The True Poet-Jesus Is the earth s
truest poet. He translated mankind's
innate convictions into plain words
Rev. DIR. Frank Crane, Methodist, Chi
cago, Ill.
Mans Power.-The power and worth
of man have sometimes way Of
evincing themselves by what he does
and says. 1t is also impressively true
that the power and worth of a man
may evince themselves, If not so start
ling, at least more indubitable.
Wisdom's Ways.-The young should
know that wisdom's ways alone are
ways of peace. Gods favor Is the
highest good; heaven Is the noblest re-
ward. Conscience should be always
king, character is pure gold, reputation
is but tinsel-Rev. I. NJ. Griffith, Meth
odist, Philadelphia, Pa.
Optimism.-There. is no question that
the moral light of our community Is i'm
proving In quality, bringing more and
pure and true and good, and driving
into the outer darkness those things
that are evil-Rev. w. T. Hutchins,
Evangelist, Indian Orchard, Mass.
Old Truths.-In this age Of the Krupp
gun an old-fashioned blunderbuss Is
out of date, even In spiritual warfare.
This principle applies to the pulpit. We
need no new Gospel, but old truths in
new dress. The pews would be fuller
If there was greater ability in the pull
pit.-Rev. j. F. Brushingham, Meth
odist, Chicago, Ill.
LIES Lesson.-Music, and especially
the organ, is a great lesson to all Of us
In life. Each Individual must learn the
rules of harmony which shall teach
him the great lessons of order and sub
serviency. Over the organ must rule
sovereign mind, just as In every COM
munity must rule the higher intelli-
gence-Rey. II. C. Potter, Episcopal
ian, New York City.
Good Times.-Better times are ahead
Christian people are walking to their
opportunity. They are showing great
err faithfulness and more enterprise,
and have no doubt that our chlldren's
children will see times as much better
than these as our times are better than
the good old times of our fathers. Rev.
Frank NJ. Goodchild, Baptist, New
York City.
Personal Liberty.-A great many
young people have been kept out of the
church of Christ by the impressions
they have gained, that to be Chris
tian is not to be n free man. There
fore, | think we Christians ought so to
use our liberty as to emphasize the fact
that we have it.-Dr. Lyman Abbott,
Congregationallst, Brooklyn, New
York.

BABY SOPRANO.
Wee Two-Year-Old Girl Who Sings
Grand Operas.

Grand Operas.
The youngest musical wonder In all
New York Is little Marguerite Mandel-
kern, just years and B months old.
The wee girl has not yet learned to lisp
plainly the mingled English and Ger
man in which she expresses herself,
but there is no music too difficult for
her to sing with absolute precision
after once or twice hearing 1t upon the
piano.
The little treble voice is as clear and
true as a bell, and most intricate meas
ures are gly en- with II strict adherence
to time that would make prlma donna
envious.
The child Is daughter Of Joseph
Mandelkern, of No. 106 East One Hun
bred and TwenHeth street, and has
doubtless inherited her marvellous ear
from her father, whose ruling passion
Is music. For hours, while her sister
Elizabeth, q pianist of no mean order,
is playing, Baby Marguerite will creep
into the room and lie silently listening.
This had been going on for some time

1t was when near her second birth
day, however. that the infant musician
essayed her own powers. Her choice

in an aria from Aida AS the first
note was struck "Gracie," AS she Is
known at home. stopped suddenly in
her play. threw back her head, parted
her red lips and to the surprise of every
one present sang in sweet, pure
thread of tone the entire aria.
Once having found her voice the lit
tie maid. tremulous with delight, went
on to make her own every theme that
appealed to her. And Oracle knows,
too, everything that she sings. 1t Is
matter of moment to this small music
lover whether 1t be Verdi or Mendels-
sohn that occupies her attentlon.-New

ORIGIN OF THE BICYCLE.

u May BE Traced ms Far Back AS the
Seventeenth Century.
Ia st. Nicholas Frank II. VIzstelly
has told 1.-The Story of the Wheel. "
tracing the evolution of the bicycle.
Mr.. vizetelly says;
1t has been often said that "to trace
Il origin of the bicycle we must go
back to the beginning of the century,
and as this has not been denied it is
probably true. shall try to show that
the bicycle grew from experiments III
the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries,
and that the oelerifere, first invented III
1890, was the earliest form Of the
"safety" Of today. The first attempts
TO ride wheels date back al far as the
fifteenth century True, tho machines
then made were crude, clumsy and i'm
perfect, yet they deserve mention. for
they were distinct step in the history
of the wheel. Tho first of these was a
heavy carriage driven by means of ropes
attached to and wound round its axle
tree. To the other end of the ropes
pole was tied, and this pole was used
as q lever in front Of the vehicle, and
by this means 1t was slowly drawn for
ward.
Little was done in the century fol
lowing, yet in the Memoirs Of Henry
Fetherstone'' 1t is told that Jesuit
missionary named Ricius, who was
travelling down the Ganges, having
missed boat that piled at regular in
tervals between points he was to visit
In his journey, made up for lost time
by building u small carriage propelled
by levers. Because 80 few details are
told, the truth Of the authors account
has been doubted or disoredited by
many.

nam s vehicle was followed by another
built ON somewhat similar plan, by
an Englishman named Ovenden about
1851, for description of the machine
then appeared in The Universal Maya
zine. The vehicle was said to be "the

to do 1t, and In many cases German eX-
perts have been called for. The Eco
nomical Society of the Bulgarian capt.
tai has just now submitted n memorial
to the government asking for the state
appointment of some 70 to 100 capable
mechanics able to do this kind of work.
The ministry supports this scheme, and
decided that these mechanics should
have to instruct In the first place the
rural population In the application of
improved agricultural machinery and
implements.
This impetus will doubtless result In
a large increase of the imports of all
kinds of agricultural machlnery.-Phil-

TO DRY cHiLoREN'S SHOES.
The Way to Do 1t So that the Lea'ne'
Will Not Shrink.

"Damp feet are always walking TO-
ward disease and DEATH says an EN-
inent physician, and more impressive
truth It would be difficult to put ihto
words. Children must play out OF doors
and they will run about In all weather.
II is almost always the case that when
the little shoes come off ut night, they
are damp. if not actually wet. Ing

shoes of soft leather or felt are mex

ing In noise and the nerve irritation
that Is often harder to bear than the
laborious work with which the house
mother has to struggle.
As soon as the shoes are taken OF
they should be filled to the very tops
with dry oats. 1t Is a custom OF one or
the most provident women who ever
raised n family to prepare stocking rect
of the sizes of the various shoes worn
by the children. These are numbered
and hung on a nail in the entryway,
where the little ones keep their wrap
pings. These stockings feet have short
tops; In fact, they are shaped more like
a baby's sock than anything else. They
are filled with oats and sewed up at the
top. A couple of inches of extra room
is allowed at the top, and when the
shoes are to be filled, the oats are
shaken loosely through the stocking,
then 1t is put into the shoe and ADJUST
ed as nearly In the form of the human
foot as possible. A few gentle raps will
settle the cats into the shoe; then Il
strong cord is tied around the stocking
top as close to the grain as possible.

INDICATE CHARACTER.
What Different Kinds of Noses Mean
to Their Owners.

to Their Owners.
A thick nose and fiat Is an unfavora-
Bile feature with men as well as women,
usually signifylng that the character
Is preionilnated by material instincts,
while turned-up nose with wide nos
trlls betokens vain disposition.
Especially wide nostrils are signs Of
courage, strength and pride; small nos
trils of weakness and timidlty. Noses
large in every respect are usually found
among men, and when woman pos
sesses a large nose 1t indicates she Is
masculine In character.
The nose, the form of which has so
much to do with the beauty of the face,
Is amenable to culture, and we have it
on the authority of German physi-
clan that 1t is beyond dispute that dur
Ing half an ordinary human life the
nose Is capable of receiving more noble
form. The mental, training OF an lndi-
vidual has a great deal to do with shap-
ing the nose.
The small, fiat nose, found among
women and called the soubrette nose,
when occurring with an otherwise
agreeable cast Of countenance, indi-
Gates gracious and cheerful nalvette,
combined with considera BILE curiosity.
Such a nose Is seldom found among
men, and when man Is unfortunate
enough to possess 1t he is characterized
by weak and definite sagacity.-Phlla-
delphia Press.
