There is kind of insanity in the posi-
ton which men occupy with regard to
being Christians.
First, let us suppose a case Of sickness
where the patient gradually grows worse,
the tempera ture is high, the pulse is rapid
the heart is entirely wrong, the skin is
dried ard parched the case is critical a
care must come quickly or not at all, and
you go to the afflicted one and propose a
cure because your disease was the same
and you have been cured. Suppose the
patient should remark, Il do not feel that
this remedy will cure me, after while ]
viii try it," Possibly that is a specie of
insanity, but suppose he declares that he
will wait until he grows better and the
disease has practically left him; in this.
too, he is insane But suppose he tells you
that he cannot understand how the rem
cdy would cure him. and that until he can
comprehend it he will not accept it. Could
anything be more insane than such po-
stion! Or suppose he should say, 81

it and failed" ! ask you, is not this a
species OF insanity?
Second. what would you say concerning
the position OF such sick man. ! know
what you would say You would look at
him and say, Poor man. he is insane;
feelings have nothing to do with the mat
ter; you cannot grow better without
remedy The doctor understands the case
and you do not need to understand it"
This is what you would say, but ] know

under the consideration of the Urgent

Altar of Roses

In trade the rose is very valuable. as
the affairs of India and Persia sell at
very high price, and there are large
districts of rose gardens in which men
and women are employed, the harvest
months being March and April. In
Turkey also rose farming is largely
carried on, and very fine altar is got
from the rose grown in kashmir
Even rOsewater is luxury which is
by no means to be despised as to price,
but the altar of roses is immensely
costly, and it takes an enormous num-
Der Of flowers to distil even a few
drops.
The altar is said to have been first
discovered by the favorite wife Of
Jehan Jeer, through whose garden ran
a canal of rosewater, on the surface Of
which the begun found few drops
of the precious altar or oil foating.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Unshaded Candles,

The use OF unshaded candles is not
likely to be long one, says the New
York Evening Post. 1t grew out Of the
popularity Of the Jerusalem candle
stick, whose classic design attracted
from ita artistic effect. Naturally these
candIesticks do not lend themselves to
shades, and SO the unprotected fame
became the proper manifestation Of
candle decoration. Hostesses find, how
ever, that not only is the shadeless
candle often dangerous, but it soon be-
comes unsightly, and its big, Pickering
fame steadily before the eye is I'M
pleasant and fatiguing. The other aft
ernoon at a gathering Of clubwomen
in fashionable drawing room large
seven branched candlestick held In
straight row seven tall lighted candles
Of bright green. The candlestick stood
on a polished table and just at one side
Of Jar Of rich brown glaze holding
mass Of Towering twigs. These leaned
over pretty near to the candle fame,
but when that fame was perfectly up
right and high It safely cleared the
twigs. The speaker of the afternoon
stood at the other side of the table, but
her half hours talk was greatly inter-
fered with by those seven sisters Of
light. AS the wicks burned free the
tall flames grew more and more supple
and stretching. With every movement
Of the speaker current Of air was s t
In motion that sent the flames reaching
out to the twtgs In most distracting
fashion. Candle shades grow too elah-
crate, and many Of them are far from
being artistic or effective, but In their
best form and properly protected with
mica protectors they seem to be, ON the
whole, much more satisfactory than
unshaded candles.

HE CRITICALLY Examined THE ''sATYR. y
Missouri who had known the dean il
his college<days wrote to him that he

The dean did manage it. He knew
Ed Stokes very we'll and often found
him a generous contributor to certain
charities. To Stokes he went with the
Missouri parsons letter. The result
was that the westerner made an early
morning call at the Hoffman House
barroom, critically examined the "Sa-
tyr" and other art gems, shook hands
with Billy Edwards and afterward en-.
joycd a breakfast in one of the pri-
vate dining rooms that Stokes and his

Dainty Furniture.

An artist decorator says the finely
carved French walnut in the exquisite
ly delicate natural wood color Is the
best for drawing room furniture. The
carving may be in the Louis XIV. style.
Sometimes more ordinary wood is
used and is then painted to carry out
the room scheme. For summer espe-
cially these frames are more desirable
with fine cane seats, which may be
painted to match the wood. In white,
with the wood in Wedgwood tint,
they are very good.
Such drawing rooms have panels fin

THE GIRLS OF KASHMiR.
Why They Are Not as beautiful "a
They Once We're.

They Once Were.
The girls of Kashmir in former times
were sold and carried away to the
Punjab, in India. They commanded a
large price, and parents in moderate
circumstances for centuries past have
been in the habit of parting with their
daughters h. place themselves in easier
circumstances, and the daughters have
generally been quite willing to escape
from life of perjury and labor to one
of opulence and ease.
a laboring man in this part of India
cannot earn over So or SO month.
while many receive for their daughters
as high as $1,000 There are some cases
where $1,000 was paid, but the usual
price has been from 500 to $500.
The practice became so common as
well as so damaging that severe law
was enacted prohibiting any one from
removing any woman from the coun.
try, but it is said that the business
goes on now as it has done for hun
dreds of years, and to that practice
may be charged the fact that the wo.

as they once were.
The process of taking all the beauti
full girls away, leaving only the ordi-
nary and ugly ones to continue the
race. has lowered the standard of beau
