SERMoNETTES.

Star preaching is apt to mean night
in the church.
A serene life always has storms in
it's past curriculum.
1t is well to watch the virtues that
employ press agents.
The man with a putty backbone
usually borrows a pious front.
Men are never greatly moved by
those truths they fully comprehend.
Many lives would be a good deal
sweeter If they were not quite so sug-
airy.
Folk who are overanxious to live on
velvet commonly wind up on the car
pet.
1t may be the i'll we are lodging is
the cure for the greater Ill we de-
sire
Men are to be judged by where they
are going rather than by whence they
came.
No man is as good as he might be
can be.
More are lame from kicking than
from corns acquired in walking the
narrow way.
You can tell a mans courage, not by
the measure Of his fear, but by the
fight he puts up.
There's some moral disease present
when the sight of another's happiness
gives us pain.
The best way to honor the dead
prophets is to make straight paths for
the living people.
The apparent power of death to sep
arate is the strongest bond that binds
the living together.
Too many think they have fed the
hungry when they have told them how
to make an omelette.
When people are hungry for the liv-
ing bread it's folly feeding them lee
lures on agriculture.
Some people have way Of praying
for peace that only prods their neigh
bors into open hostility.
It's usually the man who has learned
how hard it is to begin to think who
denounces intellectually.
1t is often worth while to do an ap-
parently fruitless act for the sake Of
acquiring helpful habit.
When you find man generous with
black paint for others you may be sure
he has whitewash for himself.

sion. NJ. Felix often created" at a
sacrifice, for the pure love Of art.
Paris has always been the principal
creative center of dramatic art; the
success of a new piece is often depend
ent on the elegant costumes Of the star
actresses. Wherever the latter have
toured they have left In their trail the
latest conceptions of fashion, exciting
the envy and desires Of their foreign
sisters. Again, French novelists never
tire Of praising the beauty, elegance
and perfect taste in dress Of the wom-
en- Of Paris. Imperceptibly cosmopoli-
tan women have imbibed the notion
that outside of Paris there is no saliva
ton for the smart woman who yearns
to incarnate the latest ideal Of the
mode.

The Federal Statutes Revised.

In the closing hours of the Sixtieth
Congress there was completed a work
of great Importance, the preparatory
steps to which had been progressing for
many years-the revision of the federal
statutes.
The volume of Federal Revised Stat
utes now in use bears date of 1873. Since
then a new generation of Americans
has arisen. There are men sitting in
Congress who were born later than
1873. A vast body of legislation has
been enacted much of it covering SUBJ
jects which had not attracted the at
tention of lawmakers at that time. To
discover what was the law it has been

The prohibition crusade has swept
forward to such an extent that in
more than two-thirds of the territory
Of the United States the saloon has
been abolished. Idaho, one Of the few
States which had withstood the move
ment. has now fallen into line. In
Tennessee q drastic act was enacted,
and under it the manufacture or sale
Of liquor in any form will be a mis-
demeanor. In the State Of Washing
ton a Governor and a majority Of the
members Of the Legislature pledged to
local option were recently elected. An
overwhelming majority Of the Legis-
lature in Texas on platform declar-
ing for the submission Of prohibit
tory amendment means, according to
the Prohibit1onists, that Texas will
soon probably become ''dry."
Under the provisions Of a recently
enacted local option law thirteen coun-
ties in Oregon closed out the saloons
There are now 81 counties In Oregon
in which liquor Is prohibited. The
elections since year ago in Colorado
have been bad for the saloon inter
ests. Forty-two municipalities have
ousted the saloons. There are now
40 cities and towns in California
where the saloon is not allowed to ex-
list. In Ohio 81 out Of sc counties
have voted the salon out Of business.
Under the provisions Of the Moore re-
monstrance law Of Indiana 720 saloons
have been abolished within the last
year. Prohibitionists also hope to
soon turn Arkansas into an absolute
prohibition area. In Iowa 461 saloons
have been put out Of business recently,
leaving only Lilo in the entire State.
Twenty-Five of South Cardinals AZ
countries have voted for prohibition
since November under the county op-
ton law. During the last year 305
saloons and 2 breweries have been
forced to go out of business in Michi-

The decision of the select committee
of the board of estimates of New York
city in regard to the proposed limitation
of the height of ''skyscrapers' is COM
promise that is said to foreshadow the
adoption of the Flagg proposition that
buildings be erected in receding stages,
so that light will be insured for the up
per stories and for the streets. "Sky-
scrapers' constructed in this way would
afford more room for architectural beau
tifcation. and the skylines of cities like
New York would be succession of
pyramidal towers.

DoN'Ts FOR CHURCHMEN.

Don't forget that habit is your
heaven or your ne'l.
Don't fail to keep faith if you would
keep friends.
Don't expect to travel far by stand
ing on your dignity.
Don't fail to remember that the
heartless are spiritually homeless.
Don't live for business alone if you
would make a business of life.
Don't lose sight of simple patience
as the greatest AMI sublimest power.
Don't try to make UP for lack Of
definite goal by an excess of speed.
Don't let money talk if you would
avoid hearing eventually the accent of
a fool.
Don't block the windows of your
heart with dirt lest the divine light
fail to shine in.

REASON WHY PARIS LEADS.

French Capital Center Of Fashions
and Dramatic Art for Centuries.
"Why has Paris always reigned su-
preme in the domain Of Fashions" This
is a question which many people must
have often asked themselves. For cen
turies the women of Paris have been a
dominant factor in this supremacy. En-
couraged by them, the fashion artists
have f1ourished in the peculiar atmos-
phere of that city. Constant contact

Though King Alfonso of Spain kept
his promise to his queen not to go up in
an airship, he is as reckless an AUTO
mobilist as ever. A few days ago, at
Villamanrique, his machine skidded and
ran into a tree The collision was lucky,
for it saved the automobile and its oc-
cupants from plunging into deep IA.

was injured. The incident demonstrates
that Alfonso can find perils enough with
out trying to navigate the air.

Thirteen was not an unlucky number
for Edward S. Conover of Atlantic City.
He thought it was. and his friends raj
lied him on his superstition. But their
jibes spurred him into eating thirteen
oysters at helping and when he came
to the thirteenth he found pearl valued
at $500. The experience cured him. He
evidently has no fear of the conse
quences of assuming full responsibility
for his gustatory achievement, for he
refuses to divide the money derived from
the sale of the pearl.

Of the movement for the improvement
of life on the farms which was started
by President Roosevelt there are many
opinions. Certainly one idea which the
movement brought into prominence
should not be permitted to subside until
it has produced substantial results, and
that is the idea that an important factor
in the success of the farmer is the farm
ers wife, and that no American farmer
should rest contented till he has lifted
the routine of his wife above the level
of drudgery.
