Serving One Another.

There is much we can do for one
another, as the days come and go, in
the way of sympathy. cheer, helpful
ness. We cannot well do without one
another. None of us liveth unto him
self; We cannot live unto ourselves it
we should try to do it. Each OF us be-
longs to those about us, and it should
be our glad business to serve in every
possible way. And yet-in the really
great hours we find ourselves alone.
The kindly hand. willing as it may be,
must %relinquish its hold, and the life
go out to meet it's great crises, alone.
face to face with One. who is not of
the flesh, SO that he is NO a stranger.
How pathetic, says the Baptist Union,
is the plea OF Christ for sympathy in
the gardens if they could only have
watched with him one hOurt But it
was not possible; he had to tread the
winepress alone; he met the great
crisis, face to face with the Father.
There was a line beyond which the hui
man heart, loving eve so strongly,
could not go. And yet who shall say
that the service we render each other
here does not materially sustain and
strengthen in that great hour when
life seems so utterly alone! Withhold
not help from thy friend, nor stay the
tide of love and sympathy he SO much
needs-to-day. Tomorrow it may
nerve him for the hour when he stands
alone, face to face with the unseen!

EVERYBODY HAS TROUBLES.
So Don't for a Single Minute Think
Your Lot Is Harder Than That
Of Anyone Else.

Don't think when the clouds of ad-
versity hang heavily over you that
your lot is harder than that of every
divided in this world, and no matter
how bad the trouble is, bear in mind
the fact that it might be worse.
No one goes through life without his
share of sorrow. Some fortunate peo-
pie are able to throw 1t off and rise
again buoyant and hopeful; others are
conquered by their troubles and never
rise above them.
Don't assume that the man or wom-
an with the CHEEKY face and
have never known grief. Their sor-
rows, says the Chicago American, may
have exceeded yours tenfold, but they
have simply made up their minds to
make the best of things and present a
brave face.
There is enough sorrow in the world
without adding to it by going around
with a long drawn face and whining
manner. With the responsibilities OF
manhood and womanhood come cares
and trials; we cannot escape them, be-
cause we cannot live and love without
sometimes seeing the reverse side OF
the shield.
But we need not meet trouble half
way, and we need lot succumb to the
little worries, for if we do we have no
strength left to fight the big ones when
they come.
Nearly every cloud has a silver lin
ing if we only look hard enough to find
it, and it is well to remember that
sometimes the very thing that brings
sorrow t us brings JOY to some n
else.
1t is a great mistake to expect too
much sympathy from our friends. Up
to a certain point they will ~sympathize
and listen patiently to u tale of woe;
but too much woe tires ever the most
ready sympathizer, and if we always
carry a sad face We will find we are
left much to ourselves.
Nothing commands so much respect
and sympathy as trouble bravely borne.
A smile makes more friends than a
whine and a hopeful nature is a great
blessing. .
Things are always at their very
darkest just before a turning point.
Let us learn to take the bitter with the
sweet. to make the best of our woes
for the sake of our joys.
Into each life some rain must fall"
but some of the showers are only sun
showers after all, and let us take
refuge under the umbrella of hope and
watch for the rainbow that is shining
brightly across the dark clouds.

A LITTLE ESSAY ON MUSK.
If You Want to Be Left Severely
Alone Scent Yourself Lib
orally with the Stuff.

If you are going to travel, by sea or
by land, scent yourself with musk. 1t
will ward off everything and everybody
from you, dangers and moths included.
1t is generally agreeable to all man
kind. 1t is so sweet and refreshing,
and such an air purifier! In railroad
cars, where there is 10 air to speak of,
and everybody who does not smell of
smoke and onions, smells of Goldfish
and old cider, it is especially delight
full.
1t doesn't make anybody sick at the
stomach, and no w~ell-regulated head
would ache on account of it, and the
man who would get profane, and talk
about woodchucks, and polecats, and
water rats, in connection with the
smell of musk, ought to be condemned
to- ride second-class forever, between a
fat woman carrying home-smoked her
ring and a colored nursegirl with a
baby hat smells of o milk.
At church, musk is delightful. 1t is
the very "odor of sanctity." The cler-
gyman can preach better for it, and the
bald-headed deacon and the long-noSed
sexton can sleep better and snore loud
err with it odorous fumes waited to
their nostrils with every gentle wave
of your pocket handkerchief.
People who do not like it are Ill
bred. 1t is the perfume Of the rich.
Empress Josephine was fond OF 1t, and
we don't know whether that fact had
anything to do with Napoleon's getting
divorced from her or not.
Scent yourself literally. Don't be
afraid. Don't be stingy. Make your
self smell in the world. if you cannot
make yourself distinguished.
1t is a land of freedom, this is! Ev-
erybody has a right to smell as he
chooses, and if everybody else does not
like the odor, why he can plug his
nose.-N. Y. Weekly.

knots of velvet and the jabot is of lace.
The other gown is of champagne
colored wolfe. The skirt is composed Of
box-plaited breadths, alternating at the
top to little rounded tabs. The box
plated breadths are ~ornamented with
buttons and cords matching the gown.
The b~olero-like bodice is gathered at
the top and again at the bottom, and
is trimmed with the cord, forming mo-
tits. The fronts of the blouse are fin
ished with revers of white silk en-
broidered in delicate colors, and open
below over a waistcoat of champagne
colored silk ornamented with cord, or
passementerie motifs to match. The
plastron is of white silk or linen and
the corslet girdle is of the material or
of silk of the same shade.

FURNITURE MADE AT HOME.
Comfortable Combination Settee and
Table for the Porch of Odd
and Pleasing Design.

A combination settee and table can
be made to De used and left OF the
porch. If one likes the rustic" this
could be made of unplaned lumber, the
seat and arms and back being rubbed
with coarse sandpaper to take off the
worst of the roughness that would be
likely to catch on the clothes.
1t might be we'll, perhaps, to plane
the upper side of the table top, though
that, too, might be left rough to be
used without a cloth. This piece could
be left to be "grayed" by the weather,
or could be made of boards already
weathered, or the gray could be start
ed with a stain. A water stain (ani-
line) might be better than an oil stain,
because little of the stain could be
wiped off and unless the oilstain were
very thin it would look too much like

The Proper Care Of Clothes.

After the walking dress has been re-
moved the skirt should be well brushed
and hung in the wardrobe on two hooks
by means of two loops. Or, better still,
fold it carefully in the seams, pin to-
gether at the band and suspend, SO
pinned, on the hooks. Some wardrobes
are now made with movable hangers,
which are very useful. Goats should al
ways be stretched upon hangers when
not in actual use. Stoles and boas,
whether of feathers, chiffon or fur, are
always freshened up and benefited by a
gentle shaking in front OF the fire after
wear on a wet day. The feathers be-
come quite crisp again under such treat
ment, while the chiffon loses the
wrinkled, curled look that rain gives it.

How God Is Working.

A new stone church is being erected
at Tembo, Sierra Leone, West Africa,
in the mission of the Church Mission
airy society. Memorial stones were LAID
in the foundation, says the Christian
Work, and the missionary writes: AT
the service preceding the ceremony, I
noticed a man, rather smartly clad in
native dress, and on inquiring | was
told he was a Mohammedan owning q
mosque of his own, but a w%orshiper
in the church every Lords day. To
my surprise l found him among those
desiring to lay memorial stones. The
words he was asked to repeat after me
were something of the nature of a
prayer for his conversion to the faith,
to which there was a loud amen"

THE GREAT LOVE LETTER.
Written by God for the Instruction
and the Guidance of
Man.

1t Is charming to see the sweet and
tender interest there Is in a love let
ter from a dear one far away. The let
ter from father, mother, wife or sis
ter to the absent one. 1.-THE greatest
thing in the world is love-" and these
letters are as full of it as the summer
day is of warmth and sunlight. 1t is
love that lends the charm to the pre-
cious pages. The tenderness that
breathes from them, cheers in trouble
and dependency. 1t soothes heart
aches as if by magic.
These love letters are read over and
over again and carefully saved as the
most precious treasures, especially ii
the one who wrote them has gone up
the shining way. Often, too, a moth
er's letter is a mighty weapon against
temptation.
This suggests the source of all love
For the name of our All Father is
Love" We read, writes George May
Powell. in the great Love Letter He
has handed down to us from above the
stars, God is Love-"
But do we treat this Love Letter as
we will wish we had done, when ''the
Angel with one foot on the sea and
the other on the land swears that time
shall be no longer?" 1t has well
been said, Nothing is either great or
small, except by comparison" If on
that day of joy to some, and sorrow
to others, it shall be seen that the time
l spent in reading this heavenly love
letter was insignificantiy small beside
that in which l vas reading novels, or
the daily newspaper. Especially the
Sunday newspaper that is the deadly
serpent singing the spiritual life out
of millions of individual souls, ruin
ing that life in the family and the
church, and so a peril to a Christian
nation; need | wonder If my spiritual
life is small and weak? So small thai
| am not fit to "enter through the
gates, into the city celestial?" Matt.

enlarged and intensified if my failure
to read the precious word has been in
the face of solemn Christian Endeavor

How many too, outside these organ

this Love Letter, would help to make
that decision. Can l 90 better than

A Living Sacrifice

DR.. Mason, of Burmah, once wanted
a teacher to visit and labor among a
warlike tribe. He asked his converted
boatman, Shapon, if he would go, and
told him that he would have only four
rupees a month as a teacher, whereas
he was then earning Is IS a boatman.
After praying over the matter he re-
turned to th@ doctor, and the follow
ing conversation ensued: "Well, Sha-
pon," said the doctor, what have you
decided; will you go for four rupees
a month";" mo, teacher" replied
Shapon. Il will not go for foul rupees
a month. hut l will go for Christ.
And for Christ's sake he did go.
