Getting at Lies Values.

Things that como easily are not OF
much value. Vacation time does not
often record noteworthy accomplish
ment. 1t is when the pressure of life is at
its highest, perhaps close to the break
ing point, that results usually count for
most. That time that we are looking
forward to. when this present grinding
pressure will be off and we shall have
an opportunity to do something, is not
likely to record nearly as good work as
we are doing under friction and stress.
Those particles of carbon might have
been nothing more than coal or graphite

upon us, let us rejoice at the opportun-
ity we have for getting at the precious
things of life.-S S. Times.

HABITS CHAIN.
Certain Habits Unconsciously Formed
and Hard to Break.

An ingenious philosopher estimates
that the mount of will power neces-
sary to break a lifelong habit would,
if it could be transformed, lift a
weight of many tons.
1t sometimes requires a higher de-
gree of heroism to break the chains of
q pernicious habit than to lead a for
lorn hope in a bloody battle. A lady
writes from an Indiana town:
"From my earliest childhood I was
q lover of coffee. Before | was out
of my teens / was a miserable dys-
peptic, suffering terribly at times with
my stomach.
II was convinced that it was coffee
that was causing the trouble and yet
/ could not deny myself a cup for
breakfast. At the age of SO I was in
very poor health, indeed. My Sister
q coffee drunkard.
But I never could give up drinking
coffee for breakfast although it kept
me constantly i'll, until tried Postum.
I learned to make 1t properly accord
ing to directions, and now we can
hardly do without Postum for break
fast, and care nothing at all for coffee.
Il am no longer troubled with dys-
pepsia, do not have spells of suffering
with my stomach that used to trouble

The Uncertainties of Revelation.

Inquirers, you tell me, demand GER
~tainties. They clamor for immediate
and unequivocal Doubtless,
and overlook the fact that divine wis
dom rarely vouchsafes such. Gods re-
serve is vastly more edifying to the
docile soul that mans d%ogmatism. If
Gcd's book had had the average man
for it's author no doubt it would have
abounded in direct and categoric replies
to all questions. But alas, impatient
souls, it is not SO. We must accept and
adjust ourselves to the limitations and
uncertainties to which infinite wisdom
has seen fit to subject us, even in the
realm of revelation. Nay, these very
disabilities are suited to nurture a
reyerent sense of dependence, a prayer
full search for guidance, which in them
selves are consummate blessings and
which in the end will inherit the prom
ises.-J. Henry Thayer.

brother-in-law forced her to leave his
house. Then she became acquainted
with DR.. Wallace S. Springsteen, and
the marriage of the two took place on
December 3, 1888, and within II days
the doctor applied for a divorce. DR..
Springsteen became suspicious of her
and hired detectives to investigate her
stories concerning herself, and learned
for the first time that she had a sis
ter in the city and the story of her
difficulties with the money lenders.
He also learned of her birth in East
wood, Ont, in 1857, and her trial for
forgery at Woodstock in 1879, of which
charge she escaped conviction on the
plea of insanity. Soon after the di-
vorce was granted, which was asked
for on the grounds OF infldelity, DR..
Springsteen received a letter from a
Buffalo attorney informing him that
Mrs. Springsteen was stopping at one
of the best hotels there, and that she
had empowered him (the attorney to
draw $4,000 on DR.. S%pringsteen on the
grounds that she had submitted to a
separation. The doctor Immediately
denounced her as an impostor.

She was one of eight children, six
of whom we're girls. Those who knew
her father say he was a plain, honest
man. who worked industriously and
supported his family TO the best Of
his ability. There is no record of &C.
centr;city in the girlhoOd years of
Elizabeth Bigley. In 1873, however,
she seemed to have begun the strange
career of adventure which she has fol-
lowed ever since. 1t is recorded that
on November 81, 1878, Elizabeth Big
ley called at a barber shop in Brant-
ford, Ont, and asked to have her hair,
which was hanging over her shoulders,
cut off. This having been done, she
asked for a false mustache. When at
length she sought to raise money on a
gold watch the police were called in.
Her father was communicated with
and she was taken home. Her pecul-
i~arities were soon made more manifest.
1t became known that she was in the
habit of carrying a card on which were
the words: Miss Bigley, heiress to
s15. 0O0." To support this role she made
many expensive purchases. She
bought $3.50 worth of dry goods with
a note Endorsed by a wealthy farmer

HIS MOTHERS PRAYERS.
How They Saved One Man from a
Suicides Grave and Made
Him a Preacher.

o, the saving power of a mothers
dren may grow up apparently inditfer-
ent to their home-training; they may
even become vile and profiigate; but
the memory of the family altar, the
fathers Bible and the mothers prayers
will cling to them. These thoughts
should encourage Christian parents to
live consistently in the presence OF their
children, and to persist in maintaining
the family altar.
DR.. J. Wilbur Chapman relates the
following incident, which is in point
right here:
'One of my dearest friends was a
profligate until he was a man grown.
In a great western city he had deter
mined to take his life, threw himself
down on his bed just to collect himself
before the awful deed, and Jared a lit
tie book off from a shelf just above his
bed, and it struck him in the face. With
an oath, he threw it from him, and then
it dawned upon him that it was his
mothers Bible, given him to read. He
walked across the room to pick it up,
just to show her some mark of respect,
and read upon the flyleaf, written in her
own hand: Dear boy, you can never
get away from your mothers prayers
Instead of becoming a self-murderer, he
became one Of the country's greatest
preachers.

having a family altar in the home.

the mother as a saint; we could stir

that we might dig again the well that

What pranks were INDUCED in and to
what fantastic limits this money mad
oma went in order to shower luxury
upon the young girls only they them
selves know. This much, however, be-
came known when they returned to
Cleveland. Mrs. Chadwick went into
the private Office of the head of the
big jewelry firm here and displayed IL
exquisite miniatures painted on porce-
lain by N Of the greatest Partisan art
lists and had them framed in solid gold.
Buys Store Full of Toys.
Just before Christmas several years
ago. Mrs. Chadwick walked into a
Cleveland toy store and pulled out a
written list that, according to the store
officials, was two yards long. Nothing
but toys was on the list, and when Mrs.
Chadwick had finished buying. her bill
was in the neighborhood of $500. Dolla
galore were bought. Mrs. Chadwick
saying that she wanted something like
100, the price to range from one to
three dollars each. Personally she
made no selections, leaving that to the
clerks who waited on her, but when
the bill was presented it was paid at
once. The toys were distributed among
the orphan asylums and the different
children's wards in the hospitals and
many a heart vas gladdened that
Christmas by the benevolence Of the
unknown person, as Mrs. Chadwick ex-
pressly stipulated in buying the goods
that the recipients must not know
where they came from.
Such, it is said, is a brief history of
the mysterious woman whose audacity
has staggered the whole financial
world. The suit filed by Mr.. Newton
has led to the unfolding of the mystery,
and but for it she might still be con-
tinuing her operations.

It is because most women suffer from
some arrangement OF their delicate

less trying when they are in motion
than when standing.
In some states laws compel employers
