CRUMBS SWEPT UP.

Every lot is happy to a person who
bears it with tranquility .-Boethius.
If we want to find life poor and
narrow, all we have to do is to choose
shallow companions and read trashy
books.-Wellspring.
Take time to breathe a morning
prayer, asking Good to keep you
from evil and use you for His glory
during the day.-Canadian Church
man.
Truth is the highest virtue and sell
dom grows wild. 1t is difficult to
speak the truth, and those who have
tried it longest best know how diff
cult it is.-George Macdonald
mo one ever reached Heaven by
living careless, listless life. AS
Oliver Wendell Holmes once said:
To reach the port of Heaven, we
must sail sometimes with the wind

Whatever of success 1 have attained

The honest service of Jesus Christ

bruised flowers emit sweet fragrance.
The fruits of the Holy Spirit are love,

he was such sweet-spiri ed fellow
he kept everybody in a whoIes ONE hu-
nor, he was ever cheerful, he always
lent hand where il was ueeded-so
they gave him medal for being anna
bic. The incident is such q wholesome
one that il 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 one
goes in and out among people. noting
their temperaments, their likes and
dislikes, 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 il 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 amiable. 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. II an award
was being made for amiability would
your name be called?-Baptist Union.

places, but did not realize how badly
he had been hurt. He attempted tx
reach his home, but fell to the side

exhaustion.
He was revived by touch on his

woman kneeling beside him.

In moment she had whipped out d
handkerchief and bound it tightly
about the wounded arm. A pebbis
was deity placed directly over the
artery, just below the shoulder. A
pencil from Mr.. Schuster's pocket
was used to twist and tighten tho
improvised tourniquet, and in a mo-
ment the blood ceased squirting FROM
the wounded artery.
You are all right now, 1 think"
she said to the young man, who war
almost too weak to thank her.
I'll wait until some one comes to
take you home" she said, and stood
near him until DR.. Banning, of Moupt
Vernon, appeared.
Then the young nurse slipped away
without giving any hint as to her

him to do so.
Then 1 shall tell papa" said thu
girl in her sweetest tones.
Nothing daunted, the young man
seized and kissed her not once, but
several times. The girl hastily left tho
parlor and fed upstairs. "Papa," she
said, "Mr. - is down in the pArlor.
He is much interested in hunting and
was telling him of a new shotgun you
purchased to-day. I tried to explaiR
about it to him, but couldn't, and ba
wants you to bring it down and show &c
to him."
The old gentleman was delighted.
He took the weapon from its case, pus
it together and carefully rubbing on
the few specks of dust gathered on tho
barrels, started down the steps. An

Louisville Courier-Journal, he was

inhabitants, if any, must be provided
with oxygen cylinders like those used
by balloonists. Mars has two small
moons, and therein it excels Mercury

sands of miles deep. SO that the in
habitants, IL any, can never see the
sun, which makes it certain that no
lcreature belonging to this earth could
live there at all. Jupiter also is
great sufferer from storms. Wind
(which blows 80 miles an hour on our
planet levels everything before it. On
Jupiter 200-mile breeze is of common
occurrence and blows for weeks at
a time, as we can see by the move
ments of the clouds. Jupiter has four
moons, but as they shine only with
rejected sunlight the four together
give only one-sixteenth as much light
as our own moon.
Saturn is destitute of animal life.
1t is 745 times as large as this earth,
but weighs only 90 times as much. IL
is, in fact, only three-fifths as heavy
as its bulk of water. Anyone moving
TO Saturn, therefore, from this earth
would be unable to keep afioat, even
we're he the best of swimmers. Saturn
evidently is in liquid condition, for
astronomers watching this planet
have noticed that it constantly
changes shape. One side of it will
bulge out as much as 400 or 500 miles.
On this earth we get just 90 times
as much heat and light as Saturn has
from the sun, and all of Saturn's
moons, eight in number, cannot make
up for the deficiency, for their COM
bined light is but one-sixteenth that
of our satellite.
Uranus and Neptune are so far away
that our knowledge of them is limited.
Uranus must, indeed, be a dreary
place. Its year is "a of our years; it's
axis slopes much, and its winters, at
least AZ years long. must be appalling.
At the height of summer the sun looks
about 1.39oth as big as it appears to
us. Neptune is so far from the center
of the universe that to it the sun ap-
pears as a star does to us.
All of which goes to show that this
earth of ours is, after all, most de-
sirable place to live on.

A strange story comes from Shurz,
on the G. 4 c. railroad. The News
veade mention few days ago OF
the death Of an Indian there, but was
unable to give particulars. His name
WAS George Sam.
1t Is Georges wife who Is wearing
pitch and ashes. Sam had q son and
daughter. The daughter is afflicted
with St. Wits dance and good physi-
clans have been unable to cure her.
A short time ago the son was taken
down with serious malady and after
the Indian medicine man had failed
to effect q cure, regular white ply
stefan was called in. He told the
Indian father that nothing could be
done, but that the boy would probably
linger some time.
The boy suffered frightfully and
after the father could endure it no
longer, he seized his shotgun and
placing it to his sons head, killed him
instantly to relieve his suffeing.
Then almost Immediately the father
discharged the remaining barrel into
his own head, likewise suffering in
