paid her wages. She
earns Them" said the owner of the mill,
significantly.
The stranger, when he had left the
great mill, thought that the world in
these latter days was not unlike such
an establishment. A great deal of good
work is done in it, and done usually by
drilled workers, who move together.
Every profession and trade has it's or
ganization; there are countless guilds
and clubs, artistic, charitable and re-
ligious.
But here and there is lonely woman,
who has not even family ties. She is
an invalid, or poor and single. Pos
sibly she is the grandmother, whose
companions have died and left her
stranded in young, gay world. Or
she is the maiden aunt, who is asked to
make long visits in the houses of her
kinsfolk, and who nurses, or cooks, or
sews for them without wages, and some
times without thanks. Or she is the
elder sister, who still feels herself
young, but who is left at home when
picnics or parties are given.
These women will never, perhaps, be-
long to any large class of workers. They
always will be supplies" They are or
dered to give q helpful touch here, or
word there, that the looms may not stop.
They will have nothing, perhaps, to
show as their own work at the end.
But they will have earned their wages,
and will be paid them by Him who
"came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give His life Il ransom
for many."-Youth's Companion.

THE MODEL PRAYER.
It's Various Petitions Parallel tho Teach-
ings of the Beatitudes.

It's Various Petitions Parallel tho Teach
ings of the Beatitudes.
AS the ten commandments are sum-
mary of our duties, so the Lords prayer
is summary of what ought to be our
desires. The decalogue begins with
the duties we owe TO God, and passes on
to those we owe to another. The prayer
begins with desires for God, and ends
with desires for ourselves.
1t might be expected that there would
I've resemblances between the prayer
and the beatitudes which had just been
pronounced. The prayer teaches that
God is our Father, and the beatitude
declares that "peacemakers shall be
called the children of God" His name
is hallowed by the humble and meek.
The privileges of the kingdom belong
to 'the poor in spirit" for even now,
theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven"
The will of God is done only by "the
pure in heart" The prayer for daily
bread has Il spiritual as well as physical
application, and they realize it who
hunger and thirst after righteous
ness" Sorrowing for sin we pray that
our trespasses may be forgiven. and
are assured that blessed are they that
mourn, for they shall be comfortcd."
We profess that we who ask forgive
ness, practice it toward others, and are
taught that BLESSED are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy" We ask
to be delivered from temptation and all
evil, and are assured that, even though
prosecuted for righteousness sake, we
shall not only be delivered from all
harm, but that great shall be our re-
ward in Heaven" Matt. SLIP.
This prayer is capable of ever-varied
application. We may crowd a volume
into each clause. We may offer it amid
the activities of life, and when drawing
near to the gates of death. 1t is suited
to all ages and to all minds. There are
depths in it which the most thoughtful
intellect cannot fathom, and shadows
where children may lave their feet;
heights which the strongest climber
cannot scale, and valleys where the
weak and wounded may be refreshed.
The newborn child of God may accept
ably present it, though he only under
stands rs a child; the matured believer
finds increasing help in it as he puts
away childish things. What the poet
so beautifully says of prayer in it's vari-
Gus utterances may be said of this one
particular prayer:
Prayer Is the simplest form of speech
That infant lips can try;
Prayer the sublimest strains that reach
The Majesty on. high"

considerable distance, until he finds
favorable spot, which should be between
two bushes, where sleeps lungs are,
so that Mr.. Coyote will have to approach
from one or the other of the two sides
to get at the meat. Leaving the traps
at this place the hunter now carries the
bait again to another point, and drags
it as before to the chosen spot. This
dragging leaves two trails" of scent,
which the wandering coyotes can easily
"pick up" and follow, thus the chances
OF alluring the game the first night are
increased. On arriving the second time
at the two bushes the sleeps lung is
set on either side, just about where a
foot would tread if an animal polSed his
nose in to eat or to smell. The traps are
buried carefully and are lightly covered
over, while all traces of IMAM" are re-
moved.
All steel traps are provided with
chains, which should be wired to heavy
iron weights, so that the animal that
gets foot in can drag the whole thing.
He never goes far, and there is less
chance for him to jerk his foot out than
there would be if the trap were fas-
tened to anything solid and stationary.
The weight is buried when the trap IL
set. These are the tactics used in war
against Mr.. Coyote. Something in favor
of the cunning wretch ought to be said.
but up to date no one who knows the
wary, no-account creature has found
single redeeming trait in his makeup.
Poor, despiceable Mr.. Coyote!-N. Y.

WHY 4 AM HAPPY.

Dear Tom is dead. please come tonight
She autographed. With keen delight
! read the message.
Roses, for consolation meant,
sent. but Oh! with what content,
] paid expressage.
Don't think me heartless, till you know
Death has relieved me of foe.
Tom was my rival.
When he began to pine away
scarcely was the one to pray
FOR his survival
He's hated me since first we met.
He was a most pronounced brunette.
While am fair.
He was more favored of the two;
or soft caresses very few
Fell to my share.
But now he's dead, feel no spite,
I hope his harp is tuned all right,
His robe fit. his halo bright
With gems galore.
And Just this once do I confess
The reason of my happiness
Because on earth there's one cat less.
In Heaven one more.

If you can't manage that, some other
stout wood, like ash or hickory, will
do) and see that it tapers like whip
handle and is about 10 inches long.
Next, cut from single, IL you can't
get a good slice of Australian waffle
bark, three-cornered piece, about
four inches long, of the shape shown in
the sketch. When he has these two
ready, the young black fellow asks his
mother to make for him a cord out of
the twisted sinews Of a kangaroo's tail.
II your mother doesn't find it conven-
lent to do this, probably a bit of stout
flshing-line will answer the purpose.
Tie your thrce-cornered piece of shingle
20 one end of the cord, and then tie the
other end of the cord around groove
in the top Of the handle SO that it will
turn freely, and so that the lash will be
about as long as the stock of this whip.
Now your perboregan is made, and you
are ready to begin having fun with it.
Get off by yourself-in the middle of
ten-acre lot would be about right
and swing the thing around your head
as hard as ever you can. Then stop it
suddenly with peculiar twist or jerk,
and it will crack like n horsc-pistol.
They say it can be heard two miles on
a still day; but perhaps would be well
to prove this, if you can, by going about
that distance from other folks when
ever you practise.-Ernest Ingersoll, in
St. Nicholas.

NEW NOISE PRODUCER.

4 Suggestion Picked Up by Traveller In
South Australia.
Boys, here is way by which you can
make new noise-new, at any rate,
to this part of the world. 1t has been
heard many time over in South Aus
tralia ever since do not know how long
ago. And very likely those who love
peace and quiet have often been saying:
"Boora gaboora-boora corroboree!"
which Jack is informed means: stop
that racket" or something of the sort.
Now look at this picture, and do as the
young Australian does when he takes it
into his woolly head to make a
perboregan, and you will have some

MAKING CHEAP TOYS.
How an Old Austrian Woman Carves
Animals of Every Kind.

Animals of Every Kind.
Amelia B. Edwards, in her "Untrod-
den Peaks" mentions many interesting
visits to the homes of the working peo-
pic of st. Ulrich, Austria, where SC
many toys are made. In one house
they found an old, old woman at work,
Magdalena Paldauff by name. She
carved cats, dogs, wolves, sheep, goats
and elephants. She has made those six
animals her whole life long, and she has
no idea of how to cut anything else.
She makes them in two sizes, and she
turns out as nearly as possible thou
sand of them year.
She has no model or drawing Of any
kind to work by, but goes on steadily,
unerringly, using guages of different
sizes, and shaping out her cats, dogs,
wolves, sheep, goats and elephants with
On ease and an amount of truth to ma
ture that would be clever, If it were not
utterly mechanical. Magdalena Paul
dauff learned from her mother how to
carve those six animals, and her mother
had learned, in like manner, from her
grandmother.
Aiagdalena has taught the art to her
own granddaughter, and so it will go
on being transmitted for generations.
In another house, Miss Edwards found
the whole family carving skulls and
crossbones for fixings at the bases OF
crucifixes, for the wood carving Of Grod-
ner Thai is religious in its nature as well
as amusing. In other houses there were
families that carved rocking horses or
dolls or other toys, and in still other
houses there were families of painters.
In one house were a dozen girls paint
ing gray horses with black points. In
another house they painted only red
horses with white points. 1t is sep
arate branch of the trade to paint sad
dies and headgear.
A good hand will paint IL dozen
horses day, each horse being about a
foot in length, and for these she is paid
IS soldi, or about 81 cents.

The Examples of Great Lives.

In recent talk on reading, Mrs.
Humphrey Ward quoted Prof. Jowett
as saying to her: "We shall come in
future to teach almost entirely by
biography. We shall begin with the
life which is most familiar to us-the
life of Christ; and we shall more and
more put before our children the ex-
amples of great persons lives so that
they shall have from the beginning
heroes and friends in their thoughts"

Not a Grateful Man.

A man who had lost his wife said to
me: 1T is hard; it is cruel; instead
of drawing me nearer to God, it has
hardened me-" And yet that man had
received that precious gift from God;
she had enriched his life and made
him what he was, and not once did he
say to God: Thank YOU" And when
she was gone he never thought to be
grateful for what she had been.-Rev.

How to Keep Cut Flowers.

1t is said that cut flowers will keep
