The Transformation of Foul Lives.

DR.. Guthrie, OF Scotland, was plead
ing once for his ragged schools, and
one man ridiculed the work: you in
tend to 60 down among those people
who are the very off-scouring Of the
earth, dirty, filthy. Incorporate and
vicious, expecting to make decent folks
of them? The very rags on which
your feet step as you go along the
street are better than they" Holding
up piece of note paper, DR.. Guthrie
said: My friend, this fine white pa
per is made of the rags that you
trample under your feet So Christ
can take the foulest lives ana trans
form them into His own loveliness.

President Kruger quotes the Bible
as bearing upon the Transvaal crisis,
and the cable announces the fact to
1he world. He remarked that he con-
sidered the Boer position best defined
by a certain chapter of scripture, and
forthwith more people than in any av-
erage twenty-four hours read the
psalm beginning, Keep not thou 81
lence. o God" Since Cromwell's day,
when hearty praying and hard fight
ang went hand in hand,rulers and COM
manders who get inspiration from the
bible are said to be twice armed. No
marching orders of a Boer general
could so fire the courage OF his SOL
diers as will the words OF the psalm,
which have stirred and strengthened
the hearts OF myriads OF men for many
generations.

How to remove a Tight RIM,

Most girls who have had baby rings
have had trouble in removing them
from their fingers.
There is really no necessity for all
this ado about removing a tight ring, :
said a downtown jeweler. "In that as
IN everything else, the secret of sue
cess lies in knowing how to do it. Here
is recipe that have found unfailing
for removing tight ring, and there is
no painful surgical operation in
volved, either. Thread needle fat in
the eye, using thread that is strong
but not too coarse. Then pass the head
of the needle under the ring. Care, of
course, must be used in this. and it
would be best to soap the needle be-
fore beginning. The needle having
been passed through. pull the thread
through a few inches toward the hand
so" BY this time the jeweler had
passed the needle and thread under the
ring on his own finger, and was pre-
pared to illustrate the little lecture.
Wrap the long erd of the thread tight
ly and regularly around the finger to-
ward the nail in this manner. Then
take hold of the short end and unwind
it-so. The thread, thus pressing
against the ring. will gradually remove
it, however tight or swollen the fin

the next room where a party was
dancing. 1t passed through the body
of a musician, killing him. and then
through the bodies of five of the men,

Chicago, April 1S.-A report by the I'LL

that the crop in the state was in an ex
ceedingly bad state started wheat strong.
This statement met with a good deal of
criticism, however, and after strong eff
fort the bears succeeded in causing the
loss of the greater part of the advance at
which this report had commenced.
Private crop reports were plentiful, and,
on the whole, as good as ever, but liqui-
dation of May holdings prevented an eX-
tensive advance during the greater part
of the forenoon. The Illinois report.
however. was too sensational to be ig-
nored and it reasserted itself later in the
day in spite of the Smelling out of long
wheat and shoveling off of July. The lat
ter was of benefit to the market later
