You ask. "What

Listen a moment ,

And I three
things will
state.
A boy can make
the world
more bright
By kindly word and deed ;
As blossoms call for nature's light ,
So hearts love's sunshine need.
A boy can make the world more pure
By lips kept ever clean ;
Silence can influence shed as sure
As speech-oft more doth mean.
A boy can make the world more true
By an exalted aim ;
Let one a given end pursue ,
Others will seek the same.
Full simple things , indeed , these three ,
Thus state(1 in my rhyme ;
Yet , what , dear lad , could greater be ?
What grander , mnore sublime ?

Victory Through Dcfeat.
There is a world of truth in the motto :
"Who conquers must suffer , " as an incident -
cident in the earlyy career of Jenny
Lind bears witness. The Australian
Weekly tells the story : In her twenty-
first year she came to Paris to take lessons -
sons from the great master , Signor Gar-
cia. She had already taken a high place
at Stockholm , having been made a
member of the Royal Swedish Academy -
emy of music in 1840 , and court singer
in the same year. When she waited on
Signer Garcia , that he might test her
voice before receiving her as a pupil ,
the trial was a complete failure. It
was indeed a crushing blow when the
master said : "It would be useless to
teach you , mademoiselle ; you have no
voice left. " She told Mendelssohn
years afterward that the anguish of
that moment exceeded all that she had
ever suffered in her whole life. Yet
with a stout heart she determined to
try again. Moved by her distress Garcia -
cia said she might come to him again
after six weeks , if , during that time ,
she gave her voice complete rest , not
singing a'single note and speaking as
little as possible. Hvvr did she spend
those weary weeks ? Knowing that if
she succeeded , she would have to sing
one day in Italian , and French , she devoted -
voted herself to the thorough study of
those languages. IIer next voice trial
was a success , and thenceforward she
rose rapidly into fame. That bitter disappointment -
appointment was perhaps one of the
most necessary parts of her training for
her subsequent career.
The Common I'coplo heard him Gladly
What a wonderful teacher was Jesus.
What power he had , to give life to life-
lesa things. He could point to a dead
branch and make it a living teacher
and preacher. He could take same conh-
morm event in a peasant's life and out of
it make a vessel which he would fill
with the precious oil of truth. He never
preached but what ire filled his sermons
with living pictures to make plain his
meaning. Deep truths were so clearly
presented that men who had never been
to school a day could understand them.
There wouldn't be any trouble about
reaching the masses , if our religious
teachers Woud : learn to teach as Jesus
: aught. Famishing sheep never go toward -
ward painted water , but show them the
living stream and theyy will open their
mouths and immediately seek it. There
is nothing the world so much needs as
the gospel , and people everywhere are
panting and dying for want of it.
Sheep will leave the best pasture in the
world to go in search of water. Just so
with people. The world is a pasture , but
without the water of life running
through it it will not satisfy. God made
the soul of man so mach bigger than
the rrord : he lives in that he must
have mere than the world before he
can get any real joy out of it. People
are panting for the gospel , but theyy
don't know just what it is they wart.
They are all after happiness , ease and
rest , but do not know that it is Christ
they need , and so by seeking in their
own way , they wander like sheep away
from God. Truth in the abstract is as
dry as dust to them. It is torture to
have to listen to some one talking
when you don't know what he is talk-
fag about. Read a few pages of Choctaw -
taw to children and they will run
thereafter every time you pick up a
book , but talk to them in word pictures
that they can understand and they will
not want you to stop. Deaf men are as
anxious to hear as anybody , but theyy
never go to church the second time to
hear men who preach in whispers. The
reason some men never have to task
to empty benches is. because they have
learned the principles of teaching from
the Great Teacher. Where other men
would have nothing but a valleyy of dryy l
bones to point out , they sunmmon the
winds of simple and clear speech to
breathe upon them , and thereby cause
an army of living men to spring up and
immediately go to forming lines of bat-
tle. Had Jesus spent his life in talking
about microbes and protoplasm , he
would never have had any multitudes
foloring : him They never had to wait
until he got to "ninthly" before theyy
could make out what he was talking
about. People will go again when the
preacher provides baskets in which his
s
.sermon may ho carried home from
church
Do Dogv Think ?
So many wonderful and intelligent
deeds have been and are constantly
being performed by dogs , that the question -
tion naturally arises , "Do dogs really
think Bice human persons , only in a
less degree ? "
Among the stories of this animal's
intelligence and affection which have 1
recently fallen into my hands one of
the most interesting is that of Hero
and Midget , which Is recorded by the
Christian Intelligencer : Mr. Lane and
his family lived in the country and
were time owners of the two dogs , Hero
and Midget. 1Iero was a fine , largo
dog , while Midget , as you might guess
from the name , was a little one. The
two dogs were very fond of each other ,
and had many gay games toge timer.
One summer the Lane family went to
make a visit to some friends who lived
in a village some seventeen miles away.
Midget they took with them , but Hero
they left behind. Near the house where
the Lane family were staying was a
hotel , where lived a very large dog
who was not always very friendly.
One day Midget went out for a walk.
As he was passing the hotel , the large
dog came out and commenced to fight
with poor little Midget. The little dog
was dreadfully beaten , and crept to the
house quite crestfallen. The next day
Midget was missing right after breakfast -
fast , and all search after him was in
vain. Later In the day who should be
seen coming along the dusty road but
Midget , and with ] line Hero. The little
dog had gone all the way home after his
friend. The two dogs went to the house
where their friends were , ate a hearty
meal , and tlmen trotted oft straight for
that hotel and found the hotel dog.
Then Hero gave that dog such a whipping -
ping that I do not think he bothered
small dogs for some time. Then he
turned about and went all the way
home again.
Ciib to Courtship.
One pities the Cuban young man
who is in love. He cannot come regularly -
ly to the house until a fair understanding -
ing of his intentions is arrived at. And
when at last lie has attained the felicity -
ity of being daily expected , he must do
all his courting in the presence of the
family , and utter his sweetnesses
across the critical ear of his future
mother-in-law.
Until they have been to church , they
are two , and never left alone. The
whole family take sly turns in watching
them. There is a regular detail made
from the older servants of the house to
keep an eye on them.
But there is human nature everywhere -
where , even in Cuba , and the two are
always getting off to a window seat era
a distant pair of chairs , though with
equal certainty somebody slides off in
that direction and mounts guard.
The smitten pair do not walk to-
gethcr in the evening. He does not accompany -
company her to the theater or to mass.
They enjoy all the bliss they can under -
der great difficulty , and with all mankind -
kind looking on. The indirect result of
all this espionage , of course , nobody in
this land of custom has ever observed.
There are a great many small intrigues
and innocent endeavors to circumvent
the detectives. There are eloquent
glances , signals , fan talk , and the sly
interchange of notes. Then the iron-
guarded window , instead of being a protection - t
tection , becomes a great convenience.
it is more than the front gate is with
us. She knows when he will pass by ,
and stands there with a fair llantl clasping -
ing the bars of her cage , and waits for
Itim. . They stand there , withh the iron
bar between them , and talk. Every day
it is so , and if mamma : wants to stop ,
it she must come and stand in a window
also.
also.There are other respects in which the
young man has a hard time. lie must
conic every day. He must , and she
holds him to the strict letter of the
law. He is bound to show , by every
means is imfs power , he holds all other
women in contempt and detestation.
Ee must not dance with any other , and
had better not be caught holding on to
any other window bars , in any other
street. He tells all his friends about it ,
and she all hers and the matter is dill-
gently discussed. If he should fail to
come around regularly every day he
has to tell a satisfactory story. He
takes his revenge after marriage.
Caio's 'f'arm Liacuit.
A writer in Science says that dar-
l , g her mother's long and severe illness
their dog Carlo took great interest in
all that pertained to her , watching the
i doctor very closely , and sitting by the
hail hour with his chin on the bed by
her side. We bought our bread , and ,
knowing Carlo's fondness for warm biscuits -
cuits , the baker often gave him one ,
which he quickly dispatched. Once ,
( luring a severe attack of mother's
when we were doing our utmost to
tempt her appetite , Carlo came in early
one morning , bringing his warm biscuit -
cuit untouched , and laid it on the floor
by mother's side. She was too sick to
notice this act of his ; but not to be
disappointed in his own plan , he came
forward anti lifted the biscuit to her
pillow , and retired again to his corner
to wait some look of thanks from her.
It came , and such a happy dog ! He
had brought his choicest offering
warm biscuIt-and it had been recog-
nized. Was there not a loving plan
and careful observation in this act ?

The Great Strain on a Man's Ncrve7

a Short Time. Thu Experience
of a Well-Kiowa Moturnran.
From the Cincinnati , Ohio , Enquirer.
The life of a motorman is not a bed of
roses. lie is subjected to many hardships
especiallyy itt the winterwheuhe is exposed
to the cold amid snow. Even in time summer
he must bear the intense heat which beat i
down upon hin. Considerable nerve and
self-possession is necessary in a good motorman -
man , for the 1 ives and limbs of his pa seml-
gers are at stake. One of the best known
electric motormen in this city \rrilliam
Frazer , who is at preses t rmimimrin r a car emi
the Cammfnsville electric line. lie is not j
only veil known to his fellow employes butte
to the people who travel on his ear. Mr.
Frazer is a young man about twenty-six
years Of age and resides with his wife and ,
child at 14-1 Bcttstrcct , Cincinnati , 0.
lbout a year ago Mr. Frazer was taken 1
with serious stomach troubles. lie bought
several kinds of medicine which were rec-
ommende'l to him , but mlone of themseemed
to give hinl even temporary benefit. An
enthusmastic admirer of that famuoasremedy
known as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo
People told him to tryy them. 1" rnzer was
almost discouraged , but took the advice.
To : m reporter for the t3"qufrer he said :
'I can most heartily recommend Dr. 1Vil-
liams' Pink Pills. Trey are all that is
claimed for them , in fact they advertise
themselves better than any medicine I ever
saw. I was seized sonic timnengowith abed
attack of indigestion. My stomach hurt me
nearly all the time and I could not digest
my food. The pain was almost unbearable
and I found nothing that would give me
relief. I confess that when I bought the
first box of Pink Pills I hadn't much confidence -
dence in their efficacy because Ihad tried so
many things without success that I was ai-
most discouraged Before I had taken one
boc I was decidedly better. Two boxes
cured me entirely. While I have been tinder
the weather from other causes my indigestion -
tion has never returned. If it ever should
1 knov just what to do. I have so much
confidence in the efkaey of Pink Pills that
if I ever get real sick again with any disorder -
der I shall use some of them. It is a pleas-
s
the for me. I assure you , to testifyy to the
excellent qualities of these Pink Pills. They
not only tone the stomach but regulate the
bowels and act ast as a mild cathartic. "
Mr. Frazer s testimonial means some- I
thing. He speaks from personal expert-
once and any one who doubts that he received -
ceived the benefits stated can easily verify
the assertion by calling on Mr. Frazer or
seeing him some timewhiie heisonhis car.
Dr. cVilliams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necesea-y to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves They are sold in boxes at 50
cents a box , or six boxes for 52.50. and may
