RELIGIOUS RIOTS IN SPAIN.

a service in the village church, and
the priest, in the course of an adj
dress, made a violent attack on Prime

and after the services a fight started
in the streets. But for the prompt
arrival of the gendarmes a bloody
battle would have been fought

Rad HABITS.

Break off your bad habits at once.
Don't attempt it by degrees. You
never. heard of drunkard reforming
by drinking less and less until he
finally became a total abstainer.
Faster and faster from the elevation
falls the weight earthward, faster and
faster speeds the runaway car down
the grade. Good habits mark the
upgrade, bad habits the decline Per
lection is not easy; destruction is.
The nearer perfection, the slower the
progress, the greater the toiling;
whereas the nearer we are to de-
struction, the more swift and sure
the end.
There is no permanent breaking of
bad habits without forming good
ones. You have heard the old say
ing: Nature abhors vacuum" This
is true all over the world. The field
that is left unsown is sure to throw
up a croop of weeds. 1t will produce
vegetables if the seed be placed in
the ground. And these useful plants
will at length take possession of
things. and crowd the weeds out.
How glad L used to be as boy when
l came upon a pale, sickly ragweed
growing alongside of vigorous cell
cry plant. l would say. "Ah, my fine
fellow, you are getting the worst of it
this time" This was the right order.
So with the mind and heart plant a
new thought, a new affection, a noble
purpose, a high ideal in place of the
old and unworthy; and, If properly
cared for, we may hope that it will
grow and help to crowd out the evil.
Satan still some mischief finds for
idle hands to do"
It will be help to associate with
persons of good habits. To this very
end God has given us our social ma
ture, and our opportunities as MEM
bers of society.

who is much alone in the world, and does
not choose to marry, do with her more
