Literary Note.


To many thinking meGI and wo.
men the Constitutional church"
seems hardly, as yet, an established
reality. It's purposes, scope, and
management are not widely COM
pretended; and yet the movement
Is n of the most remarkable
activities of the modern, philan.
thropic and religious world. A
number Of great institutional
churches, with all their educa-
tional and rescue agencies, may be
found busily at work in large cities
of this country to-day, and the
work of several will be described
In The Sunday School Times by
noted leaders In this field. Iii the
issue of FEBRUARY %, the Rev. John
u. Scudder writes: "The Keynote of
Institutional work Is ministerIng
to tho entire man, and Interesting
yourself In every department of
his being and he proceeds TO tell
how this is done at the Jersy CITY
Tabernacle, in Its five buildings
teeming with busy workers, and
planned TO suit the special needs of
the community.

Ned now perceived the tears that
filed gentle Minnie's eyes, and he
was yisibly affected, and sincerely
confessed and regretted in sorrow
his undue haste and severity toward
her. He took her lovingly into his
arms and asked thousand pardons.
Filled with pleasant emotions,
Minnie blessed the happy moment
Of forgiveness and reconciliation
and at the same time had the salts

er upon the success OF his suit, and
longed for the time when she could
call Hattie Wynn her sister.
Without going into detail about
the further courtship of Ned Van
0mer, it is sufficient to state that
they were happy in anticipation of
speedy reunion, but infinitely more
happy on the occasion Of their mar
riage, which took place at an early
day.

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.


Wen begin with box, and the plural is
boxes,
But the plural Of OK should be oxen, not
oxes.
Then one fowl is goose, but two are cali
ed geese,
Yet the plural of moose would never be
meese.
You may find lone muse or whole
nest of mice,
But the plural of house is houses, not hice.
II the plural of man is always called men.
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called
pen
Then COW in the plural may be cows or
kline.
But bow ifrepeated is never called biDe.
And tie plural of vow is vows, never vine.
If speak of foot and you show me your
feet,
And / give you boot would pair be
called beet?
1t one is tooth, and q whole set are teeth,
Why couldn't the Plural Of booth be called
beeth?
Ii the singular's TINS ana the piufai Is
these,
Should the plural of kiss ever be hickman
ed kese?
Then one may be that and three would be
those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
And the plural OF cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of brother, and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say
methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his
and him,
But imagine the feminine she, shis and
SHIN.
So the English, l think, you all will agree.
Is the queere st language you ever did see.

Did you ever stop to think what
indigestion really meansI 1t means
simply that your stomach is tired.
If our legs are tired, we ride. The
horse and the steam engine do the
work. Why not give your stomach
a ride; that is, let something else do
its work. Foods can be digested
outside of the body. All plants con-
tain digestive principles which will
do this. The Shaker Digestive Cor
dial contains digestive principles
and is a preparation designed to rest
the stomach. The Shakers themselves

it that they have placed 10 cent sam

proves beneficial in vast majority

1t IS Of the greatest Importance to
users of the telephone to put this new

Sunday next. and not before. After
that time the old directory, with the
Straw colored cover should be destroy

the use OF the old numbers after the

were used before that time. j10 ct
