The life Of true Christian seems to be continu-
ally full Of Easters to be perpetual renewal Of
things from the lower to the higher, from their tenn
portal to their spiritual shape and power This is the
true meaning Of the self-sacrifce and self-denial
with which the Christians life is filed You are
called on to give up luxury, and you do it. The
little piece Of comfortable living is quietly buried
away underground. But that is not the last OF it.
The small indulgence which would have made your
one else, will see tin time. Don't finch. Keep a
ndergoes some strange alterations in its burial and
comes out spiritual quality which blesses and en-
riches your soul forever and ever. You surrender
some ambition which had exercised proud power
over you, in whose train and shadow you had hoped
to live with something of its glory cast on you You
send that down into its grave and that too will not
rest there You surrender dear friend at the call
of DEATH and out of his grave the real power Of
friendship rises stronger and more eternal into your
life So the partial and imperfect and temporary are
always being taken away from us and buried, that
the perfect and eternal may rise out of their tombs
to bless us-Phillip Brooks
Keep stiff upper lip. Your fortune depends on
it more than upon mere ability or money In fact
YOU can win without either money ability, If you
keep stiff upper lip.
1t is easier to think this than to do it, There may
be hollow cheeks at home, debts fast accumulating
When called to defend position, your whole future
may seem to hang on one man s favor. Keep stiff
upper lip.
The beginning of your explanation may offend
another part may not be clear, and finally the whole
scheme be poohpQohed. If you are right he, or som'
one else, will Sc tin time. Don't finch. Keep |

In business as in politics, men act dual parts. DE
spite appearances, your scheme may have been ia
ored Can you represent another mani That is th'
question Is it saef to back you with money! Car
you keep a stiff upper lipG
Here is where most men fall down. They labor IL
the slavery of fear. Trust yourself. If you have {
good idea, develop it. Await the occasion. Ther
spring it. Expect the best things. If they don come

Turkish Strikers Put in Prison,

A cablegram from Constantinople reports
the first labor aggression in the history of
Turkey. The workmen in factory of the
tobacco monopoly became enraged by intro
duction of machinery and attacked their
superiors. threatening to strike unless their
wages were increased. The police decided
that strike would be equivalent to a revo-
lutionary movement and that its instiga-
tors should therefore be arrested AS re-
suit 90 persons are now in prison for their
connection with the trouble.

Disputed Jurisdiction.

IT think 1t advisable that the management

the Attorney General, and not the Commits
sioners of the District of Columbia or the

sponsibility for the management and con-
troll of this school, as 1 understand the law.
1t seems that some claim Of jurisdiction in
the District Commissioners and the board

there is no civil administration, or very
little. At first the vicerOy received the
