Rum at the Bottom.

"It might interest the public to
know" remarked Clerk John P. Man
ming, of the Suffolk superior GRIMM
al court of Boston, in submitting his
recent annual report for publication,
that nearly ninety per cent. OF the
cases that passed through our court
last year were for drunkenness. This
SUPPORTS the argument l have always
clung to, namely, that rum is at the
bottom of all kinds of crime and
vice"

To Pop Corn.

To pop corr successfully so that
the kernels will be soft throughout,
put enough in the wire pepper to
barely cover the bottom. Turn the
cold water from the faucet over the
corn and let it be saturated before
placing over the fire. Shake the
water from the pepper, and put it in
the oven to dry. Then pop over a
bright fire. This is perfect popcorn
and is not indigestible.

spirit. The sermon Is the best which
does the best work. We get in the
way Of admiring the the sermon for
itself. q We form certain laws, we
have certain examples, and we try to
make the sermon conform to them.
And we are tempted to Judge preach
ing by this ideal. "But laws, ideals,
are only for use," asserts DR.. A, s..
Hoyt. "They must always be kept
servants. And the man and the mes
sage and the souls Of his hearers,
these must be kept supreme. Some.

Holding Our Peace.

1.-THE Lord shall fight for you; but
ye shall hold your peace.'-Exodusr
xiv, IA.
Most of us need no prompting to-
make a noise In life, to strain every
effort to achieve successive fret and
fume, we are quick to express our
feelings, we are readily aroused to-
action, and regard ealmness as a kind
Of cowardice in the heat OF, conflict.
We prefer to fight for ourselves.
Now there are times not unfre-
quent when we must be stirred to
activity and achievement-thfs world
is not for the ascetic or the spiritless.
Yet few realize the equal necessity
for periods Of calm reflection, trustfuf
waiting, quick preparation, as we
rest on our oars, content to let things
right themselves and confident that
row, the pain will not last forever.
Some power then outside Of ourselves
will fight for us--we AN hold our
peace.
: Most of us worrysneedlessly atSthe
chain Of circumstances. II we sim
cerely believe that the universe is
controlled by q deity, the common
Father Of all races, nations and
creeds, however differently He IL
called and approached, 1t is clear
that we must allow Him to manage
affairs as He pleases-whether He
send seed time or harvest, summer
or winter, calm or, storm-and we
ought to feel that changes In the
world of outside nature as well as
sorrow, pain, injustice In our every;
day life are designed for a good end.
If the laws Of the physical world
are wisely adjusted, from the star
to the tree, we must recognizes SINH
lar wisdom in the laws of the moral
universe. We must blame our own
imperfectness and ignorance II things
at times are hard to hear OF UNDER
stand and we standJin despair at the
realities of life, the sharp, bitteE
struggle that comesto most OF us.
Let US learn, then, the beauty; the
value of holding our peace at every
crisis in life. God perhaps is nearest
to the human heart when 1t turns to
Him in, trial and leaves alto Hina-

The "Making-Upo PROCESS.

Making up" always eXcites the Gu
riosity of the matinee girl, and she
wonders how 1t is done. While the au-
dience is gathering downstairs and
looking over the program, the actors
are scattered throughout their dress
ing rooms going through the mysterious
process by which they shake off the
attributes of children of earth and be-
come the dazzling, the intangible spirit
folk of the genii land.
The first part Of the process, suppos-
Ing you are young woman, necessi-
tates the removal of your outer gar
ments, and the DOMINIC Of sacque or
kimono; then the binding of your hair
tightly away from your face, and an
application of cold cream to your fea-
lures. 1t is impossible for anyone to
be even passably good looking at this
stage. There are various rules about
the application Of makeup to narrow
and broad-faced persons, low and high
foreheaded ones, which l should not
attempt to go into even II knew
them. But the general idea is to put
the red" on after the cold cream blend
it in with the bare's foot and then put
ON the powder. / forget whether you
do" your eyes before or after this; at
any rate, when you do that you make
various lines and shadows and make
an effort to be as, beautiful as possible.
There are infinite little touches of the
blue and white and red by which the
makeup artist can. produce any effect
she wishes upon her face. To quote
one of the actresses, making up is
| really painting a picture on your face"

In the cause Of charity and the confer.
ences of the various societies organ
lied for the relief of suffering is SO
often in vain Z Always the answer Is
the same: L am too busy L am too
tired Il haven't the time and yet
there Is always time for self-amuse-
ment self-interest and self-advance-
ment." The evil Is not confined to any
one parish or any one religious denom-
nation. Charity workers in all fields
notice it. Many will give little
money, few will do the actual work.
Personal giving, under wise direction,
and personal help are the things most
needed. 1t would be matter OF great
regret IL the organization of charitable
work were to kill out the personal
touch and the feeling of Individual re-
sponsibility.

1t Is quite certain that a consider
able percentage Of every class in life
Is living beyond it's means In the eff
fort to make display, keep up ap-
pearance and climb into the next high
er class. This tendency Is always ex-
aggerated by the higher wages and
larger profits In time of prosperity
and by the hope 1t holds out of perma-
nent improvement of condition. Every
country needs the tonic of panic de-
preston now and then to take the con-
ceit out of Its people and teach them

promiscuous giving Is going out of

philanthropy take pride in the fact. A

an advantage-the loss OF personal In

CHAPTER v,

The manuscript, which was sealed on
ITS cover In many places, consisted of
several pages Of close writing, and of
sketches and scraps from newspapers
Italian. French and English. The sketches
looked at first, and was not a little
surprised to see that one of them was the
portrait Of the man known as Roaring
john" and there was wit hthis blur
red and faint outline of the features of
the seaman called .Four-E Eyes" But
what, perhaps, was even more difficult to
understand was the picture of the great
hull Of what judged to be a warship,
showing her a-building, with the work yet
progressing on her decks. The newspaper
cuttings deemed to be In some part an
explanation of these sketches, for one of
them gave a description of a very note
worthy battleship, constructed for a
South American republic, but In much
secrecy.
All this reading remained enigmatical,
Of course, and as l could make nothing of
It to connect 1t with the events l have
narrated, went on to the writing, which
was fine and small, as the writing Of an
exact man. And the words upon the
head of 1t were these:
