A Historic Prayer.

One of the most distinguished mem
hers of the ST. Simonian school, wish
ing to give his children a religious ed
ucation distinct from the usual forms
of worship, asked the Able Lamennais
for a prayer which he could teach to
his boys. The following is the prayer
as published by Pelissier in the Cor
respondence Historique: you have
said, 0 Jesus, Let the children come
unto Me- / come to You. l come to
pray You to spread abroad Your spirit
in my heart, to give to me love for
our Father who is in heaven, and for
my brothers who are upon the earth;
for he loves who fulfills the law. Bless,
o Jesus, this little child who prays to
You. Bless the parents whom You
have given to him, so that after this
life which is passing they may be
found all together, in the bosom OF
love, and of the joys of love, in the
life which never ends" The child
who learned SO early that "he who
loves fulfills the law" was no other
than Sadi Carnot, the future president
OF the French republic.

Common Sense.

II is sometimes said that common
sense is the most uncommon Of all ad-
mirable qualities, and yet we continue
to denominate it by title that implies
that it is so widely diffused that almos.
every one not an idiot possesses 1t. The
reason that common sense is so I'M
usual is evident the moment you re-
fleet that it largely consists in seeing
things as they really are. Most of us
look at the facts with which we have
to deal through colored spectacles We
have our prejudices, and the worst OF
1t is that we are not conscious of them,
and, therefore, cannot rid ourselves OF
them by an effort of will. We are con-
additionally hopeful and foreboding,
courageous or timid, and this predom-
inant mood colors our judgment. This
twist in our perception just rcbs us
which belong to those rare beings who
have common sense. Probably 1t is
impossible to help people to acquire
this faculty by any admonition or
training. Experience is the best and
almost the only teacher. But you have
conferred lasting benefit upon the
average man when you have succeeded
in creating wholesome suspicion in
his mind that it is just possible that
the goodness of the common sense of
other people is not measured by his
own ideas of hings.-Catholic Uni

AS good perfumery from flowers is
made at the south as is imported from
abroad. A common method of extrac-
ton is to make layers of beef tallow
and blooms, then cut up the tallow and
soak 1t in alcohol, an alright box be-
ing first provided. with panes of glass
that just fit into it. The tallow is laid
upon the glass, and the blooms of the
flowers, gathered early in the morning,
as soon as the dew is dried off, are
strewn thickly upon its surface; then a
layer of mutton suet or beef tallow, cut
into small pieces, is spread over the
blooms; another pane of glass is placed
on top Of this; then a layer of tallow
and blooms, as before. This operation
is repeated until the box is full, when
it is shut up tight and placed in cool,
dark, even-temperatured room, and in
twentyfour to thirty six hours the tai
low will have absorbed all me odor of
the blooms.

A RnrglnrH Story.

They were telling burglary sto-
ries" on the veranda in front OF the
grocery store in down-east town.
The mans hand was thrust through
the hole he had cut in the door, said
the star talker. when the woman
seized the wrist and held on in spite
bf the struggles of the man outside.
In the morning the burglar was found
dead, having cut his own throat when
he found escape impossible; but the
brave woman had not known he was
dead, aud so had not released her grasp
on his wrist all night long" Huh"
growled the skeptic in the corner;
why didn't she feel of his pulse?"-

The Door to Future Eminence.

There is comfort as well as direction
for the weak Present fidelity is the
door through which to pass to future
eminence. The disciple of the Lord is
content with the sphere in which he is
placed, but he seeks to fill that thor
oughly, in order that he may rise the
sooner to something better. Nor does
he seek in vain, for the Lord does not
overlook the faithfulness of the feeble,
but opens for them door of oppor-
tunity which all the sticklers for &C.
clesiastical propriety, and all the
votaries of intellectual culture, and all
the influences of fashionable society
will not be able to shut. And then
when the best use has been made OF
earth's opportunities, when he has en-
ployed to the utmost in the Masters
service and the service of his genera
ton that strength, which even at its
best in this life is but small, the Lord
will open to him the door of heaven,
saying: well done, good and faith
full servant; thou hast been faithful
over a few things; / will make thee
ruler over many things; enter thou
into the Joy of thy Lord"

GAVE A FARM FOR A DRINK.
Paradoxical In Texas. the Drink Was
Straight Water.


A section OF land which constitutes
one OF the finest farms in the fertile
Brazos bottom Of Texas once sold for
drink of water. 1t was about fifty
years ago, according to ex-Lieut.-Gov.
George T. Jester, that crowd of from
tiersmen from off the Brazos came to
Corsicana on a trading expedition.
Corsicana at that time was not as
great town as it is now, since 1t
threatens to rival the most productive
typical frontier village or trading post.
The grandfather of Gov. Jester was a
Methodist circuit rider, and lived at
that time in Corsicana. He occupied
two-story double log house. His house
was rendezvous for people from far
and near who came trading. In those
days land certificates were used as cir
culating medium, as money was rarely
seen. On one occasion a whisky-drink-
ing character from off the Brazos ar
rived in town, got on a drunk, and at
night was put to bed in the second

o'clock in the morning he awoke with
a terrible thirst. No water was in the
room, and he couldn't find the way
down stairs. Sticking his head out OF
the window, he saw some men asleep
in the yard. He called to them to
bring him a drink Of water, but no one
answered him. A second and third
time he called, but with no response.
Finally he yelled out: Zone of you
fellows bring me drink of water, and
I'll give you 800 acres Of land" This
aroused one Of the sleepers, who called
back that he wouldn't climb those
steps for 800 acres OF land, and the
offer was raised to $40 acres. The man
under the tree drew bucket Of water
and lugged it upstairs and offered a
dipperful to the topper, but he pushed 1t
aside. Give it to me out OF the bucket
like horse" he said. and he put about
half the contents of the bucket under
his belt. In those days a Texans
word was his bond, and this fellow kept
his word about the land. Next morn
ing he made his benefactor a deed to
GAO acres of Brazos bottom land. This
land still belongs to the descendants OF
the water carrier and Is one of the
finest farms to be found in all Texas.
1t is now worth from $S5 to $40 per
acre.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat,

The Earring Again Becoming Popular.


Earrings are coming in again, and
while fashions slaves are merely pro-
testing that they will not wear the
bar barous things, they will undoubted-
ly submit in the end. The edict has
gone forth that earrings are to be
worn again, and the jewellers are pre-
pared for an immediate demand for
that article Of jewelry, which was rele-
gated to oblivion ten years ago. One
drawback to the revival is that nine
out of every ten women will need to
have their ears pierced again, and ev-
ery woman has an acute remembrance
of that painful ordeal in the past.
When or mothers were young 1t was
the custom to pierce the ears by put
ting cork behind them, stretching the
lobe of the ear tight over the cork. and
then piercing with needle. afterward

M. Jules Roche, the former French
Minister of Commerce, and president
of the new French Taxpayers League,
has just published a pamphlet on the
financial situation in France, which
contains some striking figures. He
argues that to form a correct idea of
the present financial situation in
France it is necessary to go back at
least as far as 1874, when the interest
to be paid on the loans contracted for
the Franco-Prussian war was already
inscribed in the budget. In that year
the budget amounted to 2,623,000,0OO
francs. The draft budget for 1899
amounts to S,474,O0O,0OO francs. show
ing an increase since 1874 Of S51, 000,-
600 francs The average annual In
crease in expenditure has, therefore,
been 100000 francs, or rather, when
various considerations of the public
debts are taken into consideration.
100000 francs. With regard to the
windfall of 61O,O0O,OOO francs per an
mum which the state will have at its
disposal in 1850, when the railways
of France become its property, NJ.
Roche points out that the profits OF
the railways in France will have much
increased in that time. He estimates
from the growth OF traffic that the net
profits OF the railways will be at least
1,042, 100000 francs.

Light hair should be washed often
and dried in the sun. A tablespoonful
of household ammonia added to each
basin of water used in washing assists
materially In keeping 1t light. Dark
hair should be dried In the shade, or 1t
will fade in streaks. But If the dark
haired girl wishes to tighten her tres
ses without a bleach she can accom-
plish something in that direction by
adding borax to the water, and, after
drying the hair in the shade, giving 1t
"sun bath" as often as practicable.
During the sun bath the hair should be
spread and shaken out constantly,
