Titus Shenrd's Views.

Titus Sheard of Little Falls, n. Y,
declared that reciprocity never did
and never will help this country, and
interests demanding it, especially
through the French reciprocity conven-
tion, have no right or need to demand
it of us"
Competition, Mr.. Sheard said, was
the means for resolving any reciprocity
treaty into its proper class. He said
the French reciprocity convention op-
Grated actually to reduce the duties OH
knit goods = to 10 per cent below the
duties imposed by the Wilson bill. A
great deal of foreign trade was done
on a profit Of per cent. 'What was

Now that the schools are beginning, 1t

Hunt says of this: 81 would never exag-
gerate, but would search for the truth on
this topic as for hid treasures and
teach it, abating not 'one jot or title.
God has so mace the human mind that it
is moved by truth that warns as well as
promises. would teach the boy before
appetite is formed, the deceptive nature OF
alcoholic drinks, especially the fact that
little alcohol in any liquor has the power
to create an uncomfortable and destruc-
tive appetite for more; and therefore its
use in any quantity is unsafe. / would
show him the scientific connection be-
tween the first glass and the drunkard's
fate; would not preach, but lead him,
through the study of the laws of his own
being, to see for himself that a strong,
healthy life results from obedience to laws
written in our living tissues, and that the
penalty of disobedience inheres in the
law itself. l would strip alcoholic drinks,
the pipe, the cigar and the cigarette OF
the glamour with which ignorance and
tradition have decked them, and help the
boy to see them and their consequences
as labeled by modern science-narcotic
poisons." SUPT. S. T. /.

The Direct Way.

/ 1t is not the man who goes around
talking to himself that succeeds in
life. The most disagreeable people we
have to deal with are the people who
assert that their friends fought to
know" that they are sick or neglected
or in want. The way to get, says
Jesus, is to go right up and ask for it.
Treat heaven in the same manly fash
ion. A thing that is worth having Is
worth seeking for. Great discoveries
come to men first as mere shadowy
hints. There is vague suspicion that
such or such phenomena mean more
than has been wrought out, and men
spend their lives in trying to de
yelop" the powers so indi inctly re-
'vealed. See the good of your soul in
shat way. says the Lord. When you
wish a favor of friend, you do not
walk round his house and peep into his
windows. You go right to his door and
knock till some one comes out. Be as
earnest about your souls needs if you
would win heavens favorable consid-
eyation.-Selected,

Careful speech would seem to be a
necessity of the daily life of Christians
if they believe the Scriptural asser-
ton, "By thy words thou shalt be justi-
fled and by thy words condemned"
Our lips are our own. We have the
right to use language, but it should be
tempered with discretion. Once a
scornful or angry or censorious speech
passes the gate of the lips we cannot
control it, and its effects are beyond
our estimation. Let us be careful what
we say, and on our lips let US have the
law of kindness.-Christian Intelli-
gencer.
