The Remedy.

Not long ago Lord Kinnaird, who is
always actively interested in re-
ligious work, paid surprise visit to
mission school in the east end OF
London and told class of boys the
story of Samson. In concluding his
narrative his lordship added:
He was strong, became weak and
then regained his strength, enabling
him to destroy his enemies. Now,
boys, IL I had an enemy what would
you advise me to do?"
A little boy after meditating on the
secret Of that great giants strength
shot up his hand and exclaimed: Get

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

We have been hearing much about
the popular vote and the electoral vote
and that the people do not elect our
Presidents. What does il mean! Is 1t
clear 10 us all? If it isn't it surely
Sbouid be Girls a. well as boys must
know how elections are carried on now,
because it looks from present indica-
rions as if girls will have to assume
political duties some day.
Most of us have learned what it all
means in school but it is surprising
how quickly we forget these things
when we come out of school.
There are two ways Of remembering
a thing-one is to look it up or ask
about it and then think it over for 4
long time. and the other way is per-
haps better and it's just this; As soon
as you have found out about 1t either
Tell il to some one who doesn't know
or understand the question or write 1t
TO some one who would like TO know.
Either telling or writing about a thing
almost always makes ii permanent, be
cause it proves whether we understand
; It or not, and when we once understand
a thing thoroughly It is difficult to for
get it completely. This, of course, ap-
plies TO every kind Of information, eS-
pecially political things, because we do
not think of political things as otteA
as we do some others.

One day a poorly dressed woman ana
child passed by a cheap little SHOP IN
New York city.
The child stopped and looked into the
window. and as her glance fell upon
little calico dog her small face became
very wistful and her large eyes filled with
longing
Her mother watched the childs race,
and then. taking her hand, went into the
shop, laid a few pence on the counter
and having procured the calico dog she
walked out.
He was taken to low, rickety shanty
in a dirty little ally close by, and the
child. after giving him a loving little
squeeze. sat him tenderly upon chair
and ran to help her mother
That night the child took the dog 10
bed with her, and with both arms clasped
tightly around him fell asleep.
But not so with the little dog. He lay
with wide eyes, looking here and there
and peepng into his little mistress's coat
pockets, for her coat hung on chair
close by the bed.
Every morning his little mistress would
get up early, and after helping her mother
prepare the meagre breakfast she would
take the little dog in her arms and go for
a walk
But the calico dog soon tired OF this
