WHAT ABOUT our
SUNDAY SCHOOL,

Solomon says, In Prov. 22:s "Trair
up child in the way be should go. and
whom he is old he will not depart from
it." This prophecy may fail in few
instances but in most cases right train
ing counts for good, In the future life Of
the child.
Our Sunday School stands for the
Right and tries hard to train the child.
rem to do right things. But we need
help Of every father and mother in the
entire community in our efforts to teach
their children what the Right is.
How often do we hear parents say, in
substance, well, my boy or my girl
isn't interested in Sunday School, my
child doesn't like Mrs. E. for q teacher
and he won't 60 unless he can be In Mrs
Gs class.
Ny dear parent, how much have you
ever done to make him enjoy Sunday
SCHOOL, How often have you studied
the lesson over with him, or done any
thing that would help him to like Mrs.
E for teacheri
r How many parents Of this community
say to their children on Sunday morning,
Come children let us get ready and go
to Sunday School. thus setting good
example for the child. Are you fond
parent interested enough in your child
to go with him to Sunday SCHOOL, Per-
haps you say that you are too old. or too
tired to 60 to church or Sunday School.
Do you ever wonder IL Mrs. E. or Mrs.
g. ever gets too old or too tired to stay
awayf No they are always there, duty
calls them. And why are they there'
Because they want their children. and
your children and everybody's children
to learn how to live right lives. good
lives. and useful lives. And while the
few faithful ones are praying for your
child. and wishing he might be there.
and wondering why he Is not; you are
quite likely at home critizing the Sum
day School and saying that you don't
see why it doesn't do more for the chill
dren. Why bless your poor starved
heart and soul: Why don't you do more
ycarself and have less time and inclina.
ts6n to find faults
- And In tha meantime where II. your
boy. on Sunday morninga BE may be
at any one Of dozen places where he
ought not To be. He may be ganging
around the saloon learning to drink and
smoke and swear. he may be in some
back alley listening to rbald songs or
stories. He may be at ball game OF
of fishing or hunting. Wherever he
may be he is not in Sunday School, and
whose fault is its
Don't blame the Sunday School, nor
mean Johnny Jones, who is always
coaxing your boy into Mishief. Go to
your Bible and read II Sc. 1877, and you
will find the words Of Nathan, the pro-
phet. to David: Thou art the man..
Just think them over carefully.
Next Sunday is Rally Day. Come out
and help make our Sunday School bigger
and better.
Yours in the interests of your Children,

The Foroiyino VIE.
From the New York Am

vi A 80 4NSW 41N1 LF EMM.
/ know a woman who has just come
home from q long visit to Europe.
She didtit go on the visit for pleas
ure; her young daughter was Ill and
she took her daughter abroad to save
her life.
abroad h noticed something peculiar
about the way her friends greeted her.
They seemed to be sorry for her some
way, though none Of them said my
thing in so many words.
One day my friend found out what
1t was that made them sorry.
Her husband had had a foolish little
affair with a foolish little and
there had been a little scandal about
it.
Ny friend loves her husband and he
loves her. So she went to him and
said: Dear, you are worried; you
are In trouble; you think I'm going to
find something out and be angry with
you. 49,.
II have found It out and 1 am not
angry with you. I am sorry for you.
! want you to know that / am not only
your wife, l am the best friend, the
most loyal, the most unselfish and the
truest friend you have in the world. I
will stand by you through this thing.
I know that you have not been really
faithless to me; you have just been
foolish; you are heartsick Owe the
whole thing now; so am I. Come, let's
be heartsick together"
And the husband Of my friend looked
at her as IL he heard some one speak
ing from an open grave, and he told
his wife the whole truth, the foolish,
silly, miserable truth, and she talked
1t all over with him n comforted him
and encouraged hin n laughed at
him and leased him, and together they
faced the whole thing through-and
from his wife with any siren who ever
sang, or any Salome who ever dreamed
a dream OF dancing.
I wonder IL 1t wasn't worth while?

A Black Hand Trust?

Deputy Police Commissioner Woods, Of
New York, in the May McClure's.
The Black Hand Is not a cohesive.
comprehensive society, working with
mysterious signs and passwords, Given
a number OF Italians with money, and
W o or three ex~-convicts, you have all
the elements necessary for a first rate
Black Hand campaign. In New York
city, however, there are so many groups
of these Black Handlers that they have
come In more or less close contact with
each other. Investigation seems to
show that the leaders, at any rate, OF
the different groups are acquainted,
and that they work their schemes In
harmony, especially when their extor-
ton takes the form of commercial
swindling. In other words, the situa-
ton seems ripe for the creation in the
city of m fairly powerful organized
society, A little. police laxity, coupled
with the appearance of a leader Of mag
netism and force, would very likely
bring about the formation of a Black
Hand trust.

The late Professor Rowland, OF

Of gratings in spectrum analysis, for
which purpose he devised a machine
that could cut 10000 lines to the inch
on a plate of polished metal. In the
practical application of his knowledge,
he was noted as the inventor Of the

Queer GARDENING.
From the Louisville Times

From the Louisville Times.
Secretary Wilson, Of the department Of
agriculture, said the other day of a GER
tain farmer:
Fl Is now profting by the departments
advice, but he was very stupid at the be-
ginning. He farmed as a Philadelphia
lady. one spring season. planted her gar
den.
THE lady's husband came home and
found her porting over a seed catalog. She
had a long list OF seeds written on a sheet
Of paper.
This is a list, my dear she said, that
4 want o to buy for me tomorrow at the
seed mans
Her husband looked at the list. Then
no laughed loud and long.
"'You want these flowers to bloom this
summer, don't your said he.
Yes, OF course
"'Well, those you have put down here
don bloom till the second summer

SWEETS FOR AFTERNOON TEA
Russian Shortcake and Cassava Waters
From the West Indies.

From the New York Times.
A young woman who has been to
Russia has introduced on her tea table
a little cake that is popular among her
friends.
A rich puff paste is divided into tour
parts, each rolled as thin as possible.
On n sheet is put an almond paste,
on another pounded peanuts or
pistache nuts, on a trird currant jelly
or orange marmalade. The layers are
placed IN each other, honey or maple
syrup Is poured over, and the whole
baked In q moderate owe until a dell
cate brown.
When cold the crust is cut in squares
or diamonds and passed on a plate COW
cred with a lace dolly.
Another delicacy FOR afternoon tea is
the crisp cassava wafer used so much
served cold. but Is better If buttered,
and made very hot in the oven.
Rich little crullers or doughnuts,
made not more than two inches long
and busted thickly with powdered
sugar, are a pleasant change from the
usual small cake passed with after
noon tea.
A nice and inexpensive sandwich fill
ing is cold chicken or lamb, put
through a chopper, highly seasoned
with salt and pepper and mixed to a
smooth paste with rich cream. This
is not so rich as mayonnaise, which is
usually employed In sandwiches.
Bars of brown bread slightly toasted,
buttered and covered with sardine
paste made by shredding sardines and
mixing with lemon juice are a nice
change from sandwiches.

are thirty-two feet of human bowels,
which is really a sewer pipe. When this
pipe becomes clogged. the whole system
becomes poisoned, causing, biIiousness, in.

The interior Of the Earth.
From the New York World.

The University OF Jena has just
awarded the prize for the best essay on
the condition of the interior Of the
earth. M. Theme, who won the Univer-
sity OF Jena's prize. did it with the
following theory:
The mean density Of the earth Is
known to be more thar five times that
Of water. AS the outer layers OF the
crust nave a very feeble d~ensity-wa-
ter, L; rocks, an average of 2h-it fol-
lows that the interior must have a den
sity of about ITO, which is hat of
iron. Again, there Is enough accurate
information about the rigidity OF the
earth to make it fairly certain that this
is slightly greater than steel. M. Theme
calculates that the crust of the earth
is about $50 miles thick, though most of
the best authorities are inclined to place
1t at about 80 miles. If his figures be
correct, there must be inside the crust
an exceedingly dense and rigid core,
which he calls barysphere.

The Industrious Negroes Of Africa.

The blacks Of tropical Africa are
proving their willingness to work hard
for the whites along the lines of the
new civilization which has been intro
duced in the Dark continent. The ne
gro planters Of German East Africa are
raising more products for export than
the white planters. In 1903 the native
planters of Southern Nigeria shipped to
Europe and South America 800 bales
Of cotton; in 1905 their cotton exports
rose to 5000 bales and If the season
of 1909 fulfills its promise the export
crop Will be well-nigh so, 900 bales. The
