This Parson Carried Samples

A minister who has been doing
missionary work in India recently re-
turned to New York for visit He
was a guest at well-known hotel,
where everything pleased him except
the absence of the very torrid sauces
and spices to which he had become
accustomed in the Far East. Fortu-
nately he had brought with him a
supply of his favorite condiments,
and, by arranging with the head
waiter, these were placed on his
table. One day another guest saw
the appetizing bottle on his neigh
bor's table and asked the waiter to
give him some of that sauce"
'I'm sorry, sir" said the waiter,
''but it is the private property of this
gentleman" The minister, however,
overheard the others request and
told the waiter to pass the bottle.
The stranger poured some of the
mixture on his meat and took a liberal
mouthful. After a moment he turned
with tears in his eyes to the minister.
You're minister of the gospel?"
"Yes, sir.
And you preach hell and damna-
tion?'
Yes" admitted the minister.
"Well, you're the first minister I
ever met who carried samples. -

ACKNOWLEDGING A TOAST.

The occasion of a toast, though al
ways a joyful one, is nevertheless en-
brassing for the person toasted, and
the girl who does not blush under the
stress is of unusual calibre. A girl
does not drink from her glass as the
toast is given, but may touch it to
her lips as she rises to reply. She
makes a bow that includes all the
company, thanks them in whatsoever
terms she pleases that are gracious
for the honor paid her, and when she
sits down may, if she likes, take
sip from her glass. In fact, a girl
responds to toast exactly as a man
would, and the wit of her acknowl-
edgement is governed by her control
o. feeling, her readiness and her self
possession; but the best response is
always the one that cvmes from the
heart and is most naturally phrased.

A National BenefactOr.

Economically, the swallow is one Of

these are few of the injurious in
sects that the birds of the swallow
family live upon.
Oliver Goldsmith in his History
of Animate Nature" speaks of the
good these birds do, thus showing
that even at that time. when little was
known about them, they were appre-
ciated. But recently they have as
.sumed national Importance because
of their great service in checking the
danger threatened by the cotton-boll
weevil. 1t has been estimated that,
in favorable circumstances, single
pair of these weevils will in one sea-
son raise family of twenty-nine or
thirty millions.
The female lays about 40 eggs.
depositing each egg in a different
square or boil of cotton. The boil
is punctured, the egg deposited, and
the insect passes on to another.
''No cotton comes from boil thus
"stung." Rather it shrivels and dies
while furnishing food for the growing
worm. This pest is spreading at the
rate of fifty miles a year, and unless
methods can be found to arrest its
progress. it will eventually infest the
entire cotton-prod ducing area. The
Biological Survey has found thirty
eight species of birds which feed upon
these weevils. Foremost among these
are the several species of swallows,
including the beautiful but diminish

is during these migratory flights,
when the weevils are flying in the
open, that the birds do so much good.
We of the Northern and Western
States have this cliff-swallow, as we'll
as the other varieties, as summer Wis,
itors. With us they build their nests
and raise their young. Because of
the persecution of English sparrows,
especially successful against the pur-
pie martin, and because of mans ig-
norance as to their value, and conse-
quent Indifference, the swallows have
become scarce in many localities
where they formerly bred in great
abundance

| trying. He does not believe in sooth-
ing pain, but in curing it, and his
method of cure is by cold water.
His method is to treat not the point
where the pain strikes, but the seat
of that pain, which, he claims, is the
spine.
A towel wrung from cold water and
covered with blanket or Turkish
towel is placed on the spine we'll up
on the back of the neck. This Is
changed three times in ten minutes,
then three times in twenty minutes,
and if not relieved he makes another
application in thirty minutes.
Usually, the doctor declares, the
sufferer is in a gentle perspiration,
and is better after the third or fourth
application.
This treatment has been known
after several recurring attacks to per-
manently cure obstinate cases of neu-
ralgia which failed to yield to drugs.

Laurel Leaf Embroideries.

Every season the Paris embroider-
ers adopt one particular leaf for their
designs, and according to the way
the foliage is repr duced the leaf is
enlarged or reduced far beyond its
natural dimensions.
There was once vogue for poppy
foliage and fowers, followed later
on by another for tulips. The art
nouveau craze brought irises and or
chids into fashion. There was a
period also when ivy and woodbine
were mixed.
This year, when so many Of the
gowns are First Empire, our artists
have drawn chiefly laurel leaves in

made for an American blonde, was

satin laurel leaves of much darker

WHEN NEURALGIA GRIPS.

visit to good dentist.
Sometimes it is necessary to visit
more than one dentist, for the trou-

Sometimes it is caused by over

Do not take drugs and sleeping

WINNING VICTORIES.

The popular idea is that il a girl
marries we'll, in the worlds way of
thinking, that settles her fate for
life. Nothing could be further from
the truth, writes Hilda Richmond, in
the Delineator. The young woman
who has that false idea in her mind
had better root it out once for all.
She may have won a good husband,
but that does not insure her q happy
home life. Every day she must win
her great and small victories, or the
marriage will be failure. There are
some women who begin to let them
selves down the day after the honey
moon ends, and after that I. is easy
to drift to the place where g. nythlng
is good enough for home
1t is safe to say that no woman
ever won very much in the way of
domestic happiness who is untidy,
careless, and unlovely in her home
when strangers are not present. A
weeping woman who confded her
troubles to an old aunt, and thought
nothing but threats of a divorce
would bring her husband to a sense
of his sins of neglect, was shocked
beyond measure when the aged rela-
tive told her in plain, forcible En&
lish to clean up, and her husband
would be all right. Of course, she
was furiously angry, but when she
combed the mussy hair, applied soap
and hot water to her dingy skin, got
into a very neat house dress and
burned up the soiled house jackets
and loose garments in which she had
trailed about so long, reformation
took place at once. There was no
difficulty in winning back the hus-
band, and she has never lapsed into
the old slouchy ways.

shining light that shineth more and

a shining light that shineth more and
more unto the perfect day
Once again, let me say that this
way of our Christ is a reasonable
way. 1t is not true that we must bid
farewell to reason and violate the ilu-
man intellect when we become fol-
lowers of the Christ. Ever since the
Wise Men of old brought the gifts of
gold and frankincense and myrrh to
the feet of the infant Christ, the IN
tellectual aristocracy of the centuries
has been bringing it's choicest produc-
tions into His service. The intellect
nay be transcended 1t is never
:ransgressed. We oftentimes come to
:b2 border land where reason ends
aVd faith takes the torch to it's ulti-
rate goal; but never is it necessary
70 violate the God-given blessing of
the human mind in order to become
a consistent follower of the Man of
Galilee.
And now l might emphasize other
aspects of this way in that it is the
lway of safety for the individual as
we'll as for organized society. If we
are standing upon the immutable
truths of the Christ, we may exclaim:
lS SlSIHdI 1Ou Is our ISIuS6 anu
underneath us are the everlasting
Arms!" 1t is the way of life and not
the way of death, and blessed be
God. this way of pleasure and attract
iVeness and satisfaction and reason
and safety and life is accessible-not
upon the ground of any patent of hu-
man nobility, not upon the basis of
material possession, but upon the
broad and gracious invitation of Him
who not only said: II am the way"
but who also said: Come unto Me
all We that labor and are heavy laden
and l will give you rest
And so we bring our questioning,
with Thomas, to the Christ and find
in Him a solution and an answer,
nnd we get some faint conception of
the commanding spiritual eminence
occupied by st. Paul when he said:
For me to live is Christ"

WOnan'S Wrongs.

The frequency and the atrocity OF
crimes against young women and
girls in New York cannot escape at
tention. Conditions revealed al
most daily are shocking from every
point of view. They can be cor
rected only by sterner admins
tration of justice and by a greater
care on the part of parents and So
ciety in general.
1t is plain enough that people pre-
sumo too much upon the respect for
womanhood which was once a ma
tional trait. Under cover of that
assumption some of those having
children in their care have become
reckless, many of the young have
grown bold, even daring, and vic
ious scoundrels who must be on the
increase have not failed to take ad-
vantage of ignorance, folly and help
lessnesS.
In fifty years our Industrial, COM
mercial and social life has been al
most revolutionized. Hundreds of
thousands of young girls are daily
exposed to perils which rarely be-
set the home. A vast growth in pop
ulation has been accompanied by a
more than proportionate increase of
men and youths who are criminally
inclined. There must be greater
protection of womanhood and there
must be severer punishment for all
those who craftily or savagely make
war upon it.-N. Y. World.
