been adopted as a means of identify

THE LIFE OF SERVICE.
Merciful Sentence That Was Passed
Upon Man by the Creator.

It was a merciful sentence which
the Creator passed upon man for his
disobedience = I'm the sweat of thy
face shalt thou eat bread" for to the
punishment itself he stands indebted
for health, strength, and all the en-
joyment Of life. And, though, the
ground was pronounced cursed for his
disobedience, yet is that curse so or
dered to be the punishment, chiefly
and almost solely of those who, by In
temperance or sloth, inflict it upon
themselves. The stoutest timber
stands on Norwegian rocks, where
tempests rage and long, hard winters
reign. The muscles are seen most
fully developed in the brawny arm
that plies the blacksmith's hammer.
Even 30 the most vigorous and
healthy piety is that which Is the
busiest, which has it's hands full Of
good works, which has neither time
nor room for evil. but, aiming at
great things both for God and man,
promptly and summarily dismisses
temptation with Nehemiah's answer,
Il have great work to do, therefore,
l cannot come down."-Montreal Her

The Glass Eye Crop.

The glass eye crop comes from
Thuringia. AS Newfoundlanders are
fishermen, or as Cubans are tobacco
growers, SO the typical Thuringian is
maker of glass eyes, Almost every
Thuringia. AS Newfoundlanders are
tory. -Four men sit at a table, each
with gas jet before him, and the
eyes are blown from plates and mold
ed into shape by hand. The colors
are traced in with small needles, and,
as no set rule is observed in the color
ing, no two eyes are exactly alike.
Sometimes a one-eyed man or woman
come, maybe, from great distance
sits before one of these Thuringian
tables, posing for glass orb, and
the artisan, with his gas-jet, his glass
and his needle, looks up at his sitter
and then down at his work, and alto
gether the scene suggests a portrait
painter at work in his studio.

What 10 Foolscap7

Everybody the world over recog-
nizes that paper foolscap size means
standard measurement of 10 inches
by 16, yet now few can give the reason
why. In England the paper mark was
originally crown, and when the COM
monwealth was set up Cromwell was
approached as to what mark should be-
used in the future. He, with charac-
teristic contempt for crowns, replied:
"a fools caps" and so it became and
remained, for at the restoration the
matter was overlooked until too late
to act upon the ultimate discovery.
