WAS A BRILLIANT REPORTER
st. Mark Declared Shining Example
for Newspaper Writer of
Today.

The greatest journalist the world
ever knew lived $500 or more years
before the invention Of type. according
to Rev. DR.. Frank N. Palmer, says the
Philadelphia Bulletin.
st. Matthew put his chronicles In
% chapters; St Luke used "a to tel
his story; st. John used 81, but st
Mark covered all the details more
wildly in 16, and, true to the spirit
Of action that animates his kind. put
a miracle in every chapter.
st. Mark, DR.. Palmer said, was the
reporter among the apostles. His
viewpoint, his language and his mar
velous ability to give action and eli
max, dash and color in a sentence
should be glowing example to the
newspaper writers Of this day
Each Of the other apostles speaks OF
skies that opened. Mark says they
were rent asunder. He is the only
one among his brethren who stopped
dutifully to describe the color of a
given scene. In the writings of his
fellows it is told that the people went
to the sermon on the mount. Mark
writes wildly that the people ran.
In writing for the Romans he used
colorful illusions and the references
to wild beasts to touch their intelli
gence in sympathetic fashion at every
stroke

BRINGING UP OF MOTHERS.

A young person has been writing an
article on tho bringing up of mothers.
Thirty years ago mothers were not
brought up; they just grew. They
wore caps early, gave up dancing when
their children were in short frocks and
knickerbockers, and developed all
sorts OF incorrect ideas about chaper-
ons and tlirtations. Formerly the
young idea was trained the way it
should 60. Now the old tree is pruned
and pared into shape. Girls have as
sumed the responsibility of looking af-
ter their mothers. Mothers are kept
to see to a well ordered house, coax re-
fractory fathers and attend to bores.
They must, moreover, be ornamental,
look well at the head Of the table
dress becomingly, keep up with the
fashions, look nice when the girls take
them out with them, and smile encour-
aglngly at the young men. Nor are
their morals forgotten. Frequently
one hears girl say: SIT is an interest

my mother to-"

memorable loss Of the Birkenbead
he won immortal glory. The troop
ship struck upon q rock; the soldiers
were formed In ranks upon the deck
to die; the women and children were
being saved in boats.
Russell was ordered into one of the
boats to command 1t, and little way
off he watched with dimmed eyes the
doomed ship. When she went down
he saw creatures Of the deep contend
ing for his beloved comrades Then
he saw sailors form rise up close
to the boat, and hand strive to grasp
the side.
A woman in the craft called out in
agony, Save him! Oh, save him, sir,
he is my husband" but there was NO
room for another. and the boat was
laboring heavily as it was. Russell
looked at the woman and then at her
children, then at those beseeching
eyes in the deep, and, rising in the
stern, he plunged into the water, and
helped the sailor into what had been
his own place. Then amid a chorus
of God bless you from everyone in
the boat, the brave young officer
turned to meet his death.

A young woman should be in heart
what she seems to be in life. Her
words correspond with her heart. The
smile of her face should be the smile
of her heart. The light of her eye
should be the light of her soul. She
should abhor deception, she should
loathe intrigue, she should have a deep
disgust of duplicity. Her life should
be the outspoken language of her
mind, the eloquent poem of her soul,
speaking in rhythmic beauties the in
trinsic merit of inward purity. Purity
antecedes all spiritual attainments and
progress. 1t is the first and funda-
mental virtue in good character, it
is the letter a in the moral alphabet,
it is the first step in the spiritual life,
it is the Alpha of the eternal state of
soul which has no Omega.

much to boast of; but to send into the
world honest, true men and women,

they live, is indeed an honor To do

are required; they must take in truth
