Mrs. Richard Lobb, Red Dor, Alta., saps: 'At that critical period In my life known as the change 1 uf- tered, se much that I hardly hoped to pull through.

Happiness is foond where it is not sought. The value of anything depepels on its nteaning to you. Perhaps the golden rule means a cubic deal as well as a square one. The pity felt by some depends on whether the purse is left at home. Some fear they have no piety unless it is in a pathological coudition. History depends not on great leaders alone, but on many lesser followers. We possess no truth other than that we work out of life far ourselves. It's hard work to lie about your reli- gion and be honest in your business. You cannot make whipped cream by lashing up a skimmed milk sermon. A good cure for pretended moral lame- ness may be a genuine physical kick. Holiness is gladly to say "I will" be- fore the divine law says °Thou shalt." How would you feel to find the asses- sor's" books waiting you at the judg- ment? The man who is -pious to win heaveu would be the opposite if it seemed to pay better.

KITCHEN IN WHITE AND BLUE. / find, says it writer in The House- keeper, that a kitchen in white and blue makes the work in it it positive pleasure. In my kitchen the woodwork, water boil- er and pipes are all painted white. The /allots are enameled dark blue. The kitehen utensils were first painted white end when perfectly dry were giv- en a good eoat of bloe enamel. White cheesecloth. curtains, with a stenciled border in blue, are hung itt the windows, besides blue linen. shades, I use white - oil cloth to cover the tables and shelves which adds to the plasing effect. Where kitchen work is disliked and it is pos. sible to remodel a kitchen out these lints, what has been drudgery evill soon be- come a pleasure.

The old men of this eity .are no less interesting. Every day in the noon hoor, whea the children come home from school they stop in front of the library windowof the most fashionable club in town and giggle at the display of bald heads lined up inside ageinst background of outspread newspapers. But they do not dare giggle audibly, for to show any disrespect toward its old eitizens is to commit as grave a crime in 13oon as to insult the Kaiser in 13er- lin. At night after dinner is the real time when the graybeards assemble. Melly, many years ago, when the club was first established, there was a group. of eleven men who banded: together and agreed to meet Ratite Sta,mbisch, a table reserved for them, every day. Of these eleven six aro still living, each a apeeimen of joy- ful old age. First there is the general, who velks as straight as a 'ramrod and who salutes his comrades in the military fashion; then there is the retired Major, who would like to walk the way he used to, but is now forced to let his shoulders droop under the weight of his years and. his cares. The third ie the proud possessor of the longest and the whitest beard in the place, and the fourth glories in the fact that he never asked a doctor a question in his life. The fifth counts ninety-two years to his credit, but works so hard over his books all day long that he does not find the time to attend the club regularly. He used to walk there and back in all norta of weather—a distance of a mile •er so -- but now he has to ride one way, much to his disgust. However, he won't ad- ntit that he's growing old and insists that it's only rheumatism he's got in his bones. Then he is re -assured in his belief that he is still very young, 'hen the ninety -five-year-old grandfather of the company comes np to him, pate bim TUMO F YEARS WT Removed by Lydia E.

Indeed, very frequently the "utterer" has no iden- tity of the manufaeturer nor of the locality whisre he resides. Another aif- fieulty is that in it great many in- stancee people inc in possession of bad money without knowing it, and if the police arrested every person in pot - session of eounterfeit coin they would have their hands full.

The same thing is done with "lucky sixpences," and as a grefte many people are perfectly willing to nay the full valfie end sometimee mere for a sixpence with it hole in it, the fraud is fairly lucrative.

It is the intention of those behind the movement to issue a "Dickens stamp" to sell for a penny, English money (2 cents), and to be sold throughout the year 1911, pending the celebration of the Dickens centenary in 1912. Dickens lotscre throughout the world aro to be urged to buy as many of these stamps as they own copies of Dickens books, and to af- fix a stamp to each book as a token that that book at least him netted a penny for tho Dickens familo.

It is conservatively -estimated that there aro in circulation now about 24,000,000 copies of Dickens' booke.

In the heart of London, where the busy Strand changes its name and becomes equally busy Fleet street, one may turn. into a narrow lane running south between two rows of buildings. In a moment the many noises of the street inelt into a steady limn, and here, a few steps farther on, one enters the quiet in - closure where stands the Temple Church, gray and weather -worn with the storms and sunshine of 700 years. In the shadow of this building lies it little churchyard, and hither every year come many visitors, because more than it century ago, Oliver Goldsmith 'was buried here. For this quaint, clever, big-hearted Irishman, 'awkward and homely as he was, seems to find as warm a place th- day in the hearts of those who read his books or laugh ot his play as he did in the, hearts of those who knew him when be lived,—From "The near of of Wakefield," in October St. Nicholas. A Vermont Sheriff's Effort at Prac- • float Reform. A jail where prisoners are encourag- ed to go forth without guards and eerie money for themselves, mut where they are not only allowed to attend eircuses, and other entertainments, but also oc- casionally given tickets by the Sheriff, is the unique institution of Montpelier, in whiele Sheriff Frank IL Tracy, of Washington County is practising his theory of "correction and encourage- ment instead of punishment." The very latest example of Sheriff Tracy's application of this theory was on "circus clay" in Montpelier when he gave circus tickets to eleven of "the boys," as he calls his guests, and told them to go out anct enjoy themselves, but to be gore to be back in time for supper. There was to be a particularly -good sapper that night aud besides the rest of "the boys" were away working and wanted to hear all about the big show. These othereouldhave gone al- so, but they were busy hayieg for farm- ers near thie.city and wanted the money. This incident of the circus is only an example of the spirit of the Washing- ton conrgy jail. Also it is a proof of what Sheihff Tracy has predicted ever slime the passing by the Vermolit State LeglillatUre of. the prion labor law. This law permits the working of prison- ers outsiao the jails on the stipulation that all duet a man makes over a dol. Inc a day it Ids owe.

Doke of York, was much loved and left Greenwich Hospital for disabled sailors as her memorial. `Mary Queen of Scots (1p4ntis7), was brought up at the French Court, marry- ing the Dauphin, and others.

Every dealer everywhere., The Imporial Oil Co4td. ibriterie *aft; The Qat* Gir OUC, Sacred Song. (Canadian Baptist.) In the shaping of thought and the making of character as much depends upon what is sung as upon what is said. The hand that is upon the harp is event- ually the hand that holds the sceptre. The makers of a nation's songs are the moulders of the nation's life. This feet was instinctively realized by the evan- gelical congregations af Great Britain centuries ago. The Psalms were tena- ciously: adhered to in Scotland, not from asemi-idolatrous devotion to them, but e b catme of a settled determination to reject whatever might weaken the foun- dations of sound doctrine. In England and Wales, those churches which earn- estly sought to conform to the New Tes- tatnent patterns were more concerned about what they sang than they were. about how they were to sing, In those days the old Latin hymns were not used in the churches which sought to be in exact line with the churches mentionea in scripture. The essential truths of the "To Deum" were very precious to them. A valued hymnist of those days was John Cennick. Many of his hymns - will live forever, They are saturatel with the truth, and full of the warmth of the gospel message. His rendering of the "To Deum" was extensively used in the noreconformiat churches a few generations ago. By many of them it is still used and urized. There is scrip- tural significance in his presentation of the thought in the verse: 'Throughout the world thy churches joie' To call on Thee, their Head, Brightness of Majesty Divine Who every power hot made."
