Flowers Better Than Fly Paper.

Mignonette a substitute for fly
paper! Surely, Of any remedy
for any bad condition that an
nouncement has a delightful
sound, says the New York Press.
A woman living in the country
asserts that in a room where
pots of mignonette are set flies
will not linger. Instead of
placing those annoying sticky
sheets of paper about the room, !"
says an experienced woman, or
undergoing exhausting exercise
of driving the pests out of the
place through windows, the
blessed plant seems to blow them
out on a wave of what you and |
would call its fragrance. +"

A Hard Nut to Crack.

To settle a dispute, | wish you
would answer the following,
which, to my mind, is about the
toughest nut to crack that | ever
encountered. The incident is
supposed to have happened about
fifteen years ago, when a Mexi-
can dollar was worth only IS
cents in American money, and an
American dollar worth only 81
cents in. Mexican money. The
opening transaction took place in
Ell Paso, Texas.
A thirsty gentleman walked
into an Ell Paso saloon and bought
a drink. He was handed a Mexi-
can dollar in change, which al
lowed the saloon keeper Is cents
for the whisky. Going across
the Rio Grande an hour later, he
walked into an Ell Paso del Norte,
Mexico, saloon and bought an
other drink. The Mexican hand
ed him an American dollar in
change. Stepping out on the
sidewalk, he looked at his dollar,
scratched his head and-went to
thinking. Here was a cinch.
He had bought and paid for two
drinks, and yet here was his dol
lar. Not a cent out, and two
drinks in. Shoe leather didn't
cost much, so he hoofed it back
to Ell Easo, Texas, and bought a
third drink, receiving a Mexican
dollar in change. Thirty minutes
later found him again in Ell Paso
del Norte, where he swallowed
the fourth drink, receiving an
American dollar in change. By
all the rights and usual customs
of bargain and sale, he should
have had now only 40 cents, and
yet-he was lovingly fondling
that dollar he started out with!
1t was strange, and yet literally
true, that he had paid for COL
cents worth of wet goods, and
yet he had not parted with one
cent.
The story goes on that he kept |
up this little alternating scheme
of trading until he had consumed
$10.05 worth of whisky, winding
up in Ell Paso, Texas, drunk as a |
lord with his original American
dollar in his pocket.
Now what | want to know is |
this: Who lost that $10.O5? The
saloon keepers did not, for they
received full price for each and
every drink sold. The govern
ments did not, because the medi- |
um of, exchange was strictly OBJ |
served in each transaction. The
bibulous gentleman certainly did
not, for he had consumed $10.05
worth of somebody's goods, pay
ing for it at the time of purchase,
and yet winding up with as much
as he started out with.
Who lost the amount?
Can you tell me?

Modern Society.

1t is in the home that woman
rises to her truest heights and
wields her widest influence.
Every home is a miniature world,
and the wife is a crowned queen.
The wife who makes society the
field of her accomplishments soon
finds her husband a devoted club
man. The woman who fills her
head with many of the ideas and
pleasures of much that is called
society, soon wants to entertain
her husband, any evening she
may not have some other en-
gagement, with cards. She
plays just as she did to win some
prize at progressive euchre Or
whist parties. She cheats a lit
tie, and they a have a little spat
over it, and then another and an
other, and presently she fires
something at his head, but misses
it and it hits the motto over the
door, God Bless Our Home. ;"
Their little boy says: MA, you
missed pas head, but you gave
the motto hail Columbia. Often
the only question to be decided
in that home is, who shall have
the boy?" and the court is asked
to decide it. God pity the woman
who has set her heart on much
that is in modern society.
Many men are said to be self
taught. Nom was ever taught
in any other way. Do you
suppose a man to be a bucket to
be hung on the we'll of knowledge
and pumped full? Man is a
creature that learns by the ex-
ertion of his own faculties. There
are aids to learning of various
kinds; but no matter how many
Of these aids a man may be sur
rounded by after all, the learning
is that which he acquires him
self. Whether he is in college or
out Of college, in school or out Of
school, every man must educate
himself. And in our times and
| in this community every man has
the means of doing it.

A SOUL WINNING MINISTRY
By Rev. Israel Putnam.
Part Fourth.
IN FOUR PARTS.


No man was ever known as soul
winner who denied the plenary inspi-
ration of the Bible. Every successful
minister of Christ has un nbounded faith
in the Sacred Scriptures. And every
one who would be successful must
have the same faith. And when say
Sacred Scriptures mean every thought
from Genesis to Revelation. To begin
to question the genuineness of any part
il to open the way to a disposition to
doubt and tear down the whole struo-
ture of Truth. An old colored brother,
Deacon, said concerning his minis
ter: "He's de bes man I eber seed to
TAX de Bible apart, but he dunno how
to put ii togedder agin." This is an
excellent description of some ministers
today. They criticise. change, explain
away, set up their own opinions etc.
until the message is one sided and
without Divine authority. So much
letting the Bible down to men, rather
than lifting men up to the Bible has
most seriously injured spiritual life in
the churches until only about one in
five or six of the membership are at
prayer and GLASS meetings and other
devotional services.
We are in time when great en-
phasis must be put on the person of
Christ. To know who He is, is more
important than to know what He said,
for the authority of his Word depends
upon who He is. And what is thought
about Him is certainly going to affect
what is thought about the efficiency
of his atonement. - Much modern day
preaching only patronizes Christ
and He is often damned with faint
praise. The blood of sacrifice is light
ly esteemed. His ethical teachings
are exalted we'll but if souls are to be
won the pulpit shall be the pedestal
for the Gross. The only true preach
