A Prayer.

Soul of our souls, Thou to whom
we turn for life and health, inspire
and quicken us, and by our worship
prepare us for our work. Give us a
steadfast spirit, heart enslaved by
no appetite or passion, will guided
by wisdom and firm for the right.
Give power to work and power to
wait. mercifully look upon our in
firmities and those evils, which by
our frailty, our sin, or our ignorance
we have invited, turn from us,
Transform evil into good. Out of
mortal weakness bring forth immoT-
tai strength. May the fire purify,
and not consume; and, when we pass
through the rivers, may they not
overwnelm us. Stay with us from
dawn till eventide. Should the way
be rough and gloomy, may We put
our hand in Thine, and, if we are
led out into the dark, still let us hold
fast by Thee, and cast away fear. In
the crush and clang of life, may a
blessed calm often visit us, telling
that a Holy Ghost has entered in,
and will not leave us till we bid Him
go. Amen.-P. E. Wizard.

A wonderful calculating girl, Mile.
Diamandi, has just been presented
to the Society of Anthropology in
Paris.
In the presence of many eminent
mathematician she performed sew
eral remarkable feats, such as work
ing out almost instantly and by men
tai process only the square of 25
figures, subtractions of sums of IL
figures, the square root of from 8
to II figures, and the cube root of
from to 10 figures.
Another feat of mental arithmetic
she performed in less than minute
was to give the number of seconds
within a period of % years.
Mile. Diamandi, who is only 20
years old and of Greek origin. says
that every figure presents itself to
her minds eye in a different color.
Thus, 1 is always black, 2 yellow, 8
pink, and so on. The color vision
is constant, and is entirely dependent
of her own yOlitiOn.

CHINA's RAILWAY PROGRESS.
Lines Are Following Each Other
Thick and Fast.

In two decades the railway will be
as common in China as in Europe.
Already the following lines have been
constructed or are under way, the
necessary concessions having been
granted:
1. Shang-Hai-Wusun completed
in 1875, but closed to traffic owing to
the fanatic opposition of the popula-
ton g Observation-Disclosures Cat
the eastern end of the Chinese WalD ,
173 miles being opened for traffic in
1890, and the line now being extend
ed to Mukden, Kirin and Vladivostok,
connecting with the trans-Siberian
Railway. 8. A line is being built to
connect Stretensk, in the Trans-Bai-
kal government, with Vladivostok,
passing through Manchuria. 4. A
line is open for traffic from Pekin to
Tientsin. 5. A Belgian syndicate
has almost completed line from Pc

TAKING LIFE EASILY.

A calm philosophy toward annoy
ances can be cultivated. One can be
educated to accept little annoyances
with complacency. The victory over
one disagreeable gives strength to
meet the next two, and when the
philosophy is learned that teaches
one to remedy ills when remedy is
possible, and accept the incurable
ones with fortitude and good nature,
life is comparatively smooth.
The woman who has been carried
beyond her destination by the care
lessness of car conductor gains
nothing by rebuking him. He may
not he rude enough to answer her,
but he and the other passengers will
find visible amusement in her wrath
and she loses in dignity and self-re-
spect. Fault-fnding does no good,
and the best disciplinarians never in
dulge in it. They find the best rem
edy for mistakes, and say as little as
possible on the matter.-Pittsburg

THE PEEK-A-BOO WAIST AGAIN.

Should girls wear peek-a-boo shirt
waists? Lillian Bell, in a heart-to-
heart talk in Smiths Magazine, with
American mothers, answers decided
ly in the negative. She declares that
few modern mothers realize how their
daughters spend their time; that the
average young girl is more sophisti-
Gated than her mother, and a harder
person to shock. She tells few de-
cidedly interesting anecdotes of
boarding-school girls, and she says
the blame of the faults which she
calls attention to lies not with the
boarding-school, but with the mother
1t is the lack of mothers education
that makes the modern girl less
sweet and innocent of the world than
those of the past generation. The
main trouble with modern education,
she adds, is that we herd children too
closely together. eff 1 were a woman
of dozen daughters, 1 should hope
that they would all be good but 1
would not be stranger to them
whether they were good or not" she
concludes.

BANISHED
Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof-
fee even after they know it is doing
them harm is puzzler. But it is an
easy matter to give it up for good,
when Postum Food Coffee is proper
ly made and used instead.
A girl writes: Mother had been
suffering with nervous headaches for
seven weary years, but kept drinking
coffee.
"One day | asked her why she did
not give up coffee, as a cousin of
mine had done who had taken to
Postum. But mother was such a
slave to coffee she thought it would
be terrible to give it up.
Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morn
ing while she was drinking Postum
so freely and with such relish I asked
for a taste
That started me on Postum, and
l now drink it more freely than l did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now.
"a girl friend of mine, one day,
saw me drinking Postum and asked
if it was coffee. l told her 1t was
Postum, and gave her some to take
home, but forget to tell her how to
make it.
''The naxt day she said she did not
see how I could drink Postum.
found she had made it like ordinary
coffee. So l told her how to make it
right, and gave her a cupful l made,
after boiling it fifteen minutes. She
said she never drank any coffee that
tasted as good, and now coffee is ban

ITCHING HUMOR ON BOY.
His Hands were Solid Mass, and

Cured in DAYS by Cuticura.

."One day we noticed that our little boy
was all broken out with itching sores. We
first noticed it on his little hands. His
hands were not as bad then, and we didn't
think anything serious would result. But
the next day we heard of the Cuticura
Remedies being so good for itching sores.
By this time the disease had spread all
over his body, and his hands were nothing
but solid mass of this itching disease. I
purchased box of Cuticura Soap and one
box of Cuticura Ointment, and that night
I took the Cuticura Soap and lukewarm
water and washed him well. Then dried
him and took the Cuticura Ointment and
anointed him with it. I did this every
evening and in four nights he was entirely
