Small ?rcpt GREAT POWER OF HABIT Tli© Importance of Habit in Religion Is Hero Pointed Out. Teach me, 0 Lord, the way of Thy statutes and 1 will keep it un- til the end. --Psalm exix. 33. Our virtues are habits as much as our vices. Honor, courage, purity, punctuality, prayer and kindness are habits as much as are swearing, drunkenness and lying. When this truth is once perceived It makes a revolution in conduct. Morality with many consists in trying to cor- rect evil habits rather than in striv- ing to form good ones. Human life is largely automatic. We are in reality "walking bundles of habits." '1'o each sort of impression we have an automatic ready made response. The sort of habits we are form- ing is therefore of the greatest im- portance, and we are forming habits of some kind whether we attend to them or not. \\'e should strive, therefore, to acquire such habits as will strengthen and IMPROVE OUR NA'T'URES. This physical organism of ours, which is the clay which, by con- tinual reiteration, is gradually shaped along lines which finally THE BENTLEY BABY. control the ordinary actions of life.

Professor James enumerates journey and the important part played by the Bentley baby. The party went through the Bolide) dis- trict, which at that time had become excessively hostile to Europeans. The temporary station of tho Congo State had been burned to the ground, the chief, Ifaka, was dead, and when the steamer Peace, bearing the Bentleys, arrived in August, it was roughly ordered away. Before sheering off, how- ever, akus,idca occurred to Bentley. Takidg advantage of the steamer's halt, his wife and nurse were giv- ing a bath to the Bentley baby. As it by accident, the little white child was held up in view of the angry and excited people. Sudden - 1s a hush fell on the assembled throng, gradually giving way to a shout of delighted surprise. two rules in the formation of such habits with as much determination as possible in order that the initia- tory force with which a habit is launched may be as great as pos- sible; o y stiffer an sl le ; r;ec idly, ne er s exception to occur until a new hab- it is securely rooted in the life.

Even in the worst cases there is hope. His- tory is full of examples, from St. Paul down, in which the habits of a lifetime have been broken under a supreme compelling impulse. The power of the Divine Spirit is omni- potent in human affairs. The worst prodigal can reform. Behind all our efforts there is the power of God. With all His power the hab- its of a life time can be broken and a life of new baits begun. ItEV. DEWITT L. PELTON.

VII. A Problems Re-•iew.—This would be a good form for the review to take in adult classes. Let the CONSCRIPTS NOT HEROES. Would be Out of Sight, But In Danger, In (lase of War. Mr. Haldane, the British Minister of War, gave utterauce the other duy to a startling forecast of what would probably happen if an enemy ever succeeded in getting a foot- hold in England. A short and sharp Act of Parlia- ment would be passed, he opined, which would have the effect of forcing the "sleeker" to take up arms in defence of his country. But ho would not then be regarded as a hero, nor would ho be per- mitted the privilege of Lighting im the front ranks against the invad- ers. On the contrary, he would probably bo relegated to some very inconvenient. and unpleasant part of the country, where he would be out of sight without being out of danger, says 1'earson's Weekly. The picture is an unpleasant one, yet it almost certainly represents precisely what would happen in the event of an invasion, or even a raid, and the latter is by no means im- pr: babte, nor the former impos ib -e. The Channel, considered as a bar- rier, was a hundred tinges more formidable a hundred years ago than it is to -day, when fleets of swift steamers are available to cross it in an hour, or even less. Conscription has always followed invasion, just as it has usually also accompanied civil war, when these calamities have overtaken countries wherein it was not already the rule. A striking case in point was afforded by the war which broke out in 1861 between the Northern and Southern States of America. The nation possessed at the time only a very small standing army, and the soldier's profession was looked down upon by the mess of the people, much as it used to be in England, and, indeed, still is in certain quarters and by certain in- dividuals. At first the volunteers, plus the regulars, were relied upon to do the fighting, but conscription was soon seen to be a necessity. And con- scription it was. Men who had never fired a rifle in their lives were torn from their homes and marched to the front. This caused fierce resentment, and even san- guinary rioting in New York and elsewhere, during which many lives were lost. But the thing had to be, Gulden Text. --What great power teacher draw up a list of problems and it went on, just as it would gave the apostles witness of rho connected with the various lessons, do did a similar situation arise. resurrection of the Lord Jesus.— perhaps one for each lesson, and Acts 4: 33. ap preferably the problems that arose A variety of forms of review is in the class discussions and were not A SCHOOL OF EATING. given here, in order that teachers satisfactorily settled at the time. may select the method b • t suited LI to tage and a bili (noibest sort( Read the list to the class slowly, Opened by an Enterprising Woman tet•r classes. ,�•• few minutes afterward, in re- sometimes it will bye beat to unite calling for volunteers to assume the spsfnse• to urgent invitlttiuns to two or more plans, or to take parte responsibility of leading the class, or to slake other adapts- on the next Sunday, in the discus - come on shore, the Bentley baby, of aoveral, ia a dainty white dress, was being tions of these suggestions. sion of these problems.

Let each lesson be locatd with a figure. When a lesson in- volves more than one place, repeat the figure at each locality. Then let the scholar Make a list of the places, by names and number, and write opposite earl a brief state- ment of the principal lesson to be learned from the event that occurred there. For example: "Jerusalem : the first church council, teaching the value of frank and brotherly discussion of differences." DEMAND' FOR RAT SKINS. The use of rat. skins in various industries has created a demand in London alone to the amount of nearly 14200,000 a year. They are use 1t among other things, for bookbinding. photograpn frames, putss, and for thumbs in gloves. Ane branch of work is likely to inner se the consumption largely, and es much as 75 to 90 scuts a day has been earned by the unemployed in Denmark last year, when the rat act was passed. The damage done by rats in England alone is esti- mated to amount to many million dollars per annum, and their cap- ture a;reacly occupies a Targe num- ber of persons.

They should be quite brief, often hardly more than a sentence. For example : "John Mark, a man of good impulses but weak determina- tion ; he made one great failure, but he also made a great recovery." V. A Central -Text Review.—Ask the scholars to go over the lessons at home and select for each of them the verse that they think best em- bodies the spirit and thought of the lesson. Tell them in every case to use the entire lesson, and not mere- ly the verses that are printed in the quarterlies and lesson -leaves. For instance. for Lesson I. some may prefer v. 13; others, v. 29 or 31 or v. 35 or v. 45. The discussion of these different choices in the cla,s, and the fixing on a final choice. will constitute a thougntfol review. .I. A Christian -Life Review. — COULD NOT WORK.

Let all the lessons be grouped about Peter and Paul. the two leading characters. Make it a review of Peter's life, as far hack ns his call to be a disciple. The best way, perhaps, is to draw on the black- board (or on large sheets of paper) a series of frames, each to hold a "picture" of one scene in Peter's life or Paul's. This "picture" will he indicated by a few words written as the children recall the scenes, sncb as "Peter walking on the waves." "Peter !.)v the fire in the courtyard," "Pain facing Elyinas," "James writing his epistle," "A procession of heroes." MERELY A KING. The King of Italy is a very kern fisherman, spending hour after hour with his rod, although not always with the best of luck. On ono unfortunate occnsion, several hours' angling brought hire but three poor fish. He was return• ing to the castle, whe he met a man with a magnificent catch of trout.

Combination Cake.—Creams one- half a cupful of butter, one and one- half cupfuls of sugar, two eggs, one half cupful of sour milk, with a teaspoonful of soda dissolved in it. Add a pinch of salt, one-half a cup- ful of sifted flour, flavor to taste with nutmeg and lemon. Bake in leaf or layer with boiled frosting flavored with vanilla. Bread in Three Hours.—Yeast-- Boil eight largo potatoes and plash it. water in which they were boiled While this is still boiling pour over four tablespoonfuls of flour. To this add four tablespoonfuls each of salt and granulated sugar ; one quart of boiling and four quarts of cold water, and two yeast cakes, dissolved in half a cup of like warm water. Mix well and keep standing in a warm place eighteen hours. Then put in a cool place and keep until required. The Bread —Use one quart. of the yeast for two good sized loaves. Set on stove and stir with the band until about fle degrees Fahrenheit. Add a tablespoonful each of salt, brown sugar and butter, mix into a soft sponge with warmed flour. Let it rise thirty minutes. Add flour to knead, let rise again, mold into loaves, let rise, and bake in a mod- erate oven. Chicken with Rice.—Cut one thor- oughly cleaned roasting chicken in- to pieces of any desired size. Place these in the kettle, add one pint of strained tomato, one heaping cupful of celery cut into half inch pieces, one small onion, a few sprigs of parsley tied together, salt, pep per and one pint of hot water. Put this in the stove and when it be- gins to boil add one-half cupful of well washed rice. Let the whole boil for one-half hour, then place 't in a fireless cooker and allow it t', remain there fur at least four hours. Chicken prepared in this way may be served directly from the cooker, only the parsley should be removed, but the dish is far rnore attractive and seems to taste better if pieces of chicken are taken up with a skimmer arranged in a law baking dish, the rice poured over all, and then placed under the broiling flame or in the oven for about fifteen minutes just before serving. Garnish with fresh pars- ley and serve just ns it comes frorn tho oven. THE SEWING ROOM. Stains from Light Fabrics.—Plato clean cloth under spot, wet cotton or small piece of cloth with perox- ide of hydrogen and rub spot until it disappears. Most useful in children's fruit stained ginghams or white clothing. Have also used it en light silks successfully. How to Shrink Goods. --All wash- able goods should bo shrunk, especi- ally gingharns, before using. This i, valuable to remember in making up any kind of wash -goods ma- terials for children's clothes. Pour boiling hot water through the Foods, hang up and dry, and then iron. If this is dune previous to the making up of the goods, much time will be saved. To find Skirt Length.—After the band has been sewed on the skirt, try on. Stand a yardstick perpendi- cularly on the floor close to tele form. At the upper end, which will reach the hips, mark the skirt, moving the yardstick about the form, keeping it perpendicular and marking at the upper end until the mark encircles the form or skirt at the hips. The skirt can then he laid on the table, and if it is t , be two inches from the floor make it thirty-four inches from the lino about the hips; if three inches from the floor, make it thirty-three inches in length. This will 1►o found to he a most useful hint for the sewing room, insuring a properly hanging skirt, for if there is a difference in one's hips it will be above the mark on the skirt.

When a baby is lying on your lap 0o not allow anyone to talk to it ever its head frorn the back, as this is frequently the cause of a child's eyes becoming crossed. The little mite tries to see the speaker, and turns its eyes all ways in the ef- fort. Medicine should be given at regu- lar hours, and careful attention should be paid to tho direction as to time when it is ordered to be given, as, for instance, before or after meals. The exact quantity of medicine ordered should be given. Care of Table-linen.—To keep tablecloths in good condition pour boiling water upon stains from fruit c•r coffee as soon as the table is cleared ; do not wait until the week- ly wash -day. Some housekeepers drop a pinch of salt on a stain as soon ex it is made; this tends to its eradication. Rough Elbows.—Many women find their elbows get unpleasantly rough, especially those who lean much over a table. Dry table -salt rubbed on the elbows every morn- ing during the bath is a cure ; the friction will stimulate the skin and make it smooth and firm. At night a little cold cream should bo ap- plied. A Use for Tea-Leaves.—Save old tea -leaves for a few days, pour boil- ing water over them, leave till near - 13 cold, strain and use the water fur washing paint. It gets off stains very easily and quickly. Clean white paint by rubbing with a damp flannel which has been dipped in whiting; soda should never bo used 1:, washing paint, as it injures the color. Use for Empty Tins.—Here is a good way to make use of empty syrup -tins. The 4 pound size is per- haps the most useful, but others will do as well. Wash them clean inside; then procure a small tin of enamel, any color you like, but pale blue is very pretty ; give them three coats on the outside, allowing time for each coat of enamel to dry he - fore putting on the next. Cut out from bills or papers the letters you require to make the words showing the contents of the tins, such as peas, rice, etc. Stick each letter on separately and as neatly as pos- sible, and give ono coat of crystal varnish to the tin. It can then be washed when soiled. CAT MOTHERS SQt'IRIIELS. Deprived of Her Ono Children, She Adopts Another Family. Last spring a cat on the farm of Albert Fisher, near Westville, N.Y., had several small kittens. As the farm was overstocked with cats her young were taken from her and drowned. After that the cat seem- ed very unhappy, and being a house favorite she received considerable sy. nlpat hy. One day shortly after her kittens were taken from her a young squir- rel which had fallen from its nest in the hollow of a tree was found and taken to the cat with the iden that it would be a dainty morsel to temhppetite. Instead pter oaf pouncing upon it cat UI t fashion she took the young squirrel 'i UUU S to the box where she bad so recent- ly mothered her own young and there bestowed upon the squirrel all the affection she had previously given to her kittens. Stra:-ger still, says a writer in Country Life in America. in about two hours the old cat had hunted out the squirrel's nest in a tree some distance away and hod car- ried the remainder of the young squirrels in her mouth. one at a time, to her box in the house. Then until the squirrels were nearly full grown the cat watched over them with all the solicitude that is possible for any animal mother to show, even providing nourishment for them in exactly the same manner that she had for her own young. When the squirrel• had outgrown a mother's attention they were very tame and were given to friends et the family. ENCOUNTERED ON FRE 1!1.1). SON BAY RAILWAY. Numerous lake.

Rich agricultural lead, were found along the Mitishto and Grass Riv- ers, as far as Split Lake and along both sides of the Nelson River to Hudson Bay. LAKES RICH IN FISH. The whole country is cut with numerous lakes rich in fish, while game and fur -bearing animals are found everywhere. divers and lakes also abound south of Split Lake, giving good communication with the railway lines for the car- rying on of the lumbering and other industries which may be establish- ed in the future. Water power sites are abundant on nearly all the rivers and streams, many offering opportunities fpr development. at a minimum cost.. Tho Churchill, al- though a very large river, is not particularly useful for transport ex- cept for a short distance at its mouth. It is probable, however, that it would furnish many power (sites of large capacity should ib ever be decided to electrify the sys- tem, and these at a minimum of cost. NELSON RIVER. The Nelson River is described as one of the greatest rivers of the world, as regards the actual volume of water discharged into the bay. Its total length is approximately 400 miles and its drainage area is tre- mendous. Its tributaries cover the whole of Manitoba, the greater por- tions of Alberta, Saskatchewan, North Dakota and Ontario :-est of the great lakes, while they also en- ter Montana and Minnesota. Its discharge has been roughly estimat- ed at five times that of the Ottawa River at the Chaudiere falls at Ottawa. Many soundings were taken over the greater part of its length and depths of water were found front fifty to sixty feet, with a current not exceeding two or three miles an hour. LAKE \WINNIPEG. Lake Winnipeg furnishes an ex- tension of this water route to with- in twenty miles of the city of Win- nipeg. From informati •'n obtain- able it is said that a canal might be built along the Nelson River which would enable ocean-going steamers to enter Lake \Vinu►peg, where a good channel, the mini- mum depth of which is thirty-three feet., already exists to the south end of the lake. The amount of power which is available for devel- opment along the Nelson River is enormous, and places the Hudson Bay Railway in a very favorable po- sition to use electricity for the op- eration of its trains.
