TRUTH IN A NUTSHELL.

True happinessfcon not in the multitude of friends, but in the worth and choice.-Ben Jonson.
 Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry 1t with us, or we find it not.-Emerson.
 A good heart is like the sun, for it shines bright and never changes, but keeps it's course etru1y.-Shakespear
 He who cannot forget the kindness he has done is little better than he who remembers the injuries he has received.-Ram's Horn.
 Love your Saviour; yea, show one to another that you love Him, not only by a seeming love of affection, but with the love of duty. Practical love is best, which stands in self-denial, in charity to my neighbor and A patient enduring of afdiction for His name- John Bunyan.

TO MAKE THE HAIR GROW.

(Many who have grown boards and lux uriant heads of hair have homely recipes of their own, but of course these recipes are not guaranteed to act on every face and scalp with like result; wherein they differ from the lotions wrapped up in bot ties with revenue stamps SE them.)
 d man of 50 or whereabouts whc had passed most of his time in semi. barbaric prodiga1ity in the woods, and whose beard reached far below his knees, declared that he owed its luXuriance to constantly treating ii to wash wherein the berries of the deadly nightshade formed principal part.

His beard was 27 inches in length, and his mustache from base of nostrils to it's extreme tip war nearly six inches either side.
 An actress, whose hair is perfect wonder in it's wild, undressed beauty. does not care to give away her recipe but she says that 20 cents will fur. nish her with hair-dressing solution for year. It may be of interest te learn that rum is the most expensive line in this programme. The spirit is first boiled, and a little pulverized sage is added thereto. From this he1 wonderful recipe is chiefly obtained

Nobody would guess how homely were the ingredients, and yet this good soul declared that in her girlhood days her hair was miserably thin. In making her tonic 8 fresh herring was heated over the fire grate, no dripping or butter added. and the fatty matter procured from the fish was poured into small pot. mixed, and reboiled with the water in which common box leaves had been steeped.

MY HEART IS FIXED.

My heart is fixed, o God, my heart is fixed
 in Thee! My love to Thee, begotten by Thy love to
 me, Is changeless joy, as changeless as it's sa-
 cred source; And just the same will be when time has
 run its course. My heart is fixed. Dear Master, having
 known Thy love, Who else could win my heart, in earth or
 Heaven above? Or who could for moment fill the blessed
 place Created by the coming of Thy saving
 grace? My heart is fixed-in liberty of light Divine, Because Thy work destroys the chain that
 once was mine, The letters, holding fast in fascinating sin, Whose cloud so yelled the day that all was
 dark within. ..-s.-- .esz My heart is fixed-in righteousness of true
 desire! In time or In eternity there's nothing
 higher There's nothing that will bring a soul so
 near the throne; In purpose true the will of Christ becomes
 my own. My heart is fixed-for this life and the life Tn Christ gain of requisites the total sum- For, if my Lord supplies each need that
 meets me here, Hereafter cannot hold for me doubt or
 fear.
 Addison F. Browne, in Baptist Union.

PHYSICAL APPOINTMENTS.
The Attractive COuntenance and Noble Presence Among Gods
 Choice Gifts to Men,

So long as human nature remains what it is, the attractive countenance and the winsome or noble presence will be among the choice gifts to men. The late ex-Gov. Roger Vol colt owed no small part of his pop u1arity and eminence to his fine physique. It was a delight to look upon him. We can hardly imagine man of mean countenance or figure delivering Daniel Webster's second Bunker Hill oration with impre ssive- ness. The ''Godlike Daniel'' must be cast in a Godlike mold. Poets have sung in many keys of the charm and power of the beauty of woman. One of the potent forces in the develop ment of human history has been the beauty of women. Time and again the course of events has been divert ed by the fascination that some wom- an has had for a stray man in whose hands were the reins of power. Nor alists have often dwelt upon respon- sibility for the use of talents, but few of them have touched, save indi- rectly, the duty of using the endow- ments of personal attractiveness for the noblest ends. The man whose countenance and form inspires con- fidence and respect, and the woman of personal beauty and charm have intrusted to them talents that may % far to ennoble or to blast other iiyes.-Boston Watchman.

MEATY EPIGRAMS.
A Few Choice Religious Thoughts That May He Suggestive and
 Helpful.

There have been few. volumes re- gently issued that contain within so small compass so many meaty epi- grams as are to be found in Fergu- sons Religion of Democracy" A few samples of these are as follows:
 The corruption of the best is the worst corruption.
 Books are sacrificial, and must be lived and suffered before they are written, and lived and suffered before they are read.
 Behind mass and motion is might, beginning of science is in congenial- ity with God.
 Holy Scripture, when the devil reads it, is devilish.
 You cannot unders tand what God does unless you are of the same stuff as God.
 Confessedly this is dangling world for one bent on quick pleasures; but there may be rhythm and music in it for lover who can wait.
 The measure of beautifulness in a man is the amount of ugliness he can meet without despairing: and the gnity of the stafure of his faith is in proportion to the clearness and sanity with which he doubts.
 Democratic government is the standing together of a multitude of men who could each stand alone.
 The final test as to which of two things shall remain standing and which shall fall is, which can offer the more martyrs-for which do men in greater number stand ready to give their lives.
 If what, is. called lie will wear as well as the truth, in the long run, it cannot be a lie

WINDOW DRAPERIES.

Half the charm of . room depends upon the arrangement of it's draperies.
 Linen or silk shades, tinted to suit the furnishings of the room, are put up over the windows, and then the cur tains are gathered on the rods and draped obliquely from one side of each window to the other. Simplicity pre- vails in their arrangement.
 The most satisfactory curtains in houses occupied by persons of mod crate means are those of fine white bobbinet, as they launder well, drape gracefully and wear long time. The straight, looped curtains are seldom seen in these days of artistic origi-. naEty.

The Meek,

Those who can be meek will inherit the best things in the world. What are those things? One is peace of mind. Those who can be meek in the sense of attending to their own affairs, and not opposing the world to their own detriment, are the people who get peace of mind.-Rev. D. M. Steele.

Great Faiths.

There are certain great faiths in which the soul can rest and be strong and happy and self-suficient. These are what am seeking. Out of them grow the temper of our life and our emotions and our impulses.-Rev. David Gregg.

with dropsy for fifteen years. She was
so very bad that for the last three
years she has not been able to wear her
shoes. She had doctored all the time.
but was gradually getting worse.
Last winter Mr., Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged, called for some
medicine lat Mr.. j. j. Dale's drug store
in Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded him to
have his wife try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
and he bought six boxes. His wife
used five out Of the six, before she was
entirely cured. She is now as sound
and we'll as she ever was. completely
restored to health, and free from any
symptom whatever of dropsy. 8

Mr. Flanagan are loud in their praises
Of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and Of Mr..
Dale for recommending this wonderfully

case of dropsy, after the doctors had
given her up. has made them the mos

A Golden Cradle.

According to the always-veracious
New York World, diligent search is be-
ing made in Tjorn, little island of
Sweden, for a golden cradle. In 1920 a
vessel. laden with costly jewels. rare
furniture and other articles Of great
value, was wrecked near the island. The
inhabitants murdered the crew and took
possession of the cargo, which COM
prised. among other things, beautiful
golden cradle, the gift Of German.
prince to the Swedish queen, Ulrica FL
.nora. The booty was distributed. The
king sent troop Of soldiers to thu.
island, with instructions to bring back
all the treasure from the ship. The
islanders, however, concealed the treas
ure SO skilfully that the soldiers were
obliged to return home empty-handed.
More than once since that time royal
emissaries from the capital have looked
and dug in al conceivable places. Now,
every inch of ground on the island will,
IL necessary, be excavated.

Duluth made a trip through portionI

In Sweden person may go into the
smallest postoffice, and If he wants to
subscribe for any publication in any Of
the countries Of the postal union, or at
least of that part Of it which has been
united in this business, says the New
York Post. all he has to do is to fill out
q blank and pay the price. A quarterly
government publication, much like q
telephone book in appearance, gives the
sum to be charged for each newspaper
and magazine for the various periods. a
year, six months, three months, etc.
The postmaster RENTS the receipts from
this source with his other business re-
turns. and his general bond covers the
transactions. The department assumes
no responsibility for the continuance of
the paper during the period for which
subscription Is paid, but does assume
responsibility for the postmasters' re-
ceipts.

/ did not wait to be twice hidden;

tinued my efforts to revive her. She
still lay white and lifeless: 1 began to
fear that her sweet spirit had indeed
fed beyond recall, and horror and q
sense Of utter desolation seized upon
my heart. I called her by name with
the most endearing infections; chafed
and beat her hands; now laid her
head low, now supported It against my
knee; but all seemed to be in vain, and
the lids still lay heavy on her eyes.
"Northmour." I said. there is my
hat. For Gods sake bring some water
from the spring."
Almost in a moment he was by my
side with the water.
II have brought it in my own" said
he. "You do not grudge me the privi-
lege?"
"Northmour,' I was beginning to
say, as laved her head and breast. but
he interrupted me savagely.
"Oh, you hush up!" he said. 1.-THE
best thing you can do is to say moth
ing"
I had certainly no desire to talk, my
mind being swallowed up in concern
for my dear love and her condition; so
l continued in silence to do my best
toward her recovery, and when the
hat was empty, returned it to him with
one word-''More." He had, perhaps,
gone several times upon this errand
When Clara opened her eyes.
"Now." said he, "since she is better,
you can spare me, can you not? l Wish
'you goodnight, Mr.. Cassilis."
