Estimates of Usefulness.

VI SoSIuihOSS'
1t is not possible to know just how
much good may result from any act
we may do, or from any influence
that we may exert. Our duty is to
keep the heart right, the purpose
strong and then have confidence in
our usefulness. Nothing good can be
instances the parents influence
may not be seen in the conduct
of the child, but by and by it will
appear and bear its good fruit. How
many a man has been saved by a
mothers influence long after the
mother had gone forever from the
dear old home
We must not look too soon for the
indications upon which we can begin
to form our estimates. 1t requires
years for some vines planted in GER
tain places to take on a thrifty growth.
Sometimes our usefulness courses
along unseen, like the waters of the
mountain spring, before it comes to
the surface where it can be recognized
and enjoyed by every passer-by.
1t will not do to narrow our useful
ness to individuals; for the influence
of kind act, noble deed, like the
fragrance of the flowers, will be shed
everywhere and over everything.
Would it not be wiser and nobler to
spend little time Jon such estimates,
but fill up life with efforts to be al
ways doing good? "He who waits to
do a great deal OF good at once will
never do any. Good is done by de-
grees.n

How to Control Temper.


When Robert Hall was boy he
had very passionate temper He
knew that he ought to try to conquer
it, so he resolved that whenever he
felt his temper rising he would run
away to another room, and kneeling
down would use this short prayer,
80! Lamb of God, calm my mind" So
completely was he enabled by the
help that he thus found to overcome
this sin he grew up to be man of
remarkably gentle temper.
Calm me, my God, and keep me calm,
Soft resting on thy breast;
Soothe me with holy hymn and psalm
And bid my spirit rest.
Calm in the sufferance of wrong,
Like him who bore my shame
Calm mid the threatening ,taunting throng
Who hate thy holy name.
-BoNAR.
Some glances of real beauty NAV be

meekness. There is harmony in the

pearance of right order in their tenn

egulated.-John Woolman.

There is great necessity of Heaven;

What would it profit one to cult
vate garden if one were not con
stantly reminded thereby to cultivate
oneself, and were not aided by the one
in doing of the other? Partnership
with nature admonishes one to be
continuously patient, to trust and
hope, to have implicit faith in capac-
ity of time to work wonders, to put
up with disappointments and often
repeated failure, cheerfully to try
again. In the word, the right cult
walton Of a garden teaches one equa-
nimity. AS a rule, wien nature
disappoints your expectations, it will
turn out on due inquiry that you
have not treated her fairly.

MI. Brran,s Ideas.

Bryan is once more a target for the
gold standard press Of Chicago, says
the Kansas City Times. First his posi-
ton on the money question was mis-
represented in their dispatches from
the Iowa democratic convention, and
with this Misrepresentation as a basis
they proceed to accuse him Of back
tracking and catering to public senti-
meDt- The Times Herald seems to be
actually grieved because Bryan should
recognize the trusts and imperialism
as issues which should be discussed in
the national platform Of 1900. "As
regards the silverites themselves, says
the Herald, cit would be more
creditable If they were TO acknowledge
openly that when they say 'on such
issues We can win they mean also that
on silver they would lose"
What a mastery editorial concep-
ton is this! Suppose the republican
party should put nothing whatever in
its platform except a declaration for
the gold standard and 90 before the
country IN presidential campaign.
How many states would Mckinley
carry?
Up to this time the republican char
ges against Bryan have been limited to
working the charges on the complaint
that he is a man Of one idea. He has
met that silly charge by forcible as
Ssults on the trusts and 71nanswaraI,Ie
arguments against Imperialism. And
now fault is found with him because
he Is not man Of one idea, but q poll
tician whose sole concern is show to
catch the foreign vote" Bryan was
never built to please republican news
papers 1t is all the same whether he
advances only one idea in a speech or
too many, none Of them gives any re-
publican consolation.

UnIled =. sultan.


The United States now ha among
its citizens a genuine sultan. He has
only u wives and the government viii
pay him 5000 a year to be good.
For a salary Of $50 per month Mex
lean money! and some other slight con
siderations the Sultan Of Sulu has
come under the protection Of the Am
eriean flag and accepted this govern
ment as the power which will hereafter
control his affairs. Gen. John G. Bates
negotiated the treaty by which the sui
tan makes himself and his people sub
jeets Of the United States. To assist
in making the treaty Gen. Bates carried
with him to Sulu $4,000. The sultan
rules about 10000 people, who are
called MorOs. They are Mohamme-
dams, so that this government now adds
to its Zuni, or sun worshippers, its
snake worshippers and the Indian ad-
orers Of the Great Spirit, the Mosiem.
The Moros we're until the treaty of
Paris subjects Of Spain, but had been
\ at war with that government for %
years. They are considered the bravest
and most warIike Of the tribes Of the
Philippine group. The sultan is a
young man with q number Of wives
His harem contains a large collection
Of women who bow to his will Among
his subjects are a number of religious
fanatics who think the shortest road
to glory is to die with a sword in their
hand and a record for killing Chris
tian or several Christians. The United
States, besides paying the sultan a sal
ary for coming under the government
peaceably, pays 500 q year to his heir
and $500 q year each to his three cOUn-
cilors. The bargain is considered an
admirable one-much cheaper than
cOnquering with an army.

what did be have to say? Silver was

give only fair satisfaction on account
Of age, poor health, and lack Of care,
while 20 per cent give good satisfaction
Dr. Thomas has a method Of his own
by which he can make a plate stick
tightly in any mouth. And to this is
due his wonderful success in this line.
The above statement is no guess
work, but they are facts which can be
substantiated by the hundreds Of peo-

refute the statement so frequently
