FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
Gods Thank You.

A kind act is never lost although the Cousin Jack or other person for whom we do it may not thank Us. The doer always receives . reward, as this little story illustrates.
 Little Jack was q 4.yea~-oid and | great pet of mine, with yellow curls and blue eyes, and he had sweet, affec- tionate little ways. One day his cousin, \ boy of l6, set Jack to work for him. He told him to pull up some weeds ill the field while he finished his story. Little Jack worked away until his fin. gers were sore and his face was very hot.
 l was working in my room when a very tired little boy came up to me "Why, Jackie. what have you been do- in9?" I asked
 The tears came into his eyes and his lips quivered and for n moment he did not speak Then be said: "Ive been kind to Cousin Jack. I worked dreifly hard for him, and he never said thank you to me. !"
 Poor little .Jaclliel l felt sorry for him. It was hard lines not to have a word of thanks after all his hard work But that night, when I had put him in his little cot, he said to me, Auntie, this morning I was sorry that pulled the weeds, but now Pm not sorry.
 '.How is that?" asked. tHas Cousin Jack thanked you?''
 ..No he hasn't, but inside mo I have a good feeling. It always comes when l have been kind to any one, and, do you know, I've found out what it is?'
 "What is it. darling?'' I asked.
 And throwing bis arms around my neck, he whispered, Its Gods thank you. '-Oar Gospel Letter

Good Manners.

These few remarks upon good man. ners will be indorsed by every boy and girl. Golden Days says:
 Good manners are among the greatest charms person can possess, and every body should cultivate them, especially young people. They are something money cannot purchase, for there is only one way of obtaining them, and that is by habitual practice.
 We know good mother who used to say:
 Always use good manners at home, and then when you go among strangers you need never be alarmed, for it will be perfectly natural to you to be polite and respectful.
 This is true, and we have always thought that the best and easiest way to do anything right was to get into the habit of doing it right.
 Hardly anything is of more eonse- quence than good manners and polite ness in boy or girl. They render those who possess them fayorites with their relatives and friends and prepossess strangers toward them. Politeness costs nothing and at the same time is of the greatest value.

Knormous T.iftInr Power.

The shelless limpet pulls l,984 times it's own weight when in the air and about double when measured in the wa ter. Pleas pull 1, 1,493 times their own dead weight The Mediterranean cookie, Venus yerrucosa. can exert pulling power equal to 2,07i times the weight of it's own body. So great is the power possessed by the oyster that to open it force equal to 1,319.5 times the weight of its shelless body is required. If the human being possessed strength as great in proportion as that of these shellfsh, the average man would be able to lift the enormous weight of 2,976, GOO pounds, pulling in the same degree aE the limpet. And if the man pulled in the same proportsonate degree as tho cockle he would sustain q weight of no less than 3, JOG, 300 pounds. -Worthing. Oon's Magazine

.Aetraye.l py a Flosser.

To the monastery Of the GTG.s., C.iae. freuse women. as a rule. are inexari. ply refused admittance, only very few having had the privilege of seeing th4 Carthusians {monks of the order at home. A story is told of French daughter of Eve, blessed with even greater share of curiosity than that pos sessed by the generality of her sex, who, having heard from her husband and brother of their late interesting visit to the monastery, tried by every means in her power to effect an entrance there, but all to no avail. Determined, however, by hook or crook, to succeed, she at last hit upon the happy idea of presenting herself there dressed as x man, managing to persuade her husband to allow her to do so, and to take her with him on his next visit.
 On arriving at the gates of the mon astery she entered unchallenged with the remainder of the party, but while in the garden the conducting monk, leaving her side, gathered an exquisite rose, which he brought and presented to her with q courtly bow, proving that he at least was not deceived by her dis guise. She, too, foolishly betrayed her self by her ready grace and charm of manner in accepting the rose, which she did most willingly. Needless to say that after this incident she never pene- trated into tho interior of the building nor saw what she was dying to see, but returned upsatisfed, sadder and a wiser woman, with high appreciation, however, of tine keen diseernment of the eloistered ones.

The Search For Truth.

Tn the search for truth no aid is go effective as the ever ready spirit of ao- tivity. He who postpones putting what he knows into practice until he knows more will find his journey long and diseouraging one. Carlyle well says; Conviction, were it never so excellent, Is worthless till it converts itself into conduct. Nay, properly conviction is not possible till then, inasmuch as all speculation is by nature endless and formless. Most true is it, as wise man teaches us, that, Doubt of any sort can not be removed except by action. On which ground, too, let him who gropes painfully in darkness or uncertain light and prays yehemently that the dawn may ripen into day, lay this other pre- eept we'll to heart, which to me was of invaluable service, Do the duty which lies nearest to thee,' which thou know est to be duty. The second duty will already have become clearer"

 Mexican Children.

In Mexico a group of lads from to l2 will meet and each boy decorously lift his hat, and salutations of extreme courtesy will be exchanged, and then comes the boyish chatter, the run and the laughter, tho same as anywhere. Boys i'll Mexico also treat their elders with much respect. An old man or wo- man is not the butt of the youth of Mex ieo Rather for the old people are re- served the shadiest seats under the trees ill the park, 4 Mexican boy or girl on entering q room, walks around among the company shaking hands with all. and on leaving the room does the same. Urbanity is taught in the public schools as arithmetic is in this coun- try. There is no one jostled on the street; the best seats ill a horse car are promptly given up to the ladies, who never fail to gracefully acknowledge the favor. have never seen a Mexican gentleman fail to give his seat to wo- man, whether she was richly or poorly dressed.

AMERICAN BRAVERY
 AT FL CANEY

London, July 1.-The Times this morning, discussing the fighting at Fl Caney, says: Both sides have shown courage of a very high order, and it is hard to say whether the splendid dash and bravery of the Amer ican advance in the face of galling fire, or the stubborn tenacity of the Spanish de- fense, is the more admirable. Both sides have learned to appreciate the splendid military qualities of their adversaries
 Ut is a pity that enemies who show themselves such worthy foemen in the field cannot see their way to save blood shed by coming immediately to an arrange ment on the inevitable basis.
 "The Spanfards have amply vindicated their honor and if they were wise they would now prove their common sense by offering terms to their opponents-terms which, if they were reasonable, would al- most certainly be discussed in a generous spirit.'

 On Board the Associated Press Dispatch boat Cynthia, .off Santiago, July ?, via Port Antonio July 2-S. p. n., and Kings ton July 3.-3:45 a. m.--A half hour after the bombardment ceased this morning Rear Admiral Sampson said 70 corres- pondent of the Associated Press that he was well satisfied with the result and deemed the attack the most destructive yet made by the American navy on Santi- age He also believed, he said, that the effect would be sure to dshearten the Spanish troops and encourage our own
 As soon as the bombardment closed Ad- miral Sampson sent an officer ashore to communicate with the land forces and ex- pressed eagerness to know what was be- ing done on shore. Neither he nor Cap tain Chadwick said so in plain terms, but it was evident that both believed that Santiago would be ours by sunset today
 By Il o'clock this morning the smoke covered the entire valley In which San tlago is located overwhelming the great est struggle of the present war.
 Up to the hour mentioned the fleet was still visible and no signs of a renewed bombardment was to be seen. From the fleet nothing whatever could be seen of the fighting in and around Santiago, which is not more visible from the sea than is Philadelphia from the Atlantic.
 To the correspondent Admiral Sampson reiterated his belief that Hobson and his comrades are safe in Santiago.
 Both Admiral Sampson and Captain Chadwick looked well.

SENATE WILL
 REMAIN IN SESSION

Washington, July 3-The senate will be in session on the Fourth of July, an unu- sual sitting, but deemed necessary by the friends of the Hawaiian annexation reso- lutions. It is probable that the week will be consumed by discussion of the resolu- tion unless a vote is reached near the mid de of the week, which some of the senators believe. No other business will be con- eidered that leads to any extended debate until there is a vote on the Hawaiian res- olutions. Of course war legislation which might be necessary will be considered if it comes up.
 Washington, July S.-The house will not be in session tomorrow, adjournment hav- Ing been taken until Tuesday. There is no definite program determined upon for the week. The conference report upon the de- Hciency bill will be considered Tuesday, And it may provoke considerable debate. The naval affairs committee has num- Der of bills which 1t desires to bring up, and day may be given to it.
 The naval personnel measure is the most important. If it can be reached under call Of committee, an effort will be made to take tip the anti-scalping bill. The bill to in- Corporate the International American Bank will follow the deficiency bill conference re- port, and continue before the house until

SOME EXPRESSIONS OF
 THE LONDON PRESS

London, July 4.-The Daily Graphic in its editorial observes:
 "The signal gallantry and devotion dis played by both Spaniards and Americans must be recognized. The behavior of the American sends thrill of pride through out the Anglo-Saxon world. The story of the splendid manner in which the rough riders carried San Juan is in line with the indomitable spirit of Balaklava."
 The Daily Graphic says, however, that the "Blunder lies deeper than any mere temporary miscalculation," adding that 'the Americans cast theIr net too widely as it might have been better to have left Santiago and Manila alone and to have concentrated their efforts on Havana"
