TopIc.-How to get patience and why.-Jas.
v, 40.
Among many other duties to which
James exhorts us in this eminently
practical epistle is the Christian grace
of patience.
The reason for patience lies mainly in
the fact that patience is absolutely nec-
essary to the Christian life. We are in
world of tribulations, of prosecutions,
of doubts, perplexities and of uncertain
ties. Under many conditions in life the
only thing possible for us to do is to pa
tiently wait the will Of God.
This grace of patience is very much
needed in this day. It's Importance is
moderated. Too many methods OF life
tend to produce physical conditions that
result in impatience and irritability of
disposition and character. 1t is serious
defect in the Christians character. II
any one should be expected to be patient
and submissive under the trials of life
it should be the Christian, and if he is
not, no matter if his impatience is pro-
luced by physical ailment, it is detri-
mental to his religion.
Patience should be constantly and
carefully cultivated. Some ways of Gull
tivating patience are mentioned by the
apostle.
|. Patience may be cultivated by re-
Numbering the second coming of Christ.
The certainty of Christ's second coming
should assist us in being patient, in en-
during the greatest hardships and diff
culties without murmur and complaint
Why? Because the assurance of this
fact proves that these things which tend
to produce impotence and complaint
will some time have an end. We can en-
dure a great deal when we know that 1T
will not last forever.
2. The example of the husbandman
should teach us patience. He sows his
seed and then has TO wait for months
until the sunshine and the rain bring
forth his crops. If he can wait so pa
tiently for the results of physical toll
and labor, cannot we endure for spirit
ual blessings?
3. The example of others should slim
ulate us to be patient. The prophets OF
!
were wrecked and scourged and stoned
and sawn asunder and were slain with
the sword, yet they patiently endured.
Job is particularly referred to as one
who exercised unusual patience, yet he
was not without his reward. Christ
himself by example teaches us to be pa
tient. He endured every trial and hard
ship and at last was led forth to death
and yet Gas lamb before the shearer
is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. ;
4. God Furnishes impotence. 1t i'm
plies mistrust in Him. If we murmur
we will be condemned. "Behold tn
Judge standeth at the door. p" lmpa
thence is a grievous sin, as it implie
mistrust Of God Himself.

Endureth Forever.

Yesterday friend took an opal and
pressed it in his palm and held it there
for few moments, and then took it out
and showed it to me, and it was all flash
ing with light and with color from the
heart of it. So God takes you and me,
poor stones with no light or life i'll us,
and He holds us in His palm, and He
presses us to His heart and then takes
us, as it were, away from Him for the
moment, and out from us there flash
patience and courage and hope and love,
which His heart and His warmth have
put into us. They will die and be for
gotten, but the great hand that holds
and the great heart that presses and the
great soul that inspires will not die and
will not be forgotten. The grass wither-
eth and the flower fadeth, but the word
of our God endureth forever. Lyman
Abbott, ID. d.

SILK FROM THE SPRUCE.
Pulp Fiber Ia V"nnd to Eske Very
Cood Substitute.

Pulp Fiber II t"nbd to Eske a Very
Good Substitute.
Silk of excellent quality is being
made from the spruce tree in Europe,
and a NOV ement is on foot to establish
the industry in this country. 1t is said
that the cost of making silk by this proc
ess is one-fifth that of the spinning
from the silkworm cocoon. The fiber
takes dye as readily as the animal prod
uct and can be woven as securely and
as rapidly. 1t is also claimed that the
tensile strength of the fabric is as great,
as if not greater than, the real silk.
Although the spruce lends itself to
the process better than most woods, 9th
or forms of pulp can be used, the in
ventor even declaring that old newspa-
pers, after they have been cleaned of
the printers ink, may be readily made
into silk. The inventor, who has made
the subject "a study for 20 years, based
his experimental work on the fact that
the silkworm, in eating and assimi-
lating the leaf of the mulberry tree, OBJ
tanned the foundation of the silk from
vegetable fiber. In trying to hit upon
the particular chemical process that the
original fiber went through before it
was spun as silk by the loom he found
that after the fiber had been separated
it needed the chemical action of GER
tain form of glucose. In the new treat
ment the tree is crushed. and the result
ing fiber is mixed with glucose and
then placed in deep metal tubs. A disk,
somewhat like steam piston, is then
forced down on the mass by hydraulic
pressure until it is compressed into a
very heavy gum. At the bottom of the
tubs are tubes terminating in tiny glass
nipples, with exceedingly small aper-
lures. Under the hydraulic pressure the
mixture is forced out of these glass
nipples in silklike fibers, which are sc
fine that the girls who are employed il
this portion of the process are Obliged
to wear highly magnifying glasses IL
order to see when any of the fiber'
break. The material is then car
ried over electrically heated drums,
which dry the ether and the alcohol
out of it. 1t is then plunged into icec
water, dried and spoiled for the looms

A RAGMAN'S GOOD LUCK.
Inherits the Estate Left by Colonel
Blanchard, the Gambler.

Inherits the Estate Left by Colonel
Blanchard, the Gambler.
The contest in New York over the
estate of Colonel W. b. Blanchard, the
gambler, has been settled by the with
drawal of the claim of Fannie Bel1eiser
to be his widow. She has executed a
release of all claims on the estate and is
to receive only the 1000 which was
left to her in the will. Thomas Leggett,
the ragman, who made the discovery
that Colonel Blanchard was in reality
William l.. Leggett and his brother,
gets all of the estate except $l3, 900,
which was left in trust to eight persons,
they being personal friends who had
helped Colonel Blanchard at various
times when he needed assistance.
Mrs Belkeiscr had announced that
she had a marriage certificate which she
would produce She did not have it, al
though called upon by the referee to
show it. 1t is said that the day follow
ing she made a statement renouncing
all her claims
Judge Ransom has stated that he had
not made any order in the case, aud his
report as referee has not yet been fled
with the public administrator He said
that if the case was settled it had been
done out of court by arrangement be-
tween the parties
There is, it seems, no doubt that the
claim of Thomas LeggetJ to be the sole
heir to the estate can be fully attcsted,
and in the course of time he will re-
ceive the residue of his brothers. prop

A Way to Cleanse Dock Walls.

Silt rapidly accumulates against the
dock walls along the river front at Inv
erpool and has to be removed. Instead
of scoop dredges, pipe is laid along
the base of the dock walls. This is per-
forated with holes, directed outward,
and connected with the interior of the
dock system, and valves provided. When
the tide is low, and consequently the

" at its greatest, the connection is sud-

Pockets Full of Gold.

Pretty little dandelion,
With pockets full of shining gold,
In the air thy hair'll be flying,
Like down, when thou art gray and old.
Laughing children will be blowing
The silvery locks from thy gray head;
Time of day they think they're knowing
BY what the dandelion said.
Buds may try to hide their treasure,
Their wealth will burst their pocket soon'
Sunshine kiss and fill their measure
THEY'LL open for that welcome boon.
Pockets full of bright gold teeming
Will open be all the day.
Ere the coming time for dreaming
They'll close their purse and hide away
None their riches shall be stealing.
They wish to take them when they leave,
And in higher realms are reeling
All, little flower, do not grieve.
Tby bright gold do not think of taking
Away from earth, through higher air.
Snowflakes neer use gold in making,
And so the clouds need none up there.
Man must leave his when departing,
Though some to il would like to cling.
Thou, too, dear little friend, ere starting
Must leave il, when thou shalt take wing.
Freed from heavy weights impending,
With lighter wing thou'lt soar the air;
Then In time, thy gold conceding,
To meet thy comrades flying there.
Fare thee well, fair, flying f9werl
90 scatter seeds which shall DO grown.
They will find some grassy bowen,
And thou shalt reap as thou hast sown,

Laupreys.

In the rivers and lakes of New York
state there is bandit fish that roams at
large and makes its living by robbing
the gentlemen fish. 1t even attacks such
vigorous fish as the black bass and the
pickerel, fastening itself to them and
sucking their blood until they are dead.
The name of this bold bandit is the
lamprey. Professor Gage of Cornell
university has seen IL, 600 of these lam
preys spawning at one time in the out
let of Cayuga lake alone, and he has es-
timated that they kill more fish than all
of the fishermen of the state put togeth-
er. The lamprey is about the size and
has somewhat the appearance of an eel.
Professor Gage advises some manner of
killing them by means of traps in the
streams as they 60 up in the spring to
spawn.

SWALLOWED THE POODLE.
The Pet "a Victim, but the Children
Escaped.


Henry Johnson, who lives on the
bank of a bayou off the st. Johns river.
three miles below Georgetown, Fla.
has two pretty little daughters, aged
and IL years. Each day the children
take their pet poodle, Fido, down to
the bayou to wash him. Generally they
get into their fathers boat, push out
short distance from the shore, tie a
short rope to the dog, the other end be-
ing fastened to the boat, and throw him
overheard
MIR. Johnson has warned the girls
several times against an old alligator
who lives in the bayou, but as the sau-
rian had not shown himself for several
weeks the children became careless.
Recently the father heard shrieks from
the water. Snatching his rifle, he rush
ed to the bank, only to see the rowboat
with his daughters aboard proceeding
rapidly toward the river. Close scruti-
ny showed a big alligator in front of
the boat and the line leading from his
mouth TO it.
Johnson began firing at the reptile.
and neighbors, hearing the shots, came
out and joined in the fusillade.
Johnson jumped into a sailboat and
started i'll pursuit, but the alligator
proved to be speedy, and as the wind
was not very high he easily kept ahead
of the sailboat. He circled around the
bayou, which is several miles wide,
avoiding the banks where the men were
standing.
For half an hour the chase continued
until Johnson got near enough to place
a bullet between the alligator's eyes. -

Color blindness.

The term color blindness implies an
entire absence of the color sense, ard
there are a few persons who are In t
condition, but it also includes all the
forms of partial color blindness IN
which the perception of one of the
Fundamental colors - red, green and
violet-is wanting, and which are
known as red blindness, green blind
ness and violet blindness. The line be-
tween these various kinds of color blind
ness and a perfect perception of colors
is not sharply drawn. so that a large
number of persons have what is called
"a feeble color sense, which falls short
of actual color blindness. There is no
doubt that color blindness in its varl-
Gus forms is much more common than
is generally supposed, and it is moro
common among the imperfectly than
the we'll educated classes, and it is, Gu
riously enough, still more common
among Jews and Quakers, probably
from hereditary causes. 1t is ten times
more frequent among males than fe-
males i'll the general population, but
among Quakers it is nearly the same
in both sexes. In the general popula-
ton 4-l6 per cent, or about l male in
every 20, are color blind. New York

Trusting God.

To learn to leave things with God
and to do ones work as if God could be
trusted is to gain the repose and full
heartedness which permit one to pour
out his whole strength without anxiety,
worry or distraction. -Outloo,
