A barrel OF money had been reaped
at the Windsor hazar in aid of the
Royal Albert institution, opened by
Princess Christian on Tuesday last.
The Princess presided at two stalls,
selling photographs of Queen Victoria,
signd by Her Majesty, at guinea each.

minutes. Thereupon the Princess re-
marked: Il do not see why we should
not petition mamma for some more"
A messenger was then dispatched to
the castle and the Queen supplied more
signed photographs of herself. Her
Majesty continued doing so during the
three days which the bazaar lasted and
even then the demand for her photo
graphs was not satisfied.

We present ourselves to thee today. our
Father. Prepare us for what thou seest to
be waiting for us in the valley of the
day, now yelled in mist. Let not
sin have dominion over us. If tempta-
tion assails. may 1t find no foothold in our
hearts; IL we pass through scenes where the
infection of evil is strong, may we not be
susceptible to it; il we are strongly pro-
voked, may we not yield. II thou goest not
with us carry us not up hence. Apart from
thee we can do nothing. Be nearer to us
than our dearest friend; be closer to us than
the most insidious craft Of the enemy. May
we put on the Lord Jesus, so that he shall
be the vesture of our souls. Be with us
as our shepherd. keeping us; as our cap
tain. leading us; as our friend, warning and
helping us. Let the secret place OF the
Most High be our home and the shadow OF
the Almighty our abiding place. Do more
than so with us, dwell in US, walk in us
possess us, use us. When we are most
absorbed in our necessary business, may thy
presence not withdraw itself, but be pcrma
nent and abiding. Amen.

Husband and Wife for Eighty Seven Years

Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Hitler, who
live near La Grange, Ind, have just
completed eighty-seven years of mar
ried life, and both bid fair to live few
years longer. Mr.. Hitler is now 107
years old and his wife 105, and the
little frame cottage they occupy has
been their home for nearly eighty-five
years. This house consists of one
room, and this room contains all the
aged couples earthly possessions.
Mr.. Hitler is vigorous looking man
for his extreme old age. His hand is
as strong and his step as firm as those
of man of forty. His eyes are bright,
and his long hair falls in unmixed
whiteness almost to his shoulders.
His wife has long since passed under
the spell of old age. She is bent al
most double with the weight of her
years and is totally blind. 'It's a
caution" says Mr.. Hitler, speaking of
his age. 81 never counted on living
so long or anything like it," He tells
how he was born in jamestown, near
Kingston, Canada. He was twenty
two years old when the war of 1912
came along, and he describes Canada
as very wild country in those years.
The first year of the war he and his
wife left Canada and settled near
Marine City, and went from there to
Eminent, whence they came to their
present home. They were married
when Mr.. Hitler was twenty and his
wife eighteen. With his old age have
come symptoms of a second childhood,
the most amusing and amazing of
which is the cutting of two teeth lately.
The old couple have eleven children,
the oldest eighty-two and the youngest
eyen.-Chicago Times Herald.

which is ivy-covered, rs II long closed. He
is girt with the priestly breastplate. He
bears in His hand the lamp OF truth. He

and He still stands and knocks. His eye
tells OF love; His face beams with yearning
You look closely and you perceive that there
is no knob or latch on the outside Of the
door. 1t can be opened only from within:
Do you not see the meaning! The Spirit oil
God comes to your hearts door and knocks
He stands there while storms gather and
break upon His unsheltered head, while the
sun declines and night comes on with Its
chils and its heavy dews. He waits and
knocks. but you must open the door your
self. The only latch is inside.-J. II. Miller,

Vaccination against typhoid fever
seems to be an assured resource in the
war on disease. Two professors con.
nected with the Army Medical school
at Netley, England, have elaborated a
process of antityphoid vaccination.
Cultures Of the bacilli are used in the
process. Observations were made
upon number of persons, mostly
medical men, with satisfactory results.
A medical journal says the vaccina.
tions can be practiced without risk,
and their adequacy, also, can be easily
controlled by examinations of the
blood. Persons exposed to the risk
of TYPHOID infection may secure immu-
nifty, through this process, if the pres,
ent degree of success is maintained.

rrnn.muted Through surrender.

Ifyou enter the Turner Gallery OF Art In
London, you are at once arrested by the
flaming pictures OF unrivaled magniflcence.
You have sunrises that come blushing DER
the DEMONSTRATING morn and sunsets that
seem to open the very gateways OF glory
suns in their meridian splendor. suns
shining through the rifted clouds, giving
exquisite shadows, turning the water into
silvery sheen and clothing the heathery hill
sides In purple robes. II you examine what
gives brilliance to those pictures-jewels and
all precious stones think you? Nothing OF
the kind The genius Of Turner took the
worthless metallic oxides and pigments
which were pulverized, cleansed aud assimi
lated-sacrificed, II you please-and then
handled to incarnate on the canvas the ideal
creations Of his mind and now the worthless
pigments are transmitted into value which
the wealth of Vanderbilt could not pur-
chase from the nation. How fine is the
analogy here! IL the surrender Of these
worthless pigments to the hands Of Turner
lifts them TO such peerless value, making
them the ministers of beauty through the
ages. the surrender Of any soul to God gives
the services OF that soul an inconceivable
preciousness. .-George Douglas, ID. D., in
"The Sacrifice OF Service"

The Tide of Gods Grace.

saw vessel which the waves did spare,
Lie sadly stranded on u sandy beach,
Beyond the tides kind reach:
Within its murmur OF lamenting speech
Long she lay there;
Until at length
mighty sea arose In all its strength,
And launched her lovingly.
And thus, alas! our race
Lay stranded on the beach OF human sin
And misery,
Beyond all help, until Gods gracious grace,
A mighty tide,
All crimson dyed,
Swept grandly In,
And set US free. Anon.

Scarcity OF Rubber.

Owing largely to the use Of india
rubber for, bicycle tires, the demand
for the product has increased so
enormously that there is great risk Of
the supply failing if the natural produc-
tion upon which we now depend is not
supplemented by the artificial cultiva-
ton of the trees which yield the ma
terial. A company has recently been
formed for the purpose Of developing
plantations Of rubber'bearing trees in

On railroad siding four miles
above Hollidaysburg, Penn, stand
thirty-two Pullman palace cars, closely
guarded day and night by watchmen
whose only duty it is to see that no
one interferes with the process Of de.
cay and despoliation which the ele.
ments have inaugurated. The cars
are the property of the Pennsylvania
railroad company, and represent an
outlay Of $40O, 900. These handsome
coaches have been dragged through
the slow and tortuous processes Of liti-
cation for over five years. Both the
railroad and the Pullman company
have claims on the cars, and until a
final decision is rendered in the courts
these magnificent vehicles of travel by
rail are left to rot and crumble in the
open air, exposed to all kinds Of
weather, and will soon be unfit for any
use except kindling wood and old
scrap iron. ll.oI Fyrtt

1t is vital Christianity when the believer
can say, II live, yet not l, but Christ liveth
in me-" This is not a shadow which we
pursue, nor dream of the night. Tho
union Of sunlight with flower, OF heat with
fire, Of life with the body is not more real.
There Is a life which is hid with Christ In
God for sinful, helpless men and women
not fancy OF the mystic in his solitude, not
n prize for him who has leisure and learn
ing, but reality for all believers amid their
temptations, troubles. duties, cares. Man
has a body; he is spirit. Spiritually he
may be joined with Christ and become son
OF God. But this union does not destroy
personality. 1t Is. however vital-the life
OF Christ within the believer as distinguished
from external influence or assistance--so
that the apostle says. He that hath the Son
hath life." 1t is inscrutable though not
unintelligible. We cannot fully comprehend
1t. but may know it by experience. 1t is
increasingly revealed to every faithful dis
ciple. "Of His fuilness have all we re-
ceived, and grace for grace. Rev. Herbert
