Piecina Out the Prayer.

or curious prayers writer says: Il
have heard a layman utter this petition
during the prayer: o, Lord, be thou
with us in our upsittings an our down
risings'-a variant OF the text in the
psalms. Thou knowest my downsit-
tings and mine uprisings.' A minister
occasionally introduced Latin SEN
tence into his prayer. and forthwith
proceeded to translate it. Another min
lister in his early days experienced con-
siderable difficulty with the long prayer
before the sermon. In noncOnformist
churches this usually occupies quar-
ter of an hour, but long before this pc
riod had been reached he was wound
up. On one occasion, while in this di-
lemma, he startled his hearers with the
words: And now. o Lord. / will re-
late unto thee little anecdote!"

There are on an average three week
At each state reception the guests
invited to the blue room, generally
about eighty in number. are enter
tained at supper at the close OF the re-

each.
The dinners of courtesy to visiting
foreigners and important government
officials depend largely upon the rank
of the visitor. The expense of all
these is borne by the president.
The presidents secretary has the
entire charge of the ONCE and the
clerical staff The chief usher keeps
close watch on the caretakers of the
entire first floor, no tourist visitors

The steward purchases all supplies

are cook, assistant cook, butler and
pantry men.
The laundry is charge of Uncie
Sam, likewise the furnishing and care
of the linen, china. silver and flowers.
President Roosevelt brought his
own riding horses from Sycamore Hill,
likewise his carriages. The service at
the White House is government ei-
pense and is sufficient for all practical
purposes. There are always personal
attendants for the family, who are
paid by the president.
The appropriation of $4,000 for
travelling expenses has been necessary,
since president cannot travel as
private citizen, alone or alone with
his family, but he must be accom-
panied by large retinue of secret
service men, his secretary, stem ::

Mrs. Meyer to Lead Cabinet Social Set

w ministers the most interesting
and influential phase of administration
life in Washington concerns the cabi-

The social leader OF the cabinet un-
dOubtedly will be Mrs Meyer She

in Washington are already established
as gathering places Of exclusive So

The years that Mrs. Meyer spent
abroad while her husband was am

gave her wide acquaintance in conti-
mental society. with the result that on
going to Washington two years ago
she welcomed In her home the diplo-

The Misses Julia and Alice Meyer

young women, whose society is sought

LIES AND UNTRUTHs.

With very few exceptions. all asser-
tions may be divided into two classes:
Lies and untruths. Lies are those as
sertions which the person making
them knows to be not SO and untruths
are those assertions which the person
making them does not know to be SO.
Lies help to smooth over the rough
places of life. Indeed, II 1t were not
for lies, lie would be almost unbear-
able. 1t would be unsociable 10 say
the least. II we had to confine our
selves strictly TO the truth, conversa-
ton would be limited to such plati-
tudes as two and two are four" 1.-The
square Of the hypothenuse is equal to
the sum of the squares of the other
two Sides" 1.-The earth is round" the
sun is on time today" and the like.
Whereas truth is limited, minutely
and painfully exclusive. one has not to
be at all particular about lies. They
may take any form and disport in any
garb.
A lie never has to be verified. Never
theless, 1t is just as well to bear in
mind that the art of lying requires a
certain degree of consistency, for lies
well-told and vigorously insisted upon
have been known to pass current as
truth for centuries. often to the annoy
ance and headlessness Of those who
tried to set things right.
The lie is human, to tell the truth
impossible.--EllisO o. Jones, in Life.

That Cuba is making substantial ma
terial advance is evident from some
figures given out from work which
the bureau of insular affairs of the war
department is preparing. 1t appears
that the island in 1907 had a popula-
tion Of 2.048.9S0. an increase of 30.3
per cent. since the last census, taken
under American supervision, in 1899.
But the most notable gain is in Cuba s
foreign trade. The value of the I'M.
ports into the island at the latest date
mentioned was $75,3O3, 900, or 29.3 per
cent. more than in 1899, while the ex-
ports were $114,S12. 900, or 131 per
cent. increase. Furthermore, the ex-

LESS MEAT
Advice Of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat nee
essary for strength and muscular
vigor.
The man who worked hard was sup
posed to require meat two or three
times a day. Science has found out
differently.
1t is now common thing for fam
lily physician to order less meat, as in,
the following letter from N. Y. man.
Il had suffered for years with dys-
pepsia and nervousness. My physician
advised me to eat less meat and
greasy foods generally. tried several
things to take the place of my usual
breakfast of chops, fried potatoes. ETC..
but got no relief until tried Grape
Nuts food.
After using Grape-Nuts for the
cereal part of my meals for two years,
I am now a well man. Grape-Nuts
benefited my health far more than the
$4,000 worth of medicine had taken
before.
my wife and children are healthier
than they had been for years, and we
are very happy family, largely due to
