Tho TrsHsiorminr Power Of life.

The Arabs have a saying about the
palm tree, that it stands with its
feet in salt water and its head in the
sun. They often cannot drink Of the
blackish water found in the oasis
where the palm grows, but they tap
the tree and drink the sweet palm sap.
The palm tree. by the magic of its
inner life, can so change the elements
found in the .unkindly soil around it
that they minister to its growth and
strength and fruit-bearing. So we in
our earthly life must often have our
feet in the mire and bitterness of sin
around US; and upon Jul heads will
often beat the fierce heat Of tempta-
ton. But in spite Of these things,
we shall be able to grow and. grow
strong, if within US there is the MAX
ing of a new life through Jesus Christ.

O,Ccnnor's wit Saved Him.

Justin A. Jacobs, for many years
the city clerk of Cambridge, used to
relate the following as illustrating the
ready wit of an Irishman:
In the early years Of his service, one
Of the duties of this Office was the prep
aration of the voting lists Of the city
and the registration of new voters.
One Of the qualifications Of a voter
was the ability to write.
Cne evening when his office was full
Of men seeking registration, an Irish
man, Patrick O'Connor, asked to be
registered, and was given the usual
blank, with the request that he sign
his name. This he finally did, with
great effort, and in an almost illegible
manner.
One of the onlookers, seeing that
this was probably the extent of bis lit
erary accomplishments, called out:
"Mr. Jacobs, let him write your name"
Instantly Pat looked up and replied:
"Indade, I wouldn't dare do that. That
would be forgery.'-Boston Herald.

THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF INTEMPERANcE.
Why Drink Is Especially Dangerous
to Women - There Is No Sadder
Ct~ht 4, Tho WALL Than That

why Drink is Especially Dangerous
to Women - There Is No sadder
Sight in the World Than That
OF a Mother Overcome by Liquor.
The mother is the heart and soul Of
the home.
She can make a home a haven Of
Fest and peace, or she can make 1t a
place of torment.
Hers is the privilege of setting an
example to husband and children.
Children are initiative little crea-
lures, and whatever the mother does
they will consider proper to do them
selves.
If she brings them up to think dill
gence, honesty and sobriety the three
most important things in life, the
chances are they will follow all three.
But if the mother is lazy, lax in her
sense Of honor, and inclined to drink,
the children are bound to show the eff
feet.
There is no sadder sight in the world
than that of a mother overcome by
drink. @.i.'
Where you find that you are bound to
find an illrkept home and, neglected
husband and children. The first i'm
preston left on the children's plastic
little minds is that Of squalor and
misery. -"
At the time when they most need
a mothers fostering care, the poor
mites are forced to look after them
selves.
And the husband who started on his
married career with q heart full of
happiness and love for his young wife,
finds nothing but disappointment and
sorrow.
The children do not know the mean
ing of mother-love. They see other
children running to their mothers for
comfort in every childish pain and
sorrow, but they know that nothing but
harshness would greet them if they
went to their mother for comfort.
Very often q woman contracts the
drink habit through taking something
for every little ache or pain.
1t seems such an easy way to lull
pain, fatigue or low spirits.
The longing for it gradually in
creases, she takes, a little more, and a
little more, always. thinking that she
can, stop at any time, until the first
thing she knows she is held fast by
drinks iron grip. -.
Poor woman, she is not happy. She
would give anything to free herself,
but both body and will are weakened
and. the fight is long and hard.
The best way to avoid this danger
is never to touch i~ntoxicants, ,., =.
10 thousands of women it is no
temptation, but to others it is q terri
BILE danger.
When a woman becomes the mother
of q child she owes it to the child and
to the world in general to give it the
benefit of the very best that she can
afford. ...,.
Its attitude toward the world and
itself will be guided by her training. 4
Its ideas of right and wrong will be-
founded on her teaching.
AS the young twig Is trained the tree
will grow.
The responsibility Of the guiding Of
n human soul rests with every mother.
And to fifty meet this great RESPONSE
bility, she must keep her mind keen
and alert, must order her life so as to
be above %reproach.
Least of any human being can a
mother afford to drink.
For hers is the hottest and most i'm
portant mission on earth.-Beatrice
Fairfax, in the New York Journal.

Bark Salad Palutable Food.

When Admiral Sigsbee's squadron
was cruising in the Caribbean Sea, IN
1904 and the spring of 1905, the officers
pf his flagship, the Newark, found that
bark salad was not only edible, but
was quite palatable. This remarkable
food was made from the bark of a trop-
ical tree, and much enjoyed by the ma
tives along the coast. The rough or
outer part is chopped off, and the in
ner portion chopped into fine slices
and made into a salad dressed with
oils, spices, etc.
