always feel suspicious of the hus-
band who can tell how to
manage a wife. There is no
doubt that a great many hus-
bands are possessed with a con-
ceit that they are tolerable governors
in the home; and although they get
no compliments along these lines they
feel well over their imagined sHc-
cesses. The fact is, a good home is
like good governments place where
there is a maximum of progress and
order with a minimum of regulations
and orders. 1t is a sad spectacle in this
life to see people who are confident of
their ability to manage a wife, but who
never show any ability at managing
themselves; for this is the point at
which the power of mana cement even
of dog, begins. Since 1 have been

least capable of telling how it is done,
for the winning way has more to do
with it than positive demeanor, or
a sharp command.

But the personal life that stands
pat is not simply hating. it is going
backward. ITO be as good as our
fathers said Wendell Phillips. 1--WE
must be better" And it is equally
true that to be as good tomorrow as
we were yesterday, we must be bet
ter. 1t has pleased me lately to no
tice the transformation in an elderly
man, a church member, for many
years, who up to a short time ago was
tart. grouchy, complaining, easily ir-
ritated, but who has recently deve1-
oped an altogether unprecedented
sweetness and serenity of temper. He
has not been to any revival meetings,
SO far as I know, and 1 have no rea-
son to think that he has had any
vision by night, or that any particu-
lar, single influence has effected this
change. All I know is that, whereas
he would have been called a standpat
in personal religion up to within a
year. he now has high ranking among
those who are daily growing in grace.
Come to think of it, should not this
be the usual and not the extraordi-
nary thing for all disciples of the

When city boys are sowing their
wild oats some fathers think that farm
life would be the best thing for them.
OF course they know that sowing Wild
oats is not farming; and that in the
field OF agriculture this would 'be no
recommendation to promote tie
cha noes Of an apprentice. The object
is to turn wasted energy to useful
pursuit, and there is no doubt the
strenuous work of the farm might fur
nish a check for this youthful habit.
1t is an overabundance of leisure and
spending money which prompts wild
oar sowing; and it is as defenceless
habit as idleness has ever inspired
Some youngsters are regarded as fol-
lowing in the footsteps of their faith
crs in this part of their career; and
while it is SO interpreted the allusion
is never considered as being highly
complimentary to the head of the
family. The farmer who takes an ap
prentice of this kind demands a lib
eral price for the apprentices board as
tho only possible chance of making
him profitable. Between homesick-
ness and fear of work cure is often
effected.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

The human mind is full of unrest
and is always likely to be; and this
may be because the human mind has
never been able to discover just what
it wants Perhaps half the vices of
life are the outcome of the minds of
men to Go something different, rather
than to do something mean. We do
not know what makes men take to
evil ways There seems to be wisdom
in that old saying: Evil associations
corrupt good manners; 2 but there have
been exceptions to this rule as well as
to all the others. One near-philoso-
pher is screaming for the prophet who
is to teach the human race how &c
have fun and plenty of it without in
jury to themselves or any one else.
He says: The old and the dull and
the sick know how to be good; but
what is wanted Is a recipe that Will
direct to goodness the man full OF
physical electricity. moral dynamite
and spiritual fame" The men of the
world in search of larger liberties and
greater exaltation seem to lose Their
way because of their misco inception
OF the things sought. Perhaps there
will be q day when jollity and piety
will be companions; and virtuous
moodineSs will be regarded as an Of
Tense.
We have all noticed that if the gar
den truck grew as freely as weeds do,
regardless OF the weather, Work
would be decreased and the prices OF
producing garden truck also. God
made the weeds hardy and they coma
trotting along under all circumstances
just as if they were designed to SYM
bolze a defiant spirit; and doubtless
thcy Wer5, for it is the battle with tile
hoe which makes the farmer con-
queror and his crops an achievement.
1t would not be an achievement to
grow crops il they had the weedy
habit and speed. Charles Dudley
Warner came to the conclusion that
weeds were not a creation of the dew
IFS to make trouble, for he saw the
Divine Providence in creating them
for the purpose of keeping men from
getting lazy. If the Oversoul had not
so planned life that man would have
to work for all the good things he
gets, the human race would have just
represented shiftlessness Man would
always have been like the monkey
under a palm tree waiting for the CO.
coanuts to drop in his lap. Some of
the things we most deplore represent
the highest wisdom.

his old theology. Machinery that
served good uses in the mills twenty
years ago is now on the junk heap.
The kind of methods, like the Meth
dist class meeting, for example, which
in former years served worthy needs
does not now appeal to the modern
mind and heart. Just to shift around
the location of the chairs in prayer
meeting, or to put young men in as
ushers in place of the deacons, or to
bring the stereopticon into the pulpit
of Sunday evening, or to start the
boys cleaning up the streets and lawns
of the towns, or to put the benevo-
lences on a. really businesslike basis,
may be the thing needed to vitalize
the church afresh and make it count
for something in the life of the COM
munity. What DR.. Samuel McComb
of Boston says in his recent book is
eminently true: 'aThe institution which
claims to represent the Christian relig

Hairs IJnop Hersss' Lips.

The fine hairs about the mouth Of
the horse are organs Of touch Of ex-
treme delicacy. They serve to a GER
tain extent the same purpose as our
finger ends. the whlskers Of the cat or
the trunk Of the elephant. Sensitive
ness is due TO specially developed end
ings Of nerves in the skin, which are
continually sending messages TO the
brain. The lip hairs OF the horse first
receive the stimulus. which is commu-
nicated to the end organs and so pass
es on to the brain. They come into
play when the horse samples a new
article Of food. He first smells it and.
having so far satisfied himself. touch
es it delicately with those sensitive
hairs The upper lip moves softly I'm
quick sympathy and confirms the opin-
ion suggested by the hairs. The
tongue judges finally as to the fitness
Of the food. When the horse wishes
to drink these hairs assure him that
the water is free from foreign matter
on the surface, for he drinks from the
surface only. They detect the smallest
particle Of dirt and guide him to the
purest place.
