The Antiquity of the Thimble.

Somebody wrote: "To the Dutch the
ladies of all nations arc indebted for the in
yention of the thimble. The Dutch
achieved this great invention about the
year 1890"
How can this stupid error have arisenY
The thimble is probably prehistoric. Thin
bles in some form or other must have been
used by the women who executed the rich
embroideries of the medieval time. The
late Professor j. Il. Thorold Rogers, in his
History of Agriculture and Prices In Eng
land" mentions, under the year 1894 one
dozen thimbles which cost shillings.
What is, however, more to the purpose,
they arc frequently alluded to by our old
dramatists. Here are two examples from
the greatest of them.
In "The Tanning of the Shrew" Grumio
says
II commanded the sleeves should be
cut out and sewed up again, and that III
prove upon thee, though thy little finger
be armed in a thimble. Nv, 3, l49.
In the early days of the civil war between
Charles l and the parliament, when the
citizens of London were called on to send
IN their plate to be coined into money, the
royalist testers made fun of the puritan
DANES who were said to have given even
their silver thimbles to the cause.-Notes

Shirt Waists.

The food of shirt waists which mas
anpeared in the stores is pretty POSI-
tive proof of their continued popularity.
They are made of lawn, gingham, linen,
organdie batiste and silk, in plaids ana
stripes and all over conventional designs
in every color known, and, while the
manner of making them varies little
with the use of many tucks, the mann
features are the samoa pointed yoke IN
the back and box plat in front, with
the fullness on either side. White SILK
lowered in color makes a lovely shirt

A MARKET DAY.

Twas market day in Dublin town,
And the boys and girls were going down
WIN their wares 10 sell-fine ducks and geese,
Lambs and mutton without their fleece,
Unions, cabbages, beets, what not,
Culled from many a garden spot,
And there, ON top of her market cart,
sat Maggie Moran, the pride Of my heart.
says TO her, at is time, | guess,
1hat you were buying your wedding dress,
FOR my heart you are using rather rough
Ana have kept on a string quite long
enough.
enc laughed and, shaking her frowsy head.
u m not quite ready 10 marry" she said,
And If you're in haste the better plan
Is TO turn your back on Maggie Moran"
Maggie Moran is the girl I'll wed,
And nobody else in this world" said.
And jumped in her cart as she turned about
And held her fast so she wouldn't fall out,
For she drove us home at u rafting pace,
With roguish smile on her blushing face,
And the nimble pony soon set US down
Far and away from Dublin town.
Said Maggies mother, "My girl, what luck
Dld you have in selling your garden truck?"
And Maggie said, with a hearty laugh,
On, the very next morn we both went down
To the parish priest in Dublin town,
And he made us one with little delay,
And it's out Of the market we are today

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
Topic For the Week Beginning Aug. a.

Topic For the Week Beginning Aug. ~.
Comment by Rev. ;. IL. Doyle.
TopIc.-Have we the spirit of Christ from
viii, lis.
The Esprit of Christ" in this pas
sage of Scripture does not mean the
xind or disposition of Christ. The ex-
preston clearly means the actual in
dwelling of Christ in the heart of the
believer in the person of the Holy
Ghost We have also used here the ex-
preston the spirit of God" This is
identical with the esprit Of Christ T"
Both expressions are identical, and both
designate the Holy Ghost, the adora.
bic third person of the Trinity There
is no improperly in interchanging
these expressions. They are the three
persons Of the same Godhead, and
where the Father is there the Son is,
and where the Son is there the Holy
Ghost is.
The Spirit of God is everywhere, yet
He is said to dwell wherever He special
ly manifests Himself. He dwells in
heaven. He used TO dwell in the tenn
pie. He now dwells in the church and
in each individual believer whose body
is temple Of the Holy Ghost.
Whether the Spirit of Christ dwells
in us or not is very important ques-
ton. Upon the answer to this question
depends the validity of our claim to
Christianity. 1t is the supreme test of
true and genuine discipleship "If any
man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is
none of His" How may we know
whether we have the Spirit of Christ?
The first test is the character of life that
is in u.s. If Christ be in us, we are spirit
ually minded and our lives are charac.
terized by deep spirituality. If Christ
be not in US, we love and worship the
world and the things of the world. ''If
Christ be in you, the body is dead be-
cause of sin, but the Spirit is life be-
cause of righteousness. Our inward
and outward lives will tell us very
readily whether or not Christ dwells III
us. A second test of the indwelling OF
Christ is fruitbearing. If Christ is III
us, we will bring forth fruit to the hon
or and glory of God. HE that abidetl
in Me-" says Christ, land i'll him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit .
And again, Herein is my Father glo'
rifed that He bear much fruit. So shall
ye be My disciples. And again, "By
their fruits shall ye know them. BY
our lives and by our fruit we cannot
but tell if Christ dwell in us. If MOI
both by faith and prayer, we should
seek for the outpouring of the Spirit
! upon us. We should cleanse ourselves
from all sin, empty the heart and life
of self and the world, so that Christ car
come in and dwell with us, and if Ht
dwell with us here, we snail dwell witt
Him hereafter. "Behold l stand at thu
door and knock, and if any man viii
hear My voice and open unto Me vii
come in and sup with him and he will
Me-"

What m Christian Is.

To be Christian means to possess and
to be possessed by the spirit OF Jesus,
and there are many who have this spir-
it who never make any conventional
profession of it, but who by the Christ
likeness of their lives indicate its pres
ence and its power. They may be pro-
foundly ignorant Of the complexities OF
theology, may even deny the details OF
many of the doctrines of the church and
modestly hesitate to define the nature
of God and Christ, yet by the honesty,
sweetness, gentleness, purity and trust,
fulness of their lives reveal the gracious
power that animates them. Such are
Christians and should be welcomed Ill

COALlNG A BIG SHIP.
Crude Methods Employed Which Maize 1t
Slow and Expensive Job.

All the ships Of the transatlantic lines
are coaled by practically the same crude
method. Barges of about 800 tons ca
pacity are brought alongside of the ship.
booms are rugged, and, by tackle control
led by donkey engine, steel buckets are
lowered to the barge, filled by four nen
with shovels and hoisted TO q projecting
platform, where two men dump the bucket
md shovel the coal into the portfolio. 1t
Is then taken by other men and slowed
away In the ships bunkers Five ard u
half of these bucket loads equal u ton, and
tally by count of the buckets is the only
record to show how much coal the stesme.
has taken aboard.
In coaling the steamship st. Paul OF the
American line As men are employed inside
tho ship. The average amount of coal
bunkered is 5000 tons. The time required
to unload and stow is about 40 hours, and
the total average cost Of the work is 81, 600.
These figures, varying only with the coal
consumption of the ship, will apply to the
vessels Of other transatlantic lines.
Effort to reduce this expense has been
productive of many ingenious mechanical
devices, and the inquiry is often raised
why none of these is in general use The
resentative of one of the transatlantic
lines, 1--WE have had many offers to deliver
coal to our steamers at the rate of any
where from 90 to 500 tons per hour, but
what is the use when we cannot take care
of it inside any faster than we do now?"
In modern ship fuel must be stored
wherever room can be found that is not
required or available for other purposes.
Coal cannot be received on board faster
than it can be stored away in the bunkers,
which, in the case of modern liner, is at
the rate of about "a tons per man pei
hour
More primitive methods prevail in ports
of less Importance than those ut either end
of the Atlantic lines. In the West Indies
coaling is almost exclusively done by negro
women, who pour in a ceaseless stream
over the gangplanks, each carrying about
100 pounds of coal in u basket poised on
| her head.
In Mediterranean ports the work is done
by men instead of women, but for the
| most part with the same primitive nipple
ments, shovel and Baskets. Howard
