Our greatest weakness, perhaps, is in
our knowledge Of the child-soul. We

processes Of development. We have not
been careful to note when the different
faculties pass from the dormant state
into the active. Many parents are care
less in the training Of their children,
regarding it as Of little consequence.
They look forward to the time when the
child shall be put into the hands OF Il
competent teacher who will train it
Alright. This is a serious mistake. The
foundations Of character are usually
laid before the child is old enough for
the kindergarten or school. The fu-
ture life of many child is determined
by the first three years Of its existence.
l shall not attempt to give any def
subject. 1t has as many phases as
there are children to train. God never
made two souls alike, consequently no
method will suffice for more than one
child. The particular method must be
evolved from a study Of the particular
child However, there are certain prin-
ciples Of child-training that are pretty
thoroughly established. This training

moral good of a child, it ought never

that other eminent scholar who says
that the training of a child should be-

the eminent writer on child psychology
says that a child six months old IS able
to know, effectively, right from wrong.
Another tells us that at the age of
eighteen months the child is capable
Of adhering to it's own will in defiance

Sack of Flour, 100000.

There is no question about flour be-
ing vital necessity to man, but $780,
600 for one sack does seem bit high.
That is what sack once brought, how
ever, and no one had been manipulating
the wheat market, either.
1t is an interesting tale of an cleo
ton bet and its payment, out on the
Pacific slope.
r. G. Gridley, of Austin, New, IN
April, 1864, made a bet with q friend
on a local election, the loser to carry
bag of -four on his shoulder for Ger
tain distance.
Gridley lost, and on the Goth Of the
month paid the bet by carrying his
flour sack, ornamented with ribbons
and flags, while band played John
Browns Body" as he was Demo
crat.
There was a great throng present,
and when the end of the journey was
reached Gridley proposed that the -four
be turned to account for the sanitary
commission.
Somebody present suggested that it
be made into cakes and sold but Grid
ley declared that the whole bag should
be put up at auction, with the under
standing that the purchaser return it to
be sold again.
Gridley himself was the first pur-
chaser. at $500, and after that it was
sold again and again to those present.
From this beginning there came a
kind of rage for buying that sack of
-four, and Gridley went about from
one town to another selling it, until
he had sent to the commission over
100000.
Gridley kept the sack as long as he
lived, and his family preserved it after
his death for a long period. They were
at one time reported to be in actual
want. and what finally became of the
sack and its possessor is mystery.

Short Meter Serm ons.

Care calls to prayer.
Waiting works wonders.
Self-sacrifice is but wise investment
Love and laws rule the world
Many of our crosses come from our
crooked ways.
Some men think that grace grows by
grumblng.
Most doubts would die if we did not
dodge them.
Happiness rests on thoughts more,
than on things.
Only those who love the world cam
live above it.
The finnicky man always thinks he
alone is faithful.
Giving with grunting may be worse
than Withholding.
Holiness without heart Is but hind
rance to humanity.
The man who jumps at conclusions
seldom lands Oh facts.
A man can lie with his tone while
his tongue tells the truth.
The robe Of righteousness is not the
same as the cloth of the clergy.
Never put off to tomorrow the mean
ness you might as well give up to-day.
Nothing hurts the feelings OF the
stuffed martyr worse than letting linn
alone.
Too many sermons are attempts to
feed the people on cook books instead
of on bread.
Many a preacher thinks the world Is
wicked for lack of his sermons when
it Is only weary because Of them.
There may be as much religion in a
little asphalt here as in whole lot Of
auriferous pavement over there.
The man who leaves his head in the
Office when he goes to church will be-
first to complain about the preachers
intellect.

Watching a Great Fight.

The famous fight between the Confed-
crate ship Alabama and the United
States cruiser Kearsarge, which took
place off Cherbourg in 1864, was wit
messed by a Mrs. Falls, author Of "For-
eign Courts and Foreign Homes" Her
father was stationed at Cherbourg in
the service Of the British government.
The Alabama came into port to coal
and ref1t, and the Kearsarge soon fol-
lowed. Captain Semmes, of the Ala
bama, was a hero in the eyes Of the
young woman, and he was much
amused at her abuse Of the Federal
vessel. Captain Semmes knew that the
Kearsarge had run him to ground and
would fight him in any case, so he sent
challenge for fair combat in neutral
waters outside the Cherbourg break
water. On receiving the challenge the
Kearsarge put out to sea. The spec
tators thought it was afraid to fight,
but it had only gone outside to wait.
That night the young woman was
miserable. The captain was very grave
and quiet. Turning to her, he said:
Little girl, you are crying"
Later she received a note from Cap
tain Semmes, containing an Enclosure,
and asking her to keep it until instruc-
tons. If he were killed she was to post
the letter to Paris. If he lived he would
send her word what to do with it.
The day Of the battle a friend Of
hers, who had man-ofWar boat at her
command because her husband was an
officer in the French army, invited the
young American girl to go out to the
breakwater with her to witness the en-
gagement. On their way out they rowed
as near the Alabama as possible, and
stood up in the boat and cheered. The
men on the Alabama cheered back and
dipped it's flag. At half-past 9 it
steamed slowly out, going straight to
where the Kearsarge waited. The Deer
hound, an English yacht, kept near It.
1t was a long, tedious time before
they settled to fight. Finally they
opened fire. When the smoke cleared
away the Alabama seemed to be max
ing for Cherbourg Then it began to
settle, and the gallant ship went down
within 200 yards Of the Deerhound, it's
colors flying. Through the powerful
telescopes the ladies in the man-of-war
boat could see the yacht speeding off.
They did not know then that it had
picked up Captain Semmes and thirty
nine men and was making straight for
England.
The man-of-war boar went to render
assistance, and the girls did not get
off the breakwater until o'clock.
When they got back to Cherbourg ev-
eryone was laughing at the Deerhound
for running away. afraid of smoke"
they said. In the evening the captain
Of an English steamer just in asked to
see the young Southern girl. He said
he had passed the Deerhound in the
channel, and it had run up signals say
ing, Tell Miss Hammond to send the
letter to the post office at Southamp-
ton" Thus she knew that Captain
Semmes was safe.

ECCE HOMO.


Behold the man! John xix IS.
The two words contemptuously spok-
en- by the cynical Roman governor con-
tanned the highest tribute that had been
given to Jesus. How empty appear all
the high sounding titles, such as king
and emperor, beside this significant one
of Man. How sad and self-damning
the bitter railing Of his enemies in the
light Of that serene dignity. How puer
lie the pickering over words and ways
Of worship, and all the WFangling that
blinded them to the heavenly radiance
of that all glorious manhood.
The wonder Of Jesus is not in the
deeds he did, but In the being he was.
And the wonder Of his being is not in
that it offers elements for arguments as
to a divine personality, but it is that
of a simple, clear, sublimely perfect
manhood 1t is upon this perfection Of
personal character that his abiding
claim to divinity must rest; it depends
not Oh his birth but on his being
There is something strange about tie
perversity with which the church has
emphasized the least attractive aspects
of it's masters person. The preachers
have scolded men for not coming to
church, and when they did come they
offered them pictures of an emaciated,
effeminate being for their alteration.
With them the painters have conspired
to set on canvas and in church win
dow representations from the reality Of
which we would turn with repulsion
or on which we would look with pity.
If Jesus is to be the leader of men
he must go before them. He must
artificial arguments as to his right to
rule over men, but there because he be-
longs there, first because he is first in
all that makes manhood; he is king
because he can, and because he has,
overcome in life's great conflict.
II he is to show us the way we
should go he must walk in that way !;
he must be flesh Of our flesh, true man,
knowing the full fellowship of our
lives. If he was born with a halo; if
he lived on angels fare if somehow he
belongs to another world and his per-
fections are not those of our nature
then, almighty as he may be as leader
fer beings of another world, ne has no
v3lue to Us.
But men have ever set aside the
weavings of minds so absorbed In the
wonder of their speculations that they
could not see the truth. They have

AGE ONE OF INIQUITY.

By Rev. Orrin Il. jerks.
This habitual globe is founded for
ever and redeemed from sin is to be the
eternal abode of pure race Of immor
tai beings. But the age in which we
live is to end and is to be followed by
sinIess, deathIess and eternal age
This present age is one Of prevailing
iniquity. In one recent year in the
United States there were 1850 muir
ders. That was on an average twenty
nine murders q day, or more than one,
for every hour in the day. Twelve ma
ticns of the earth, and all Of them
called Christians, make and drink no
less than 3,250,0OO,000 gallons Of beer.
This would make lake twenty feet
deep and one mile square-large enough
to float all the navies Of the world. The
drink bill Of our nation is more than
81 600, 100000 a year. In standard sill
YER dollars, piled up on top Of one an
other, this sum would make a monu--
ment LOO miles high!
Sin is no permanent part of the plan
of the ages 1t must ultimately give
way to righteousness. All who will not
abandon wrongdoing must sooner or,
later be discovered and punished with
everlasting destruction. There are
strong evidences that iniquity in this
age has reached its climax. Heaven
may interpose any day and make an
everlasting end Of sin by ushering In
the age Of purity and peace.
