notebook in which he is to write down
every interesting missionary fact he
reads or hears.
One of the best helps for the study
Of temperance is temperance scrap

poems. accounts from the daily papers
Of xbe evils wrought by strong drink,
and the like. Before any scrap is ac-

before the society and voted on.
For training in good citizenship, try
a presidents meeting to study lessons
from the lives Of the presidents, giving
each Junior an anecdote to tell, and
asking him to draw a lesson from It.

Joy in Sorrow.

All moral suffering contains or car
ries with it what may be called an ele-
ment of compensation, in virtue of
which it is Transmitted to a deeper
joy. May It not even be said that the
deepest, intensest kind Of happiness is
ever that which has an element of pain
in It? Is there any one who has ever
borne toll or pain or sorrow for the
sake of those whom he dearly loves
who does not know that there is a
strange sweetness in that very sor-
row, a subtle joy that thrills through
and masters all the anguish, and turns
it by spiritual alchemy into the pur-
est bliss a human heart can know. And
with this thought in our minds, is
there not a way in which we can dis
Germ in the person Of Christ not a
being who stripped or emptied Him
self of HIS essential divinity in order
to share in the weakness and suffering
Of humanity, but a manifestation Of

nature, and in the whole life of the
Man Of Sorrows, in His earthly lowli-
ness and meanness, in His mortal
weakness, grief and sorrow, His lone
Illness and forsakenness, His drinking
Of the cup Of suffering to the dregs,

conduct lodged by an umpire with
President johnson. The reason is
plain. Mr.. Tebeau is as much intent
on winning games as he was last year,
but he realizes that in case he goes be-
yond bounds in protesting against de-
cisions which he may consider unfair,
he will be directly answerable to the
president Of the league. Wilmot's
conduct at ST. Paul deserved far more
severe punishment than was melted out

sponsible for depriving 1000 patrons

Backing the Brooklyns.

to the tune Of $500 to $500, the old I'm
pire John Kelley, favoring the Bostons,
he betting $500 to $500 that they will
head the list next October. Corbett
watched the Brooklyns play against
Philadelphia, and their three straight
victories over the Phillies, while short
the service Of Jennings, Dahlen and
Jones, gave him the cue for his wager.
In the last four games played by the
Washington team in Brooklyn, the
Washington batsmen gave SO chances
for catches and the Brooklyns AZ. In
the record of runners forwarded by
base hits Brooklyn led by the total Of
% to IT. Out of Al base hits made by
Brooklyn only % forwarded runners,

the four games no less than 10 double
plays were made by Brooklyn.

Man has discovered food. medicine
ink, jewelry and many other useful
things in the sea, but until recently
almost anyone would have laughed at
the suggestion that material for SILK
dress could be found growing in the
sea- Scientists have found, however,
that the pirma fish, shellfish found in
the Mediterranean sea, secretes silk
similar to that which the silkworm
makes its shroud of and like that with
which the spider makes it's web This
secretion is used by the pirma to at
tach itself to the rocks. For this pur-
pose the silk is deposited in large guam
titles. This substance is gathered by
fishermen, is washed in soap and wa
ter, is dried and carded and finally spun
into thread, which has an attractive
golden brown color and is soft and lus-
terful. In Sicily this silk is often made
into handsome fabrics and garments.

A Pittsburs Outfielder.

Thomas L. McCreery, one of the out
fielders of the Pittsburg Club, made a
grand record in the early part of the
race. His splendid batting and sensa-
tional fielding were featured in the re-
ports Of the games of the Pirates ini-
ttal series in Cincinnati and st. Louis.
He became a favorite of the fans in
this city and some of his pyrotechnical
catches were cheered to the echo. His
excellent Judgment and great sprint
ing enabled him to turn several incip-
lent home runs into outs. McCreery
made his debut with the Louisville

if such things are done often
chronic rheumatism is likely to result,
or the poison may attack some weak
spot in the system and chronic sickness
fasten upon the victim. On the sane
principle it is necessary to keep the
body clean in order that the pores may
not become clogged. Persons who per-
spire easily and freely keep clean and
healthy with less bathing than those
who rarely have drops of perspiration
on them. Workmen who toll in the;
heat and sweat keep in good health by
their perspiration, for they usually
have little time or inclination for bath
ing. The odor that comes from gar
ments that have been in use for some
time without renovation is the odor of
the refuse which the pores have dis
charged-the poison which would cor
rupt the body if it were allowed to re-
main in the system.

The CATHEDRAL of Hildesheim, in Ger
many, is noted for having what is saids
to be the oldest rose tree in the world.
The tree is the wild rose Of Europe
and is credited with an age of 1000
years. Though the tree proper has
died in spots and former principal
trunks have been supplanted from CEN
fury to century by new ones, the an
cient root of the tree has remained the
same, giving nourishment to genera
ton after generation of roses. The
latest report regarding this famous
tree related that the stem was nearly
twenty-seven feet high and that its
branches covered a space thirty-two
feet in diameter.

Bread Made from Unground Wheat.
We have been so long accustomed to
eating bread made from -four that the
Thought Of bread without -four seems
absurd. But the Germans have discov-
cred a way Of making bread directly
from wheat as It comes from the husk.
After the wheat has been thoroughly
sifted and cleaned it is soaked in tepid
water for several hours. Then it Is
poured into a machine which mashes it
into a paste. Then it is shaped into
loaves and baked. This bread, called
"antispire," is very brown and pala-
table, and it is said that it never gets
moldy and will remain fresh for many
days. This real wheat bread is be-
lieved to be more nourishing and more
easily digested than the ordinary
"white'' bread.

How the Pores May Poison.

Summer days are dangerous to active
persons who are inclined to be
thoughtless as we'll. For instance, how
often a boy will get overheated in a
game of ball and then hurry to the river
and go swimming! Let me tell you
what medical science has shown to be
the result of so thoughtless an action.
The boy is poisoned! Yes, as certainly
poisoned as if he had taken a dose of
trough on rats only the first dose
rarely kills him. One Of the most i'm
portant functions Of the skin is it's
method Of discharging through the
pores (the millions of minute canals
that the skins of humans possess) va
rious refuse substances that would
poison the body if they remained in the
system. When person becomes heat
ed, moisture oozes from the pores in
noticeable quantities, but in health the
pores are continually discharging ref
use matter in the form of moisture,
even if 1t is not noticeable Now if one
is very warm and leaps into cold water
the delicate nerves Of the skin are
paralyzed for a time, the refuse that
should come through the pores remains
in the body, for the pores fail to work.
The result may be only a twinge OF

True f0nitence has no room for

proud OF anything else, are yet proud
that they have repented.
Many fail to express repentance, not
because they are ashamed Of the sin,
but because it seems to them weak
to confess it.
We should train ourselves to the ex-
preston Of repentance by using every
opportunity to say how sorry we are
for any fault, however trivial. This
will make repentance for our greater
sins easier Tor US.
No true D.aitent will seek to make

a Truo Man

Could we only see the Man In men
We know, and what grace and lowell
ness lie within, our conscience would
often sn1ite us with knotted whips for
the TOO evil things we had thought of
some and the too good things we had
imagined Of others.
We might not so often sheer at a
"nigger" or scorn a beggar. The best
Of manhood is all in the dark to US,
till we have seen through the thick
earthenware in which the treasure is
How he feels and behaves toward
the smallest creatures; what he will
do for a weak child and for feeble old
age; which Is the more dreadful to
him, to face the pain in his own limbs
or the pain Of q tender baby's; which
he would use his strength for, his
own happiness or the happiness Of the
helpless; in what is his deepest de-
light, in what his deepest sorrow-
these determine how much of man
there Is in those bodies that we see.
Call no man a man who is not a
helper, a defender, a protector. Man
was marked and registered at his crea-
ton to be like his Creator, who is
Love. A man looks out upon his lit
tie world as God looks out upon His
greater world. In his family he is
not his own; he is his family's; he
lives for it; he opens his hands and
supplies the wants Of every living
thing in It. A canary's hunger in its
cage in his window is his hunger;
how much more his baby's. And he
is proud to provide for his shriveled,
bent old father, sitting In the chimney
corner all day.
A man is a faithful soul. Like a
soldier to his country, he Is faithful
to all who look to him for defense,
and he is faithful unto death.
Some men Gas we call them for con-
venience) are nightly clever, but ter
ribly mean; and some are simple,
humble men, but right loyal and no.
BILE Of soul. They do nothing wonder
full or startling; only every day their
greatness steals out of them into their
looks and words and deeds in little
ways which their children see and
nestle up to, which have their origin
in heaven, and are divine.-Rev. Ben

Plant Sculpture Among the Japanese

Plant Sculpture Among the japanese
Plant sculpture is new art to Amer
leans. The Japanese have practiced it
for many years and ha,e accomplished
some wonderful things of the kind. The
Hex plant has proved to be most sus-
ceptible to training for the purpose. It
has thick, strong roots, from which
thousands Of shoots of green covered
with small white petals grow. When the
plant is young the japanese gardener
takes it in hand and directs the tender
shoots in the way they should go to
produce examples of plant sculpture.
AS the stems grow stronger they re-
tain the form given to them by the.
gardener, with the result that a full
grown Hex plant in a Japanese garden
is likely to consist of a collection Of
vegetable birds and animals and SYM
bols Of all sorts.

Tie Winds.

We come. we come! and we feel our
might,
AS were Fastening on in our boundless
flight,
And over the mountains and over the
deep
Our broad, invisible pinions sweep,
Like the spirit of Liberty, wild and free!
And We look on our works, and own tbs
we;
Ye call us the Winds; but can We tell
Whittier we go, or where we dwell?
Ye mark, as we vary our forms of power,
And fell the forests, fan the flower,
When the harebell moves, and the rush
is bent,
When the towers o'erthrown. and the
oak is rent,
AS we watt the bark DER the Slunber-
ing wave,
Or hurry it's crew to watery grave;
And We say it is we!-but can We trace
The wandering winds to their secret
place?
Or come in a soft and balmy sigh,
Our threatenings fill the soul with fear,
Or our gentle whisperings WOO the ear
With music aerial, still it's we.
And We list and we look; but what do We
see?
Can We hush one sound of our voice to
peace,
Or waken one note when our numbers
cease?
Our dwelling is in the Almighty's hand;
We come and we go at his command.
Though joy or sorrow may mark our
track,
His will is our guide, and we look not
back;
And if, in our wrath We would turn US
away,
Or win us in gentle airs to play,
Then lift up your hearts to Him who
binds
Or frees, as he will, the obedient winds.

modern envelopes were unknown. Cor

museum will bear the name of Brook

be the first of its kind in America,
though such places have formed part
of the educational systems of several
European countries. When equipped the
museum will contain natural history
and science specimens, plates and pic
lures relating to art and science, and
particularly adapted to children. AL
ready the director has secured a series
of ITO beautifully colored and designed
sets of pictures illustrating in detail
the making of glass, paper, cloth,
bronze and so forth.
