society becomes corrupt: First,
there are few bad; second. by de-

GUS remain inactive and allow the
vicious crowd to rule"

Tissue Paper for a Wound.

To make a compress for a wound in
an emergency, if there is nothing bet

liable to convey injurious impurities
into the wound than strips torn from
old clothing or a soiled handkerchief.

The Ambassador. whether OF q mon

of the blood royal; between the Am
bassadors themselves the longest resi-
dent ranks first.
4, An Ambassador has many privileges,
among them the right OF a personal
audience with the sovereign. He and
his household are also wholly free
from the Jurisdiction Of the courts OF
law or any other authority in the land
where he resides. He pays no taxes.
except the local rate. and could, II he
20 desired. dispute his liability to this.
He pays no duty Oh goods received
from abroad. and-a very important
privilege In the days Of religious in
tolerance-he Is free TO practice his
own religion. Nominally. he is not
even obliged to pay his debts. In fact.
he lives. as 1t were. in an imported
piece Of his own country, and under

Breathe Through Your Nose.

In all kinds Of atmosphere the breath
should only be Inhaled through the
nose. An occasional breath OF extra
pure air through the mouth may be
good; but in cars ard in most offices
and rooms nose breathing Is essential.
A second rule Is. since SO IUuch time is
spent in cars and Offices and rooms in
earning q livelihood. and since these
places are overheated and underventi.
.lated-the heating and ventilation be-
ing out Of the control OF most Of us-we
mus, take in fresh air whenever posi-.
.ble, in order that We may restore the
balance. The best times TO do this
will be early in the morning. when the
air Is freshest. and late at night, when
deep breathing will help US to get
sleep. We may breathe correctly while
we are waiting In street, and espe'
ycially where streets meet. We can
soon form an automatic habit OF
breathing properly on such occasions.

Was True TO Her Colors.

A beautiful instance of Christian fdel:
ity was that displayed by distinguished
Christian young woman who was spending
a few weeks Of summer at a certain hotel
in iavorite resort in the East.
An effort was made to induce her to at.
tend a dance, in order that the affair
might have the prestige bestowed by her
presence, as she stood high in society: She
declined all the opportunities Of her
friends.
Finally, an honorable Senator tried .d,;to to
persuade her to attend. saying: Miss
b. this is quite q harmless affair, and
we want the exceptional honor OF your
presence"
Senator" srid the lady, II cannot do
it; I am Christian. I never do anything
in nv summer vacation. or wherever 60,

you; il there were more Christians like
you. more men like myself would become

Christie rransforming Power.

While Christ used the common thinc>
of life, He made them very uncommon,
SAYS the Rev. DR.. o. P. Clifford, the well.
known pastor Of Buffalo. He took the
common bread and said, This is Ny;
body" He took the common wine and
said, This is Ny blood" The artist
takes u2 his canvas and co!ors, and as
YOU look at the canvas you think OF
nothing but the different colors OF paint.
When the artist combines them, you
think neither of canvas or colors, but OF
the picture. Christ made the common.
est things Of lite sacred; He made drudg;;
ery divine; He makes every burden and
trial a stepping stone to life itself. and
life o long, sweet psalm. This ne does
when you surrender everything to him.

"God gave them up to vile ahections,
while in the 2Sth verse we read; COO
gave them up to reprobate mind Inc
uncleenness may have been sin OF an insig
nficant character; to be given up to vile
affections is to be permitted to set out
hearts upon those things which are not
right, and draw them to Us rs with hooks
of steel. but to be given over to repro
bate mind is to be hopeless. l make an
appeal to-day in behalf Of those whose
lives are in the least touched by sin; ii
is a dangerous position.
".
What is the greatest sin in all the cata.
locue as written in Gods word? II this
question were put to men there would be
almost az many answers as there are men.
Il is not impurity, nor dishonesty: These
things are not even to be considered IN
the light Of the greatest sin OF all, which
is unbelicf When we read in the gospels
tha. the Holy Ghost is to come; IT Is SAID
that He will reprove the world Of sin,
and that sin is described as not believing
on Him. To reject Christ. therefore, is
the chiefest of all transgressions.
v.
Having no hope. cannot imagine that
any of my. hearers would for moment
think of giving way to unbelief or taxing
refuge in infdelity. That Is. indeed
hopeless. It is said that Adoniram Jud'
SON when he was a student in Brown Uni'
yersity came under the influence Of fel.
low student who was an infdel. On his
return to Providence at one time he was
obliged to stop at a country inn. The inn
keeper told him he had but one room,
and that was next to man who was sup
posed to dying. .Judson cared nothing
for this. and said he would take the
room. All through the night he heard
this man crying ont to God for mercy.
sbrieIinv in terror because OF his unbelief
and at last Judson utterly worn out fell
asleep. When the morning came all was
quiet in the adjoining room, but the man
was dead What was the students horror
to find out that the dying man was his
companion in infdelity, and wher he came
to the end there was no hope for him,
and in6delity prevailed him nothing. 1t
is an awful thing to be without Christ IN
the world.

and no comfort in the hour Of sorrow:
and no support in the day of death would
indeed be an awful thing. A friend oi
mine told me of a man in the West who
had been constantly besought by. his
friends to come to Christ. and had resisted
all their entreaties. He had been en-
treated BY God Himself as He called hin,
in prosperity and in adversely. and al
last the calls became go marked that II
was az IL God had actually spoken to him
and at last in heat Of passion he cried
