THE QUIET HOUR Here is a delightful plan by which tn< German mothers encourage their l little girls to knit. The wool I is wound into a large ball called a I wonder hall because it contains many 1 little gifts hidden therein by the 1 mother’s fingers as she winds the worsted. As tbc gift at the center I of the ball w ill be found last that is || usually the best and might be a little I gold ring, or any bit of child’s jew elry. At another time the little knit ters finds a silver coin and again ■ something for her dolly. A silvei I® thimble gives great delight. The method stimulates perseverance and lessens the drudgery of learning to ■ knit.—Ex. I Be Good to The Men. Girls, this is for you.

Overcome evil with good. Trail-] smut enemies to friends with the elixir of love. Before my Sunday school days 1 used to be in politics. One night after a meeting where I had spoken and 1 had gone to bed, two men stood in front of my resi dence and profanely called mo all tin bad names there are in a rum bottle Out of bed and Into my clothes, grabbing a base ball batt. took but a few seconds. But my wife grabbed me and made me promise ‘‘not to do anything rash.” So in order to find out who they were for arrest on the morrow, I slipped down the street and met them under a gas light. They were too drunk to know me. One was a worthless painter, and the other wasatough car jfentei from Slater's Slabbing Mill. ' By morning my ire had been slept away and morning was done. A little while after that I started the Iron Rose Bible cl^ss, and somehow these fellows got into it. Both were led 'nto the kingdom. The painter became one of the best teachers at the Rock Run mission, and is today ^ one of Coatesville’s best Christians. V carpenter has gone home to What a mistake I would have made withthat old base ball bat! Moral: Listen to your wife! A Frank Confession. ”1 am a farmer, and I raise rye. One day I took a bushel of my rye down to the distiller and sold it to him for fifty cents. The distiller got. iut of that bushel of rye three and a half gallons of proof whiskey—al though I hear now that he can gel four gallons out of a bushel—which he sold lo the saloonkeeper. i then start'd in with the saloon k* eper to drink up my bushel of rye at ten cents a drink, eight drinks to th" pint, or eighty cents for a pint, or $0.40 for a gallon. The three and a half gallons of proof whiskey which my fifty-ccnt rye made had cost me $22.-40. “I had to sell enough rye to the distiller to get money to pay the sa loon keeper. When 1 hauled my forty-four and four-fifths bushels of —-rye to the distiller to pay for what lie uad gotten out of one bushel, 1 said to myself, ‘what a fool I was!’ “Is there another farmer as big a fool as I was?” T obacco. Next to alcohol, the narcotic most frequently resorted to, to afford re lief from <hese symptoms, is tobacco. A little over four centuries ago to bacco was unknown in civilized lands. Today the tobacco devotees is found in every w'alk of life. In the United State: there are as many smokers as there are voters, and it is estimat ed that over five hundred tons of tobacco leaves go up in smoke each day of ths year, representing a val ue of over $800,000. Every minute of the sixteen hours during which men are awake somewhere, about 23,000 cigars and 10,000 cigarettes are con sumed. Our annual tobacco bill amounts to $040,000,000. Should any three of our large cities be wiped out by fir • each year it would be con sidered an immense loss, and yet yt*iie amount of tobacco annually eon f ■ imed equals in value nearly the combined taxable property of De troit., Cincinnati, and Buffalo. The United States is one of the greatest educational countries in the world, but for every dollar spent on educa tion over two dollars is paid out for tobacco. A habit so universal must have a marked influence upon nation al life. On the evening of the election day that voted Beatrice “wet” recently, a little girl, as whs her custom, brought milk to the home of.this business man She was greatly excited, and very anxious to know how the elec- j tion came out. The next evening she! came as usual, but sad-faced and quid. Little dreaming the real cause, the lady of tie house asked the girl’s reason lor her demeanor, to which lie lalter repl'ed: “Oh, 1 feel soj bad «.au«< Beatrice voted for the| saloon ngajn. Last year, when we l ad no saloons, papa always brought his money home when he was paid. Now we won’t have so much to eat and such clothes to wear, but will have to live like we used to when they had saloons before. Oh, 1 just can't help it, I must cry!” Of course she must. Don't you cry with her? Her father is employed in the large manufactory of Beatrice. Let me see, havn't 1 heard a gubernatorial as pirant in Omaha cry “personal lib erty?” Is this what he means? But that is what it is. A Plea For The Higher Life. (By a Contributor) In going up and down this old world, I have come in contact with many people who have lived long and well; who li^ve been a success finan cially, and possessed much goods. But upon getting intimate with them, I discovered that they were sadly lacking in that which is of roost im por'ance—tranquility of soul. They have been engaged with thingr that could not satisfy. The one 'thing needful had been neglect ed. And now, grown old, and about to die, they were without peace, or hope 1 have met many a weary traveler in this sad plight. Who can measure the heart’s gloom that, holds no promise, where the consolations of Christ have no place? To my readers, permit me tosay, “God is love,” turn to the overtures of mercy, God will receive you, and at eventide it shall be light. There is another class whom I have met and known. They began life’s journey well. Years ago they were counted as pillars in society and the church. But they took offense. Some tiling got in their way and they drop ped out of the straight and narrow way, and have wandered in the by paths of sin ever since. They have rejected the Christ and made ship wreck of their faith. Their attitude to the church is one of fault finding. They have become chronic kickers. To them everything appears wrong. The preachers do not preach as the fathers did thirty or forty years ago. There is too much pride in the church. The poor are not regarded. Indeed, many are the faults in their way. 1 would like to remind these dear people of the fact, that there is nothing per fect under (he heavens. What they need is more love annd less of the spirit of bitterness. You who have willfully separated yourselves from the working forces of God’s church are in grave danger of losing your souls. it is the blessed privilege of every one to worship God and find the supreme joy of life in His service. This is the .secret of all true happiness. Would you live long and he happy, love the brethren. Would you have the peace that passeth understanding, do your whole duty toward your God.
