One Of the peculiarities about the
military service in Germany is the pa
tefnal interest that the officers are re-
quired to take in the frugality Of the
men. The pay of the soldier is only 8
cents day, but the army regulations
guard it jealously. Each man is ex-
pected to keep his money in little bag
suspended from q string around his
neck, and any officer during inspection
may demand to have the bags opened
and their contents shown. II it be
found that soldier is spending his
pay too freely-think of that, with the
pay at so low a mark-he is reprimanded
and punished. He is compelled to
make his pay cover his expenses.-Ex.

Mr.. Smooth's dealings with the natives,
and his diplomatic way Of securing
information about buried ruins. I will
not weary you by relating the doings
of the q crews who were set to digging

under the direction of a member Of
the expedition.
There is one event, however, that
deserves moro than passing notice.
These base Egyptian hounds, whose
chests ought to have swelled with pride
because Of the fact that they were
chosen from the vulgar herd, and per-
mitted to take part in the glorious
achievement of restoring to the world
a long lost story-these ungrateful
wretches, / say, possessed of a spirit of
insubordination and audacity, and car
ried away with foolish notion about
what they considered their rights as
MEN-a notion for right down devil
ishness unparalleled in the annals of
human history-went on strike, and
demanded more pay and shorter days!
Think Of men working only 16 hours
out of "a, and receiving IA cents day
for their labor, to concoct diabolical
schemes for the utterly selfish purpose
of bettering their conditions! This
debasing selfishness, so often observed
in the lower classes of all countries,
will yet separate the milk Of human
kindness that circulates through my
corporeality into curds and whey, and
tinge my naturally benevolent and
sunny temperament with the gloomi-
ness born of misanthropy.
OF course, the strike was settled to
our entire satisfaction. DR.. v. Digger

Eimportad strikG breakers from Cairo,

work. In less than two months the
strikers returned to work in Q body at

breakers were shipped back to Cairo at
our expense. Thus again right had
triumphed over might And the work
continued without further interruption,
and B'Um-Lah was located, and its
temples and tombs searched, and
many precious tablets and manuscripts
were discovered. and the story of the
King and the Beggar Maid given to q
wondering, waiting world. And if you
will only continue to be patient I may
in time get hold OF the story, and for

"As for our contemporary" he wrote,
"what can we expect from man who
was five years ago hawking from door

His rival did not deny it, but in his
next issue appeared the following:
"Our contemporary says that five

HATIENT reader-at least hope
you are patient; for patience
is not only always virtue, but
sometimes it rises even to the
dignity of necessity. This original
definition of patience is gratis; accept
it as freely as it is given, and make
glad the heart of the giver.p / am a
firm believer in patience and never fail
to make use of it while l have some on
hand. And love to see others exercise
patience; in fact, I only write to give
you an opportunity to test the extensi-
bility and fiexibility of your patience.
Well, then, patient reader. if it should
seem to you at times that the story I
am about to relate is in danger of
getting left under the wire; or, after it
has made an indifferent sort of start

seems necessary, while the story-teller

ancient history, ha humbly beseeches

he means to tell this story in his own

Criticism and Work.

It is both natural and easy TO criticisc,
but as George Eliot used to say: ut il
easier to criticise than to be correct" The
tendency to criticise is always strong with.

years when our eyes are keen and fresh,
says Wellspring. AS time goes on we be.
come accustomed to stains and blotcheS to
blemishes and blunders, and they do not
jar upon us as they do when yet unsDoied
or calloused; we measure all things by the
high ideals which God plants in hearts
which are young. 1t Is not wise for young
people to suppress entirely their critical
faculties or to smother the hot indi1nat tion
which they feel in the presence of suffering
or wrong. The world is never so fine as
young folks expect it to be, and the church
never turns out to be so good as young
people first dream that it Is. The disap.
pointments of the disillusioning years. the
lmperfections. of men, the defects of instl.
tutions, and the out-of fjointness of things
in general sometimes drive the critic from
one mood to another until he becomes
both sour and skeptical. and takes his
place in the seat of the scornful A man
who sits down in his scorn is known a.
cynic-about the most useless and most
pitlable OF all the descendants of Adam
DO not allow yourselves to become blind
to defects, or to be satisfied with things
as they are. Alas for the man or woman
who submits so completely to the world
that he loses the desire to make it better
In the words OF a wise Scotchman: The
first open look OF young eyes on the condi.
ton OF the world Is one OF the principal
regenerative forces of humanity" Keen
your keen eyes and your eXactng con.
science, but be careful to work as we'll a.
talk.
A critic who degenerates into a chroni,
fault finder is nuisance and a curse
Criticism is never sane unless accompan.
led by honest work. The old Latin poet
Lucretius spoke truly when he said: st il
a pleasant thing to stand upon the shore
and see ships tossed upon the sea, to stand
in the window OF a castle and watch bat
tie on the plain below" 1t may be pleas
ant but it is base to hold ones self alooi
from the Christian church, critcsing its
blunders, but doing nothing to settle it-
problems or tighten its burdens.

A reader of the Old Testament must be
impressed. ii he be a thoughtful student
OF what he reads, with the fascination
which novelty in religion always possesses
says the Chicago Interior. 1t is difficul.
for us to conceive what charm the cults of
Egypt and Assyria possessed. but the
s.ithtul in Israel had continually to lift up
their voices against the priests of Apis, the
prophets OF Baal, and even the votaries Of
the still grosser forms OF idolatry practlced
by the Canaanites. The same spiritual
phenomenon exhibited itself at Rome.
where the worship of the Egyptian Isis at
one time threatened to replace that OF
Jove, and later the mysteries OF Mithra,
from Persia, drew after them practically
the whole patrician class. Ii makes all the
difference in the world whether our reli
gion is a home or habit. roof tree that
has sheltered US or a costume that has
merely pleased our fancy. We resent
change in what is dear to us a. much as
we hate sameness in what is simply a cou.
ventlon. a religion which is merely for,
nal, external, becomes as tlresome as an
out.of.date garment. but for a religion
which goes down by its roots into the heart
OF life, men will go to the stake. n new
faith, or an o.d faith, revamped, will oft.
times spread like wildhre, just as a new
cut OF u gown will, and for the same rea.

it never possessed us. But religion
which enters into all our ways, controlling
our aims, sanctifying our affections and
dominating Imagination itself. is ours till
death. No strange god can be set up in the
temple which the Shekinah of His presence
completely fills with its glory.
