The Interpreter Of Life.

Jesus is the Interpreter Of life. He
holds the secret Of the life which is rs
well as the life which Is to come. We
don't know how 10 live. and we will go
on laundering and wearing ourselves
out until we take him as our cXcmplar.
The fever of life Is the result of our
experiment with the things that ought
to make for our happiness. Somehow
we cannot get the right proportion. and
instead of receiving JOY and peace and
q larger life from our use of the mix
ture we find ourselves weak ana fever
ish and sick mt heart. Let us 20 To him
and take his life for our example. Let
us note what things he counted pre-
cIous and what things he rejected rs
harmful TO the soul Let lis accept him
as the way and the truth and the life,
and he will enter the room i'm which we
are now lying sick of the fever of life,
and he will take us by the hand and
lift us up and fill us with new life for
service 20 his glory and salvation Of
our fellow mcn.-Rev. Percy Trafford

Jasper stared after her in aStOniSh-

some small towns have Of aping city

his mistake The girls name was Carl
ton. and her father was the man whose
dismissal had made room for Jasper
There was Il flush on the young mans
cheek as he realized that the girl held
him accountable for the change of fam
lily fortunes
BY dint of carefully yelled inquiry
he found out much more. Mr.. Carl
ton. ii seemed, had obtained an liz
feriOr position in a town fifty miles
farther south. But as he hoped for a
better opening in the near future he
had delayed mOvinI the family goods
and chattelS. There was much not

Carlton refused TO part with one of
these. Had she not triumphantly

mics of turkcykind had dashed the
hopes Of neighh0ring raSers? If any
one was to feast on fat turkeys, lying

family had but two members. Marion's

The frost had turned the scarlet sage
to black. and the vines no longer

every falling leaf seemed only to add
to the rampant that the girls pride had
raised. She was evidently a fay, rite
in the town. for in the evening the
young folks trooped to her door. and
through the partition walls came
bursts of laughter and snatchcs of mu-
sic. That they all followed Marion's
example in leaving him strictly alone
was partly Jasn""'G f. 60. After the
first few rebuf's his free and easy
manner changed to one of aloofness.
Maria sighed as she noted the
change. "And it's the hard hearts
you're all after havin'," she said as she
sat in her kitchen and listened to the
laughter from the house next door.
Just then Jasper dashed into the
room, crying ioyfully: "IIurrah. Maria!

BUDS AND FLOWERS OF
HOME LIFE.
Paine's Celery Compound Makes and Keeps
the Children Well and Strong.
Mothers Make II the Home Medicine
For the Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, arc the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without their
prattle and hearty laughter, our homes woult
Se desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, if we expect
them to ripcn into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of i'll health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodless chee,s,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and witch
ings of limbs and muscles They complain of
headache, drowsiness, weariness, dyspepsia,
and indigestion. All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds Of disease will have
fast and finn hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore perfect condition OF
health.
Thousands of wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vigor-
ous by giving them natures medicine, Iaine's
Celery Compound. In many severe and COM
plicatcd cases, Pane's Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.
II your dear ones are not as hearty, strong,
and rugged as they should be. Try the health
giving virtues of Painc's Celery Compound.

PHILIPPINE VOLCANOES.
Mayor Is the Most Famous, and the
Taal Comes Next.

The most famous Philippine volcano
and one of the finest volcano cones in
the world is that of Mayor. Its height
IS $50 feet, and the volcano is visible
at a great distance. Since 1866 records
have been kept of its eruptiOns. In
that year many plantations and vii
lagos were buried under Il stream of
lava which flowed down its eastern
slope. About 200 lives were lost in
the eruption of 1914, which buried the
country around part of the base Of
Mayor under the OutpOuringS of lava
and dust. y similar calamity in 1929
destroyed the lives of about ! 800 per
sons. In the nineteenth century there
were q number of severe eruptions. in
Guiding one i'm 1SS6-S1 which continued
about nine months. An eruption in
1897 killed $50 persons and destroyed
much property twenty-five violent
eruptiOnS of this volcano are on record.
Next to Mayor the Taal volcano is
