SOCIETY. Miss Ruth Thomas, assisted by Miss Melissa M. Parram, entertained the members of the T. C. G. C. club on last Sunday afternoon from three to six o'clock, at 4348 De Soto avenue. The occasion was a very enjoyable one, and was enhanced by the charming appearance of these extremely popular young ladies. The colors of the club, black and gold, were successfully carried out in the decoration on the rooms. A dainty menu, in keeping with the color scheme, was served in four courses. Later, a short musicale programme, consisting of both vocal and instrumental numbers, was enjoyed. A pretty affair of the past week was the informal birthday party on Thursday afternoon, of the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Thompson, of Texas avenue. The lovely little lady who celebrated her third anniversary, was the recipient of many congratulations and beautiful gifts. Quite an interesting meeting of the literary section of the St. Louis Woman's Club was held at the residence of Miss Lavinia Carter, of 2660 Morgan street, on Monday evening, June 1. Mrs S. P. Vashon pre ided. An interesting paper, "The New Woman," was read by Miss H. Georgiana Whyte. A selection from Paul Lawrence Dunbar was given by Mrs. Elmer Campbell and reading by Mrs. Mabel Jones. At the close of the meeting refreshments were served. Miss Minnie B. Jones, of St. Paul Minn., spent last week in our city, and made quite a favorable impression upon those who formed her acquaintance. Miss James was the guest of Miss Anna Parram on Sunday evening. Mrs. Louise Thompson, of Kansas City, Kan., is in the city visiting her mother and other relatives. The B. N. C. club gave a social on last Tuesday evening, at the residence of Miss Jessie Johnson, of 4212 Fairfax avenue which was largely attended. The marriage of Miss Carrie A. O'Fallon and Mr. Victor R. Smith on Wednesday was the notable social event of the present week. The ceremony was performed by Rev. C. M. C. Mason, rectory of All-Saints' Episcopal church, at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry O'Fallon, of 2008 John avenue. The pretty young girl, attired in an exquisite bridal gown, was attended by her sister, Miss Briide O'Fallon, in a beautiful costume of pink silk mull. Mr. Ernest Walker attended the groom as best man. The reception following the ceremony at bride's o'clock, was limited to the intimate friends and relatives of the bride and groom, whose circle of acquaintances is extensive. Mr. and Mrs. Zach Douglass, of 4254A North Market street, sent out cards this week for the marriage of their daughter, Nadine, and Mr. Wm. E. Mitchell, which will take place Tuesday, June 16th, at high noon. Miss Douglass is a charming and cultivated young lady who has many friends and is much admired by them.

The sight of some of our girls mounting men's bicycles, assisted by half-grown boys, is becoming a matter of common occurrence, and one to be regretted exceedingly. Girls are fast losing what little modesty they did pretend to have, and are convincing observers that modesty is a thing of the past. Some of them are to be seen riding around the streets during late hours of the night. The mothers of these girls have not the slightest idea as to their whereabouts, and apparently, do not exert themselves to find out. The saving of the Negro race depends upon its women and girls, and at the rate our girls are going, the future holds small hopes for its redemption. A Short Visit. Mr. Pastel, of Clarksville, Ky., was in St. Louis a few days ago. He stopped with Mrs. C. H. Tandy, of 1224 Bayard avenue. He spent a very pleasant time. Mrs. Tandy gave a dinner in honor of her guest. Among those present were: Messrs. C. H. Wheeler, Perkins, J. W. Wheeler, C. H. Tandy, and many others. Mr. Pastel will visit our city soon again.

Among the arrivals were: President E. Young, of Marion, Ind.; H. L. Taylor, First Vice-President, of Cleveland, O., and Norman Stark, of Eas St. Louis, Ill., National Secretary. After the meeting was called to order, the distinguished gentlemen were introduced by Edward Jones. President of Local No. 3. Each of the visiting officers related many valuable sayings on the labor movement in the great West. The party were entertained with a very delightful spread at the Ariett cafe, 2301 Morgan street. All free doings will hereafter be excluded from the Palladium. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Brown, of 4236 San Francisco avenue, gave a dinner Thursday, May 28, at 7:30 p. m., in honor of our popular president, Edward Young, of Marion, Ind., and our shrewd vice-president, H. L. Taylor, of Cleveland, O. Our International Secretary could not be present owing to sickness in his family. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Brown, in their cozy little cottage at the above number, in entertaining the representatives of the B. L. I. P. U., set a very interesting spread, consisting of many delicious things of the season. Among those present were Rev. R. H. Brown, Ben. Parks, Geo. Radeliff and H. Daneball. Don't forget the Masonic outing, June 21, by all the lodges.

Dr. Craddock has won quite a deal of praise in the neighborhood in which he lives by performing several very difficult operations. He has proven by these facts that he is an excellent surgeon. Ant doch B. Y. P. U. will meet with the First Baptist Church and Fifth Baptist Church unions at Fifth Baptist Church in their quarterly meeting, Sunday, June 7 at 5:30 p. m. A short programme will be rendered by each union. Antioeh Sunday School will open at 12:15 Sunday, the 7th, instead of 1 o'clock as the Superintendent, Attorney J. A. Smith, is to take a part in the dedication of the Old Folks' Home in south St. Louis. The Democratic party is using the ax on the Negro and putting white men in their places. Messrs. Rufus Sharpe, L. W. Vinegar, Ed. Perkins and Al. Harris have been discharged from the Sewer Department, not because they were Republicans, but because they were Negroes. The only answer the Sewer Department can deny this statemnt is to put Negroes in the places these men have held. In the First District Police Court, in the Old City Hall, E. M. Hawkins was discharged and a white man put in his place. Thus the Democratic principle is being carried out, and the hatred of the Negro displayed. Mr. W. W. Holman has recently returned from Peoria, Ill., where he has made arrangements for an enjoyable day to be spent by the many who take in the excursion given by the Afro-American Enterprise League on Saturday, June 20th, to that city. Mr. Daniel J. Ilegram, secretary of the Federal Clerks' Association, is making a very efficient officer. --- Mr. James L. Halley is cutting quite a dash with some of our young school teachers. When is it to be, Jim? The birthday party of little Miss Thomas was largely attended. Miss Thomas received quite a number of presents. Sme of them were very costly as well as useful. Mr. Wm. H. Owens, Jr., remarked that he was living like a millionaire last Saturday night. We wonder how he lives this Sunday? How about it, Bill? Mr. James C. Watkins and Mr. William D. McKoin leave on vacation on the 14th inst. They anticipate much pleasure. Mr. Thomas A. Jefferson will leave on his vacation on the 17th inst. He contemplates going to Chicago, Ill., and Detroit, Mich. Mrs. James, of St. Paul, Minn., passed through the city Sunday night enroute to her home. While in our city she was the guest of Miss Anna O. Parram. Mr. James B. Huston is nearly heart-broken over the coming marriage of the young lady he loves so well in South St. Louis. He does not eat. When our reporter called at his house Mr. Huston was out but his mother stated that he was muohly grieved over the affair; that he did not eat anything, and that he even brought half of his lunch home. Mr. Huston, when seen, stated that he could get the young lady if he wanted her, but we have heard the wind blow before, and we know what to expect. Mrs. Nettie Thomas, of Edwardsville, Ill., who has been sending a few days with her sister, Mrs. M. A. Lawrence, returned home Monday, June 1. The Ladies' Noonday Social Club will long remember the pleasant outing they had in Brooklyn, Ill., May 28. They will hold their next meeting with Mrs. R. S.

News Serves as a Text in of Negroes. J. RACE HATRED A NATIONAL SIN. for home and country and for an immortal principle. "I believe God will avenge their blood upon this nation unless it rights this great wrong, and I call upon the Christian ministry of the land, who are the watchmen in the high towers of God's sanctuary, to warn the people of the nation, and tell them of their sins. "They should teach their people that it is just as cruel to murder negroes, drive them from their homes, burn their property and refuse them the right to arm and protect themselves and families in America, because they are negroes, as it is to treat Jews the same way in Russia, because they Jews. "I do not deny that there are bad negroes. It is true that some of our people are guilty of serious crimes, and that they should be punished." "It is unjust, undemocratic, and, above all, unchristian, to disfranchise the negro, as is being done in some of the states, to deprive him of his civil rights, the right to sit as a juror, and to permit any organization to so discriminate against him as to prevent him from obtaining employment whenever and wherever his labor and skill are needed."—Globe-Democrat, Monday, June 1. BROOKLYN B. K. ST. PAUL'S A. M. E. CHAPEL. Will the police protect the people on Lawton avenue from baseball fanatics who take Lawton avenue every evening to play baseball against the wishes of the people and against the laws of the City of St. Louis? This nuisance is from Jefferson avenue to Beaumont street. Chief Desmond ought to send a detective on this route and stop this public nuisance. --- --- REV. D. P. ROBERTS, pastor of St. Paul's African M. E. Church, addressed a large audience Sunday morning on "Race Hatred as a National Sin." He selected as his text, Prov. xvi. 34: "Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people." He pointed to the eccent massacre of Jews in Russia, the persecution of the Christians in Turkey, and the frequent lynching and burning of negroes at the stake, in this country, as national crimes for which the nations responsible for them must atone, sooner or later, or share the fate of the "nations that have forgotten God." He appealed to the pulpit and press as the two most potent forces of modern times in the molding of public sentiment, and the enforcement of the law, to become more active in the correction of this national vice. "The gravest question with which the American people have to deal to-day is the 'race question.' It involves the inalienable rights of 9,000,000 of people, who, for the preservation of the Union, sacrificed upon the nation's altar 70,000 as brave and patriotic men as ever died THE HALL OF THE MUSEUM Will Celebrate June 21. The Metropolitan church will celebrate its 25th anniversary, beginning June 21st and running through to June 29th. Zion Methodism began in the West just 25 years ago, and the remarkable success of the denomination is to be seen in the splendid church edifice erected during that period. During the celebration Bishops and leading lights of all denominations will be here to assist in the grand historic event. E. D. W. JONES, D. D., Pastor. DR. CHAS. F. CREWS, President Board. st.

He would have been delighted to have been able to offer a reward of a mil- fio. He attempted to convince Miss (armody that it would be a good plan to make the reward $350,000, of which the Record should contrib- ‘ute $100,000, but she would not listen to it, and for the first time in his career the young journalist was dic- tated to by an outsider. “I will tell you what we will do,” he said, as he comprehended the pos- sibilities and rose to the occasion. ‘We have a large staff, but not large ough to meet this emergency. I will detail ten of our best men to ‘tis work, Then I will secure ten aiwelve of the best men from other Ye York papers. Then there are se famous detective reporters in Gago. We will have them.

All tres of sorrow and care had dis- appeared from her face. She sprang wher feet and grasped Mr. Chal- hers’ band, ‘There was nothing of Wwldness in this action, nor did Mr. Cinimers construe it as such. It was the joy natural to a generous-heart- td citl who loved her father and appreciated the hearty sympathy Which Mr, Chalmers expressed in his offer of co-operation. “You are just splendid!” she de- cared, her eyes dancing with excite- nent and pleasure, “I do not know how to thank you. You are rights ‘We are certain to find papa. Oh, if there was anything I could do!

Chalmers pinned it to the wall and stood off and admired it with the rapt expression of an art devotee lost in contemplation of a newly-discovered Raphael. “Print it in red,” he said to the foreman. “Run it clear across the page. Below we will string a solid row of six half-tone portraits of the | missing millionaires.” | Chalmers was a busy man during the two days following the interview with Miss Carmody. He detailed ten of his men to exclusive work on the mystery and at considerable expense secured 15 others from rival New York papers. Chicago was drawn on for five reporters, and he induced ten from other cities to join his newspaper detective force. This gave him a staff of 40 men. _ John L. Stevens, of Chicago, was ‘the most famous police and detective ‘reporter of the country, and, after an ‘interview with Mr. Chalmers, was ap- pointed chief-of-staf under the di- rect supervision of the managing editor. “I have no theory about this mys- tery, Jack,” said Chalmers, after they had discussed the case in all its de- tails. “I have certain vague susp!- cions, but they are not founded on facts, and they may be dismissed from consideration.” “By the way, has that man L. Syl vester Vincent been heard of?” “Who is he?” asked Chalmers. “You had a paragraph about bim yesterday,” said Stevens, “He Is ‘missing from the Broadway Central hotel. Has not been seen since Mon- day night. He may have something to do with it. Ihave sent a man to Chicago for his record.” Stevens went away and left Chal- ‘mers to- his reflections. ‘The man- ‘aging editor leaned back in his chair and gazed for a long time at the ceiling. Then he lit a cigarand blew rings of smoke at the wall above, as if to bombard it into a surrender of the secret. He placed his feet on the desk and allowed his mind to wander at will over the dark fields of the mystery. There was no thor- oughfare. Chalmers leaned back un- til the office chair threatened to fall. He then stood up, kicked it savagely, and paced up and down the room. “It's queer; mighty queer.” Me- chanically he picked up Mr. Van Horne’s cablegram and again read it. “‘Put Hestor to work on the case,’” he mused. “I will do right well putting Hestor to work on the case. I wish I knew where I could find him.” “Hestor came in here on Satur- day,” muttered Chalmers as he hurled a pile of unoffending exchanges in the direction of the waste basket. “He said he was compelled to make a hurried trip to Europe, and expected to sail on Monday or Tuesday in his yacht the ‘Shark.’ Queer chap, that Hestor. Of course it’s only # coin- cidence; but I cannot help thinking about it.” Chalmers paced up and gown the room with his head thrown back and his eyes half closed in thought. He attempted to recall every word and action of Hestor's during the days immediately preceding his departure. “It’s too deep for me," he said, as he returned to his desk and me- chanically picked up the Van Horne cablegram. “What docs Hestor want in the Mediterranean? How in thun- der am I going to reach him?” He turned the knob on the door to Hestor’s private office. It was locked, and Chalmers knew it was locked. He sent for the janitor. “Haye you a key to that door?” “No, sir. Mr. Hestor has the only key,” the janitor replied. “Take off the lock and put in a new one,” he said. “We must have a room for Mr. Stevens and some of his men. Hestor may be mad but I can’t help ite” "The door was soon opened and Chalmers entered. ‘The heavy oak ‘desk was closed. At the base of the door, opening into the hall, were a number of letters which had been dropped through a slit by the post- man. When Hestor returned from his long expeditions he frequently found a bushel basket full of ac- cumulated letters. ‘There were perhaps a dozen let- ters now lying on the floor. Chal- mers picked them up and looked at the inscriptions. Three were in dainty white envelopes and sealed with wax. Chalmers glanced at them and threw them back om tho floor. One bore the name of a big grocery house. Another was from a liquor house. A third from a fur- niture establishment. Yet another was from a billiard table manufac- turer. The fifth contained the ad dress of a dealer in smoked and can- ned meats. There was one from @ manufacturer of awnings, one from ‘a piano house, and another from a dealer in guns, fishing tackle and cuauting woods. There were several “Hestor is quite a business man,” mused Chalmers as he sorted over the letters. “These are bills. I know 8 bill as a eat knows his home. Bills for stuff on his yacht, I suppose. Very likely. I wonder what they are. There is a way to find out, and I am going to do it. This is all wrong, perhaps, but I am going to find out if there is anytling in my suspicions. Hestor is a queer fish. He left New York the night these men disap- peared. Where did he go? Why did he go? Van Horne wants him to work on this case. It is my duty to locate him. Hestor would be glad to take hold of a mystery like this. It is right in his line.” Mr. Chalmers sent for a reporter named Benson, a cautious, self-pos- sessed gentleman who could extract information from sources barren to all but the select few who are mas- ters of the art. It was not necessary to waste words with Benson, He thoroughly understood his business. “Here are some business addresses, Benson,” said Chalmers, handing him a slip of paper. “I promised Mr. Hestor I would attend to certatn pills as they became due. Go to these ss, iy Me af (IU AP} Se a houses and ask for itemized state- ments of any bills against Mr. Hes- tor. If necessary explain that Mr. Hestor has suddenly been detailed to work abroad and that through‘an oversight he neglected to leave the key to his room where his mail ts delivered. You should have no diffi culty. Merchants seldom object to the prompt settlement of accounts, ‘This is a personal matter, concern- ing no other member of the staff.” Mr. Benson bowed, said not a word and quietly left the room. Late in the afternoon he was admitted to Mr. Chalmer’s offiee. He produced from a deep inside pocket a small package and handed it to Chalmers. “There they are,” he said. “All of them?” ( Mr. Benson nodded an affirmative, turned on his heel and vanished. Mr. Chalmers examined the slips with much interest. ‘The first one was from a furniture house. It was an itemized bill for a long list of articles, among which were the fol- lowing: Twelve brass bedsteads..@$ 40.00 $ 480.00 Twelve hair mattresses... 3.00 ” 420.00 Thirty-six chales cesses 400 1400 Twenty-four chaltseecrecr., 600 4400 Twelve leather sofas...) 75.00 90.00 Two leather sofas ccs... 25.00 20.00 Twelve center tables ....... 40.00 49.00 One dining table seeccsssss sense 99000 One sideboard luce ce 0.00 Two library cases... 1380) 950.00 Twelve wlilow rockers..... 10.00 120.00 Twelve PUES ecrcvssssssc... 6000 130.00 One TUS esecscssrccserersses acres 36000 Four writing desks s....... 100.00 400,00 Miscellaneous furniture ss. sso. 1,008.00 $6,958.00 Chalmers studied these items long and earnestly. “Looks as if Hestor had started a hotel or boarding house,” reflected the managing editor. “A 12-room boarding house. ‘That is not the kind of furniture he would put up in a New York house, He has his own bachelor apartment. I have been im it scores of times. It:is full of fur niture, and mighty fine furniture.” He read and reread the furniture bill. ‘Then he leaned back in his chair and invoked the resources of a memory trained to its work and responsive as the muscles of an ath- lete or the fingers of a virtuoso. “It is about a year,” he reflected, “since Hestor invited Bob Van Horne, Blake and myself to dinner at the Waldorf, and after dinner we went to his apartment. He was loquaciously mysterious about some house he was building. Bob Van Horne had been talking about a summer joint he was going to erect out on Long Island. Hestor said he was building one which would make Bob’s look like 30 cents. He raved about the scenery and all that. Seems to me as if he said something about palm trees. Bob asked him where it was, and he shut up like a clam.” Chhlmers reflected. “He said ‘palm trees’ all right. Seems to me as if he said something about alligators. ‘Then he closed up and said noth- ing.” (Chalmers éxaniined the other state- ments. They were bills of various kinds—for stocks of canned goods, ‘smoked meats, condensed milk and the multitudinous articles which would be used by a well equipped camping party. They were dated between the 25th and 29th of April, and were rendered on the first of the month, It was late in the afternoon when he was through with this work. About 31 o'clock that night Chal mers received a telegram from Mr. Bernard Seymour dated from Chi- cago. Mr. Seymour had been detailed by Jack Stevens to hunt up the Chi- cago record of L. Sylvester Vincent, Seymour was first heard of in the following bulletin, filed in Chicago at eight o'clock that. night. Chicago, May 8, To William Chalmers, Managing Haitor the New York. Record: L. Sylvester Vincent 1s the kidnapper, He formed plan in Chicago two months ‘ago.

BERNARD SEYMOUR Chalmers wired the impetuous Seymour to send nothing except a brief statement of the facts he had learned; not for publication, but for the private information of Mr. Ste- vens and himself. Chalmers then wired Stevens to put his men at work at Provincetown, and return to New York at once. He received a tele- phone message from Miss Carmody asking him to call at her residence if convenient, and in 15 minutes an automobile landed him at the Car- mody mansion. He found Miss Carmody with Miss Edith Le Roy, Miss De Neuville and Mrs. Isabel White, the latter being the widowed aunt of Miss Carmody, and a most charming chaperone to that young lady. Mr. Chalmers was acquainted with all the ladies ex- cept Mrs, White. All were eager for the latest news. Mr. Chalmers repeated Mr. Van Horne’s instrue- tions about the reward, and dis- played a copy of the headlines and the leading article for the following day. He told what had been done in the way of forming a detective staff. “We now have 40 men detailed ex- ‘clusively to this work,” he said, “Ten are with Mr, Stevens at Prov ineetown and others are at various points selected by Mr. Stevens and myself. I know you ladies will ex- use me if I ask for a few minutes" private conversation with Miss Car- mody. We must all do what we can to advance her interests, and this ia a matter in which she is especially concerned, and no precautions can be omitted.” “Certainly we will excuse you,” said Mrs. White. “Why, of course,” said Miss Le Roy and Miss De Neuville. But these young ladies were devoured of curl osity and would have given anything quietly to have stepped into the ad- joining room and overheard the sub- dued conversation between Miss Car mody and the managing editor. Chalmers briefly recited the story of L, Sylvester Vincent and told of the telegram he had received from Seymour at Chicago. “This is a clew well worth follow- ing,” said Mr. Chalmers. “I do not sup- pose you have ever heard your fath- er speak about a man named Vin- cent?” Miss Carmody was sure that her father had never mentioned the name. It was an odd one and she would have remembered it. “Did Mr. Vincent ever call here? Your butler or footman might know.” Miss Carmody rang a bell. A ser- vant appeared. “Tell Smith I wish to see him,” said Miss Carmody. “Do you keep the cards of all who call on Mr. Carmody?” asked Miss Carmody as the butler stood in the doorway. “Yes, Miss "Elen.” “Bring me the cards which have been received in the past three or four weeks.” ‘The butler bowed, disappeared, and soon returned with a formidable as- sortment of cards. ‘These were spread out on the table, and Miss Carmody and Mr. Chalmers began an examination of them. [To ‘Be Continued? f BUT SCANT PRAISE. Honest Effort That Was Not Sut+ fllently Appreciated to En- courage a Renewal. ‘The old saying that “praise to the face is open disgrace” is still firmly believed by some people. A young woman who was brought up by her New England grandmother, a notable housekeeper and example of thrift, says that the adage was a house- hold guide in her family, relates am exchange. ‘One day her grandmother went off to pay a visit and the ambitious girl of 18 scrubbed and polished, swept and dusted until it seemed as if there was nothing left to do. Her heatt beat high with the hope of a word of commendation as she sat in the kitchen doorway, waiting for her grandmother's return. When the old lady arrived she looked about her with keen eyes, but there seemed no chance for criticism, until, stooping down under the Kitehen table, which stood near the open door, she saw that the south wind had wafted a bit of fluff from the henyard. With eyes that would twinkle in spite of herself, she pointed an ac- cusing finger at this evidence of care- lessness, and said, soberly: “Janet, my dear, I see there’s a feather in the kitchen. It's high time I came home!” NS ae et Nadel a “I didn't know you were an Elk,” said a man, after shaking hands in Broadway with an acquaintance whom he had not seen for several weeks. “I am not an Elk,” replied the one addressed. “In fact I do not belong to any secret order. Why did you say that?” “But you gave me the ‘grip,’” per- sisted the friend. “How did you know it?” “Must be pure accidert,” saié the other, according to the New York Mail and Express. “I hurt my hand the other day, and although it is only a slight bruise it pains like thunder when I shake hands. To protect the wound I have fallen into the habit of doubling my fingers in a certain tay when I shake hands. Now I know why so many of my friends have te- sponded to my greeting with a pe- culiar pressure.

Habit of Criticism, Nothing more retards spiritual growth or more effectually, blights the joy of life than a habit of criticism and depreciation. Mozley says in his “Uni- versity Sermons,” “a life of enmities is greatly in opposition to growth in holiness;” but much more than that, even the habit of discovering and em- phasizing what we may regard as the seamy side of men, things and events is. intensely unwholesome and injurious. ‘That depreciative criticism is hurtful we may soon perceive by watching its influence upon our own heart. James Smetham writes to a correspondent: “Don’t get into the focus of criticism. Many men spoil their enjoyment of art by looking on it as something to pull in pieces rather than as something to en- Joy and lead them to enjoy nature and through nature to enjoy God. How wretched is that feverish, satiated, complaining sprit of criticism. Never contented, never at rest.” By this self-same spirit of determined faultfinding, says the Wesleyan Meth- odist Magazine, we not only spoil the enjoyment of art, but our enjoyment of everything. Of course, we must dis- criminate between the qualities and volues of things; life would be insipid, and we should miss its great teach- ings, without constant criticism of character and affairs, but it is singu- larly difficult to preserve criticism pure and generous. Base alloys read- ily mingle with it. We complainof the weather, the climate or the scenery, when there is no ground whatever for querulousness; our faultfinding is not the expression of an exacting sense of | beauty, as we flatter ourselves, but simply ignorance, ingratitude and ir- reverence. We complain of the mo- notonousness, meanness and misery of our lot, and suppose that such criti- cism is the revolt of a great soul dom- inated by noble ideals; the fact being that our discontent is bred of blind- ness, pride and unthankfulness. We complain of the doings and achieve- ments of our fellows, insisting on their general unworthiness; and although we delude ourselves that our criticism is purely impersonal and intellectual and wholly inspired by:a love of per- fection, God knows that our harsh judgments are sicklied o'er with envy, jealousy and uncharitableness. Noth- ing is more difficult than to preserve criticism sweet, reasonable and gen- erous. ‘The habit of running things down is no sign of mental superiority, al- though many think so; it is far oftener an indication of mental impotence and obliquity. ‘The monkey,” according to Mr. Lockwood Kipling, “has a pas- sion for picking things to pieces; but that passion is not characteristic of really able men. “Intelligent men are easily pleased,” testifies the ‘Turkish proverb; and itis true. Without ques- tion the highest intellects are specially appreciative. We prove the quality of our genius not by cavil and detraction, not by: unwillingness to be pleased and a readiness to censure, but by doing some worthy thing handsomely. As Drummond puts it: “It is easier tocrit- icise the best thing superbly than to do the smallest thing indifferently.” ‘To blow upon people, to carp at their ‘endeavors and to handle things gener- ally in a fastidious and disparaging spirit, is the sure sign of a mean and narrow intellect. Neither is the habit of picking holes in our brethren any evidence of moral and spiritual superi- ority. “‘And Jesus spake also this parabe unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous and set all others at nought.” That was the sting of their condemnation— “they despised others,” they: “set all others at nought.” Tt was chiefly this habit of depreciation that branded them as being superficial and false. To suspect men, to impute to them poor motives, to construe their actions un- charitably and to be niggardly of en- couragement and praise, is to discover ‘and perpetuate the hollowness of our own character. ‘Ah! too easily do we get “into the focus of criticism,” and it chills our whole being and life. It is possible to be angry without sin, but only rare saints in rare moments touch that fire without being burned; and while it is possible to criticise in the pure love of truth, such eriticisia remains a dan- gerous ordeal even to the saintliest. Whenever we diagnose, disapprove and condemn, we need to be richly satu- ‘sated with the spirit of our Master, if We ourselves are not to be the worse for the unpleasant task. There is something in all stricture that is close kin to the worst elements of our aa- ture. And yet how readily and largely do we yield torthis tendency! Looking on the wonderful world, we see littl: to extol; subjects of @ marvelous Divine government, we chiefly demur to its ordinations; intrusted with the oracles of God replete with sublime treasures, we spend far more time ja analyzing and deerying their contents ‘than we do in glorifying him who has ‘thus made the light to shine in our ‘darkness. Oh for the gift of visio that we might behold the teeming marvels and delights of this fair earth whose most modest shapes are rich in bloom and beauty! Oh for the gift of faith and ove, that we might interprettruly the events of life and find in each a theme for a delectable song! Oh for the heavenly charity which can recognize in our brethren patience, kindness and heroism, when a niggling intellect can see nothing but imperfection and failure! Oh that we might behold with open face the goodness of God in Jesus Christ and live in the spirit of adoring wonder and loving consecration! If we do not grow in grace let us turn over a new leaf; let us try the focus of appreciation instead of that of criticism; let us be freer to see the beautiful, to appreciate the good, to praise the high; and if we are only humble, sympathetic and pure, the glory and joy of life will stand freshly revealed in everything, the law of praise will be on our lips and in the genial glow we shall grow as flowers ‘and palms in the sua. SELF-LOVE. Not the Same Quality as Selfishness, Dat the Seeking of the Higher ghcua an Makes It seems to be a very common notion that self-love is a thing absolutely pro- hibited by the teaching of our Lord. But, says the Nashville Christian Ad- vocate, we do not so read the record of His utterances. As a matter of fact He distinctly recognizes self-love as @ thing allowable. Nay, He goes so far ‘as to make it a primary duty. No one will deny that He requires us to love our neighbors; but it must also be kept im mind that He requires us ‘to love ‘them in the same sense as we ought to love ourselves. That would be an im- ‘possibility, a mere straining after an end beyond the limit of the attainable. But what is the self-love that we are allowed to cherish? Certainly it is not the sameas selfishness. The two things are often confused in thought, but are wholly distinct in fact. Perhaps it would be better to say that selfishness is the exaggeration of scif-love, the abnormal and unnatural growth of a natural and innocent instinct. A ra- ‘tional self-love may be known by these LG: marks: First, it never fails to choose the higher ends of life in pref- erence to the lower, the things which are spiritual rather than the things which lie within the sphere of sense, duty instead of pleasure, honorinpref- erence to gratification; and, secondly. since it knows that it can derive no real and permanent good.from injuring another, it is as careful of the rights and interests of others as it is of its own welfare, Selfishness, on the contrary, often takes the lower road and chooses the inferior good. It lives in the world of sense and in the present hour and is so much concerned to secure immediate delights that it loses sight of the larger issues which the future holds, It is likewise blind to everything ex- cept its own supposed interests; it cares nothing for the rest of mankind, but rides roughly and coarsely over everybody and everything that gets in the way. A selfish man cannot be a good Christian; if he be radically and profoundly selfish, he cannot be a Christian at all. RELIGIOUS TRUTHS. “Actions speak louder than words,” but words make the most noise— United Presbyterian. When a man is willing to go to Heaven alone he must surely be mis taken as to his destination—Ram’s Horn. I have always observed the thread of life to be like othér threads or skeins of silk, full of snarls and encum- brances.—George Herbert. One thing is clear to me, that no in- dulgence of passion destroys the spir- itual nature so much as respectable selfishness.—George MacDonald. ‘The smallest things become great when God requires them of us; they are small only in themselves; they are always great when they are done for God, and when they serve to unite us with Him eternally.—Fenelon. Do not draw back from any way be- cause you never have passed there be- fore. ‘The truth, the task, the joy, the suffering on whose border you are ‘standing, oh, my friend, to-day go into it without a fear; only go into it with God who has been always with you.— Phillips Brooks. To accept the inevitable; neither to struggle against it nor murmur at it, simply to bear it—this is the great lesson of life—above all to a women. It may come late or early and the jearning of it is sure to be hard; bus she will never Be a really happy woman until she has learned it—Dinah Muloel, Craik. “o my God, grant me” (so they are taught to pray ig some monasteries in France), “grant me that to-day I may be of some use to some one.” Hf God, for our good, see fit to deny us all else, may He, as His best gift to all, grant us this—to be of some real, of some deep use to our fellow men, before we go hence and are no more seen—Dean ‘Ferraz.

Annie Peglow, of No. 3016 Missouri avenue, claims to be the only woman pressman in the United States, says the St. Louis Republic. For five years she has operated two cylinder presses at 314 North Third street. The firm considers her one of its best workmen. Miss Peglow entered the employ of the company 20 years ago as a press feeder. At that time women press feeders were a novelty, but since many girls have entered that branch of the printing business, and now some of the larger printing companies hire hundreds of women press feeders. Running a cylinder press was never thought of as woman's work until it occurred to Miss Peglow. None has tried it since. She was an enthusiastic printer and she determined to learn all about the business. "I just 'nosed' about until I 'caught on'; then I began to try and convince my boss that I was as good a pressman as any of the men and finally I got a trial, which proved successful, and here I am," is the way she explains her presence before her two big machines. She belongs to Pressmen's Union No. 6. In order to allow her to enter the union the international body of pressmen allowed their constitution to be amended so as to admit her. It caused quite a little discussion at the time. Miss Pegglow does not attend the meetings of her local, however. She leaves the transaction of all union business to the men and abides by MISS PEGLOW AT WORK. their decisions. She does not attend the meetings because she is the only woman member and her presence there alone, she thinks, would appear too bold. Every morning at 8 o'clock she appears before her machines, dons her blue calico dress, which is made of cloth similar to the goods used in jumpers and overalls, and superintends the turning out of the large printed sheets. She excels in color work which embraces two, three or more colors, and is considered especially good in dainty work, which she is always consulted about by the heads of the firm. Although elbowing men all day long in pursuit of her duties, Miss Peglow says she cannot agree with Mrs. Claxon and her ideas on the "Ideal Wife" or the deterioration of chivalry. "I do not think," said she, "because a woman works for a living that it detracts a particle from her womanly graces; neither do I think that a woman that works is not as good a housewife as the girl who spends all her time at home. I think to get out in the world and work serves to broaden one's ideas, and I am sure some of the workers appreciate their homes a great deal more from the fact that they are at home so little. To work shows one how fortunate the woman who does not have to work really is. "As to men losing their chivalry—I don't believe it; at least, I have not experienced it, and I meet a great many men in my business every day." TO KEEP PRETTY HANDS. If You Pay Attention to This Bunch of "Don't's" You Can Have Them the Year Around. Don't polish nails too highly; they should have only a natural gloss. Too much polishing makes them tender. Don't polish nails without first rubbing on a little rose-tinted paste. Use the palm of the hand to polish. Don't cut nails without first holding them in warm water or sweet oil. Don't cut them too often, or they will become thick and ugly. Don't cut the cuticle or any part of the flesh around the nails. Don't cut the nails in points, but let them be carefully arched. Don't use a file or emery paper on the flat surface of the nail, but only on the elge, to level it. Don't dry the hands with a towel, but with a silk handkerchief, which absorbs moisture more readily. Don't wear gloves every night, or the hands will become yellow. Occasional use of gloves, however, is advisable. Don't use ammonia in the bath without applying a cold cream afterward. Don't let the hands hang down, or the blood will fill and stretch the veins. Don't forget that warm feet have much to do with white hands. When the feet are habitually cold, the hands are always red or blue.—Washington Star. CHARMING OLD LADY. The Original of Charles Dickens "Little Dorrit" Recalls Novelist's Happy Youth. Who that has read Dickens has not loved and admired the "child of the Marshallsea," the sweet and charming Little Dorrit? All of us have loved her as a child of a bygone age, yet still "Little Dorrit" is amongst us, hearty and well. Mrs. Mary Ann Cooper, of Southgate, now in her nineteenth year, is the original of Dickens' famous character, although the life depicted in the book cannot be said to correspond with her own, for Mrs. Cooper herself was never in that dreary debtors' prison. She was born on November 27, 1813, in Hatton Garden, her father being a well-to-do farmer named Mitton, who also had a place at Sunbury, at which Dickens' in his early youth was a frequent visitor. The bed MRS. MARY COOPER. (Charming Old Lady Who Is the Original of Dickens' "Little Dorritt.") "Little Dorrit" now sleeps on at Southgate is one Charles Dickens slept on there. A few years later the Mittons were living in Johnson street, Clarendon square, and a house directly opposite was occupied by the Dickens family. There began the acquaintance with "My Charles," as the old lady calls the novelist. Mrs. Cooper's brother was a school fellow of Dickens, and would assist him in his literary work by correcting manuscripts, as in later years he assisted him in law matters. Between Mary Ann and Charles the closest friendship—almost ripening into something more—sprang up, and the old lady is never tired of telling their adventures and misadventures in the heyday of youth—how they would call at a little place in the Hampstead road, where Cecil Rhodes' grandfather, "a grumpy old man," would serve them with milk; how after church he would take her for a walk to "New St. Pancras church" for the special purpose of staring at and taking off the pompous beadle who used to strut about its precincts—Dickens imitating his walk and bearing, to the delight of others, but to the great indignation of this prototype of Bumble; how Dickens was out walking when he met a procession of school girls from a sedate boarding school, headed by a particularly prim and severe principal, and how, seeing an old apple woman, Dickens bought up her stock and slyly slipped two apples into the hands of each girl and stood by when the horrified principal discovered her "very select" establishment munching apples in the street. Once when staying at Mrs. Cooper's home at Sunbury, Charles went out, and borrowing some old clothes, disguised himself as a farm laborer in search of work, and so clever was his makeup that he completely deceived the shrewd farmer, who, not having work for him, was prevailed upon to allow him a place and some straw in one of his barns, where he might pass the night. Dickens had a habit of giving nicknames to his friends and relatives, as he had a way of giving literary names to his sons; his name for Miss Mitton was Little Dorrit. "Why did he give you this name?" I asked, and the old lady said: "I really cannot say. It seemed to come; at any rate, I only recollect that somehow I was always 'Dorrit' with Charles." "And how did you come to get into the Marshalsea, and be famous ever afterwards?" "Well, I can't exactly say, but as I have told you, Charles and I were, I think I may say, very fond of one another, and one day at home he told us: 'The next book I write I shall put you in it, and I shall call it 'Little Dorrit.' Thus his next work was named.' Now, in her ninetieth year, Mrs. Cooper is lively and quick, although she has had some serious accidents in the course of her long life. Once she was thrown from her horse and dragged for three-quarters of a mile. She has suffered, too, from rheumatism, and is rather deaf. Mrs. Cooper has been a widow for over 20 years, and now lives alone—in a little room crammed with flowers and fancies, and a chimney corner which is a perfect gallery of portraits, with a notable one, of course, of "Mary Charles." Over the mantelpiece is one of those curious old "samplers" which our grandmothers used so laboriously to produce, made by "Mary Ann Mitton, aged nine, February, 1822."—London Black and White. Recipe for Indian Muffins. Indian muffins are most delicious when eaten hot and fresh with butter. This recipe for them is simple: Pour boiling water on a quart of corn meal, stir it thoroughly till it forms a thick batter. When it has cooled a little, add a tablespoonful of yeast, two well-beaten eggs and a tablespoonful of salt. Set the dough to rise in a warm place for two hours, then butter some square tin pans and fill them two-thirds full with dough and bake in a quick oven. YOUTHS' DEPARTMENT FINDING A WAY.

An Interesting Little Apparatus That Is Made Chiefly of Empty Egg Shells and Straws. The paper straws that are used at most soda fountains nowadays are more easily obtained, if you live in the city, than real straws, and they are also stronger and more reliable. Or small glass tubes may be used. For the shells goose eggs are better than hens' eggs, as they are larger and the shells are thicker and less brittle. The shells are emptied through small holes bored in each end. A short straw is inserted in one end of one shell and pushed in nearly to the opposite end, in which a longer straw is inserted and pushed nearly to the first end. The other end of the long straw just enters one of the holes in the sec- A FOUNTAIN AND A CIRCUS. ond shell, the other hole being left open. tThe joints between the shells and straws are made water tight with wax. To avoid confusion we will call the egg with two straws A and the egg with one straw and an open hole B. Hold the apparatus with B above and pour water into the hole in B. The water does not fill B, but passes through the long straw to A, which it nearly fills before it reaches the inner end of the short straw and begins to flow out below. If you stop pouring at this point, you have A nearly full of water and Bempty, or rather full of air. Now turn the whole affair end for end and plunge it into a deep vessel of water until A, which is now on top, is submerged and only the short straw rises above the water. Immediately you see a little jet of water spouting from the straw. This may puzzle you, but the explanation is simple. At B, which is submerged rather deeply, there is a good deal of pressure. The water of the jar is forced into B, and therefore the air is forced into A, from which in turn, it expels the water through the short straw. The little fountain continues to play until A is empty and B is full. To renew the experiment, you have only to take the apparatus out, invert it to allow the water to flow from B to A, invert it again, and replace it in the jar. But the effect is prettier and more striking if A is filled in the first place with colored water. Then you have a colored fountain rising from the jar of colorless water. If you wish to repeat this experiment, you must, of course, empty the apparatus and recharge it with colored water—a different color if you choose. So much for the fountain; now for the circus. Bore a hole half-way through a cork in the direction of its length, and from the cured surface bore other holes, two, three or four, at equal distances, to meet the central hole. To these side holes fit straws or tubes bent at right angles all in the same (circular) direction, and fit the short straw of the egg fountain to the central hole. Fill the fountain and put it in the jar as before, but support A by a perforated cork beneath it and ballast B with a little bag of shot or otherwise, so that the apparatus will float in an upright position without being held. Now the water flows out of the bent tubes, and the whole apparatus revolves. The effect is improved by attaching a couple of paper horsemen, as shown in the picture—Brooklyn Eagle. To eye strain, usually unsuspected, Dr. George M. Gould attributes much of human misery. He finds evidence that it was indirectly responsible for the opium habit of De Quiney, caused the morbidcondition and breakdowns of Carlyle, and gave Browning his headaches and vertigo. Printing books in white ink on black paper is a suggested means for lessening eye strain. BETRAYED BY A DOG. Sagacious Animal Guides Party to Scene of Crime and Thus Convicts the Assassin. An Italian woodcutter has just been sentenced to penal servitude for life for murder, and the conviction is due to a dog. A carefully prepared plan came to naught because of the animal's sagacity. Cassinelli, the woodcutter, was employed by a Frenchman, Jean Bonati. They had had a disagreement about wages. One day last winter the woodcutter appeared at the Bonati home with his ax and asked Mme. Bonati where her husband was. She was surprised at his appearance, and told him her husband had gone to look for him in the forest. The woodcutter disappeared, but came again the next day, saying that he had spent the day in the woods trying to find Bonati and had been unsuccessful. Alarmed by that, Mme. Bonati called for aid, and a searching party was organized. The Italian, who was familiar with the forest, undertook to guide the party, and they proceeded to traverse the woods in all directions. Bonati's dog, which had gone into the woods with his master, but which had returned the evening of the day he disappeared, was with the searchers. Finally the animal, in the heart of the forest, suddenly left the party and started in another direction. The Italian was endeavoring to lead the searchers in quite a different direction, and he tried to call the dog back, without success. The searchers became suspicious, observing the manner of the man and the actions of the dog. They decided to follow the animal, and as they turned aside the Italian burst into tears. As they followed the dog they saw it run up a broad slope and come to a dense thicket. Into this it penetrated, and the searchers forced their way in after it. When the dog saw that it had been followed it began scratching at a mound of dirt and leaves. Ready hands soon came to its assistance, and underneath the pile was discovered the body of the dead Bonati with ten great knife wounds as evidence of how he met his death. Cassinelli was accused of the crime and brought to trial. Breaking down, he admitted having killed his employer, but asserted that the fight had been begun by Bonati and that he used the knife to defend himself. His description of the battle there in the thicket was vivid and the jury, considering that there might have been extenuating circumstances, held him guilty of premeditated assassination, but placed the sentence at life imprisonment instead of death. The man after he had killed his employer had forgotten the dog, which was the only witness to the crime. SIMPLE LEAF PRINTING. One of the Mont Delightful Pastimes in Which Bright Boys and Girls Can Engage. Any boy or girl may readily take a perfect impression of a leaf, or even of a cluster of leaves, with very little trouble, and it will look about as nice as an engraving. Take a piece of fine writing paper, and oil it well with either lard or sweet oil. Let it stand long enough for the oil to soak through, and then, having wiped off the superfluous oil with a bit of paper, hang the oiled piece in the air to dry. When the oil is well dried in, move the paper slowly over a lighted candle horizontally, so as to touch the flame. DESIGN FOR LEAF PRINTING. and keep this up until the paper is perfectly black with the soot. Lay the blackened paper on a table, and on it a leaf of which you wish an impression. Put a piece of clean paper over the leaf and rub it with your finger equally in all parts for half a minute. This will transfer the soot to the leaf, just as a printer puts ink on type. Take the leaf up very carefully, and just as carefully lay it, blackened side down, on the paper on which you wish to have the impression; then place a piece of blotting paper over the leaf, and rub it with your finger for a few moments, when you will have an impression that will look about as well printed as an engraving. The blackened paper will serve for quite a number of impressions, and a very pretty collection of leaves may thus be made—Brooklyn Eagle. Silk from a Shell Fish. Silk is obtained from the shell-fish, known as the pinna, which is found in the Mediterranean. This shell-fish has the power of spinning a viscid silk, which in Sicily is made into a regular and very handsome fabric. The silk is spun by the shell-fish, in the first instance, for the purpose of attaching itself to the rocks. It is able to guide the delicate filaments to the proper place, and there glue them fast, and if they are cut away it can reproduce them. The material, when gathered, is washed in soap and water, dried, straightened and carded, one pound of the coarse filament yielding about three ounces of fine thread, which, when spun, is a lovely burnished gold- brown color. Nervous Prostration The Ills of Women Act upon the Nerves like a Firebrand. The relation of woman's nerves and generative organs is very close; consequently nine tenths of the nervous prostration, nervous despondency, "the blues," sleeplessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some derangement of the organism which makes her a woman.

BAILEY HAS ISSUED AN APPEAL. The Situation at Topeka Materially Better So Far as the Water in Concerned, But Relief and Rehabilitation of the Homeless is the Problem Now Presented. Topeka, Kas., June 3.—The Commercial club at noon, Tuesday, voted to ask for outside aid for the flood sufferers. Monday the club voted that no aid from outside would be accepted, but the distress of the people is so great that the community can not provide for all, and so the charity of the country is appealed to. This action was taken after an address by Gov. Bailey, who has just returned to the city from Mound City, where he has been waterbound since last Thursday. The governor pointed out to the club the necessities of the suffering people and the inability of the community to provide properly for them and relieve their wants, and said that while he wanted to work in harmony with the townspeople and its charitable organizations, he saw his duty clearly and he would soon issue a proclamation calling on the charitable people of the country to send aid in the form of money. THE SITUATION BETTER. The Work of Relief and Rehabilitation the Problem Now Presented. Topeka, Kas., June 3.—The flood situation in Topeka to-day can be briefly summarized thus: Known dead, 48. River now receding at rate of two inches an hour. Distress great among the refugees Gov. Bailey issues a proclamation calling for help for flood sufferers of the state. Fifty deputy sheriffs armed with Winchester rifles go to North Topeka to protect property, with orders to shoot looters whenever they are caught stealing. Gov. Bailey's proclamation calling for outside aid was decided upon at a mass meeting Tuesday, when the governor was requested to issue the call. It was decided to make this a general appeal for the people all along the flooded districts of the state, as well as in Topeka. The plan is to make Topeka headquarters and to distribute the aid from here to the other parts of the state. There will be this general appeal made, an appeal through the fraternal organizations and other appeals through various sources. A meeting of the representative people of North Topeka who are on the south side was held Tuesday to arrange for systematic protection of property in North Topeka. Immediately after the meeting a large number of armed men left in boats for the north side, where they will guard property, and their orders are to shoot. The river is three feet below high water mark. The fall is plainly indicated on the Seymour building at Kansas and Crane streets. The water has receded on Kansas avenue to the platform of the Rock Island depot—a distance of 250 feet. It is the opinion of experts that the river will go down rapidly from now on. The Blue the Republican and the Solomon have spent their force, and the volume of water spread over the Kaw bottom will hunt its channel quickly. The situation in the flood-streken districts is better than it has yet been for the reason that fewer people are marooned in houses, trees and on islands. Nobody now is clinging to trees. Those who had to cling either were rescued or dropped into the river. There is no way of getting at the amount of damage done by the flood in Topeka and vicinity. The damage may reach $2,000,000. It may go beyond that. It may be much less. Crops in the Kansas bottom are destroyed. This makes an enormous loss to farmers. Gov. Bailey has communicated with the federal authorities, and believes he will have no trouble in securing the use of whatever tents are needed. Reassurling Advice. While great inconvenience resulted from the city water being shut off and the ice plants flooded, wells over the city are numerous, and cisterns filled with good water are plentiful. The gas and electric plants continue to run, and street car traffic is continued in South Topeka. The question of provisions, which seemed a serious problem at first, is growing brighter as the waters recede from around the big wholesale mercantile houses along the river front. The Wolf Packing Co. have erected a temporary slaughterhouse, and thus settled the fresh meat problem for the time being. AN ENTIRE GARRISON OUT.

Finally, all the troops in the city were ordered to take part is telling the disturbance. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson in the International Series for June 7, 1903—Paul's Voyage and Shipwreck. THE LESSON TEXT. (Acts 7:32-44) 83. And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing. 84. Wherefore I pray you to take some meat; for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you. 85. And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all; and when he had broken it, he began to eat. 86. Then were all good cheer, and they also took some meat. 87. And we were in all in the ship two hundred three score and sixty-six souls. 38. And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea. 38. And when it was day, they knew not the land; but they discovered a certain creek in a shore, into which they were minded. If it were possible, to thrust in the ship. 40. And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted up the mansail to the wind, and made shore. 40. And failings to a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmovable, with the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves. 42. And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should assume the role. 43. But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land: 44. And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.

He had appealed his case to the emperor, and was waiting to be sent to Rome for trial. In this lesson the voyage begins. In studying this voyage, remembering that he was a prisoner, think what kind of a man Paul must have been to have gained such influence on board the ship. Paul was one of a number being sent to Rome under guard at this time. At Myra the convoy of prisoners was transferred to one of the Alexandrian grain ships bound for Rome. The ship encountered head winds most of the time. "The Fast" (day of Atonement) was late in September or early in October, according to the year. During the winter, navigation was discontinued entirely. Note several things in verses 9-12 showing that a meeting was held to discuss what was best to do. Paul was an important man and a great traveler for those days, and was present at the council. "Euraquilo" is from Euros, the east wind, and Aquilo, the north wind. Compare our expression, a "northeaster." "The boat" (v. 16) was the small boat towed behind the ship. For "lowered the gear," we should say "shortened sail." "The Syrtis" was the much dreaded quicksand along the African coast. The storm had lasted nearly two weeks. Officers and crew had given themselves up for lost, and were doing nothing when Paul came to the rescue, and, calm, clear-headed and confident, succeeded in rallying the men to renewed effort. Notice how Paul seems to stand head and shoulders above all the rest on the ship. How do you account for it? It was now a question of where to run the ship aground, and in order to choose as favorable a place as possible it was necessary to have daylight. Paul's vigilance prevented the desertion of the crew, without whom it would have been hard to beach the ship successfully. Picture to yourself the scene on the ship in the dusk of the morning, especially the part Paul played and the heartrending effect of his words and example. "Throwing out the wheat:" The lighter the ship was the closer could she run to shore before striking bottom. "Loosing the bands of the rudders:" The "rudders" were two enormous oars worked by hand from the stern. They had been pulled out of the water for fear the waves would break them. The revised version is more accurate here than the common. Note the differences, especially in verse 40: "Where two seas met;" This was probably a bar such as often runs between two neighboring islands. Ramsey believes that finding this was a piece of extraordinary good fortune. "Kill the prisoners:" If a Roman soldier could not produce his prisoner when called for, he forfeited his life. Was Paul's influence on this voyage due simply to his strong personality and good judgment, or was it largely due to the fact that he was a man of God? What idea of Christianity do you suppose Paul's shipmates carried out into the world with them, as a result of what they saw of it on the voyage? PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. In time of danger a Christian has a source of strength and cheer that others do not have. In time of danger a Christian will intercede for others as well as for himself. In time of danger a Christian will try to comfort and encourage others. In time of danger a Christian's faith in God will be most conspicuously shown. It is idle to predict disaster for the women's daily paper in Chicago. It may get to be all the style. GRIPPE HURT KIDNEYS. The lingering results of La Grippe remain with the kidneys for a long time.

"Here's a story, the truth of which is pouched for by an English lady resident in Florence. She has a balcony that overhangs a street in which are some shops, and a few days ago an American mother and daughter paused to look in at the window, and interchanged the following remarks: 'Mime, you quite sure that this is Venice?'

Adrian, Minn., June 1st—Philip Doyle, of this place, says he has found out a medicalian, who was a patient of the dandy Trouble. As Mr. Doyle was himself sick for a long time with this painful disease, and is now, apparently, as well as ever, his statement carries the confirmation of personal experience. The remedy that cured Mr. Doyle is called Dodd's Kidney Pills. In speaking of the pills, Mr. Doyle says: "In regard to Dodd's Kidney Pills, they are certainly a wonderful medicine—the best that I have ever taken. "I was very bad for a long time with Kidney Pills and could not nothing to help me till I tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I used altogether about ten boxes, and I can say emphatically that I am completely cured. I am entirely well, without a symptom of Kidney Trouble left. "I can heartily recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills to anyone who is suffering with Kidney Trouble, for they made me all right. "I have advised several of my friends to try them, and not one has been disappointed." People who accomplish most make the least noise—Chicago Daily News.

Miss Camilla Chartier, 5 West Lexington St., Baltimore, Md., writes: "Late suppers gradually affected my digestion and made me miserable dyspeptic, suffering intensely at times. I took several kinds of medicine which were prescribed by different physicians but still continued to suffer. But the trial convinced me that it was wicked me of this trouble, so I continued taking it for several weeks and I was in excellent health, having gained ten pounds."—Miss Camilla Chartier. Summer Catarrh. Mrs. Kate Bohn, 1119 Willoughby Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: "When I wrote you I was troubled with frequent headaches, dizzy, strange feeling in the head, sleeplessness, sinking feelings, faintness and numbness. Sometimes I had heartburn. My food would rise to my throat after every meal, and my bowels were very irregular. "I wrote you for advice, and I now take pleasure in informing you that my improvement is very great indeed.

The agonizing itching and burning of the skin, as in Eczema; the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled head; the facial disfigurements, as in acne and ringworm; the awful suffering of infants, and anxiety of worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tetter and salt rheum—all demand a remedy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evidence. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy, have made them the standard skin cures, blood purifiers and humour remedies of the civilized world. Bathe the affected parts with hot water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the surface of crusts and scales and soften the thickened cuticle. Dry, without rubbing, and apply Cuticura Ointment freely, to allay itching, irritation and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and lastly, take Cuticura Resolvent, to cool and cleanse the blood. This complete local and constitutional treatment affords instant relief, permits rest and sleep in the severest forms of eczema and other itching, burning and scaly humours of the skin, scalp and blood, and points to a speedy, permanent and economical cure when all else fails.
