The Value of the Individual.

One thing that the gospel has done is
that 1t has brought out the value of the
Individual The time was when a sim
gle life did not count for much. The
community, the nation, the govern
ment, was everything. The single in
dividual, as an individual, was regard
ed as tritie But such is not the case
with the present order Of civilization,
and the high state Of civilization in our
day is the fruit of Christianity. There
can be no doubt in regard to this. The
gospel has been molding human So
ciety. And one of the things that have
been accomplished is that the life Of
every individual has come to be re-
garded as having a value in itself.
And this life needs to be protected
and developed. for as individuals be-
come strong with a self conscious pow
er of their own SO will the community
and the state become powerful and eff
ficient. The strength and character of
a state in these latter days do not lie so
much in the rulers and government as
in the people. Make the people as in
dividuals intelligent and good and
strong and the nation will partake of
the same general character.-Reformed
Church Messenger.

Ice Water without a Cooler.

A simple method Of keeping ice water
In common pitcher, when there is no
properly constructed cooler available, is
as follows:
Cut a piece of cotton batting large
enough to go easily around the pitcher
and to extend above it some two or three
inches. Put this between two sheets OF
heavy wrapping paper cut to the same
size and fasten the ends Of the whole to-
gether to form a circle. Now cut a cir
cular piece of paper and paste it over one
end of the cylinder thus fashioned. You
will then have cover that will fit close
ly over the pitcher and wholly exclude
the air from it. thus serving the double
purpose of keeping the water free of i'm
purity and preventing the ice from melt
ing.
Covers of this description are very USE
ful in a sickroom. where it is of the ut
most importance that all liquids intended
for drink should be kept closely covered.

The skill of the Zulu Of South Africa

which can thus be obtained OF any
strength and thickness. Thus the seam
stress has a considerable amount of labor
before she commences with the real work
in hand.
Finally she squats on the ground flor
no native stands to work or do anything
else who can possibly help it, and, taking
her needle, bores two holes in the edges
of the rug or garment on which she is
working. The thread is then pushed
through with the butt Of the needle
drawn tight, and two more holes are
made, with like result, the skewer pro-
crossing very slowly, but fast enough
for a country where time is Of no value
whatever.
The skin upon which the seamstress is
working is damped with water before she
commences, and as the damp thread and
hide dry out it brings the work very
closely together.
