The Measure of Life.

They err who measure life by years
with false or thoughtless tongue;
Some hearts grow old before their tirnej
Others are always young.
TITS not the number Of the lines
On life's fast filling page;
TITS not the pulses added throbS
Which constitute their age.
Some souls are serfs among the free.
While Others nobly thrive;
They stand just where their fathers STOOD,
Dead, even while they live.
Others, all spirit. heart and sense
Theirs the mysterious power
To live In thrills of joy or woe
A twelvemonth in the hour.
He liveth long who liveth welll
All other life is short and vain.
He liveth longest who can tell
OF living most for heavenly GAIN
He liveth long who liveth WE'LL
All else is being flung away.
He liveth longest who can tell
OF true things truly done each day.

Electrical Cookery.
From Good Housekeeping.

THE advantages of cooking by cleo
tricity as summed up by housekeepers
who are using it are these; there is no
smoke. fame or SCOT, and, of course,
no ashes nor the dust arising from
them In fact, when in use there IS
nothing visible to indicate the presence
of heat. The discs and broilers look ex-
actIv the same as when cold, but the
cooking goes on Just the same as IL
goes on over a gas flame or a ped OF
Goals.
Not even a match is necessary, and
when one reflects what boon the in
vention of the match must have been
to housekeepers, 1t seems strange that
with electric lighting and heating, that
useful little implement is likely to be-
come practically obsolete in domestic
use. There is no fuel and no large
range, the apparatus being aecommo-
dated on any convenient table. There
is no vitiation of the atmosphere and
practically no emanation Of heat into
the room.
OF course it would be idle to say that
an oven heated to the roasting point
radiates no heat, but probably there is
no system of cooking where this is so
little as by electricity There is no Ia
bor in maintaining a uniform heat, and
no danger of fire or explosion. 1t is
quickly available and of high efficiency.
IL properly cared for the cost of serv-
ice is no greater than for coal For
long operations like boiling ham or
baking beans. the heat can be turned
to the low point, and the cooking will
go on as rapidly as such viands re-
ouire. In cooking cereals of a kind
that may be done quickly, a cup of
water in the outer vessel is often
enough and may be brought to a boil

of strenuous ParishiOner.
From the New York Sun.
A lay delegate to the Episcopal con-
vention of the Newark diocese which
recently elected the Rev. DR.. Lines of
New Haven as Bishop was very zeal
Gus in advocating the selection of an
other candidate. One of those he APP
preached objected to his candidate on
the ground that he was not sufficiently
strenuous in his methods.
why, you must be thinking of some
one else" said the laYman in surprise.
Let me give you an instance of his
methods.
when he first took charge of his
present parish he was the same fine
specimen of physical manhood that you
see to-day; but withal displayed a love-
~ character of gentleness, except when
you tried to corner him. There was a
worldly minded young man in the town
who held several medals won in athletic
contests especially in boxing matches.
1.-THE physique of our rector excited
the admiration of the champion, and
one day in a fit of athletic frenzy he
said, meaning no disrespect, but being
governed by his ruling passion:
"'My dear doctor, if you were not a
minister 1 should like to have you put
on the gloves with me, believe l could
knock you out
1.-THE rector, like most modern preach
ers in the Episcopal Church, is fond of
athletics and had stood pretty we'll up
III football at his college. Besides, he
is to1erably broad enthusiastically. So
he said to the young champion:
81 win make al proposition. 1 will put
on the gloves with you for a quiet bout
If you knock me out, will agree with
your friends that you are the champion
If 1 knock you out you shall attend
church every Sunday, unless hindered,
for one year
1.-The young athlete extended his hand
on the proposition, He was in a glow
about 1t, not so much because he was
sure he would win as because he was
an admirer of the rector's physique.
81 don't know where the contest took
place. 1 could not swear that it ever
cid take place. But very soon after
the incident, / have mentioned that
young athletic became a regular at
tendant in our church. Then he was
confirmed and. of course, is now
full-fedged churchman. All inside Of
a year.
And while he is fond of hunting,
fishing and of cross country running,
etc, he never speaks of boxing any
more. But he is the best churchman
in the parish. think the rector knock
ed il out of him. Don't you think that
a preacher who could do that is siren
uous enough to be a Bishop"
The delegate whose support was be-
ing solicited replied that he was in
favor of that type of man for Bishop,
and he pledged his vote then and there.
The vote was not delivered however.
for the rector refused to be a candi-
date before the convention. The lay
man who tells the story added:
