The MAN WHO IALKS

| | like the man or woman who or
| occasion spontaneously gives thanks
not in formal way as an evidence
of piety, or in expectation of a reward
in -the sweet by and by" but in 9
natural way where the finite soul emo
| tionally recognizes the wisdom or the
power to bless of the Oversoul. 1t il
the right relation for man and his
Creator, and the immediate benefits arr
to the man, not to the Creator. The
fruits of natural relation of this Kind
is through Consciousness of Divine
presence and power-the source OF
trust in Him and revelation of Him
which does not result from cold for
malities. The law and the man mus
be in accord and revelations follow
To be out of accord with any law and
to expect satisfactory results comes
pretty near being foolishness. We dc
too little from the heart, and toe
much for a purpose.
No one can tell who made the hot

year. Perhaps no one in particular
is to blame for tit may have grown

Now and then you see a woman COM

wearing a my company has gone

if it is her mother in law. An express
sion of pleasure or content will sit
on the conutenance at the most I'M
toward times-relief from extra work
and anxiety is bound to make us look
as glad as we feel If this look wasn't
so common it might be regarded as
cruel in its reflections which are not
readily interpretable. Every over
worked woman has il. and the more
intense it is in proportion to the trials
she has endured to afford pleasure for
others.
Man makes war on the flies and
mosquitoes as pestS-the enemies of
his race; but the fact is patent that
he could not live on the earth with
out their aid. The insects and birds
and other creatures have their work
to do-the stunt of keeping the earth
sweet and the atmosphere healthy.
The perfection and order of the helps
to cleanliness in nature is something
wonderful The interdependence of all
thiags is established by science. Ii
takes eight squadrons of insects to dis
pose of a dead carcass according to M.
Megnin. a French entomologist. Those
who read have all heard of the won

whose service the Egyptians recog-
nized and for which they made them
objects of worship, and wore them
as charms. These are the last squad

house flies or blow flies. The order
of decomposition attracts the flesh
seeking flies; the acid fermentation
calls beetles and butterflies; further
decay and the fly that breeds jump
ers in cheese gets in its work, also a
few beetles; later come other tribes
of flies and beetles, and the last state
before burial calls the beetles that dine
on the fur and the moths which feed
upon the ligaments. When these eight
orders of workers get through-the
carcass is gone. This is the order of

Among the happiest Of mortaIs is

damsel with her first beau. OF course,
everybody knows that love is uncon-

love. 1t is always pleasant to age 70
