1.-THE nationalist inquirer insists, if

He should have hung his portrait

armament a map of His heaven. Shut
ting his ears to his souls deliv-
erances concerning itself, the philos-
opher attempts to obtain a knowledge
of ali truth by investigating nature, as
if one should seek to measure the ocean
by dabbling in a wayside pool Having
discovered that nature is under the
reign of law, he persuades himself that
nothing can happen save in conformity
to law, not as it is, but as he under
stands it. So prayer cannot be eff
fectiye. nor the divine oversight and di-
rection be realities. How pertinent,
still. is the rebuke of the Master, o,
fools. and slow of heart to believe
That which has happened, and that
which is happening continually, show
that laws the most general are being
constantly modified to special uses.
There are general laws by which cleo
tric forces are governed and controlled,
and by. which sound travels. Through
conformity to these, men secure mar
yelous results But If man may thus
tutflize them for special ends, is it not
absurd to suppose that the Infinite is

cannot make them the servants Of His

FURNISHING THE HOME.

The Very Essence of Elegance Lies in the
simplicity of Arrangement.
There is no idea more wautonly
erroneous than that it re quires a lib
eral expenditure of money to have a
comfortable and artistic home"
writes Edward W. Box in the April
Ladies Home Journal. 1.-THE very
essence of elegance lies in simplici-
ty. 1t is not art to make a parlor
the duplicate of an exhibition room
in furniture store. That simply
calls for an outlay of money and a
failure to exercise taste. There is no
tone to such room-no air of re-
pose, no comfort, no individuality.
II speaks for what it is: an exhibit
ton. True art in furnishing is found
in allowing q home to slowly devel-
op under the tastes of those who live
in 1.-THE adoption of an idea here,
another there. The development of
taste requires time and cultivation.
No house worth living in can be COM
plete at one time. A home of COM
fort unfolds itself. so to speak, and
unfolds slowly. True improvement
comes in this way, and only In this
way. Young marie people cannot
bear this fact in mind too strongly
when furnishing their homes"
