Spiritual Life.

1t is possible for the Christian to live
in this world and not be contaminated
with it. I'm it. but not Of it." Some
one tells Of a curious little spider in
South America that has a home under
the water. It has the power of FORM
ing a bubble about itself in which,
like a diving bell, it sinks to the bottom
and will remain there for hours, living
below, but breathing the air from
above. When it comes to the surface
it. is found to be perfectly dry, not
the slightest moisture having penetrat-
ed the atmosphere in which it lived.
Even so may the believer be in this
world so surrounded by q heavenly
atmosphere that evil Will not contain
mate him.-The Rev. It. n. Fothergill,
in Homiletic Review.

Rich Evening Effects.

Brilliancy is the keynote. Should the
same color pace that has recently pre-
vailed continue. we shall outshine the
tropical birds IN q short time. At the
balls that have been given since the
holidays, dresses Of fairly barbaric gor-
geousness have dazzled the eyes Of the
~old-fashioned contingent who best like
soft pale grays, when they depart from
white. Though often becoming,
all this more or less neutral dressing
does not lend beauty to q ball room
scene. There must be contrasts if the
scene is to be brilliant. And not merely
contrasts! Black and white contrast.
Yet a black-and-white ball would be a
mourning ball. There must be con-
frasts of brilliant ~colors.-Washington
Times.

At the Night School.

Most pupils at night-school have a
purpose which makes them more in
teresting than pupils who study under
the usual conditions. In each Of the
ambitious men or women who seek
tardily what better circumstances
would have given them years before is
a strong character, the kernel Of a pa
thetic story, the dignity of sentiment Of
secret hope or shamed emulation.
Pupils at a night-school are indeed, the
picked and chosen, or they would not
be seen there at all.-Youth's Com
panion.

Pertinent Sayings.

Wait on the Lord, do not be IN a
hurry; let God guide; do not go Or in
front, and try to take the Lord with
you-that is leading the Lord.-Sydney
A. Selwyn.
One of the leading Methodist bishops
has said that Horace BusAnclls dehni-
ton Of faith, as the recumbence OF O
soul that is a sinner upon another soul
that is a Saviour" is almost inspired"
It certainly is more inspired than Jere-
my Taylor's definition: Faith is the
sacrifice of the understanding tc God"

Fresh Air Cure.

Yesterday afternoon Edward C.
Schmidt, of Appleton, and William
Odenbrett, the well-known piano man.
of Milwaukee, went up to their well
equipped summer cottage at Pages
Point, on the Fox River, to do a little
black bass fishing through the ice.
They were very successful, and before
retiring for the night they filed the
stoves with wood. The fires went
down, however, before morning, when
the thermometer registered twenty
nine degrees below. zero. Mr.. Oden-
brett awoke and found that one of his
EAR was frozen solid.-Chicago Inter

How to Judge Him..

The man up for larceny had admitted
his guilt when apprehended; but at the
trial, the Green Bag says, his youthful
counsel defended him with great OBJ
srinacy and unnecessary brilliancy.
"Gentlemen," said the Judge, regard
ing the jury with a benevolent smile,
1.-The prisoner says he is guilty. His
counsel says he is not. You must de-
eide between them" Then, after al
effective pause, the Judge added:
There is one thing to remember, gen
tlemen. The prisoner was there and
his counsel wasn't"

One evening, some time after her re-

Mad Fight of TRAPPED Eagle.

Jonas Nester, the phenomenal trap
per, of Dryville, had a fierce combat
with an eagle On Tuesday. He had
caught the big bird in a trap, but the
imprisoned bird attacked him and sunk
Its talons deep into his flesh.
The heavy chain attached to the trap
was all that prevented the eagle flying
into Nester's face. He finally killed
the bird, which measured seven feet
two inches from tip to tip.-Kutztown

Coi6nre Ornaments.

Couture, ornaments are numerous,
and as a rule rather expensive.
Wreaths are very becoming to women
whose. features are classic. The red
gold type looks especially well in dark
green leaves. There are many jeweled
combs and pins, real jewels being often
nsed. The limitations are clever and as
they are skilfully set their effect is all
that could be desired.

Hat Prices Lower.

Hats are reduced to very low prices,
and even in the best New York shops
beautiful models are sold at the Gus
toner's price. For $40 the handsomest
hats are purchasable. Five dollars and
even three buys pretty toQues and tur-
bans for which SIS and $40 were for
merly asked. These hat sales are rec
commended, for the materials alone are
often worth the price, and many OF the
models may be worn far into the
spring, and ever another season.

A Rainy Day Accessory

A rainy day accessory worth owning
is an umbrella to put in a dress suit
case. The handle and the top piece
are both hinged, and the umbrella folds
into a remarkably small space. Every
woman knows what a nuisance an um-
brella is when travelling. The suit
case is heavy, ones skirts or hat often
demand the other hand, and the UNI
brella is usually the last straw that
makes a journey a burden to the flesh.

Pe.ru.na Contains No Narcotics.

One reason why Peruna has found per
manent use in so many homes is that it
contains no narcotic of any kind. Peruna'
is perfectly harmless. 1t can be used any
length of time without acquiring q drug
habit. Peruna does not produce temporary
results. It is permanent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by reIcy-
ing the cause of catarrh. There are . null
titude Of homes where Peruna has been
used on and off for twenty years. Such a
thing could not be possible d Perrna con-
tanned any drugs of a narcotic nature.

IN THE BIRMINGHAM
 REAL ESTATE MARKET

'I have made several investments in local real estate in the past three years and in the past four months have sold two lots at well advanced prices" said one of the prominent young lawyers of this city yesterday.
 'eThe two lots spoken of were bought about two years ago and the recent sale of them netted profit of about $400. This gives one an idea of the amount of money that is being made on investments in To- cal real estate. If property in some local ities, bought five years ago, was held for another five years and then sold believe that in some instances one hun dred per cent profit would be made on the investment.
 'I have never heard of the real estate market of any city advancing as much as the local market has in the past few years and at the present the market is advancing more rapidly than ever"
