but to take a look at these business
men, the official family Of the minis
tiers, and in surveying the field, need
have no misgivings about church
affairs. To see those business men

tied success single handed from the

The Death Substitute.

the missionaries to China, "a very valu

leaned with implicit confidence. One
day he came to me and said, I shall be
obliged to ask you to find somebody to
take my place. as in the course Of o
few weeks l am to be executed in place
of q rich gentleman. who is to pay me
very literally for becoming his substi-
tute.'
II asked what possible inducement
there could be to forfeit his life for any
amount of money. He replied: I have
an aged father and mother, who are
very poor and unable to work, and the
money am to receive will make them
comfortable as long as they live. !

LEARN SELF RELIANCE.
60 Not Be Continually Appealing n
Others For Advice.

Others For Advice.
No greater evidence of weakness
Of character can be shown than 0
continual appeal to friends for adj
vice. At times we al aeed the coun-
sci of a good f.4end, but to con,
stantly ask for it is like constantly
borrowing. Better make a mlstak'
once in awhile from too hasty de
cision than to form the habit Of IN
decision. It is the first milestone Oh
the road to failure.
Never permit yourself to De pull
ed hither and thithcr by half
dozen conflicting opinions regarding
the course you should pursue. Your
friends may be wise, kind and un,
selfish, but they cannot live your
life for you. You must work out
your own destiny. If you are vio-
lating principles and breaking laws
of God and society, every moral ane
decent citizen has a right to object
to yocr course of conduct, because
it interferes with the universal WEI
being of humanity, says the Phila
delphia Inquirer.
But if you are simply pursuing q
line of work or following a cours'
of study or setting forth on a career
which seems to you the one desira-
bic thing in life, do not allow your
convictions to be influenced OF
shaped by the advice of others.
Do everything that you know
must be done as quickly as possible,
not hastily, but with dispatch. When
the ocean tide is coming in, its
waves sweep forward with resistless
force, one after the other, and breab
higher and higher upon the beach
until its work is done, then turns its
force in another direction.
That is the way to accomplish
things-put one task out of the way
and make room for another. Do not
spend hours, weeks or months III
trying to plan out the way to do
things. Do them. Make a small
beginning and keep going. Put moth
ing off. More failures are the re,
suit of caution than of rashness.
If you have tried certain course
of life, believing it to be the right
one, and then find you are in error,
change your methods boldly and
fearlessly. Do not wait to talk the
matter over with all your acquaint-
ances to find out their opinion. 1t
does not matter what they think SO
long as you are convinced what is
the right thing to do.
Only by leaning on yourself and
not on others will you ever amount
to anything in this ife.-Exchange

AN OLD ROMAN BATH.

Women used to lose their hairpins
q thousand years ago much in the
same way as they do today. That
at least is the impression one gets
from the antiquities found during
last year at the Silchester exca'a
tions.
The most interesting discover!
was the buildinc which formed ap
parently the pr."v,,'y. baths of the
Roman town. The exploration o.
the baths yielded a number of ar,
chitectural fragments, including a
small altar, portions of capitals and
bases, part of large basin of Pur-
beck marble and some singular
pieces of metal.
In a filled up hypocaust were
found at least 100 bone pins which
had evidently been used to adjust
the back hair of Roman women who
used the baths. Probably they had
been dropped in the way woman
throughout the ages has shed pins
and were collected by the keeper OF
the baths. Some of them are quite
three inches long and would make
passablA hatpins for the present
fashion.
