The best must suffer for the worst,
else were they not the best
Tile yearning heart Of love doth glow
with ardor uneApressed,
The best must give their very life as
children of the God

Grudge not the best ,heir suffering,

OF life they give unstintlng nor regret
their sacrifice.
The odor Of the ointment doth per-
fume the offering,
And fill the house and I'LL the world
with fragrance love doth bring.

Early c.ai L..asver,cs.

The arsi l.-2M,ion of coal in the ter ritory wli,A a.,>r1Ggd became the United State; las heretofore been crcl- credited to Ta.her Louis IIennep.iL who showed ga a Ll&p published in 1Go9 the lovLtiol of a cole El.ne" along Illinois river ..car the site of Hle pres ent city of O,i"N1. According t0 \. O. Andres of tue Illinois state geological survey. the credit for this first mention of coal does not belong to Hcnncph, as the discovery of coal in the UniteG States by Europeans was made by Joliet and Marquette in 1GT3. How ever, nearly q century and half elapsed after the discovery of coal in Illinois before mining began. The Journal of the Franklin institute for 1886 states that the first mining ops erations conducted by white men were at the Mount Carbon mines. in Jack son county, III. These mines were opened in 1SlO and worked to small extent for many years. The earliest recorded production was in 1893. when G.C00 tons of coal is said to have been mined. Detroit Free Press.

chinn,n Mnieatio Altar.

No altar on earth vies in marble majesty with the Altar of Heaven Tien T'anA-in the south of the Chi- nese city of Picking, which Emperor Yung Le of the Ming dynasty reared in X. D. 1I20 with its triple balus- trades, stairs and platforms of pure white marble carved miraculously, its great circle covering wide area in the midst of vast inclosure. Standing alone. deserted under the blue Chinese sky, 1t is n dream of majesty and beau ty. As the great setting of scene of ritual pomp that calls for thousands and thousands of robed celebrants, with music, incense, sacrifice, it is
 transcendently imposing and impress ing. There the emperor knelt once n year and worshiped ''the only being in the universe he could look up to- shang Ti-the emperor of the world above. whose court was in the sky and the spear tips of whose soldiers were the stars.

To remove grease spots from the pages of books, gently warm the soiled page of the book, which should have Il piece of thick paper under it, by holding a hot iron at q little distance from the paper. Next press upon the spots pieces of clean plotting paper one after another, so as to absorb as much of the grease as possible.

If this ap- plication is repeated the stain will shortly disappear, Finally, take n clean brush, dip it in rectified spirits of wine and paint over the place.

Carried 1t Through.

A teacher in rural school was one day explaining to her class the degrees of comparison of adjectives. To make sure she was understood, she called on each pupil in turn to give comparatives and superlatives of adjectives which she named, and got good answers until she asked one little fellow to name the comparative degree of 'sick."
 After thinking a moment he said: "worse."
 The answer puzzled the teacher, be. cause, although it was not the one she wanted, the pupil had given a compara. tive. She decidedshe could best show him his error by letting him go on, and asked sweetly,T ,TWell, if worse is the comparative of sick, what would you give as the superlative ?"
 "Dead," came the answer without a moments hesitation.

A Kindly Human Teueh.

How rapidly nature repairs and beau tiies the torn places. The gash left by the uprootcd tree is soon covered with green. and moss and vines are quick to make the old stump into a thing of beauty. Humanity might well learn lesson thereby, to its own great advantage. Sympathy may ea"i,y trans form the unsightly and give it beauty. If earth's soil responds to the touch of nature in such way it k reasonable to suppose that human life would not be less responsive. Hundreds of lives at present harsh and repulsiye are within reach of every one. and they might be wholly changed by a little sympathetic seeding and kindly cul- turc After all, what more is needed than the persuasion of the kindly hu- man touch? There is no greater mira cle than that which Is wrought by love. and there Is no man who may not work it if he will.-Christian Register
