THE WORLDS NECESSITIES
Should be Considered by The Young
Man Choosing Career.

Rev. Charles II. Parkhurst, D. d., in
an article on Selecting Career" ad-
dressed to young men, in August La
dies Home Journal, says: Gin the life
of each one of us, when we reach GER
tain stage In our history, there comes
moment that is the thrilling counter
part of that, moment when we be-
come strangely conscious of resource,
and when the fbres of body, mind and
spirit knit themselves into kind OF
rigid consciousness of power, and
when that power is felt with bewilder-
ing distinctness in its relations to the
times in which we are living and to
the years that we are facing. And the
same overwhelming question comes to
us as came to Jesus when He heard
Gods voice as came to Moses when
he beheld the burning bush as came
to Paul amid the dazzling light by
Damascus what am going to do
with it all? 1 can make myself great
by means of it, or can make the
world great by means of it-now
whlch?' It is big question, and you
cannot answer a big question in a
small way. 1t strikes to the very root
OF the whole business of life, and you
cannot possibly grasp the root by chew
ing the twigs on the branches. 1t is
one of those crises in mans life that
for success or failure reaches clear out
to the end of the years. The entire
genius of the whole Christian business
lies right IN there.
at is matter of throwing ones
self for all he is worth into the scale OF
the worlds necessities, and the pro-
cess of choosing career is simply the
way in which one meets the question
as to the particular channel along
which the worlds necessities can best
be reached and supplied by his own
personal resources"

Hot Weather Hints.
Selected.

Selected.
In taking long rides on Warm days
it is better to ride before noon and al
ter 4 O'Clock in the afternoon. When
seized with feeling of exhaustion, IA
tigue, headache or falntness, the rider
should dismount at once and lie down
in a cool and shady place. Riders who
are subject to such seizures should
carry small quantity OF aromatic
spirits of ammonia. A teaspoonful in
a little cold water will do wonders.
The ride, however, should be dlscon-
tlnued at once. The back of the head
should be protected from the warm sun,
helmet being much better than a
light cap. There should be no tight
collar about the throat and the front
Of the shirt should be open if possible.

Profitable Publicity.

Selected.
Some advertisers advertise a part OF

Some advertisers advertise the whole

The advertiser who advertises part
OF the time may make money.
The advertiser who advertises all the
time almost always makes money.
1t doesn't make any difference what
you think, Or what I think, when the
fact stares both of us in the tace, that
while all who advertise may not make
money. few make money who do not
advertise, and that those who make
the most money are those who adver-
tise all the time.
There may be several men in your
town who have fairly we'll succeeded
with advertising part of the time.
but if your town is like most towns,
the men who succeed all the time are
the men who advertise all the time.
When times are good, advertising
pays, because, although there be much
advertising, there is much buying.
When times are bad, advertising
pays, because although there may be
little buying, there is little advertising,
and the man who advertises is more
conspicuous, and stands more in class
by himself, and draws from those who
don't advertise the business that might
be theirs if they did advertise.
Dull time advertising, sometimes
pays better than good advertising be-
because some people are buying all
the time, and they are more likely to
buy of the man who advertises, than OF
the man who doesn't

Vicarious Punishment IN India

London Nail.
A student of life and manners in the
Punjab has been struck by the large
proportion of very old men IN the In
dian jails. In the sprison at Mooltan
there were last year seventeen life pris-
oners, whose total ages were found to
amount to more than l 100 years, two
of them being patrlarchs of upward of
so yeaas.
This remarkable fact is attributed
partly to tie great improvement in the
economy of the Indian ]ails since the
exposure of their Encouragement some
years ago, but more directly to the
prevalent practice, when crime has
been committed, of handing over the
least useful member of the family as a
sort of vicarious offering to justice.
On this point the !nspector-General
of Indian Prisons observed that the
confinement which conviction entails is
of course, less irksome to the aged than
to the young.
"Moreover," he continues, "the peo-
pie know that specially comfortable
place in the shape of good food, ample
clothing, special dietary, the lightest
of work, and society not entirely UNI
congenial await the old man in our
jails.
GA case has been cited in which a
man had been strangled. The person
to whom the crime, by his own confess
sion, was brought home was a feeble
old fellow who had been paralyzed in
both arms for twenty years, and could
not have committed the crime. But,
as his family all said he did it, and he
himself said he did, and as there were
plenty of 'eye-witnesses,' the old man
went cheerfully to the jail, and lies
there STILL"
