A TYPE OF THE BELIEVER.
Dible Character That Reminds L.. In
nuence Is Not Always In Pro-
portion TO Distinction.

We draw many of our most useful
Christian lessons from the study of
individuals. Ii is surprising how much
significance there is in some lives of
which little is recorded. Barnabas is
case in point. Very few illusions to
him exist. We know that he was q
native of Cyprus and Levite. and that
he sold field and gave the money for
the use of the needy, that he was sent
by the Jerusalem church to that at An
tioch to report about great in
gathering there, and that later he was
specially set apart for missionary
work with the apostle Paul. The sub
stance of what is known about him is
summed up in the statement that he
was "a good man, full of the Holy
Ghost and of faith" We can infer with
out risk of error that, like many a
Christian man and woman of to-day,
he was unassuming, but active, self
sacrificing and always ready TO do
whatever was in his power in the Chris
tian service of Others, a man of devout
spirit and of practical efficiency in the
church and the community at large.
The type which he illustrated can be
seen in almost any of our churches to-
day. Such character reminds us that
influence is not always in proportion
10 distinction. In many a church the
real leader, the principal spiritual CEN
ter and source of the church's activity
and devotion, is not the minister or any
official, but some man or woman so
venerated for answering aud conse-
Grated integrity as to possess power
in church and community unequaled
by that of anyone else. Yet such a per-
son may be unknown beyond the locali-
~. From it goes forth his influence, in
direct, but real, through everyone who
energies from it and mingles with pop
ular life and action elsewhere. And
such modest source many a time has
been known TO send forth stream of
power which worked great results at
the other side of the world.-Boston

Useful Bon voyage GIFT.

If you have ever noticed how forget
full and bewildered people become when
packing a satchel you will not smile at
the useful little parting token quick
witted niece gave her aunt. 1t was
simply card some four inches long
and three inches wide, on which was
neatly written an enumeration of the
necessary and desirable articles that
should go into a satchel. Besides full
list of toilet implements it included
soap. scissors, court plaster, corkscrew,
needles, thread, clothes brush, Irvine,
boot laces, collar buttons, small mir
ror, address book and pencil.-Wom-

Christianity aud Theology.

One of the most unfortunate mis-
takes ever made by the Christian
church was to slide into the habit of
identifying Christianity with theol-
ogy. We have had brains given us
to use, and there are no themes that
so magnifcently challenge mans
intellectual powers as the themes that
associate themselves with religions
and with the Christian religion. But
even so theology is not Christianity.

There is a rabbit craze in southern
California. The people around Los
Angeles have taken to breeding Belgian
hares, and it is expected that big for

disposed of; its pelt is to be made into
sealslin sacques, its fur into hatsand
other things are TO be done with it..
There are coo "rabbitries" around Los
Angeles already, and over 10000 high

SALT LAKE CITY.

No one crossing the continent can
afford to cut Salt Lake City from his
route. The attractions of the place, in
cluding the Mormon Temple, Tabern-
acle and Church institutions, the Great
Salt Lake-deader and denser than the
Dead Sea in the Holy Land-the pic
turesque environment and the Warm
Sulphur and Hot Springs, are greater
to the square yard than any locality on
the American continent.
The Rio Grande Western Railway,
connecting on the East with the Dem
yer & Rio Grande and Colorado Mid
land Railways and on the West with
the Southern Pacific Central Route)
and Oregon Short Line, is the only
transcontinental line passing directly
through Salt Lake City. The route
through Salt Lake City via the Rio
Grande Western Railway lis famous all
the year around. On account of the
equable climate of Utah and Colorado
it is just as popular in winter as In
summer. Send &c to E. COPELAND. 215

Baden-PovveII's Pets.

There are few people in the heart Of
London who keep bees, but the Baden
Powells stand absolutely alone in hav-
ing an apiary In their drawing room.
Baden-Powell, 1t will be remembered,
has distinguished himself in many
ways in the present South African
war. In the Baden- -powells' drawing
room, surrounded by costly works of
art and priceless bric-a- brac, standing
on ornamental alabaster pedestals
close to Il great organ which takes up
all one wall of a lofty room overlook
ing Hyde park, are two large straw
beehives with glass windows that al
low the bees to be seen at work within.
OF course the bees do not fly about
the room, but they escape into the out
side world through pipe leading out
of window. These bees ere truly
wonderful insects, the aristocracy Of
their kind and they ara made to do
much work which bees uncontrolled by
such an ingeni-ds mind as that of
Colonel Baden Powell have never
dreamed Of.
Wooden models of various objects,
esuch as a bicycle, for instance, are
placed in their hive, and the bees build
their honeycomb upon them in the ex-
act shape required. At the present
time they are busy building a wax
model of the colonels bombproof quar-
ters at Mafeking.

Decorations and Garnishings

Even slender purses can afford the
luxury of few flowers for the table in
the season of flowers, and no table
should be without them. They are so
restful, so gratefully inspiriting, when
one is tagged, hot or tired by general
weather conditions. A Towering plant
may be substituted for cut flowers ac-
ceptably, bot whether plant or flow
ers be used only those without heavy
odors should be chosen. 1t is wonder
full how pretty and tasteful a table
may be made with the plainest table
service if the cloth is we'll laundered
each article arranged with care and
order and there is added the trans
forming touch of a bunch of bloom
Even a knot of field daisies sets a seal
of refinement upon a table which is
not to be disputed. In summer it costs
but trifle to add pretty garnishings
to various dishes, and certainly such
touches add to their actual enjoyment.

Hnrt Talks on baseball.

James A Hart of the National
leagues rules committee does not fa-
vor the agitation for shortening the
distance between the home plate and
the pitchers slab. He does, however,
suggest some changes akin to those
originally made by him which first con.
verted the caught tip foul to a strike
with the pitcher up against the bat and
later back against the grand stand.
II believe that it will be good thing
to make three fouls a strike where
they come between strikes" said he
the other day. "That would stop this
fouling of Thomas and McGraw and
quicken the game and increase bat
ting. Now three bunt strikes are out,
and a bunt going foul is called a strike.
1t would be little harder to keep track
of the fouls between strikes"
He continued: 81 would reduce the
number of balls allowed pitcher from
four to three. Then he could not waste
so many and would have to pitch for
the plate. Now he wastes the first one
and maybe two working for the man
stealing. / would cut out allowing a
man to take first base on being hit, and
by making three fouls a strike this
would even up"

when Pee1ing Onions.

The pungent odor of the onion is due
to sulphurous oil which volatilizes
rapidly when the tissue of the vegeta-
BILE is broken in any manner and espe-
ctally affects the delicate membranes
surrounding the eyes. This effect, how
ever, can be easily avoided by sticking
a small pared potato on the end of the
knife with which the cutting is done.
A chemical affinity which cannot be
readily explained. but which is none
the less satisfactory in it's workings. at
tracts the fumes and their presence is
not manifested to the operator till the
potato has reached a certain degree of
saturation, when it can be readily re-
placed by another.
