In mat- ters of church attendance should the wife go with the husband or the husband go with the wife? First, remember that all the evangeli- cal churches have enough truth in them th save the soul and prepare us for happi- ness on earth and in heaven. I will go with you into any well-seieoted theologi- cal library, and I will show you sermons from ministers in all denominations that set forth man as a sinner and Christ as a deliverer from sin and sorrow. That is the whole gospel. Get that into your gout, and you are fitted for •the belie and the hereafter.

The Ptolemale system made the earth the center of the solar system, and everything was thought to turn round the earth. But the Copernican system came and made the sun the center around which, the planets revolved. Tbe bigot makes his little belief the center of everything, but the large souled Christian makes the sun of riglateousness tha center and, all denominations without any clashing and thoh in Its own sphere revelving around it Oyez the tomb or Dean Stanley in Westminster Abbey Is the massage of Scripture, "Thy commandments are ex- ceeding broad."

But others are born with a lik- ing so stout, so unbending, so inexorable for some denomination that it is a posi- tive necessity they have the advantage of Shat one. What they were intended to be in ecclesiasticism was written in the sides of their cradle, if the father and mother had eyes keen enough to see it. They would not stop crying until they had put in their heeds as a plaything a Westmin- ster catechism of the Thirty-nine Articles. The whole current of their temperament and thought and character runs into one sect ot relieionists as naturally as the be a physician, and a man may own all the best works on painting and architec- ture and not be either painter or archi- tect& and a man may own all the sound creeds in the world and yet not be a Christian. Not what you have in your head and on your tongue, but in your heart and in your life, will deoide every- thing. Hang Out Your Light. In olden times in England before the modern street lamps were invented every householder was expected to have a lan- tern suspended in front of his house, and She cry of tiae watchmen in London as they went along at eventide was, "Hang our your lights!" Instead of disputing In your home about the different kinds of lantern, as a watchman on the walls of Zion I cry; "Let your light so shine Jaraes River into the Chesapeake. It before men that they. seeing your good 'would be a torture to such persons to be works, may glorify your Father which is in heaven" Hang out your lights I non may have a thousand ideas about religion and yet riot the great idea of pardoning mercy. et is not the number of ideas, but the greatness of them. But do not reject Christianity-, as hickory. Abram, the richer in flocks of many do, because there are so many sect Christian grace, should say to Lot, who Standing in Westminster Hotel, London, Is built on a smaller scale: "Let there be I looked out of the window and saw no strife, I pray thee, between me and three cloaks, as near as 1 oan remember thee, and between my herdsmen and thy —one on the Parliament house, another herdsmen, Is not the whole land before on St. Margaret's chapel, another on thee?" As you can be edified and happy Westminster Abbey—and they were all anywhere go with your cionapanion to different. One said 12 o'clock at noon, anywhere outside of thanone church. Now, let the wife or husband who Is not so construoted sacrifice the milder preference for the one .more inflexible and rigorous. Let the grapevine follow the rugosities and sinuosities of the oak or theethurch to which, he or she must go or be miserable. Advice to Parents.

Montevideo Is noted for its intelligence. It is e city of newspapers, libraries and Wheal. There is a national library wheel canteens 22,00 volumes, It has a nationel museum, in wbich there are 38,000 objects. It is the center of intelligence for the country, ansi the leading dailies, weeklies mid monthlies are published here. Most of the deities are in Spanish, but there are two daily English news- papers anti an Italian newspaper, and also outs in French, As to the school system, this is steadily improving. There are 500 more schools in then:May now than there were in 1876, although as yet only nine per cent. of tbe population attend them, and the majority of the common people cannot read and write, There are now in the neighborhood of 2,000 school teathers, of whom more than two-thirds are wornen. Teachers are well paid. the average being, about $85 a month. Most of the teachers are foreigners, there being only 606 native teachers In the 1,990 In service. Normal schools have, however, bean established, and there rill be an increased number of native teachers in the future. Montevideo has a university with 85 professors and 549 students. The course in this is very complete, law, medicine, engineering and the orninary college studies being taught. It is supported by the Government. The Government also supports an industrial school, which bas 248 pupils, and a military college, which has 48 pupils. The country bas a good postal and telegraph system as well. nether said five minutes before 12, an- other said five minutes after 12. I might e s well have concluded that there is no o uch thing as time because the three timepleoes were different as for you to oonclude that there is no such thing as pure Christianity because the churches differ in their statement of it. But let us all rejoice that, although part of our family may worship on earth In one church and part in another church or bowed at the same altar in a compro- mise of preferences, we are, if redeemed, on the way to a perfect church, where all our preferences will be fully gratified.

The Oceanic, recently launched at Bel- fast, Is the biggest vessel afloat Tbe first steamer that crossed the Atlantic was the Savannah. Her displacement was 350 tons. The voyage was effected in 26 days and the ship berself wan regarded as a wonder. That is 80 years ago. Forty years later the wonder of the Savannah was lost in the marvel of the Great East- ern. Like the Savannah, the Great East- ern was a paddiewheeler. Subsequently came the Persia. The old packets which took forever to cross the ocean vanished. For the rich and opulent there was the opportunity to go to Europe in less than two weeks. Twenty-five years ago ten days was a fast trip. The first to do bet- ter was the Servile. Then from their kennels one after the other the grey- hounds emerged. Last year came the Kaiser Wilhelm, with a speed of about 23 knots and a displacement of 20.000 tons. In a recent announcement it was stated that if this ship were set on her stern at the side of the 27 -storey St. Paul build- ing on Broadway she would be more than twice as high. Were the same operation performed with the Othanie she would soar 60 feet higher. How fast she goes we are uninformed. But for the moment the detail is unimportant. Assuming that she makes the trip in six days, and re- membering that the Savannah made it in 26, the question at once arises how many years will 15 be before ocean travel time is sequestrated and space abolished? —Edgar Saltus in Collier's Weekly.

"At what age is it most profitable to keep hens for winter- layers?" The wise ones tell us that pullets of any ot the better varieties that are hatched early enough in the season to reach maturity, and begin laying in the fall, will con- tinue throughout the winter with short periods' of intermission, provided, of course, teat they are fed and eared for in such a manner as to promote the egg - making process. We are also told that hens of the heavier varieties are at their best when two years old, and that a larger per centof their eggs aro fertile, and produce finer, healthier chicks than those hatched from pulletseggs. Of the smaller and more active, the non -sitting breeds, hens can be kept vvitia profit until five years old.—The Cable. ANIMAL LIFE.
