LITTLE THINGS.

Henry S. Webster, in Boston Transcript.
Well said an Eastern sage that it is not
On mountains, but On anthills that we
trip,
Needs but grain to make nation rot !;
And from the factory where human
thought
Is fashioned for the service of the lip,
All power of reason and of sense may
slip
At the supreme insistence of dot.
And true it Is, In spite OF must creeds,
When at the dreadful judgment hour
we stand,
To hear and heed our Makers last
command,
Our sole reliance Will be little deeds,
The loving touch at which a lorn heart
smiled,
The cup Of water given to a child.

A Simple Test Of Drinking Water

Selected.
An inquiry has been made as to a
simple test tor the presence of sewage
in water. All drinking water should
be tested in town or country frequently,
as there are other impurities besides
sewage which are quite as deadly, aud
every cistern OF water is liable to be a
source Of blood poisonlng-mice, rats
and other pests must have water, and
many case of typhoid is set up by such
as these falling into the cistern and
remaining there for months In de-
composed state. To detect this i'm
pure condition is very simple and un-
failing. Draw tumbIer OF water from
the tap at night, put piece of white
lump sugar into it and place 1t on the
kitchin mantle-shelf or anywhere
that the temperature will not be under
SO degrees Fahr In the morning the
water, If pure, will be perfectly clear
if contaminated by sewage or other i'm
prrlties, the water will be milky. This
is a simple and simple test, we'll known
in chemistry.

Essential to Prosperity.

I. L NJ. Curry.
General education Is essential to
progress it has the highest economi-
cal value it is the grand means for
developing Or increasing natural re-
sources 1t is the producer OF wealth
Agriculture, manufacturing, mechan'
ic arts, all internal improvements, are
the creations Of intelligence. Contri
buttons to human welfare have come
from knowledge. Brute force is waste
fui, unproductlve. Cultivated mine

crude materials into useful fabric!

there is sentiment of unquestlonable
love to the mother country on the part
of large proportion Of the population,
many OF the French Canadians even
eharing in it. 1t is true, some OF the
younger Canadian men grow restless at
the idea that if their coast is threaten
ed England must defend it or that if
war goes on within their borders Eng
land must manage the matter yet
these same leaders among the young
thinkers have no idea OF simply escap-
ing the leading strings of the mother
in order to perform political marriage
with ourselves. Every day sees that
become remoter possibility, and eve
ry day sees an increase In Canada's in
ternal strength.
If, therefore, in the past we have
consoled ourselves with vague ideas
that it would be wise to annex terri
tory larger than our own, it will per-
haps now be we'll to dismiss the idea
altogether from our minds. It takes
two to make bargain and at the cru
cial moment Canada will be found un-
willing. A powerful neighbor is des-
tined to develop on our northern from
tier with rapidity even greater than
that which we haye enjoyed. 1t may
be interesting In next week "Thoughts"
to theorlze as to what that development
will mean both in relation to the
mother country and the world at large.

He Wrongs Himself Most. VIII
Wrongs Another.

Virginian-Pilot.
In 1879, a great and good man, the
Rev. DR.. Moses D. Hoge, now deceased,
said IN public speech from the steps
of the State Capitol that "That which
is morally wrong can never be pollti
cally right" That is a great truth,
though it may be mistakenly applied
and they who ponder it will surely
grow in wisdom and virtue. But what
has morality to do. with politics? Will
be asked. Politics, perhaps, may have
nothing to do with morality, yet moral
ity has deal to do with politics; in
condemnation and punishment, if moth
Ing else and the terrible French Rev.
olution OF 1889 and 1898, with its Reign
of Terror and Blood, was the moral
penalty, as it was the logical conse-
ouence, of the political regime that
preceded it.
The vengeance OF men and the wrath
of God may be delayed, or postponed !;
but they who go on violating the eter-
nal laws of truth and right are only
laying up wrath against the day OF
wrath. 1t must be so; for, consider,
all the laws OF nature are in accord and
absolute unison, and, as any diver
gence from right or straight line will
grow in divergence the longer and fur
| ther continued, so any departure from
truth and justice grows worse and
worse the longer persisted in and the
further carried and as consequences
are determined by their antecedents or
causes, so are wrong and evil sure, not
only morally, but naturally and logi-
cally, as of absolute necessity, even
though we ignore the overruling PROV
ldence of just God.
"Woe unto the world because OF Of
fences! for it must needs be that Of
fences come; but woe to that man by
whom the offence cometh !"
! Temptations come to all, but all are

Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my to God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
There let the way appear
Steps unto heaven
All that thou send'st me
In mercy given
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee

Bright with thy praise,
