Smoking For French Youth.

country a child is not allowed to
smoke cigarettes but may consume
chocolate limitations to its hearts

punishment, and a lady in Paris has
recently been fined for this offense.
It appears that an article of the

the sale Of spurious tobacco. and was
intended to prevent competition with
the State monopoly.-London Globe.

Where Victory Must Be Won.

One of the chief dangers of life Is
trusting occasions. We think that
conspicuous events, striking expert
ences, exalted moments have most to
do with our character and capacity.
We are wrong. Common days, mo-
notonous hours, wearisome paths.
plain old tools, and everyday clothes
tell the real story.
Good habits are not made on birth
days, nor Christian character at the
new year. The vision may dawn, the
dream may waken, the heart may leap
with a new inspiration on some noun
tain top, but the test, the triumph,
is at the foot of the mountain, on the
level plain.-Maltbie D. Bajcock.

A LAY TO THE HEN.

I sing the hen, that noble bird
With shiny yellow legs,
Who, when she feeleth so disposed
Supplieth US with eggs; 49,.
Whose gentle, soothing "Cutter-quaw:'
Cheers up our spirits some,
Since we're reminded by the sound
That gentle spring mas come.
I sing the hen! The Plymouth Rock,
Rhode Island or Shanghai,
Or any other brand men think
The only kind to buy.
Long may she "Cut-ca-dah-cut!!"
In the good old-fashioned way,
And may this little lay to her
Inspire her to lay.

P UP TO A T

The ~coatless man puts a careless arm
Round the waist of the hatless girl.
While over the dustless, mudless roads
In a horseless wagon they whirl
Like a ieadless bullet from hammerless gun
By smokeless powder driven,
They fly to taste the speechless joys
By endless union given.
The only luncheon his ~coinless purse
Affords to them the means
Is a tasteless meal of bonelrs cod,
With a dish of stringless beans.
He smokes his old tobaccoless pipe
And laughs a mirthless laugh
When papa tries to coax her back
By wireless telegraph.

From the Writings of Great
Preachers.
WHAT Is PRAYER?

Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear, :
The upward glancing Of an eye,
When none but God is near.
Prayer is the simplest form Of speech
That infant lips can try;
Prayer the sublimest strairs-that reach
The Majesty IN high.
Prayer is the ~contrite sinners voice
Returning from his ways;
While angels in their songs rejoice,
And cry, "behold, he prays!"
Prayer is the Christians vital breath,
The Christians native air,
His watchword at the gates Of death;
He enters Heaven with prayer.
o Thou by whom we come to God,
The Life, the Truth, the Way!
The path of prayer Thyself hast trod;
Lord! teach US how to pray.

BATTLE AGAINST RUM.
A Story Of Profit and Loss.

How the enforcement OF prohibit
ton ruins business will be appre-
ciated by business men who will rec
ognize its practical workings in the
following bit Of commercial history:
Prior to the prohibition enactment
Walruff's brewery in Lawrence, Kan,
vas a prosperous business, employing
about ten men, besides the proprietor.
Suppose the average wage of brewery
employees Is $12 per week, the ten
men would earn a total of $3.50 per
week to be expended in groceries,
dry goods, shoes, boots, rent, books,
music and other commodities.
On the adoption Of prohibition the
brewery closed. The employees were
thrown out of work, and the dealers
were the losers of their trade. at least
until such time as new positions could
be secured by them. The brewer sold
his property, and, very probably,
moved away, taking his capital with
him, to find some more congenial
CLINE for the prosecution Of his en-
terprise. The commercial loss sus-
tanned was:
Loss of wages, s12o per week.
The loss of capital, say, $4,000.
The loss Of a leading industry, and
It's head.
The loss of money flowing into the
town as a result of that industry.
The brewer sold his plant-build-
lngs, engines, ground-to a shoe and
ooot manufacturer. The factory gave
employment to over 100 men. Sup

operatives Is SO per week. The week
