I% We all like men who stand toEeth- Ser for right, Or for defenee hut there can be no combination that can get on without respecting the rights of others and maintaining an honest relation toward every true principle of life. When any man through sell fshness has abandoned the principles of honor and justice, and is resolved to depend on force alone, he is a tyrant and will eventually receive a tyrants reward. In all competitions it is we'll to remember that the better part of valof is discretion. There is no going as you please in the contests of life, there is no stability in any settle ment which is in defiance of the laws of right. Iron clad regulations are often the worst kind of tyrany.
 Way back in the misty past we are told by Jeremiah that the people were crying: Peace. peace when there was no peace." And doubtless the people of the world were crying for peace ten thousand years before -Jeremiah's time. The concensus of opinion by the worlds ablest minds has been that we shall at last find peace in heaven. This seems to be a sane conclusion, since peace Sy agree nent has failed thousand times, and is likely to fail thousand times
 more. Permanen peace is beautiful
 dream, and will be until man himself
 becomes peaceful. It is because man
 has made the blessings of peace a
 curse that war has and will persist ,antly recur. league of nations
 may preserve order for awhile but
 compelled quietude is not peace.
 There is no good reason why there should be eternal war between cap
 ital and labor. Their interests are
 mutual and discord and strife is not seem to achieve an advantage at
 times: but if it creates distrust and
 prejudice it makes the future uncer-
 tain. Laying up wrath against the either side. Through great travail and sacrifice this slave world was wrested from tyrants and made free; and it is to keep free that labor fights; and it would have no cause to fight if it's just deserts were respected. Bol- shevisn1 is not a thing to be mocked at but to forestall by just dealing. Carlyle called attention to the fact init in heaven" Man cannot defy balances, since this is the way to an archy and revolution.
 Some of the folks wake up once in a while to speak of duty, just as if duty were an occasional thing, when every day is full of duties. Cicero de- clared: There is not one moment without some duty" And Faber as sures us: Every hour comes with some little fagot of Gods will fasten
 ed upon its back" Our duty requires us constantly to do the truth we known: and some one has pointed out that this is a sure way "of learning the truth we need to know" Duty is closer related to our own we'll being than to the other fellow's! Some peo- pie only feel they are doing their duty when they are logging an erring child. or reproving sinner. when, perhaps had they done their duty they would have had to have done neither.
 We have at last learned that ger aniums, the popular window garden plants, are real tea drinkers and en- joy their tea. just as much as the la dies; and the beautiful red glow of the excessive tea drinkers nose Is found to be real improvement to the geranum's flowers. It is by this in crease of brilliancy and the tonine of the colors that we know the plant given. This really is not a new dis covery, since flower growers have for a quarter of a century added tea grounds to pots in the window as mulch, and the water dribbling through has been found to be a suffi-' cient stimulant to bring about in the flower most pleasing improvement
 Do you know some people hang up their religion with their go-to- meet ing ciothes-put il on and take it off once or twice week. They seem to regard it as an earthly garment in stead of a spiritual garment and an adornment instead of a moral code for every day use. There is nothing easy about a Christlike life. There is nothing that will create more violent opposition or more ardent admira tion. Christianity is force, and those who have a religion which does not lend decency and energy to their daily ac- ton haven't the real thing: but have been taken in with a counterfeit. Back of true religion lies the power of God.
 Many lovers of flowers cannot get along without a bed of seeding flowers to play with and some live farmers find pleasure and recreation in grow ing seedlings just for the little sur prises nature holds for them. The majority of seeds produce common place results. It is only now and then that something new. or better or won derful. is produced. The great grow CTS Of flowers are satisfied to produce one good commercial bloom to the hundred. for most seedlings are like something which has grown thou sands of times before. The finest crosses made in flowers have been produced by the insects from whom man learned the art of polinization. and at which he is not likely to be- come wizard. Few flowers care lessly grown seldom reproduce their kind And 9 single seed pod will pro- duce many odd forms and colors-
 We who reoard nature as being slow do not realize that the earth is rolling around upcn it's axis over Is miles a minute: that on its solar cir cle it is going at the rate or elSnt miles a second. specdv enough to cross this continent in three minutes: and that the whole stellar system is moving ten times as fast as we are! The whirls of life are something man makes little note of for they are be- yond his comprehension You and are held upon the earth by an at mospheric pressure of 20 tons. We are made up of ten million nerves. six hundred thousand cells and 40 miles of precipitation tubes. Our hearts beat 4,2o0 times an hour, and all the blood of the body passes through it every three minutes. Life is not only action, but a high rate of speed.
 We cannot always tell what under lies appearances. once knew young man who appeared to be gentleman of leisure. He was a poor mans son with a high ideal, and he used to rise early and do a days work before a. m., then Beau
