We'll Confirmed.

The Rev. Joshua Kimber, In his
"reminiscences in the Living Church,
tells the following anecdote of the
late Bishop Horatio Porter: "He had
been journeying up the east bank Of
the Hudson river, stopping for con-
firmation each day at adjoining par
ishes. When he reached Poughkeepsie
he saw a woman at the rail waiting for
confirmation whose face he was sure
he recognized and was somewhat ia
miliar with. He was also certain that
she had been confirmed within the
week at another place. The bishop
whispered TO her to remain after serv-
ice and said: My dear madam, what
do you mean by coming for confirma-
ton? I am sure 1 confirmed you Mon
day at such a place. Did 1 notT She
said: You certainly did. l have been
following you up the river and have
been confirmed every day this week
He, astonished, said, Why did you do
that Whereupon she replied. Be
cause 1 heard it was good for rheuma-
tiSm.'"

Clear Case Of Madness.

John Blank of Ohio is a politician OF
considera BILE influence In his state. One
evening when he was in Washington
he was invited to dine at the home of
John n. Mclean, who dabbles in Ohio
politics and costly tapestries.
Every time Mr.. Mclean hears of a
tapestry sale in Europe he peels off a
section OF his bank roll, hands it to an
agent and tells him to blow it in on
the hangings.
Blanks appetite was very poor that
night. Apparently he was in great
physical pain or felt the gnawing clutch
of a secret sorrow When he got back
to Ohio he made this mournful an
nouncement:
I've always heard that Johu r. Nc
Lean was n wise old guy. It's a mis-
take. That old fellow is as crazy as Il
loon. He took me in to dinner in a
room where there was absolutely moth
ing on the floor and all the carpets
were hanging ON the wall."-Popular

Dynamite and Tree PLANTING.

Possibly what at first sight appears
to be the strangest application of dyna-
mite is for the purpose of planting
trees. Yet it's success in this connec
ton is said to be peculiarly remarka-
Bile. When a hole is made with a
spade the surrounding soil is left in
its hard condition. The result is that
the roots find it difficult to start They
are cramped in the tight quarters of
the hole and cannot pierce the sur
rounding hard wall of earth With
dynamite a large clean hole is blasted
out and, in addition, the soil on all
sides is loosened for FIVE or six feet
When the tree Is planted the young
and tender roots force their way with
out effort through the crevices. suck
ing up nourishment and commence TO
grow from the moment. they are set
without any retardation whatever.

Scrap Book
The Impression He Gave.

The learned English jurist. Judge
Willis, was a very democratic and gen,
ial sort of man. On one occasion go
ing home in an omnibus which landed
him at an inn known as the Green
Man, he as usual passed the time in
friendly discourse with the passengers.
To one housewife who had been mar
keting he delivered a well meant lee
ture on the purchasing power of money.
the tariff, free trade and domestic and
political economy. To other passengers
he talked freely and dispensed counsel
and advice indiscriminately. Arrived
at his destination. he intimated TO the
conductor, Il want to get out at the
Green Man" Accordingly the omnibus
slowed down, but as he was leaving his
seat lady touched him on the sleeve
and earnestly inquired, My good man,
don't you think you've had enough?"

The Humble Hero.

He was not of the royal blood.
He did not seem to know his worth,
But in our common brotherhood
He was hero of the earth.
God gave him grace to work and wait
And strength and patience to endure
And faith and hope which. soon or late,
A crown of triumph would insure.
He looked not to the heights for fame
Nor walked where wild ambition leads,
Content on earth to wreathe his name
With kind and helpful little deeds.
The world seemed brighter for his smile
And hearts were glad to have him near
Broadening lifes nobler scope .the while
He moved within his humble sphere.

Walking from Weakness to Health.
The person who is anemic. weak
or sick, with no organic trouble,
would do we'll to plan out a walking
regime in order to regain health
and strength, advises William j..
,cromie in Woman's World for Sep
TENDER. He believes that even in
many forms Of organic weakness
walking is the best kind of exercise.
He says that It should be started
and increased by degrees, as follows:
Health, like any other investment
can be doubled and redoubled. Your
principal at the start may not be
very great; you may not be able to
walk more than a quarter OF a mile.
at a time, but If you keep at it, in.
time you can multiply it by five and
ten, and thus increase your physical
efficiency.
After you get health and strength
the best way to conserve it is by
walking each day the number of.
miles best suited to your physical
condition. No rules regarding the
amount of walking can be laid down,
because just as one persons food is
another persons poison, SO the
amount of walking that benefits one
may be positively injurious to an
other Il
II women would walk more. they
would consult the peauty doctor less,
as walking clears the complexion,
brightens the eyes. aids digestion,
and makes active a torpid liver.
Women Will find that long dis
lance walking will reduce adipose
tissue upon the neck, abdomen and
hips. In fact, walking will stimulate
and assist digestion, assimilation and
excretion.
Beginsa mile walk today; continue
this for a week. The second week
walk two miles each day, Add one
mile each week till you are walking
five miles daily. On Saturday or
Sunday devote a day to walking in
the country. Continue this for six
months and you will find that you
have increased your physical eflcl-
ency to such an extent you will make
it a part Of your daily regime for
life.

Tic american Party.

From its foundation the Republi-
can party has been essentially the
American party. 1t never has had
any kind OF. alliance with the govern
ments Of Europe nor aped foreign
ideas or customs. That does not
mean that it has been in any degree
narrow or provincial in its policies.
Under its wise administration the
United States has become a world
power and sits in the councils Of ma
tons. But it has insisted that the
government is made for Americans,
and that foreign products coming
into this country to compete with
American labor deprive our mer-
chants, mechanics and investors of
what Justly belongs to them.
