"Thou Art MY Light"

A touching incident was narrated by
DR.. r. f. Horton on the second Sunday
after his return from months OF treat
ment by a celebrated German oculist.
He was waiting in the oculists con-
sulting room, not knowing whether or
not the remainder of his life was to
be passed in darkness. when he put his
hand into his pocket and drew out his
little Bible-not to read it. but to see If
he could. AS he opened it his eyes fell
on the text:
For Thou are my lamp, o Lord;
and the Lord will tighten my dark
ness"
Il had not been aware Of the very
existence of this text" he said, "and
l do not know who but an angel could
have led me TO it; but felt that,
whether I received my sight or not.
those words We're enough for me. and
from that time l seemed to know that
should continue to proclaim the words
of this blessed Book"

Great Bank Saueezes Pennies.

The Worlds Work, in recent Is
sue. shows how carefully the First
National bank of Chicago looks to its
postage account Stamped postal
cards are not used, and not cne OF
the thousands of routine letters that
are written every day is stamped and
sealed until the whole routine mail
of the day Is assembled in the after
noon. Then all the cards and letters
to one correspondent are put in sin
gle envelope, and-except for letters
from the officers and the like-the
bank comes as near as possible to get
ting its entire mail carried at 2 cents
an ounce, or 1 cent for every postal
card, instead of often paying 2 cents
for quarter Of an ounce, as 1t would
have to do if every communication
we're sealed and stamped separately.
This little matter of getting full value
out of 2 cent stamp makes a saving
of s25 to $50 a day."

he was biscuit manufacturer on

to boast about the number of eggs
which his firm bought in the course

calamity five eggs are broken into a
bowl at a time before being added to

eggs. They become so expert that a

Duty Above Life.

Life is matter of very small ac-
count to any one in comparison with
duty-doing, whether man realizes
this truth or not. Whatever Is worth
living for is worth dying for, If dying
be an incident to its pursuing. When
the Roman General. Pompey, was
warned against the danger Of his re-
turning from Egypt to Italy, to meet
4 new trouble in his own land, his
heroic answer was: 1T Is a small mat
ter that l should move forward and
die. 1t is too great matter that
should take one step backward and
live Life is never well lived when
it is held dearer than duty. He who
would tell lie in order to live Is will
ing to pay great deal larger price for
his life tnan that life is worth to him
self-or to others.-H. c. Trumbull.

BLEW DOWN CITY WALL.
People of Leipsie Reminded of the
Fate of Jericho.


We have been hearing good deal
about the walls of Jericho lately, and,
therefore, it is curious that we should
have an actual example of the power
of a trumpet-blast occurring in Europe
to-day.
A short time ago, at Leipsic, the
conductor of a brass band used to
train his musicians in his garden.
which was bounded by the old walls
of the city.
One day, wben they were practicing
a grand march they came to passage
in which all the trumpets had to blow
fortissimo, and, as they gave one final
blast all together, they were aston
ished to see the old wall suddenly
crumble and topple over into the
fields outside.
Happily, the only result was that
the COWS in the meadows were fright
ened, but it is evident that the walls
of Leipsic are even more unstable
than were the walls OF Jericho

Ever Tried Coffee This War :.

It is a wellknown fact that even ths
best of housekeepers cannot make really
good coffee without having the proper ma
terials.
They will NEVER make it with coffee Of
doubtful origin, adulterated, queerly
blended, and possibly dirty coffee that has.
perhaps, been mixed up with all kinds OF
other things on the counter.
But let them take package OF LION
CoFFEE-the purest and cleanest-and the
brand universally used throughout the UNI
ted States for over twenty-five years. Mill
ions drink it daily, and get the best re-
suits if it is made in the following way:
Try it once and you will never want to
try any other brand of coffee.
HOW TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE.
Use LION COFFEE, because to get best
results YOU must use the best coffee.
Grind YOU LION COFFEE rather fine.
Use Tablespoonful to each cup, and one
extra for the pot" First mix it with 4
little cold water, enough to make thick
paste, and add white of an egg lif egg is to
be used as settler), then follow one OF
the following rules:
lst - With boiling water - Add boiling
water; and let it boil three minutes only.
Add little cold water and set aside five
minutes to settle. Serve promptly. =,
2d-With cold water-Add your cold
water to the paste and bring it to boil;
Then set aside, add little cold water, and
in five minutes it's ready to serve.
THREE DoN'Ts.
Don't boil it too long.
Don't let it stand more than ten min
utes before serving.
Don't use water that has been boiled be-
fore.
TWO WAYS TO SETTLE COFFEE.
lst-With eggs-Use part of the white OF
an egg, mixing it with the ground LION
COFFEE before boiling.
2d-With cold water instead OF eggs.

Somethinu About Salt.

Salt, which is an article in daily use
in the humblest homes, has a number
OF interesting facts concerning it,
Salt is used all over the world much
in the same way as water. animals
and human beings alike craving for it.
In some parts of Africa children will
eat 1t in preference to sugar, and on
the Gold Coast handful of salt will
purchase two slaves.
The Germans call salt "the gift of
God. and used to believe that prayers
were better answered when offered
near salt. In the east salt is consid-
cred sacred; all oaths taken over it
are inviolable, and when an Arab Of
fers salt to a guest he guarantees his
safety
The Romans believed that if the
salt put on a sacrifice fell off it pre-.
saged disaster. Hence the origin Of
the bad luck" attendant on salt spill.
