WORDS OF WISDOM.

A mans faith is true only as he
obeys it.
Conscience tells us to do right, but
it does not tell us what right is.
Our belief in the future is false in
proportion as it is circumstantially
exact
Commercial morality and society's
morality are each compound of vice
and cunning.
The church's business is not to
but to save sinners.
A purely intellectual belief is i'm
moral; the true BELIEF is the as sent of
the moral instincts.
Tho function of faith is to purify
the conscience and the function ofthe
conscience is to purify faith.
No man gets good treatment from
his wife unless he almost breaks her
heart about once every three weeks.
The object of religion is not to regu-
late conduct, but tn develop the con-
science so that conscience can regulate
conduct.
To see the truth, to believe i'll the
truth, to obey the truth, these three
hath God joined together, and let not
man put asunder.
An honest conscience is the best
orthodoxy; it clears away the non
essentials and will not believe simply
for the merit of believing.
When a girl thinks a man looks
like he wants to kiss her she covers
up her eyes no she can't SEQ whether
he really is going to or not till it is too
late.
It's funny thing that a woman
often knows man who reminds her
of her husband, but a man never
meets Il woman who reminds him OF
his wife.

There is popularity about the
flying dream that seems to he con-

about the matter, and who are con

any high flights in his dreams. One
always flies low, with skimming

above the heads OF the pedestrians.
And one's critical attitude in a dream
toward ones own performance is al
ways interesting to note, both i'll re-
gard to this particular class OF dream
and even more toward one of the
other classes. 1t is an attitude that

AN AUSTRALIAN PIGEON POST.
The PiEeongram system Has been Of
P,actlcal neno0f.

Practical Benefit
or all the accomplishments credited
to the homer. probably none has been
of such practical benefit as that Of
number of birds OF the Great Barrier
island Pigeongram agency, says For
est and Stream. These creatures are
trained to carry messages to and from
the Great Barrier island and Auck-
land, New Zealand, and the system has
expanded so much that 1t has now
become a very important means OF in
tercourse between the inhabitants OF
the island and their friends and busi-
ness connections in the city. AT the
time of the wreck of the steamer
Wairarapa on the Great Barrier island,
II was four days before news of the
calamity reached the capital and this
fact gave rise to the pigeongram sys-
TEN. At first but a few birds were
available for the purpose, but in 1896.
with the increasing population on the
island, II was found necessary to re-
enforce the feathered army, and at tho
present time large numbers of mes
sages are daily sent from the island
TO the metropolis and vice versa. by
this means. In the first place. Is. per
message was charged from the island
to the city and when a team of birds
had been trained to fly from Auckland
TO the island, messages were sent at
q cost of Is, and the messages to the
city were reduced to Cd. each. The
reason Of the extra expense from Auck-
land to the island is the difficulty ex'
perienced in getting birds to leave thg
city on their journey across the water.
No messages for the island are sent
from the city after 10 a. m, as the is
land is often enveloped in a fog after
that hour. Some idea of the dispatch
with which the birds deliver their
messages may be gained from the fact
that they average tbad weather and
head winds taken into consideration
from sixtyfve to seventy minutes.
which journey is about fifty-seven
miles. One bird will carry as many as
four messages at time. The mes
sages are written on tissue pa
per (quarto size) with carbon leaf,
the tissue paper being perforated
down each side. and on being
folded is sealed with the pigeongram
stamp, which secures the privacy OF
the message. The messages are then
wrapped round the pigeons leg and
covered with a waterproof Logging.
This protects 1t from wet in case OF
bad weather, or from the bird peclSing
it off during transit. To open the mes
sage the receiver cuts through the per-
foration. There are just 100 birds en-
gagged in the service. At both termini
the usual trap for homers is used, on
entering which the wires fall back and
strike an alarm. This notifies an at
tendant, who removes the messages,
and the bird is permitted to enter the
main loft

Lord r:andolph Churrhlll,s Prophecy.


When the Duke of Marlborough was
married to Mrs. Hammersley by May,
or Hewitt he met soon after the cere.
mony several distinguished men, OF
one OF whom he asked if he had ever
met his brother, Lord Randolph
Churchill. Upon being told that Lord
Randolph and this gentleman had been
brought together by Mr.. Jerome,
Lord Randolph's father-in.law, the
Duke spoke quite freely of his
brothers political career. He was
asked by one distinguished American
why it was that Lord Randolph had
so suddenly resigned his Office as the
head Of tho British War Department.
Tho Duke of Marlborough hesitated n
moment, and then said:
my brother discovered things there
that wero appalling. If ever the cover
is taken off that box and the inquiry
and incompetence that are inside OF
it arc revealed, it will not only de.
stroy any administration that may be
in power at tho time, but may bring
England dangerously near something
like revolution. My brother could not
face the grave responsibility, and my
only hope is that there will come a
publication before Great Britain is
entaugled in a desperate war.
That confidence revealed by the
Duke has beon brought to the mind
of the gentlemen who heard it many
times OF late. Philadelphia Press,
New York Letter.

older, in Chicago, who is named George
Stern, is foreman of huge Workshop

- Modern Paris Unspeakably Lovely.
"In the Latin Quarter and in the
Faubourg st. German winding streets,
dingy old houses, narrow footways
and finely carved portals and case
ments give hint of what old Paris
must have been" writes n traveller,
from Paris, 20 the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. sold Paris may have had its
attractions, but modern Paris is un'
speakably lovely. The French are
essentially classical in their taste, and
love order and form, and straight,
strong lines. No Queen Anne houses,
skyscrapers, nor gingerbread work for
them! The houses are all of gray
stone, all of one height, and every
one of them is almost equally MS fine
as its neighbor. One reason for this
uniformity is that the French mind
cannot endure irritating inequalities
but more cogent reason is that wher
Louis Napoleon was rebuilding hi
capital he wanted everything yer,
splendid, and 30 he put such an enor
nous tax on all buildings that did no
conform to q certain standard o
height and elegance that the builders
found it cheaper TO follow the roya
regulations than to pay the tax"
