Wonderful Dollies.

Talking dolls are curious surprises
in these days. One never knows what
they are going to say. it is SAID 1na1
more than 10000 dolls which are
manufactured at Sonneberg. Thurln-
eia. have been sent to America TO De
charged with the phonograph. A story
of a speaking doll is told by friend
OF Edison's in New York, which points
out that these new toys may act as
moral teachers to the young. Edison
friend had little daughter, four years
old, who. in spite Of seedlings ana
punishments. could not be cured Of the
habit of telling stories.
The father brought home specially
charged doll as a present for the little
girl. The child played with the doll
for a day without noticing anything
different in it from other dolls: on the
morning Of the second day. however.
the doll made its voice heard. The
little girl gave her mother an un-
truthful answer to a question which
was put to her, whereupon the doll,
which was in her arms at that mo-
ment, said solemnly: Little girls
must never tell lies; never, never tell
lies" The little one stared at the doll
and laid it down on the carpet. Since
that time she cannot be persuaded to
touch her plaything; out the timely
warning has cured her more effective
ly of her bad habit than any whip
pings or seedlings could do.

League for Christian P.trioti.m.

League for Christian Patriotism.
The "World-League for Christian
Patriotism" has just been organized in
Chicago. Its object is Ito stimulate,
aid and unity movements for Chris
tan patriotism, to hallow the flag and
to point to Christianity as the basis
Of human order and progress" 1t
seeks the worldwide use of an en-
blem, two crossed flags, one to stand
for patriotism, the other for Christian
ity. The design of the latter is GRIM
son Latin cross on the small field Of
white, and on the larger field OF blue
the words, by This Sign Conquer" +"
The use Of this flag the world around
in conjunction with the nag OF each
country will. it is believed, be a most
emphatic protest against anarchy and
a positive aid in fostering patriotism
on a sure basis.
The president of the league is Rev.
S. M. johnson, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of Austin sta
ton, Chicago, and the originator OF the
movement. The idea came to him in
connection with the tragic end Of that
noble Christian patriot, the late Presi-
dent Mckinley.
AS a button badge the design was
used last October by 1000 delegates
at the annual meeting Of the American
Missionary Association at Oak Park,

Power Of Sacramento, Grace.

Dr. Donald, rector of Trinity Pro-
testant Episcopal church, Boston (the
late Phillips Brooks. he who SO shock
ed the Puseyites at the San Francisco
convention by declaring that episcopal
orders are not necessary for valid ad-
ministration of the sacraments. brings
the exclusive order theory to the test
very tersely in these words: III any
one church had the exclusive sacra-
mental grace. we may be sure that all
souls who desire the fullest measure
Of Christ's grace would be found in
that church and in no other"

An Eagles Revenge.

Although we are taught from earliest
childhood to have unbounded admira-
ton for the eagle, yet he has few
qualities that merit our admiration,
and when wounded is dangerous foe
A short time ago a woodman, liv-
ing near Beach Glen, n. j., shot a
large black eagle. 1t fell to the ground,
but when the woodman attempted to
secure the bird it few at him furiously
with beak and talons He tried to
beat off the fierce bird by using his
gun as a club, but the eagle had all the
best Of the struggle and tore the
woodsmans clothes to shreds, inflict-
ing wounds on his face, neck and
hands with his long, needle-like claws.
The woodsman ran with the wounded
eagle futtering after him. Reaching
the woodpile, the woodsman seized a
sharp ak and turned again on the bird.
The eagle fought furiously as before,
but a lucky blow of the ak struck his
neck and killed it just in time, as the
woodsman was fast growing faint from
loss of blood.

port of distinguished memory, one
of the founders of New Haven, who
wore a robe in the pulpit. So long as
no surplice is assumed, even the strict

Character OF the chipmunk.

Chipmunks are industrious little
creatures. In rainy weather they quit
work and curl up in their nests or hide
in a knot hole away from the wet.
Windy weather makes them very nerv-
Gus. The rustling OF leaves and wav-
ing branches makes them suspicious
that something strange is going on in
the world chipmunk eats while sit
ting on his launches and holds his
food in his forepaws. He drinks b,
tapping like a dog. He is very neat
about his person, combfng out his fuH
and his long tail with paws and teeth.
He washes his face by tapping his
forepaws and then rubbing them ooth
at the same time over his face with
such speed that the eye can hardly
follow his motions.

Advice to Boys.

Be thorough in the performance of
every duty, says a writer to boys in
Success. You will not take the world
by storm all at once. You must begin
at the bottom and work up. However
trivial and unimportant the duties may
be of the first position to which you
are appointed, perform them with scru-
pulous care and accuracy. 1t is not the
character of the duties to which you
will be assigned that Is of Importance,
but the method in which you discharge
them Most distinguished men in our
country who have lifted themselves to
wealth and prominence bear testimony
to the fact that the faithful perform
ance of their work in every position
which they occupied was the cause of
their success. The young man who
gives absolute satisfaction to his. en-
ployer as an Office boy or a junior
clerk builds his own road to prosper

The players should all be seated in
circle with their chairs close to-
sether. The leader should then blow
a large piece of goose or swans down
upward into the middle of the circle.
The other members of the company
should begin a lively blowing to keep
the piece of down in the air. Should
it fall to the floor. the person at

On. Thousand Years Old.

There is always a peculiar interest
attached to any great piece OF work
completed by people living many
hundreds of years ago. This Is especi-
ally so of the Great White Horse OF
Wiltshire Downs, England.
AS you stand on an elevation and
look across the country, your eye
catches the form of a gigantic white
horse upon the side of hill beyond
the valley. 1t is a figure cut in the
rock in the side Of the Downs. and is
ITS feet long from the head to the
tail. 1t is believed to have been made
in the time of King Alfred, who died
1000 years ago. The figure is rather
crude, but when seen at distance the
outline of a horse is very distinct Just
above the figure, on top OF the Mill
are the remains Of an old camp.

Faith

1t is one thing to trust God when

when the wages are coming in regu-

1t is quite another thing to trust
God when the barrel is empty, the
money in the bank is gone, and no
wages are coming in. Under tnose
conditions one is quite apt to find
that what was supposed to be faith in
God was simply faith in full Hour

As broad as the blue sky above:
That doubt and trouble, fear and pain,
And anguish, all are shadows vain,
That death itself shall not remain;
That dreary deserts we may tread.
A dreary labyrinth may thread,
Through dark ways underground be led:
Yet. II we will our Guide obey,
The dreariest path. the darkest way
Shall issue out in heavenly day.
And Ve on divers shores now cast,
Shall meet our .perilous voyage past,
All IA our Fathers house at last.
