Made such racket that Il nigh scared
Dobhin IN the ditch;
The sermon fairly Teeked with words no

From good old brother DaR'l Virgins, atty

The orgaR was NEST wonderful; but then Il
seemed TO me
IL didn't sound as rey'rent as Il somehow

That thrilled my soul those Christmas times
Of atty years ago.
And through that good old anthem seemed
taken back once more
To where my soul could see across, clear TO
the golden shore.
l Joined and sang, The Lord IL comei Let
Earth Receive Her King!
Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room, and
Heaven and Nature sings
All, twas a song to swell the hearti The
organ Numbered loud
And carried grandly heavenward the voices
Of the crowd:
My soul looked cut beyond the earth aud
saw the CLEAN and glow
Across the walls u jasper where the living

And over an heard a voice rise hIgh. and
A girls sweet voice angelic boating down,

Its melody swift tangled In my tender

There came to me vision from that Christ

In England a mans wife Is in real
fly his partner; and whether or not the
two are in harmony with each other in
affection. In all material things they
recognize that their fortunes are IRE
%ocably bound together; that the In
terests Of both are quite identical. and
that each has just as strong a motive
for making things go wen as has the
other, since they share equally the la
Dor and the reward Of labor. They
may have their private dlsagreements;
but they front the world together. The
wife takes the keenest interest in the
most minute details OF everything that
affects her husbands welfare. She
knows his income to a penny. She
manages her household as a chancellor
OF the excheQuer manages the nations
outlay, so that the annual budget shall
not only avoid a deficit and shall ac-
curately balance, but so that II shall
show q surplus. She will practice q
rigid economy II necessary and in do

sentiment in an English household az

10 Prevent Taking Cold.

The little folks often catch cold be
cause their sleeping room grows cold
before morning. A little knit wool
cap is q good thing for the head in
such cases. A child may catch cold
IN winter By standing at the window
for q long time. There are draughts
about windows that will give stronger
and older ones colds. A light wrap
thrown about the toddier who likes TO
look out the window will prevent all
the mischief. When taking the baby
out in his coach for an airing on cold
day place a hot water bottle under the
blanket I'm the bottom of the coach.
Let the children able to run about
romp and play outdoors in cold wealth
er. But do not take them for long
slow walks.
II a child has been exposed to a cold,
six or eight drops of spirits Of cam
phor on a lump OF sugar or in a little
water. given as soon as he gets home
will often prevent the cold from de
veioping. Rich greasy diet and a bad
~ ventilated sleeping room will give q
child constant colds.
People with even slight catarrhal al
fections should conscientiously refrain
from kissing children on the mouth
md this applies more Figidly to thu
mother than anyone else. because sht
Is the one who kisses the child tn
most, and win most readily impart tn

with the naval demonstration
that took place on Tuesday evom-.

Capt. Lindquistve and Rear

accident or design the nozzles
got turned on the hosemen, and
the naval battle was at once
begun without any formal decla-
ration of war. The Japs had

poop deck, and he made a loop
that com manded the admiration
of all beholders, and with his
face to the rear he boldly and
rapidly made a determined rush

never stayed his fight ptil he
had crossed the Milestone.
This piece of strategy, which
Pepkevoski had learned from
reading Russian war reports,
