SORROW HAS ITS BRIGHT SIDE.

1t is difficult sometimes to see the bright
side Of sorrow, sickness and death. And yet
there is distinctly bright side. No sor-
row comes to US without reason. We
never know our friends until sorrow or i'll
ness come to US. We never know what
loving kindness and thoughtfulness mean,
until we stand in need OF them, and our
hearts seem to beat against the walls OF
cold, merciless world. We learn something
from every grief and from each pain which
comes to US. -. That is why sorrow and
trials are given US; not to give pain,
but to develop US, to better equip
US for something unknown which lies
in the future, and which we could not
meet nor understand unless we had first
gone through certain experiences. We are
far too apt to regard actual blessings as
calamities, to look upon the dark side OF
things. Some sorrow comes to US and we
rebel. 1t never occurs to US that, perhaps,
we need the experience which sorrow alone
can give. Illness comes and we fret. But
we cannot always be well. Ailments are
very often given to US to make our apprecia-
tion of good health the keener. God
has an aim, a direct purpose, in every
thing He does. His blessings come
forms always such as we would like to
choose. Lessons can be more effectively
taught in innumerable cases through sor-
row than through pleasure. We should
never know what pure, beautiful color
white is If We did not have black to bring
out the contrast. We want only pleasure
in our lives. When sorrow comes we rebel,
and refuse to recognize it for what it SO
often is blessing in disguise. We cannot
always have it June. There must be March.
Yet March has its spring violets.-Edward
W. Box, in Ladies' Home Journal.

replacing the suet on top, and roast

AFLORAL FIREPLACE.

For a recent wedding the drawing.
room where the ceremony took place
had its own fireplace most tastefully
decorated with flowers. A framework
stood within the tiles, which had been
first covered with moss, which was
entirely concealed by the moss OF
golden rod pinned over it. This was
gold and white wedding, 30 the
colors were carried out here by CEN
ter of the screen of pale yellow silk
on which was fastened fatty half a
gilt basket filled with white thistles.
The great breakfast table had an oval
pond for centre piece, in which tiny
goldfish were swimming. There was
3 slender stand in the middle of this,
which held aloft large fat bouquet,
,arelessly arranged, of white orchids.
All about the border of the pond we're
feathery sprays of golden rod.

WHAT OPENED PATS EYES.

A coachman, fond OF strong drink, jre
piled to his masters warning that ne knew
when to stop and no ono should ever see him
drunk. Christmas came soon after and Paf
drank freely with some friends. At night he
was ordered by his employer to bring an Old
horse and buggy to the door. y
$50 and see what's the matter with Pat,
said the gentleman to his little son. II
ordered him to bring a buggy to the door
nearly half an hour ago."
"Ob, papa, come and see what Pat Is
doing!' said the lad few minutes later az
he rushed in almost bursting with laughter.
she wants you to come out" ~
Going to the coach house the owner saw
the coachman in great excitement trying to
force horse collar over the head and horns
of an old Jersey COW that stood quietly before
the buggy. The Irishman had already put
on some OF the harness and tried IN vain to
put the collar in place. Said he sthe owner
appeared: ,sss .. ,,.,o.. and n,
can't make the collar so over thin"
Don't try any more, but put her back IN
the stall, then 70 to bed yourself" " responded
the owner. When you can't tell the dtner-
ence between an old horse and a Jersey COW
you are too drunk 10 work
The next morning, sober and humble, Pat
begged mis- employers pardon AMI said that
he had taken too much Christmas the day
before. so did not know what he was about.
Then he added: -
"Whin mon don't know an old harse
from Jersey COW, then he don't know woln
he's got enough whuskey and It's tonne 1or
him to shtop That's what Oh name to do"
From that day, nearly tlve years ago, Fat
has let whisky and strong drink alone. He
Is now a faithful temperance man.

RELIGIOUS READING.
TEMPERED.

When stern occasion calls for war.
And the trumpets shrill and peal,
FORCES and armories ring all day
With the fierce clash Of steel.
The blades are heated in the flame,
And cooled in icy flood,
And beaten hard. and beaten well,
To make them firm and pliable.
Their edge and temper good:
Then tough and sharp with discipline,
They win the fight for fighting men.
When Gods occasions call for men,
His chosen souls he takes.
In life's hot fire he tempers them,
With tears he cools and slakes;
With many heavy. grievous stroke
He beats them to an edge,
And tests and tries again, again,
Till the hard will is fused, and pain
Becomes high privilege;
Then strong, and quickened through and
through,
They ready are his work to do.
Like an on-rushing. furious host
The tide of need and sin,
Unless the blades shall tempered be,
They have no chance to win;
God trusts to no untested sword
When be goes forth to war;
Only the souls that, beaten long
On pains great anvil have grown strong,
His chosen weapons are.
All souls, on pains great anvil laid,
Remember this, nor be afraid

WHERE AMERICANS CAME FROM.
Three Expeditions VIII Be Sent to tho
North Pacific Coast.

Morris K. Jessup, President OF the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History, New York
City, has provided funds which Will oe USED
by the anthropological department OF the
museum, under the direction OF +. w. Put-
nam. for systematic exploration OF the peo-
ples of the North Pacific coasts, between the
Amoor River, in Asia, and the Columbia, IN
America.
Three expeditions will be fitted out. whose
work. carried on in the State of Washington
and British Columbia, at Boring Straits
and along the Asiatic coast, will cover Pc
riod of six years. The first Of these parties
will leave for Washington and British Co.
lumbia toward the end OF May. 1t will con-
sst probably Of four men under DR.. Franz
Boas, assistant curator OF the museum, who
will have charge OF the archaeological In
vestigatlons.
The expeditions to Siberia and Alaska,
whose personnel Is not yet decided upon,
will probably start next fall and next spring
respectively. The chief object OF those e1-
peditions will be to investigate the origin
and early history Of the American race, and
to trace lis relations with tho races OF the
old world in the North. The relations be-
tween the American and Asiatic peoples
have been a much discussed problem, and 1t
Is proposed to 60 over the ground In more
thorough and systematic way than mas ever
been attempted before. This is to be done
before the completion of the Siberian rail-
way and other civiIizlng influences have de-
stroyed the primitive conditions now eXlst-
ent in Northern Asia.

INTERCESSII \.

"The Spirit himself maketh intercession
for US with groanings which cannot be ut
tered"
Hast thou n'er felt some sweet and sanity
spirit
Glide graciously into thy very own.
And soothe it's troubled fears and strongly
bear it
In PRAYER unto the Heavenly Fathers
throne?
Hast thou ne'er flung thee down to restless
slumber
Nor known some heart for thine did mean
while pray,
And all the cares that late did thee encum-
Der
Had vanished with the morning quite away?
Yea, have felt such holy benediction.
A childIike peace that words could not ex-
press,
And when / asked and learned it was no flc-
ton,
NV heart has overnowed with thankful
ness.
All. is it not most beautiful to bear
Another's soul to heaven thus in prayer?

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The sin that looks the safest is the
surest to kill.
It is more important to bear good
fruit than much fruit.
If the gossip would think more, her
| tongue\ would get more rest.
There is DO such thing as commit
ting one sin and stopping there.
The poorest man may give as much
as the richest, if he will give all he
| can.
A wooden bread plate will be re-
membered longer than souvenir tea
spoon.
If you would know what it means
to be rich, find out that it is blessed
to give.
The shiftless man is always away
from home when a good opportunity
knocks.
The man most in need of mercy, is
the one who will have no mercy on
himself.
Too many people are singing, "Scat-
ter sunshine" and "aiting for some
body else to do it.
A blind mans opinion of the sun is
based on what he has learned from the
earth with his cane.
To things which you bear with i'm
patience you should accustom your
self, and by habit you will bear them
we'll.
The reason why so few marriages
are happy, is because young ladies
spend their time in making nets, not
in making cages.
Character is measured by the dis.
tance travelled from the starting point,
and everything, depends upon whether
the progress has been up stream or
down.
A generous friendship no cold
medium knows, burns with one love,
with one resentment glows, one should
our interests and our passions be, my
friend must hate the man that Injuries
me.
Suffering is an accident. 1t does
not matter whether you and 1 suher.
"Not enjoyment and not sorrow" is
our life, not sorrow any more than en-
joyment, but obediences and duty.
If duty brings sorrow let it bring sor-
row.
Let US ever remember that he who
lives for self and self alone is failure,
whilst he who renders honest loving
service to his fellows, though he BIZ
poor and an outcast, unhonored and
unsung, is to all eternity noble sue
cess.
Some people scorn to be taught.
others are ashamed of it, az they would
be Of going to school when they are
old; but it is never too late to learn
what it is always necessary to know.
And it is no shame to learn so long rs
we are ignorant-tiiat is to say, so long
as we live.

TO MAKE GOOD SOUP.

The economical woman will educate
her family to like soup. 1t is an ex-
cellent appetizer, and it is also filling.
Then it helps to use up scraps and
left over meats in way that nothing
else will. A "stock pot" will be
necessity. A porcelain.lined or gran
ite ware will be the best. Mrs. Rorer,
the authority, says to make stock
twice week, Tuesday and Saturday
being the best days, when the stove Is
not for other things. Save all the
bones from steak, carcasses of turkey,
chicken, roasts and broils, and all the
juices on the plstters. Crack all the,
bones so that the marrow will be ex-
posed. Have an esrthen ware crock
to put them in if you keep them two
or three days and put them in cool
place. When ready to make the stock
put all the bones and Juice in the
stock pot and cover with cold water.
Let it come to boil and simmer for
three or four hours. Strain through
q colender and put away in crock to
cool. When cool lift of all the fat
and put in the dripping pan to Try
croquettes in. To make the soup lift
out of the stock pint or quart as you
NAV need, and when it is heased put
in the seasoning. One day 1t may be
the tomatoes left from breakfast, with
O little rice that was not eaten. An
other day it may be potato soup, with
somv cold boiled potatoes cut into
dice, and a cup OF milk thickened
with an egg added. Or it may be
celery soup, with the cup OF milk
thickened. with a tablespoonful of
-four, or bean soup, using the cupful
of beans left from dinner of the day
before. Crackers are not necessary,
as toasted bread is just as nice. Take
the stale bits OF bread, cut them to q
uniform size, never larger than half
an inch square, and toast them a nice
brown in the oven. Season the soup
very carefully, and you will be sur.
prised how much it adds to a simple
dinner to have a nice bowl OF soup to
begin on. Always turn the old liquid
into the simmering pot OF new
stock, and then it will never spoil.
The stock should be kept in cool
place and we'll covered. Washington

THE PROOF OF cHR1sT's BIRTH.

Jesus did not create goodness-her fair
form had been already carved in white mar
BILE by austere hands His Office was to place
a soul within the ribs of death till the cold
stone changed into living body. Before
Jesus, goodness was sterile; since Jesus,
dgoodness has blossomed; He fertilized It
with His spirit. 1t was theory, it became
a force. He took the corn, which had
been long stored in the granaries Of philos-
ophy, and sowed it in the soft spring
earth He minted the gold and made it cur
rent coin. Christianity is in religion what
steam is in mechanics-the power which
drives. Jesus wrote nothing, He said little,
but He did what He said and made others do
as He commanded. His religion began at
once to exist: from the beginning 1t was
life. 1t Is the distinction of Christianity
that it goes. This is why some Of US, In
spite of every intellectual difficulty, must
believe Jesus to be the Son OF GoC-He has
done what no other ever did and what only
God could do. He is God because He dis

hatred and contempt for others, that we
may receive thy Holy Spirit into our

of our Lord and Saviour. May He lead us
to the attainment of love. Joy, peace, long

will. We ask Thee blessings in the name

TEMPERANCE
PAPA. BE TRUE TO NE!

PAPA, BE True TO ME!
What makes me refuse social glass? Well,
III tell you the reason why:
Because bonuy, blue-eyed lass Is ever
standing by;
And I hear her, boys, above the noise OF the
Jest and the merry gee.
As with baby grace she kisses my face and
says, "Papa, be true to me-"
Then what can I do, to be true to my lass,
better than let It pass by.
I know you think my refusal to Drink
breach Of your courtesy; :,
For I hear her repeat In accents sweet, and
her dear little form see. /
As with loving embrace she kisses my lace

THE 1NTEMpERANcE OF COOKS.

It is a well-known fact that very large
number OF professional cooks, or cooks who
work in hotels and large boarding houses,
are addicted to the excessive use OF stimu-
lants. Some ascribe this to the high tenn
porature of the kitchen, and consequent ex'
haustion; others to the loss OF appetite pro-
duced by the constant sight and odor OF food.
1t is also said 10 be due TO tasting sauces that
are favored with spirits. Exhaustion and
lack of appetite are probably the most Ire
quent causes.
On the other hand, men who are employed
about the furnaces Ct iio works. the hremep
on railroads, and stoSers on steamboats,,
are not add cted to the use OF intoxicants;
they could not retain their places II they
were. Whatever tho reason for the intem-
perance OF cooks, it is generally understood
that 1t is physical one. In the interest OF
humanity, the question is: Is there not some
remedy?-New York Journal.

IIouoR TRAFFIC IN INDIANA.

In every township in Montgomery County,
Ind, has been organized law and order
league, the express purpose OF which Is to
regulate. if not entirely suppress the liquor
traffic. These several organizations are In
the hands Of the leading and most inhuen-
tial citizens, and are secret In their work,
only two or three persons OF each league
being publicly known. This secrecy as to
membership better enables the leagues to ac-
complsh their appointed work, and keeps
the liquor dealers guessing whom to 10 X
upon as enemies or rs friends. Already the
prosecutions have begun.--San Francisco
