The Victorious Life.

The Christian life may be viewed in many aspects, types of Christian char acter are various. Of every truly Christian career, however, it may just ly be said that it is victorious life
 The Christian is logically victor. For the word Christian denotes one called after the name of, and related to, the Christ, or as we might say, Christ man. And Jesus Christ is the great conqueror of the human heart, the powers of darkness and the historic world process. Faith, which unites the soul of man vitally and dynamical- ly with this victor Christ, is the over- coming principle of history. The truly victorious life is triumphant in the moral sphere. Of mere physical prowess, of mechanical mastery over the forces of nature, of military dom- ination, of political ascendancy, the Bible makes but little In it's view the greatest man is not he who takes a city, but the man who wins his own soul by mastering it. Victory is first within, thence working outward. The victor spirit resists temptation, curbs abhors that which is evil, cleaves to that which is good, delivers it's fellows from satanic bondage, builds up the kingdom of God-N. Y. Observer.

have good things to eat and to receive heavenly rest and bliss in the bar gain. I think St. Simeon Stylites not only felt rather proud of his austere distinction here, but expected to take a particularly high and honored place in Heaven, where he would be con- fortable enough all through eternity to more than pay-infnitely more than pay-for those 30 years of self torment.
 We'll, then, if this was true, these men were simply making an invest ment, and richly paying one, too. They had not really given up com forts; they had only postponed them. AS for self, then, they had not let go of it at all; in postponing ease and comforts to a future state they had not given up desire, or will, or any thing that belonged to their real per sonality.
 Here is the real distinction. If by giving up something you want, after all, to benefit yourself; if the thing sacrificed is intended, in whatever shape or after however long circuit,
  to return to your own advantage again-your giving up is not self-de- nial. You have relinquished the out ward object, but the self, with it's eye to the main chance, with it's thrifty disposition to trade a smaller good for greater, has stayed by yo1 all the while; it has not been in- vaded at all. If, on the other hand, you are absorbed in some good cause not your own; if your supreme desire IS to have the will of God or the good of your neighbor prevail; and if, in the pursuit of that desire, you are oblivious what becomes of yourself, making no provision for your ease or your reward at any expense to your worthy quest-why, then, you have got outside of the self-orbit; you are moving in a new sphere, wherein dis interested love and devotion, not hope of reward, is your motive. You have denied self by forgetting self.

TOLD OF FAMOUS AUTHORS.

Thepoet Whittier planned the Quaker meeting house at Amesbury, Mass, and a silver tablet has just been placed upon it in his memory.
 It was related of John Keats, by a Mrs. Crafty, that ''when he could just speak, instead of answering questions he would always make rhyme to the last word people said, and then laugh"
 It is reported that an American pa per once containe6this announcement: "Mr. Browning has declined to furnish us with poem in exchange for thou sand dollars. We find ourselves more than ever unable to understand MT. Browning"
 Grant Aliens story, "Hilda Wade" was being published serially in the Strand Magazine, and the last chap ters had not been written when the author lay on his deathbed. His friend and neighbor, Dr. Conan Doyle, hearing of his anxiety on this score, went to see him, took notes of what he wished done, went home and wrote out the final chapters as the author would have written them himself had he lived.

tric headlights, and incandescent lights are also provided on the under side of the running boards and beneath the boiler, thus enabling the engineer and fireman to examine any part of the machinery with ease.
 A telegraph line from Syria to He'd jag is contemplated. This will give ae- cess to that portion of Arabia, thus bringing Mecca and Medina into com munication with the world. The line will follow the old pilgrimage route to Mahomet's shrine at Mecca; the total length of the line is said to be 931 miles.
 A number of years ago telegraph cable was laid in the bed of the Amazon river to connect the various towns along that stream with Para. The driftwood, etc, brought down by the stream broke and interfered with the workings of the cable to such an ex- tent that it has been in use only a short time since it was laid. A land line is now being built and 180 miles have been completed. The difficulty of building telegraph line through the Amazon forests is enormous, and it would not be surprising if this proves to be the most expensive tele- graph line in the world.

 A house fell in Venice recently, causing the death of two people, This has naturally raised the question of the stability of buildings of this curi- GUS city. Twenty years ago one of the church towers fell down, and since then three new buildings have col lapsed. In the present instance it is supposed that the clearing away of mud from the adjoining canal by means of dredger was the cause of the incident.

 Horseshoes, when nailed on doors or posts for good luck, are placed with the round part uppermost. No witch or evil spirit can enter when they are so nailed.
 It is bad luck to sweep the dirt out of house at night; sweep it up into corner and sweep out in the day time. If obliged to sweep it out at night, take a coal of fire and throw it first in 1ront of you.

Wholesome Discipline.

Perhaps fagging in English schools is the one medicine for snobbishness in land where classes are rigidly defined. For at least a short period in his early life, the noble lord of high degree" is no better than anybody else. An old Harrow boy says that he can never forget a certain clergy mans look of blank astonishment when he was told that the magnate of his neighborhood had been a break fast flag at school, and had been 'whoppeR' by his flag master for dropping sardfne oil into the tea pot. When Lord M, who became a duke, was at Westminster schooA he bought something from an apple woman, and gave her sixpence, out of which she handed back the change. "You may keep them," said his lord ship, refusing the pennies. ''I never carry coppers." An older boy, a se- nior, was looking on, and asked him why he refused the change. "Coppers are horrid bore," said Lord NJ. q can't be troubled with them" Then the big boy sent for sixpenny worth of halfpence, and ordered his 'lud- ship" to carry them in his trousers pocket, ready to be produced on de- Companion.

THE PASSING OF SELF.
Shallow Views of ScIf-DeniaI as Op- posed to Real Disinterested
 Love and Devotion.

The trouble with shallow views of self-denial is that too often they do not invade self at all. Indeed, says John F. Genung in his recent book entitled "The Passing of Self" not infrequently such so-called self-denial is a subtle feeder of self. l think it must be so whenever it is practiced for the sake of self-exaltation, or self discipline, or self-cuIture, whenever, in fact, it has any center in the per son practicing it. Think how it was with those oldsanchorites and ascetics of the early centuries who inflicted upon themselves such incred- ible discomforts. They are regarded as peculiarly holy men; and. indeed. l do not wish to judge any individual of them.
 But when we see St. Simeon Stylites, for instance, dwelling for 50 years on the top of pillar and lowing down in prayer 1900 times a day, we can not help asking what he expected 10 accomplish by it and who was to get the benefit. When we see Pascal, wearing hair shirt and representing himself as sinful every time he rel ished what he ate, we ask if that was the kind of death-in-life he want ed to keep up always. There were doubtless pure motives struggling for expression here. But I think he eX- pected some day to exchange that hair shirt for a white robe and 10

THE WEAK LIF3.
A Fatal Habit to Form Is That of Per- hitting Ones Self to Be

 A beautiful life is one that fulflls it's mission. Every mans life is a plan of God," is a familiar saying. One who attains that for which he was made, lives beautifully, however lowly his life may be. Completeness Is beauty. The meaning of the root word for 'sin' is, missing the mark. The aim is to keep Gods command ments, to do Gods will, to realize Gods purpose. We miss the mark, and the beauty is marred. "Trans- gression" is a like word, meaning stepping out of the path, over the boundary; that is, not walking as God directs, failing to live according to the divine plan and pattern. "In- iquity" has also similar suggestion

 God knows me better than I know myself. He knows my gifts, my pow CTS, my failings and weaknesses, what I can do and what not to do. So de- sire to be led, and not to lead; to fol- low Him.-Norman Mcleod.

CAN you AFFORD to be =,- -~ without your County Paper?
THROUGH LOVE TO LAUGHTER.

Lead your child through love to laughter, Sorrow soon enough comes after: Soon enough will real ills find it, Let not false gloom blur or blind it; Life has much of glee and gladness, Smotheriug smiles in babes is madness, Rather let them laugh and love 1t, With Gods smiling skies above 1t; Joyous juniors love to caper, Ills for them are thin as paper, While the gladness and the glory Fill life to its upper story; Smiles for them are finely filling, Though some tears each may be spilling. Let them laugh, the years are flying To where each shall know more crying, Burdened with the cares and trials, Sufferings and self-denials, Which grow greater, stronger, bolder, As their human slaves grow older. Let the child laugh long and longer, Let its love of spee grow stronger, Better 1t should kurn frem troubles, Laugh at irideseent bubbles, Than eclipse its sunny Rladness In the atmospheres of sadness All too ready to bereave us, And with ghosts of gloom to leave us. Let your juvenile be jolly, Lead him far from melancholy, Harmless joys jar roof and rafter, Lead your child through love to laughter.

Told of Admiral Foote.

Itis related of Admiral Foote that on one occasion when in eastern waters he invited the king of Siam to dine on board his man-of-war. Before begin ming the meal he asked the blessing of God. The king, with some surprise in his tone, said: ''This is just what the missionaries do." The Christian sail or made reply: "Yes, and l am mis- sionary, too" It twas characteristic of the man. The same spirit of courage that never flinched under fire" on the Tennessee led him to resist the drink ing customs that were common in the naval mess-room, and now made him stand by his religious habit while en- tertaining a king. The world needs more men of this spirit. = Baptist Union.

 The suburban service between Paris and Versailles is to be operated by electricity Steam locomotives are to be abandoned and electric motors sub- stituted. The power station will be equidistant between the two places.
 The street railways of Havana are to change the motive power from horses to electricity. The city is in great need of rapid transit, and the delay in the new improvements is caused by putting down new sewers, etc
 The telephone has proved very suc- cessful in the west in places where different farmhouses are connected by wire, as it enables them to give each other timely warning of the ap- proach of tramps. It is also useful in cases of fire and sickness. The possi- bilities of the telephone in rural dis tricts are very great.

TRUST AND REST.

 Fret not, poor soul; while doubt and fear Disturb thy breast, The pitying angels, who can see How vain thy wild regret must be,
 Say, Trust and Rest. Plan not, nor scheme-but calmly wait; His choice is best. While blind and erring is thy sight, His wisdom sees and judges right,
 So Trust and Rest. Strive not nor struggle; thy poor might Can never wrest The meanest thing to serve thy will; All power is His alone. Be still,
 And Trust and Rest. Desire not; self-love is strong
 Within thy breast; And yet He loves thee still, So let Him do His loving will,
 And Trust and Rest. What dost thou fear? His wisdom reigns Supreme confessed; His power is infinite; His love Thy deepest, fondest dreams above;
 So Trust and Rest. Adelaide A. Proctor, in N. Y. Witness.
