The Value OF the Sharpshooter.

The experience of the British forces in
South Africa demonstrated the value of
the sharp-shooter, and charging an in
trenched position seems now 10 be a
thing of the past Had the Spaniards
been as we'll armed and Of the same fight
ing material as the Beers, the American
victory at San Juan would probably have
been a disastrous defeat almost identical
with that Of the British at Colenso.
Hence the necessity Of drilling the Ma
tional Guard according 10 prevailing con-
6i,ions. The old method Of marching 4
company in front of a target. and firing
? volley while standing. has been elimIn-
a.ed. and skirmish firing by company
has replaced it, According to the new
orders each company advances TO the
Northumberland line, and each man
fires two rounds; then at the words OF
command the men advance on the run
to four hundred yards and again firing
two rounds they rush forward TO three
hundred yards. where. after u.lng two
more rounds. the order j. given 10 re-
treat. the line being halted at three hun
dred and nifty YARDS, ana again al loaT
hundred and fifty yards, a voIley being
fred at each point. The firing is always
done prone, so that in actual warfare
each nan would be able to take advan-
tage OF any inequality the ground might
offer. In the first three instances each
man aims and fires as quickly a possible
regardless Of TIE others, but the last two
are volleys, only fred when the order Is
given. In some instances the whole line
sounds as one report being heard.-HGr-
tcr'S Weekly.

WISE WORDS.

Breed is stronger than PASTURE
George Eliot.
If things do not turn out as you wish,
| let us wish them to turn out as they
dos. Basil.
Blows are sarcasms turned stupid;
which is form Of force that leaves
the limbs at rest.-George Eliot.
The sowing of evil seed is an ire
parable evil; none can tell where the
wind will carry it, and unexpected
Moore.
The chief crosses and self-denials we
have to put up with do not come from
the contradictions Of the bad, but
from the unintentional fretting and
wearing of the good.-A. II. Mackono-
chic
Right is right, in all simplicity, and
either the teachings of the great
prophets are false, or they are to be
reckoned with daily in all the common
affairs of human life upon the earth.

Girls should be veritable sunbeamS,
not only to the members of their own
family circle, but also to everybody
with whom they come in contact.
Every room they enter should be the
brighter for their presence.-Ruskin.
Our private sorrows will look smaller
when we accustom ourselves to care
for the larger life of the world, for the
good of the community, for the public
welfare, for the spread of truth and
righteousness among mankind
Charles G. Ames.
We cannot but discover how in our

reaching up to hide, within the dark

or trust we could never have pos
sessed, had the angels only descended
on us, and our life been one long Joy
Robert Collyer.
To be honest, to be kind to earn n
little and to spend less; to make upon
the whole a family happier by his
presence; to renounce where that
shall be necessary, and not to be en-
Uttered; to keep a few friends, but
these without capitulation; above all,
on the same grim conditions to keep
friends with himself-here is a task
for all that a man has of fortitude
and delicacy. - Robert Lopis Steven

CITY CHILDREN,
+. When the level sun is sinking

When the level sun is sinking
And all the world is still,
And g.oaming falls and drowses
On every eastern hin,
When singleRbreath of GOODNESS
Tells the closing of the day
Then all the city children
Flock forth to shout and play.
Poor, little city children!
Shut in the sitting town,
Not for them the Swallowed woodland,
Nor theirs the bayfield, brown.
The cool, green sea-waves thunder
On many summer shore
Yet for them the days bring only
The city's dust and roar.
But see them when the twilight
Fills every roaring street:
There's call of little voices
And rush of little feet.
And a gust of happy laughter
Through all the surly town;
For the children have their hour
When the twilight gathers down.

Lesson Thoughts.
Our prayers are not answered be-
cause of any merit of ours, but when
in humility of spirit we plead the mer-
it of Jesus Christ.
Prayer is thought winged with de-
votiCn." Not elegance of expression
makes a good prayer, but earnestness
and sincerity of heart.
Prayer is not pleading with God
for blessings he is unwilling to grant,
but rather a grateful expression Of
our willingness to accept what he is
waiting lovingly to beStow.
Selections.
Prayer makes the darkened clouds
withdraw;
Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw,
Gives exercise to faith and love,
Brings every blessing from above,
Restraining prayer, we cease to fight;
Prayer makes the Christians armor
bright;
And Satan tremhles when he sees
The weakest saint upon his knees.
Do not think that God cares only
about what you call great things. The
mothers love makes anything that
can happen to the child a great thing
10 lier. The love of God for You
makes anything touching you IuIng
worthy the motive of his love Con
corning everything. by prayer and srp-
plicatiOn, with Thanksgiving, make
known your requests 10 him.
In one OF the great cities of the Con
tinent the regalia are not kept behind
iron bars as in the tower of London,
but lie upon an open table. II might
appear that any ruthless hand could
wrench any jewel or diamond from
the glittering array.-and yet no man
dare put OUT his hand to take one, be-
cause that table IS charged With
strong current Of electricity. lOu
cannot see tie protection. bar there Il
is. And so II man viii only live IN
daily and hourly communication with
Christ, the devil can 10 more touch
him than 4 thief cab touch those jew.
els.

Hats Designed For Horse Wear,

A feature Of the furnishing business
that has laid dormant for 50 long that
its recent revival brings it before us al
most in the light of a novelty, is the
hcadwear for a horse. During the past
few years horses have almost invariably
gone uncovered even in the hottest OF
weather. A few humane drivers-and
these mostly trucksters-have put some
kind of a make shift straw arrangement
on their horses heads, but these have
been rather ridiculous looking, and nat
uraly their use has been confined to the
heavier work horses
During the past few weeks, however,
hats have been brought out designed es.
pccially for horse wear. The majority
of these have been of cheap character,
usually retailing for twenty-five cents.
The braid is a coarse, round straw, and
the trimming consists of a cheap red
binding. Holes for the ears dfferentia-
ted these from somewhat similar hats
meant for bathing purposes. An i'm
provcmcnt has recently been made, how
ever, and to-day some really very nice
hats, to retail for about ST., arc brought
out for a better class of use-Dry

An Editor and a Golden Hair.

"One beautiful spring morning an
editor found a golden hair lying be-
tween the pages of manuscript"
writes EDWARD Box, in the Ladies'
Home Journal. The moment he
reached the page it gracefully fluttered
out. Flushed with excitement, the
editor caught it. 1t was not his hair,
he argued, therefore it was not his
property. Then. again, he thought.
the owner probably lost it and might
need it. So he put it back. He was
methodical man and he replaced it ex-
:ctly as he had found it. He was not
many days older when he received
letter proving, by the very hair he had
so dexterously caught and conscien-
tiously replaced, that he never had
read, nor even opened, the manuscript
Of the writer. Could anything have
been a clearer case against the editor?
Most certainly not. 1t was conclusive
and final. don't you see?'
