Fancy neckwear makes such an inn

I In all ages there have been men
and women who have gained access
to the stores of eternal wisdom, which
had as yet not been discovered by
their fellows. They who have learned
something new, wise and inspiring
concerning our common nature, its
contents and opportunities, possibil-
tiles and destiny, becoming poets,
prophets and preachers, have always
been accounted as first among the
benefactors and helpers of the race.
They who have access to the mines
of divine wisdom will have enough
to do without seeking occupation and
striving to get things done. The
divine wisdom will shape itself into
the motives and deeds of useful
life, and multiply hundred times the
power of one right hand, by inspiring
others and teaching them the benefi-
cent ways of an unselfish life. Often
me very attitude of preacher who is
seeking to make himself useful in
practical affairs is confession that
he has no message which is in him
like consuming fire. The prophet
OF the soul may not lift finger. and
ret set a million hands at work.

Diyining Rod.

d. w. S. New York City,: Kindly
give me some information about the
witch hazel divining rod for locating
water; how it is made, used, etc.
AS usually employed, this device
consists of forked twig, held in a
horizontal position in front of the
operator. He grasps one tip of the Y
with each hand, and the main STEM
projects before him. He walks to
and fro in search of a hidden vein of
water, and it is said that when he is
over one the stem will bend down
ward. Though hazel was once con-
sidered essential, some operators re-
port equally satisfactory results with
other wood, and even with wire. The
device does not work in everybody's
hands, and we do not wish to be un-
derstood as guaranteeing that it will
succeed in any ones. Nevertheless. a
few Of the cases in which the divining
rod seemed to reveal water are now
fairly well attested. New York Tri-
bune.

Because it is matter of common
knowledge that thinking among ami
mails and men is always connected
with the brain, and seems in some
way to be a function OF that organ
it has been somewhat too hastily ar
gued by some thinkers that without
q brain there can be no thought, and
hence, that conscious life ceases with
the death of the body, observes the
Christian Register. But, if we make
a thoroughgoing application of such
an argument, we must infer that
there can be no thought anywhere
without brain, Hence there can be
no God, no intelligence of any kind
anywhere in the universe, nor any
thing corresponding to what we call
thoughts, where there are no brains
to be the organs of them. Hence this
argument, based upon physical con-
ditions and local provisions for the
conduct of human life, comes square
1y into conflict with that other argu-
ment, for the existence of God, drawn
from proofs of intelligence in the uni
verse of which we are part.

One does not always remember,
remarks DR.. Hiram Bingham, of Yale,
that the first Spanish settlements in
South America antedated the first
English settlements in North America
by nearly hundred years, and that
when the Pilgrims landed at Ply
mouth there were already cities in
South America that could boast of a
longer history than Chicago can to-
day. When Harvard, our oldest uni
yersity, was only an idea in the minds
of a few English colonists, the Uni
versity of San Marco, in Peru, was a
well established institution already
older than Cornell is to-day. When
Cornell celebrates her Tooth anniver-
sary, the University of San Marco,
still flourishing, will be getting ready
to celebrate her 4O0th. When Yale
was founded this ancient University
of Lima was already 131 years old.

An extremely useful article in these

the finest linen, not more than five

l can bear you this witness, that
not all friendship, not all praise, not
success in life, not the JOY which /
experienced in communion with ma

sensations in the presence of things
beautiful, nothing in earth, has ever
been to me such strength, such con-
slant JOY, as the sense that Christ

am weak, He is my captain; and be-
cause am imperfect, He is my all
and in all. Henry Ward Beecher.

a blouse as this one finds innumerable
uses. 1t is charming made with the
open square neck, but can, neverthe-

Police Want TO See if Salvatore

As the result of an investigation
made by the second Precinct Police.
Salvatore Antrosia has been arrested
OF suspicion of knowing something in
connection with an explosion at the
house at AZ Division street last Tuesday
night.
Antrosia occupied the first and sec
ond floors of the building, which he had
fitted up, he claims, for his wife and
children, who were expected to arrive
in this country in a few weeks.
The police doubt that part of his
story, and hence his arrest. He will
not be arraigned until tomorrow, so
that the police may find out something
ahout his past history.
Captain Brown subjected Antrosia
and the other occupants of the house
to a severe examination today, but
he will not say what he learned from
them.

that caused the explosion.
