were such as to warrant the certainty
that all of them would be represented
al Indianapolis.

spondence, 1t was found that the gold
standard men of seventeen states had
already organized and named their
committeeman to the indianapolis con-
ference. The committeeman thus far

A CHEAP sACaIT.

A dainty and original sachet appropri-
ate for keeping in a. portfolio, with ones
writing paper may be easily contrived:
Seal securely in a nice envelope some
good sachet powder.
Next, letter upon the address side,
either with pen and ink, or paint brush
and gliding, the following appropriate
quotation from Owen Meredith:
When cards. invitations and three cor
cred notes
Fly about IKE white bottle fiies-gay lit
tie notes
In the sunbeam of fashion.
After the lettering is dry tie a white
ribbon about third of an inch wide
around the envelope, crossing 1t in front,
and fastening it with an ample bow on
the back of the envelope.
Finally, fasten the bow to the envelope
by q seal of wax, white or any color pre-
ferred. The wax should be placed partly
on the ribbon bow, and party on the en-
velope. The wax seal gives quite unique
effect to the sacilet and is particularly
appropriate to the especial use for which
the sachet is designed.

SCARCITY OF JOCKEYS.

good deal. Things are reaching such
pitch that it looks as if the day cannot
De far distant when the scale of weights
must be raised. This seems to be the only
remedy. The actual facts of the case are
that we have only about half dozen
Jockeys who can be reckoned thoroughly
capable and even with them it is bold
man who will claim that they are thor
ough horsemen. Then come a herd of
rattlebrained, uneducated boys, who have
learned to ride because there was some
natural talent latent in them, but whose
brains are not of the material to learn
their business thoroughly, even with ex-
perlence, and who, having reached GER
tam point, stand still indefinitely.-New

The reason that he who is striving
for wealth or renown for his own per-
sonal good or ACKNOWLEDGEMENT is never
satisfied is because there is want in
his nature that is never met, and new
er will be until he opens his purse or
seeks to bless others. That man alone
is truly blessed and happy who seeks
to gain that he may bestow on others
And finally the great lesson taught US
is that God himself only lives and Ia
bors to save and bless all his creatures
and that his happiness and the perfec-
ton of his purpose will not be attained
until every creature will be saved
from sin, misery and death.-Cenver-

POPULARITY OF THE SWEET PEA.


Fashion in eastern cities has decreed
that the dainty sweet pea shall hold first
place in the floral word, and now that
the season has come when it is in full
bloom its delicate beauty ADDS new charm
TO almost every wonan's toilet. In the
cities, where the fragrant punches are
sold at every odd corner, the fad of the
hour shows itself in the many buyers
that come along, but in the smaller
towns there has been klndled keen II
valry among society women over the
home cultivation of the flower AS early
as February the seeds may be planted, If
the season is not too severe, and ever
since early spring there mas been sup
pressed excitement among the fair owners
of private gardens as to the outcome OF
their sweet peas. Speculation as TO the
possible outcome of the precious oeos mas
been rife, and now that all the plants are
in full flower the pride and delight of a
lucky possessor of an odd variety are as
genuine as is the satisfaction OF the
happy owner Of a rare bit OF cnlna. En-

PERNIcqous LITERATURE.

The evil that comes from pernicious
and vile literature is greater than is
generally realized Blood curdling
stories, books that exalt robbery and
piracy and evil deeds of daring are
largely circulated among the young
where it would not be suspected, and
particularly in our public schools, and
their fruit is seen in corruption of
youth even in the best families. The
antidote to this is the circulation of
good books and the formation of
better taste for reading. Pastors and
teachers and parents should look care
fully after the reading of the young.
When such books as the Bonnie Briar
Bush can be had for cents there is
no excuse for reading poor books.
What to one of a better habit may
be silly book, may be to another
just what he needs. because adapted
to his present intelligence. When the
book is selected one should, read intel
ligently, thoughtfully, appropriatingly,
digesting it's truth and making it his
own. Thus the reading will enter into
and increase ones life.-Evangelist
