The Making or a Man.

Iwant to tell you true story to-day
about young man who became famous.
Like many another poor fellow, he was q
slave OF the fearful habit Of drink. This Is
the story:
One day when rich and talented young
lady OF Richmond. Va, was out driving,
she came upon young man who lny be-.
side TIE road, drunk. Moved by pi:y, she
alighted from her carriage and placed her
handkerchief over the young mans face,
then continued her ride.
Some days later the young man called to
see her, and said, Il am ashamed to look
you In the face. am the man you 80
kindly cared for the other day. l found
your name on the handkerchief, and have
come to thank you for your kindness. I
have signed the pledge. With my hand on
nv mothers Bible, l have sworn. God be-
ing my helper, that wild never drink an
other drop OF Intoxicating liquor"
He kept his pledge. His rescuer became
his wife. He was young man OF rare
talents, and 1t was not long before he be-
came widely known rs n brilliant writer.
His name was William Writ. He became
the Attorney G eneraf OF the United States,
and was once nominated for the Presi-
dency.
This little act gave to America one OF her
greatest lawyers. christian Inquirer.

A Sturdy and Cheerful Faith,

Faith is persuasive and even aggressive
In becoming sense and manner. That Is,
It means SO much to him that has 1t that
others should acknowledge his Lord that he
does his best, 80 far as he can tactfully and
effectively, to lay the claims OF the gospel
before all who have not accepted them. His
faith is broad and inclusive in its reach and
Its invitation. Believing that whatsoever
will may come to Christ, he acts upon this
level OF confidence. But 1t is noticeable
that his faith, positive and intense although
1t is, is neither harsh nor intolerant in spirit.
1t is tenderly sympathetic. 1t makes al
lowances for the shortcomings and frail-
ties OF others, remembering its own frequent
consciousness OF the need of pardon. Its
kindliness penetrates and wins where moth
ing else could enter. The faith OF such a
Christian always is growing. The longer
you watch 1t, the sturdier and cheerier it
becomes. 1t finds encouragement and
nourishment everywhere, even in what at
first seems forbidding and evil. And it
affords AN inward serenity which nothing
can seriously disturb and a power OF in
1uence to which no ordinary words can do
justice.

New Forests in England.

An English writer, in discussing
the question of the unemployed, sug.
gests that the waste lands of the United
Kingdom be planted with trees to in
sure a good supply of wood in the
near future. This visionary is wor-
ried by the wooden things imported
into England from America. He says:
ga visit to the docks elected deal OF
curious information. The manufac-
ture of such useful little articles as
clothes pegs, umbrella sticks, mouse
traps and skewers has almost ceased
in this country, yet the profit attach
ing to these goods must be consider

the timber, make the goods, pay the

same applies to oars-of which, at the

How We May Be With Jesus.

Imagination is given to US for the purpose
of furnishing US the means whereby we may
get ut the personal characters OF Gods mes
sage In Holy Writ. We read the Sermon on
the Mount. One way ia which to read it is
to get the meaning OF its propositions re-
garded purely as impersonal utterances.
But this Is not the better way. Let us
bring the Imagination into tine field. Let
us so with the crowd to the hills; let us
press into the inner circle OF the company Of
the Masters chosen friends as He sits to
teach them; let US hear Him speaking with
high authority and winsome persuasiveness,
not to the multitude or to the Twelve, but
to us. And we shall come from our Bible
reading rs from personal interview. We
have not gone through q solitary exercise
now. We have been with Jesus. Thi, is q
legitimate use Of the imagination, and We
neglect it too much. The ideal in oil
devotional reading is to get into per-
sonnl contact, through the imagina-
tIon, with our author, and this is
especially true when the book is the
Bible. What an unappropriated treasure
may be appropriated by using this method!
1t gives US the priceless opportunity to
meet In friendly council with the great
teachers Of our faith. 1t enables US to have
for our friends all the strong spirits Of the
sturdy ages. And, best Of oil, it enables us
to enter the inner circle OF the friends OF
Christ and sit with Him again in the upper
room.

Capturing Surge on in the Ural Mountains.

Capturing Sturgeon in the Ural Mountains.
To fish while mounted on the back
of horse probably would be beyond
the capacity of gentle Izaak Walton Of
delightful memory, yet that's the way
sturgeon is captured in the frozen
rivers of the Ural Mountains. Russian
Cossacks fish in large bands. They
gallop along until they reach the point
in the river where the current has its
swjftest flight. There they dismount
and cut into the, ice until they have
cleared small pool of water which
extends across the rapid current al
most from one bank of the river to
the other. A net is then sunk to the
bottom of the stream and stretched
across it at the open pool so that not
a single fish can swim beyond its
meshes. Then the horses are mounted
and the Cossacks turn lack and ride
along the edge of the river for about
four or five miles. Then the band
wheels about and gallops rapidly
along the ice.covered stream, making
a picture that would delight q Schreyer
or Fromentin. The loud cannonade
caused by the beating of the horses
hoofs on the surface of the ice terri
fes the sturgeon and they swim
quickly in advance of their pursuers,
tumbling finally in swarms into the
net that waits their capture.-London

"Pickling" Railroad Ties.

Ths ties on the Santa Fe track ara
"pickled" in a solution of chloride Of
salts of zinc. There are three or four
big "pickling" establishments at in
tervals along the road between Albu-
querque and Los Angeles. The pro-
cess makes a pine tie immortal. In
this dry atmosphere it lasts forever.
The Santa Fe tracks through the
deserts are sprinkled with oil to keep
down the dust, like the Pennsylvania
tracks between Philadelphia and At
lantic City and New York, and it is a
great blessing in this rainless coun-
try. The oil is renewed once in three
years. It costs $50 mile and it is
worth many times the money to the
PASSENGERS.

GODS MESSAGE TO MAN.
PREGNANT THOUGHTS FROM THE
WORLDS GREATEST PROPHETS.

If Christ Were Here ToniGht-How We
May Be With Jesus A Sturdy and
Cheerful Faith - Character the Most
Potent misunderstanding the Reality
II Christ were here tonight and saw me
And half afraid another step to take,
I think He'll know the thing my heart de-
sired
And ease that heart of all its throbbing
ache.
II Christ were here in this dull room OF mine
That gathers up so many shadows dim;
I am quite sure its narrow space would shine
And kindle into glory, around Him.
II Christ were here, I might not pray so long.
My prayer would have such little way to
'Twould break into burst OF happy song,
So would my joy and gladness overflow.
II Christ were here tonight, I'd touch the
o; hls ,air seamless robe, and stand COM
plete
In wholeness and in whiteness; I. who stem
Such waves Of puin, to kleel at His dear
feet.
L
The load carry for the ones love,
The blinded ones, who grope and faint and
fall,
Following false guides, not seeking Christ
above.
If Christ were here! Ah, faithless soul and
weak.
Is not the Master ever close to thee?
Deaf is thine eur, that can'st not hear Him
speak,
Dim is thine eye, His face that cannot see.
Thy Christ is here, and never far away,
He entered with thee when thou camest
in;
Ills siren 9Th was thine through all the busy
day,
He knew thy need, He keptthee pure from
sin.
Thy blessed Christ Is in thy little room,
Nay more, the Christ himself is in thy
heart;
Fear not, the dawn will scatter darkest
gloom,
And Heaven will be of thy rich life part.

tionalist.

Character the Most Potent Influence.

The question OF influence becomes impor-
tant as soon as one has consciously entered
upon the Christian life. More than ever he
appreciates the immense possibilities OF his
influence for both good and i'll. How is it
to be exerted? How can 1t BIZ made most
effective in aiding the work OF Christ in
other human hearts? His first impulse is
to testify in the name OF Christ to some
friend. Often he Is advised to do this. 1t may
be well that he do so. Certainly his testimony
ought to be given whenever and wherever it
seems likely to have weight But testimony
and appeal sometimes produce but little
effect Their sincerity is not doubted, but
the result is the same. 1t takes long time
to learn thoroughly that the most potent
religious influence Is that Of character.
Testimony and appeal too often fail because
anticipated. Those to whom they are offered
discount them to some extent beforehand
have an opportunity, as It were. to fortify
themselves In defence. Moreover they are
answerable. They permit and sometimes
prompt argument, and argument Is as likely
to confirm the opponent in his own convic-
ton as to convince him OF ours.

Cultivation of Grape Fruit.

Grape fruit has always been grown
in southern California, but only lately
has there been any demand for it. 1t
is practicallya new luxury. But prices
are high, the consumption is large and
many people are therefore going into
the business. A man named McGin-
mis-, near Pasadena, has twelve trees
from which he shipped last year fifty
nine boxes of grape fruit that brought
him an average of S. box. Thus far
the shipments of grape fruit from this
part of the country have been furnished
from a few scattering trees. There
has been no cultivation until the last
few years, but now the people are set
ting out extensive orchards and are
grating the trees upin skillful man
Ger to improve the fruit and increase
she Juice and reduce the percentage of
pulp.

A Significant Fact.

What a measure OF significant meaning
lies in the fact that so often in times Of
emergency and peril, rs in the case OF riots
and other pubic disturbances, one OF the
first acts OF the authorities Is to o-der the
closing OF all the saloons. This has been
done repeatedly in the mining regions In
recent yeurs when riotous proceedings
we're on foot, aud q similar measure has
been adopted nt various times by our
military commanders in Cuban cities. But
IL the saloon fills such a necessary place in
the life Of the world rs some would have US
believe. If it is, on the whole, an institution
that ought to be licensed aud tolerated
generally, why hould its influence be so
feared and dreaded in times OF public
peril? II 1t has an inherent and legitimate
place In the natural order Of things, why
should it's operations be suspended at any
time or anywhere? II the saloon works
any good in times OF peace, Why not IN
times OF war? We pause for reply.

Costly Wall Paper.

A vast sum of money can be paid for
a really choice wall paper. The most
costly wall paper ever designed is
metalled and lacquered, the lacquer
preventing the metal from becoming
tarnished by the atmosphere. The
paper which, unlike the cheaper wall
papers, is hung horizontally, and not
perpendicularly, is made in lengths of
twelve yards, and costs no less than
$50 per riece. The designs for these
expensive papers are by the leading
artists of the day, who receive heavy
fees, and the cost of metalling and
!acquering is really enormous, so that
the profit on a wall paper sold at s.
per yard is, after al, not very great.
1t is interesting to note that very often
the papers are mounted on calico and
placed upon the wall in such way
that when the tenant moves to another
mouse OF fiat, he may take his costly
wall paper with him. Detroit Free

Intuitfve Knowledge of the Ricols.

The Bicols in the Philippines are
miners by atavism. They lntuitively
know the contents of gold of the
quartz they raise, and un4iringly re-
iect barren stone. Using no tools
besides crowbars and wedges, with
out explosives and pumps, without
appliances worth the name except q
rough copy of the Mexican arrastra,
the natives have accomplished an in
credible amount of work. Near Para
Gale they have levelled hill to few
feet above sea level. They win the
gold by washing auriferous gravel and
sand and finely pounded quartz, and
their women are the cleverest gold
washers. Where the precious metal
is particularly fine, they do the last
washing in water to which the mucilag-
inous juice of native plant called
gogo has been added. This retains
the sand, but allows the gold to sink
to the bottom of the pan.

The Secret Drlnker.

The secret drinker Is no doubt injured In
the same way rs Others, and his foolish ef-
forts to conceal this act intensifes the In
Jury, which after II time breaks out In some
unexpected form, ending fatally. Tho
sudden, unexpected death OF persons pre-
vIously supposed to be well, has IN many
cases revealed the fact Of secret spirit
drinking Of many years duration, with de-
structon OF vitality and general decadence.
Life Insurance companies are often aware
OF this fact, and appeal for help, but 1t Is
exceedingly difficult to convict or prove
secret drinking in a man with large In
surance, aud more difficult after death to
bring out this fnct. The law in these cases
will seldom allow presumptive evidence;
1t must be dire ct and positive OF the use OF
spirits. Unmistakuble insanity is present
In some cases, seen in the usual cunning
and wise calculation TO procure spirits and
conceal its ects.-Chrstiun Work.

Randall was circling around in the

of the beast it sprang with scream
upon his back. The cat struck Ran
dali with such force as to knock him
down. ediately the two dogs flew
at the animal to protect their master,
and terrific rough -and-tumble fight
followed. The dogs made it so hot
for the cat that it ran up another tree.
