This Woman Made Good.

When, in 1896, Don Carlos Marti-
nez, Marquis d'Yrujo, came to Amer
lea as Spanish minister, Washington
wrote of him:
He is a young man, very free and
easy in his manners, processes to be
well disposed toward the United
States, and as far as judgment can
be formed on so slight an acqualnt-
ance, appears to be well informed. !"
He married Sally Mexican, daughter
of the chief justice of Pennsylvania.
She was considered great beauty.
D'Yrujo was afterward conspicuous in
Spanish affairs, and his son, the Duke
of Sotomayer, born in Philadelphia,
became prime minister. Philadelphia
furnished wives for the ENJOYS of
France, England and Spain during
Washington's administration, and a
large number of foreign ministers
have since been marrned to American
women. Washington Star,

Rest in the Lord, and wait pa
tiently for Him.-Psalm 37:7.
We are hustling people. We are
always in a hurry, for time is money,
and to make time in the earnest en-
deavor in all our activities. These
conditions have brought our nation
into a state of restlessness and in
quietude which cannot be found so
pronounced in any other nation
Man was not built to endure such
continuous strain, and the conse-
quences of such unreasonable haste
and excitement are manifest in break
downs and nervous collapse. To
counteract these evil effects of our
business and social life those who
have the means will eventually go
into a retreat. in the absolute quie-
tude of which they will seek to regain
their exhausted energies.
The annual exodus into the country
Is nothing else but such a going into
a retreat. But what good is the most
quiet spot TO man who, like Thales
of old, carries with him all his trou-
bles, cares, anxieties and whose rest
less spirit is to him a source of con-
stant irritation and excitement?
King David in our psalm tells us OF
4 better retreat, saying. Rest in the
Lord, and wait patiently for Him."
Why was his soul so quiet and con-
tent? Because he had sought his
souls reconciliation with God and
had found It, THE wicked" says
Isaiah. ARE like the troubled sea
when it cannot rest" And St Au-
gustine, judging from his own painful
experience. says. The human soul Is
restless until it reposes in God"
Most people do not recognize that the
source of all their restlessness is their
own heart.
If we faithfully seek and find this
safe retreat in the grace of the recon-
ciled God then the cause of all our
restlessness will be removed and
there will be fulfilled what the Saw
lous says: Come unto Me. all ye
that labor and are heavy laden, and
will give you rest"
Has not God Himself recognized
the necessity of such a retreat by set
ting aside one day out of seven TO
give time and occasion for seeking
recreation for the body and rest for
the soul? Has not the church recog.
nized it by fixing the Lenten season.
which Is a retreat into the holiest
of holies. full of rest and blessing to
the soul? And does not the State
recognize II by eagerly watching over
a quiet Sunday as essential to the
welfare of the people?
Let us thank God that He has given
us this retreat. in which even the
poorest can partake. Let us rest in
the Lord and wait patiently for Him.

Growth in Grace.

You are not 10 measure your
growth in grace only, or chiefly, by
your advances in knowledge. or in
zeal, or any other passionate impress
sion of the mind; no, nor by the fer
vor of devotion alone; but by the
habitual determination of the will
for God, and by your prevailing dis
position to obey His commands, TO
submit to His disposal and to pro-
mote His cause in the world.
Too great a stress is commonly laid
on the flow of affections: and for
want of this, a Christian who Is rip
ened in grace, and greatly advanced
in his preparations for glory, may
sometimes be ready to lament imag-
mary rather than real decays, and to
say, without any Just foundation,
"Oh, that il were with me as in
months past" (Job 29:2.) There.

told. that religion consists mainly 10

To do this we are principally to at.
tend, looking in all to the simplicity
and purity of those motives from
which we act, which we know are

GOLDEN AGE.

Sweet is childhood How soon Ills o,eri
We kiss and part:
Then comes youth. the arrant rover.
How like the heart!
Succeed manhood, toll and duty,
And lurking cares:
Then hoary age. which is the beauty
In which God shares.
The child outgrows his drum and horn
His laughing eyes;
And youth succeeds to childhood's morn .
Yet oft he sighs;
And man plods on in patient toll,
Midst hopes and fears;
But age, content, eased of turmoil,
Sweet cadence hears.
AGE backward turns-sees visions gay,
And manhood blest;
Sees youth rush out into the fray
With eager zest:
And then the child with tangled curls
And cheeks of tan.
Again he sees. The dream unfurls
The Fathers plan.
So childhood youth and manhood meet
In golden age
And dreams of life are ofttimes sweet
As turns life's page:
Then toll and cares are passing feet,
For God is nigh
And sweet the sound Of angel feet
We hear go by.

Maid of Honor Shares Limelight.

The girl who Is to be to the bride
what the best man is to the groom is
usually timorous about her duties.
Her position is in the centre of the
lmelight with the bride and she is
worried about her duties and fears
that she will not perform all of them.
She does not seem to be quite sure of
what she has to do.
The fact is that the best man has
a great deal more to do than the best
girl. He has all kinds of business to
attend to, as he looks after most OF
the details of the groom. 1t is his
part to see that everything goes off
smoothly.
The maid of honor may devote her
time to practicing her solitary walk
down the aisle and seeing that her
gown and hat are as perfect as purse
and figure allow.
The bride is the manager on all
such occasions. Even if she never
took upon herself before the execu.
tive side of an affair she insists upon
running her own wedding.
The groom is usually willing to let
any one do everything for him. Not
SO the bride.

consulted on every detail is one rea-

Women Inventors.

We are told that, according to the
records, five hundred patents have
been taken out by women in England
in the last decade.
But we need not fear that our
English cousins will outdo us in this
field of endeavor. There Is scarcely
a page of the official list of patents
at Washington that does not record
some woman's success in this line.
And very often devices for machinery,
and the like, invented by women, are
not patented in their own name, but
are bought outright by the manu-
facturer.
Mrs. Mary Keys was the first wom-
an In our country to take out a
patent. She invented a process Of
weaving straw with silk or thread,
and the process was first put into
practice in 1909, one hundred years
ago 1t was only a few years later
that the present-day corset was in
vented, the patent being granted to
a woman. The globe for teaching
geography was patented by woman.
Many Improvements and attach
ments to machinery have been in
vented by women. The inventors are
usually employes-operatives or
clerks, In the establishments where
the machinery Is used. A woman
clerk in New York department store
recently invented parcel delivery
system. and secured the patent In her
own name. and the system is now
being used in the store where she was
employed. A Rhode Island woman
has the credit for inyenting both an
electric alarm clock, and an improved
fire escape device. Many of the med
zeal appliances used in hospitals are
the inventions of women nurses. A
patent was recently granted a woman
for letter-box. to be used on the out
side of houses, that shows a signal

used In some of our Eastern cities.

Feminine Fancies.

The henpecked man is under his
