Sometime Weu Understand.

When some of us get to heaven we
shall doubtless look back with won
der upon the way In which Cod has
upheld us and guided and protected
us. We shall know then as we cannot
know now that He helped us a thou
sand times when we did not know 1t;
that He foresaw for us where we
were utterly blind; that He averted
for us dangers which would have
ruined us; that He directed for us
the chain of events when many times,
had 1t been otherwise, we should
have gone down. We shall then
know, as we cannot know now, how
good He has ever been to us.-West-

Sincerity is Not Enough.

Here is a man who is sowing what
appears to be black ashes. A friend
accosts him, saying. What have
you got in your bag?" He learns
that it Is the hulls of buckwheat-
the chaff of old wheat; and he says
What are you sowing chah for?"
why" the man replies, II have the
impression that If a man Is only
faithful and sincere, 1t makes no
difference what he sows."
Does 1t not make a difference:
Suppose a man should SOW couch
grass. thinking he was going to get
timothy hay; would he? Suppose a
man should set out crab-apple-trees
in his orchard, and think he was
going to get fall pippins; would he?
Suppose a man should SOW that most
detestable of all detestable seeds, the
Canadian thistle, and say II was
wheat; would any amount OF botani-
cal sincerity on the part of this kool
secure to him a harvest OF anything
better than the seed sown? II he
sowed chan, he would not even
reap chaff II he sowed weeds, he
would reap weeds. For what a
man sows" in natural husbandry,
that shall he reap. Henry Ward

Make Milk Safe.

Scientific investigations have proved
that milk in raw state should never
be given to children. Those who can.
not buy pasteurized milk should pas
teurize it at home. This can be done
by observing these simple directions:
bring the milk slowly to boil,
and when 1t reaches the boiling point
bottle it instantly, cork tightly and
cool 1t.
2--Never feed milk that is more
than twenty-four hours old to an in
fant.
3-Keep the milk near ice, and
never leave a milk bottle uncorked.
y 4--Cleanse and scald all bottles be-
fore refilling.
Careful observance of these direc-
tions will insure against babies con-
tracing diseases from impure milk.

BITTER WAR ON INTEMpERANcE
SOLDIERS FIGHTING THIS CURSE
GREATLY CHEERED.

The Brewers Observation-Disclosures
Which Prove the Talk About
''Pure Liquors. is Sham and
Dciusion.
It is interesting to no,e the adroit
tactics to which the men who, to q
large extent, control the liquor in
terests in certain States, are COM
PEELED to resort In the futile hope
of checking the great temperance IL
-dal wave. Seeing how deadly TO the
drink traffic the publication of eco-
nomic statistics has proved, the brew
ers, borrowing a leaf from the tenn
perance advocates book. are now
publishing statistics OF their own.
That these are manufactured ITO
order" need hardly be explained, but
what Is not SO easy to understand is
how any one could accept them ser
iously.
1t is not difficult matter to man.
gle even official statistics so as to
make them prove almost anything,
no matter how preposterous. Con-
corning this mangling process, we
may have something to say later
Meanwhile, our esteemed contempo-
rary, the New York Sun, gives both
sides to the controversy more inn
mediate subject for consideration. A
correspondent of that exceedingly
live journal lifts the lid" on some
of the secrets of the brewing houses,
and the disclosures are of a character
that may we'll make even the steady
drinker ask himself whether the
brewers and distillers' claim OF
pure liquor" is not a hollow. sham
and a pitiful delusion. He quotes
from a leading publication of the
brewing trade:
In the advertising pages find
as follows: An entire page devoted to
the merits of Patent Brewing Ma
terials," which by their virtue are
supposed to keep beer without the
use of ice. Another page headed,
Better Beer With Less Malt" and
advocating the use of sugar rather
than malt or rice. On another page
the advertisement of an individual
who offers for sale Pure Beer Ex-
tract Coloring" and "Porterine." On
still another page Is the advertise
ment of a system of fermentation,
by which 1t is claimed that perfect
draft beer can be produced in from
fourteen to twenty-eight days" and
perfect export and bottle beer in
from twenty-one to thirty-five days
from day of brewing" I also find
the advertisement of beer color,
salicylic acid, preserving cakes, pure
malt color. aromatic dextrin malt
all these things being made by one
firm. Also "the best preservative
for ale and lager beer" Also the
advertisement of "maltoid, fake
malt. grits and brewers meal" Also
''isinglass, guaranteed free from
starch"
This analysis of embalmed or pre-.
served beer and chemicalized liquors
cannot be very agreeable subject
of contemplation for those misguided
mortals who indulge the hallucina-
tion that these beverages are pure.
Yet we see the brewers and distillers
widely advertising their purity and
healthfulness; whereas, as their
own trade journals show, they are
for the most part as vile and inju-
rious as could we'll be imagined

The Added Years.


Death is sometimes most kind when
its sad work is most swiftly done.
The heart finds fortitude to meet a
sudden sorrow when 1t cannot bear
the long and anxious waiting, and the
hoping against hope. The constant
shadow of approaching disaster is
more terrible than the darkness it.
self. So thought the household of
Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall when they
looked forward to the long period of
waiting and the inevitable end
Into their home they had taken
the wifes mother. She bad been
long with them through the years of
her wldowhood, not as an outsider,
tolerated for relationship sake. but
as a loved and welcome member of
the family. Her presence, far from
lessening the joys of the home, add
ed to them, although with the joys
came burdens. They we're gladly
borne, but family cares increased and
the duties filled the days, and then
came the long and lingering sorrow.
It was an apoplectic stroke, and
It seemed to be fatal. But the old
Lady fingered for weeks, then slowly
began to improve. Her recovery
seemed impossible, yet in the course
of three months of daily care she
was able to be dressed and to sit in
a chair. 1t seemed certain, however,
that she could never be we'll again,
and the end was inevitable.
Il was not the daily burden that
seemed so hard, but the long look
forward. To have her there, whole
in mind, had been the dearest pleas
ure on earth, but to have her there
not herself mentally, for months and
months appeared too great load to
be carried. There were weary days
when it seemed impossible to bear
under the heavy weight of the labor
and the solcitude.
1t is all past now, and this is the
time to record the results of the
five years that followed. They were
years of unstinted kindness. Hus-
band and wife and children did their
full duty to the aged mother and
grandmother. Patience, of course,
was tried. but it did not fail; and
patience had its perfect work.
But this is not the whole of the
story; patience had also its reward.
The dear old lady's mind came back,
almost as 1t had been before. There
was some lack of coordination and
some confusion of speech, but for the
most part her mind was clear. The
joy of living returned to her; and
she sat in her wheeled chair, and the
world which she could no longer visit
came to her. and she enjoyed it. The
seasons passed In glad procession be-
fore her window. Friends came and
went, and brought the tidings of
other friends near and far, and she
entered with eager interest into the
joy and sympathy of it all and lived
a life that was full, happy and COM
plete, to her, at least-far more tran
gull than any other of the years she
had known.
Then she died. Peacefully and
painlessly the life went out, and the
look of satisfaction was there in
death And those who had looked
forward with shrinking from the long
and heavy burden thanked God for
those added years.
If to some other home with like
burden the printing of this simple
! story can bring like patience and
fidelity, and at the end like memo
ries and thankfulness, 1t will be we'll
I worth the telling here.-Youth' 8

Precious Hours.

The hours of the souls communion
with God are the precious hours of
life. Sacrifice anything rather than
these heavenly impulses. Give up
anything that interferes with carrying
them out into the life. They are scat
tered fountains in the desert, at
which the fainting traveller revives
his strength and courage Then
heavenly voices speak, and happy is
he who gives heed to the heavenly
vision. which is from God and con-
ducts to God. 1t is a beautiful and
comforting thought that everywhere
we are surrounded and enfolded by
the atmosphere of His love. No
where can we be apart from 1t; even
though we stray, we cannot stray be-
yond the bounds of His love and
