SouI-Growth h.

Above all things keep this in mind
that God desires that our soul-life
grow. 1t is not for gifts that he seeks.
He owns the world. Not worship that
he desires. He gave us his Son not for
these things, but that we might be
conformed to the image of Jesus. God
is not glorified by temples or taber-
nacles or denominations or great
speeches, or anything of the kind; he
is glorified in the growth of men and
women toward him. The most accept
able temple one can build for God is
the tenple of the heart. These out
ward things, these seen things, these
temporal things, are food in the sight
of the Lord when they bespeak the life
within, when they tell of the longing
CT the soul after the unseen things
which are eternal. Upon these the foun-
dation is laid-out OF these must every
good thing grow.-Biblical Recorder

The Use OF "a Lemon.

There are a great many people in
this world who fancy that when lemon
ade and lemon extract and lemon drops
are catalogued, there isn't very much
left for this familiar fruit. But when
these uses are met the value of the
lemon are scarcely cOmprehended. AS
a remedy for cold few things are
sugar Very few of these disease germs
that cause us the most annoyance are
able to survive contact with the juice
OF the lemon. If, after coming in from
a dusty street, or after minglng with
the unwashed and unkempt crowds in
which We sometimes find ourselves,
we would cut off a slice OF lemon, rub
the face with it, and rinse the mouth
and throat with the clear juice many
diseases that now afflict us would be
kept at proper distance. After hav-
ing the hands in hot water, or after
using many malordOrous substances,
a thorough rubbing with lemon will re-
store the delicacy of the skin. and re-
biCNS any OUJcCliUldDlc S1uSll. ne
finger nails are greatly improved by
applications of lemon juice. Pimples
and blackheads may be removed or
kept away by the same means. An oc-
casional brushing of the teeth with
lemon juice Is most excellent thing,
provided the acid is carefully washed
away afterward. 1t is said that corns
and bunions may be removed by bind
ing on a piece of lemon night after
night. Certainly when the feet are
tired and swollen. there is nothing bet
ter as an application, after a good
bathing, than lemon juice and alcohol
in equal parts. A tablespoonful is
quite enough, and the preparation
ought to be found on every toilet table.
After lemons are used for table pur-
poses, the pieces may be put on
shelf over the kitchen sink, where they
will be handy to rub the hands with,
to remove stains, to take spots out OF
linen, or to mix with salt and polish
brasses. There is probably no fruit in
ordinary use that has so many excel
lent qualities. and is SO comprehen-
sively valuable as the lemon.

is fitted to the needs OF every man.
Mamma was the wilderness food, and
came to an end when the Israelites
reached Canaan. So is Christ our food
through the wilderness of this world:
but He will also be our food after we
reach the promised land above. Some
foods strengthen the muscles; some.
the nerves; some enrich the blood:
some build up the bones; some are for
mere pleasure. The true Bread is for all
purposes. Whoever has Christ needs
nothing more. Not to labor for the
meat that perisheth includes, of course,
not wishing for it, setting our affec-
tons on things above.
Hunger. - Some are hungry for

A Short LIE.

A short life need not be at ali one OF
but small influence. A short story or
sermon has frequently more effect than
the more lengthy. 1t is only speaking
from a human standpoint to say that
a life is prematurely closed which COW
crs but portion of the time allotted
by the psalmist. Our Lords public
ministry occupied but three short
years, yet at their close He declared
finished that most stupendous work,
the redemption of the world. Great
achievements are permitted few. but
boundless opportunities OF influence
are imposed on all, for we are living
epistles known and read OF all men,
and our living breaches more eloquent
ly than our words. If, therefore, to
live is for Christ to shine in us, our
lives are but the working out of the
divine plan, and when in accordance
with that plan we are called away who
shall say that the Well done," leaves
room for doubt as to the completion of

Diet and Color.

A bright complexion Will go a great
way toward identifying plain face.
To secure it a perfect circulation of the
blood is absolutely necessary, and to
retain it a meat diet should be avoided.
The roses must be painted in the
cheeks, lips and chin by nature. Album
dant exercise and an outdoor life are
invaluable. Animal food is not con-
ducive to fine color. Meat once a
day should be the limit. Meat broths.
soup extracts and jellies are, on the
other hand, very wholesome. Vegeta-
bles should form the diet, and as they
are numerous no difficulty will be
found In getting change. Lettuce,
one of the most valuable greens. con-
tains a sufficient amount of opium to
freshen the complexion by absorbing
the impurities Of the blood Aat other
wise would appear on the face in the
form OF pimples and eruptions. The
soups of the king" prepared for the
dyspeptic Charles VI, are still favored
by beauties in all countries. In this
age they are known as cream soups"
All are white, or OF delicate tint and
free from greasy or oily substances,
the stock being extracts of some strong
soup. Asparagus, beans, celery. cauli-
flower, tomato, cucumber. chickweed.
crab and lobster are some of the fit-
teenth century soups that are consid-
cred favorable to beauty color. Soft
boiled eggs are among the best arti-
cles OF food and those hard boiled are
among the worst. Candy, conserves,
croquettes, doughnuts, crullers, patties
and pastry are bad for the complexion.
and SO are all dishes that are cooked
in butter or lard. Fried oysters are
most injurious because indgestible.
Brown beverages are said to make the
skin dark, and the assertion does not
seem improbable. for just as soon as
children and schoolgirls exchange their
milk mugs for wineglasses and coffee
cups they begin to lose their peach
blossom beauty. German ladies drink
white wine and white beer, and the
French beauties dilute their red wine
for the preservation Of their fine COM
plexions. There is no danger of drink
ing too much cocoa, chocolate or cof-
fee, half milk. Sweet milk, sour milk,
and buttermilk are real beautifiers.
There is nothing better than lemonade
to clear the skin. Water is good all
the time. provided 1t is not iced.

DR.. Thomas Wilson of the United
States National Museum, discussing
some of the problems of American an
thropology, points out among the pc
culiarities yet unexplained, that a
fringe of country lying between the
coast range and the Pacific contains
a greater number of stocks, or families
Of Indian languages than all the rest
In North America combined. The ar
row and spear-heads of the Pacific
coast are notably different from those
of other parts of the country. Pottery
although made by neighboring peoples
in Mexico and in the Pueblo county,
was absent from the arts of the Pacific
coast. while, on the other hand, the
finest specimens of basketry perhaps
in the world, either in ancient or mod
ern times, are to be found In Califor-
MIA. Doctor Wilson regards the ia
nous Calayeras skull as a genuine
relic of ancient man on the Pacific
slope.
