THE HOLINESS OF TRVTH

Truth is simple as the sermons nature
tells us on our way.
Gentle the thought of brothers who
were parted yesterday;
1t is plain as honest faces that betoken
hearts so kind
They are hands unto the weary, seeing
eyes unto the blind:
1t Is beautiful as morning when the world
awakts to joy
And lifc's golden expectations thrill the
eager heart of boy:
1t is lasting as the cliff rock that forever
fronts the sea,
Lasting AS the ocean waters that shall
wash the cliff rock free:
And although 1t wrinrs emotion from the
life that suffers long,
Though 1t girds the ioins of labor for the
battle fierce and strong:
Truth is ever what we make ii in the light
of love and peace.
Help and hope unto the t0ilinE who would
give the soul increase

Hat Of Fantastic Design.

One eccentricity in the shape OF a
lavender hat had a garland of shaded
violets, large American beauty rose
placed in the center of the front and
another beauty rose with a spray Of
foliage perched-there is no other
word which fittingly describes the pre-
carious hold-upon the extreme edge
of the brim. One has curious feel
ing of uncertainty about this peculiar
ly shaped and very peculiarly triGl-
med hat. Nothing seems to belong.

tion Of odds and ends left over from
other creations and utilized as well
as time and conditions would permit,
yet the hat costs tidy sum and is
not within the reach of the ordinary

What is truth that through the ages man
should rifle earth and star
Seeking ever In the unknown where Its
mystic fountains are,
For the law OF righteous living, for the
love that shall not die.
While the soul has aspirations to be
glorfied on high:
What is truth that in the distance 1t
should blaze with holy light
Beating back the hosts of darkness in the
worlds enfoding night,
Making man nobler creature, giving
states wiser aim
Giving virtue. knowledge. valor, each
bright immortal name?
Lo the world is ever changing, and the
new Is ever old,
And who fights with human progress is
warrior 0verbold;
And the truth is what we make 1t by the
light of that great love
Which forever lifts the planet toward the
singing stars above.

Styles for the Juniors.

Circular skirts, although popular.
are not quite SO good for young girls
as they are for older ones-for circu-

that sagging is SO much more notice

upon any others. But that other skirt,
which for apparently no reason in the

keep the skirt in shape.

Making Beef Tea.

Every home nurse is supposed to
know how to make beef tea, yet ii is
surprising how many failures are to be
recorded in this apparently simple OPP
Grafton. The fault generally is that too
little time is given to the cooking The
point to be borne In mind Is that. as
far as possible, the whole Of the nutri-
ment Of the beef Is to be extracted.
The best method OF doing this Is to
proceed as follows: Remove all the
fat and skin from one pound of fresh
gravy beef. cut 1t up into small pieces
and put it into stone jar with a
pint of water and little salt. Re
place the lid OF the jar and let it stand
all night. The next morning place the
jar in saucepan OF boiling water and
let 1t simmer gentiy-but never boil
for five hours. Strain the fluid through
collander, but instead of throwing
away the residue OF the meat, pound II
In a mortar into a pulp, pass ii
through a wire sieve and add it to the
beef tea. Beef tea made according TO
this recipe contains all the fiber and
albumen OF the meat. and is therefore
much more nutritious than t4-er tea in
the form IL is usually given.

when suddenly he heard a high, clear voics
singing outside. At. first he thought II

trills and shakes. so by the time the
voice arrived at the Office door NJ. Vande-
loup came to the conclusion that the own.
er of the voice was a woman, and that the
woman was Miss Kitty Marchurst.
He leaned back in his chair and Won
dered idly if she would knock at the door
or enter without ceremony. The latter
course was the one adopted by Miss
Marchurst, for she threw open the door
and stood there blushing and pouting at
the embarrassing situation in which she
now found herself.
II thought | would find Mrs. Villiers
here" she said, in low, sweet voice, the
peculiar timbre of which sent thrill
through Gaston's young blood, as he arose
to his feet. Then she looked up and catch
ing his dark eyes fixed on her with a
good deal of admiration in them. she look
ed down and commenced drawing figures
on the dusty floor with the tip of very
dainty shoe.
Madame has just gone down the
mine," said NJ. Vandeloup politely, "but
she desires me TO say that she would be
back soon, and that you were to wait
here, and / was to entertain you." then,
with grave bow he placed the only chair
in the office at the disposal of his visitor,
and leaned up against the mantelpiece in
an attitude of unstudied grace. Miss
Marchurst accepted his offer and took
furtive glances at him, while CASTOR,
whose experience of women was by no
means limited, looked at her coolly. in a
manner which would have been rude but
for the charming smile which quivered
upon his lips.

ton BRUCE presents some New Light
on the Mecklenburg Declaration of In
dependence" Mr.. Bruce outlines the
history Of the discussion which has
ragged for nearly hundred years over
the question whether or no the national
declaration of independence was antici-
pated by the action of an assemblage
of North Carolinians. At present the
consensus of critical opinion is adverse
TO the claims Of those who would an
swer this question In the affirmative.
But Mr. Bruce expresses the conviction
that. in the light of evidence which has
recently been unearthed and which he
spreads before the reader, the POSSIBLE
ity OF historians being compelled to re-
verse their verdict on this subject would
now seem 10 be imminent. After quot.
ing at length from the comments of an
interested critic on an ancient record
recently discovered In Bethania, y. c.,
Mr.. Bruce concludes:
Here seems TO be a sound chain of
reasoning to establish the authenticity
authorship and date of the pamphlet
Once admitting that 1T was written in
1888 or whereabouts Ii must be conceded
that the friends of the Mecklenbere
declaration have recovered striking

case. Taken together, the Graham.

ence of u Mecklenburg declaration long
before John McKnitt's' letter precipi-
tated the century-old dispute. Histo-
rians can no longer afford to treat the
problem with the superstition of in.
credulity. They have now TO deal. not
with nebulous theories nor with hypoth
eses sustained by little more than the
enthusiasm of local pride and patriot
ism, but with concrete data which must
be accepted or explained away. Decid
