~And thou shalt be blessing.'-Gen.
XII. 2.
Make me blessing. Lord. to those love.
TO smooth and brighten their oft rugged
way.
Give me Thy blessed comfort from above
That may comfort others day by day.
Make me a blessing. Lord, to those meet,
Even amid the hurrying. eager throng:
Give me Thy spirit. ever. calm and sweet.
Thy light to shine thro' me both clear and
strong.
{ am so weak 1 hardly dare to pray
That my small light may bless yet
farther still;
That weary ones. the lone, the far away,
Ev'n 1 may help to show Thy love and
will.
And yet know the weak are strong in
Thee,
And knowing this I would. in Thy dear
name,
The greatest of all blessings that can be.
This precious gift, this crown of bless
ings, claim
To be a blessing in this world of woe
"And thou shalt be a blessing''1twas
Thy word.
This is the greatest gift Thou canst be-
stow:
Give it. pray, to me, cen me, o Lord.

WOMAN AND HOME.
PEaFUMlNo THE SKIN.

wo1ea Have Found Another Use for the
HyPoderuaic Syringe
From Paris comes the news that per-
fumes have been restored to favor.
The use OF hypodermic injections of
violet extract is the latest freaks OF the
Parisienne. This method is said to i'm
part lasting fragrance to the skin. It
is already quite easy to select among
the women at receptions those who are
addicted to this habit.
The plan originated with Paris
druggist, who communicated il to q
few well-known women. They eon6ded
in others, who in turn told their
friends. Now, 1t is asserted, half the
society women in the gay city use the
needle and the delicate extract.
This is all the more surprising from
the fact that. until very recently. the
use OF scents has been considered ex-
ceedingly bad form. Women OF re-
fined taste avoided everything in that
line except a delicate sachet powder,
which was allowed to find a place in
the handkerchief box and clothes clos
ct. Most Partisan whims find enthusi-
astic supporters here, however, and it
is very probable that with the Ameri-
can morphine iend and cologne drinker
we shall have the perfume faddist-
Extracts have increased. in. value. and
exorbitant prices are asked for So
called permanent fragrance" The ia
yorite distilled odors are violet and. Law
ender. Horrible to relate, musk is
being waited abroad, and a. new mix
ture of this penetrating scent is known
as 'Frou-Frou" sachet.
Every woman who uses perfume. of
any kind has her favorite. The one rule
is that there must be no mixing of odors.
The contents of hypodermic syringes,
sachet bags, atomizers and toilet water
bottles must be one familiar perfume.

You see before was married, when
ever went to dance, there was always
some one, four or five in fact, whom l
thoroughly liked, and to whom could
count to speak to me before the evening
was over and with whom could have 3
pleasant chat and dance. So, no matter
how distasteful my present partner
might be. my anticipations were pleas
ant enough TO make up for the present.
There were certain men who, per-
haps, were not actually in love with me
(she said this with perfectly straight
face), but who invariably felt disposed
to drift in my direction, so that Z was

might bring forth-that. of course, was
before I met you. dear.
when l go to dances now, seem to
lose remembrance of the fact that am
married, and with woman's vanity /
began to be painfully aware that the
very men who would have stood on their
heads had asked it in the past, could
not count on now to take the least in
terest in me or to talk other than the
dreariest platitudes. They were pain
fully polite, would advance toward me
with few commonplace remarks, and
when they favored me at a german with
some glittering trinket, for which L
used to be crazy, l felt as though it was
an expression of charity, portraying
that having my choice must abide by
it and not expect any very great eN-
ertiOns on their parts:
IT drifted from bad to worse till l
reached state of desperation, and when
1 saw Mrs. Sweetly gazing fondly into
Dicky Robinson's eyes the other even

who really lives. and the reason she does
is because she forgets she is married.

course, only when went to some social

might be called a confession.
Maybe you would not be averse to
being given an opportunity to use my
insurance money; or else a judge in the
divorce court might be prevailed upon
to render his decision
But here my remarks were cut short
by q demonstration that would hardly
look well in words-in fact should be
at loss how to express such mani
festation of feminine protestation.
When she had resumed a state that

my lips, and / felt as though the eyes

feeling of disgust changed to one of

serious, and became more effusive in
his remarks and manifestations Of love.

WORD of cheer, OF Il helping hand is
needed, a thousand times more than one
more unit in society"
If you should speak with 3 touch of
surprise to Mrs. Booth about her fine
ly bred manners, and gentle quiet, you
would be met by smiling reminder
that although the noisy fervor of the
Salvation Army is intended and does
appeal primarily to those u2schooled
in suppressing their emotions, yet there
is spirit behind the method which
appeals to all. 1t is Mrs. Booths gen.
tle sunny manner, as well as her mag
I.etism. refinement and rarely fine edu-
cation, that makes her work so won
derfully successful. She was the daugh-
ter of a well-known English Episcopal
Clergyman, and. in a charming home,
was finely educated by a French gov
erness. When her school days were
over she was spending the summer once
a an English watering place, where she
was brought face to face with the work
OF the Salvation Army, and within a
few months she returned home to tell
her father that she wished to cast her
lot with the people whose belief was of
the heart, not of the head. Her family
were bitterly opposed to it ali, but she
lett, anu WAS SOON promoted 10 open the
campaign of the Salvation Army in
Switzerland, where they met antago-
i,ism at every step, and where she was
thrown into prison. The British min
ister demandedsher release, and before
it was granted the affair became state
issue. A few years later she married
Gen. Booths son, and they came to
America as co-leaders of the Salvation
Army. They are natrralized citizens,
and in their years of labor here the
work they have done is so extensive and
has made so many people happy, that it
is with regret all classes heard the
news OF their recall.-Orange Judd
Farmer.

The Climate Anects the Tongue.

Gutterals predominant in Norway
and Russia, whereas far to the south
ward, in sunny Italy, there is profu-
sion of such euphonious names as Pal
ermo, Verona, Campobello and so forth.
Even in the British isles, covering so few
degrees of latitude, there is marked
difference between the burr" of the
Highlands and the soft speech of the
native of southern England. A theory
which may partly account for these cli-
matte effects is based upon the contrast
of the stiffness which usually prevades
southern lands with the stormy in
quietude of northern countries.
Cloudless skies for months at a time
characterize the climate of Italy. while
a armament entirely free from clouds
is rare in Norway. It requires, OF
course, greater efforts to be heard in re-
gions which are swept by winds and
storms than in still southern ATTITUDES
and TO be heard distinctly amid the
noise and confusion of the elements
words must be used which contain
many consonants. Among the inhab-
itants of more tropical climes the tend
ency is toward soft and musical cadence
and travellers relate that in regions of
South America such as Peru and Vene-
zuela, where atmospheric disturbances
are rare, the natives almost chant the
phrases of salutation.-Chicago News.

WANTED THINGS BRIGHT.
The Artist Turner Was q Great Lover OF
Pure CoIor.

Pure Co1or-
Turner, the great artist, could never
have enough of pure color One var
nishing day, the artist Lee had asked
the other academicianS for criticisms of
his work, framehouse on fire, and one
and another threw in pertinent sugges-
tons. At last Turner approached:
'Ah, here is Mr.. Turner" said Lee,
''but he never has anything to say
Put more fire in your housed" said
the master, and passed on 1t was not
half blazing enough for himi
William Westall said that he once
saw a picture of Turner'S wherein d
paln-tree had been painted yellow, and
he felt it duty to approach the famous
artist, though with trepidation and
apologies, and to inform him that \
palm-tree never is yellow.
81 have travelled a great deal in the
east, Mr.. Turner he said, land there
fore / know of what am speaking
can assure you that palm-tree is never
of that color; it is always green"
''Umph!" grunted Turner, almost
transfixing him with the glance of his
keen eyes, 81 can't afford lit Can't
afford iti'' And-he walked away
81 felt under his steady gaze said
Westall, ''that IT was quite immaterial
what color the tree might be in nature,
sc long as he desired it different
think 1 could have sworn that it was
different while I was under his eye!"-
