Gar as Composer Of Music.

For the last Is months the car has
been virtually a prisoner In n OF
his own palaces and in the intervals
Of state work he has solaced himself
with composing music and writing
verse. His poetry is melodious and
carefully polished and his music is
melancholy and inspired by a spirit OF
fatalism. Some three years ago some
of the cars poems were published
under the pseudonym Of Olaf, with
Music by his cousin, the Grand Duke
D'Assia, but he has himself set some
of his verses to music with a consider
able amount of taste and a real knowl-
edge of harmony. Nicholas II. has q

THE STORY.

THE STORY.
ny DINT of coaxing ard petting Or
ID pha's friends had at last persuaded
her to accompany them to the festiv-
tiles in the village close at hand.
where for weeks the preparations had
been going en- for the honoring of the
gods of the Moabites, and she vas
busy getting ready for the start in
the early morning. 1t seemed strange
to them to have to coax Orpha to go,
for in former years she had been one
of the gayest at such celebrations, and
they had expected, now that the in
fiuence of her mother-in-law, Naomi,
was no longer present, that she would
enter again heartily into the life and
customs of her people.
On her return to her old home, after
the departure of Ruth and Naomi her
parents and friends had welcomed her
right royalty, secretly rejoicing that
she was NO longer to be dominated by
the Israelitish woman who had come
into their midst years before and who
had firmly and steadfastly refused to
share in their idolatrous feasts and
practices, and the feelings of jealousy
and resentment which were felt at
the time of her marriage to the prom
Using young Hebrew, Chilion, were for
gotten in the realization that she was
once more n of them.
But to Orpha something in the old
life was hacking. She could not ex.
plain why. She did not understand,
except that in the cid home and with
the old friends there was something
lacking, and a sense of disappointment
came to her. She tried to forget it,

! A Choice That Determined a
Destiny.-Orpha on the road

7 came face to face with the turn

: had come to her of a new home
! and a place among Gods people
. and obedient to the aspirations
: for a better life and holier
: things, she started with her
: mother-in-law, Naomi, and sister
: ter-in-Iaw, Ruth, for the Prom
: ised Land. Perhaps she and
( Ruth during the sad days OF
: their widowhood had talked over
! toqether their plans. While
Z their hearts were bleeding and
I tender there had come a yearn-
Z inq to know the God whom their
\ husbands had known, and
: served, and with it had come
7 the resolve that they would
: cIeave unto the mother-in-law,
: Naomi, as the one who could
! Guide their feet into the way
I and blessing of God.
! So they had gone forth with
Z Naomi and had come to the bor-
\ derland of Israel. There Naomi
. paused and wisely tested the
\ sincerity of purpose of the two

: the cost. 1t was no light thing
. to choose God and Gods people
: as a future destiny. They must
. realize that it meant separation
: from the old life and h%ardships
Z IN the new. In substance, Naomi
: said to Ruth and Orpha what
: Jesus said to those who would
: become his disciples. (which of
: you," he exclaimed, after he had
: declared that discipleship meant
: cross-bearing and fellowship in
hardship and suffering, "intend-
: ina to build a tower, stitch not

. to finish it. Lest haply, after
: he hath laid the foundation, and
Z he is not able to finish it., all
: that behold it begin to mock him,
Z saying: This man began to build,
: and was not able to finish"
And Orpha bid her mother-in-
. law a fearful adieu and turned
I back. Turned back from the
. light of which she had caught
! a glimmering. Turned back from
. the higher purpose and destiny.
Quenched the Pickering flame Of
Z spiritual aspirations, and turn
! ed back to the old life and the
Z old gods. Turned back to be
: swallowed up by the world and
Z the things of the world. This
: is the last word we ever hear of
: Orpha. From that time forth
: she was counted out of Gods
Z reckoning. We a imagine
7 what her life may have been
I after her return, and how when
7 the tidines came of the blessing
! and prosperity which had come
= to Ruth in the, to her, strange,
far-off land Of Israel, there must
have come the smartings of dis
appointment and regret that she

from her. "For of all sad words
Y of tongue or pen, the saddest are
Z these: 1T might have been!'"
\ Orpha and Ruth stood side by
Z side that day at the dividing
\ line between the world and God.
Z Orpha turned back, there ends
\ the tale. Ruth went on, and to-
day we are rejoicing in the
\ Christ who was of the house

In that part of Alaska where have been
the only land transportation is by dog
sleds, and to follow them one has to drop
into a dog trot beside the sled.
IAN ordinary suit is plenty thick enough
to keep you warm, and an overcoat Is dan
gerous in that temperature. Trotting
alongside a sled wearing an overcoat
would make you persp.re, and the bitter
cold would freeze the perspiration.

An Exchange of Apologies.


The night Mr.. and Mrs. Elton held their
reception at the Inside club, Mr.. Elton,
whose eyesight is very poor, bowed po-
litely to every one he saw, including the
walters Mrs. Elton demonstrated with
him for this, and so the remainder of the
evening he was more careful In distribut-
ing recognltions But the following un-
fortunate accident occurred, neverthe-
less.
At $50 Mrs. Elton came to him with a
wild look in her eye and delivered herself
of the alarming news that the silverware
they had brought to be used for buffet
lunch was in a box downstairs In the
cloakroom. Would he hurry down to get
ii, and come up the back way?

Mr.. Elton fished out an armful of spoons,

TO REVIVE ELoMERs.

1t always seems so distressing to see
beautiful cut flowers wither and fade,
and to revive flowers that are not &C
tually dead try this plan: Cut tiny
piece from each stem and place the
stems in a large glass, or even better,
Jar Of cold water: then submerge the
jar in a bucket of cold water, allowing
the entire bunch to be almost covered.
Put all In a dark place, cover with a
newspaper to exclude the air; let them
remain thus over night; in the morning
they will be as fresh as new, even to
the glistening dew drops"
Roses and carnations respond better
than other flowers treated in this man
ner, but so far there has not been
found any way to freshen violets sat-
isfactorily.
1t might not be amiss to add that
wilted green vegetables, such as spin
ach, lettuce and celery, are to be fresh
ened by this same means, and may be
kept for days, changing the water ev-
cry morning, of course. However, VIC
all know that the fresher all vegetables,
the better, they are.

DANGER IN TELEPHONES,

A physician remarked lately that the
telephone was the means Of more sick
ness, especially headaches, than al
most anything else. He explained that
women who could do all of their order
ing over the telephone seldom left
the house to buy anything. and If they
would only get out and take a walk
early in the morning they would re-
turn to the house with brighter spirits
and more animation for work. I'm
doubtedly ii is an inspiration to get
out and see that one is not alone in the
days work. A woman here is clean
ing her windows; another is sweeping
her rooms; a bevy hurry by with
packages under their arms after a visit
to the stores and groceries. To see
people busy and full of life and ami
nation is an inspiration to any one,
and this seems to be exactly what the
physician meant by his remark. The
most detected, Respondent and head
achy women in the world are those
who live back of locked doors and
keep up the eternal grind Of kitchen
work without a change of labor from
one day to another.

ALMOST A SOLID SORE.

Skin Disease from Birth-Fortune
Spent on Her without Benefit
Cured Her with Cuticura.
II have q cousin in Rockingham Co..
who once had a skin disease from her
birth until she was six years Of age.
Her father had spent fortune on her
to get her cured and none Of the treat
ments did her any good. Old DR.. -
suggested that he try the Cuticura
Remedies, which he did. When he COM
menced to use it the child was almost
a solid scab. He had used it about two
months and the child was we'll. I
could hardly believe she was the same
child. Her skin was as soft as baby's
without scar on it. 1 have not seen
her in seventeen years, but have heard
from her and the last time heard she
was well. Mrs. w. P. Ingle, Burling-

Electrical Farminu.
farninP

Experiments in electrical farming
which have been held by Professor
Lemsthoem of Helsingsfors, have dem
onstrated some very interesting facts.
In one experiment with carrots the
yield was increased 80 per cent. the
first year and 80 per cent. the second
year over plants that were not treated
electrically. In another experiment
with potatoes, where the current was
generated galvanically in the earth by
means of copper and zinc plates con-
nected by insulated wires strung above
growing vines, an increased yield OF
from so per cent. to 100 per cent was
recorded Some scientists now claim
that the large harvests OF Spitzbergen
and Finland are due TO the electrical
influence OF the aurora borealis.
