Just Keep On.

When today's difficulties overshadow
yesterdays triumphs and obscure the
bright visions of tomorrow. when
plans upset and whole years of effort
seem to crystalline into a single hour
of concentrated bitterness, when little
annoyances eat into the mind very
quickly and corrode the power to view
things calmly, when the jolts of mis-
fortune threaten TO jar loose the judg-
ment from its moorings, remember
that in every business in every career,
there are valleys to cross. as well as
hills to scale; that every mountain
range of hope is broken by chasms of
encouragement through which run tor
rent streams of despair! To quit in the
chasm is to fail. See always in your
minds eye those sunny SUBMITS of
success! Don't quit in the chasm!
Keep on-Systein.

sect the first $1,000. After that mon
ey making is easy" This is the old
time sage advice of the hard headed,
self made man. That axiom has set
many men to saving. They fix upon
that sum as the glittering, faroff her
aid of fortune some time to be made.
To a pan on small salary-a salary,
say, out of which something can be
saved weekly without too much depri-
vation-the advice is good. There is
something in it that acts as a stimulus
to economy. And who will deny that
economy is a good thing or that any
truth that lights the way to it should
not be known?
Many men, therefore, have been
buoyed up in their economies by the
belief that the first $1,000 is the hard
est to get and that afterward all the
rest would be easy and the good things
Of the world that follow bounteous
supply Of money would be within easy
reach. 1t is pity that the man who

His idea of making money is to work
for it himself 1t never occurs to him
that money works much easier than he
can and without any of the hardships
he himself experiences-that is to say,
until he has got the first $1,000. That
usually makes young man feel like a

INHUMAN ToRTUREs.
The Old English Custom of Burning
Women Alive.

Women Alive.
The horrible punishment Of burning
women alive seems to have existed in
Saxon England, but perhaps only in
the case of slaves. Under the Norman
rulers any woman, bond or free, who
killed her husband was burned alive,
and the same punishment for this
crime and also for high treason and
even for coming and other minor Of
fenses continued or arose from time to
time through the second and third
periods until it was abolished by act
Of parliament In 1890, the last actual
execution of this kind having, how
ever, taken place six years earlier. The
whipping of women for various Of
fenses continued even later. Public
whipping was not abandoned until
1877. and cases of private whipping oc-
Cured as late as 1920.
There can be no doubt, we think,
that the savage human instinct of
cruelty had something to do with the
barbarous punishments above men
toned. AS the old Roman public
longed for the carnage of the circus,
as the Spanish populace crowded to
the auto-da-fe in the flourishing days
Of the inguisition, so the lower (per-
haps not only the lower strata of Eng
lish nationality took delight in witness
ing tortures which in all probability
were devised and kept up partly for
their entertainment. Judge Jeffreys in
sentencing a woman to be whipped is
reported to have said:
"Hangman, I charge you to pay par
ticular attention to this lady. Scourge
her till her blood runs down. 1t is
Christmas time, cold time for madam
to strip. See that you burn her shoul-
ders thoroughly. y."-Cornhill Magazine.

1t will assuredly seem more tb,,
strange that at one time, and not N
long ago, the wearing of trousers wall
regarded as irreligious.
The fact that in October, 1872 All
order was made by st. Johns ami
Trinity colleges that every young man
who appeared in hall or chapel in Dan

it would appear that eight years late,
the founders of a Bethel chapel Al,
Sheffield inserted a clause In the trust
deed ordaining that "under no circun.
stances whatever shall any preache,
be allowed to occupy the pulpit wb
wears trousers"
This is striking, but it is even moe
impressive to find that the Rev. Hugr
Bourne, one of the two founders Of tbl
Primitive Methodist Connexion, said o.
his cofounder, THAT trousers wearing

was the night of their arrival, and Dr.
Graylie had been awakened by the con-

an open shutter, and presently he made
out shadowy form gliding among his
baggage. As it approached the bed he
feigned sleep and soon felt a hand
stealing under his pillow. and about his
