Drink and the Labor Market.


Under this heading writer In the G. 7. =
Watchword makes the following effective
showing:
It has been stated that the CaIedoniah
Distillery, at Edinburgh, whose output Of
liquor is over E1 500, 900 (&7, $50 ,0O0) worth
per annum, only employs $50 men. Compare
this with the Atlas Iron Works at Sheffield,
whose turnover is about the same amount,
and where the humber of men employed Is
ever 5000. With the same turnover Of
money in the business in which the writer
Is engaged (stay-making), instead OF en-
ploying $50 we could actually ourselves
find employment for II, 900 people. But In
addition to this, In order to keep our oper-
means Of giving employment tn quite an
other 5000, for we should require Qn addi-
tion to boilers, engines, shafting, etc.), q
large number OF additional cutting ma
chimes, 200 pair Of shears annually, about
10000 sewing machines-which would re-
luire to be replaced every seven years
and between times we should require to
replace breakages and ordinary wear and
tear, which would be enormous. We should
also require ESQ, 900 needles every year, and
$50 900 pieces Of cloth would be wanted an
nually. At the very least 10000 gross Of
reels OF cotton COT 1000 yards each); 1000
tons of steel strips; 1000 tons Of twine, cane,
horn and whalebone; 10000 gross yards Of
lace, and twenty tons of silk would be
wanted, besides host Of other things. A
similar demand would ensue from many
other trades were this immense turnover
theirs. In this way all Industries would
reap the benefit. But what has the drink
trade to show as set-off against this large
employment OF labor2 Beyond few coop
ers, glassblowers. caskmakers, etc., abso-
lutely nothing.

The Humility Of True Faith.

Our experience may tell us that faith and
humility do not always go hand IN hand.
Faith Is sometimes looked upon as distinc-
tion which entities its possessor to take
liberties with God. No doubt our Lord, In
His loving condescensicn. does invite the
confidence and affection OF those who really
take Him at His word; but this Invitation
can never safely dispense with sense OF
our unworthiness. or Of the distance
that separates the Creator from the
creature. We sometimes hear language
about our Lord, prayers and hymns ad,
dressed to Him, which 40 doubt proceed
from an earnest faith In Him, or, at least. In
certain truths about Him, but which are
conspicuously wanting In reverence. When
the centurisn made up his mind to approach
on behalf Of his paralyzed servant, he was
30 conscious OF his unworthiness to venture
into such q presence that he applied, sc
Luke tells US, to the elders OF the syna-
pogue to intercede for him: when he
heard OF Jesus he sent unto him the elders
OF the Jews, beseeching him that He would
come and heal his servant. When our Lord
offered to come and heal the patient, the
centurion replied: "Lord, am not worthy
that thou shouldst come under my roof; but
speak the word only and my servant shall
be healed" True faith Is not 1nsensible to
the nearness and tehderness'of God. but 1t Is
also alive to His awful majesty; the true be-
lever sees God and himself In too clear
light to venture upon the familiarities which
are sometimes mistaken for faiths indispen-
sable accompaniment.

The material is dark red cloth. the
trimming bands of gray krimmer.
With the coat are worn leggings and a
Tam hat of the cloth. The fitting is
accomplished by shoulder seams and
under-arm cores. The fronts are each
cut in one piece, but the full skirt is
scanned to the back at the waist line.
The right-front laps we'll over the left

is invisibly effected by means of large
hooks sewed to the centre of the right
front and eyes to the edge Of the left.
The sleeves are one-seamed and are
finished with pointed cuffs banded
with krimmer. At the neck is a
straight standing collar and at the
waist is worn belt of the cloth edged
with fur and fastened with large
steel buckle. The coat is lined
throughout with taffeta showing q
bright plaid design.
To make this coat for child of SIX
years will require two and one-fourth
yards of fifty-four-iuch material.

Treatment of Hardy Plants.

Just at this season is the best pos
sible time for planting out all hardy
plants, shrubs and trees. Such plants
will not require protection, however.
until December in an ordinary season,
and will do better if allowed to be un'
protected until that time. Many
shrubs, trees and other hardy plants
can stand wonderful degree of cold.
yet the action of freezing and thawing
is fatal. For this reason very tender
shrubs should be planted on the north
side of the house, where they are not
so likely to winter-kill. It is the Gus
tom to burn leaves as soon as they
have fallen from the trees, but if they
are heaped in some out-of-the-way
corner and allowed to decay they will
contribute very valuable material
when the time comes for making up
the garden in the spring. Leaves are
also one of the finest of materials for
protecting beds of roses and other
small plants.-Woman's Home Com.

Unity In Christ.


Conceive to yourself large room In which
many persons are assembled OF different
ages, different ranks different degrees OF
intelligence and different opinions, all In
yited to meet great and famous poet Be-
fore the arrival Of the chief guest, there Is
general hum of conversation, coteries are
formed, and people who agree are heard
discussing the points Of their agreement,
while others who differ are heard In violent
alteration discussing the points OF their
difference. There is diversion, segrega-
ton, there is an atmosphere OF alienation
and hostility. At last the poet enters the
room. All eyes are Immediately turned to
him; all minds are occupied with the rec
objection of the golden words he has spoken,
and wondering what will next fall from his
lips; all ears are attent to hear. Or, con-
ceiye to yourself such an army as that which
Cesar commanded, In which all ths legions
are drawn from many different parts OF
Italy and Gaul, In which men belong to
many different factions, In which there are
rival pretors and centurions, each followed
by a band Of partisans; What holds TINS
army Of Caesar together? What makes 1t an
army, an instrument which dashes yictori-
ously against every force that is opposed to
It? There Is but one answer-it Is the pres
ence of the general. These men differ In nat
tionality, In opinion, in sentiment, but they
are all Cesarians to O. man. His
presence calls them all together, his eye
uuells all discomfort his words move them
as II they were single person to the onset
and to victory. In like way. we may say
that there Is only thing that visits, or ever
can visit Christendom, and that Is Christ:
n He Is ushered into our assemblies. all
wrangllngs cease, and all animosities die
away. We dare not be occupied with mu-
tual jealousies and idle discussions lest we
should miss the glance OF His eye. or word
directed to ourselves. If He is installed II
His place as the supreme recognized captain
OF His own host, then the army Is united and
eff1cient =. .

THE REALM OF FASHION.

The striking and stylish gown shown
in the illustration, writes May Manton,
is made of soft wool material, the de-
sign of which includes green, bright
shade of tan and lines of black. The
square yoke is of tan-colored silk and
tho trimming consists of fine black mo-
hair braid and ornamental buttons.
The blouse bodice is made over fitted
lining which includes the usual pieces
and seams, but shows single darts in
place of double, and which closes at
the centre-front. The blouse is fitted
BY shoulder and under-arm seams only.
The yoke portion is faced onto the
plaid at the line of perforations, the
joining being concealed by the trim
ming.
The closing is effected invisibly at
the left shoulder and down the left
side beneath the widest band OF braid.
The narrower bands and the fancy
strip are sewed to the left section OF
the blouse, so continuing the trim
ming in harmony with the yoke edges
and epaulettes. The sleeves are two
scanned and snug-itting close to the
shoulder where they are finished by
the small puffs that are marked fea-
ture OF the season. The oblong epau-
lettes give breadth to the figure and
add to the general stylish effect. The
neck is finished by straight. stand
ing collar above which rises frill OF
lace. At the waist is worn belt OF
tan-colored ribbon clasped with an or
namental buckle.
The skirt is five-gored and fitted
smoothly about the hips. The back
I is arranged in deep underlying plaits.
The trimming is carried down from
the blouse in a continuous line, so
producing the princess effect.

for Patient Endurance Thos VINO
Have Christ Are Rich.
As I wandered to the hilltop, all my heart
was sad with longing
For those who waited for me in the Home
land up On high, =,
And memories of happier days unto my mind
came thronging,
Till tears OF bitter sorrow dimmed the sun
light for my eye.
But the pine trees bending branches whis-
pered words of balm and blessing,
And the birds among the treetops with
gladstone voice did sing,
And the sunshine sitting through the leaves,
my tear-stained cheeks caressing,
A message from the heavens above unto
my soul did bring.
And the butterfly anear me spoke OF lie and
resurrection,
And with heart aglow with thankfulness
dried my tears at last,
For I felt sudden consciousness OF sure
and safe protection, -,
OF strength to meet the future, and OF
comfort for the past.
SO the earth seemed full OF sunshine. and
my arm was strong for duty,
And my feet keep happy measure as my
homeward path trod,
For the Lord hath sent His angel In the
woodlands wondrous beauty,
And the forest was foretaste OF the Para
disc of God.

A PRAYER for Patient Endurance.

o God, in whom alone our hearts are
satisfied, help US 30 to live that We may find
our rest in thee. Out OF our imperfection
bring to light the glorious perfection OF thy
grace. Pardon the sins Of thought which
we are slow to recognize and make US clean.
Guard our way upon the right hand and the
left that We may not be tempted above that
which We are able to endure. In all
simplicity of thought and outward order
Of holy life may we be faithful to the
trust committed to our care. In patient
endurance and purity OF heart, by ready
sympathy and devotion to the needs OF others,
help US to bear our faithful witness to the
risen and ascended Lord. In the hour OF
swift temptation hold US back from falling
into sin. In the day OF our inquietude be
thou our rest. and in the darkness OF our
restless ignorance make the shining OF tay
light appear And thine shall be the glory
evermore through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
