A Prayer.

Heavenly Father, thou Divine
Father of our human spirits, we
bring to Thee our little power; touch
it with new life, giving us to realize
that it is a part of Thy power. We
bring to Thee our little wisdom; en-
large and raise it through the sense
that it is part of Thy wisdom and
that as we commune with Thee we
may become more like Thee in wis
dom. We bring to Thee feeble love;
strengthen it, o God, through the
consciousness that it is indeed Thy
love inspiring u.s. Fill our hearts
with a larger and deeper love.
We thank Thee, o God, for the
opportunities of our life. Some
times the means and the occasions
which are ours seem to us so slight,
so small. and so insignificant. Some
times Thou revealed to us that we
have great opportunities. May we
be conscious, o God, of the greatness
of our present opportunity. Gathered
from the lands of the world, belong
ing to many nations. living from day
to day under varied conditions, we
would realize that Thy spirit should
be ours now, during this week,
through all our lives. Join us, O
God, together in the sense of deep
unity, in the sense that our great
object is one, that, however diverse
our circumstances, we may be one
in Thee. May we dedicate ourselves
in all humanity, but with full aspi-
ration, anew to Thy service.
Our Father which art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name. Thy king
dom come. Thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven. Give us this
day our daily bread, and forgive us
our trespasses as we forgive them
that trespass against us. And lead
us not into temptation, but deliver
us from evil. For Thine is the king
dom, and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever, amen.-Rev. Henry
Rawlings.

The Power of His Resurrection.

Let us who believe in the Lord of
life no longer seek the living among
the dead. Let us not go with Mary
to the grave to weep there; but let
us stand where she stood after she
had recognized her risen Lord in the
light of the Easter morning, and with
a joyful heart exclaim, Rabboni!"
To know Him and the power of
HIS resurrection is to have joy for
the mourning, the garment of praise
for the spirit of heaviness. st. Paul
says he counts all things but loss
for the excellency of this knowledge.
And well he may, and so may we;
for without this knowledge all other
things are very small gain.
To stand beside sepulchre weep
ing, or with thoughts that lie too
deep for tears" is the universal hui
man lot "since sorrow set her bleed
ing heart on this fair world of ours"
But bitter tears are shed only by one
who hopelessly says: "They have
taken away my Lord" We tarry
at a sepulchre only when faith is
under an eclipse With spiritual
sight of Jesus and the recognition of
His voice, Gin whom, though now
we see Him not, yet believing, we
rejoice with joy unspeakable," we
turn away from the empty tomb.
knowing that it is only the gateway
of life, that grief is an avenue to
richer joy, and the light affection
is a factor in the eternal weight OF
glory.-Christian Advocate.

They Went To Church.

Attendance at church service is OBJ
ligatory upon the part of soldiers at
certain English posts, and amusing
stories are told of the excuses that
are sometimes resorted to in order
to escape this requirement.
At one post where number of
recruits were temporarily stationed
an old sergeant was ordered to ascer-
tain to what religious sect each man
belonged, and to see that he Joined
the party told of for that particular
form of worship.
Some of the men had no liking
for church, and declared themselves
to be atheists. But the sergeant was
a Scotsman and a mail of experience.
'Ah, weel," said he, "then We haze
no need to kape holy the Sabbath,
and the stable hae ma been claned
DOT lately" And he ordered them
to clean out the stables. This oc-
cupied practically the whole day, and
the men lost their usual Sunday af-
ternoon's leave.
Next Sunday a broad smile crept
over the face of the sergeant when
he heard that the atheists had join
ed the Church of England.-From

GunpoMder And Matches.

Austin Miller, employed by the
Illinois Steel Company, at South Chi
cago, was the victim of a peculiar
accident the other day, when guam
tity of gunpowder, which he carried
in his coat pocket, exploded. Physi-
clans at the company's hospital said
they did not believe he would recover.
Miller is employed in the blasting
department, and before leaving for
work he filled his coat pocket with
the powder.
AS he was entering the plant he
slipped and fell to the floor. The
pocket in which the powder was kept
also contained several matches.
When the young man struck the floor
the friction ignited the matches and
set fire to the gunpowder. A deafen-
ing explosion followed, and when the
smoke cleared Miller was found man
gled and bleeding fifteen feet from
where he had fallen.-Chicago Jour-

lM Fssa FABRICATED.

From The Reader: A new fear
has just been created for the human
race. Siegfried wandered far and adj
and the human race has come on
down its long path without discov-
ering the particular apprehension
which has now been invented by Ma
jor Charles E. Woodruff, surgeon in
the United States army. He has de-
cided that we ought to be afraid of
sunshine. He says: Gods sun
light has had credit for more false
merits than any other of the various
superstitions to which men have
fallen victims. We recognize the
fact that it kills bacteria, but we ig-
norantly fail to reflect that it has
just as fatal an effect on the pro-
toplasm which composes the human
system. Gods sunlight is produc-
ing neurasthenia and cardiac feeble
ness and anaemia, is promoting tu-
berculosis, and increasing insanity
and suicide every day. not only in the
tropics, but here in New York. Gods
Goodness wherever it Is found
the shade of dark houses and trees
and awnings promoting health,

He has much to say that is inter-
esting concerning the effect of eli
nate upon nations. He finds the

tight and its southern latitude, pecul-
iarly fitted for Italians, Armenians,
Arabians, Hungarians, Slavs and
Asiatics, but i'll adapted to the Eng
lish, the Scandinavian and the
Scotch. He advocates artificial de-
tense against light. We must, Major
Woodruff urges abandon this non
sense about Gods sunshine.
This affords as rare an opportunity
for worry as could have been de-
vised! California, Arizona, Okla
homa, New Mexico, Kansas, Ne
braska. all the sunny South Texas,
that little nation, must get their avn
ings or perish! And those desert
towns that congratulate themselves
on being the refuge for the ailing,
that imagined they had seen tuber-
culosis sufferers by the thousand
shake off their fell disease, they, it
appears, have been under a delusion
-an celebrating hallucination.
Back to the shadows, then, and the
mephitic caves, and the dim old
vault-like rooms! Back to the dark
tenements and the narrow streets of
the ancient citiesi Back to the un-
derground dungeons and the subter-
ranean passages! All our compassion
for those who "dwelt in darkness"
has. It appears, been misplaced. It
was really we, walking abroad in
fields AND on sunny streets, sitting
by our south windows and tending
our gardens on the southern slopes,
who were to have been compassioned.
Major Woodruff is to be congratulate
ed on having added an entirely new
item to the innumerable list of ap-
prenensions with which man saddens
his life.

waits for and the fool has to pay for

WISE WORDS.

What is home without a good
cook?
Better an ounce of example than
pound of advice.
The more a man knows the less he
pretends to know.
No man is totally bad and no wom-
an is totally good.
Jealousy is a vine which produces
a crop of sour grapes.
Everybody knows how everybody
else ought to do things.
This world has no love for the
lover who loves only himself.
Old bachelors are as hard to be
understood as widows are easy.
Some men are born great, but as
a rule they soon begin to shrink.
Even respectable people, like good
weather, are often talked about.
A woman never pretends to be
young until she begins to feel old.
A girl may be as pretty as a pic
ture-but some pictures are fierce.
If love would only remain blind
after marriage-but what's the use?
A newly married man protects his
wife by putting his armor round her.

a man on the road to the almshouse
A man isn't necessarily the head
of the house because he wears big
hat.
Be sure you get round-trip ticket

Beware of the man who is always
harping about honesty being the best
policy.
House painters and novelists are
responsible for some highly-colored
stories.
The average man is dissatisfied
either with what he has or with what
he hasn't.
A business woman should never
propose to a man who can't cook or
sew on buttons.
A woman always imagines she is
charitable when she lets her hus-
band have his own way.

Strenuous Times. These!

We are passing rapidly from
strenuous to more strenuous times.
A hundred years ago our forefathers
did not violate the Queens English
when they CHANGED to miss a sailing
vessel across the Atlantic and had to-
wait six months for the next. Fifty
years ago cur forefathers swore but
little when perhaps they missed
stage-coach crossing the western
prairies, and had to wait even in
Chicago for 80 days.
Now a man swears viciously if he
misses a train-even when going to
work-and has brainstorm If he
misses a street car.

Voice Energy.

Dr. Marage recently presented be-
fore the Academy of Medicine, at
Paris, the results of an investigation
of the amount of work performed by
orators and singers. 1t appears from
his experiments that bass voice, in
order to produce the same impress
sion upon the ears of hearers in
hall, requires the performance of
from seventeen to eighteen times
more work than is required for a
barytone or tenor voice. The bass
voice is always at a disadvantage
with regard to the amount of work
it demands. Thus, Dr.. Manage finds
that whereas men are always more
fatigued than women and children
by an equal effort of the voice, men
with bass voices suffer the most ia
tigue.-Youth's Companion.

One Cartoonist's Record.

Cartoonist Davenport has the uni
que record of electing more men to
office than any other cartoonist in the
country, and his method is unique
in that he does it by opposing them.
On the notable list of men he has
helped to elect will be found the
name of the late President Mckinley
the late Senator Hanna, Mayor Nc
Clellan, of New York; Mayor Busse,
of Chicago, and, lately, Mayor john
son, of Cleveland. And the explana-
ton is, possibly, that while many
cartoonists show in a pleasant way
the faults and foibles of the candi-
dates they oppose, they do it in a
kindly, humorous way, while Daven-
ports political drawings generally
show bitterness. - Marion 60 h o.

TIE FLAVOR OF EGGS.

The age of the egg has very
marked effect upon it's flavor, as
germs enter through the porous shell
and start process of decomposition.
The favor of the fresh eggs varies
with the food of the hen. If the hen
eats large amount of animal food
the eggs will have stronger, coarser
flavor than when the hens are fed
chiefly upon grains. Strong-f1avored
vegetables, such as onions, affect the
taste of the eggs in a very marked
degree. Another very important
point in securing eggs of good favor
is to keep them in a clean place, away
from strong-smelling substances. The
shell of the egg is porous and readily
absorbs odors. If there is musty hay
in the hens nests the eggs will be
pretty sure to have bad flavor

PRESERVING THE SADDLE.

One of the best of polishes for rid.
ing saddles and brides is stated by
a large saddle manufacturer to be
new milk. This should not be rubbed
in the leather, however, until the
latter has been cleaned with slightly
warmed water and soap. Hard work
ing stock saddles can be kept in good
condition by thoroughly rubbing with
three parts of palm oil and one OF
neatsfoot-after first washing with
soap and water. For the leather lin.
ing of saddles that comes next to the
horse, there is nothing so good as
neatsfoot oil. The salt which e1-
udes from the animals body is very
hard on the leather. Vigorous and
protracted rubbing of the leather is
essential in any case, that is, what
ever dressing is used. there should
be a large admixture of elbow
