Personal work is difficult to most
Young Christians. Skill in approaching
others is rarely natural gift, but must
be acquired through much practice and
often through humiliating failures and
rebuffs. Efficiency in helping others in
spiritual difficulties does not grow spon
taneously. 1t comes in most cases, if it
comes at all, after passing through
trials in ones own experience and learn
ing in the school of pain how to bind
up wounds and cure hurts. Philip came
to the great work Of his life after years
of preparation. Be patient and do the
duty that lies at hand thoroughly, and
when God needs messenger for spe-
cial mission He will know where to find
one prepared.
Philips instant obedience to the
prompting of the Spirit is not the least
noticeable of his characteristics. The
a1acrity with which one obeys the i'm
pressions Of duty is a clear index of the
depth and genuineness of his devotion

THE OLD ROOM. BRISTOL. ENGLAND.

THE OLD ROOM. BRISTOL, ENGLAND.
Of England. In this room Francis AS
bury offered himself for the work in
America in response to the request Of
Wesley for volunteers. In this same
building, in the room above, DR.. Coke
was set apart by Wesley as superintend-
ent and sent to America to establish
the Methodist Episcopal church in 1854.
The building is now owned and occu
pied by the Welsh Calvinistic Metho-
dists. Ebenezer chapel, belonging to
the Wesleyans, is just in front of this
old room on King street. 1t was built
after the death of Wesley, when the
trustees of the old room refused to al
low Henry Moore to administer the
Lords Supper in that place, though he
had been ordained by Wesley with spe-
cial purpose to meet the exigency which
would be caused by the death of the
founder of the societies.

HEALTH HINTS.
The Blood MISUNDERSTANDING Food and
Drink. -.


Drink.
A IS respects the causes of poor circula-
ton, says writer in The Housewife, it
is convenient. to put to one side those
due to defects of the heart, since they
need attention by a competent physi-
clan. We will merely call attention to
the emphasis which any physician deal
ing with cardiac troubles lays Oh tho
general conduct, diet, exercise and hab-
its Of his patient, since the heart and
the capillaries must always work to-
gether in effecting circulation, and it is
good diet, air and exercise that best
keep the capillaries in good order.
When the blood is imperfectly aerated
at its two breathing places (skin and
lungs, it is found to produce that spas
modic closure of many capillaries which
causes deficient circulation. If the blood
is poor in quality or is loaded with mat
ters retained through neglect of regu-
lar emptying Of the bowels, very marked
impairment Of circulation is observable.
This is a common condition in girls in
their teens. Here preparations Of iron
injure digestion and add to constipation.
Plenty of boiled spinach (itself very rich
in iron in really diges,ible forn) is here
to be preferred, as it tends to open the
bowels. But all agencies for the relief
Of anamia are in order, especially estab
lished outdoor life and good diet.
But of all the causes that commonly
lead to closed capillaries and that
clogged feeling" in head, nose, muscles
and generally the chiefest one is over
eating. It is not necessary that any in
digestion should be manifest The writer
himself once suffered thus for several
months at good hotel in the Catskills,
in perfect fall weather, on abundant ex-
ercise, careful bathing, leisure and too
many table privileges, although no sup
per was taken. Whatever becomes of
the surplus food in these cases, whether
fat is formed or not, there is no hope
of the entire capillary circulation, which
alone can give the complete energy and
sense of well being. Spiced articles,
short pastry and whatever foods produce
indigestion (and cornbread and graham
in more than minute amounts do that
for some) have a peculiarly injurious
effect on the capillary circulation. So
do excessive amounts of meats for most.
Sugar when not digested floats in the
blood as an irritant till the kidneys can
throw it out and meanwhile ofends the
capillaries. All the alcoholics paralyze
the capiIlaries and at first cause undue
flushing, but at severe expense In the
end. Tea and coffee disorder circulation
by disturbing the spinal center. In city
life, with it's too constant excitements
and stimulations of all sorts, nervous
and otherwise, a fatty degeneration OF
the smaller blood vessels often takes
place along i'll the forties and at once
relegates the sufferer permanently to
enfeeblement and a species of agedness.
This is commonly the real explanation
of state which they themselves can
only describe as one of "being no longe,
young.

League Topics.

1t will be noticed that the League
topics for the present year are of a more
strictly practical and devotional char
acter than for some time past. This is
movement in the right direction. Ear
nest, aggressive piety is the need of our
young people The place to develop this
is in the devotional meeting.
A joint committee of the Epworth
League and Christian Endeavor is to
arrange uniform topics for the devo-
tional meetings. This will be a long
step toward substantial unity. The
Sunday schools of the evangelical
churches study the Same lessons. Why
should not all the Young Peoples socie-
ties unite also i'll studying the same
topics?

Army Surgeon Says Spaniards Did Not
Mutilate Our Dead.
New York, June 16.-A Camp McCalla,
Cuba, cable says: The story of the mu-
tilation Of the bodies Of two young pri-
Yates Of Captain Spicer's company Of
marines is now found to be entirely I'M
true. The officers and men of the party
which recovered the bodies were mis-
led by the frightful tearing effects of
the Mauser bullets when DETECTED by
anything like brushwood or from close
range. The men had apparently been
fired on by guerrillas at distance of
fifteen feet. One body had eight bullet
wounds, causing dreadful havoc.
Surgeon Edgar states positively that
the wounds were due to bullets only.
The body Of Sergeant Smith had been
lying within the enemy's lines nearly
two days, and consequently any multi
alton by the Spaniards could easily
have been accomplished The body,
however was found Invested only Of
the rifle and accoutrements. There
were no barbarities whatever.
