Trade Outlook the Best Ever Known In the History of the Island. Ceylon as a whole is experiencing a period of exceptional prosperity and the Bede outlook Is the best ever known In the history of the Mand. Tea, cocoa- nf;!s, cacao, cardamoms and citronella e paying -well, and rubber and cam- phor are Mill more profitable. 'there has been a continued boom In rubber planting, which now occupies about 115,00 acres. while tea has had a revival and high prices are now being realized. Camphor prices are very high and the cultivation has been extended se that there are now some (0O acres under this product. A transportation question that inns been agitated In Ceylon for a long while. and thut is now being brought acUvely to the front again. is that of connecting C.cylan to India by a railroad across Adam's Bridge and the shallow bodies of water lying between Rameswaram and Taillairnonnar at the northern end of the tslnnd.

'there are !Lose who talk of money ;eel business as though Riese were ne- e --easily and intr:ns,cally evil. 11 is often supposed that capacity for good- ness is established by incapacity fur business, while those to whom poverty scents inevitable find con;,uiation in re- garding it as evidence of piety. Largo numbers of otherwee. sensible people !tel that there is sante unavoid- able conflict between the ideal and the real, between what they call the sac- red and the secular, between the things they would like to do and to be and the things they actually have to do as part of their daily affairs and duties. I'robably the greater number try to sleet the difficulty by dividing their lives and interests into separate parts. They say, business is business; relig- ion is another thing altogether; 1 will work hard and honestly at my busi- ness and look forward to the comforts and pleasures of religion and ideal things. So it happens that there ere those who feel that to speak of religion on a weekday reveals a lack of the sense of the fitness of things, while other good paeple are quite sure that it is a wholly irreverent thing to speak of busi- ness on a Sunday. We tend to dwell alternatively in two sets of apartments, TIIE PRACTICAL AND 'i'iIG PIOUS: Even where there are no such sharp lines through the life we feel that manu- facture and fie market, money staking, and trading tend to blunt the finer sen- sibilities and act as a hindrance to the realization of our ideals, while, on the otl:cr hand, we are sure that the lite o: ideals is unfitted for business. the result of (bis separation and ap- parent antagonism Is that wo cannot develop our Lives symmetrically; we are torn by conflicting purpcses; we fall to sec 'any !deal ends In business or to find any pence cgl values in religion ileligie-n ,lv ith 'ut business lends to drat r: -. u: •.: •'r -ss moral enervation.

No leen could become a saint by sep- arating himself from this world's tur- moil and reading his Bible atone; net. Ther can any man find strength and stability for life's business and bnttle, find satisfaction in its service and re- wards, unless he sees through its doe ters and Its dirt the moral ends of all this world's work. This noisy mill of daily living may be the greatest blessing we know; It is the opportunity for the express'.on of our highest ideals, for the translation of religion into terms of daily living; it is the place where character is mold- ed by its stress, its cells to the strong will. and its ii anifold opportunities for the service of all mankind by each Ivan in his place.

Based on the text of the Revised Version. Parallel -Synaptic Records. -The re- turn of Jesus into Galilee marks the beginning of the first longer period of his so-called Galilean ministry. All of the four' evangelists call attention to Ills beginning of Christ's public work in hes home province. Matthew and Murk connevt these events with the time of the imprisonment of John the Baptist !Matt. 4. 12-17; Mark 1. 14, 15). Luke, on the other hand, passes from the account of the cleansing of the temple, immcdhitely following the same author's account of- the baptism and temptation, and records the fuel that Jesus left Judea ani returned into Ga- lilee in the following words: "And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee; and a fame went out concerning him through all the region about. And he taught in their synagogues. being glorified ed o f all" (Luke 4. 14, 14). 'fhe narrative which follows in our lesson passage is Thus not connected In point of time with tete similar narrative of the boating. 1 11►e centurion's servant recorded in Malt.

SOVIO days he was very, very good; other days he was very good; while on still others he was just good. At least, Suring all this time he was never bad. Each week, however, there carne a "naughty dee"-a time when Joey was downright wicked and un- ashamed. If it had not been that Joey's mam- ma was an Invalid, unable to look after him properly, very likely he would nut have had a "naughty day." But long ago he had lost fear of nursle, and had learned to take ad- vantage of her good nature, secure In the belief that he would not bo punished. Kind and Indulgent as nursle wes, there came a time when she could not longer overlook these "naughty days." So Joey's mother was quietly told. 1t grieved her very much to hear this, for, like some other soothers, she Imagined that Joey was always good. Joey knew he should have been dressed almost half an hour ago. He knew it was atter breakfast time when he sat up in his little bed. And he knew it was very wrong to throw savagely across the room the stock- ings nursle had brought hint. Yee, he knew; but he didn't care -because it was a "naughty day." Ile looked out of the corner of his eye at nursle to see whether she was aware of this. He thought it funny that nurses should not have come to coax him to dress. And now he thought It fun- nier still that she didn't pay even the slightest attention to him. Ile bang- ed a chair and yelled again, more loudly than before. Nursle calmly left the room. She had never done that before! What could it all mean? By this time Joey had almost for- gotten it was a "naughty day." Dressing himself ever so quickly, he crept down the stairway and then out to the kitchen, where lie meekly ask- ed cookie for something to eat. "If it ain't a purty time to be a- wantln' your breakfast! I can just tell you, blaster Joe, that you'll get nothin' from me this mornin'!" Cook had never snorted or glared at him In that way before. She had al- ways called hint her "darllnt" and given him the very nicest things. He was sorely puzzled. At any rate, mother would be sure to kiss hint lovingly and treat him kindly. Yes, he would go to mother. Ilut no sooner had ho entered mother's room than she said sharply and with a frown, "Go away, child; I don't want. to see you now." "Why, muvver!" Joey was just able to gasp; then, with burning tears in his eyes and a big sob in his throat, he felt his way along the balustrade until he reached the nursery. There, all alone, he flung himself upon tho floor and wept as though his heart would break. Thla was the first time mother had frowned at him, and this was the first unkind word he had ever known from her. Then Joey began to wonder if It ever hurt other people when he said unkind things and was naughty. Of course, they could never feel so bad as he felt now -never In the world! - but perhaps, after all. It did hurt their feelings a little. "Naughty day" wasn't just the nicest sort of a day for those about him. lie began to think. And he even began to doubt whether he enjoyed It a very great deal himself. There was still another blow In store for Joey. When father cams home that evening he didn't notice hint. Joey sat down trembling to his steal. Not a word was spoken. After Joey had swallowed a few mouthfuls be went quietly buck to his own little rr .n1 That night, when ho was all ready to go to bed, mother carne, as usual, to hear him say his prayers. For a'1_ A TIME OF WICKEDNESS his sorrow Joey noticed that mother looked sad, too. He could endure his woes no longer. Flinging his arms around mother's neck, he pleaded tearfully. "Don't you really love me any long- er, muvver-not even a teenty, weenty bite" Mother clasped him tightly as she said gently, "Of course, goosle; I way cross only because it was my 'naughty day.' If you have 'naughty days,' we'll have to have them, too. I'm afraid." "O� muvver, a•pose none of us have 'naughty days.' I'll promise never to have one again -never, never!" Mother dried his tears as they made the agreement And Joey has kept his word.

Few persons outside the reals of the operating department of a railroad know anything of the oftlimes vexnli- eus peoulinrilies and not Infrequently seemingly intelligent capers of a lo- comotive when being "broker to its rntssion In the world. Each new engine trust undergo a sell Veining or test before it is put into actual service, and each locomotive which has gone through the shops for repairs 6given a certainail working out before it Ls icturned to Ile erstwhile duties.

French cats are only seen darling iron one alley to another, and apparently envoys in a state of panic. This arises from the o fact that the French ere not lovers of nnimnls. In London it is quite different. Lon- don is an elsslum for cals. The cats you meet in the Mreet are nlways sleek and happy and are most friendly. A cat Le really a sort of necessary lints!' to n London horse.

A trousseau 1a tho most absorbing topic to a girl and to all her friends, and nowadays the patterns aro so easily cut and so quickly made up that Easter will not arrive before the completion of the wardrobe. Lingerie usually clalma most of the attention of a bride, because for once in her life she may have all the dainty tht:gs she longs for, and there are many loving hands to aid her in the fulfilment of her desire. One-piece garments have made a pretty trous- seau a possibility, and have elimi- nated all the tiresome finishing of sleeves and ahouldcr seams, which is such a trouble to the amateur seamstress, who is so anxious to get to the lace trimmings and finishing touches. A corset cover may be cut on a sennl-cIrcu!ar pattern, allowing the two fronts to run to the selvedge of the nalnrouk. Good material of this sort may be purchased for little money, and it wc:,; s vcry well. The best width to buy Is one and a quar- ter yards, for this leaves sienna breudtli for all garments. Tho cor- set ^over when cut need only have the beading for the ribbon sewn around the top and bottom, while rib- bons over the shoulders are all that are needed to keep the waist up. On the bending the bride sews all the lrce that she wants, and if she Is In- dustrious the plain front may be elab- orated with designs of insertion. This, to be correct, should be basted tightly in place, and. after being sewn firmly, the nalnsoolc may be cut away on the wrong side, leaving the transparent lace. ON SI3SO7.TO PATTERN Night dresses are cut on the kimo- no pattern, leaving the entire width of the material for the sleeves. A square hole is cut for the neck, tho sides are sloped out from under rho arms, the side scams aro sewn up and the gown is hemmed. Then lace is sewn around the sleeves and neck, and the design used on the corset cover may be reproduced on the front of the night gown. To still further elaborate the latter, a band of two- inch beading may bo sewn around just under the arms, and when wide ribbon is run through this the result Is quite empire in effect. A very good plan is to use a different design on each set, so that they may bo worn at the same time. A charming dressing sacque is made of any material -silk, flannel, nein- gook or albatross. A slit is cut from one corner to the center of the square, where a round hole 1s made for the neck. This Is the front of tho jacket. Counting off nine inches from the ad- joining corners, the material is tacked together to form sleeves. The jacket fa ther, faced all round with ribbon, ribbon is run throureh eyelets cut In the mate! lel around the nest: and the jacket is finished. It is a becoming guns alt, loo. for the long points hanging front and back give good lines, and when ribbon or lace is added around the sleeves the result is most attractive. A flannel skirt is made on the same plan as the underwaist, only to give greater length the semi -circle of flan- nel Is cut less full, so that It Is neer'. sary to sew a breadth of the material to the selvedge, and In the middle of title the placket Is made. The skirt. ton, Is faced all round on the right' side, and ribbons or buttons fasten It in the back. PRETTY PETTICOATS A white petticoat may be cut In the same way and around the bottom a deep flounce added. This methodl does away with the tedious gores, and the skirt is sure to fit smoothly over the hips, with no superfluous fulness to spoil the fit of the dress. In mak- ing a white petticoat the best ma. terlal for the purpose is "long cloth' for It wears a long time. To this may be added a flounce of finer cotton material, and the petticoat may be as much trimmed with lace as the bride wishes. 1f a double flounce is desired, the abort circular top :nay bo finished with buttons and the flounee with buttonholes, so that at any time it may be washed without washing the whole skirt. She may also make a taffeta flounce to button on, which saves the expenao of a whole silk skirt, and when this plan Is adopted twn circular skirts are all that aro necessary, for any number of llounces may be made, and tht y can always be kept fresh and Glenn. I'or outer clothes a spring colt la cut In the same shape as the old -fa -h - tuned triangular lace shawls. As this Is the latest thing In lace coats, the sante idea could bo carried out in fllet net or Imitation Irish lace if the real article is not obtainable. These are worn over the shoulders, and they hang In a point back and front. It 1s true that they are not particularly waren for outer wraps, but they give a dressy appearance to the plainest of white gowns. In fact, a most at- tractive coat may be made of broad- cloth, cut in the same way as the dressing sacque, and finished at the neck in broad revers, with the mate- rial outlined In gold braid. A cont of the kind would be warn enough for any kind of summer weatiter, and in winter it may be used as a carriage wrap. All of the ideas mentioned aro easily carried out and are really inexpensive. Thus a bride may have almost her en - tiro trousseau at little cost, while she has the tirne saved on seams and bindings to put all the hand work on her lingerie where it will make the prettiest effect and be the pleasantest sort of work. Thera is something fascinating about watching garments grow quickly under industrious fingers, and never has a girl com- plained of the sewing she must do to trim and elaborate her trousseau. Boxesfor Wedding Cake NEW boxes aro being made for Easter wedding cakes out of left- over pieces of the bride's gown. Of course, no one would be so extravagant as to provide all the guests with such pretty boxes, but they are given to the bridal party as a sort of consolation prize for those who did not get keepsakes in the shape of rings and thimbles out of the large cake. Some very wealthy brides are having the initials embroidered on tho corner of the box, but the white satin cover- ing Is really suflcient, and if the letters on the boxes are a necessity they may be hand-paint^d in Japanese style. If the bride Is of a really ecouomicrl turn of mind she can easily make the little novelties herself, for alt that is necessary is to paste the pieces of silk on an ordinary while paper box. Sofa Cushion AMOST charming sofa cushion was made of heavy burlap, with art nouveau tulips or daisies. made In kid, ditched tightly to the background. Tho effect is best when the latter Is In grass green and the conventional dec- oration 1s in brown. Pyrography Is also extensively used to outline the kid decorations. Another sofa cushlcn is made of the same green burlap embroidered in red 1 oincettlas done in red yarn. The only color to relieve the monotony of the red and green 1s a little bunch of French knots of yellow silk in the cen- ter of the flower. Another sofa cushion is of tan !Iran embroidered in a daisy design in the coronation braid. This is a cushion that is more appropriate for the draw- ing room than the sitting room, but It Is nevertheless original and effective. !silver tabby, orange, cream, tortoise shell, and any other color.
