the WIFE.
By BONNIE BURNHAM

She built a temple
In her dream of love,
And bowed before

The temple faded
To q human home,
The shrine
Became q cradle
That she rocked,
And all her love

Book Marking System.

Among the recent inventions Is a
very ingenious book-marking system
designed for use by teachers, students
and others who have occasion to read
from or consult different parts of a
book. The scheme consists of a
series of target-shaped cards of grad
uating width and Of sufficient length
to rest across the page and protrude
from the edges Of the leaves. The
extending end of this is marked with
figure, letter or other note suiting
the convenience of the one having
occasion to consult the hook. The
other end of the slip is fitted with a
rubber band, which is Of sufficient
proportions to fit around the volume
from top to bottom. The function
Of this is to hold the marker in place
and to permit of an arrangement OF
markers in such a way that one will
not overlap another and hide it from

Iron Fishing.

The bottoms of many Swedish
lakes are covered to a thickness OF
six or eight inches with fragments OF
iron ore of the size Of peas. This
lake ore consists chiefly Of ochre, or
hydrated oxide Of iron. mixed with
silicate and phosphate or iron, clay,
sand and other impurities, and is OBJ
tanned by very primitive methods.
In winter a hole is cut in the ice, a
scraper attached to a long pole is in
serted and all the ore within a
is collected into a heap beneath the
hole. Some Of the mud which has
been scraped together with the ore
is removed Jy stirring the mass with
poles and the ore is then scraped into
bags which have been sunk and IS
hauled up. In summer this curious
mining operation is conducted in a
similar n from RATS anchored
in the lake. Two miners can bring
I'D about four tons Of ore in a day.
Steam dredges have recently been in
stalled in a few places. About thirty
years after the removal Of the ore
a new layer of the same thickness is
found to have been produced by nat
ural chemical processes. London

What Christ Wants.

is there nothing that Christ. as
your friend, your Lord. your Saviour,
wants you to do that you are leaving
undone to-day? Do you doubt one in
slant that it is His will that you
should honor and help and bless all
the men about you who are His breth-
rem? And are you doing anything
like that? Do you doubt n instant
that His will is that you should make
life serious and lofty? Do you doubt
one instant that He wants you to be
pure in deed and word and thought?
And are you pure? Do you doubt one
instant that His command is for you
openly to own Him. and declare that
you are His servant before all the
world? And have you done it? These
are questions which make the whole
matter clear.
Not in quiet lanes nor in bright
temple courts. as once He spake, ana
not from blazing heavens as men
sometimes seem to expect - not so
does Christ speak to us. And yet He
speaks! I know what He-there in
all His glory-He here in my heart
wants me to do to-day, and l know
that I am not mistaken in my knoUl-
edge. It is. no guess of mine. 1t Is
His voice that tells me Phillips

Breeders Of the State of Missouri
seem, according to Bit and Spur, to
have a monopoly in the matter of fur

There is nothing SO eXactiag about
these horses that makes one section
OF the country superior to any for
their production, and the fact that
up to this time this State has fur
nished them is more Of a tribute to
the enterprise of Missouri breeders
than it is to any special advantage
possessed by that State for the pro-
duction of satisfactory horses for this
service.
These horses, which have acquired
an almost worldwide reputation. are
required to be bays, with black
names and tails, and to be about six

We think that a little dishonesty is a
definite thing that goes no further
than the act itself; that a person IS
guilty of a little theft, and that is all
it amounts to; that the sin is located
like a scratch or a pimple. But no;

They are a higher class horse than
the ones used in the cavalry service.
and yet such horses may be found in
all the horse breeding States. Intel
ligence and coed looks are more es-

than speed or high education as sad
die horses.
When it is considered that the fa-
nous mounted police squadron of
New York has been in existence less
than ten years and that it's efficiency
is recognized as being one Of the

that the people who are disturbed

Bar and Bottle Law.

The Boston Herald, after a thor
ough investigation, has decided on the
reason for the opposition of the
brewers of Massachusetts, to the new
"bar and bottle" law in that State
which goes into effect next year. The
law takes from the saloon the right
to sell bottled liquors. It leaves 10
the holder of the first class license
the. right only to sell liquors ito be
drunk on the premises" Its, purpose
is to prevent the workingman who;
has bought drinks in a saloon from:
buying in the same place-frequentlyl
bottled liquor to be taken away.
with which to continue his drinking
on the streets or in his home. THE
brewers" says the Herald, were the
interests apparently most Interested
In the defeat of the bill. Why should
a bar and bottle bill, whose purposes;
are as above described, co concern
gentlemen whose business is to brew
beer? Here is the answer: More
than eighty per cent. Of the retail
liquor traffic il the city Of Boston is
controlled in whole or'in part by the
local breweries and their business
associates"
