Not railing for railing, not a

mouth. Silence: A word will
grieve, disturb, trighten away the
gentle love. Hush NOT a word.
are you misunderstood? Never
mino! Will 1t hurt your II luence
and weaken your power for goo?
Leave 1t to Him. His Is to take
care and charge. Are you wronged
and your good name tarnisheda
All right. Be 1t yours to be meek
and lowly: simple and gentle-not
a word. Let him keep you IN per-
feet peace; stay your mind on Him;
trust In Him. Hush! Be quiet
before the word and rest In Him.
Not word of argument, debate or

Never judge nor condemn, never
arraign nor censure. Not a word!
Never an unclean or an unkind ex

Never a dlsparaging remark of

Pause! Be still! SelaL Not a

silence before Him. Stiffness Is

Not a word ofmurmuring or com

This Is the way to honor and to

Not a word. I had a severe trial

brother In the cars, and opened
to him my heart, and poured out
my weighty burdens In his ears; I
took his earnest advice to my heart
His voice was not the mind of the

You could not trust me?' It broke
my heart. I confessed, was forgiv.

ABUSE OF HOSPITALITY.

Colonel William c. Greene, one Of the greatest
ranchers in the world-hs holdings Of Arizona
grazing land aggregate 100000 acres-spoke
on hospitality at a dinner in New-York-
Hospitality is an excellent thing" said Colo
mel Greene. but it is open to abuse. Let me tell
you how the Oriental hospitality Of Nasr Eddin
a great man of the East, was abused many
years ago.
From distant village a poor man came to
Nasr Eddin and made him a present of hare
Nasr Eddin was delighted with his gift The
poor man, on the strength Of it. stayed with him
a month.
a short time after, stranger came with his
entire family to Nasr Eddin's house.
We the stranger explained, are friends OF
the man who gave you the hare
aNTasr Eddin welcomed the visitors warmly
and they stayed two weeks.
They had not been gone long when another
family OF strangers arrived

you the hare the reply.

has also served TO make the time on shipboard
pass more swiftly and pleasantly for the pas
s-ngers. on several occasions chess matches
have been played between the passengers on two
different steamships travelling in the same di-
rect-on, bur out of sight Of each other. On one
such occasion the game was watched by the
passengers Of a third steamer whose apparatus
received the moves.
The life Of the wireless telegraph operator on
ship0Oard is not one round Of idle fun. He
must be- ready day and night to receive mes

he must feel" for the approach Of other steam

ment may refuse TO work and he must find out
the cause of the interruption as soon as possible
It means all night work sometimes when It is
known that another steamer is approaching the
circle of communication. This circle has been
increased from forty or fifty miles to one OF 15O
miles when conditions are favorable. Messages
have been received on shpboard from land
station at a distance OF l Dol miles, and the
letter IS" has been transmitted 2.099 miles

tunity TO demonstrate its usefulness
Wireless telegraphy has proved its usefulness
also as a means of determining ones position
in relation to the coas-. Captain D. H0gemauu
then in command Of the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse, on his arrival here in the winter Of
1902 had this to tell the newspaper men when
they boarded the steamer:
ITO show you how valuable wireless te-
legTaphy is on shipboard, let me tell you an in
cident on q recent voyage Of the Kaiser. The
revolving light on the Nantucket Shoals Light
ship was out Of order and the two fixed white
lights provided for such an emergency were
shown. II was q dark but clear night when
those lights came into view. We were doubtful
as to whether they were the Nantucket Lights
or not We knew the Nantucket Light alone
had wireless telegraph apparatus and sent this
message: Have you two fixed lights" The an
swer came back: We have. other out Of order "
On that particular voyage the steamer was in
communication with the Lucania which was
crossing in the same direction, for three con-
secutive days Another use for wireless teleg-
raphy was illustrated At that time ION Non

the Banks, we feIl into q heavy fog. and twenty
miles east OF the Banks ran into clear weather
again We signaued TO the Lucania that we
were that distance beyond the Banks and in
clear weather. We were then fifty or sixty
miles ahead Of her. The response which we re-
ceived was: we are still in thick fog Much
obliged" On another occasion the Lucania re-
ported her own arrival in port She had not
been sighted by the lookout at Fire Island be-
cause Of fog.
Money has, more than one occasion. been
transmitted by wireless telegraph on one occa-
sion a passenger on a steamer stopping at
Queenstown gave the Irish bumboat woman too
much money. The honest woman did not dis
cover the error until after the steamer had
sailed She turned the change, "A or Is. over to
the company, and il was transmitted TO the pas
senger through the purser.
A year or so ago a young man found himself
aboard a ship bound for home his passage paid.
but without money for incidental expenses and
for use when he landed. His mother was on
board a steamship passing in the opposite
direction. BY means Of wireless biography the
purser Of the ship bearing his mother to Europe
was communicated with and he laid the case be-
fore her. She gave him sum Of money and he
authorized the purser Of the other ship to pay a
similar amount to the young man.
On another steamer second cabin passenger
was found TO be without her ticket when the
steamer was ninety miles from Brow Head. She
said she had lost It By communicating with
the Office Of the company at Queenstown it was
learned that she had bought ticket as she
said. and the difficulty was arranged.
