Aerial Letter Boxes.

Aerial letter boxes have been placed
in all large tenement houses and
apartment buildings in Budapest,
Hungary. When the postman enters
the hall on the first floor of a building
he places the letters in the boxes al
lotted to the different families. A
spring is then pressed and electricity
does the rest. The boxes are shot UP
to the floor required, where they re-
main until emptied or until the post.
man comes again and brings them
down by touching another spring.

carlessness Often Causes the Loss Of

The dealer who has eatables to offer
for sale to the public and finds it nee.
essary in order to appeal to the ap-
petite of the passing public to place
his display within sight Of the pros.
pective purchaser, thereby making it
necessary TO make sidewalk displays,
cannot afford to underestimate the
fastidiousness Of taste possessed by
the average American. For the most
part the women are the buyers for
the household, and they are choicy
bunch, too. They are prone to take
their time in looking over their pros.
pective purchases, and the slightest
thing to arouse their suspicion that
everything about the stcze is not clean
will have more damaging effect to the
merchants business than a brick
house falling on the average man.
In catering to the women's idea Of
cleanliness we believe there is but
one way to make sure and that is
high elevation for the display of goods.
1t is true that particles sift in from
the street and cannot be kept out Of
the display, however high from the
sidewalk they are placed, but the most
nauseating of all the pests of dogs and
similar animals are kept away from
the vegetables and will have no little
part in aiding the purchaser to believe

sERMoNETTE.

Sorrow and bereavement
which turn one to God have
performed a blessed ministry.
Faith that lie not content TO
rest until it comes into the very
presence of the source of help
is the faith which obtains
Fortunate indeed Is he who In
the hour of need knoweth
whittier to turn for help. The
shunammlte had learned to
know the prophet of God before
the great sorrow broke upon
her life, SO that when 1t did
come she lost no time in reach
ing his presence. So should it
be with us. We should become
acquainted with God now so
that in the day of trouble we
shall know whittier to flee for
refuge and strength and help.
Bereavement is slorified by
submission and made victorious
through faith.
When the boy was dead the
broken-hearted mother took and
laid her boy on the prophets
bed, thus betokening not only
faith that the prophet would
help in her need but subnis-
sion to the loss which had be-
fallen her. When we can take
our dead and give them up to
God, recognizing that he who
has given has right to take
away, then are we ready to
reach up in faith and receive
the blessing which God would
give to US through our grief.
1t was a long, hard journey
to Mount Carmel, where the
prophet dweIt, but faith and
love never find any road too
long or too hard to travel.
1t is the faith which clinss
and cries, III will not leave
thee" which obtains the bless
ing.
The staff in the hands of &C.
hazi was powerless to bring life
into the dead body, but the
throbbing life of the prophet
stretched upon the cold body of
the boy was the potent factor
which could bring from God the
desired blessing. The mothers
faith was proved by her jour-
ney to Mount Carmel, and her
cIingine to the prophet until he
should come to her home. The
faith of the prophet was proved
} by the surrender of his dignity
and comfort and the getting
right down alongside the cold,
dead body, where he could give
of his life to the warming into
new life of that dead boy. The
reason the servants of God so
often fail in their ministry Is
that they are content with long,
distance methods instead OF
that heart to heart, face to face
contact which makes the cold,
Indifferent person feel the throb-
bing, loving interest Of the
other, and thereby interprets to
} that needy one what the love
! and life Of God really are.
Jesus made the long, hard
journey from heaven to earth,
that He might lay His bruised
! and bleeding body alongside the
body of the world dead in sin,
! and thereby He called it into
life, thing which all Gods ser
! wants sent before Jesus came
into the world were unable to
! do. Let this example of Jesus
which the act of Elisha so
! forclbIy typifies stir US to like
endeavor.

Took the Prayer Back.

A very devout Presbyterian clergy
man in the middle west had just mar
ried couple, and, as was his custom,
offered a fervent prayer, invoking the
divine blessing upon them. AS they
seemed to be worthy folk and not
overburdened with this wor;ls goods,
he prayed, among other things, for
their material prosperity, and be-
sought the Lord to greatly increase
the mans business, laying much
stress on this point.
In filling out the blanks it became
necessary to ask the man his business
and to the minister's horror he said:
Il keep a saloon"
In telling the story to his wife af-
terward the clergyman said that as he
wrote down the occupation he whis-
pered:
