This is TIE lesson OF the skies. Les

Golden Text: Take heed that We
do not your aims before men to be
seen of them" Matt. 6: I. The revi-
sion instead of ''alms' says righteous

In the list lesson we had the laws

duct in the Kingdom. How shall we
live from day to day.

Gems OF the Kin. dom are to be right

English translators OF long ago
thought to do righteousness was to
give aims, and we think giving aims
means handing Out nickel to beg

Jesus used the word translated ''alms" /.

Nss. 2-3 answer this question. VS..
says, go not let the world know it. -
vs. 3 says, do not let yourself know
it
Give is the rule for conduct. The
giving is to be your own. There is to
be no noise made about it, You are
not to take account OF it yourself
How much shall man give? That is
of no concern to any one. 1t is your
own matter. And ii you so give that
you do not know what you give, it will
never be in the newspapers.
Reward We want rewards, OF
course God means we shall have
them. But leave that to him. He sees
in secret. You can hide nothing from
him. The reward may be only in salts
faction No matter. The servant in
the Kingdom is to do the service OF
the Kingdom, and trust the King.

The waist itself is cut with back por-

closing is made invisibly at the back.
The little frill or tucker is arranged
over the lining. The full sleeves con-

these foundations are the same as

he let drive with that 1et-and &C
tually he could reach a hundred feet
with it. In three minutes we all took
to flight out of range.
And then he danced a war-dance
and shouted and whooped and cut
great circles high over the mill with
that jet.
Policy, all dripping, came round
where I stood behind a tree. Hes
crazy as a coot!" said Policy. What
are we going to do with him."
But suddenly Uncle Jarve stopped.
"All right" he cried to us. 1.-The
fun's over. Come in out Of the wet"
We ventured back, all pretty angry,
especially Policy. Uncle Jarve had
shut the gate, stopped the power,
and was coiling up the hose.
Sorry, Chucks,. that I had to wet
you down." he remarked. "But !
couldn't seem to beat this thing into
your thick heads any other way. You
understand it now.
Besides" said Uncle Jarve, throw
ing back his head and fitting up that
long nose of his, Il had to let off
steam a bit! 1t was the high Joy OF
invention. You don't know anything
about that, Chucks, and you never
will; so go dry yourselves, and thank
your old uncle for giving you COM
plete fire protection at your mill
here"
std like to thank you by playing
that nozzle down your back!"' ex-
claimed Policy.
"Ungrateful Chuck" said Uncle
Jarve. "A pint of brains! Only a
pint Of brains!"
We would all have enjoyed thrash
ing him; but Uncle Jarve was then
nearly twenty-five years old, and an
athletic fellow when not too lazy to
display his strength.
He came in to supper with us, and
after doing ample justice to the fare,
remarked that he feared he would
have to take leave of us that evening.
Policy snorted relief.
you see," Uncle Jarve explained,
I'm going to get up another Of these
water-dragons. 1t is the greatest
thing Of the kind ever invented. I'm
going out with one, to take orders,
and T need a little ready money. So
I shall have to trouble you for twenty
five dollars for this one"
"You just let US know when you
get it," shouted Policy, so angry that
he sprang up from his chair and
doubled his fists.
Uncle Jarve regarded him re-
flectively and shook his head. only
a pint Of brains!" he sighed, with
great apparent sadness.
Uncle Jarve went away. but
throughout August and September he
came round regularly about once a
week and dunned US for that money.

Policy burst out with something or
other in reply, but Uncle Jarpe cut
it short. "Oh, drop that" said he,
land come along out to the mill;
want to show you the finest thing
you ever saw"
We went out with him, and our
three hired men, who e also very
curious, followed us.
Uncle Jarve looked perfectly happy.
Now, Chuck" said he, I've given
you a dead-sure thing in the way of
protecting your mill from fire. It's
fully equal to a steam ire-engine;
and it is so inexpensive and cheap
than anybody can have one."
We smelled a rat, so to speak, and
said nothing.
"You see that oil-barrel," Uncle
Jarve continued. THAT cost one dol
lar. You see these circular iron disks
on the heads and that rod and the
wire on the barrel. Well, they cost
a dollar and eighty-fve cents. You
see that little force-pump, too; that
was five dollars fifty. The hose, noz-
zle, wire and pet-cock were six seven
ty-lve; and those bits Of old iron
piping cost sixty cents more. Fifteen
dollars and seventy cents, all told.
That's all it actually cost; but I ex-
pect to get twenty-five dollars for
the rig, as it stands. The nine thirty
over the cost is my profit for the
patent"
Uncle Jarve looked at US as If ex-
pecting appreciation or applause. But
we said nothing.

July J., seven hundred diamonds have
been found in Arkansas. Three cut
stones were found to be brilliant, and
were valued at $50 to SITS a carat

from the mine will be easily worth
$40 a carat. Cheap mining in Ar.

"Twenty-one," said I, for I was

now, and waxed enthusiastic. He
charged the pump with a quart or so
of water, and then pumped the barrel

said he. Nov yell 'Fire!' and time

This time Uncle Jarve had the gate
hoisted, the pump in motion, and the
nozzle in his hands, with a smart
! stream of water flying from it across
the mill in eighteen seconds!
AS the pump went on, rapidly con-
densing the air and water in the bar
! rel, the jet rom the nozzle gained
, strength, till it was projected with
| great force on all sides, clear out
doors and high in the air; for it had
the full force of the water-power be-
hind it.
"Hurran!" Uncle Jarve shouted,
cutting circles with the whizzing jet.

! millions every year! What is twen-

We knew what he was about, he
turned that jet on US.
The first Gouche from it nearly took
me off my feet. Policy tried to dodge,
but Uncle Jarve caught him with it,
; and drenched him to the skin.

door, Uncle Jarve caught me again
with it and lifted me clear over a

Policy was crying, Stop! Stop it,"
But it was Of no use to tell Uncle
Jarve to stop-he was having too
. much fun! He caught Policy fiat in

over, soaked him and nearly drowned
him before ne could crawl out ct the

tomobiles. The letter follows:
I'm accordance with a letter re-
ceived from the National Highways
Protective Society, 1 desire you to
bring to the attention of all pupils in
your school the Importance of their
exercising great care when on the
streets, so as to avoid the danger OF
being run down by automobiles, etc.
"It is a common practice for chill
dren to attach themselves to moving
vehicles, wagons and carts, and then
Jump off suddenly, thereby mourning
serious risks. They also frequently
dart out from behind piles of brick,
lumber, etc., on the streets and high
ways, and not infrequently try to see
how close they can escape being run
over by a motor vehicle. Many driv-
ers of automobiles run their machines
in a most reckless manner, and the
danger to the people Of the streets,
especially to children, is very great.
II think that a few words from you
to your pupils cannot fail to have a
good effect in reducing the number Of
accidents."-New York Herald.

SIN OF AN IDLE LIFE.
Testator Warns Sons-Denounces
Loafng and "Useless Exercise"

LOaftng and useless EXERCISE.
A striking appeal to rich young
men not to allow their wealth tc
tempt them into habits of loaing and
T idlenessais made by the late Lieuten-
ant-Colonel Edward Tufnell in his
will, disposing Of estate valued at
G343,624 gross and net personality
~e103,199.
Colonel Tufnell, who had resi-.
dences in Eaton Square, at The Grove,
Wimbledon Park, and Crowhurst
Park, Sussex, was Unionist M. P. for
Southeast Sussex from 1900 to 1906.
and was formerly q member Of the
Kings Bodyguard.
The appeal against loafng is made
in the following remarkable clause in
his will: .
II desire to bring home to the
minds Of my sons, and Of each and
every young man who may hereafter
take benefit in my property under this
my will, how strongly ! hold to the
|: view that every man should, during
some substantial portion Of his life.
and certainly during his early man.
hood, have some definite occupation;
and lead q useful life, and should not
suffer wealth or any accession Of
wealth or other temptation to tempt
him into idleness, and a mere loafne
and useless existence. .
II might have so framed this my
will as to have made idleness operate
to forfeit the interests hereby con
ferred on my IONS or other young
men in my property, but I foresee
that such a provision might, in Ger.
tain cases, work hardships, and I pre-.
fer to hope and to trust, as I do, that
no son of mine and NJ other young
man who may under this my will sue
coed to the enjoyment of any property
of mine, will so disregard my views
herein. expressed as to lead the life
so strongly '~deprecate."

q strenuous life. He saw active ser.

Ready.Made Blouse.

One may pay a high price for the
ready-made blouse II one is willing to
do it. There are chic imported mod

but such a blouse If made to order by
a dressmaker capable of producing
such work would cost as much or
more than the ready-made model and

Side Seams on Coats.

The idea of running a bias seam
across the coat from the collarbone
under the rever to the hem back Of
the knees Is growing in favor. 1t was
claimed to be q fad that would not
probably last into the latest suits, but
it is still popular, and gives quite q
decided air to a long coat. It is a
marked seam, because it Is done In
the French fashion.
