In 2 Dutch Village.

At Marken, fishing village OF Hol-

are nearly always out at sea in their
boats. Those whom one does see are
like Dutchmen in q play, in queer

a coasting skipper once said, the

fisher folk look, but they are handy In

Through Sorrows Gate.

There are many things, besides sor-
rows self, that come through sor-
rows gate-gentleness tact, sympa-
thy, strength, beautiful traits of char
acter, which seem to find no other
mode of entrance into life. Long for
unclouded joy as we may, it still re-
mains true that few of us would
choose for our most valued friend one
who has never suffered. The eyes that
have not known tears must needs lack
something of tenderness. The heart
that never has been torn with an
guish and loss has never sounded its
own depths, and cannot measure those
of another. The soul grows strong
through storm and conflict, If it ever
grows strong at all, and, however sweet
nature may he, we find it incomplete
and unsatisfying if it has never known
the softening, hallowing touch OF
grief. There are dark pages in our
lives where we would gladly have
changed the story if we could. There
are wounds that still ache, and losses
that even yet are hard to bear; but
however we may feel about the sor'
row itself, there are few of us who
would be willing to give up all that
it brought and taught us-to be just
what we were before it touched us
There are some precious gains that
come through sorrows gate.

OF Vide Interest.

Charles Y. Peterson, Justice OF the
Peace for Oconto Co., has delivered
a judgment that is of interest TO the
whole United States. Put briefly, that
judgment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills are
the best Kidney medicine on the mar
ket to-day"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason
for this judgment. He says: Last
winter ! had an aching pain in my
back which troubled me very much.

REJOICING in Tribulation.

This is contrary to the flesh, but in
harmony with grace. Men naturally
shun what is disagreeable and irk'
some. To endure tribulation with joy
it must be of kind which has not
come upon us by our own folly and
sin. If we bring trouble and hardship
upon ourselves by our own wrong
doing, we should mourn and repent
rather than rejoice. But If for fidel'
ity to truth and devotion to Christ we
suffer, then we can rejoice that we
are accounted worthy to enter into
the fellowship Of his sufferings. TIC
such Christ speaks: "Be thou faithful
unto death, and l will give thee q
crown of life"
Such as bear trial for Jesus patient
ly and joyfully, thereby give n good
and effectual testimony of the reality
and beauty and helpfulness OF the
Christian religion. The world has re
spect and reverence for a Christie:
who is himself living example OF the
faith he processes. But the undegen
crate despise hypocrisy in religion
and take a discriminating view Of
practical Christianity as they read II

Soldiers Superstitions.

Among the numerous superstitions
of the Cossacks there is none stronger
than the belief that they will enter
Heaven in better state IL they are
personally clean at the time they are
killed. Consequently, before an ex-
pected battle they perform their toilets
with scrupulous care, dress themselves
in clean garments, and put on the
best they have. This superstition is
not confined to the Cossacks alone,
but is widely prevalent in all branches
of the Russian army.
