How many churchgoers realize the strain under
which their pastor labors?
How many appreciate the fatigue that follows
his Sunday work? The nerve-rackng, bran-wearing
duties that endure from weeks end to weeks end from
the beginning Of the year to the close and from one year
to another?
But this cannot go on forever. Sooner or later
minister pressed feels his energies waning. After
while there is break-down-a physical and mental
collapse If he could only get out into the country for

impossible thing We know that no minister can spare
the time for this Neither any other business

Of reliance on the indications Of dis
ease which are furnished by the
tongue. Even yet an inspection Of
the tongue is one Of the routine prac-
tees Of the physician in his profess
siona visits. The tongue not only
tells of the condition of the stomach
and digestive organs. but also gives
much valuable information regarding
the state Of the blood and of the ner-
vOus system.
In simple indigestion due to want
of tone in the stomach and intestines
the tongue Is broad and fiabby. the
sides showing indentations from pres.

covered with thick white fur with
a yellowish or brOwnish tint
In chronic disorders Of the stomach
and other digestive organs the tongue
is usually more or less dry and its sur
face has a glazed appearance. with
patchy whitish or brown coating.
In irritable or intiammatory affec-
tons of the stomach the tongue Ia
elongated. and pointed, dry. Of
bright red or a brown color. and Its
surface Is sometimes cracked or fur
rowed. The furrowed tongue is also
indicative in many cases Of kidney dis

In feverish conditions the tongue Is
almost always coated and more or less
dry, the degree of dryness often in
creaslng with time and the height Of
the fever.
In protracted typhoid and typhus fe-
vers and other affections in which the
vital forces become greatly depressed.
the tongue is covered with brown or
blackish fur. is dry and hard, and
the surface scanned with deep cracks.

Ne WHY Married Woman's Peace of Soul.
The basis of a newly married wo-
mans peace Of soul is trust. She feels
that the responsibility is on her hlls-
band to make good the manly quail
ties with which she has endowed him,
and because Of which she has CON
scented to become his mate. Occasion
ally during the first few months of her
married life Constance laughed to think
that all her maidenly eagerneSs to solve
the riddle Of life brilliantly, and all
her profound searching Of the mystic
ries Of the universe should have end
Cd in her becoming an everyday house
wife with dustpan and brush. and the
wife of one who, to all outward APP
pearances. was an everyday young
man. But her laugh savored of glad
ness. She had given herself to him
because she had faith that his energy,
selfreliance. fearless humor and SYM
pathetic hatred Of shams would dis
tinguish him presently from the COM
mon herd Of men. and vindicate her
lnfatuation. She had given herself to
him. besides, because he loved her

ly. she enclosed herself in the web of
happiness which her confidence in him
had spun about her, and took up her
domestic duties with light-hearted de

If nothing else, she has seen his men,

undress, so to speak, and become habit
uated to their sublmity. We may be
no less fond of person whose anec-
dOtes have grown familiar to us, and
analogously a wife does not weary OF
her husbands qualities merely because
they have lost the glamOr of novelty.
On the contrary she is apt to continue
to adore them because they are his.
Still she feels free to scrutinize them
closely and-unconsciously at least
to submit them to the test of her own
silent judgment She discovers, too,
of course that he has ideas and lido
syncrasies the existence Of which she
never suspected.
Ordinarily she finds to her surprise
that his attitude in regard to this or
that matter has shifted perceptibly
since marriage, so that, instead Of be-
ing lukewarm or ardent, as the case
may be, he has become almost st1enu-
GUS or indifferent In his attitude. Hence
she divines that during their courtship

cies have been kept In retreat--FrOm

Two ships, which for time
Beside each other lay.
At anchor in II foreign cline.
Together sailed one day.
A while. across the main
The self-same course they took,
Until mighty hurricane
The seas with fury shook.
Then. by the tempest tossed
When it had Overblown
Each captain mourned his consort lost
In ocean depths gone down.
Both vessels onward sailed
Toward England's southern shore.
But neither all the voyage hailed
Or saw its fellow more.
At length in thickest night,
One entered plymouth Sound:
And. 10, when broke the morning bright.
They side by side were found.
How many on life's seas.

Sailing together in the breeze,
In storms part company!
But when the voyage ends,
And storms aud gloom are past

Shall meet in port at last.

eral days for the Chicago police to es-
tablish as a fact whether it was a

most 900 lives by igniting the pros

not the only person to whom these
terms are Greek.
The "spot light" Is n small handy

and throws clear strong light on a

For years they were kept in the bal

spot lights located in as many parts

bridge" on either side of the stage
and even one and sometimes two di-
rectly under them. In the latter in
stance they dance on French plate
glass.
The spot light occupies but small
space and is mounted OIL pivOts. SO
that 1t can be readily swung in any d.
rection. 1t Is considered safe, because
it's fire is enclosed on all sides by a
metal casing and the glass lens In
