MiSCuOtatiOn.

Two Bible students were DISCUSSING
the number of quotations often attrib-
uted to the scriptures which really are
taken from secular works. One OF
them had just related the story of the
wash woman who found so much com
fort in the verse, Grin and bear it, %
which she declared was from the
Bible, when the other replied:
We'll, there are other people that
are supposed to know more about the
Bible than the wash woman did who
make just as ridiculous mistakes.
Just last week 1 heard a missionary
from the Italian quarters of this city
address a womans home mission So
ciety. After relating some of he1
trials, she said that she could not
see that the situation is growing much
better.
But she concluded, the Bible
tells us that "They also serve who
only stand and wait"-and that's what
I'm doing
Now, those words are not in the
New Testament at all. They are a

up. That was what he meant to do
all the time; else why had he taken
SO much trouble to find the owner?

dawned, Stanley. who had been told

Foley was the unluckiest cusS in
the colony; this was the verdict of
the street which the boys stood ready
to prove with any number of pic
turesque facts. ''Is Foley in this
deaI?" they would ask, 90 cause if he
is, it let's me out. He's a Jonah, he
is" Jest though it was, it began to
have its effect on Foley. He grew
discouraged and low-spirited. Now,
when a man loses faith in himself,
he's in very bad way. Courage to
dare and do are born of confidence
One day something wonderful hap
pened. Dick Foley ''struck" the lot
terry and won the capital prize
The news went the rounds of can
tinas. hotels and restaurants, the boys
telling it with thrilling detail.
Where did he get the price?" Not
even Stanley. his best friend, could
answer this. Yet it was Stanley, next
to Dick, himself who could tell most
about it.
At the hour when the big lottery
building caught the blaze of the mid
day sun. Stanley. sauntering by on
the shady side of the street, spied
Foley. He seemed faint, and was
leaning heavily against one of the
pillars.
Hello, Dick!" he called out jovial-
ly. don't you know better than to
stand in sun like this?"
Then catching sight of Foley's white
face. "Why, man. you look as if you'd

brought me 100000"
Look here. old chap. 1 believe
you're light-headed. This sun and
too many copitas will do it, sure"
For answer. Foley put into Stanley's
hand a ticket.
Read this. and that" pointing to
the figures on the board opposite.
Now tell me if the worlds topsy-
turvy and I've lost my head entirely"
Stanley looked at the ticket, then
at the board: again he read the tick

1t, Foley. Shake, old chap, and tell
me how you did it'll"
The boys were disappointed in
Foley. 1t was the unanimous opinion
that he didn't behave at all like man
just snatched from poverty. Not a
dinner had he given to celebrate the
windfall. nor. strangest of all. had he
taken up any of the "dead-sure" prop
osftions that had been literary thrown
at his feet.
Dick Foley, with all his hard luck,
still retained conscience. This
prize ticket had come to him in such
an unusual way that he was quietly
making an effort to find the rightful
owner. For three weeks there had
appeared in all the Spanish papers a
carefully-worded notice inquiring for
a party who had lost lottery ticket.
eff the boys only knew" he chuckl-
ed. that l am indebted to a lady for

what had happened. Just how, he
was not altogether sure, himself.

Some Facts About Glass.

The Oldest specimens of glass are
traced back from 1,5OO to 1900 years
before Christ. These are of Egyptian
origin. Transparent glass is believed
to have been first used about $50
years before the Christian era The
Phoenicians were supposed by the
ancients to have been responsible for
the invention, and the story will be
recalled of the Phoenician merchants.
who, resting their cooking pots on
blocks of natron, or subcarbonate OF
soda, found that the union, under
heat. of the alkali and the sand on
the shore produced glass.
There is little doubt, however, that
the art of glass making originated
with the Egyptians 1t was intro
duced into Rome in the time of Cicero,
and reached a remarkable degree of
perfection among the Romans, who
produced some of the most admiral BILE
specimens of glass ever manufac-
tured; an instance is the famous Port

When he finally reached the platform

Four weeks had passed since the

OLD FASHIONED.
But Still in the Fashion.

1t is an ever new and interesting
story to hear how one can be entirely

20 or 80 minutes later 1 would be spit
ting my food up in quantities until I
would be very faint and weak This
went out from day to day until I was
terribly wasted away and without any
prospect of being helped.
~One day 1 was advised by an old
lady to try Grape-Nuts and cream
leaving OF all fatty food. 1 had no
confidence that Grape-Nuts would do
all she said for me as 1 had tried SO
many things without any help. But
it was so simple / thought 1 would
give it a trial she insisted so.
well 1 ate some for breakfast and
pretty soon the lady called to see her
patient as she called me and asked
If had tried her advice.
-'Glad you did child, do you feel
some better?'
mo 1 said, L do not know as
do, the only difference 1 can see is
have no sour stomach and come to
think of 1t 1 haven't spit up your four
teaspoons of Grape-Nuts yet
Nor did 1 ever have any trouble
with Grape-Nuts then or any other
time for this food always stays down
and my stomach digests it perfectly;
1 soon got strong and well again and
bless that old lady every time / see
her.
