SILK MADE FROM WOOD PULP.

Artificial silk is made from wood pulp
in Sweden. The imitation IS excellent.
but 1t is found that many dresses made
from il have been discarded because
the creases made when the wearers sit
down do not come out. Il IS scarcely
possible 10 distinguish the real from
the artificial silk but this defect has
proved fatal for use as dress pieces.

OF ali the Institutions which AFFECT
the welfare of society none is more
radical in its nature or more far-reach-
ing in its consequences than that OF
marriage Decadent civilization is
marked BY a disrespect for marital re-
sponsibilities, with the, growth OF in
ordinate material luxury there is ever
a reversion 10 animalism and a rebellion
against marital restraints.
The movement I'm favor Of easy divorce
which is spreading in most countries Of
Europe. and which has already reached
such an alarming proportion in the
United States. cannot therefore but de-
mand the serious attention OF all who
have at heart the welfare of the race
or nation. For no nation can last
which is not built upon a sound moral
basis.
Indissoluble Marriage.
Marriage does not derive its sanction
from personal inclination nor from per
sonaI advantage. Personal inclination
and advantage rightly enter into the
consideration of marriage, but the su-
preme object of marriage is the prOpa-
CATION OF the human race in accordance
In other words. marriage is designed by
God as means OF building up a godly
Christian society. 1t is one OF the
means whereby the Kingdom Of God is
10 be established on the earth. The
essential rule OF Christian marriage
raises IL TO the level OF a religious in
stitution and gives it a sacramento
dignity. The sanction OF marriage,
therefore, Is derived not from personal
inclination or any secular advantage.
but from its inclusion in the scheme OF
the Gospel, whereby the world Is TO be
reconstructed into the Kingdom of God,
and man Is TO be raised above more
animal nature and made "a child of
God." In the marriage vow, therefore,
We see not merely the contract between
man and woman. but the contract be
tween man and woman on the one hand
and God on the other. Husband and
wife. when they register their promise

Unselfishness Is truly the foundation
Of good manners. but not the super

Some can be explained by the demand

a child infer from his desire to help
others that he should not eat with his

taste Interfere in some way with the
rights of others, but many others do
not.
Still no set Of rules to produce a
polished lady will achieve a result flt

to fail at the breakfast table or In the

A half-dozen CRATE bars were hur-

officers of the Alabama Make Dis
covery In Cuban Waters.
While the various battleships COM
prising the Atlantic fleet were at the
rendezvous on the south shore of Cuba
it came to pass on one Silly morning
In April last that one Of these, the
Alabama, flagship Of the second squad
ron, must needs lose an awning
stanchion by dropping 1t oversize, says
the New York Times.
Now, awning stanchions are not a
very important part In the equipment
of a battleship, and one more or less
makes no serious difference. This one
had gone overheard in about seventy
feet of water, and at about the same
time the crew was going to breakfast,
so no effort was made to recover 1t.
But 1t so happened that the surgeon
of the vessel, Surgeon L. Won Wede-
kind, came on deck just then to smoke
an after breakfast cigar, and leaning
over the aft rail discerned white OBJ
ject glimmerlng in the depths beneath.
Gazing more intently into the llmpid
depth-the ship just then having swung
so as to form lee-the surgeon made
out the outlines Of another object rest
ing on the sea bed some seventy feet
under foot, and one which took the
shape of a stout, chest, iron-bound and
apparently incrusted with the barna-
cles of hundred years or more.
The surgeon called others to look,
and one or two OF his brother officers
got a glimpse OF the chest before the
sea breeze again blurred the surface
of the water. Then 1t was that a re-
sourceful lieutenant constructed a
water glass, and through this made a
careful scrutiny Of the chest, and from
his observations judged that 1t had
rested there upward of century OF
more. The chest appeared to be OF very
stout build, bound around with iron
bands and one end Of 1t was deeply
sunk In the bed Of the sea.

TWO theories OF the Requirement,

Most mothers hold, consciously or

If my daughter has a kind heart and
a well-trained mind she will behave
In a gentle, charming fashion. l will
teach her compassion, respect for age,
unselfish zeal for helping with the

Short Meter Sermons.

Truth always has met tribulation.
Worry is Il confession of weakness.
You cannot think carrion and live
clean.
Kindness Is the evidence Of kingli-
ness.
Preaching down to folks does not
lift them up.
Sympathy is key that fits the lock
of any heart.
Soul health will not come by taking
religion as dose.
He who earns the crown needs not to
put on any airs.
The surest way to impoverish your
heart is to hoard up your love.
There always is something of the
boy in the man who can lead men.
The man who Is so wise that he
never laughs Is the greatest fool Of all
It's hard stirring the conscience that
Is under the narcotic Of money.
Many cloud that we call sorrow Is
but the shadow of our own selfishness
Nothing makes wrong seem innocent
more quickly than to acquire an in
terest In 1t.
When man blows trumpet to call
attention to the moral screen at his
front door you can be pretty sure OF
finding the back door wide open all the
time
