TWO HIGH AUTHORITIES.
sabbath Observance NOf an old. Fashioned Idea - What Two
 Premiers Think About It.

A recent periodical contained these $ two personal items, given without comment as part of current notes on prominent people:
 "Mr. Balfour, the new premier of Great Britain, is GeNout presbyteri- an. He never allows political business to lnte rfere with his observance of the Lords day.
 Sir J. Gordon Spligg. premier of Cape Colony. made a speech during his stay in London on the observance of the Lords day. He expressed his firm conviction that no man could really prosper or live to old age who failed to observe the weekly Gay of rest, and that no country could ever be prosper ous where there was Sunday trading or Sunday excursions for pleasure"
 How confusing such items must be to the minds of young men who wave aside the observance of Sunday as an old-fashioned idea! Here are two men, one the head of parliamentary government in England, one the pre-. mier of new and great colonial state, practical, large minded men. both of them, and necessarily up to the times, who yet keep Sunday them> elves. and believe in it as national need. Mr Balfour is not on y a statesman. but an author of noted philosophical books, and one of the keenest and wittiest minds of his time. He is not an old fOgN; he repres emts brilliancy and progress. Yet he keeps Sunday, which so many clever young men feel them. selves too intellectual to do.
 Can it be possible that the brilliant young man who is too progressive to honor the Lords day may be less clever than he thinks? Ii is painful thought especially for the young man-and yet it persistently suggests itself. If the men who guide the destinies of great nations. not by chance but by the choice of their fellows, eXalt the Sab bath. showing public and pers al legiance to it. is it SO OlGfas shioned after all? The opinion of these two high authorities certainly is worth considering by all who see true prog ress and true principles of living, per sonal and national Wei

. A MEDAL FOR AMIABILITY
It Is n Quality of Character EThu t Makes the World Better and
 Brighter.

There is a statement being made in some papers to the effect that at school gathering some time ago boy was awarded a medal for amia bility. He was not specially apt in his studies;
 he was not singularly stuGioUs; but he was such sweet-spirited fellow
 he kept everybody in wholesome hu- nor, he was ever cheerful, he always lent hand where it was needed-so they gave him medal for being amia- ble. The incident is such a whole some one that it is worth mentioning here with the suggestion that there are not a few of us who might well seek to initiate the lad, even if there were no medals to be given out. As ore their temperaments, their likes and diSlilles. their frankness - which is often another name for abruptneSs to the point of pain-there grows the longing for more amiable people. What a different world it might be if each of Us determined to bring some sun shine into it. There is sunshine in the way we shake hands with people, in the way we greet them as they pass on the street, in the office and store. There was father who made an agree. ment with his two little boys; they were to always make sunshine. ever to be amable. One day the little five. year-old came to his father and said: Papa, Willie is making clouds" And what is the other laddie making"
 His dropping head told the story; it usually takes two to make clouds; one amiable heart is likely to drive the clouds from other lives. If an award was being made for amiability would your name be called ?-Baptist Union

THE NURSERY WALLS.
Should He Covered with Paper o1 Subdued Shade and Pictures
 Hung Low.

The best pictures should adorn tho walls of the nursery during the baby days of child so that he may be- come familiar with them, says Amer ican Queen.
 Beautiful pictures are an educa- tion. and copies of the best works Of art can be obtained for very little money. Teach child the meaning of a picture, so that the story will be associated iii his mind with the Plc- lure itself. Raphael's "Angels,' the "Madonna" and Rosa Bonheur's ani- mal paintings would all interest child. and he would not tire of them half so soon as he would of tho brightly colored pictures cut from newspapers and magazines.
 The walls of nursery should be covered with paper of subdued shade-gray or green, or, 1T pre- ferred, a dull blue or pink with tiny floral pattern. Such paper forms very good background for pictures, and the copy need only be mounted on gray cardboard or paced in nar- row oak frame.
 Hang your pictures where the chil- dren can see them without the aid of a chair, and be sure to place them in the best possible light.
 As the child's age increases other pictures may be introduced, so that by the time he has outgrown his nursery days he will have learned to appreciate many of the greatest works of art,

So says Mrs. Josie Irwin, of 325 So. College St., Nashville, Tenn, of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

Never in the history of medicine has the demand for one particular remedy for female diseases equalled that at- tained by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never during the lifetime of this wonderful medicine has the demand for it been so great as it is to-day.
 From the Atlantic to the Pacific, and throughout the length and breadth of this great continent come the glad tidings of woman's sufferings relieved by it, and thousands upon thousands of letters are pouring in from grateful women saying that it will and posi- lively does cure the worst forms of female complaints.
