Mr. Carter knew that the senior deacon of his new church was a thrifty New Englander, he was not entirely prepared for some of the evidences of Deacon Getchcll's peculiar thrift "I don't know as I favor your exchanging with the Har borville minister more than once in the year," said the deacon, shaking his head at Mr. Carter's suggestion of a second exchange. "I thought you all enjoyed his preaching," said the minister, with surprise. "I had understood so." "That's not the point," said the dea con'6 chin took on the look so familiar to his family and friends. "The point is that we pay $5.25 more a Sunday for our pulpit than they do over to Harborvllle. So when you go over there it's just the same as making the Harhorville church a present of that sum, and what I'm saying is that once a season's enough for us to con tribute to their support." Youth's Companion. ACT AS SPUR TO MAN'S A IDE. Love and Belief Are Powerful Agents for Reformation. Love and belief in a man can never hurt him. It will always act as a spur to his pride, which is Invariably close to a man's love, whilst it has little or nothing to do with a woman's Even when the schoolboy falls in love with the little girl in pinafores his first instinct is to acquit himsell in her eyes in some magnificent way to knock out some other hoy, or in timidate a foe. This instinct remains with men un til they die, just as girls from the cradle or inspired by love seek beaut to appear lovely in the eyes of their adorers. And the masculine pride and prow ess and strength are what the wise girl will use in her desire to reform some man who is merely weak. Nagging drives such men into the depths. Every look of derision, snub, insult, sinks the iron deeper into their souls. Exchange. A Harder Job. The tributes to the popularity of Mr. Hammond's son pleased the father, who was the oldest summer resident of Shrubville. They pleased him the more because they came from natives or the soil, whose good opinion could not beforced in any way. "He's a real good boy, that boy' o" yours," said Capt. Hollis Towne, and CapL Lothrop James added bis word of approval. "I like the cut of his jib," he an nounced, with decision, 'and I like his ways; he ain't too forth-putting, nor yet he ain't too stand-offish. "Thing of it is you and his ma haven't tried to have him "brought up. same as most of the summer folks do with their children; he's just been 'raised' like we were, and that's why he gets on with everybody in this town, sir!"

This Offer Should Be a Warning To Every Man and Woman. The newspapers and medical journals recently have had much to say relative to a famous millionaires' offer of a mil lion dollars for a new stomach. This great multi-millionaire was too busy to worry about the condition of bis stomach. He allowed his dyspepsia to run from bad to worse until in the end it became incurable. His misfortune eeives as a warning to others. Everyone who suffers with dyspepsia for a few yearn will give everything he owns for a new stomach. DjispepBia is caused by an abnormal state of the gastric juices. There is one element musing. The absence of this destroys the function of the gastric tlnide. They lose their power to digest food. We are now able tosnpbly the missing element to restore to the gastric juices their digestive power, and to make the stomach strong and well We know thtt Rtxal Dyspepsia Tab lets will positively and permanently cure disordered stomachs, indigestion and dyspepsia.

The practice of juvenile smoking in this country in the seventeenth cen tury was practically universal, says the London Chronicle. Jorevin de Rochefort, a French traveler of that period, in an account published in 1671 gives a description of an evening he spent in Worcester. He was catechised by one of the townsmen as to the hab its of the French poeple. "While wc were talking about the town," he writes, "he asked me if it was the custom in France, as in England, that when the children went to school they carried in their satchels with their books a pipe of tobacco which their mother took care to fill early in the morning, it serving them instead of breakfast, and that at the accustomed hour every one laid aside his book to light, his pipe, the master smoking with them and teaching them how to hold their pipes and draw their to bacco, thus accustoming them to it from their youths, believing it abso lutely necessary for a man's health." Always Light in the Sky. "The sky," says the Scientific Amer ican, "is never dark. This, however, is not due to the sun, but to the stars The Milky Way is above the horizon iu summer in our latitude, and it gives a great deal of light by night, enough to make the night sky of that time brighter than when it is not a part of our night sky, as is the case in winter. Then, too, the stars which cannot be seen by the unaided eye give us much light. The stars which are not visible to the eye give more light than those which are visible." Would Not Have It Lessened. Dr. Walter C. Smith, the popular Scotch poet-preacher, on one occasion tried to explain to an old lady the meaning or the scriptural expression, "Take up thy bed and walk." by say ing that the bed was simply a mat or rug easily taken up and carried awa-. "No, no," teplied the lady. "I canna believe that. The bed was a regular four-pester. There would be no mira cle in walking away wi' a bit o' mat or rug on your back."
