As 1t is Done in France.

The prosecution Of the defaulting
bank clerk, Gallay, has not been per-
mitted to close without at least one
ray from the lighter side OF f'rench
character to relieve its gloom. TO the
English mind it may look like a straln-
ing Of politeness, says the LONDON
Globe, but it is clarmingly French.
The woman Merclli, when arrestea'
was in possession Of an extensive COL
lection of fine jewels, representing a
very large sum Of money. These were
proved to have been bought by Cal

ceeds Of a robbery might have been
claimed by the bank. That 1nstitu-

"Something Gives Way"

A Christian woman in a town In
New York desired to obtain a school
house for the purpose Of starting q
Sabbath-school, but was refused by
a skeptical trustee. Still she perse-
vered, and asked him again and
again. '...
81 tell you, Aunt Polly, it is Of no
use. Once for all, say you can not
have the school-hoSse for such pur-
pose"
II think I am going to get it,"
said Aunt Polly.
II should like to know how, If 1
do not give you the key" ID
II think the Lord is going to un-
lock 1t"
Maybe He will" said the infidel,
"but I can tell you this-He will not
get the key from me-" -.
well, am going to pray over 1t,
and I have found out from expert
ence that when I keep on praying,
something always gives way"
And the next time she came the
hard heart of the inf1del gave way,
and she received the key. More than
this-when others opposed the
school, he sustained her, and great
GOOD was done for perishing souls.
Something gives way" Some
times there is funeral. When
Gods Spirit inspires a prayer in
believing Christians heart, Onnipo-
tence stands ready to answer 1t.

Sewing Hints.

If YOU are troubled by the button
holes in childrens clothing tearing
out, when making a garment put q
strip of the goods where the button
holes come, making two or four extra
thicknesses, then work with a little
coarser thread than usual, putting
the stitches in closely, and there Will
be no further trouble.
If the buttons come off or tear out,
nut four to six extra thicknesses
of the material underneath the
facing where each button is to be
sewed on, with a good sized pin be-
tween the button and the cloth, ana
use good linen thread, filling the eyes
of the button full, after which with
draw the pin, and the buttons Will
neither come off nor tear out.
The dainty but unse'viceable little
embroidered handkerchiefs which the
children prize may be utilized in an
attractive way if knotted into ties for
the summer blouses Of the little
folks. When of larger size they
make pretty and readily tlnlsned
handkerchief berthas on challie or
other light wool frocks.

Guests Initials in Roses.

Truth compels an authority on the
doings of the elect to admit that so
far this season there is no sign of
any undue energy displayed to make
novelties in entertaining loom up
pleasantly. One hostess at Bar Har-
Dor, who in a mild way has tried to
be different introduced a dainty
device for place cards at a dinner
which she gave the other night. In
ltials Of each guest were placed at
each cover. They were made Of wire
md pasteboard, completely covered
with tiny red roses, which were also
employed in the centrepiece. The
cards were attached to these floral
Initials with red gauze ribbon.-New

Blessings Are Followed by Duties

When Christ went upon the noun
taintop with His three disciples, He
was transfgured before them. His
raiment became as bright as the sun,
so that human eyes could hardly look
upon Him, such was the brilliancy on
His glory. To Him this was an hour
of triumph, and to these three dis
ciples it was the privilege OF life-
time The Father sald:. This is Ny
beloved Son; hear ye Him." Around
Him there appeared Moses and Eli
jah, and they. talked with Him.
How long this scene lasted we are
not told, but such was the effect OF
the revelation that the disciples were
almost overcome, and they proposed
to build places of worship and abide
there. BY and by they came to them
selves, and found that they were
alone with Jesus. Daylight dawned
upon them, and they came down
from the mountain. Then it was
that an afflicted boy was seen among
a crowd of people. The other dis
ciples were there, but had been un-
able to heal him. Jesus spoke the
word of life and power, and he was
restored to his normal condition OF
body and mind. ,r
How different this scene from the
one on the mountain! There it was
glory beyond description, but here 1t
was torture and suffering. Up there
no duty rested upon them but to
enjoy the ecstacy; down here there
was a case which demanded great
faith and power of the Redeemer.
Exacting duty followed the blessing
of TRANSPORTATION. .-
Life can not be made up all of joy.
It has the other extreme. The two
need thus to succeed each other. We
must have seasons of blessings. We
could not endure the responsibilities
without this encouragement. It
comes to US like q ray Of sunshine
in a dark cloud. But the blessing is
given to us to prepare US for ser
vice. God has a use for US in this
world. There are unpleasant things
to be done. They suggest themselves
all around US.
Following our spiritual triumphs,
we must come down to the prosy.
and the practical experiences of lie.
When We get a great spiritual bap-
tism, there is some great burden
awaiting us, some great sorrow just
in front Of us, some case that needs
our special help. The glory 'of the
former prepares US for the drudgery
of the latter. 1t is always proof that
God has some extra work for US to
accomplish when He pours out upon
us great blessing.-Texas Chris
tian Advocate. n,

Senator Frye's Testimony.

Hon.. William P. Frye, United
States Senator from Maine, testified
as follows:
Il can remember the time when in
the State Of Maine there was gro
Gerry store at nearly every four Cor
ners in certain portions Of the State,
whose principal business was the sale
CT New England rum; when the jails
were crowded and poverty prevailed.
To-day the country portions OF the
State are absolutely free from the
sale of liquor; poverty is cor1para-
lively unknown, and in soma OF the
counties the jails have been without
occupants for years at time. Wher-
ever the laws have been rigidly en-
forced this condition Of things has
been the inyariable result.

Reloium Ears AbsiHthe.

Henceforward, so far as Belgium
Is. concerned, absinthe, under all and
any circumstances, is contraband.
The stigma of the law is upon it. Eff
forts have several times been made
to suppress the use Of absinthe in
the country, and during the past
week, despite all opposition from the
manufacturers and retailers interest
ed, prohibitory bill has passed both
houses of the Legislature. In the
Senate the bill was passed by ninety
two votes to two. The act is very
far reaching. 1t prohibits the impor-
tation, manufacture, transport, sale
or storing for sale of absinthe or of
any substitute for it. The penalties
are ubstantial.-Loadon Globe.

What Drink Does For Girls.

In an interview with Henry W.
Thurston, chief probation officer, Of
Chicago, he stated, according to the
Daily Journal, that:
''In a study of the causes for the
dependency of girls, drunkenness
looms up as foremost in the records.
OF the $50 in court for the first time
because no one could care for them,
the drunkenness of fathers was given
as the cause in fifty-eight cases.
Drunkenness of mothers was given in
sixty-four cases, and drunkenness Of
both fathers and mothers in seventy
cases. Desertion by the father was
the cause in ninety cases and deser-
tion by mothers in only eighteen. De-
sertion of both parents was the cause
in seven cases.
Lack of proper care was respon-
sible for the plight Of 3S7 OF the girls,
but in many Of the cases drunkenness
was back of the inability of the par
ents to provide for their offspring.
Children ranging in age from two
weeks to seventeen years are lnclud-
ed in this class"

Too Many Playthings.

Never let the chicks have mary or
very elaborate playthings. A child's
interest is SO easily aroused that Z
large stock of playthings proves con-

Not So Friendly as They Seem.

The National Liquor Dealers As
sociation, at their recent annual
meeting, proclaimed themselves as
temperance society. They are in ia
vor of q temperate or moderate use
of intoxicants, and that they think is
what temperance means. They are
not far out of the way, according to
the strict meaning Of the term, but
in the usual acceptation of the word
Temperance means abstinence, total
and always, from the use of alcoholic
liquors. and that is very far from the
idea Of the liquor dealers. whose in
terest and purpose it is to increase
their business and sell as much OF
their product as possible. To drink
to excess is to ruin ones business,
and the brewers are not in favor OF
bankrupting their customers, but we
must rot be deceived by their pro-
fessions of friendship for temper
ance, as we understand the term.

Coin in Cement Seven Centuries.

An important discovery has been
made at Venice while detaching mo-
saics from inside the basilica OF st.
Marks to carry out the work OF re-
storing the whole Cathedral, which
was shaken through the sinking OF
it's foundations. Buried in cement
was a very rare coin Of the time of
the Doge Enrico Dandolo, who died
in 1905, thus proving that the build
ing of the basilica was going on in
the twelfth century. 1t is supposed
that the coin fell from the clothing
Of a workman into the cement, re-
naming there seven centuries.

Hall Caine is undoubtedly right
when he says that to solve the prop
lem of intemperance there must De
"a clear comprehension OF the root
of the evil" 1t is necessary, now
ever, in order to find the root OF in
temperance to determine whether in
temperance is the cause of the liquor
traffic or the liquor trahc is the
cause of intemperance.
Now, the writer is growing o!d
and has made a sad failure IN lie
because of intemperance, although
he has not taken an intoxicating
drink for almost twenty-six years.
He charges his becoming intemper-
ate in early life to the ever present
hotel and saloon bar.
The root Of a tree is that through
which it draws its life from the soil,
and the root of the liquor traffic is
that from which it derives its right
ta an existence; that is to say, tho
law, whether Federal or State, under
which it is licensed. That the liquor
traffic has no rights but those con-
ferred upon it is clear from United
States Supreme Court decision rem
dered years ago which declared that
there is no inherent right in a citl-
zen to sell Intoxicating liquors at re-
tail. 1t is not the privilege of citi-
zen of State nor Of citizen of the
United States
My humble conclusion, therefore,
is that the root of intemperance is
the legalization by the State and ma
tion of the traffic Of intoxicating bev-
erages, and this amounts simply to
making drunkenness, debauchery and
crime a source Of revenue to the
Government.
Now, if the good people of this
country really wish to solve the prob
lem of intemperance, let them cause
the repeal of all liquor legislation,
thus Withdrawing their sanction from
the liquor traffic which causes intem-
perance-F. M. Palmatier, in the
