The garments of the saints in hea-
ven are garments of praise, aye, and
the garments of the redeemed universe
will be of the same bright nature, for
thus it is written, "And every creature
which is in heaven, and on the earth,
and under the earth, anu such as are
in the sea and all that are in them,
heard l saying, Blessing, and honor,
and glory and power be unto him that
stitch upon the throne, and unto the
Lamb forever and ever"
"There no tongue shall silent be
But all shall join the harmony"
In other words, the garment Of
praise will be universal.-Henry
Force.

It is certain that each heart knoweth
born enemies with which we have to
contend; tempests of temptation that
sweep our path with all but irresisti-
BILE fury; nights of darkness, when
every star is hidden from our longing
eyes; times of shipwreck that leave us
with empty hands on the sad shore.
We must climb with weary feet many
a rugged path. But in spite of all this
life is not a losing fight to the soul
that will have the victory.
The text: But let patience have
her perfect work, that we may be per-
feet and entire, wanting nothing"
brings before us a great hope that
shines like the north star in the dark
est night. We may reach the perfect.
If we will we may be complete and
entire" wanting nothing. Life is for
ever struggling to reach the perfect.
Patience will have her perfect work
when we are able to work on without
worry or fret. 1t is friction that takes
the power out %of-life. The mightiest
forces are ~noiseless. There is soul
friction as well as friction in any
other realm. Wherever it is found it
makes impossible the best. Patience
can have her perfect work only when
there is persistent endurance to the
end. Patience, born of faith, ripened
by endurance, working in calmness,
looking forward with hope, mellowed
by sacrifices, steadied by the touch Of
a divine hand will lead to the goal
and sanctify life at the last.-Dr. p.
II. Swift.

The Glad Heart.

If o want to do work easily, get
a gay, glad heart. You know how
hard it is to do anything, how the les
sons drag, how the tasks seen to pile
up, when you feel a little sad or UNI
happy. On the contrary, any of us
can remember times when the work in
hand fairly flew, because our hearts
were so glad about something that the
fingers had to keep time to their joy
Gus beating.
But my thought to-day is as to the
excellence of the work done, rather
than the ease or rapidity of the per-
Torrance. Good work is almost al
ways joyous. Heart sunshine gets
into the painters colors and %brightens
all the dull, dead pigments. BY and
by people get to talking about it. The
canvas CLOVIS and throbs with the life
pulse of genius!" The life-pulse of
love and happiness, rather. The
painter has told nobody, but they
found it out, those careless onlookers.
They knew his heart was gay as he
painted in that t~rudging berry-picker,
! those sheep and cattle feeding in the
meadows. Might he not have paint
ed the same thing in a trouble-filled
house, with new griefs knocking at
the door? No, not the same thing.
Something must have been lost out,
some sad thing have crept in. Our
mood gets into everything, whether it
is shutting a door or making a picture
or poem.
So, then, for the sake of the good
that we can do, let us shut the door
on the whole sulking, frowning crew
of ugly feelings, and call in the good
little brownies of gladness and good
will. We shall wake to find that hap
Ply thoughts have noiselessly cleared
away our troubles overnight, and
fresh light will seem to be poured on
the old problems, bright IDEAS" find
some swift, sure way through all the
tangles. Bright, clear, %outlooking
eyes see better than tear-dimmed
ones. Every Sud and gloomy moment
is a waste of power.
But can anyone be always glad?
He can always keep the attitude of
gladness. He can hold his joy-cup
right side UP, so as TO catch any drop
of gladness. Eyes and lips can learn
to smile so easily that little pleasures
move them. 1t is a matter of habit
and training, quite as much as of nat
ural temperament, OF ven of circum-
stances. That being the case, do not
some Of us need to make us other
habits and start in on a new course
Of training? Not because We shall be
happier. more peaceful, richer every
way-that is all true, but It is not the
reason. The real motive ought to be
that we shall be stronger for our work
in the world, whatever it is. "Be
strong; be strong!"-how the Bible
echoes with the inspiring command!
And it adds, also by way Of explana
ton 'The joy of the Lord is your
strength."-Anna Frances Burnham.

Accidents In Profusion.

An extraordinary chapter OF acct.
dents has happened in connection
with the death of a young man in
South Tipperary, Ireland, a short time
ago. One man was drowned while
returning from the wake, and another
was hurt through his horse boiling
when returning from the anne func-
ton. On the day of the interment the
funeral passed a party bringing home
the drowned mans body while the
driver of the hearse fell of the box
and injured himself. Soon afterwards
one of the mourning coaches broke
down, and the mourners were obliged
to proceed in another vehicle.

The Garment of Praise.

are glad that they do. Some of them
at first sight anuse and amaze us, but
they would weary rs if they long re-

Of modes DEGREES something different,
for If it be better, so much the better,
and if worse, the memory of the dis
carded becomes less unpleasant. The
ingenuity of man must surely be taxed
to produce some of civilized society's
designs and patterns. Alas, that dress
takes up SO much of mortal thought,
as though to be well dressed were to
be well blessed.
Amid the changing wardrobes of
humanity from the early fig leaf
aprons down to the latest demands of
the Partisan costumers, | note some
dresses that remain much the same in
material and in style and cut. The
rough, heavy garments of sackcloth,
the habiliments of mourning, have
been known in all ages and worn by all
classes. Few are the souls that have
not at some time or other worn the
weeds of woe. The scarlet robes of
royalty have been for the few, but the
sackcloth of sorrow has costumed the
many. Rent garments have told their
story of sorrow and affection owe and
over again. If mistake not, the race
will not do away with all somber
habiliments for some time to come.
But there is a garment as beautiful
as these are doleful, a garment which
should be found in all wardrobes and
which can be properly worn in all sea-
sons and in all climes. The garment
of praise BELTS the human form. There
is no soul that may not wear it, with
it's frills of chant and song, and its
furbelows or hallelujah. There is no
other robe so truly regal as this. 1t
is the right privilege of every soul to
praise God. There are elements
enough in all lives out of which to
fashion the praise garment, nor is
there any proper occupation that can
at all %depreciate it or take from its
beauty. Our temples of worship are
the proper homes of praise, but God
seeks worshipers everywhere, and
would have every human habitation
made a temple OF praise. 1t is a good
thing to give praise unto God. The
effect of praise upon the grateful
heart is stimulating and strengthen
ing; it is at once restful. and recupera
tive.
1t is high time with some sorrowful
hearts that the garments of mourning
and heaviness should be exchanged
for this garment of praise. Tears have
their victories, but songs boast more
triumphs than do tears. The affairs
of mortals may in one sense be of

SKUNK OIL SCARCE.
Harvest for 1905 Is Poor, and Price Is
 Six Dollars a Gallon.

Prospect CMe.) Cor. New York Sun.
 Neither tradition nor the memory of living man runs back to time when Irospect was not the skunk oil me- tropolis of Maine. Even in the times when angleworm oil and snake oil ran skunk oil close race for leadership Prospect maintained its reputation for producing more slxunks to the acre and fatter skunks than any other town. In the days of the civil war General Hea- gin, veteran of the conflict with Mex ico, gained a reputation for benevo- lence and a small fortune by extract ing the oil from skunks and sending IL to the army hospitals for the relief of the stricken troops.
 The harvest of skunk oil TOT l90o has been very much below the aver age. due, 1t is said, to the fact that last June and July were cold and wet, and as grasshoppers hatch in these months the weather killed most of the insects in infancy. thus cutting on the food supply of the skunks. As an offset for the poverty in yield, the selling price of the oil has advanced froma$4 to $6 a gallon. and buyers are busy collect ing all the job lots on hand.

AFFECTION OF ANIMALS
 FOR THEIR MASTERS

"HE use of the horse and other ani-
 pensable in agricultural pursuits that an article concerning them and the kind of treatment they deserve from their owners may not be without interest and profit Let it be said in advance that nothing lowers any one in the estimation of right-minded people more than cruel ty to animals. It is cowardly, unmanly and un-Christian. says the New York World.
 It is known to some extent that domes- tic animals from very strong attachments to those who treat them kindly. There are numerous instances in which this has been exhibited some of them pathetic and others rather amusing.
 Among English authors of the egh- teenth century Laurence Sterne was re- garded as master of pathos, but among the authors of the present day Ian Macla- ran stands pre-emnent as a master hand in descriptive pathetic authorship. In the closing pages of one of his books. entitled Beside the Bonnie Briar Brush are two very pathetic incidents from his yer satile pen. One gives the last hours and sayings of an aged country physician named William MacLure, which few per sons can read without tear-mostened eyes,
 But more pathetic still, if possible, is the account given of the death of the horse that for years had carried him to the homes of the suffering and the bed

Game Butchers.

From the Scranton Times.
 Some men, or brutes. have strange ideas of sportsmanship. To shoot bewildered and frightened pigeons as they are loosed from trapsis sport" for some men. but the lowest-down "sportsmen" in our esti- nation are the landlords of big estates in England and the continent, where deer. pheasants, grouse and such game are bred, fed and tanned. throughout the year, until the hunting season opens," and then my lords and ladies' emperors. counts and lesser nobility, 'squires and anyone who owns a big estate, set forth with servants armed with many fowling pieces, and when the game" is cornered, my lord, his highness, his grace, or his whatever it may be. shoots into the focks or quarry and slaughters by the dozen or hundreds, as his bloodthirstiness demands.

side of the dying. This faithful beast, which had known for years no other mas ter than the doctor. was committed by him to the care of his most intimate and confidential friend, who gladly accepted the trust and gave the horse the most generous care.
 As the funeral procession passed the stable in which the horse was sheltered he whinnied as he caught the sound and seemed impatient at the unusual absence of the master he had served so long and well.
 Without showing any evidence of dis ease the horse soon refused all kinds of food. but was alert and watchful when the stable door was opened, as If ex- pecting and longing the masters return. veterinary surgeon was sent for who diagnosed the case and said no evidence of disease could be found.
 "If human being were affected in that way he said. q would say he was dying of a broken heart I once had a similar case. Medicine did no good. As an act of humanity the horse ought to be shot"
 But no one in all Drumtochy would do it. for that horse had brought the doctor to their homes So often in times of sick ness that everybody loved him for his own as well as for his masters sake.
 A day or two passed. the horse, still refusing to eat. was found in the early morning dead with open eyes and head turned toward the door. as if looking for his masters return.
 An affecting incident showing the fidel- ity of a dog Is found in the life and cam paigns of Napoleon the First. At the close of battle in one of his Italian cam paigns in riding over the battlefield with

yield quart of pure oil, which was worth $1, and this sum, added to the 5Oc to $2 received for the pelt, made skunk hunting an important industry for the farmers and their sons.
 The skunk hunters say that the crima of substitution has afflicted their trads more than any other, as dealers who are interruptions do not hesitate to dilute the genuine product of the skunk with ,y per cent or more of hens oil. which resembles skunk's oil in every respect except smell. By adding a small quantity of the favoring extract which skunks keep in stock the imita- tion article can be sold to customers without fear of detection.
 The practice of selling adulterted oils for genuine has become so wide spread that the hunters of skunks say that they will ask the next legislature to pass an act making adulteration Q crime punishable with heavy fine or Imprisonment. As science is unable to distinguish skunk's oil from hens oil -or goose's oil by any test except tn smell, it is feared that evidence sufn' cient to convict will be hard to secure

 Napoleon remarked in after years that strange as it might appear there was a pathos in the action of this dog that af- fected him more deeply than almost any event in his life.
 He had planned many battles, he had ordered and led many military movements which he knew would be attended with great loss of life, but in the excitement of warfore he had been stranger to the pathes r'rred within him by the sight of pres'"' te man forsaken by every human being hut his dead body watched over by his faithful dog alone.
 Horses have excellent memories. They are slow to forget harsh and brutal treat ment. and will hold kind. honest handling in long remembrance. Many years ago gang of horse thieves had at different times stolen number of valuable horses from farmers in the vicinity of Jefferson vile and Audubon in Montgomery Coun- ty. Pa.
 The thieves were at last captured near Wilmington. Del. near which city they had disposed of their stolen pronerty. One of the gang turned states evidence and revealed the places where the stolen horses might be found.
 A very worthy farmer-the writer knew him well-was taken to stable to identi- fy two horses stolen from his premises A few days before. The horses whinnied and gave every evidence of their pleasure as fhev caueht the sound of their former masters voice.

Facts About Marriage.

From HarperS Weekly.
 The historical facts concerning mar riage as an institution are probably only vaguely known to the majority of people. most of whom would doubtless be sur prised to learn that the institution. as we know it today, is less than 300 years old. Histories of the marriage ceremony show that 1t was not solemnized in church as a religious rite until the time of Pope Innocent H., A. D.. 119S, and was not considered a sacrament until TAP.
