THE RICH MIR. SMITH.

AS past the magnificent palace we
bOwled,
The driver explained this exhibit in
gold
Was made by the millionaire, Everard
Smith,
A man whom success was on pleasant
terms with.
But while we exclaimed, and admired,
and oh oh'd!
Till the horses were turned at the bend
in the road,
He corrected himself. at belongs to
his kith
And his kin; he is now the late Mr..
Smith"
Somehow that word late struck us cold
as the chill
AS new opened grave when the night
wind is still,
And it made wealth and splendor un-
real as myth,
AS we sighed in a whisper, "Oh, poor
Mr.. Smith,"

BE We angry, and siuinot," is the
admonition which ST.. Paul gives to
his converts at Ephesus; The pas
sage has been the subject of much
false eXegesis.. n -Chaucer, whose
spiritual insight is usually very cor
rect, wholly misses the point here,
and says that "He sins not in anger
who is angry with SIN" The trouble
with most commentators is that they
isolate the passage from its context,
which is, Let not the sun go down
upOn your WRATH Sudden anger is
not a sin If arrested; but all an ger is
a sin which is cherished and assidu-
Ously fomented. The picture of Tam
Shanter's wife, which Burns draws
in couplet,
"Gath'ring her brows like gath'ring
storm,
Nursing her wrath to keep it warm"
is better comment upon this text
than most divines have furnished
US. Your sudden passion will die
out Ii you Will let 1T die. But the
trlfling atfront or minor injustice
may be nursed into a fury set on
fire of bell" The christian should
be of all men placable. Wrath may
disturb his day, but peace, with for
giveness, should bless his nights.
DO not carry one days tumult to
another days dawn. Go to bed with
all bitterness resolutely laid aside.
Especially in the same household,
kiss auu make up" before you lie
down to seek rest In sleep. Let each
day bury its own mistakes OF
wrongs. 1t is not necessarily "a sin

resentment, and to carry the pas

ST.. PETERSBURG, Aug. The o =
fetal Messenger publish Is IA govern
ment cOmmunique reviewing length
lily the result of The Hague peace
conference.
After referring to the sympathetic
reception the powers accorded the
czar's magnanimous appeal for peace.
it proceeds:
THE results of the conference have
fully come mp to the expectations ot
the government. IL has been I iund
necessary for the conference to post
pOne definite settlement of the
c implicated question of the suspen-
sion Of ornaments until fully eluci-
dated by the different gOvernm ents.
Nevertheless the tightening of mill
tary burdens il already admitted by
unanimous resolution to be urgently
desirable for all nations. o. the
other hand the labor5 of tAe confer
ence will doubtless exercise influ-
ence in regulating the customs of
war and stopping crueltIes. Theva
riOus states have agreed to use all
their resources in favor of the main
tenance of peace and the abolition of
war. 1t is now an established facl
that mediation, which hitherto de-
pended on the good will of the states
interested can henceforward be of
fered by third power on its own in
itiative."
The communique concludes :
without impairing the sovereign
rights of the Individual states, the
results afford fresh basis for inter-
national peace. The necessity for a
solution of the cars proposals is
admitted by all the powers, and the
march Of events will Indicate the
means to be employed in securing
the welfare of mankind and the full
attainment of the objects in view"

The mother who would have her
children healthy must not be afraid
to have them occasionally dirty.
While cleanliness is akin to good
illness, there is clean dirt that
comes from contact with the sweet
earth that is wholesome. Have the
little ones bathed frequently, insist
that they come to meals with i'm

tween meals, have them so dressed
that they are free to run and
romp as they will.
An over careful mother of An only

Attic expiration of the prescribed
time the baby was transformed. The
eyes that had been heavy were
bright. the skin had acquired a
healthful glow, the arms and legs
were plump, and the languid, tired
little patient had become rollicking
boy. The freedom, fresh air, and
clean dirt had, in months time

child's system than all the skill oil
