Jones, a naval constructor of note, and
Is designed to act as q torpedo guard
for the vessel below the surface of the
sea. 1t has met with such universal ia
vor among naval architects and marine
engineers that the government of Great
Britain Is seriously considering it's
adoption. The plan Of DR.. Jones is
simply to place a huge steel shield
along the hull of the battleship on both
sides. 1t will consist of a number of
large plates in juxtaposition, extending
from stem to stern, and from the keel
TO a point just above the water line.
The plates must fit exactly to the model
or h hull, SO as not to retard the
speed of the vessel when there is no
occasion to use them. The millions of
pounds sterling expended by the great
powers of the world on the offensive
and defensive merits of guns versus ar
NOR has brought them no nearer to a
solution as to the superiority in the one
case or the other than they were thirty
years ago, and for many years past
the idea of n ship destroying an
other by standing off and exchanging
shots from a distance has been recog-
niZed as an absolute impossibility.
Lord Armstrong, on this point, has well
stated that these stupendous warships
cannot be made invulnerable," and
that their cost Is 30 that no
country "a have a numerous navy Of
such vessels.

Blessing In Everything.

The beatitude of Christ shows that
the blessing of sorrow lies in the COM
fort. A large portion of the Bible Is
comfort which can become ours only
through sorrow. We can say, blessed
is night, for it reveals to US the stars"
In the same way we a say, blessed
is sorrow, forit reveals Gods comfort"
The floods washed away home and
mill-all the poor man had in the
world. But as he stood on the scene
of his loss, after the water had SUBJ
sided, broken-hearted and discouraged,
he saw something shining in the bank
which the waters had washed bare. ut
looks like gold" he said. 1t was gold.
The flood which had beggared him
made him rich. So it is oftentimes in
life. Sorrow strips off the love of God.
We are sure, at least, that every sorrow
that comes brings to us a gift from
God, a blessing which may be ours if
we accept it. n Il n Clouds gather
in the sky with ominous threatening,
but they pass and leave theirrich treas
ure of rain. Then the flowers are
more fragrant, the grass is greener,
and all living things are lovelier. Sor-
row comes. There is agony in the
heart. There is Grape on the door.
There is a new grave in Gods acre.
But all hearts are softer. Love is ten
derer. Prayers are more fervent.
There is more of Heaven in the house
hold life. The cloud has left lis treas
ures of rain. blessed are they that
mourn for they shall be comforted."

The Sources OF q Dinner.

We wonder if any of u little
friends have ever thought how much
money capital and the work of how
men Is employed in securing the ma
terials for the simplest dinner to which
they sit down.
Suppose you trace each dish,-in
what country it was produced, through
what process of manufacture it has
passed, and over what routes of travel
it has come and to this, not merely
for the substantials, but for the con-
dement's of all kinds, also for the tea.
coffee and canned goods, and for the
table linen, table ware, etc. Follow
them all from their original source to
their place on the table.
You will be surprised at the enor'
nous wealth represented in factories,
railroads, etc., upon which you draw
at every meal, and at the close inter
relation of all people upon the globe.

A Plea For a Dull Pulpit.

Attractiveness Is not the of
usefulness. A pastor cannot hope
to do a great deal of good unless he
attracts people to his church, but the
fact that he is attracting people to his
church does not prove that he is doing
a great deal of good. And yet the
tempter seldom makes a more success
full visit to a pastors study than when
be goes to suggest that a little more
spice or shortening in the next sermon
will help to fill the galleries, and that
full galleries will give the preacher
greater opportunities for usefulness.
Jesus never laid any stress on crowds
except by trying to avoid them, and
his most successful ministers have sell
dom regarded crowded galleries worth
straining after. We have seldom
knowna successful, soulwinning pastor
of long experience who did not dread
the Sunday night overflow in revival.
Too much sobby driftwood will put out
the best of fires.

A Chance For Sunday School Teach
ers to Air Their Knowledge.

Let one who has tried for years to
learn how to make children understand
the precious truths of the Bible suggest
to others the necessity for explaining
even familiar words in the Sunday
school lessons. In a class of sixteen
boys and girls, from six to ten years of
age, the definitions given to ''strive to
enter in," she that is faithful" and
''fared sumptuously," were SO very ab-
sured that the teacher could with diff
Guilty restrain the amusement they
called forth. The best definition given
to ''fared sumptously" was "had q
fine house to live in"
The Sunday-school lessons and songs
unmeaning repetition of words to most
of the children, even those from intel
ligent families. A little girl who at
tended a Sunday-school in the vicinity
of the writer asked her mother, upon
her return from church, do you think
it is nice to sing about bed-clothes at
Sunday-school?" "Of course not.
"Why do you ask such a question ?"
Because, mother, they sang about
bringing in the sheets [sheaves] this
evening, and I thought if the teachers
could sing about sheets I could too, so
I sang as loud as any of the rest"
After the close of a Sunday-school in
a Kentucky town not far distant, a
mother asked a bright little girl what
sort of school they had.
ooh We have a splendid school, ex-
cept that Jesus was not there"
Jesus not there? How do you know
that dear ?n
because he was out calling. and, of
course, he was not there"
What makes you think he was out
calling"
Because they sang it over and over
Jesus is calling, is calling to day."
Would it not be we'll for the superin-
tendent 10 read the hymns aloud, aud
explain them in language simple
enough for undeveloped minds to
understand.

In case of fainting place the body
in a horizontal position, with the head
low sprinkle cold water On face, neck
and chest loosen the clothing, and ex-
pose the patient to fresh air. Camphor
or ammonia applied to the nostrils will
also prove eficacious, though the lat
ter must be used with caution.
Broken limbs should be placed in
natural positions, and the patient kept
quiet until the arrival of the physi-
clan.
Cramps in the stomach usually yield
to q teaspoonful of ginger, stirred in q
half glass of hot water, in which a half
teaspoonful,of soda has been dissolved.
Nervous spasms are usually con-
trolled by a little salt taken into the
mouth and allowed to dissolve.
A patient suffering from sunstroke
should be carried into a cool room, and
cloths wrung out of cold or ice water
applied te the head. These should be
large enough TO envelop the whole

with pounded ice and placed on the

For poison by poison oak or ivy,
take q handful of quicklime, dissolve

Keep the Heart Pure and Sweet.

A single bitter word may disquiet an

glance casts a gloom over the house

sunshine, may light up the darkest and

full of freshness, fragrance and beauty,
80 kind words and gentle acts and
sweet dispositions make glad the sacred
spot called home. No matter how
humble the abode, if it be sweetened

will turn lovingly towards it from all

it be vel so homely, will be the dear

The World Knows Little OF the Truly
Great.

Talk about heroes! The conquer
ors of worlds, whose deeds recorded in
history and commemorated in bronze
and marble, and whose names will live
throughout all generations" are no
o worthy of praise and remem-
brance than the heroes of the cross
who fought to bring the worldto Christ.

Millions sleep in unknown graves ;

Activity Better Than Idleness.

The law "In the sweat Of thy face
thou shalt eat bread" is not altogether
o curse. With our fallen, sinful, rest
less nature enforced toll is better than
the privilege of spending u time in
idieness. The latter would increase
our discomfort and be a fruitful source
of misery to ourselves and others. We
feel this constant, unremitting toll to
be a hardship and we envy men OF
leisure, but those who can and do
spend their time in seeking pleasure
have less real happiness than those
who are compelled to work. 1t may
be considered drudgery to have to Ia
Dor day in and day out for bread for
ourselves and families, but it is far
more noble than to lounge around
trying to satisfy a restless longing for
rest or to be a slave to a morbid crav-
ing for pleasure.

Time is the stuff life is made of,
says Benjamin Franklin. Every man
has exactly the same amount Of it in a
year. One improves it and reaps great
results Another wastes it and reaps
luckily the second, unfortunate. The
unfortunates form the mass of mall
kind, it should be noted.
To use time Alright, have a system.
Shape everything to it. Divide the
twenty-four hours between work, re-
creation, sleep, and mental culture,
according to a scheme that suits your
Judgment and circumstances. Then
make things 60 that way. The
scheme will quickly 60 to pieces unless
backed by persistent purpose.
When you work, work. Put the
whole mind and heart in it. Know
nothing else. Do everything the very
best. Distance everybody about you.
This will not be hard, for the other
fellows are not trying much. Master
details and difficulties. Be always
ready for the next step up. IF book
keeper, be an expert. If a machinist
knows more than the boss. Ifan office
boy. surprise the employer by model
work. If in school, 60 to the head
and stay there. All this Is easy when
the habit of conquering takes pos
session. It is wholesome in this con-
nection to read what men have &C
complished who have once learned the
art of redeeming the time. Study the
causes of the success of Benjamin
Franklin, of Lincoln, of Garfield, of
Sir Michael Farady, of Agassiz, of
Edison. Learn the might of minutes.
Every day is a little life, and our
whole life is day repeated. Those
that dare lose a day are dangerously
prodigal those that dare misspend it,
Desperate" Emerson says 1.-THE crea-
ton of q thousand forests Is in one
acorn"
Sound and wholesome recreation is
important in our scheme; but in this
age of athletic frenzy the danger of
neglect on that line is not excessive.
The real fact is that athletic sports
are educating the muscles too often at
the expense of the brains.
1t is the mind work that ~differentiates
you from the herd. Mental culture
calls for study carefully planned, reg
ular, persistent. One or two hours
a day, aiming at some distinct object,
mastering what you learn, adding little
by little, like a inter to his store, will
in a few years make of you a broad,
educated man, no matter what your
schooling.
To abuse time, have no system.
Chance everything. Do your work
indifferently. Growl if too much is
asked. Hunt for an easy job. Change
often. Dodge obstacles. Always come
a little short Of the standard. Fritter
away in silly thing the few golden
moments left for self-culture. Then
you win not crowd anybody very hard
in the contest for leadership.
Time abused is bad luck.

Truthful Tommy.

eff you won't whistle again for two
days Tommy, I'll give you ten cents"
said grandma.
"Well, I don't, granny" said Tom
my, glad to earn ten cents, for he had
been saving his pennies and putting
them in his little bank, and papa had
told him that when he had SIS they
would take the money into the savings
bank, and have q book made out in
Tommy's name.
The thought of this made Tommy
feel that he was soon to become a very
important that q very rich man. He
was quite proud, too, that he had earn
ed most of his money !; he had done
errands and picked berries, sometimes
mamma had paid him for ways in
which he had helped her.
Only that morning he had counted
up his cash and found that he bad
$3.50 and ten cents o would be
quite a help. And what an easy way
to:earn it-just to keep from whistl-
ing!
All day Tommy played around the
house, and grandma wasn'tannoyed by
a single whistle, but the next day he
vas away most of time, playing with
a neighbours little boy.
On the morning of the third day
grandma said: "Well, Tommy, 1
haven't heard any whlstling for two
days. 1 suppose you are ready for your
ten cents"
mo, granny; I've whistled," an
swered Tommy. II didn't the first
day. but the next day when I was up
to Charities, I forgot and whistled:
He told me not to tell you, and said
you'd never know it, but I told him I
should tell $50, granny, l can't have
the ten cents"
"No you haven't earned the ten
cents, Tommy" said grandma, "but
IN so proud Of having such a truthful
grandson that I'm going to give you
the ten cents just the same"

A Precious Memory.

II is an old admonition, but it can
not be too frequently repeated: DO
YOUR best at home IN dress, manners
and spirit. Life is too short to waste
its holy hours In criticism, fault-finding
and unkind words and acts. Only a
few brief years do family circles remain
unbroken by the invasion of marriages,
removals or death and, if our retro
spect of the time spent together is to
be a precious memory, let its hours be
filled with all that is loving and gener-
Gus and noble.

The Divine Blessing TO be Sought.

Divine power is not exercised to do
that for which human power is sufti-
Gent. Gods blessing on the field does
not do away with the necessity of tilling
the soil. 1t is the dilligent man, not
the slothful, who received the blessing.
His blessing on the Church does not
take the place of earnest, faithful work
on the part of His people. 1t is when
they do the work given them so that
He sends forth His power and causes
the work to prosper. The divine bless
ing resting on the worldly, idle church
would be as hard to find as a good har-
vest in a field unploughed and unplant-
ed.
