MIGHT BECOME GOOD ENOUGH TO BE A CLERGYMAN. THE

you BEGIN LIFE WITH ILLUSIONS. ALL LIFE's EXPERIENCE
is A CORRECTION OF THESE ILLUSIONS.
Again there occurs that immortal saying, "What doth it profit
a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul% Riches,
as often has been preached, do not bring happiness. More often
said, "AI is vanity There is only one place on earth that true
and lasting happiness can be had, and that is the house of God.
There is an emptiness in the happiness of the world, in the hap
piness that can be bought with riches. The man who is rich in
religion, who is rich in the virtues, is far happier than a Croesus.
1T IS IN THE CHURCH THAT YOU WILL FIND REAL HAPPI-
NESS TRY IT. GO TO CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY. tF YOU
HAVEN'T BEEN TO CHURCH IN A LONG TIME you WILL AT
ONCE FEEL THE BENEFICIAL EFFECTS. YOUR HEART WILL BE
LIGHTER. YOU'LL WALK WITH A MORE RuoYANT STEP.
YOU'LL BE REFRESHED IN BODY AND MIND. YOU WILL FEEL
LIKE THE TRAVELLER ALONG A DUSTY ROAD WHO FINDS A
RU5HLlNc SPRING.
The door of the church is open. 1t is inviting. The pastor
bids you to enter. Follow the happy throng. Be one of them.

Mark Twain said the only introduc-
ton to a literary audience that seemed
to him the right word in the right
place, a real inspiration, was as fol-
lows:
Ladies and gentlemen, l shall not
waste any unnecessary time In the in
PRODUCTION. l don't know anything
about this man-at least l only know
two things about him. One is that he
has never been In prison, and the other
is l can't see why he hasn't"

Wounded Union Mar Came to Life and
Scared His Company.
Major Samuel A. Losch of Pennsyl-
vania once told the following remark
able episode of the civil war:
After the charge in the fight at the
Weldon road. in which his regiment
participated, Aug. 10. 1864, Company
II had but two men left, named Nc.
Manus and Kull. These men, under
command of (then, Sergeant Losch,
were among those ON picket duty dur
ing the night. McManus had gone be-
yOnd the line aud was behind a tree
when a fash of lightning revealed his
whereabouts. to Kull, who, mistaking
him for a Confederate, fired and shot
McManus in the head. Kull's mistake
was discovered. and his comrades
body was carried to the rear. covered
with a blanket and placed on the
ground, a supposed dead Union soldier.
Next morning. while a party of the
regiment were seated around the camp
fire discussing bareback and coffee in
close proximity to McManus' body, the
blanket was seer to move. and direct
~, to the great CONSERVATION of the
party, McManus o up. walked to
the fire and asked for a cup of coffee.
After his comrades had recovered them.
selves they returned to the fire and ac-
c0mmodated the resurrected McManus.
He was badly wounded, however. and
was sent to a hospital. The operation
Of %trepanning was performed. and the
soldier recovered.

offerings OF olives and flowers. A for
al wreath was placed at the head of
the grave, and IL a bloom sprang from
the mound it was considered a sign of
the happiness of the departed one
In Rome a similar festival was held
for several days in February. 1t was
known as the Parentalia. During this
celebration the temples were closed
and the last day offerings were made
at the tombs. These consisted Of milk,
honey, fruit, wine and other things.
while flowers Of every variety were
used in profuse decoration.
The druids held a memorial service
in the autumn on the eve of the
Thanksgiving feast. while the ancient
people of Japan and China had a sery-
ice for the dead called the feast OF
lanterns.
After the various nations embraced
Christianity this custom became more
widespread and the nature of its cele-
bration changed materially. The spirit
ual side of the day became the upper
most feature, and this led directly to
the founding of All Souls day. This is
observed In our own country strictly
in a religious manner, but in many
places in Europe It includes the deco
ration of flowers in addition to the
spiritual exercises. In France, for sew
eral days before the feast, wreaths and
lunches of immortelles, dyed in various
colors, are seen in the shop windows.
In Italy the celebration Is very much
like that in France. but perhaps a little
more attention is paid to the material
celebration. Wreaths are often made
of metal, and, while more durable,
they hardly possess the charm or
beauty OF real leaves and flowers.

WWYE are apt to live too much in

world OF fact and not enough in thu

Along with the facts be must have i'm
aeination. must see more than is in

things that touch him. He cannot live
by bread alone. He must live a good
deal by faith and by memories and in
his hopes. The best and noblest and
most consoling part OF life is the life
OF the spirit. Of religion, Of the patriot
ism that would die for an idea, of the
integrity that cares for right because it
Is right and for liberty because In lib
erty the soul of man grows strong and
for order because without it liberty
cannot endure. 1t is this part Of life
that Memorial day is ordained to fos-
ter-this immaterial, invaluable. indis-
pensable part of it. Money Is useful;
wealth is past labor stored up for fu-
ture use. Men will do much for money.
and they do well to be regardful Of the
usefulness Of wealth. But they will
do more for sentiment, for something
that exists only in the imagination.
only in their hearts. For that they
will turn aside from the creation of
wealth and will give their substance
and, If need be. their very lives.
1t is to preserve this trait in men
that Memorial day is instituted. It re
minds us of our fathers. who gave their
lives for an idea.-Edward s. Martin

MODERN B~AYoNETs.
Rigid Tests They Must Pass Bsfors
They Go Into Service.

Rigid Tests They Must Pass Bsfors
They Go Into Service.
Any soldier win tell you that moth
ing in his equipment wears better thar
his bayonet. for this few inches OF
steel seldom. snaps or loses its shape
however great the strain imposed upon
it This Is because the modern bay,
onet has to pass through twenty-thres
severe tests before it is considered al
to be attached to a soldiers gun. A
bayonet blade is forged from the
finest steel. and the first stage Of its
manufacture consists of heating 1t un.
til red hot. when 1t is placed under a
hammer which deals 1900 blows q
minute. This process results m the
original piece of steel being hammer
ed out to twice It's length The bar IL
then heated again and rolled between
two huge iron cylinders. which press
1t into the rough shape OF a blade
Emery wheels hen grind its edges M
til they are as sharp as a razor.
Altogether the bayonet passes through
200 processes before it is ready for the
testing room.
The first test applied to the polished
blade is the striking" test A steel
arm grips the bayonet and with great
force drives 1t against a solid piece Of
wood A badly produced blade snaps
like a needle. but a good piece Of steel
emerges from this severe test with its
edges straight and unblunted.
Then comes the bending test. The
point of the bayonet is firmly gripped
in a vice. and it is bent and twisted
into part of a circle. II it survives
this ordeal the blade is placed straight
up under a heavy weight attached to
a lever. The steel is bent beneath the
weight. and to pass this test It must
lift up the mass of iron by ITS own
elasticity.
However badly bent. a good bayonei
should spring back perfectly straight,
and It Is tested for this quality before
leaving the factory. The blade Il
placed on a curved block, the point be.
ing secured In a hole. The bayonet IL
then bent to the curvature Of the
block, and when released It must
spring back to its original stra1ghtness
to satisfy the rigid ruling OF the In
spector. Altogether a bayonet has ID
pass twenty-three tests with regard d
its accuracy and strength.-LOnd0H

A souTHERNER,s MEMORIAL
DAY SENTIMENT.

May 80 has been set aside by
northern states as Memorial
day. Everywhere that a FEEDER
al soldier is buried his last rest
ing place is made beautiful on
this date by loyal hands and low
ing hearts. The soldiers body
for the time being rests under
mounds of buds and blossoms,
while the flag for which he
fought-our fiag-futters at half
STAFF above his tomb. In many
places on Memorial day the
graves of Confederate soldiers
are strewn with flowers by north
ern men and women who have
forgotten the hatreds of war and
the rancors of reconstruction.
There can be no true American
who does not welcome these
signs of peace and friendship.
Orators may pirate in national
gatherings and tell in spread
eagle metaphors of the greatness
and goodness of the new unifica-
ton, but all their eloquence fails
to impress the southern heart
with the sincerity OF some north
ern community when 1t places
. above the grave of a Confederate
soldier its simple tribute-a
bunch Of blossoms Of the spring.
Here is the act without hope of
. reward, the act that has no mo-
! tive hidden In its doing-an act
of friendship, an act OF frater-
nifty and the action of hearts
that are large enough to realize
!. that the dead Confederate SOL
diers wer Americans and their
. bravery was but the reflex OF the
nation.-Augusta (Ga.) Herald.

At times the wheat market became wild

Strictly stock market operations were
