The sixteenth century is that in
which the walking stick became not
merely useful implement, but an ar
ticle of fashion. dignity and luxury In
the seventeenth century it was gold
headed and made of rare woods. Ii was

For long period there was little
variety among EngliShmen in the ma
terial used for the majority Of walking
sticks. The ''oaken towel, as il was
pleasantly termed when an enemy was
TO be rubbed down, shared popular

among rural folk especially. was much
valued and classic from the conflict in

A GREETING FROM MINNESOTA.


Dear Brothers and Sisters OF my First
Church Home: Very tender were the
memories awakened by the kind invita-
tion / received day or two since. 1t
was like the child who has long been
wanderer, receiving for the flfst time in
years, letter from home. Your church
has always been very dear to me, and
while my mother lived, often heard of
your welfare, but since she left, to join
the harmonies of the upper temple, /
have heard nothing from you. Probably
very few Of you would remember me
now, after an absence of 80 years. But
It is 80 sweet to feel that we are all one
In Christ Jesus, and are engaged in the
same work. Of trying to win souls to Him.
Enclosed / send ''greetiDg" from my
heart. shall be with you in spirit, and
with my prayers.
To the dear old church OF my earliest days.
Where my infant lips learned their first note
of praise,
Where first began my Redeemer 10 love,
And turned toward the home that is waiting
above
The church OF my parentsl For many long
years,
Through sunshine and shadow through smiles
and through tears,
They worshiped Thee here, o thou Saviour
divine,
The God Of my father-my mother-and mine.
When publicly sealed to the Lord my vows,
u m
home too,
To be loved as such, all my pilgrimage
through.
Far from its dear shelter I've wandered awav,
But the God of my youth has still been my
stay,
In another church home. now work for Him.
With the prayer that my light may never
burn dim.
My father and mother, dear friends whom L
loved,
And worshiped with there, Oh how many
have moved
To the temple above, tn join the refrain,
And swell the glad chorus, "To Him that was
slaiu.'
But others have risen to take their place here,
The worK goes right on. with no reason for
feaI,
since our Head eyer lives, His church must
live too,
For His presence is pledged to carry us
through.
SO from the far west, would greet you to- dav.
Dear church of my youth, for your welfare /
pray,
Across the broad pIairies, I ask your warm
hand,
For, some in Chlist Jesus" together we stand
Yes, you, there In your sphere. and 1, here in
mine.
For tho Master we love, must let our light
shine.
The East and the West, Tor our Jesus wen
claim,
And laoor and pray till they own His dear
name.
And when all the days OF our warfare are DER
Wen join the loved throng who have gone on
before,
With the churc triumphant, His praises re
peat,
And cast all our trophies. with joy, at Hi
/ feet.

TRUE to the end of the year as it prevail
ed in January and February, the total
capitalization of Industrial combinations
inc0i porated in 1899 will reach the extra
ordinary sum of 600 900, 900. The COM
panies Incorporated in JaIuary and Feb
ruary represent a capital of 81, 106, 300
600, as compared with only $9l6, 900, 900
IN The whole of 1898. There is reason to
believe on account of the measure of sue
cess which the promoters have achieved,
that the total in the other months of the
year will not be proportionately less
than in January aud February.
