Moral Eject Of Pistol Totine.

When a man carries a pistol COZ
stantly, slipping it into his pocket ev-
cry morning and taking 1t out at night,
feeling its constant pressure against
his person, these things tend to famil-
iarize his mind with the idea Of killing
and lowers his conception Of the sa-
credness of human life. What does a
man carry a pistol for? To shoot some
other man with. The miserable thing
is made expressly to kill human be-
ings. 1t has no other earthly purpose.
What a hardening effect It must have,
then, upon the conscience and heart Of
a man who carries 1t constantly in his
pocket and lives in daily contact with
1t and with the idea 1t constantly sug-
gests to his mind! Let US warn young
men and old ones not to carry pistols,
and then you will avoid doing a rash
act-Marietta (Ga.) Journal.

Thin

is all right, if you are too fat;
and all wrong, if too thin already.
Fat, enough for your habit, is
healthy; a little more, or less, is
no great harm. Too fat, consult
a doctor; too thin, persistently
thin, l.o matter what cause, take
SCOTS Emulsion of Cod Liver
Oil.
There are many causes of get
ting too thin; they all come
under these two heads: over
work and under-digestion.
Stop over-work, if you can;
but, whether you can or not,
take Scott's Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil, to balance yourself
with your work. You can't live
on it-true--but, by it, you
can. There's a limit, however,
you'll pay for it.
SCOTS Emulsion of Cod Liver
Oil is the readiest cure for
"can't eat," unless it comes of
your doing no work--you can't
long be we'll and strong, without
some sort of activity.

The -smotherins Scene.


As to stage appointments, there
were no plush or velvet curtains or
couches draped with satin in early
days. The furniture was as unpreten-
tious as the costumes. Indeed on one
occasion when a lady vas playing Des-
demona to her husbands Othello a dis
astrous and Mt the same time ludicrous
effect, though Of course unrehearsed,
had been imminent through the lack of
e a nail or two to make an old stool
steady.
1t was the smothcring scene, and the
couch was made up Of two chairs and d
.rickety stool covered, of course, with
the simplest draperies-a red merino
curtain trimmed with yellow worsted
fringe. Imagine a Desdemona endeav-
oring to recline gracefully. all the while
feeling portions Of her couch sliding
from under her. This is how the scene
was played out:
Desdemona-KM me tomorrow; let me live to.

Othello-Nay, il you strive (Keep quite Silly
Desdcmona-But half an hour. (Oh, hold meD
Othello-Being done, there Is no pause, I'll

Desdemona-But while ! say a prayer. Go be
quick. Robert, It il siipping.)

MISSIONARIES IN ASIA.
Robert Z. Speer Talks of Difficulties
Met by GOspeI Teacherr

Robert f. speer, General Secretary of
the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis-
sions of New York, delivered an address
last night at the First Presbyterian
Church on mission work In China and
other parts of Asia. The lecture was
feature of a meeting, the last of series
of three. arranged by the Christian En-
deavor Society of the District of Column
bia. Forty-six Christian Endeavor I'M
ions were represented and A. L. Deid-
rick. President of the District union, pre-
sided.
Mr.. Speer spent several years in Asia
and is posted upon the needs of the ma
tives. One of the greatest drawbacks
which missionaries have to contend
against, he said. is the lack of confidence
which the natives have. not alone in for
eiSners. but in each other. He spoke of
the conditions under which the women of
Asia generally live. In this connection,
lie said the newspapers were devoting
columns in discussing what shall be done
with Aguinaldo and his little band, while
the important question is what will be-
come of and what will be done for the
women of the Philippines.
Mr.. Speer related many interesting in
cidents of his travels in China and other
parts OF Asia The conditions which pre-
vail, he said. showed the necessity for
mission work there. There is as much
need for the gospel in China today. he
said, as there was for it in Palestine $500
years ago, when Christ died upon Cal
vary.
