Tine Search For Truth.

Tn the search for truth no aid Is so effective as the ever ready spirit of aa- tiyity. He who postpones putting what he knows into practice until he knows more will find his journey long and discouraging one. Carlyle well says: "Convietion, were it never so excellent, is worthless till it converts itself into conduct Nay, properly conviction is not possible till then, inasmuch as all speculation is by nature endless and formless. Most true is it, as wise man teaches us, that, Doubt of any sort can not be removed except by action. On which ground. too, let him who gropes painfully in darkness or uncertain light and prays vehemently that the dawn may ripen into day, lay this other pre- oept well to heart, which to me was of invaluable service, Do the duty which lies nearest to thee, which thou know est to be duty. The second duty will already have become clearer.

Aa.m Knew the Flood was Coming.

An apooryphai book called the "Less- ST Genesis and well known to fhs early Christian fathers tells wonder gul incident in the life of Seth. the third son of Adam and Eve When the goodly Seth was about 40 years of age, he was ''rapt" up into heaven by trio of an- kels and there told and shown what was in store for mankind Among other things, the coming of the great deluge was made known to him. as was also the coming of tho Saviour. When he re- turned to earth, Seth told his parents what had happened and of what he had seen and heard concerning the future of the human race. And Adam was much grieved when it was made known to him that the world would be de- stroyed by water on account of the wickedness of his own children, but a great peace and calmaess came over him when Seth told how the face of the earth would again be repeopled @
 His joy was exceedingly great when Seth related what was in store in the coming ages, and he was particularly glad to know that redemption should finally come through Jesus, the Christ. y

Wrong Conclusion.

The Canadian Gazette tells an anus ing story of one who was too quick at drawing an inference. It happened that a Glasgow professor who was visiting Canada with the British association in 1884 was desirous of seeing something of northwestern life, and for this pur- pose repaired to an Alberta ranch.
 fixed him up as we'll as I could, the rancher says, but he complained that he did not like sleeping with his clothes on. So after the first night stretched cowskin across the shack and told him he might undress if he liked. He took off most of bis garments and put on a long white nightdress. h the morning my foreman came in while the gentleman was still sleeping. Observ- ing the white nightdress, he said in 6 whisper:

UNNECESSARY HERolsM.
q Connecticut Mans Experience With 6
 Substitute Bathtub.

SupsIlIule BathIuD
 One of the most ridiculous situations which at the time bring the coldest sweat out on mans brow and ever after remain with him as constant source of mirth occurred to Shelton merchant He thought he would take . bath, and as his fiat is minus ono of the chief requisites for the job--a bathtub --he extemporized one out of n small washtnb and enjoyed cooling ablu- tion
 He had just concluded and stepped from the tub for the towel, when sud denly the top hoop of the tub burst with sharp report, and the man saw to his horror that the whole contents of tho tub would soon be flooding the floor. At the same moment he thought of tho store beneath and tho amount of dam age the water would do as it ran down through the ceiling He is man of quick thought, ana in moment he did the only thing possible-threw himself down beside the tub and, clasping his | arms around it, held the already fast l swelling slaves together. He was suo- CosS1uA Ill hS6plIS tG0 WdiSi lH--pue 1 what situation He dared not yell, for he was hardly in a condition to receive callers. especially as he knew that all in the block at the time were of the gentler sex, and he realized at once that the only thing left for him was to stay in that position until the return of his wife, who was out on shopping expe- dition.
 Like the boy who saved Holland. he l manfully remained in his most uncom- fortable position until relief in Che shape of his wife appeared. Then, to cap the climax, when he asked her to get g rope or any old thing to tie about the tub, she, after long fit of uneontrolla- bic laughter. asked him why he didn'i carry tub and contents out to the sink room and pour out the water. With 8 look that froze the smile on her face he did as she said and without word don- ned his clothing and wandered out into the cold, unfeeling world, crushed and humiliated man. n.-Ansonia Senti nel

'.Here sre few letters ] wish yo' would mail for me. dear, ? said Mra. Tenspot to her husband. who was pre- paring to go out.
 AS MT Tenspot took them he glanced at the stamps and asked:
 My dear, why did you put 5 cent stamps on these letters? Two cent stamps would have carried them. "
 T know it. replied Mrs. Tenspot. .5ut how would a red etamp look on envelopes of that lovely violet shadei This new stationery is of an exquisite color, and I could not think of spelling Its effect with stamps which did moi harmonize. These purple 15 cent stamps are the nearest match tho postofnoe keeps. "--Harper's Bazaar.
