NY PRAYER.

BY DANIEL GARRETT BOXERS
Dear Lord, I do not care to thrill the
world with winning witchery VI
words,
do not care to mar aud mysfity
thy word with magic mRrvels or
the s~peakers's art;
/ would not jIggle with thy gospeIs
truth, nor seek TO add by thy
weak adoraments to its charms,
But let me take one living, glowing
coal from eff thine altar, and
burn it TO some inmost hearth
D Jar Lord, I do not crave to owe the
mighty, mingling multitude at
will,
And mould The minds Of men to
make them think my thoughts,
and feel my sentiments, and
wed my c-eeds;
I would not have them hang upon my
words, and weep and smile IN
sympathy with all my moods
But let me lead, with living words
and loving heart, one life to
brighter paths and better deeds /!

LUCK"

The boy who's always wishing
That this or that might be,
But never tries his metgle,
Is the boy that's bound to see
HIS plans all come to failure,
HIS hopes end in defeat,
For that's what comes when wishing
And working fail to meet.
The boy who wishes this thing
0 that think with q will
That spurs him on TO action,
And keeps him trying still
WhsE effort meets with failure,
Will some day surely win;
For he works out what he wishes,
And that's where luck" comes IN.
TIE luck" that I believe in
Is that which comes with work,
And no one ever finds it
Who's content TO wish and shlrk.
The men the world C lis ''lucky"
Will tell you, every one,
That success comes not by wishing,
But by hard work, bravely done.

SOme weeks ago we referred to a
hearEless statement from q liquor AS
ISOLATION, about creating an appetite
for liquor among the boys. We give
the advice Ia full as it was delivered IN
an address bafore the Liquor League Of
Ohio: Fine open field for the creation
of this CiqIor) appetite is among the
boys. Atser men are grown and their
habits are formed, they rarely ever
change In shis regard. Ii will be need
full, therefore, that missionary work be
done among the boys, and l make the
suggestion, gentlemen, that nIckles
expended In treats to the boys now
will return in dollars to your Till after
the appetite has been formed. Above
all things Create appetiteI'
And thus these cold blooded and
brutal sRloonists set their traps for the
unwary feet of our own children.

PILING MONEY.

In Philadelphia there is a building
known as the Mint. IL belongs to the
United States Government, and is the
place where the Government man
features money money factory.
The silver and gold are put in bags in
order that the money may be trans
ported more easily. Before the money
is put in the bags it is counted, and
the amount in the bags is registered on
the bags. There are thousands Of these
bags, and they must be kept COnven.
iently and securely uatil people want
to buy the money, for the Government
sells this money. To pile these bags
in the treasury vault is not easy.
They cannot be thrown in; they must
be go arranged "a to be easily removed,
and in the amounts needed. A man
has learned to do this 30 we'll that he
is called an expert. The bags, if not
properly arranged, would slide down
and push other roTs Iu5 Of order or
cause them TO fall, and the men would
be injured. This man has learned to
CO his work so well that the rows are
like a stone fence, and the bags can
only be removed from the top rows -

sUPRRsr1rloUs FILIPINos.

The inherent Fl citing qualities of the
Filipino soldiers are augmented by the
artlfces of their leaders. Their super
stitiors r played upon by giving
them amulets. Some of these have the
likeness Of Aguinaldo engraved upon
them, Rnd all promise immunity from
death to the credulous wearers. Those
who : KILLED, of course, are past
complaining; those who escaped death
have their faith in the talismau con-
firmed. They are desperate fighters,
after their own fashion. and compass
marches On rations INSULT ;i9nt to keep
az American soldier alive. An occa
sional handful of rice, supplemented
by a chance frog or a mud fish, amply
satisfy their hunger. and of the incon-
t reliable thirst which tortures Euro
pean soldiers they appear to know
nothing.

This book is a thoroughly practical
treatise devoted mainly to the care and
culture of the commoner kinds of
flowers. The author tells what kinds
Of plants to choose, how to care for
them, all about soil, watering, light,
temperature, and how to guard against
injury by insects of various kinds.
There are chapters also On flowers for
the lawn, how to arrange them to the
the best advantage, the laying out Of
the lawn, a chapter on table decora
ration, and, in fact such information as
any person who cares for flo wers
should have at hand for direction and

thoroughly covered, the language used
is plain, simple and free from any tech
