The Pendulum Mind.

1.-The secret of efficiency Is to be able to
dispose of every question as it arises so
that it will not come up for decision again."
What deal of sense there is in this OBJ
servation which Is constantly urged upon
the employees of one of the largest business
houses in this country! To be able to de-
eide a question promptly and finally is a
gift that any one may covet and cultivate,
while the possessor of pendulum mind is
to be ptled; and yet the world Is full Of
such persons. One of the most prominent
men in public life today, who has held high

Some declare that his vacilla ton renders
him UNIT for holding any kind Of an i'm
portant office. And in all ranks we find
men and women who waste time and en-
ergy, who irritate their friends and lose
their own self-respect because they wabble
SO from one position to another.
The fact is life in this world of action
calls for the power to decide things almost
brought up to weigh and settle matters ac-
cording to the best light they have bid
fair to become potent forces in after years,
while the irresolute youth, who reflects the

perpetual swing of the mind and will back
and forth. One needs, first of all, to dts
crminate between issues trivial and issues
important. 1t is shame to spend too
much time deciding which necktie one will
wear on certain day or which of several
good books he will read. There are ques-
lions such as the choice of a career or of a
life partner which call for mature and even
prolonged elaboration, but we must learn
to dispose of little questions quickly, and
on the larger ones we ought not to deliber-
ate too long. To be sure concerning them
we need to proceed at a reasonable speed
and to avail ourselves of all good counsel
we can get. He who looks under such cir
cumstances to Him who represents the
wisdom and loving purpose that guides this
universe Is sure to receive enlightenment

Rev. DR.. Thomas C. Easton.
Of this miracle of changing the water into
wine, we shall consider some of the i'm
portant purposes for which the miracle
was wrought and make practical applica-
ton of the same.
Does 1t not teach us that Christ Is
the Lord Of nature? Observe what the
miracle was. He turned water into
wine. He performed. in fact, instanta-
neously and without the interven-
ton of means that which is being done
constantly by slow and complicated pro-
cesses. In doing what He did on this oc-
He is the agent in all these processes in
the world around us, which We are accus-
toned to designate as natural. The mira
Gle under this aspect of 1t, belongs to a
class OF miracles which occupy large
place in our Savior's working-miracles
which He did instantaneously and directly,
what in ordinary circumstances is done
gradually and indirectly. When He healed
the sick and fed the starving multitude
and stilled the tempest and turned the
water into wine, He would have US know
that He is the Lord of nature, that the
world Is not given up to blind chance, or
to the reign OF cold unbending law, but
that il owns a living ruler. whose hand
is everywhere.
"a III cif TO- 70
ulate how the king of nature and the
Lord Of man" wrought this mighty change,
and We prefer to think with our American
poet, 1.-The conscious water saw its Lord,
and b,ushed." He is still governing, and
controlling all the natural forces which
stand associated with physical or physio-
logical forms of matter. The pierced hand
IS on the helm of all human events. 1t is
a wise. strong and loving hand. In His
own time. and method, He can still turn
life's bitterest waters into the sweetes,
wine.
Christ is thoughtful OF life's little
things His other miracles teach His
thoughtfulness and love in things OF
momentous import. To raise a deat
child and restore 1t to her weeping
parents to bring back to life the only sor
Of widowed mother; to cast out legior
of devils and thus deliver one who wa.
bound with the most fearful chain from
his terrible thraldom; to feed starving
multitude; to still a tempest that threat
ened death to His disciples-all these
show loving care on great and grave occa

most perfect happiness, and that all the
faults of the world finally become SO COM
pletely subjugated that the sister needs
none of the things that the lay mind deems
essential.
Even from the time she takes the vows
the Carmelite nun puts behind every last
thought of the world - father, mother,
brother, sister-may never look upon her
board, placed in a cell. From this hard
couch the nun rises in the morning and
breaks her fast with black coffee and
bread, eaten in silence. Following the
morning repast the biack-robed nuns go to
the chapel and continue their long office
of prayer. The morning hours are filled
with work on vestments and scapulars.
These nuns are noted throughout the world
for their exquisite needework. One Of their
strctest rules Is that no one OF them shall
ever be idle, and even when they are sick
some bit of sewing is ever at their side.
This sewing hour is about the nearest APP
proach to diversion. but lest they extract
pleasure from 1t the regulation has been
made rigid that not one word must pass
their lips during the time.
Dinner is served after the tolling of the
midday angelus. It consists of dry bread,
plain boiled potatoes, some other ordinary
vegetable, and perhaps Goldfish balls or
some other inexpensive fish. NO butter,
sugar, coffee, tea, a beverage of any kind
nor dessert Is used. The taste Of flesh of
any description Is strange to them. Christ
mas and Thanksgiving turkeys, the Easter
hams and spring chickens, and every de-
mand Of the ordinary appetite are things
of the past to these women, who have con-
secrated their lives to God.
The evening meal of the Carmelite nuns
is as frugal as their breakfast, following
which there are meditations and prayers.
Prayer and fasting, that Is the Alpha and
Omega of their lives by which they seek
to attain the eternal salvation of their
souls and those of the world at large.
There is already a house of the order in
Baltimore, New York, St. Louis and other
Cities and it is thought that foundation

class of stuff was slow. Best cattle
of all kinds ruled steady to a shade
higher but inferior grades are off 10
to IL cents. Killing cattle moved
readily as there was good inquiry
from packers and also very good
demand ON shipping account. Not
enough good steers coming to sup
ply the trade and packers are buy
ing cows instead Best steers here
last week brought sI.2J but quality
was gust fair and fancy stuff would
have sold for more money. Most of
the pretty decent killers went at

fair request. Best heavy steers
brought s4l5 flat with prices rang
