vigor with which you are willing To
scrub your neighbors.
The JOY of sacrifice is the secret OF
all joy.
Life's prizes come not by lottery but
by labor
Harvests wet with tears are gathered
in triumph.
The hand Of a child may be as the
fingers of God.
This world is not Christianized until
commerce Is converted.
Uniformity may be the greatest of
all hindrances to unity.
He is master of his spirit who has

You cannot give to others the good
you do not have yourself.
The masters make the roads, but
the mobs keep them muddy.
You can never make facts until you
learn to look beyond mere facts.
If your religion does nothing with
out prOdding, it produces nothing.
The man with a chip on his shoul-
der carries no kindling to the fires of
truth.
If man is called to minister to the
needs of men he is called to know the
natures of men.
The only reason some men will not
go to God is because they cannot get a
round-trip ticket.
The only thing that justifies any
piece Of church-machinery is Its effec-
tiveness in fully saving souls.
We usually find that the things on
which we stub our toes are the trou-
bles we carelessly laid around yester-
day.
1t is easy to plunge the head into
the mud Of miserable doubt and then
complain that God has made life so
mysterious.
When a man talks of being moved
of the Lord he needs to have a care
lest he make false accusation against
the Almighty.
There's a lot of people who hope to
be happy in heaven who know better
than to think that religion is robbing
children of all joy.
If a raw Chinaman came into some
of our modern churches he would con-
clude that we were trying to exercise
demons by the aid of the choir.
Some church folks who would not
think of sitting down with thirteen TO

noring God in their daily living.

WOMAN LONG A POLICEMAN.

Masquerades for Thirty Years Be-
fore Her Sex Is Discovered.
The woman who had masqueraded
for thirty years as policeman in
Seville, and whose sex was only dis
covered as the result of an accident
by which she fractured her leg, was
seen by our Seville correspondent.
She tells me, our correspondent tele-
graphs, that she has always gone by
the name of Fernado Mackenzie, her
father being English and her mother
Spanish. She was born in France,
came to Spain in 1876 at the age of
35 and contrived to erter the Madrid
police force disguised hs man.
She married there and pretended
that her wife's child was her own son.
She removed to Seville, still serving as
a policeman, and was engaged there as
cook and orderly at the governors
palace at the old convent of San Pablo,
which was burned last July. She served
seven successive governors and only
lost her situation through the fire, the
governor removing to a hotel.
In consequence of the discovery OF
her sex she has been discharged from
the police without the pension due to
her and is now helpless cripple and
In great distress. Our correspondent
found her In a miserable room, sitting
in a broken chair facing a large image
of Christ, the only treasure she has
left. She told him that her wife died
two years ago and a neighbor stated
that Fernando" spent all she pos
sessed on the woman's funeral. Her
alleged son has never been seen since
the death of the mother
Mackenzie has a soft voice, a refined
face and delicate features and was
neatly dressed In male attire. Asked
how she escaped detection so long, she
replied that she always lived quietly
In her own house with her wife and
did her duty by her employers so that
no one meddled with her. She owes
rent and fears eviction, her beloved
image being her last resource.
She was speechless with gratitude
for small gift of money and then
turned In an ecstasy of thanks to the
image.-London Mall

There are host of petty ailments
which are the direct result OF the cath
er.
This is more true of the excessive heat
of summer and the intense cold oi
winter, but it is partly true of all sea-
sons of the year.
Whether it be cold or cough, ca.
tarrh of the head or bowel complaint
whether the liver be affected or the
kidneys, the cause is very liable to be
the same.
The weather slightly deranges the
mucous membranes of the organs and
the result is some functional disease.
Peruna has become standby in thous-
ands of homes for miner ailments of this
sort.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way 10 cure DEAFNESS, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
Ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the res ult, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube re tored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
