Whereas, A Divine Providence, in His inscrutable wisdom, has removed from us our member, Mrs. William A. Porter we feel that the Ladies Aid Society of St. Mary's has sustained a great loss, as she was one of the most willing and unselfish mcmbers-ready at all times for any work that she was called upon to do, both in giving money and doing the real work. In any emergency she came to the front bravely, always bright happy, ready and courageous therefore, be it
 Resolved, By the Ladies' Aid Society of St Marys that in the death of Mrs Por- ter this society has lost one of it's most useful members, whose good works for charity and the church are permanent monuments to her.

Occasionally a bride departs from custom, and instead of the tradition al brides roses, relieves her whteness with the exquisite pink of mermets or the red glow of iacqueminots; but the change is never very popular Of all the bouques skill and money can devise. nothing is more lastingly lovely than an armful of white roeas

 And fresh from gardens of brides roses and carnations and hyacinths that seemed to await to be fashioned into bouquets, the flowers to be carried by bride and brides maids, which appears in the January Pu- witan, will seem particularly apropos:
 What shall I carry? is the question that comes next after What shall wear?' when young woman has a wedding to plan Those who have a favorite flower rejoice in this chance to do honor to it pub licly; for there is nothing the average girl likes better to have than flower known as hers. Shower bouquets have been pop ular with brides for some time and will be even more so, their delicacy and elaborate ness making them peculiarly suited to the wedding ceremonial. The size of the bou- quet and the length of the shower depend on the height of the bride, as the two must be harmonious. A little woman looks ab- suTd behind a bouquet that would make statuesque one regal Costliness is not a necessary feature of the effective wedding bouquet. One of the pretteSt brides that ever said I will carried simply a bunch of white sweet peas that might have been gathered out of the garden half an hour before Another at a country wedding car ried a feathery double handful of maiden hair fern against 1ler white swiss and val enciennes; her two little bridesmaids wore white and green, too, and the great room looked like delicious corner in a tropical forest, it was so powered with ferns.

, The scarcest thing in the world is 8 man, man who can accomplish something, man of fogce, mau with concentrated energy, a man who has definite purpose and knows how to fling his life out to it with all the weight of his being. Such a man is needed in every calling.
 This century calls loudly for man of broad and liberal culture. This is a very practical age; theories and theorists are not in demand. The cry is ever for a man who can produce results, a man possessing tact, practical ability, and executive force.
 The world wants men who are well balanced, and who are not cursed with some inherent de- feet or moral weakness which cripples their usefulness and. neutralizes all their power. While specialists are in demand, there is little hope for men who are one-sided in their development, and who have sent all the ener- gies of their being into one mar TOW twig, so that all other branches of their lives have with cred and died. Men who do not take half views of things of completeness, and of large comprehensive ability,-are needed everywhere.
 The world wants men of com mon sense, those who will not let college education spoil them for a practical everyday life. It wants men who are educated all over, whose hands are delft, whose eyes are alert and micro scopic, and whose brains are keen and well developed.-Suc- cess.

PROVERBS.

Like sheep that are leaderless are many women come together for much talk.
 Speak not i'll of any woman; if p woman be not righteous, what she is speaks for itself.
 A beautiful woman knows not her charms, therefore is she beautiful; more so than the colors of the sea.
 Give heed to the voice of an old woman; sorrow has given her wisdom.
 A woman desirous of being seen by men is not trustworthy; fear the glance from her eye.
 A woman who mistakes her place can never return to where she first was; the path has been covered up from he- eyes.
 Gods honor her whc thinketh long before opening her lips. Pearls come from h3r mouth.
 A naughty woman stumbles, for she cannot see what may be in her way.
 A vain woman is to be feared for she will sacrifice all for her pride.
 Respect always 2. silent wom- an; great is tho wisdom of a woman that holdeth her tongue.

One of our very able exchange.

One of our very able exchanges says: Every newspaper treas urers up in it's memory the names of it's friends and like wise those of it's enemies. It seldom overlooks an opportunity to assist the former, but it never goes out of it's way to help the latter. Human nature is pretty much the same elsewhere. Peo- pie who show the newspaper man kindness never makes bet ter investment or one that pays a hundred fold sooner or later. As it has been truly said, there comes time in the life of every man when he needs his home pa per and needs it badly,
 THE INCoMPETENTS.
 All occupations and avenues of endeavor are overcrowded to the indolent, the nerveless and the incompetent. There is no room anywhere for lazy man without sufficient ambition to enable him to rise. The world is looking for the man who can produce results, the leader, the aggressive man, and the mau who has purpose. No field is overcrowded for the original man who can think for himself and is not afraid of hard work. The young men who are crying that there is no chance, that the trusts have ruined their opportunities, would not succeed anywhere.
 The cry of overcrowded posi- tions is a bugbear only to the weak and incompetent. Those who feel the power within them to make their place in the world. Always be busy for it is the busy man that the commercial world is seeking, It has no more use far an idle man than beehive has for a drone. Never give no chance" as an excuse for inactlon.
