Little Things That Christ Makes
Great" 1 Cor, 1:25-2o.

Lesson Thoughts.
Every power is only an accumula
ton OF little forces. The might of the
ocean Is in is numberless water drops
the power of the storm is in gathering
to itself the gentle zephyrs; and the
vast Kingdom of God is a union Of
individual Christians.
Christianity means growth. and the
humblest disciple may become the
most nightly used of God
We cannot measure the power of
Gods instruments, for after all it is
his almighty power back of his in.
strument that gives it its force.
Selections.
Only little word:
But it stirred the depths Of living
heart
And there through the years and the
changes of life.
With its blessings and glory, its dark.
ness and strife.
The soul OF that little word shall abide
And nevermore depart
one SIN is enough to exclude us
from heaven. but one drop of Christ's
blood is sufficient to cover all our
sins.
Minute events are the hinges on
which magnificent results tun. In
watch the smallest link-chain or rat
chet, cog or crank. is as essential a.
the mainsprlng itself. If one falls
cut, the whole will stand still.
Chemists tell us that a single grain
OF the substance called iodine will i'm
part color to seven thousand times its
weight of water. 1t is so in higher
things; one companion. one book, one
habit may affect the whole of Life and
character.

Invisible flaw reduced its value by

not despse the day of small things
but know assuredly that Thou canst
make all things great. To Thee be

Bees as weapons Of Defense.

There are at least two recorded in.
stances in which bees have been used
as weapons of defense in war. When
the Roman general Lucullus was war.
ring against Mithrldates, he sent a
force against the city of Themiscyra.
AS they besieged the walls. the in
habitants threw down on them myri-
ads of swarms of bees. These at once
began an attack which resulted in the
raising of the siege. These doughty
little insects were also once used with
equal success in England. Chester
was besieged by the Danes and Nor
wegians, but its Saxon defenders
threw down on them the beehives of
the town, and the siege was soon
raised.

Clever sparrows.

One Of the prettiest sights as re-
CARDS seamen's pets was afforded by
six sparrows which were tamedeand
trained by an old bhejacket on board
coal barge. He had trained them
to such degree that they would
march in regular military order,
turning" and wheeling" as desired
by merely moving his hand. On each
of their heads he had fastened a small
piece of scarlet cloth, cut so as to
form cockscomb, which gave the
birds a very saucy appearance as
they went through their varied evolu-
tions.

Safety Watch Pocket

Numerous and ingenious are the
schemes which have been thought out
by individuals to outwit the pick
pockets who rob them of their watches
and pocketbooks, but the light-fin.
gered gentry seem to find a way to
ply their trade in spite of these him
ORANGES, possibly owing to the failure
OF the public to make use of the
safety appliances when they have
been introduced by the inventors. Now
an inventor comes forward with an
idea. He is perfectly willing to have
the thief get hold of the watch; in
fact, his device will not be brought
into operation at all until the watch
has actually been removed from the
pocket But then 1t Immediately be

In Society.

Awoman in society is obliged to keep
late hours. She must attend receptions
and balls. She seldom allows herself a
quiet evening at home. Her whole
time is taken up in keeping engage
ments or entertaining in her own home.
Her system becomes completely run
down as consequence. She soon finds
herself in "A condition known as sys-
temic catarrh. This has also been called
catarrhal nervousness.
If every society woman could know
the value of Peruna at such time, if
they could realize the invigorating,
strengthening effect that Peruna would
have, how much >ipt-ery could be
avoided.

Teasing the Palate.

Speaking Of the art of mixing
drinks reminds me Of thing l read in
q class paper the other day" said q
man who keeps his eye skinned for
the curious things, land the thing will
show us once again how much the
small things amount to. The line over
the recipe hereunder given was How
to make a Parision punch and how
appears in the language and quantities
below: Use q large punch bowl, into
which put six pounds Of sugar, then
add eight quarts of white burgundy,
two quarts brandy, three quarts creme
de curacao, two quarts lemon juice,
eight quarts mineral water. Now here
Is the point want to make: Does the
expert mean this is the way to make
q punch that is a drink for one per-
son? If SO he must mean that this is
the proper way to make a punch that
would be large enough for q continu-
Gus performance, one that could easily
fill out a lifetime engagement Maybe
he meant for a certain number Of per-
SONS. Why didn't he say SO? Why
play with the appetites and fancies of
men by holding out a large, juicy pic
ture of eight quarts of white bur-
gundy, two quarts of brandy-but, by
the way, what's the use of putting all
that mineral water in it? Eight quarts!
Gee! That's enough to drown a man."

ton now general among women gives
at once the means and the possibility
Of telling work IN the field outside the
home. OF what use is this education
unless applied to some practical pur-
pose? This, ! believe, is the underly-
ing thought that lives in most thought
full women. 1t is but another express
sion of the creative impulse common to
all
las to the right or wrong of married
women entering the business world il
would seem difficult to me to come to
any abstract decision. One woman can
scarcely judge for another. Personal
ly cannot understand how any moth
or OF young children can care to leave
them for the sake of any outside en-
deavor, but there are plenty of women
with no ties OF this kind. And, as to
the theory that the married woman in
business IS unjustly occupying the
place of the unmarried worker who
must earn her own bread and butter.
The moment work becomes IN the
slightest degree individual or distinc-
tive this theory is disproved. And 1
cannot think that the repression or
elimination of the creative impulse
that sends the otherwise unoccupied
married woman out into the larger
deld could be productive of any good"

Tinted spectacIes For Beauty.

Tinted spectacles," said New York
optician who makes a specially Of
them, ARE mainly for women who de-
mand that their beauty as we'll as their
sight shall be considered. A light gray
or a pale blue eye looks very weak and
unattractive through ordinary eye
glasses. By slightly tinting the lens
We can add very much to the color of
the pupil of the eye and to the general
attractiveness of the face. The tint
ing does not at all interfere with the
magnifying properties of the glass. In
fact, some Oculists send US prescrip-
lions for tinted glasses, maintaining
that for blue or gray eyes they are
far superior to the ordinary crystal
glasses. Blue eyes absorb more light
than brown eyes, so that any temper
ing of the suns rays is sure to be bene
fetal"

Hurts the Hair,

bald. To be sure, it will not be quite

forehead reaching to the middle Of

One way of preventing its becoming
noticeable is when arranging the hair

site direction from which it has been
worn all day. This rests the hair and
keeps it from becoming warped In one
