On the ceiling of one of the rooms in
Sans Souci. the world renowned palace
of Frederick the Great in Prussia, Is
the painting of huge spider with its
web. The reason for this odd decora-
ton is that one morning just rs the
king was about TO drink his usual
morning cup of chocolate in this room
he turned aside for something. and
when a moment later. he took up the
cup he noticed Il small spider had
fallen into it. Immediately upon CIV
ing an order for a fresh cup a pistol
report was heard, and Ii was discoy-
cred that the cook had shot himself.
The reason for this, it was later found
out. WAS that he had poisoned the
chocolate, and of course when a fresh
cup was ordered he supposed his
treachery had been discovered. 1t was
in remembrance of this narrow escape
that Frederick ordered n spiders web
TO be painted on the ceiling.

Crow Quill. Make the Hest Pen.

A quill pen maker says that no pen
will do as fine writing as the crow
quill. Ii requires the assistance of a
microscope to make proper pen out of
such quill, but when made it is of
wonderful delicacy. The microscopic
writing told of In books of literary GU
riositles was all done with n crow quill.

fine points, but somehow finer point

keep journals aud cash accounts and

The Lady and Her Nose.

There is washerwoman in Paris
who is in great trouble. Two years ago
abe had fight with her husband, I'm
the course of which so much skin was
taken from her nose that some new
had TO be grated on. Recently she
made the horrifying discovery that n
fine coat of hair was growing in her
new nose and then learned that the
doctors ut the hospital who had treat
ed her had used skin from a human
scalp for grating purposes. The poor
washerwoman then went to the courts
to ask for II divorce, urging cruelty as
cause, because ii was her husbands
brutality which took the original skin
off her nose which resulted In the
grnfting, the hair and the ridicule OF
her neighbors.

Speaking for myself, 1 am the repre-
sentative in a purely professional way
and as an officer of this court of large
interests; 1 have the trust and conf
dence of men of affairs. and, while not
assuming that the result of the hear
ing viii be a disadvantage to me, but
treating the matter in a spirit of ar
gument, L suggest that If this affair
should be concluded to my detriment,
the gentlemen who have matters in my
hands should be given a speedy oppor-
tunity of seeking other counsel.
The case is not one in which the
aphorism that Justice travels with
leaden heel, but strikes with an iron
hand can have any application. It Is
rather a case in which If the charges
be true, justice should strike not only
with an iron hand but be fleet of foot.
I pray that the Court may allow me
to waive the issuance OF a citation and
to appear herein voluntarily and sub
NIT to the jurisdiction and Judgment
of Your Honors, and that the hearing
NAV proceed without delay.

DUT practical contact with tho U affairs of the world must be marked by consistent and persistent effort. Consistency is declared to be jewel and it shines nowhere so bright as in the life of the Christian citizen.
 He who walks in the light may not step into the bypaths of questionable conduct to-day and maintain his in- fiuence in the pathway of right to- morrow. It is never question of policy and the least of two evils, but the consistent walking in the path way which God points out. The vas- cillating Christian is the one who gets nowhere in this life, and who at the end barely gets into Heaven. But the one who walks as child of the light travels the pathway of consis- tency which places his life above re- proach. When the enemies of Dan iel sought occasion against him and wished to ruin him they were not able to detect the least departure from rectitude or failure to discharge the responsibilities of his important office. Their only hope of entang- ling him was along the line of his consistent Christian living. And so it ought to be with every Christian
 I remember during the worlds fair when those great searchlights sent their intense shafts of bright light skimming over the fair grounds and surrounding country watching with startled interest the sudden re- vealing of objects and people where there had been nothing but black darkness but an instant before. How sharply everything stood out. The light made conspicuous that which would have been unnoticed before. Think of what our text implies when it tells the Christian to walk, as a child of light. In the darkness of the world about him he will shine as a lamp in dark place. He will be conspicuous, but it will be conspicu- ousness which will exalt Christian citizenship and glorify God. Let us therefore be followers of God, and walk as children of light"
 When ignorance keeps peace in the family, it's folly to tell all you know.
