Cultivate kindness of heart: think well
of your fellow men; look with charity upon
thelshortcomings in their lives; do a good
turn for them as opportunity offers. and
finally, don't forget the kind word at the
right time. How much such a word OF
kindness, encouragement or appreciation
means to others sometimes, and how little
it costs lis to give it, We do not need tC
wait for some special occasion. When ca.
lamity overtakes a friend words of svmpa
thy and encouragement are offered sin,
cerely enough, yet, in certain respects as
matter OF course Such an occasion calls
for expression on our part, and we natur
ally respond, says the Luther League Re
view But why wait for an occasion! Why
not speak that kind word when there is no
special occasion? In the course of oul
lives there must be many times wheu
thoughtless words are spoken by us which
wound the hearts OF others. And there
are also many little occasions when the
word of cheer is needed from us, and we
are silent. There are lives OF wearisom,
monotony which a word OF kindness can
relieve. There is suffering which words Of
sympathy can make more endurable. And
often, in the midst OF wealth and luxury
there are those who listen and long in
vain for some expression OF disnterestcC
kindness. Speak to those while they car
hear and be helped by you, for the day
may come when all our expressions of love
and appreciation may be unheard. Imag

Temperance Work Among Sailors.

A great Christian Temperance work is
carried on in England in the Royal Sailors
Rests. No fewer than 965s pledges We're
recorded during the year, and of these 2OlS
were secured by seamen themselves on the
respective ships, those on small craft being
as earnest in the cause as those on large
votes her energies to the duties OF admin
istration in the Rests" says the London
Christian ''and with what conspicuous sue.
cess is demonstrated by the fact that 29j,.
900 men used the institutions during the
year; nearly 100000 meals were supplied
and the takngs amounted to f27OO0. The
profits We're devoted to the maintenance
and extension OF the general work. Re.

II, p; Danks, the composer, died recent
y IN Philadelphia at the age OF sixty-nine
lie was best known, perhaps, through the
song, Silver Threads Among the Gold !"
that he wrote in his youth
Mr.. Danks lived quite alone He had a
pathetically odd way of passing the time
when not at work before his organ. He
would, for several hours each afternoon,
sit in the huge railway station at Twelfth
and Market streets, watching the people
quietly.
Sometimes he would make cursory ac
qualntances at the station. Sometimes he
would nurrate to his friends odd remarks
that he had heard in chance encounters
Thus, one morning, he told OF an English
man who, the day before, had sat down
beside him and began to grumble about
American newspapers.
Mr.. Ddnks changed the subject to music.
but the other grumb!ed again. Finally,
pointing to the food of sunlight that
poured IN through the great window, Mr..
Danks said:
"A glorious day, isn't t?"
The other frowned and muttered:
Yes, locally It's probably raining
somewhere, though"

The So-Bar Liquor Shop.,

The worst evil to-day existing in New
York City in connection with the liquor
traffic is the no.bar whisky shop. | have
often wondered why, when the license was
raised the last time, these dcns Of iniquity
and destruction of physical and moral man
got off so lightly.
There is no more pitiable sight than to
see the wretches of all ages and both sexes
in their tattered garments spending their
last pennies for a bottle OF some alcoholic
concoction as they filter like phantoms on
Saturday night in and out OF these PAGES
During the day there is almost constantly
a set of drunken loafers within and in front
of these places.
Ii any one desires to convince himself OF
the havoc these places work among their
victims let him walk on Seventh avenue
between Twenty-siXth and Thrtv.second
streets. Similar conditions exist in many
other parts of the city. No beer or lighter
drink is sold here. 1t is the real poison
and nothing else that is dealt out without
restriction OF any kind.
| would rather there would he ten sa.
looms where there is some restriction and
every man is on his good behavior than
one OF the pestholes where man sinks to
the level of the beast and is heiped along
by the vendor of the vile stutf-Carbon, in

Mr.. Oswald Bullard, a cycle agent
at Royston. Herts, England. recently
told a strange story in the Probate
court of how a codicil to the will OF Q
testator named Edmunn Brook Num-

was riding a motor-tricycle to London
when the machine caught fire. and he
used his coat to put out the flames
The codicil was in the pocket and
was burned. Pressed by counsel, he
carefully opened a brown paper par

He also said that the testator had
given him power to use or destroy
the codicil as he liked.

First High Pews in Churches.

During the reign of William and
Mary in England a worthy bishop
complained to the latter that the
ladies of the court were wont TO fix
their eyes on their neighbors rather
than on him during his discourse. II
apparently never occurred to the di
vine that the fault might lie In the
sermons themselves.
BY consent of the Queen high pews
were introduced to prevent wander
ing eyes. "As for the young ladies
for whose spiritual welfare they were
Devised" says writer. their indig
nation was only surpassed by the
rage OF their admirers" From that
time high pews were very commonly
placed In churches.
