A Christian Greeting.

Whether or not church is marked
by "a genuinely hospitable spirit is to be
determined not by the amount Of socia-
bility among its own members, bat by
their attitude toward strangers. He

tendants. 1t sometimes happens that
even in church which has great repu-
tation for sociability strangers come
and go without SO much as being accost-
ed. The reason is that everybody is SO
much absorbed in saluting his own
friends that however good his inten-
tions may be- be overlooks the outsiders.
There are other places and times which
offer opportunities for intercourse with
your friends, but when you are in the
house of God seize the chance to give a
Christian greeting to any who may feel
themselves alone and friendless. 1t re-
quires some courage to approach an ell
tire stranger, whose demeanor in many
cases does not invite you to take the
initiative. Probably, however, if you
tried it oftener you would find it easier.

Trust.

Trust is applied faith. 1t is conf
dence in a person. The difference be-
tween faith and trust may be stated by
a proposition. 1t is often SO stated in
the Scripture when the proposition in
or on is connected with believing.
Devils may believe that there is a God,
but only disciples Of Jesus believe on
Him INTO everlasting life. We believe
doctrine; we trust person. Wha,
we believe about Christ is one thing,
what we trust in Christ for is another.

She Insists upon Having her own

writer in st. Nicholas tells Of an
Angora cat named "Pussinella", who
belongs to little Italian girl, the daugh-
ter OF one Of King Hum bert's aides. The
cat was born in the Quirinal, and was a
gift to the little girl from Queen Mar
guerite. The writer says:
Pussinella's every whim and humor is
considered, and she has many, especially
about her eating; no princess was ever
half so fastidious or exacting, or gave 50
much trouble by her capricious appetite.
One day she will have only cooked meat
another only raw, still another none at all,
but only fowl or birds. In Genoa, she
had her own particular corner in the
dining room, with a little carpet on
which her plate was set; but she did not
always eat there-no, indeed! If the day
was bright and sunny, she preferred the
terrace, or the drawing as her
mood might be. She would walk ahead,
looking back to see il she were being fol-
lowed, until she got to the spot where she
stop. She was always obeyed as respect
fully as any royal queen, for her COM
mands were usually enforced by such
frantic cries or ominous growls that all
feared to gainsay her, or preferred to
keep he peace.
The kitchen was in the upper story of
the house, and when Pussinella wished

often wondered that the cook was SO good

and he feared her claws, so the result was

The editor of the household column
has something to say. He is not going to
talk at great length; people who do are
apt to say something they don't half
mean-the editor means everything he
says here.
To come to the point at once, there was
no household column last week. Why?
Only one contribution was receved-not
enough to make decent showing.
As the editor stated when this depart
ment was at first projected, it is a column
of the housewives and farmers own
making, and its permanency depends
upon the interest they take in it. The
loyalty of a few frequent contributors to
the column is appreciated, but more
should be heard from. The editor be-
ieves there are many who would miss
this column. He has spoken.

that new material is scarce, and old
material on the whole of a mediocre
nature. Should Kelley, Wheeler and
Crowds decide to play again, however,
the situation will materially brighten.
But the gloom at Princeton over the
poor outlook for a successful seasons 8
play is as nothing compared to the dis
appointment over the Tigers only one
big game. That Pennsylvania should
be taken on as a trial horse before the
Yale game. every well-wisher Of the
orange and black perfectly agrees.
Last year Princeton's downfall was in
a large measure due to too few hard
games on the schedule. And now it Is
the same story, but plus a much
poorer prospect of shaping well-bal-
anoed sturdy team on the de-
fense and sure ground gamer. But

vanans think that this style of play
alone can defeat Harvard on her own
grounds this fall. And this view of the
matter is by no means without ground
for argument, inasmuch as both the
Cornell and the Indian teams last year
demonstrated conclusively that there
IS a certain defense for guards back
which can be relied upon at every
stage of the game to make the attack
ing party lose ground in two trials out
of every four.
At Cambridge there is the usual
feeling of confidence that the Crimson
will be strongly represented this year,
and that the games with Yale and
Pennsylvania are all over but the
shouting. But it is ever so at fair Har-
ward! The rule is for the material to
be of the very best and the most
abundant-but, further, that some fric-
ton among the coaches or a short
sighted or foolish policy in the matter
of training and settling upon a defense
and an attack, inevitably results in
ignominous defeat when the season IS
about to close with the more important
games. The best of Harvard material
at this time may be set down in order
of merit as follows: Dbblee captain
Reid, Ellis, Boal, Wheeler, Richardson,
Hallowell, Burnett, Sargent, Burden,
Lang and Sawin. The loss of Doucette
at center will be most severely felt,

because Cornelrs only weakness in the
past-the employment Of mediocre out
side coachers-is now her greatest
strength. Cornell has to-day and has
already had an abundance of good
material.
Browns meteoric career upon the
gridiron received a sad tumble in
more than one game during the past
season, when more than half hum

with the loss Of such stars as Fultz
and Gammons, the fall is likely to be
more pronounced.
Activity at Dartmouth, Williams,
where two Yale men are doing the
coaching, Amherst and Wesleyan is
pronounced and in every instance con-
fidence is expressed Of making a de-
cided advance this year in the science
of the game. Last year the Indians
and the West Pointers played good
football, and the former expect this
year to lick both Harvard and Yale.
The team will be the same as last year,
and with any sort of luck in keeping
the regulars free of injuries their
dreams of triumphing over a big COL
lege team may be finally realized. But

than the feeble population OF Siberia
could supply. Penal labor was sue
cessfully employed in the vicinity OF
Irkutsk, but did not work elsewhere.
But, thanks to the nomadic habits OF
the peasants of Russian Europe. the
supply of labor has never failed. Ac-
customed to leave their country homes
for the factories Of Moscow and
Raizan, and to be away from their
wives and families for two or three
years, they have quite as willingly gone
to work in Siberia, returning for short
visits in the winter.
For six months work on the road Is
interrupted, owing to snow and frost.
Over much of the line the ground is
perpetually frozen and thaws for dis
tance of eight or nine feet in summer,
making troublesome mud. Such con-
ditions make the rapid progress very
meritorious, especially as much of the
work was given to local contractors,
whose implements were primitive. The
road bed has been much criticized by
foreign engineers. They complain OF
light ties and insufficient ballast, but
these conform to what is considered
good practice in America, and has en-
abled the government to carry out the
main idea of rapid completion, and

There seems to be no appreciable
abatement of interest among the many
lovers of the pigskin chase this sea-

all over the country to the effect that
he material is plentiful for the shap-
ing of a varsity eleven, it is not go

1t is quite the usual thing at this

the larger colleges and debate the
chances of victory pro and con.

are Yale, Pennsylvania, Princeton and
Harvard. Perhaps it would be well tc
discuss their prospects first.

preliminary practice in different parts
of the country, then returning to New

play before the first game of the sea-
