Health Lift.

When you feel discouraged, try to
encourage someone who needs it, and
see whether it will not cheer you. 1t
is wonderful how such an effort will
scatter the clouds of gloom and how
the light through the riffs will flood
the soul. This was Christ's plan of
operations, for, it is said of Him in
Holy Writ, THAT He went about do
ing good" A busy person seldom
has time for brooding. Altruism is
one of the best cures for the blues.
We remember reading years ago,
about two travellers being overtaken
by a severe and continuous nov
storm. The thermometer stood low,
the men were getting tired and cold,
their progress retarded; finally one
of them succumbed to fatigue and
cold, dropping in a snow drift he soon
dropped into a deep slumber. His
companion was nearing that point
too, but instead of yielding to his
feelings a happythought came to him;
he commenced to rub the hands and
face of his comrade, until he awoke,
rested and warm, and rising to his
feet he was ready for another effort
to reach the place of safety. Mean
while his comrade was also rested
and his blood coursed through his
arteries, warmed by the effort, and
both reached the asylum of safety.
The lift the one gave to the other
was the temporal salvation of both.
So, dear friend, you can never lift
a life to a higher plane without your
self being lifted up. All about you
ARE discouraged persons; a word of
cheer from you, a hearty handshake,
,or a moments pleasant and optimis-
tic chat, will clear the moral sky of
your friend or neighbor.-Evangelical
Visitor.

to know the mind of Christ and to do
His will. Has not the world only
really begun to appreciate and under
stand the Ethical sou and spiritual
teaching of Jesus? And when we re-
call that it was as Teacher that Jesus
allowed Himself to be addressed and
recognized while on earth, we see
that in this effort to know and have
the mind of Christ we are in accord
with the spirit of the gospels.
Let me bring Jesus, the Teacher,
home to each one of you here to-day.
What value is this general recogni-
ton of His authority unless the in
dividual-you and I-share it? This
means that each one of us must go
to the Teacher and sit at His feet and
give His moral and spiritual author
ity a chance to reach our consciences
and minds. This means also that we
respond to Him, not as to art or
music with the senses, but with the
will. In every contact with superior
goodness or truth We discover u
own moral state. No one can learn
of Jesus without sharing the expert
ence of the sculptor, Saint Gaudens.
He spent his adult years without any
conscious religion, and then, in the
maturity of his proves, he began to
read the gospels, with no doctrinal
beliefs whatever, simply with the
eager desire to know what this spirit
was named Jesus of Nazareth. And
after reading and meditating the
words of Jesus he said to his friend,
abiding to Christ: THAT Man can
have anything He wants of me; all
that I have is His"

ONLY ONE COMB.

The craze for numerous fancy
combs has died a natural death. Like
so many other pretty fashions, it was
carried to In extreme. Woman no
longer desires to make her couture
the display ground for a job lot of
odd combs. Though she still makes
occasional use of them, she no longer
cares to have them greatly in evil
dence.
AS for the circle of combs which
not long ago decorated every femi-
nine head, it's very commences has
been the cause of it's Punishment.
When the comb does form a visible
part of the couture it is both beauti-
full and striking. The reintroduction
of the Empire model of hafrdressing
has opened the way for the quaint
high comb of the same period. The
combs are usually made of tortoise
shell, c%uriously fashioned, and artis-
tically ornamented with gold and
jewels. All of these combs are costly,
but to meet the popular demand there
are excellent limitations to be had at
a moderate price.
A ~favorite style for ordinary wear
is a plain tortoise shell comb pierced

NOT QUITE THE SAME THING.
Party Tickets Had Changed Somewhat
Since the Old Gentleman
Handed Out Advice.

Everybody who had known old
Henry admired him for the charity of
his tongue when he spoke of his
neighbors. 1t was his most marked
characteristic-except the %independ-
ence which he manifested In his po-
litical affiliations. 1t made a young
man who was visiting in the neighbor-
hood curious, and one day he man
aged to lead up to the subject and
ask the old man what had taught him
to keep such a good watch on his
tongue.
1T was my father" replied the old
man, quietly. "a splendid man, as l
remember him. He always disliked
to hear folks g%ossipping unkindly
about each other. I've seen him, when
they began it, get on his feet, just like
a cow grazing and gradually working
toward a hole in the fence, and be-
fore any one knew it he'd be out Of
the room, SOS he couldn't hear 'em.
He talked to me about it. Henry
he'd say, when you're of age never
say anything about a man if you can't
say good of him, and always vote the
straight party ticket"
But you don't vote that way"
"Well, sir" said Henry, you see
my father said the straight party tick
ct, and when l came along to vote,
the pesky thing had got so crooked
that 1 don't believe he'd have recog-
nized it."
