Character Without and Within.


Character Without and Within.
Capability to develop character is
in every being, as is also the possi- |
bility of it's dwarfing. Therein en-
vironment and early training are pow
erful. Such influences are turned to |
good basis for character, or their
evil may be eliminated as discern
ment and moral strength are expand
ed. What is necessary is for every
one to find Gods living gifts within,
and simply trust them when they
press into growth; then not a waste
place of ones nature will be unin-
habitable by those virtues which
make for character
Wrote James Martineau in Tides
of the Spirit;
Conscience is thority-divine
thority-universal authority; or it
is nothing. 1t is a right royal power,
that cannot stoop to serve: dethrone
it, and it dies. Not even can it con-
sent to be acknowledged as a citizen
king, chosen by the suffrages of
equals, open to their criticism and
removable at their pleasure. Either
it must be owned as bearing a sa-
cred and underived sovereignty,
against which argument is impiety
and dreams Of redress incur the pen
! alties of treason; or it will decline
the earthly scepter and retire to
heaven. 1t reigns not by the acqui-
preme by nature over all will; nor
rules according to any given law, be-
! ing itself the fountain of all law, the
guardian of order, the promulgator
of right. Its prerogatives are pene-
trating and paramount, like God.
IF you have nothing to work with
but animal pleasures and pains, and
unlimited time for their experience
and transmission, you can never hope,
through all eternity, to build up a
conscience.
Whatever you may doubt, some
thing there is which you deem true;
however much is common and un-
clean, you have your CLEANS of what
is surely holy; wherever you are
weak, there is some matter on which
your secret eye is clear and your foot
is firm. Here is the ground on which
your moral life is to be raised. Till
you get down to the foundations of
natural piety and touch sacred
ground, you cannot raise the super
structure OF either your knowledge
or your action.

OLDEST PARIS NEWSPAPER.
The Journal Des Debats and Napo-
Icons Famous News Order.

The oldest newspaper in Paris. the
Journal deS Debats, was one Of the
cluster of newspapers which sprang
into being with the beginnings of pop
ular government in 1859.
1t was founded by printer named
Baudoin. and purported to be. as its
name shows. mere chronicle Of po-
litical events. Owing to its pungent
criticisms of men and affairs it soon
became one of the most influential OF
the Paris journals.
In 1905 the paper was compelled by
Napoleon to change its name and be-
came the Journal de rEmpire. 1t was
in the course of the correspondence
which took place between Napoleon
and the editor. Fievee. on the subject
of the threatened censorship that the
emperor gave the order which has be
come famous. about the policy of the
newspaper. that it should publish no
news unfavorable to the government
until the truth was so we'll known thar
publication was needless"
After Napoeon's retirement to Elba
the paper resumed it's old title. 1t is
still edited and printed in the house
where it was first started, beside the
church Of ST. Germain de PAuxerrois.

A PLOW THAT RANG TRUE.
It Likewise Proved Its Quality to the
Buenos Aires Buyers.

It Likewise Proved Its Quality to the
Buenos Aires Buyers.
In BuenoS Aires few years ago an
American salesman of plows wished
to demonstrate to local customer the
superiority of his goods over that Of
a German competitor. The American
consul arranged for the test.
The German plows proved to be al
most exact duplicates Of the American
implement in design and rather better
in finish. Wasting no time in explana-
ton. the American salesman called
over a powerful peon and o. ared him
to swing with all his strength with a
ten pound Sledge upon the share OF
cne Of the American plowS.
The husky Basque SIat upon his
hands. hunched his muscular shoul-
ders. swung the heavy hammer in d
wide circle and brought it down on
the spot indicated. A note as clear
as that Of bell rang c.!t and the
plow went bounding across the floor.
but save for the patch of red paint
that fused to and came of on the
hammer head the share was nImark-
ed When the operation was repeat
ed upon one of the German imple-
ments the first share was completely
shattered. the pieces being scattered
about the floor like so much broken
crockery. Thinking that possibly the
faultineSS Of this share had been an
accident of construction. perhaps of
overtempering. the dealer requested
the peon to swing upon the second
sample This blow demonstrated that
the German implements were not even
consistent in their effectiveness. for
this share doubled up under the blow
and folded lovingly in around the
hammer like flower going to sleep
at night.
There were tears in the consurs
eyes as he wrung the salesman's hand
in congratulation. but all he said was.
