Growing Up Spiritually.

Nothing is born full grown. 1t
passes through a period of growth,
and it must grow or die.
The parent who is delighted with
the innocent helplessness of his child,
and ~rejoices at it's little efforts at
speech, becomes seriously alarmed if
this lisping, lettering, he~lp-requiring
state threatens to become permanent:
would that the cessation of growth
in the spiritual life created as much
dismay! Would that it seemed as
monstrous, as unnatural to have our
spiritual as our natural growth
checked!
1t would te a startling revelation
to all of US were the discernment of
our spiritual condition as keen and
true as our vision of the body. What
do you honestly believe that you
would see yourself to be? Have you
spiritually made the growth due to
the time that you have been a Chris
tian, or are you conscious that you
are still a weak child? Have we
grown up to maturity? Are we grow
ing to maturity? Have we grown be-
yond our associates; or are we on
scious that many others stand head
and shoulders above us?
Physically we one needed to be
lifted, if we were to see or touch or
be on the level of certain things; we
should be Inundated were it so still.
Is it so spiritually? Do we find our
selves face to face with things which
once lowered above us and seemed
unattainable? Can we stand alone
now? Are we men in understanding,
able for ourselves a strength sufficient
for all needs of life, truly sons : of
God who have entered into the full
liberty of strength that God means
His sons to have?
Being born again is a great thing,
but 1t is not everything. The grow
ing after birth to maturity is much
more the end for which birth is alone
desirable and valuable. - Marcus
Dods, D. D.

A COOL
And a Sure One.
The Body Does Not Feel Heat
Unpleasantly If 1t has
Proper Food
Grape=Nuts

People can live in a temperature
which feels from ten to twenty degrees
cooler than their neighbors enjoy, by
regulating the diet.
The plan is to avoid meat entirely for
breakfast; use a goodly allowance of
fruit, either fresh or cooked. Then fol-
low with a saucer containing about four
heaping t~easpoonfuls of Grape-Nuts,
treated with a little rich cream. Add to
this about two slices of crisp toast with
a meager amount of butter, and one
cup of wellmade Postum.
By this selection of food the bodily
energy is preserved, while the hot, car
b%onaceous foods have been left out.
The result is a very marked difference
in the temperature of the body, and
to this comfortable condition is added
the certainty of ease and perfect diges-
ton, for the food being partially pre-
digested is quickly assimilated by the
digestive machinery.
Experience and experiment In food,
and it's application to the human body
has brought out these facts. They
can be made S of and add materially
to the comfort of the user.

Carries Little RuSe.

We were chatting in the smoking
room of the Pullman few of us
men-when Carrie Nation made her
appearance at the door and delivered
a TRADE against tobacco.
1--WE listened patiently, and when
she was through, we asked her if she
wouldn't join us in a smoke. She de-
clined the cigar, but became one of
us and soon was talking in as lively
and sociable a manner as any of us.
She seemed to have quite forgotten
her disgust for the cigar, for she sat
wreathed in blue rings of smoke"
Maybe Carrie was lonely" sug-
gested a thoughtful young person,
land that was her little ruse to get
companionship."
Maybe" replied the teller of the
story.-New York Times.

Hands, the doctors tell us, are re-

Illustrated in Bakeoven. In early days
a Frenchman started from The Dalles,
which takes it's name from the 'dalles'
or falls in the Columbia River, with a
cargo of flour for the mines at Canon
City, another town named from its To-
cation. The first night he went into
camp a band of Indians came along
and drove off his mules. Unable to
move his -four, he gathered some
rocks, built an over II baked his
flour into bread. The bread was sold
to passing miners and travellers along
the trail at a greater profit than he
would otherwise have received. AS a
result of this occurrence the town
which now stands on the site of the
Frenchman's camp is named Bake
oven. Residents point out the black
ened rocks which were a part of the
original.
similar in origin are Haystack,
Tanks, Echo, Box and Apiary. Hay
stack was named for the only thing
standing on the ground when the
postofice was established, and Tanks
is a station on the railroad in Umatil-
la County where the watering tanks
of that division are situated ."-Wash-

Nightingales From China.

An interesting attempt to acclima-
tie the Chinese nightingale in Vienna
was made last week, writes our cor
respondent, when thirty of the pretty
green birds were set at liberty in the
city park, where it is hoped they will
take up their abode.
At the end of the week the park
keeper counted twelve of them still
in the neighborhood of the tree where
they had been liberated. TIL remain
der apparently are exploring Vienna.
Reports of their visits have been re-
ceived from several public gardens.
If the birds stand the variations of the
Viennese climate and agree to live in
the parks a large number are to be
imported.-London Daily Mail.

Willy, having no record of the guam

to give every mourner as much as h
wished, with the result that the fu-
neral procession, having to traverse
ten miles to the churchyard on a
short November day, arrived only at
nightfall.
Then it was discovered that the
mourners, hating at a wayside inn.
had rested the coffin on a dyke and
left it there when they resumed their
journey. The corpse was a day late
in arriving at the grave.

ROUGH STRAWS.

For morning or afternoon hats
there Is a decided tendency toward
the rough straws. There is some
thing youthful in the appearance,
and with this pleasing element goes
a sufficiently ornamental character
that needs little trimming. A shape
of coarse straw, turned up at the side
and held there by a straw scarab,
dyed to approach the irridescence OF
the beetle, is certainly an easy and
becoming selection for the spring.
Then, again, the large fiat shape of
rough straw is an excellent back
ground for a wreath of field flowers
or a bunch of roses. The rough
straws are more durable and retain
their shape more successfully than
the finer weaves They appear in all
of the spring shades and shapes, and
are willing to meet any reasonable
demands.-Baltimore Star.
