Tho Talent That MuItipIfes.

God blesses you that you may be a
blessing to others. Then He blesses
you also q second time In being a
blessing to others. It is the talent
that is used that multiplies.
Receiving, unless n gives in turn,
makes one full and proud and selfish.
Give out the best Of your life in the
Masters name for the good Of others.
Lend a hand to every one who needs.
Be ready to serve at any cost those
who require your service. Seek to be
a blessing to every one who comes for
but q moment under your influence.
This is to be angel-like. 1t is to be
God-like. 1t is to be Christ-like. We
are in this world to be useful. God
wants to pass His gifts and blessings
through us to others. When We fail
as His messengers, We fail of our mis-
sion.-Scottish Reformer.

Wholesale Thanksgiving.

A somewhat irreverent boy once sug-
gested to his father that he should ask
a blessing over a whole barrel of meat
without waiting for it to be served at
the table and the blessings asked at
each meal. He had a sort Of formal
recognition of the propriety Of thanks
giving, but wanted it attended to at
such times as would not interfere too
much with his own comfort. So 4
great many persons are willing to rec
ognize God if it can be done in some
way that does not interfere with their
own plans in life and their own equip
ments.-Ram's Horn.

Soldiers Greetings.

During the recent war in the Trans
vaal, when the soldiers going to the
front were passing another body Of SOL
diers whom they recognized, their
greeting used to be, "Four-nine-four,
boys, four-nine-four," and the salute
would invariably be answered with
sSi1 further on, boys, six further on"
The significance Of this was that, in
the little book Of Moody and Sankey
hymns which had been sent to the
front, number 494 was "God Be With
You Till We Meet Again." and number
500 Tor six further ON than 494) was

Women of ancient, luxurious Rome

was also a sweetener of the breath
and pasti,s OF myrtle were employed
for the same purpose. Silver tongs and
knives we're employed In caring for

considered that the breeding was be-
ffayed by them as easily as by the

decoctions were employed to beautify
the finges. Pliny gives recipes for re-
moving any undesired substances from

Points to be Observed to Obtain

With hens eggs, we feel that the
vitality decreases rapidly after the
second or third week, and that eggs
ordinarily should not be more than
two weeks old when incubated.
though ! have known OF first-rate
matches from eggs that were three
weeks old Much viii depend either
with hens or turkeys eggs, upon
the way in which they are kept, says
Indiana Farmer. So far as we know
the temperature should be between
so and 60 degrees. 1t has been defln-
itely proven that the process OF de-
velopment of the germ commences,
though slowly, at temperature be-
tween so and 70 degrees. The eggs
should be turned regularly every two
or three days, to prevent the yolk
of the egg from floating to the sur
face and coming in contact with the
shell. The life germ being on top of
the yolk on the lightest portion of
the egg, would be the portion de-
stroyed II II should stick to the men,
brane against the dried surface OF
the shell. In order to prevent evapo-
ration, It is we'll to cover the eggs
with a flannel cloth. Earring, of
course, should be avoided.--Ex-

THE ETIQUETTE OF ROYALTY.
Customs Governing the Relatic~s Of
King With His Associates.

The divinity that doth hedge a king
expresses itself in some curious ways
and to people who are not accustomed
to associating with these exalted per-
| sonages royal etiquette is In many
points very pulling, says the Ladies
yield. To those who meet Queen Al
exandra constantly it probably does
not seem strange to address her as
ma am, but to unaccustomed ears this
spectful. The Queen is addressed as
ma am by all the members Of the up
per classes, the term your majesty
being rarely used except on formal oc-
casions, while the Princess of Wales
and all the princesses Of the blood
royal OF England are addressed in the
same way. The King, the Prince Of
Wales and all the other English prin-
ces are addressed as sir Yet foreign
princes and princesses bearing the title
of serene highness must not be ad-
dressed as sir or mann, but as prince
and princess.
Another curious bit of royal ETH
quette provides, according to the au-
thority first quoted, that when mem
bers Of the royal family are present at
a dinner finger glasses must be sup
piled for their use at dessert, but not
for the other guests.
When the King and Queen play
bridge or any other round game money
fresh from the mint must be provid-
ed, and when any member of the
reigning families joins in a game of
cards new money is usually supplied.
Invitations from the sovereign, as
nearly every one knows. are COM
mands, and must be treated as such.
Only the death Of n near relative, SER
ious illness or compulsory absence
from England can be given as reasons
for nonacceptance. A previous engage
ment can never be pleaded as an ex-
cuse. Answers to royal invitations
should be written in the third person.
Communications with royalty are US
ually made through the controller OF
the household 1t is entirely incor-
rect to write to the royal parsonage
nimself-that is to say, in ordinary
circumstances, for the rights of friend
ship and affection Override even the
observance of O court.
A fine point Of royal etiquette is that
man or woman who has not been
presented at court cannot sit at the
same table as royal guest, and this
of his or her rank, riches
or position. Sometimes the royal per-
sonage may especially invite the I'M
forged individual to the high" table;
IN that case the situation is, of course,
altered. SAS''~I i--r
When the house party is assembled
for dinner every one remains standing
until the royalties make their appear
ance. AS soon as they enter the room
the host gives his arm to the royal
lady and leads the way to the dining
room, followed by the hostess with the
masculine royalty, and succeeded by
the remainder of the guests in strict
est order of precedence. When dinner
is ended the hostess does not make
the usual move; she waits for some
slight indication from her royal guests,
showing that they have finished des-
sert and their conversation and are
ready to leave the dining room.
