Lord Kimberley, 1t appears. grants
pensions of six and seven shillings a
week TO his aged servants. One of
these ancients conceived the bright
Idea that. in addition to the pension
from his lorfshop, he was entitled to
out-relief from the guardians. Accord
ingly, he made an application, which
was refused on the ground that he was
already in receipt of n sufficient pen
sion. The old man went straight to
Lord Kimberley and asked if that was
fair. On being assured that it was,
he at once offered to resign his pension

declared. Il won't see your lordship

short life need not be at all one
of but small influence. A short story
or sermon has frequently more effect
than the more lengthy. 1t is only
speaking from human standpoint to
say that 4 life is prematurely closed
which covers but portion of the time
allotted by the Psalmist. Christ's pub
lie ministry occupied but three short
years, yet at their close he declared
finished that stupendous work, the re-
demption of the world. Great achieve
ments are permitted few, but oppor-
tunitfes of influence are imposed upon
all. for we are living epistles known
and read of all men, and our living
breaches more eloquently than our
words.

Luxurious repose is never true physi-
cal rest. To enjoy that blessing to its
fullest extent, freedom from restraint
must be allowed every part of the
body. A firm surface is required-one
that will tend to keep the body
stretched out at full length, that the
lungs and heart may feel no sense of
restriction by compression of the chest
walls, and that the blood may have
uninterrupted course in every direc-
ton.

Cushman of Wisconsin is put down
in the Congressional Directory as a
congressman at-large, his state being
without definite congressional dis
tricts. This reminds him of story
which is quoted in the Washington
Post. He was once approaching a
town, where he was billed to make a
speech, and stopped at house on the
outskirts to get a drink of water. He
met the farmers wife at the well.
What is the political sentiment
around here?" asked Cushman. "I
dunno" said the woman Il don't go
to political meetings. They say there
is a congressman at large, and 1 think
the safest thing for me to do is to
