Quenching Til irst Mt Sea.

Many years ago DR.. Hing suggest
ed to Capt. Kennedy that thirst might
be quenched by dipping the clothing
in salt water and putting it on with,
out wringing it out. The captain
on being cast away, succeeded in
persuading some of the men to fol.
low his example, and they all sur
vived, while the four who refused
and drank salt water became delir-
ious and died. Capt. Kennedy goes
on to say: "After these operations
we uniformly found that the vic,
lent thirst went off and the parched
tongue was cured in a few minutes
when we had bathed and washed ouI
clothes, while we found ourselves as
much refreshed as if we had re.
ceived some actual n~ourishment."

KING GUARDS HOME LIFE.
Edward Takes Steps to Stop Publ.
cation of Interviews with His
nance Visitors.

Much as he appreciates the pomp
and circumstance of royalty on public
and state occasions, King Edward is
annoyed by the publication of details
in his private life which have recently
been appearing in the daily and week
ly newspapers, states the New York
Sun.
After each visit of a theatrical COM
pany or individual performers at Sam
dringham or Windsor the newspapers
have been filled with interviews with
the actors who gave descriptions of
the Genes. One actor described a
conversation at asupper; another gave
a kindly, a~ppreciative account of the
kaiser's actions. An actress did much
the same for the queen. She also de-
scribed how the customs in the royal
circle had been altered. The charity
bob" as the short curtsey which was
used in Queen Victoria's time was
called, has disappeared, and all the la
dies make sweeping curtsies. The
slight bow over the sovereign's hand
has been replaced by a very low bow
almost as if a person were going to
kiss the hand of the king.
His majesty has now intimated to his
friends that he is OF the opinion that
the privacy of his home life should
be as sacred as that of the meanest of
his subjects. At a dinner one day last
week the king declared thathe disliked
all interviews and personalities in the
newspapers.
Twice during the past two weeks
King Edward has taken decisive steps
to carry out the new plan. When
equality Street" was performed at
Windsor it was intimated that no par.
ticular account should be given to the
newspapers in addition to the official
one in the Court Circular. When the
company returned to London it was
noticed that every member refused to
be interviewed.
The other instance was when the
king gave commission for a special
photograph of Sandringham for an
illustrated magazine article, but he
added that pictures should not be

ton"
Mrs. Garrett is evidently a woman
of advanced education. Being a prac-
ticed penman, or rather penwoman,
she will keep her own dockets, and,
possessing some knowledge of legal
forms, she will use that knowledge
to acquire more. A number of cases,
small but important to the litigants,
have already been continued from
the docket of the retiring justice to
that over which Justice Garrett will
preside, and it is apparent she will
have the opportunity very frequently
to bring into play any of Portals
qualities she may possess.

THE SNARE OF SELF-PITY.
RObs Life of All Its HerOism-Self-De-
NAL Is the Opposite and
NObIer Trait.

Sympathy is a very beautiful thing
when kept where it belongs. We can
not have too much sympathy with
those who need it. But there is one
person whose need of it is more than
doubtful, and that person is ones in
dividual self. Pity is akin to love,
and self-pity is so close a relative OF
self-love that we are wise if we
definitely refuse to let it enter the
doors of our souls.
Yet at some time in every life il
seeks entrance. There is no lot
where, in youth even, there is not
some opportunity for self-pity. Il
am poor Il am discouraged" Il am
misunderstood" Il am sighted II
am o~verworked," there is no end TO
the whispers that self-pity makes III
our ears. If we yield to these sug-
gestions, however, we soon begin to
feel that the situation gets worse
every day. We find our courage wan
ing, our dependency growing and all
possibility of cheer and victory re-
ceding in the distance. Sympathy for
self is a paralyzing and fatal sym
pathy. Unlike the sympathy of u
wise friend, it brings no new point
of view and suggests no fresh plan
of campaign.
A nan who sympathizes with him
self always has an over-production
of grievances. If he undertook to *
plain some of his minor miseries to
even his best friend they might seem
small, but self treats them respect
fully and ~sympathizes unfailingly.
Let the habit of self-pity be once
established, and happiness is gone
forever and a day. The tiniest trou-
BILE becomes a thing to brood upon.
Health of soul is gone and soreness
of spirit has taken it's place, until at
last the self-sympathizer becomes
one of those miserable persons who
proclaims: Nobody has such a hard
time as | have"
When we get to saying that, we
are down in the pit of folly and self
ishness indeed. No soul hat makes
that wall is brave or noble or deserv-
my VI hluSL oy iipobhy 'hSh W.
once truly look about us and see or
guess the crushing burdens other
souls are bearing with patience and
without complaint, we shall be
ashamed of such cowardly whining.
Whatever lot we may have in life,
we do not know what its possibilities
really are until we have cheerfully
and courageously tried them. Self
pity blinds us to the silver lining of
the cloud, to the discipline hid under
hardship, to the strength brought by
burden-bearing. BLESSED is he that
overcometh.'' Shall we sigh because
we have a chance to win a blessing?
Shall we be caught in the snare OF
self-pity and never get free? 1t is a
snare that tangles many young feet,
and the sooner we learn to avoid II
the better.
The brave life never sits down to
brood. 1t pushes ahead, sharing it's
crust with another's need, shifting
its burden as well as it can so as to
lend a hand to a comrades load,
trudging steadfastly forward
through rain and shine, and sure to
get to the goal in the enc. 1t takes
self-denial, not self-pity, as a guide,
and for him who makes that choice
there is no such word as failure,
though all fate seems against him.

Sir Edward Russell, writing on this
subject in the Liverpool Post says:
ut ought to be frankly pointed out
that the most notable people in society
themselves write paragraphs about

esses who do not scruple to tell their
intimate friends that they drop a line
every week to a journalist intimating
where they have been. Indeed, their
passion for imparting information and
self-advertisement is boundless."

Oh, the world has need of sunshine as you

You can labor for the Master as you go;

With the Saviour by your side,
You can scatter blessed sunshine as you go.

There will be some self-denials here below;
But keep looking still above.

The Foe tn Fear.

DR.. Theodore l.. Cuyler, in estimat-
ing what he deems to be our worst en-
envy in this life, says: Dangerous as
the devil is, dangerous as worldly
a~musements are, the most dangerous
enemy hat we often have to encounter
walks fn our own shoes. That Gun
ming, artful, smooth-tongued heart
devil, self, is the foe that needs the
most constant watching and subjects
US to the worst defeats. The flesh
lusteth against the Spirit, and the
Spirit against the flesh, and these are
contrary the one to the other Paul
had a tremendous battle along these
lines, beating down his carnal nature
by hard blows, and the old hero was
able at the last to shout: L have
fought a good fight; henceforth
there is laid up for me a crown of
righteousness!' Whoever has, nv
Gods help, laid his desires, his plans,
his purposes, his property, and,
above all, his OWL will at the feet of
Jesus Christ, is already one of the
overcomers. He already begins to
wear clean raiment, and the ON
niscient eye of God discerns on his
brow the first Hastings of the vic
tors crown!"

Tire LorS Is Good.

The Lord is good. Sometimes we
forget it. Sometimes we feeIit. AL
ways we know it. Few men are really
skeptical as to the goodness of the
great God who is at the heart of the
whole universe as its author and up
holder. We pity the man, that rare
man, who has lost all faith in good
ness and all faith in God. The Lord
is good. The need is to translate that
declaration of Holy Writ into terms
of a personal experience, to carry it
with n as a daily conviction and
comfort, and to live in a constant at
mosphere of praise and prayer in
the spirit of the Psalmist, who de-
clared: II will bless the Lord at all

GOD SEES THE E S
The Difference Between Human and
Divine Judgment in Relation
to lunar Character

God does not set the less against the
greater, as we do; He sets the greater
against the less; that is His way. Who
will not say: Blessed be His love?
Man being small, being petty at the
kingliest, finds a flaw. Thus the wise
fool talks: He is honest, he is wise,
he is gifted; he is, on the whole, a man
of notable intellectual stature and in
fiuence; but-man thinks he is clever
when he discovers a but. He gathers
himself up into Pharisaic ~perpendicu-
larity and says: l discovered that, l
pointed out that frailty, l saw it.
There can be no pit deep enough for
a wretch like that. How doth God
speak? Thus, hear the music of in
finite love: He has gone astray, he has
been unfaithful, he has turned aside
from Me a thousand times, he has done
the things he ought not to have done;
yet-that is the difference between
human Judgment and divine judgment
in relation to that greatest of all mys-
teries, human character. 1t is better
to fall into the hands of God than into
the hands of men. Your brethren like
to speak against you, to have discov-
cred a peccadillo, one little sin and to
have fingers dainty enough to pick out
that little hair and to be able to say:
"I've got it," The Lord saith: "You
have wounded Me and disappointed Me
and gone away from Me, yet-how can
1 give thee up? Return! That is the
difference between your human the
cries and the great Divine idea of re-
demption-God always seeing the best,
fixing His eyes upon the salvable
points, looking to those elements that
are still left out of which He can rear
manhood. He will lot quench the
smoking fax, He will not break the
bruised reed.-Joseph Parker. ID. d.
