An Automatic Payteller.

A machine that indicates the
amount due in every mans pay en-
velope the instant 1t is wanted Is
among the latest Office devices. This
machine, 1t is said, gives the products
Of payrolls and distributes job costs
in far less time than the. most ex-
pert clerk can deduct them by pencil
and pad. A twist of the wrist gives
the product of the most involved pay
roll fractions-whateve the rate per
hours or the hours worked may b..
Perhaps most remarkable Of all is the
fact that the machine does not COM
pute products; instead, 1t has 1S,S4O
computed products which cover all
conventional payroll figures. The ma
chine occupies little space and is COM
pact and portable.

But One Ideal.

Ideals Of beauty differ where the
body Is concerned. One person prefers
blue eyes and another brown. "What
a pretty girl Bessie ls," one will say,
and another will answer: "Why, l
never thought Bessie particularly pret-
ty, but her sister Mary" and so on.
But when beauty Of character is con-
cerned, there Is no such disagreement.
Everyone realizes that unselflshness is
beautiful, and selfishness ugly, that
kindness is charming and hate hideous.
There is no danger Of your becoming
confused by double standard. There
is but one ideal for the beauty Of the
spirit.-Girl's Companion.

General Baron Won Freytag-Loring-
hoven chief Of the supplementary gen.
eral staff Of the German army, has de-
clared that the general political and
economic situation Of the war works
only In favor Of the allies and that
Germany's soldiers will be defrauded
of the fruits Of her victories. General
Loringhoven believes trench warfare
a great mistake and thinks that only
an aggressive attack would have
brought success. He adds, however,
that the German offensive was not
strong enough to overthrow the allies.
He is shown, at left in photograph,
talking with u member Of his staff.

Teaching by Example.

An item running the rounds states
how tame elephants are used In India
to capture wild ones. California has
a "diving horse" that is used to encour-
age other horses to leap from a high
platform into tank. The animals
that are in training watch their teach
err" make several plunges from plat
form 80 feet high; they are then made
to leap from a platform Is feet high
after few trials they seem to lose
their fear and make the leap from diff
ferent heights without hesitation. This
all shows how things can be taught
by example.

What We Are Here For.

We are not put here Just to enjoy
ourselves and do only what pleases us.
God wants us to forget our own selves;
that is, not to think first and foremost
of ourselves, but to be busy thinking
what we can do for others, to help
them, or to make them happy. And the
Bible tells us, you know, that Christ
pleased not himself" He never thought
what wo,<d make him happlest or most
but what he could do for
someone else.-Kate s. Gates.

Stand BY the Faith.

Are we serving God and the church
as well? Are we getting ready? Are
we putting our whole trust and conf
dence In the Lord? We must be care
full not to secularlze the church while
we are trying to religionize the world.
One of the chief dangers we Of the
clergy meet is that while we try to
win men, the men of the world may
win us. We must, first of all, sub
ordinate everything to building up the
ideal of the Christ and his church.
There is no better way to build up and
to stand by faith.-The Bishop of Col
OrNdo.
