In the Path of Attainment.

NStUtCd.J
We must define clearly what it is at
which we aim: next we must consider
by what path we may speedily reach
it; for on our journey itself, provided
it be made in the right direction, we
shall learn how much progress we have
made each day, and how much nearer
we are to the goal toward which our
natural desires urge us. But as long
as we wander at random, not following
any guide except the shouts and dis
cordant clamors of those who invite
use to proceed in different directions,
our short life will be wasted in use
less roamings. even if we labor both
day and night to get a good under
standing.

Look carefully over the fronds of
your ferns at this season of the year.
If there are small brown scale-like ex
crescences on the under side remove
them gently with the blunt edge of a
knife, and wipe off with cloth. If the
scales are allowed to remain, the leaves
will eventually turn yellow and die.

The blind, like other mortals, wish
to know the time exactly, and as very
few of them are in a position TO Sc
cure a good repeating watch, whose
cost is always great, they have to be
content with ordinary watches, and
taking the crystal out of the face they
ascertain the time by the angles and
position of the hands, which frequent
ly causes disarrangement of the time
piece.
In view of these difficulties a for
eign firm has constructed a watch for
the blind, which represents the fig
ures in allegorial manner. and appar-
emily is very convenient. The signs
in relief are the following: One
O'Clock, a dot; o'clock. two dots; 3
O'Clock, a triangle: O'Clock, a
square; o'clock. a five pointed star:
6 o'clock. an eclipse.
These same signs are repeated in
the same order in bas-relief repre-
senting the hours from to -. The
number of signs is therefore limited
to six, and it is very easy TO ascer-
tain from them the time of day. The
hands are very strong and the watch
has been used with good results.
Another watch for the blind has
been invented by Vi. Pierre Tissot-
Bersof, by which the blind can tell
not only the hour, but also the min
ute. The hours are represented by
figures of the Braille system.-Bos-
ton Herald.

RESPONSIBILITY OF EDITORS.


George William Curtis laid down
the unalteTable law OF editorship
when he said that a man should not
do anything as an editor that he
would not do as a gentleman.
No gentleman would introduce
into your home a conversation on a
strictly private medical topic, or re-
late stories OF well-known persons
that were palpably false. And no
editor has a right to seek your COM
pany b. such means, even though
they are contained in a publication
behind which he is 10 a large extent
hidden and protected.
You have grown careful about your
food, your milk supply. your meats.
your vegetables, and the slightest
thing that is questionable now leads
to vigorous complaint. But what
about the mental food for your fam
lily, the reading for your sons and
daughters, and even your own maya
zines and newspapers? When you
find rottenness, do you follow the
dictates of your conscience and your
judgment, or do you calmly accept
it as the natural product of a new
age?
There is nothing new in the stan
dards of decent editing and healthy
reading. The best and the cleanest
In current literature is hardest TO
secure; il means more in thought,
effort and money. The sensations
which are exploited before you are
-,
but are essentially cheap and false
in their price marks. Furthermore,
the. are doubly expensive in that
they destroy the appetite for sane
literature and accurate information,
just as tainted food too highly sea-
soned will injuriously affect the
whole physical and moral structure.
Homes in which erctic stories and
scandal romances are read, be they
in books or magazines or news
papers, are not the homes that are
contributing to the proper manhood
and womanhOOd of the world-are
not the homes that will supply the
leaders in thought and action for to-
morrow. These vulgar sensations
taint the mind, and a tainted mind
means a tainted soul.
Therefore, who taints his soul
may be said to throw dirt in God S
face"
Give an account of thy steward
ship, for thou mayst be no longer
steward" This was the message
brought to America a few weeks ago
by the Bishop of London, a modern
leader of the people, the first Bishop
OF London to preach in America, and
he gave his message TO a congrega-
ton of millionaires. Just before he
sailed he was called to see a man
whose name was known throughout
the world This man had just been
given six weeks to live, and the whole
matter of responsibility and pride
came before him vividly, alarmingly.
What was fame or great wealth in
the presence of a death sentence,
only six weeks away?
1T is my contention" said the
Bishop, that a man who believes
that he is more than a steward is as
mad as a Bishop of London who
thinks he owns the world" Again,
Anything you have is not your own.
We are simply stewards, not owners"
Editors are the stewards of the re-
sponsibility which they owe to their
readers; you are the stewards of the
responsibility which you owe to
yourselves and to your homes.

FRAGMENT.

% dweller in the valley, lift thine eyes
To where above the drift of cloud, The

Endures in silence. and TO God alone
Upturns It's furrowed visage, and is wise.
There yet is being, far i-om all that dies,
And beauty where no mortal maketb
moan,
Where larger planets swim the liquid
zone,
And wider spaces stretch TO camer skies.
Only little way above the plain
Is snow eternal. Round the mountains

Hovers the fury of the wind and rain
Look up, and teach thy noble heart TO

From endless labor. There is perfect

Only little way above thy pain.
