WONDERFUL GROWTH.

Twenty years ago the first Young Peoples Society of Christian En- deavor was formed in Portland, Me. It's constitution was printed by hand OF a hectograph pad for local distri- button. From the Williston church ttle idea soon spread to neighboring churches in Portland and elsewhere. Since then 2o.ooo,ooo copies of the constitution and 1oo,oOO,o ,oOo copies of the pledge have been printed in at least GO different languages. They have been translated into all the lan- guages of Europe, into the chief lam guages Of India, Burmah and China, into the barbarous tongues of the South Seas and into the tribal speech of the North American Indians. The movement has gird1ed the earth and become one of the potent forces for good in the world.
 Rev. Dr. Francis F. Clark, founder and president of the United Society of Christian EnHeavor, briefly tells the story of this remarkable move- ment in the latest number of the In- dependent. He says the active mem bership of the society the world around at the present moment is nearly 4,0O0,00o and the organization is growing steadily at the rate of 2,ooO societies and 100000 members every year. He estimates that fully 10,000,O0o young people have belonged to the Christian Endcavor society in the last 20 years, most of whom, of course. have been graduated int o other forms of church work. The so- ciety has proved a powerful stimulus to religious life, and the churches that have large Christian Endeavor groups to draw from are the most certain of healthful growth.
 The Christian Endeavor movement is doing-in more enlightened grade of society-the same kind of practical work that the Salvation Army is do- ing in it's sphere. It's spirit of democ- racy is one of it's best features. It's meetings provide a place where rich and poor can meet in common cause and where the college graduate and the unlettered apprentice can and do unite in the same high aim, Another important work it is accom- plisning is that of drawing all the ! evangelical denominations more close lv together. No more powerful intiu- ence for church unity is at work to- day than this creedless and undenom- national society, which links togeth- CT all the evangelical denominations in English-speaking lands.

As Eager as Before.

Ske was at a party. He had not yeS arrived. but she was mOmentariiy eN- pecting him. The hum of conversation through the room had no significance for her: all her faculties were bent on the front door.
 Every time it opened. at every step in the hall. she would start. while her face would flush and her eyes light up with feverish expectation. Then the color would go back from her cheeks. her eyes would dull and her heart sink when another man than he came into the room.
 Finally he arrived and took seat beside her. and she leaned over his shoulder and joyously murmured:
 My darling! my darling!
 She was too happy to say aught m ore.
 Ten years later and he again waits. It is in their own home now. His step is on the stoop; he opens the door. She springs quickly to the hall
 Wipe your boots!" she screams.- London Spare Moments.

The Won derS Of PeHt.

Herr Zschorner, of Vienna. has been experimenting with peat for 12 years and has shown very conclusive ly that it has many astonishing quail ties. In Ireland, in particular, this intelligence should be welcomed. \ building has been exhibited in which everything from the carpets on the floor to the curtains on the windows and the paper on the walls, was made from peat. The fbers of the remains of the reeds and grasses of which peat is composed have, of course, their original physical and chemical characters changed, but the 1ibrous structure remains intact, and the tibers themselves are very durable, elastic and nonconductors of heat Fabrics woven from them are found to have the toughness of linen with the warmth of wool. There is no textile fabric that cannot be woven from these fibers. Blankets and other coverings used for horses and cattle have been found in use to excel in warmth and cleanliness. Paper of several qualities has been made, and tue uses to which peat fiber has al ready been applied indicate possibili- ties that may render the peat bogs of Ireland a valua ble addition to the resources of that country Leisure Hours.

Costly Century of War.

It was a costly century of war that Englishmen had to lcok back upon a hundred years ago. The fighting record began in 1T02 with the war of the Spanish succession, which cost 6o ,50o, ,O0o. The Spanish war of 1139 absorbed 54,oOo,O0o before it was set tied at AiX-la-Chape-e nine years later. The seven years war cost E112,0O0, ,o00 and the American war sl36,oOo, ,oooo. Most expensive of all was the French revolutionary war, be- gun in 1793, which cost this country z64OOO, ,O00. If we extend the retro spect back to 1888 and up to 1915 we find there were in that period @ years of peace, and that the 65 years of war cost us 100000. The largest item in this vast total was, of course, the campaign against Bonaparte, which in 12 years cost us g l, ,159, coo ,Oo0.

Court This Morning.
 The prisoners in the city court to- day were tried in pairs. Judge Brad street held court and the room was crowded. The first pair put on trial were Thomas Mccarthy and Edward Kelly. They were charged with as saultin2 each other. Saturday night they indulged in free for all scrap on Bridge street. The approach of an officer stopped proceedings and an hour later they were resumed on Bald win street. McCarthy's left eye was q bad sight. He said it was the result of blow with something hard by IAel- ly. Each was fined s.. and costs.
 John Moore and John Flynn were charged with breach of the peace. John A. Edmondson and William A.

 Two boys named William Darling and Thomas Brick were charged with assaulting Flung Yuan, 1aundryman on Baldwin street. Yuan was in court and patch over his right temple in- dicated the extent of the alleged as- sault. No evidence was taken, the prisoners counsel being unable to at tend. The complaint against Darling was nolled without costs and that against Brick was continued to Thurs day morning. The alleged difficulty arose over q laundry check. The ac- cused claimed the check belonged to the complainant's laundry, and they wanted to be given some goods it was a receipt for. while on the other hand Yuan held it did not belong to his laun- dry. They thereupon waded into him and their arrest was the result.

The United States Fast Be- coming a
 Paradise

We want to make the people feel happy, and here are the latest figures to show what is being done in their interest. In round numbers, this coun- try spent $500, eco. 900 for hospitals, or phanages, new churches. etc. etc, in 1900. The Catholics head the list with S3l, ,O0O.OOO, Methodists $26,O0O,0O Presbyterians $2OGO0,0OO Episcopali- ians $14,00OO0O, Baptists $12,o00, 900. Salvation Army $7750,00O and so on churches and to-day we have 137 .4S1 churches ill the United States alone. This is a marvellous showing-a pretty good world to live in. Thernext best thing to do to make the world better is for the great Trusts and Combina- tions who control prices to show their honesty to the people by paying GOOD LIVING WAGES. The habit of pay ing small wages is a bad habit.
 What is the world to anyone who has not got a comfortable home, with comforta ble surroundings? Good char acter and good homes must go togeth- CT. and watch the good old mother. when she is in our store; how quickly she recognizes this fact. She says to her husband: JOHN, IF WE WANT THE BD,S AND GIRLS TO STAY IN NIGHTS. WE MUST GIVE THEM AN ATTRACTIVE HOME." The greatest philosopher could not speak a greater truth. This is what we have been doing for the past month-away in the markets buying goods-the lat est styles and the lowest prices in America.
