RAGS AND ROSES.
Illustrating Professions Only Meant to
Cover EVIL Living.

Cover EVIL Living.
y raggedly dressed man passed me on
the street just now, but his rags were
not the particular feature of his appear
ance that attracted my attention. Sin
Gu!arly enough the man was wreathed
with roses and wore belt of roses, as
we'll as huge boutonniere and roses in
his hat. The roses aroused curiosity as
one looked at him. 1t was q
singular and an unhappy combi-
nation-rags and roses. The explana-
ton was not far to seek. The man dis
tributed cards as he walked, announce
ing the business place of florist,
who had hired him as n perambulating
show window. The inconsistency of
the arrangement was conspicuous. The
ragged garments should have been re-
paired, or the roses dispensed with. The
lack of harmony was painful. But the
man of the rags and roses is not the
only Inconsistent person that one meets
in days journey. There are men and
women who make rosy professions of
Christianity, but whose characters are
as ragged as the garments Of the peri
patetic rose garden. i have read some
where a suggestion that good trees and
corrupt fruit are not in harmony; that
we should "either make the tree good
and his fruit good, or else make the tree
corrupt and his fruit corrupt, for the
tree is known by his fruit" The rags
speak with greater force than do the
roses. The rags belle the roses. There
fore, till the rags are mended or dis
posed of, the roses should not be much

The Superior X Rays.

Prof. Roentgen insists on calling the
rays which produced his wonderful
photographs TX" or unknown" rays,
as distinguished from cathode rays,
advancing in support OF this view the
two considerations that in the passage
through the air a smaller proportion of
the X rays than of cathode rays is alb
sorbed, and that the direction Of the lat
ter can be changed by magnet, while
the course of the former cannot. II SO,
these Y rays would seem to afford q
fine symbol of the infallible illumina-
ton of divine truth, which enters our
world but is incapable of being absorbed
and lost in the transit like cathode ray,
and is in no peril of being diverted from
its true course and mission by any mag
netic attraction of lower, earthly
character. The Scripture ray is the
superior X ray.-N. Y. Observer.

ic manner, and then we can do almost
anything with him. This applies to
statesmen as well as to the general pub
lie. All men are more or less alike.
Some of the senators and other
guests are so kind that it Is pleasure
for the walters to attend to them. 9th
ers are SO inconsiderate and unreason-
able that it is hard to get the walters
to give them proper attention. In this
matter men are usually unwise, be.
cause, after all, they are subject to thu
whims and caprices of the walters, and
no proprietor can change the condi-
tions. The walters here are SO well
trained that they do their best to ac-
commodate their guests. New walters
would become confused and paralyze
our system. Therefore it is necessary
to keep the same walters on duty year
in and year out, if possible to do SO.
AS a result these walters know their
customers, and treat them according
to their merits, or dement's, as individ-
uals. Consequently, the statesmen who
are kind and considerate are waited
upon with alacrity, while those who are
disagreeable are sometimes left until
the last. They may complain and kick,
but they are told by the walters that
their orders are being attended to as ex-
peditiously as possible. You can thus
easily see that in this restaurant as in
all restaurants the walters size up their
customers and act according to their
own judgment and inclinations as to
proper service" SMITH ID. FRY.
