Nevertheless, the one -talent man
feels sorely his disadvantage, and
i.; tempted, as in the parable, to
complain and churlishly sit down
and attempt nothing. This ten-
dency the great teacher here means
to reprove. He shows that God
rewards men not in proportion to
their gifts. but to the use they make
of them. To the one who doubles
his one talent the very same power
it given as to the one who multi-
plies his ten talents.

SICK HEADACHE.
SPAiN IS AWAKENING.
Dawn of a New Era is at Hand for
the Country.
There is much leeway to be made
up ere Spain comes into lino with
modern methods. Only ten years
asp there wore 250 schoolmasters in
ono province alone whose salaries
d:d not amount to $90 per annum
each'. A joke was formerly current
of a policeman who found the dead
body of a man in the public high-
way. In making out his report for
the authorities he was at a loss how
to describe the profession of the de-
ceased, there being no papers by
which to identify him. In his per-
plexity the officer consulted the
magistrate investigating the affair.
"Of what did he die V' asked this
worthy. "Of starvation, your Hon-
or." ''Then write him down a
schoolmaster," was the reply. This
"joke" explains 73 per cent. of the
cause of Spain's present condition.
But the lesson is now being learned,
though tardily, that the ferrule is
more powerful than the bullet.
An observant traveller in the days
antecedent to even the Grand Tour
tells of a cobbler in Madrid who
e hon he went to a customer's house
lo try on a pair of new shoes al-
ways took with hint his two appren-
tices, one to carry each shoe, and
"away he struts in his satin suit,
cloak, and dagger like somebody.
The principles of that cobbler still
obtain largely in all ranks of so-
ciety. The reverence for depart -d
greatness all too frequently ob-
scures the necessity for present ac-
tion. Spain, after her glorious
achievements of the fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries, sank into a
Rip Van Winkle -like slumber and
has dreamed on ever since. But the
dawn of a new era is at hand and
the possibilities for a wise Govern-
ment art great.
One of the many reforms to t
grappled with is that of the admin-
istration of the law. There is an
old proverb that "Justice in Spain
i.; long and bad," and tho gipsies

II. Paul's Experience at Troas.—
Vs. 0-12. Paul and his company re-
mained a week at Truss, a seaport
on the Aegean Sea, a number of
miles south of Horner's Troy. They
reached Troas five days after the
Passover, which in A. 1). 57 was
celebrated April 7-14. Paul, on tho
evening of the Lord's day, held a
preaching service and holy commun-
ion in an upper chamber. As Paul
was to sail the next morning the Danzig
service lasted till midnight. A
young man named Eutychus was
sitting in the latticed window of
the third story. The place was
crowded and hot, the hour was late,
and the young ratan was weary, so
he was overpowered by sleep and
fell down three stories to the
ground and was taken up for dead.
Paul immediately went down by the
outside stairs common in Oriental
houses, and fell on hien, embracing
him, as Elijah in the case of the
son of the widow of Zarephath 1.
Kings 17: 21), and Elisha, in that
t.; the Shunammitc'a son. Doubtless
Paul prayed as earnestly as those
prophets, "and the close contact,
the clasp of warm affection gave
new intensity to the prayer of
faith." His prayer was answered,
and the young man was restored•
The whole incident was very im-
pressive and also comforting. It
revealed the love, the faith and the
power of Paul and the religion he
represented.

When Making Plaits.—In snaking
plaits in skirts, particularly in
%cash materials, if the plaits are
stitched on the inside close to the
outer edge where it is creased
about half way down the plaits will
always be easy to keep in place
when ironed.
Corset Covers.—To make the
embroidery corset covers, cut out
the half circles for the arms, from
the top of these half circles cut a
strip to go over the shoulders and
stitch in place on the machine,
trim the armholes evenly and hem.
The part over the shoulders will
br like the rest of the cover and
ail} look much better than if a dif-
ferent kind of beading is used. Tho
bottom can be finished with stitch-
ed plaits from the waist line to the
bottom or with a peplum.
Tailor's Hint.—A skirt could :ie
finished in the same way a tailor
finishes men's trousers. Tho skirt
binding braid may be stitched at
the bottom in the usual way, but
when turning it up to baste put in
a strip of mending tissue the width
of the braid, and press with a hot
iron. Fasten the braid at each
seam and you have a much neater
finished skirt than by tho old me-
thod.
Two Uses of Elastic.—A great
many girls use rubber bands to
keep their short sleeves in place,
but a far better way is to make a
pair of elastic arm bands about
one-fourth of an inch wide and just
big enough to slip over the elbow
without stretching. They are ser-
viceable and comfortable and do

Luke was probably present at the
meeting, so that be was able to re-

speaking the truth. What ho had
done and taught was an example
for them to follow, and on inspira-
tion to faithfulness.

BON US FOR CHILDREN.
Two French Savants Propose a
Scheme.
The grave problem presented by
r~ decliug birth rate is again dis-
tressing France, which is particu-
larly engaged at this moment in
weighing the merits claiincd for a
plan proposed by Prof. Charles
Richet, of the Academy of Medicine
and M. Leroy -Beaulieu. The scheme
proposes a system of bonuses for
children, the bonus growing as the
number of children in one family
grows ; that is, while' the parents
get nothing in consideration of
the first child, they get 50of. for
the second, 1,000 for the third, and
se on.
Prof. Richet believes that births
will be increased annually by 750,-
0000 or 1,000,000 at, the cost to the
State of 30,000,000f. yearly. This
expenditure is to be met by death
duties. They plan laying a tax of
50 per cent. on ail collateral be-
quests and confiscating half the es-
tate in case there is only one child.
M. Leroy -Beaulieu further would
reduce the salaries of unmarried
employes of the State as well as
of those with only one child, or
with none five years after marri-
age.
Naturally the proposition has
aroused warm opposition. It is
asked whether the class which
would be reached by such an offer
is one worthy to be the parents of
future generations. There aro not
lacking those who affirm that the
prosperity of France rests on the
,rinciple of the small family, and
s very big job indeed for anybody
to tackle. For ono thing, no out-
sider knows the actual position of
the principal treasure vaults.
The bullion room into which or-
dinary visitors to the Bank are con-
ducted is moro for show than use,
and usually contains only about
£2,000,000 worth of bar gold. It is,
in fact, little more than a white-
