No Use For O. Throne.


Napoleon Bonaparte is quoted in The

"If was In England now and the
French nation was to offer me the

Because If l was to do so l would be

Of thousands to keep myself upon 1t,
which would not be pleasing to me.
Oceans of blood must be shed to keep
me there. No, no; have made enough

Um<edeeaue.d Bank Notes.

1t frequently occurs that officials Of
national banks retain the first notes
issued by the bank as souvenirs. II
these notes are never brought into
circulation and are never presented to
the government for redemption, the
government is that much richer. The
records Of the redemption division
show that there has not been an in
stance since national banks were first
organized where the entire circulation
Of any bank was fully redeemed, and
there Is today considerable fund in
the treasury to that account.-Boston

The Teachers Lantern.

The Sermon on the Mount is not q
string of isolated ethical maxims, as a
superficial glance might lead one tt
think. It is a systematic embodiment OF
the principles Of the kingdom OF God
1t is not q tabulated statement OF
things to be done and things to be
avoided. It is an exemplary reference
to the things done and refrained FROM
which exrmpIify the spirit OF Christian
ity. At the same time 1t is not
theoretical, but intensely practical. 1t
finds men where they are. 1t discovers
their ambitions, their foibles, their sins.
For example: The common
habit Of censorious Judgment and the
Imputlng of wrong motives to the ac-
lions OF one's fellows. The doctrine and
life OF Christ calls halt to that. Yet
e would not have US cultivate a color
less Indifference toward our fellows
which would leave us vacant and opln-
lonless concerning them. Exactly the
contrary. But we are to judge In char
ity, and not to allege base motives un-
less we are forced to by fact. We are
to refrain from unloving criticism, not
merely that we may escape the penalty;
viz, unloving criticism of ourselves in
the same measure we mete, but that
we may avoid creating an antagonlzIng
and inharmonlous condition of society.
We are to give first attention to the
correction OF our own faults, What Is
the use of gaping at the splinter in an
others eye, when we have a whole log
in our own. Yet we are not to
be so lndulgrnt Of others as 10 he obllv-
lous to their morat and intellectual
states. There are people who are dogs
and swine. In their moral and mental
evolution they are not beyond the tastes
OF these hrutes, and It is idle to set
things before them to which they have
not attained, The adoption and
spread of :he principles and life OF this
kingdom OF God is so tifficuit a matter,
that heaven must be besecched for aid.
Therefore ask, seek, knock.
Again, the way Into any success Is mar
row. The gate to wealth, knowledge,
and power, as well as the gate TO the
Christian life, is strait. It Is self
denial.

Tho Search for the Man Who Can.


W. Bourke Cochran. in Success:
There is but one straight road to sue
cess, and that Is merit The man who
is successful is the man who is useful.
Capacity never lacks opportunity. 1t
cannot remain undiscovered. because l.
is sought by too many anxious to util-
ize It. A capable man on earth is more
valuable than any precious deposit I'M
der the earth, and the object OF a much
more vigilant search. Whoever under
takes to build house. to cultivate a
farm. to work a mine, TO obtain relief
from pain. to maintain a legal contro-
versy. or to perform any function Of
civilized life. Is actively searching for
other men qualified to aid him. To APP
preciate the thoroughneSs OF the search
It Is necessary only TO realize the num-
Der OF persons engaged in all these
pursuits and undertakings throughout
the world. From such a search no form
Of ability can remain concealed. II the
possessor OF capacity sought to hide
himself he would be discovered and In
duCed to employ his ability for the BEN
eft Of those who need g..
To be successful. then. one has but
to qualify himself thoroughly for some
occupation. Every has some nat
ural aptitude. In these days the train
ing by which natural aptitude Is de-
veloped into effective ability can be
obtained by every youth, No man can
hope to be the best In any field OF labor,
but every one can hope to be among
the best. Time occupied in worrying
about opportunities. openings and
starts is time wasted, because to ev-
cry capable man start and an "op-
portunlty" are always furnished by the
necessities OF all other men.
