A man is his own best kingdom
But self-control, this truest and greatest
monarchy, rarely comes by inheri-
,tance. Every one of us must conquer
himself, and we may be so if we take
conscience for our guide and general.
Christins should live in the world,
bnt not be filled with it. A ship lives
in tie water; but if the water gets into
the ship she goes to the bottom. So
Christians may live in the world; but
if the world gets into them they sink.
Fidelity in trifles, and an earnest
seeking to please Cod in little matters,
is 8 test of real devotion. Little
things come daily, hourly, within our
reach; and they are not less calculated
to Get forward our growth in holiness
than are the great occasion that occur
but rarely.

Russia. Move for New Treaty.

Relative to the statement attributed
TO Count Muraviefi. the Russian Min
lister Of Foreign Affairs. that the pro-
pricty Of remodelng the trade treaty
of 1892 between the United States and
Russia was now under consideration.
1t is learned that about two months
ago this movement was initiated by
the Russian Embassy here. The matter
has not moved very speedily, and II Is
not yet possible to forecast the exact
form the new arrangement will take
Ii may he, as indicated by Count Mu.
ravieff, n revision of the trade treaty
of 1892. or the two governments may
decide to frame n purely reciprocal
treaty under the general terms OF the
Dinghy act, such as was made with
France, though owing to the expiration
of the term allowed by the act for the
completion of such agreements and
treaties, this one may be drawn up
under the reserved powers Of the Exc
cutive, and so be free Of special limita-
lions as to scope. It Is surmised that
the deliberate progress being made In
the present instance IL due. In part, TO
the difficulty of finding articles Of
trade between the United States and
Russia, which may advantageously be

Square Billiard Cue.

The Philadelphia Record says bill
Hard cue with square tip, instead Of
a round one, is an innovation that may
shortly be put to n practical test. A
well known amateur Of Philadelphia,
who is of an experimental and inven-
tive turn of mind, conceived the idea,
and had special cue made with q
squale TIP. lie says 1t answers every
purpose to which the ordinary cue can
be put, in addition to which 1t has a
humDer III advantages over the round
tip. For one thing, Il is impossible
10 make Il miscue. The full surface of
the cue strikes the bail and gives it
more purchase. The point OF contact
between the rounded tip and the ball
is, perhaps, one-tenth less than that Of
the square tip and the ball, and where
English is used the L; tier tip assures
Il much greater control. The inventor
Of the square tip has applied for pat
ent, and hopes to introduce It through
the medium Of several well known pro-
fessional players.
