With life's best blessings, pray,
For lad or lassie, man or maid,
Who celebrates to-day.
If there be tears In any. eyes,
Or griefs that stir the soul.
Place DER them thy most smiling skie
Aud ease the pangs Of dole.
II there be cares that vex the mind,
Or troubles in the heart,

And bid all woe depart.
Upon q bitter past the gates

The golden door to the estates

The trouble with a great many people
is that they want to have their religion
on the life-insurance plan. By paying
a small premium every now and then
In the way Of church attendance they
hope to secure at death large amount
Of religion, but do not want 1t delivered
before them. But religion is an
interest for this world as well as for the
next, and those who make light of II
now will not he apt to have much of it
then. Now ia the time to be religious,
and 10 also to be happy. John Wesley
once said that many think of being
happy with God in heaven, but the
being happy with God on earth never
enters their thoughts. We must first
have God with us here, II we are finally
to be with God there.

When carpets become worn and
must be renewed. It Is q good time to
change toa bare floor and A-few rugs.
The finishing Of the floor Is q very
simple matter. 1t may be painted,
stained, oiled or wsxed. In any case
II should he cleaned thoroughly, all
stains removed aud given q coat OF
tiller. II the floor was made for a
carpet there will probably be cracks
which will need filling. Putty colored
like the wood is very satisfactory for
this. II the boards are kpotty, they
should be painted. Otherwise atrans-
parent finish may be used. Stains
made by paint or varnish are easily re-
moved with ammonia, but II should be
put on with q brush. The whole floor
may be cleaned In this way. The am
inonia darkens the wood somewhat.
Merely oillng with crude oil, linseed or
kerosene gives good finish, provided
= very small quantity is used and that
1t h thoroughly rubbed In and no super
fi0ous oil IL left on the floor.

Quench Not the Spirit.

Harper's Weekly, after discussing
the programs of revolutionary social
lists, single-taxers, philanthropists, and
saints, for the reconstruction and sal
vation of society, says: "At the Con-
gress of Religions, many years ago. a
woman gave her notebook to Budd-
hist priest and asked him to write in It
the deepest truth of his religion.
When the book came back, after three
days, 1t contained this profound sug-
gestion: "Be good; do good; think
good" How far short of the Christian
counsel does this Buddhist precept
come! Its most conspicuous lack is
that direct energizing Of the Holy
Spirit Of God that we are graciously
permitted to ask for and expect. Who
believes that Buddhism will save the
world ? Who believes that anything
outside tie Christianity that Paul
preached ever will or can do IT.? And
what, Is the strength and the life Of bis
counsel? The power Of the Holy
Spirit A man whose life was spent
In New Brunswick tells of river which

battle begins between the river, drawn
downward by the force of gravitation,

force. AT length the tide proves to be
the stronger, and gradually the fresh

Water brings alkali to the surface
wherever irrigation is practiced and
water will take It out. There are two
kinds Of alkali-the sulphate of sodium
and the carbonate of sodium. The
first Is called white alkali and ,the
second black alkali. The latter is much
more difficult to wash out than the
white kind. The first step will be to
treat the soil with gypsum which being
the sulphate Of calcium or lime will
change the soda In the soil to sulphate
aud then It can he washed out. After
trees are once well established there is
not likely to be any trouble from alkali,

BANK OF ENGLAND
DlSCOURAGlNe SPECULATION
This Believed Real Cause for Raise
In Discount Rate that Mys-
titled FinRnciers.

PARIS, oct 2s.--Freneh banking circles
here consider II unlikely that the Bank OF
France will be called upon to come to
the relief of the International money
market
According TO the view here, conditions
are not alarming The action OF the Bank
OF England in raising it's discount rate
to per cent is believed here to have a
two-fold object, the first to discourage
inordinate speculation in America and the
second TO enable the English banks TO
reap profits from loans and exchange.
II Is explained that the English banks
have not been making money recently,
the Bank of England helping them out.
The Bank OF France now holds the
largest stock OF gold in It's history. and
this is ample 10 warrant the statement
that Il Is ready and indeed anxious 10
loan gold 10 the Bank OF England on the
same conditions as In lsee
