Few men know themselves to be
proud. If they knew themselves, they
would not be proud. If a man has a
great conceit of himself, he is almost
certain to think slightingly of other
men, to 'set all others at naught"
True prayer is one OF the chief cor
receives Of pride, because it brings one
face to face with the sinless God. The
sailor that is too confident to look at
the compass, the engineer too self-as-
sured to look at the timetable, the
scholar too conceited to look at the

proud man that will not acknowledge
his dependence upon God. 1t is good
for a man never to compare himself
in any way with other men, but only
with Christ.
The Pharisee is the man that talks
about our class" "out set; the Pub
lican knows that he belongs to only
one class-that OF the sinners. The
Pharsee is insincere even in thanking
God that he is not as other men are;
in reality he thanks himself Inc Pub
lican thanks God that other men are
not as he. The Pharisee thinks about
what he has done; the Publican, about
what God will do with him. The Phar-
isee and the Publican use the same
forms; for the first, they are tinsel for
the second, they are food The Phari-
see keeps account of the good deeds he
has done; the Publican of the good
deeds he leaves undone.

The Halo of Purity.

In town in France a boy notable
for his beautiful and sanity face was
selected to impersonate st. John in
the paschal procession on Easter day.
Years passed and that boy became the
assassin of President Carnot. Ma
poleon Bonaparte was once asked what
was the happiest day of his life. lie
thought moment, and replied: The
happiest day of my life was when | re-
ceived my first communion" Faces
that have lost their light sad to say,
are found everywhere. Not always, but
too often, the fact means that the di-
vine light has gone out of life. 1t
is said that the author of There s
a Light in the Window for Thee
missed the blessing that he sang and
of the ancient Hebrew worship, The
fire shall ever be burning upon the
altar; 1t shall never go out" The ra-
dance of soul inspired with the high
est and hottest ideals was what the old
painters wished in vain to paint around
their pictured saints. They could only
surround their heads with an aureOle.
A heart always faithful to the pattern
of the one Perfect Man will keep-and
will show-the fire of devotion burn
ing on it's altar to the end; and dis
ciple who so follows his Master Will
always illuminate others with his life.
He will never lose his halo.

Poisoned by Typewriter Ink.

It may not be generally known that
the by products OF fruit stones are of
considerable value. The pits Of
peaches. apricots, nectarines. plums and
pune5 which have heretofore been
thrown away or used for fuel have a
market value This is specially true
OF the peach and apricot pits. There
is now 4 strong demand for them at
SIS to $40 ton delivered in San Fran
cisco. The kernel is of course what is
sought. From the kernel of the april
cot Turkish nut candy is made which
has almost displaced the almond. The
same substance is used for the adulter-
alton Of cinnamon, allspice and nut
meg. Prussic acid and essence and oil
of almonds are made from the peach
and prune pits and these fiavors are
used in many ways. The pits are
cracked in San Francisco and the kerr
nels are then sent east

Good Taste.

1t is not always costly garments that
are the prettiest and most becoming.
! Ones own good taste should tell one
what to wear. An inexpensive gown,
well brushed and we'll put on, will look
hundredfold better than one that
cost heap of money but is ill-fitting
/ and slouchy and trailing in the dirt.
1t is an easy matter to find what col
ors suit you best, and also what gen
eral styles are most becoming to your
figure. 1t would appear, though, as if
half the women planned their gowns
so that their defects and not their good
points would be made more prominent.
Don't be one of them. Reform, and
mend your ways To be beautiful IS
the ambition of every woman in every
walk of life. 1t is not an ambition to
be sneered at, for beauty does not
mean merely doll-like reproduction
of rosy cheeks and wide. beaming eyes.
but sweetness of character and a men
tally that is worth the name.
wouldn't give nickel with a hole in
it for the girl who neglects the cultiva-
ton of pleasant, happy, inspiring dis
position and spends six hours out of
the day experimenting with freckle
cures and fretting over mole on her
left cheek! The freckles and the mole
won't be noticed if she is sweet and
dear and unselfish and lovable.

Carving Money.

Many women, when travelling, carry
their surplus money in an envelope
pinned inside the dress, but some one
has now invented for the purpose a
pretty case made of bit of linen,
eight inches long and SO inches wide,
embroidered with the heavy white Ro-
man silk in fiye-pointed stars, made by
taking from the center five stitches,
each an eighth of an inch long. Ii
this is too troublesome, a simple cross
stitch, made with this silk irregularly
over the linen, about three-quarters OF
an inch apart. will give pretty effect.
Or the bag may have on the back the
future owners three initials, written
with a tine-pointed. hard lead pencil
to make the line as narrow and light
as possibility the giver and done in
outline stitch heavy enough to cover
the pencil marks, says the Baltimore
Herald. Having embroidered the linen,
hem one end three inches, and, be-
ginning half an inch above the poke;
thus formed. round off the square cor
ners which will give the envelope
shape. Commencing at one end, basic
piece Of linen tape half an inch wide
along the sides and around the flap OF
the onvelop, and ornament it with a
row OF feather-stitching. Finish the
hem across the pocket in the same
way; sew small pearl button one inch
below the hem in the center. and make

intermarried with the inhabitants, left
descendants with cleaning brain

Red-haired Italians are fairly nu
merous in Italy. They are most nu-
merous in the northern provinces,
where there is the greatest infusion
of German blood.
Where there aren't any red-haired
girls by nature-as among the Moors
and Arabs-the glowing locks are COM
monest Of all. The women all dye
their jetty tresses to a most lovely
red with henna.

Prior to 1872 the worlds produc-
ton of beet sugar had never reached
100000 tons; in the present year 1t
is, according to latest estimates, $780,
600 tons, while the cane sugar crop,
which in 1912 was 100000 tons, is in
the present year 100000 tons. Thus
cane-sugar production has scarcely
doubled during the period under con-
sideration, while that from beets has
more than quintupled. Meantime the
price has fallen more than one-half,
the average cost in foreign countries Of
all sugar imported into the United
States In the fiscal year 1872 being 237
cents per pound, ana in 1899 2.39 cents
per pound No instance Of the world S
production OF fCodstuffs has been more
rapid or rikirg than that with refer
ence to best SUGAR. III 1879 the total
beet-sugar crop OF the world was but
$4,000 tons; in 1888 1t was 2,545, 900
tons; in 1915, 4,792,793 tons, and in
1S99-1900, $4,000 tons. In 185l5
beet sugar formed IL per cent Of the
worlds total sugar crop. and in 1899
1890 it formed Sc per cent. Thus the
sugar producing area of the world has
IN less than half-century been shifted

SHORT SERMONS.

The world was made that we might
be born. We are born that we may
know the Creator botn of the word
and of ourselves, viz: Godfrey. J. j.

The living Christ must so with us

The history of the Christian era is.
replete with demonstration that rebel

William G. Ewings.
The Bible is a book which never
goes wrong about pride, lust, and van
ity, about submission, reverence and
}ove-its teachings shine bright on
these subjects Rev. H. R. Rose.
A very considerable light has been
thrown upon the elements of the prob
lem of destiny by reason of a deeper
conception of God and of his grace OF
life and of its meaning. Rev. l.. NJ.

4 man may scott at religion, but lie

as to the affairs Of state, but his
thoughts will be upon his home and
those awaiting him there.-Rey c. CO

4 False standard.

To tell a young man if there is any
thing in him worthy Of recognition
the world is sure to find it out, is to
set before him a false standard. In the
first place it directs him to tie public
eye rather than to the all-seeing eye.
In the second piace. II makes popu
larity the measure of greatness As
a matter Of fact popularity measures
nothing. The world is SLOW to appre-
ciate is best things a large part Of its
best things. A light book wins its way
in a day; a book born not TO die lies a
hundred years in its swaddling clothes.
The greater a man is the longer it
takes the world TO set his measure. We
are figuring on Paul yet, while a thou
sand lesser men have had their meas
ure. received their honors, and worn
them out and gone into oblivion. God
has not promised to reward greatness
with popularity; we can hardly afford
to make the promise on our own re-
sponsibility Richmond Christian Ad-
VOcate.

Prayer-and Watched.

The name OF the Rev. George Muller
of Bristol England. represents to
many minds a man who achieved great
success by simply asking God for it.
This is a mistake. Although the main
spring of his work was in his closet.
a lazy dependence of his faith. He was
a man of common sense, and "a man
among men" An incident showing how
he understood the command to watch
and pray" furnishes one of the best
commentaries on the text When on
one occasion, party of his fellow
workers were going abroad, and con-
veyance was ready to take them to the
shipping pier, he noticed that cab
man, in slowing their small luggage,
hastily thrust several carpet bags into
the boot of the carriage. Mr. Muller
had prayed for the safety Of his friends
and their property, both on water and
on land, and he had also made sure
that their ship was seaworthy, and he
had counted all their baggage. He ac-
companied them to the wharf, and in
the confusion there, kept a cool head
and a clear eye. When the driver I'M
loaded the movables from his cab near
ly half the number of pieces he had put
in were missing. He was mounting
his box to drive away, but the watch
full minister stopped him. and the lug
gage hidden in the boot was delivered
to its owners. In the school of prayer
one learns many new lessons, and Mr..
Muller lived long enough to learn
them all. None knew better than he
that trust in God which ignores ordi-
nary prudence contradicts itself.

Eranils In Life INSURANCE.

Chicago ter-Ocean.-"Wea are will
ling" said an insurance man. TO
spend good deal more than the
amount of the policy to expose life in
surance frauds. A few years ago two
men and woman secured thousands
of dollars from various companies by
n series of frauds, which were perpe-
trated in different cities. One of them
would take a policy out in his or her
name. and within year proof of death
would be forwarded to the company,
and demand made for payment. In
each case body was secured, and
Identification was made by the con-
spirators themselves. They covered
m their tracks so skillfully that their
frauds did not arouse suspicion until
so many had been perpetrated
in accordance with the plan that the
similarity of the cases started an in
yestigation. There was time when
some of the life insurance companies
issued a lot of policies on the lives
of women on the lower East Side Of
New York, and this resulted in so
many attempts at getting through
fraudulent claims that the practice was
discontinued"
