II will be remembered that we have
been studying the life Of Jesus for
the past is months. We are now
about TO take up series of lessons
in the Old Testament. Before doing
this, however. it would be Of immense
advantage TO take n swift bird's-eyc
view over the map of Jesus gracious
earthly ministry, and crystallize in
our minds its essential truths. This
cannot be attempted in a paragraph,
but we might suggest the following
points for consideration:
!. The incarnation. or God become man.
as the greatest miracle of the ages.
2 Jesus object In coming 10 earth: was

For Charity.

A Frenchwoman has invented new
plan for securing contributions to char
ity. She is n great favorite in her
own circle Recently while staying at
a country place near Paris she attend
ed n charity fete. One of her men
friends sought her hand for a dance
and the lady said:
with pleasure. Twenty-Five francs,
please"
Il beg your pardon" said the puz-
zled man. 81 had the honor to ask
you for waltz
''To be sure" said mademoiselle, Il
thought it was a quadrille. A waltz
will be 40 francs"
Then she explained that for that
evening she was dancing for the poor.
and her partners must contribute. The
other bellies took up the idea and the
result was n handsome increase in the
fund.-Chicago Chronicle.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Currants are delicious when served
with bananas. Slice the latter fruit and
add plenty of sugar because of the
acidity of the currants.
For cleaning n hairbrush use n weak
solution of soda water. When tepid,
shake the bristles in it. They will be
cleaned without being weakened
Space in a closet can be much in
creased by using hangers or wire forms
hung on Stats put across above the
wooden strips that hold the usual
hooks.
How do you get the parafin on top of
the jelly? Put a piece that you think
when melted will cover the jelly in the
glass. Pour the hot jelly in. The wax
will come TO the top.
When you wash handkerchiefs. col
lars. etc, put them in n FELLOWSHIP be-
fore they go into the boiler. You spend
no time fishing for them, and they
don't get lost or thrown out with the
Suds.
Pineapple juice drained from the
fruit and mixed with currant. lemon,
blackberry or raspberry juice makes n
delicious drink. \ few wedges left to
float in the lemonade bowl improves
the flavor of that beverage.

The Boston Herald tells of new or

girls who do homework for living.
At a recent club meeting the girls de-
bated ON the question, Resolved. That
the trials of the servant are greater
than those of the mistress" with some
witty things said and good points made
on both sides. The mistress side of
the argument was sustained by two
members who were once housemaids,
but are now housekeepers. and who de
clare that their last state is worse than
their first. Those on the other side of
the question affirmed that training
schools for the mistresses would ac-
complish great good.

WORK IN A LIGHTHOUSE.
Daily TASKS Performed In Keeping
the Lamps Bright.

the Lamps Bright.
The duties of the lighthouse keeper
are many and important. The top Of
the tower is usually n tiny room, all
glass windows. The lantern is in the
center OF the room. 1t is great prism
of glass, in shape like n beehive. The
lamp is set into this, and the lenses
magnify the comparatively small light
of the lamp and make it great beacon
seen far off over the waters. Should
the luminant be a flashlight, there is
machinery TO be wound up every few
hours to cause it to reyolve. At sunset
the keeper climbs the steep steps in the
high tower, takes down the curtains
that darken it throughout the day and
sets the lamp inside the lantern. At
midnight the lamp is changed. y fresh
ly filled one is put in the place of the
first lighted one.
When storms are raging or fogs pre-
vailing, the keeper stays awake TO
wind the machinery that keeps the fog
signal Booming over the water. Many
sleepless nights are thus spent by the
light keepers in devoted vigil of the
aids to navigation. At the gray Of
dawn the keeper is again climbing the
steep iron ladder to the tower top. Be
fore the red rim of the sun appears the
| lamp is eXtinguished. the fine prismatic
| lenses are covered, and the huge panes
of glass that form the walls of the
room are curtained. The large lamp is
carried down the flights of an almost
perpendicular ladder and when filled.
trimmed and cleaned is ready for the
sunset hour. The work of the keeper is
not concluded with this feat. The most
| perpleXing portion of the daily routine
is now to be performed.
| The light keeper must give an ac-
count of his stewardship. y record is
kept of every gill. pint. quart and gal
! Ion OF oil that is nightly consumed by
the lamps, the fractional parts of inch
es of wick burned. the lamp chimneys
broken and the general consumption of
all supplies furnished yearly in large
quantities by the Recommendations
ans Home Companion.

The HONEYMOON.

\ contemporary complains that by
degrees, as marriage has come to be
taken less seriously and love is spoken
of as something old fashioned and es-
sentiaIly middle class, the honeymoon
has been cut down, and it is n sign of
the times and their spirit that there is
a marked tendency on the part of
brides to ignore the honeymoon alto
gether. Rumor has it that in due course
Its extinction is bound TO be brought
about, but we cannot help hoping that
this is an invention of the enemy. In
the fact that young husband and wife
go away from all their friends and pur-
suits for the first week or so after their
marriage, there is, of course, no special
virtue, but it is good for US to think
that they are wholly engrossed with
each other and need no ordinary socie-
lty. That the modern bride cannot en-
dure the sole companionship of her hus-
band for even the first few days Of
married life and that Benedick must
have golfing or playhouses or the socie-
lty of friends lest he should be bored
by the woman he has just taken as 4
life companion is truly a pitiful expo
sure of the spirit in which the holy es-
tate is entered upon by the present
generation. What in future is to tinSe
our lives with the rosy glow of ro-
lmance? And how shall we get that
sentiment without which life is dull
and gray and nothing worth, if we pro-
coed on these lines? Our grandparents
may have been less clever in some
ways, but, at least, they were more
IsucceSsfuI rs lovers than their descend
ants.-PhiIadelphia Ledger.

been suggested. but the best, it is said,
is that used in the New York botan-

have been under pressure for n day or
