For Christian to feel poverty-strick-

we are walking far from Christ. If
Christ is our brother, his honor is in
our keeping. One motive for giving
Christ grateful honor is this: what
ever honor comes to him, he at once
shares with all his brethren. What are

vulgarlty OF the Exclusive.

In very candid and plain-spoken
article on "The Graciousness of High
Breeding" in the November Womans
Home Companion, Ella Morris Kret-
SEMINAR makes these pertinent re-
marks: Men and women who by con-
tact or travel know the worlds best So
ciety need not be told that simplicity
and graciousness are the invariable
characteristics of the highest breed
ing. If this fact could only reach the
minds of that class Of people who talk
of 'exclusiveness. of -four hundreds
of the 'vulgarity of trade of not
knowing any one outside of our set,'
what a grateful social change would be
wrought. That cold stare of the would
be elect is but the expression of an
underlined, poverty-stricken soul.
What is 'exclusiveness?' 1t is that
human policy which shuts individuals
off from the enjoyment of their kind.
by which society gains, since an in
harmonious element Is thereby re-
moved. How pathetic is the isolation
of the determined aristocrat, especial
ly in small town where. other STIR
ring interest lacking, human relations
mean so much Could even a Divine
microscope detect the difference be-
tween the naked souls Of a bankers
and a grocer's wife? How infinitely
stupid 1t is to draw lines in small
places instead OF honestly enjoying all
there is to enjoy. If one has had SUI
perior advantages. Is there no obliga-
ton to give pleasure, to make sun
shine in others lives because Of that
good fortune? The time is at hand
when intelligence will be too wide
spread, progress to a more vigorous
plane of thinking too real to admit of
men and women looking askance at
one another to make mental invoice Of
social, financial or other probabilities?
Will II not soon penetrate the dullest
brain that wealth, rank or leadership
are powerless as shields against I'M
happiness, or as props to mental, moral
or physical deficiencies; that there is
positively no honest or sensible basis
for judging individuals excepting in
diyiduality?"

Use of HandGlass.

Every girls dressing table boasts

If she's a real girly-girl, with a fair
amount OF vanity, but one sometimes
wonders when she looks at the maids
on the streets to what use these i'm
plements are put, for the toilet OF the
average feminine shows so often to-
tai lack of symmetry that one cannot
believe she spends much time using
the reiectors. At least she doesn't let
her gaze wander below her head, 1t
would seem, for, while her couture Is
all right usually, the collar below is
often sight. One young woman in
velvet stock which was fastened with
white pins in the frankest manner inn
aginable. each little head showing con-
spicuously on the black, while at the
other end a row of bristling points
warned hands off, The remainder
of the costume was pretty and even
elegant, but this one feature spoiled it
ALL Another maid who walked down
the street recently had her skirt on
slightly awry-only slightly, mind you
but it was enough to throw the line
which commenced at the curly knot at
the back OF the head was continued
down the plat of the shirt waist and
should have finished straight down the
skirt, completely out of its course, and
so it was quite sufficient to ruin the
effect of what was otherwise an at
tractive toilet. She didn't use hand
glass. that's certain. Examples of this
sort multiply when one looks for them,
says a writer in the Chicago Chronicle.
There's the woman who pins her boz
dice with tiny safety pins, those fas-
Jennings forming zig-zag line that it
makes one dizzy to look at. and she
whose sash is maudlin looking, it's sc
crooked, and a host OF others, the great
majority Of the transgressions occur

hand glass is a real necessity, not so
much from motives of vanity as from
a desire to appear decently arrayed

1t isn't used oftener and with more
thoroughness.

Things 10 Forget.

If you would increase your happiness
and prolong your life, forget your
neighbors' faults. Forget the SANDER
you have ever heard Forget the temp
tations. Forget the fault-fnding, and
give a little thought to the cause
which provoked it. Forget the peculi-
arities Of your friends, and only re-
member the good points which make
you fond of them. Forget all personal
quarrels or histories You may have
heard by accident and which, If re-
peated, would seem a thousand times
worse than they are. Blot out as far
as possible all the disagreeables of life;
they will come, but they will grow
larger when you remember them, and
the constant thoughts of the acts OF
meannesss or, worse still. malice, will
only tend 10 make you more familiar
with them. Ob;iterate everything dis
agreeable from yesterday. start out
with a clean sheet for today and write
upon 1t, for sweet memory's sake, only
those things which are lovely and love-
able.

Those Long Rooms.

Long, narrow rooms are more diff
cult to furnish artistically than are
rooms of better proportions. In fur
nishing such rooms the endeavor must
constantly be made not to interfere
with the little width they already have,
but to cut off the length in effect.
Where two long rooms open into each
other, screens and portieres may be
effectively employed to give them
shorter and therefore broader appear
ance. A sofa stood across corner or
table so placed, especially with
screen behind it, helps to break up the
length of an apartment. Another way
to break up length is to form group
of objects, such as a table with books
on it and jardiniere, with a couple
of chairs close to it, as If inviting
guests to sit there; this group should
stand three-quarters of the length OF
the room from it's front or rear and
little to one side, to break the length
of the wall line. Another way to make
a room look less long and narrow is to
place large rug over the carpet floor
and lesser rug of another color effect
just beyond it, placing table on the
smaller one.

Thoughts for the Week.

First of all, keep your eyes wide
open during the working hours. That
seems simple thing to do, doesn't it?
When your eyes are wide open, you
will see many new things in the world,
many things that half asleep people
never see. So get wide awake and
learn all you an from the world about
you. Read books that give you in
formation as well as entertainment.
Associate with people who are cheer
full and instructive. Try to keep out
of your mind all the small trials that
you may have. Make it point each
day to say a pleasant word to some
one, do kindness for some one and
do the things that you promised
yourself yesterday that you would do
today. Don't be ashamed of being big
hearted and ambitious to improve
yourself in body and mind. Remem-
Der that one of the best ways of self
Improvement is being of service to
others who need help.-Catholic Uni
verse.

The Real Touchstone.

The highest achievement of charity
is love our enemies; but to bear. cheer
fully with our neighbors' failings is
scarcely an inferior grace. 1t is easy
enough to love those who are agree
able and obliging- what fly is not at
tracted by sugar and honey? But to
love one who is cross, perverse, tire
some. is unpleasant. Nevertheless,
this is the real tombstone of brother
ly love. The best way of praeticing
it is to put ourselves in the place of
him who tries us, and to see how we
would wish him to treat us if we had
his defects We must put ourselves in
the place OF buyer when we sell, and
seller when we buy, If we want to deal

The People In Tumult and Everybody
Carrying q Lighted Lantern.
At Kyoto, among hundreds of queer
sights was that of fire at night, says
a writer in the Baltimore Sun. All
Japs who have friends within a ra-
dius of half mile must present them
selves or their representatives at their
friends house during or Immediately
after the fire to inquire If they can be
Of any assistance. The result is that
thousands turn out at every fire. The
almost deserted streets were quickly
crowded by thousands of Japs, each
carrying a paper lantern. They came
racing down every street and rushing
in a confused mass. Some of the paper
lanterns were four feet long and as big
as a barrel, carried high above the
crowd at the end of bamboo and fol-
lowed by a dozen lanterns half so
large, such special delegation repre-
senting some rich family or a prom
inent firm. Our hotel was out in full
force, all the guests with their Ian
terms, and made visits of coincidence to
friends in the vicinity of the fire. The
firemen upon the roofs of houses car
ried paper lanterns and fought the
fire with water forced by hand pump
through few lengths of bamboo poles,
answering for hose. To gaze from
more elevated heights down upon the
scene, whittier your jinrikisha was
swiftly carrying you, was glittering,
weird panorama, unique spectacle
not soon forgotten. In some respects it
was sort of pandemonium; the noise
of the crowd, the frightful calls and
chattering Of thousands of running
Japs, each with a paper lantern, the
yells of hundreds of jinrikisha coolies
shouting for gangway as they sped
along, the clatter of the wooden shoes
Of the multitude afoot, resounding
upon the stone-paved streets, the dart
Ing of lanterns to and fro and the con-
fusion at the fire were all very, very
strange indeed. Japanese newspapers
the next day contained entire pages
of cards of thanks of those who re-
ceived visits of coincidence due to the
fire.
In winter there are on the average
three fires per day in the large cities,
resulting in plenty of advertisements
for newspapers and work for carpen-
tiers. Carpenters are often accused OF
practicing incendiarism to secure work.
Fire insurance is very rare and ex-
pensive. Business firms endeavor to
build fireproof shops. Usually mud

Where No Women Dwell.

Utah claims a town of $50 inhabi-
tants, not one of whom is woman.
Not only are women not allowed as
residents, but they are forbidden to en-
ter the town limits. This unique vii
lage is called Sunnyside, and is situat-
ed in Whitmore canyon, near Price.
1t is coal mining camp, and is not,
as might be supposed. the property Of
professed woman haters, but of sordid
business men. The company which
owns the coal mines has not yet se-
cured a perfect title to the lands
which form the property. Until the
title is secure anyone establishing a
home on the land might claim proper
ty rights and force the company to buy
him out, and 1t was to prevent any
such contingency arising that the COM
pany issued the edict against the min

Faith.

A man who so lacks faith and cour-
age never becomes prophet, leader,
a hero or son of God. Nations are
like individuals. History is one long
and glorious record of the victories of
faith. When peoples creed is made
up of what they don't believe, there is
no hope for their spiritual improve
ment or for their progress in any d.
rection, physical, mental, moral or ma
tional. Faith gave Moses and his peo-
pie an active, progressive impulse. 1t
inspired them to forget Egypt,to strug-
gle, aspire, rise and work out a great
national destiny. Great power, great
history, in the evolution of civilization
are made possible by faith that sees
the invisible, trusts in the unseen,
reaches out after the hidden possibili-
ties and fronts the future with a brow
of hope and confidence.-Rev. Frank
A. Buston, Methodist, Washington, d.

Faith and Works One Thing.

Faith" and works" are not two
separate things, but two phases or as
poets of the same thing. Faith is the
inner spirit that links a soul with
Christ, and thus secures to the soul
power to do for God and man. Works
are the manifestation of that linking,
evidencing to man and to God that the
current of power is complete. Faith
is the fire, works are the heat which
the fire gives out. Fire without heat
is dead; it may look as if it were warm.
but it is only show, like colored tinsel
in summer CRATE There is such dead
fire as this, and such dead faith. Let
the show not deceive us.
