institutions; but God is in both and the same laws of justice and right doing underlie both institutions. When God moved this Hebrew nation from tribal to national life, He selected first, great leader; trained him for 80 years and put him at the head of the nation. Through him he gave the laws, estab- lished his tabernacle and fixed signifi- cant days. In these steps we have the fundamental steps of every great nation. No nation can be great without great men. great instructors and great days. Great men are our exemplars, great in- stitutions our instructors. and great days our insprators. A nation cannot be great without example, instruction and inspiration. Abraham, Moses, Joshua, David. Solomon and the other great men who came to the front in the Hebrew nation, lifted by their example and teaching the great masses apout them; and so, great leaders in every nation have by the power of their example spread their greatness among the people and elevated nation life.

STUART EPIGRAMS

There is one great devil-but he's got lot of helpers.
 He who is content to go behind, God never meant to go before.
 Every great nation is built upon three things: Great men, great insti- tutions and great days.
 Great men go in groups.
 Our age has drifted to two things: Money and sport.
 When l want to get up I come down.
 You can't destroy a nation that keeps it's great days.
 The man who will doff his hat at the American flag and violates the American Sabbath is hypocrite.
 Thanksgiving is not hullabaloo, but a quiet, grateful service

If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; then will give you rain in due season. and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit" "God undertook to build great na- tion and we have in the text the fun damental principles" said pr.

ARTISTS FAMOUS AS WRITER'S
Several Of the Most Noted Novellsts
Deserted the Brush for Lit
erary Work.

Several artists of note have been
known to desert the brush for the pen,
and when they have died they have
left their mark behind them as lit
erary men, observes an exchange. Will
liam de Morgan did this. He wrote
the longest set of novels since Dick
ems and Thackeray ceased firing" al
though he was an old man when he
took to the pen. George du Maurier
was an artist who turned author after
making a European fame with the pen
ell as a satirist Of society. He sudden
ly startled the world with "Trllby,"
and set two continents comparing feet.
With him novel-writing seemed his true
forte, but he had started too late. He
only enjoyed his new fame few years.
Even Thackeray tried art before he
found his true vocation, and he Illus
trated several of his own books even
then. A very piquant story tells of
Thackeray calling on Charles Dickens
to see If he could get the commission
to illustrate one of his earlier novels.
He had not written "Vanity Fair"
thenl
A very distinguished artlst-author
was Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who was
supreme In both arts.

The Pics Food Habits.

We must all (says the. Pail Mall
Gazette) make our apologies to the
pig, who has been grossly maligned in
regard to his food. Instead of being
ready to eat anything, he turns out to
be the most fastidious of animals. Ex-
periments have been made In France
and Sweden which show this 10 be the
case, and in the latter country the
record tells us that out of 575 plants
the goat eats 449 and refuses 1876; the
sheep out of 52S plants eats 3S7 and
refuses 141; out of 494 plants the COW
eats 276 and refuses 21S; out Of 474
plants the horse eats 262 and refuses
2l2; and the pig out Of 243 plants eats
u and refuses III.

Puppies Soon Learn II They Are Placed
With Ewes and the lamb6
Taken Away.

1t Is easy enough to train shepherd
dogs II they are taken as pup
pies. When the sheep are lambing,
take a lamb away from its mother
and put the puppies on the eve. Keep
the eve tied up for few days and
see that the little puppies nurse her;
then 1t will not be long until she win
think as much Of the pups as she does
Of her lamb.
AS soon as the pups are old enough
to follow the sheep let them go with
the bunch and they will soon be TAX
Ing care Of the sheep. The dogs will
soon learn to take them out Of the
sheds In the morning and bring them
back at night. And II strange dog
or wolf comes around, one dog will
stay and fight while another will start
the sheep for home. In lambing time
they keep the sheep close around the
ranch or camp, and seem to take on
degree Of intelligence that is mar
velous. They can soon be taught the
masters calls or signals and will obey
promptly. 1t Is essential that they
shall be fed by some sort of system,
and 1t Is well to have them understand
that this is their reward. If one has
good working dog, it is surprising
how readily young animal will learn
from the old one. But the masters do
not always have an old dog, and then
the trainer must play the dog himself
and do little running, Everyone
has his own whistles or words Of COM
mand, and a dog soon catches on.-Ex-

CONGRESS Holds Purse Strinus.

the provision that mo appropriation of
money to that use shall be for longer

years. the military branch of the gov

into his own hands or use the army for
improper purposes would soon find its
