me to say a word to the fathers and
mothers Of Lancaster | shall en-
brace it with reference to the Sabbath
schools of the city. Remember your
responsibility in the matter OF the
moral education of your offspring,
and if they are encouraged by their
parents TO stay away from the Sunday
school where they are regularly and
Systematically instructed in the prin-
cpiles OF noble manhood, you are
partly to blame. The object Of the
Sunday school is to train children for
a noble life, noble citizenship and a
preparation for the solemn duties Of
life. The object is such commend
able one that it ought to have the
active support and endorsement of
every parent in Lancaster. Does
your child attend any Sunday SCHOOL,
Think this over and decide whether
you are willing TO assume the re-
sponsiblity Of ignoring the work done
in the Sunday school by permitting
your child to be absent.
1t is not the prerogative of the
church TO command attendance upon
the sessions of the Sunday School, and
unless the parent requires attendance
the probability is the school will be
ignored. Then, too, there is splen-
did opportunity of recognizing the
work done there by spending one or
two evenings a week assisting the
child in the preparation of the lesson
for the following Sabbath.
Opportunities, for what? To do
good, to teach the ignorant, to visit
the sick, TO pray with the sorrowing,
to be kind to the orphan and to point
all to the Lamb Of God that taketh
away the sins of the world. If they
slip through our fingers the same
ones will never return.
Who seeks and will not take when once It's
offered.
Shall never find it more.
We should use our time well for it
makes our life a power for good,
blessing TO others and a Joy to self.
We use our time we'll when we use
every opportunity to live to be good,
to do good, to glorify God and to en-
Joy him forever.
The following readings are suggest
ed for the remainder of the week:
Thursday, Matt. %, 41-46; Friday,
Mark II, 26.42; Saturday, Sam. ID,

A Perfect Diagnosis.

DR.. George Fordyce, who came in
11G2 from Edinburgh 10 London, very
speedily made himself Il name by u
series Of public lectures on medical sci
ence. which he afterward published in
Il volume entitled. Elements OF the
Practice of Physics" which passed
through many editions. Unfortunately
he was given To drink, and, though he
never was known to be dead drunE.
yet he was often in 4 state which
rendered him unfit for professional du-
ties.
One night when he was i'll such \
condition he was suddenly sent for TO
attend lady of title who was very
i'll. He went. sat down, listened TO her
story and felt her pulse. lie found he
was not up TO his work. He lost his
wits and in q moment of forGetfulness
exclaimed, Drunk, by JoVe" Still he
managed to write out mild prescrip-
ton.
Early next morning he received 4
message from his noble patient TO call
on her at once. DR.. Fordycc felt very
uncomfortable. The lady evidently in
tended TO upbraid him either with an
improper prescription or with his dis
graceful condition. But to his sur
prise and relief she thanked him for
his prompt compliance with her press
ing summons and then confessed that
he had rightly diagnosed her case, that
unfortunately she occasionally indulG
ed too freely in drink. but that she
hoped he would preserve inviOlable Sc
crecy as to the condition he had found
her i'll. Fordyce listened to her grave
as a judge and said: You may depend
upon me. madam. l shall be as silent
as the ve."-Gcntleman's Magazine

could not understand the touching
beauty of the last friend ut the poor

merely to cat, sleep and leave posterity
behind them. They sometimes were
vices ircarnate. Such were the fox. the
serpent, the scorpion. What a selfish.

Vigorous Trn ding.

Upon returning to camp we found
that John, the driver. had purchased n

men and women from the MaZOe val

siSting of alum and arsenic, which he
had mistaken for salt. l was filled

SOMETHING JUST AS GOOD.
How a Bilious Man Gave Up His Two Cups
of breakfast Coffee.

How Bilious Man Gave Up His Two Cups
of breakfast Coffee.
An east end man was advised some
time ago not 70 drink coffee. His doctor
told him 1t helped to make his liver tor
pid and his liver was doing its best to
render life miserable for himself and all
the rest of the family
But, no, he couldn't give up his two
cups at breakfast time. He couldn't
make the sacrifice. Nothing could take
the place of the delicious Java and
Mocha mixed that he had learned TO
love.
One day his wife suggested in a mild
way that he might be just as well sat
isfied with one of the brands of imita-
ton coffee. He almost frOthed ut the
mouth.
THAT internal stuff" he cried.
"Not much. The very first gulp would
settle me. I'd like to see anybody try to
fool me with a counterfeit of that sort. "
He didn't notice that his wife quietly
smiled. But, strange TO say, from that
time ON he grew better. His bilious
tendency was greatly lessened. He felt
like new man.
One day he met the doctor.
Hello, docr' he cried. I'm getting
better III spite of you"
"Given up coffee, have you:' queried
the smiling doctor.
Given up coffee? Not much. Coffee's
all right
A few weeks later he met the man
from whom he orders his groceries.
"Hello!" quoth the grocer. How
well you are looking"'
Yes" said the convalescent, I'm
feeling a great deal better"
by the way" said the grocer, ''you
seem TO like that substitute I've been
sending you"
What substituted"
"Why, that substitute for coffee"

said the bilious man cmphatically.
That's funny, said the grocer. Il
haven't sold your folks pound of gen
uinc coffee III the last three months"
The bilious man didn't say anything
further, but his thoughts were busy.
The next morning he looked ut his cup
Il little suspicioUsly, but he drank it
without u tremur. Perhaps he fancied
he detected the difference; perhaps not.

Why They Cheered.

DR.. WnCwell, master of Trinity col
lege, Cam bridge, was a great but I'M
popular man. When he entered the SEN
ate house, it was the i'll hammered prac-
tice of the undergraduates to begin Il
loud and continuous whistle.
How this originated do not know, :"
writes Dean Farrar i'll his book MEN
Have Known" There were two leg
ends about it. One was that it intimat-
cd that the master would have to whis-
tie for bishOpric; the Other-equally
absurd-Was that when some one had
asked him how to pronounce his name
he had said, You must shape your
mouth as il yOu Were going 20 whistle. I"
But under the rough manners of the
students there was genuine goodness of
heart. DR.. Whewell's wife died. He
had been tenderly devoted to her, and
when he attended chapel after her death
the undergraduates We're touched by an
"old man S anguish and a strong man 5
tears"
when next he entered the senate
house, " writes Dean Farrar, there was
dead silence. For the first time for l
know not how many years not a whis-
tie was heard, and then moment after
ward as by spontaneous impulse the
whole crowded mass of undergraduates
i'll the gallery burst into "a loud and
long contlpued cheer. 1t was not aston
fishing that such u proof of sympathy
should move the heart of the great mas
ter or that the tears should run down
his checks. l do not think that he was

An Arbitrary Fee.

Victor Smith tells this story in the
New York Press: My father was an
old time lawyer. He tried little case
for his bUCtmaker and entered on the
books a charge of sI5, the price Of a new
pair Of boots. When the latter was de-
livered, the accompanying bill was $50.

have taken offense at the apparent effort
to do him. but the lawyer smilinClv

PHOTOGRAPHY.
A Critic Who Says That 1t Eas Lowered
the Standard of Art.

A Critic Who Says That 1t Eas Lowered
the Standard of Art
Has photography accomplished any
thing: Yes; it has cheapened art great
y. 1t has lowered the standard with a
public that instinctively prefers the
sham and the machine made and the
microscopic. It has reduced the artist
to demoralizing struggle with the
amateur simply to get his bread and
butter. In the beginning Of the century
England was celebrated for its beauti-
fully illustrated books, III which the
greatest artists, engravers and printers
collabOrated TO produce a perfect
whole. Today the place Of these books
has been taken by The Strand Magazine
and The Sketch, thanks TO the services
of photography. In the making of books.
however, the tendency has always been
toward the survival of the cheapest, and
the cheapest-usually the newest-has
always interested artists for awhile,
though for other reasons than its cheap
ness.
Steel engravings succumbed before
wood engraving and photography, and
they, in turn. have succumbed TO the
cheapness of the process man. In many
ways until lately process was a great
advance upon any other form of repro
duction. Now process block makers are
mostly photographers, who are killing
each other i'll the race for cheapnesS.
do not want any one to think l would
imply that photography is not useful to
the artist. On the contrary, it is and
especially in illustration, since it pre-
serves the illustrator original design
for him. 1t enables the architect to get,
at small expense and without the trOu
bic of going TO see and draw them, bits
of detail in foreign lands, though this is
a questionable advantage. The world
greatest architects managed very well
without it. One critic has said that II
photographers would turn their atten
tion to the recording of historic events,
like the jubilee, or of vanishing build
ings they could do an immense service
to art. In one way this is true, in an
other it is not.
Surely this critic would be the last to
suggest that the cinematographic pic
tures''-the whole %, 0C0 of them,
shown ut the Empire, think-ara equal
to one picture of Il procession by Carpac
CiO painted centuries before we had airy
photographs. No doubt %, 0OO artists
would be required to secure as many
views of the jubilee procession as We're
obtained by the cinematograph, and
their employment might have been too
much of a good thing. But if, say, half
Il dozen accomplished artists had been
commissioned and allowed to do what
they wanted, might we not have had a
record of some artistic impOrtance? As
