NOVEL USE OF A BILLBOARD.

During recent run on a western
bank billboard was set up in the
street, where the line of depositors
were gathered, and its frank state
ment of the banks condition did
much to restore confidence. Many
people dropped out of line after read
ing the sign. which bore this legend:
This bank can pay every dollar on
deposit 1t is one of the strongest
banks on the Pacific coast. 1t has
been your friend. Jealous competi-
tors have worked to bring you here.
Every person in this line should show
their loyalty by leaving at once. Your
money is safe. Why, then, remain
here doing an unl1ind and foolish
thing? Break ranks" The run last
ed thirty-six hours, but the bank
stood the strain and remained SOL
vent. An enterprising merchant took
of the incident to secure a
novel advertisement for his store. 1t
happened that he was prepared to
move into the adjoining building and
the picture of the crowd before the
band had the appearance of heading
for his new quarters. A cut of this
picture was used for his announce
ment, the legend reading, Your
money is safe If you follow the crowd

AS You PASS TODAY.

When you meet a friend with bowed
down head,
Whose fears are present, whose hopes
are dead,
Speak kind word as you pass today,
You never again may pass that way.
A heart is heavy from hope deferred,
A heart which JOY has often stirred,
Sing a glad song as you pass today,
Yop never again may pass that way
The children come with laugh and
shout,
Glad of their freedom, from school let
out,
Give them smile as you pass. o man,
You never may pass that way again.
A life has sunk to the depths of sin,
Not ray of hope comes shining in.
Lit brother up. while yet you may

INTERESTING NCIDENTs.

The pagans' of East Indian villages
are. as rule, simple moral and re-
ligious minded. They cling to their
idolatry because they know no better
religion. They have never heard of
the redemption of mankind, and when
they are told the history of Our Lord
they express the greatest admiration.
How is it, they say. that no one
ever told us these things before now

NEEDLE DIST.

In factories where needles are made
the grindstones throw off great guam
titles of minute steel particles, with
which the air becomes heavily
charged, although the dust is too fine
to be perceptible to the eye. Breath
ing the dust shows no immediate eff
feet. but gradually sets up irritation,
usually ending in pulmonary con-
sumption.
Ineffective efforts were made to
screen the air by gauze or linen guards
for nose or mouth. At last the use
of the magnet was suggested, and now
masks of magnetized steel wire are
worn by workmen and effectually re-
move the metal dust before the air is
breathed

That illustrations always impress
