mole, as soon as the cry has gone up
that the topsail has not struck, and is
now waiting eagerly at the wharf. AS
we stand with them we note a little
group of Jews, who scan with perplexed
countenances the band of prisoners hud-
died near the Prov. For whom are they
looking In that band?
A prisoner, bound with chains and
dressed like themselves in white. stands
forth. Brethren. ye are Jews: are We
also Christians?" IS his salutation. I'VE
are both, and art thou Paul?' they cry.
IF SO, why, then, these chains?"
The explanations soon are made. and
as the courteous centurion. Julius, is
eager to show his appreciation of what
Paul has meant to him and his compan-
ions on that ill-fated voyage, leave is
procured for Paul to remain over for one
week at Puteoli. What that brief visit
meant to christianity we may never
know. but we may be well assured that
out from that busy port there flowed an
influence for the upbuilding Of mankind
that never can be gauged.
From Puteoli Paul pushed on to Rome;
there to preach and write and die. To
Puteoli. in the last brief year of his
life doubtless came Simon Peter also
to pay at Rome the penalty of his f1del-
ity. In and out of the busy harbOr
flowed an unceasing current OF Christian
influence until at length the cause of
Jesus Christ triumphs over martyrdom
of the Roman empire.
AS we wander among the countless
ruins of this ancient port as We drink
in the stimulating sea breeze, along with
the lessons to be learned wherever mans
poor handiwork decays as we live over
the beauties and gofies, the deeds and
daring of this place and those who used

THE glories Of this mortal state
Are shadows. not substantial things.
There is armor against fate
Death lays his icy hand on kings.
Scepter and crown must tumble down
And equal in the dust be made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade.
But what of that prisoner whom julius
brought to Puteoli long ago? What of
the cause for which he suffered chains
and death? Gothic invasions broke the
heart of Rome and ravaged the town

sluggard does not desire anything SO
earnestly as to render him anxious to
work for what he wants. Earth is full
of people who desire things. IF wishes
We're horses, then beggars would ride
If any young man feels that he is not
making a success let him look to the
vigor of his efforts toward success, rather
than to the wishes he makes for it. "As

Goethe sums up the matter What really
constitutes success is another subject
which may be discussed here at q later

cess is won without work-and good, hard
work
The economist teaches US the same les
son as does the moralst. He tells us that
all the factors of material wealth are
only three in cumberland, together with
the products of the land; labor, which
works the land. and capital, which sup
ports labor till the land yields its product
But the capital itself is held to be the re-
suit of saving-and saving is nothing but
the stored up results of labor Hence 1t
is that even the scientific observer ac-
knowedges the fact that the diligent

things But | do blame him for not ele-
waiting his desire to the plane of ambition
The sluggard's type of desire, also. IL
at the bottom of most moral failures, as
well as of most material failures No
man. | care not who he is, is inherently
bad. The vicious soul is essentially the
weak soul. 1t desires the good, but
doesn't desire the good sufficiently; it
does not especially desire the evil. but
neither does it especially desire to avoid
the evil And. finally, when it has be-
come corrupted by the evil, it still sees
nothing in sin to love. Such a soul SIM
ply remains in it's corruption because it
is too weak to mend its ways in the man
ner it really desires-but, alas. does not
desire intensely enough. Possibly Christ
had these wretched creatures in mind
when He prayed Lead us not into temp
tation," just as He may have thought of
the strong man, fighting for his spiritual
welfare, when He added, but deliver us

'HE small flower design
has been used so long as
1 a pleasing addition to
baby dress accessories
that anything in the floral design
is gladly welcomed. Two pat
terms are furnished this week.
Each is dainty and calls for very
little needlework. OF course
there are bits of eyelet always
tedious in way, but not difficult
of construction. The solid work
in leaves, bow-knots. etc, should
not be padded. Fragile goods
such as one uses in the construc-
ton OF juvenile garments cannot
bear the strain Of heavy embroid-
cry.
\ cheap white material having
a coarse mesh is not suited to this
fine embroidery. The goods should
have a closely woven mesh. and
a single strand oi floss should be
used III the needle: more than
that gives the coarse effect which
should be avoided. The little
dark line that appears on all EN-
broidery when finished is not TO
be bleached. for it imparts much
better effect in a pattern. and i'm
ported pieces are showing it. This
is a consolation, for the design is
not easily bleached. though am
monia and peroxide of hydrogen
will bleach the most refractory
marks when one wishes to make
the pattern pure white.
To Prepare Stencil.
Outline the design upon very
thin. glazed cardboard, easily bent,
or upon the back of white table
oilcloth. A pair of sharp embroid-
cry scissors and very sharp pen
knife will be needed to cut out the
designs A round punch is helpful
to take out parts. After cutting
out all parts, coat the design with
hot paraffin and press with warm
iron if the design is on cardboard
Treat only the back of the oilcloth.
A second. application OF wax makes
the pattern impervious to moisture.
Use stub brushes, slightly point
ed. To make stencil paints, use
ordinary dyes, desired colors, di-
luted with water or gasoline. Dip
the brush into the dye. pat out the
moisture on a folded cloth pad.
work the design from the center to
the extreme edge, being careful
not to allow the moisture to creep
under the design. Pin the pattern
to the fabric; keep the goods on
pad of newspaper; work slowly.
Lift the pattern carefully. When
dry, press the goods on the wrong
side with a warm iron.
