Asa matter of cold, physical tact it is as absurd as Edison's fam- ous proposition to set the 41efe91d- era of a fort squirting eleetrified water upon its assailants and send- ing paralyzing shocks through their bodies, The funny part of the. pic- ture is that it shows the balloon to be much nearer the warship than the warship is to the balloon. Preacher Says Conscience Does Not flake Cowards of Men. Our glory is this, the testimony of our conscience,—II, (lose i. -12, Paul's statement is the answer to the question, Does conscience. make onwards of us all/ It is en emphatie no. A gift of God, con- science could not be the' curse it would be if it made its owner a victim of abject fear. It may make one afraid of the punitive sanction of the law. If so it is a salutary check, but does not unnerve, The best among us, when the blood burns and greed goads needs to have the awfulness of an offended Deity fleshed terrifyingly upon him. Such a warning engenders a caution which implies' courage, not pusil- lanimity. He of Tarns when He calls conscience our glory lifts that faculty up tothe dignity which is its by every right, divine and human. Long before the immense 'bulk of the balloon was near enough tothe battleship to drop dynamite upon it the expert riflemen on the ves- sel would have made the balloon look like a sieve, killed every man in it and wrecked the machinery until the thing would drop helpless - 1y into the ocean. The ship which Mr. Nixon proposes to build is al- most as big as a Township, It is at least very mueb larger than the largest battleship afloat, being feet long by 80 fest wide. No mat- ter how much they may improve the steering of balloons, they must always be much more difficult to direct than a warship. In a. con- test between the two at sea we would very much prefer to take our chances oe the warship rather than in the balloon.

Myers is a farmer living about ten miles from this city, and also is engaged in money leaning. It was when he went to his safe to deposit a payment that heti been made on a mortgage that he discovered his loss. The money was taken while a family re -union_ was in progress at the Myers home last fall, and in spite of the efforts to keep it secret the story leaked out about as seen as the money was found, Myers kept his money at hone, because he did not believe in banks, but he has changed his plans, and the banks now tae care of his sur- plus thousands. He was thought to possess only an ordinary amount of money, and the disclosures brought about over the losing and finding of the $53,000 caused much surprise in his family and among the residents of the district in general. Detectives have been working on the ease since last fall. WHAT CONSCIENCE DOES. Conscience makes us cowards' No 1 But it unmasks cowards. It reveals every character of which the fiber makes not for intrepidity. Where manhood is, conscience in- spires prowess; where cowardice is, it exposes the aspen trembling of him who dares not battle for the right. Man's glory and man's shame come from the evidence of conscience. By its declaration he is acquitted or condemned. Its ver- dict garbs him with a glory which dazzles in the dark ways of life or accuses him of backsliding from ideals into the slough of mean as- pirations, corrupt desires and dis- honest practices. The noblest thing we can say of a man is that his word is his bond and that his bond is stronger; than corporations or trusts or any of the associations of men, ..hat has fortilied such a man so W impregnably is the courage with which he has followed the rugger- tions of cousoience. As it bade he gave to. God what was God's and to Caesar what was Caesar's. No man can da more. Such a one, whether confronting the terror of unpre- cedented adversity or riding on the highest wave of prosperity, whether in war or in peace, in health or in sickness, in life or in death, whether summoned by God or by his fellows, is sublimely unafraid. THE HERALD OF LAW. Before the. bar of unpurchasable justice the testimony, of a man's conscience is the umpire of his fate, no matter what his creed may be. As he has treated his conscience• here so will it deal with him then. Yet conscience is only the herald of the law. It gives light, but the strength which the will needs to obey its behests must descend from above. Here religion comes to the rescue. That religion must be heaven -born. No religion can prove that its charter is divine un- less it make it irrefutably clear that it holds within its gift a light which so illumines conscience as to make it inerrant and endows man's' will with a robustness which makes it indomitable. A man whose conscience is, so en- lightened and whose will is so panoplied can never be a coward, but always and everywhere a hero. REV. P. A. HALPIN. THE S. S.

If you were to find yourself sud- denly transported into the Sul- tan of Turkey's kitchen, you would probably be unable to tell that you were in a kitchen at all. The room looks more like a fortress than a place where one would expect Im- perial meals to be cooked, for it has an armor -plated door, and is fitted with locks which can only be opened by one man. When pre- pared, each course is placed cm a silver dish, which is then sealed by the "kelardjlri"--the official re- sponsible for the Sultan's food. A long procession then follows the meal into the Imperial chamber, where the Sultan is seated, and there the seals are broken. The "kelardjhi" is often required to taste one or other of the dishes be- fore the mighty one nartakes. BLOTTERS AND STATE SECRETS.

For a cardinal's hat'cannot be worn like any ordinary "piece of headgear. Indeed, it is not really a hat at all, but a flat, pancake - like square of red cloth, destitute alike of either . -brim or crown. The first thing the new cardinal bas to do, therefore, after paying out the $10,000, is go out and buy himself a hat which he can put on. Even this one is pretty_ expensive, if or there :are only about half -a - dozen shops in Europe which stock them, and the proprietors natural- ly keep up the priee to a remunera tive level. It is, too, exceedingly heavy anti uncomfortable, being composed' of a kind of thick cardboard material, hovered with the fine cloth used for billiard tables, but dyed, of coarse,' a, brilliant red, and it is ornamented with gold cord and tassels,. It costs about $40, and four or five of them are needed by the cardinal every year. The $10,000 hat hangs above the altar in the private chapel of His Eminence during his life, and at death is buried with him. Faith.— Vs. 23-31.

What Faith Is.—Vs. 1-3. How does the writer define faiths Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Many of the trials here enumerated occurred in great violence during the times of the Maccabees. MAIN CAT THAT CAN COUNT. 'Missed One KHAN', Went After it Five Miles.

Allow dirty sponges to stand in this for a short time, when they will bo quite clean and free from crease. Rinse in cold water.

A Substitute for a Hot -Water Bottle.—Make a bag of linen or cali- co to measure. When made about Min. by 10in, fill with nice clean sand and sew up ab the end. Place in tate oven until thoroughly hot, then slip into a flannel bag. It is then ready for use, and, will retain the heat much longer than an earthenware heating jar. In Place of Firewood.—When fire- wood is scarce in the home it is a good plan to eke it out when fire - lighting (or use instead of it) a sheet of newspaper, rolled very tightly end.then tied twice, if possible; in a hard knot. One who has tried fire -lighting in .this way declares that five or six of these knots will kindle a firs without any firewood. How to Believe Choking,—Rais- ing hoking, ]Iais-ing the left arm as high as you can will relieve choking • much more rapidly than by being thumped on the back. Very frequently at meal times, and when they are at play, children getchokedvvhile eating, and the customary way of relieving thein is to slap thorn sharply on the back. The effect of this is to set the obstruction free, so that it can be swallowed. The same thing can be brought about by raising the left hand of the child as high as pos- sible, and the relief comes much more rapidly. The Baby and its Thumb. If the baby persists in sucking his fat little thumb, here is a way to in- duce him to stop. Make a pair of light -weight white flannel bags con- siderably larger than the baby's band, and, when the small child be- gins to suck his thumb, put the lit- tle hands inside the bag, fasten the top of the bag with a shield, and pin to the sleeve of the dress. Baby won't like it, of course, but it will cure him of the habit more quickly than any other method. Many babies wear the little bags until they fall asleep at night, and then they are taken off. To spoil a carpet sweep it with a stiff, half worn broom, but to save a carpet dip your broom in clean, hot suds once a week, then shako it out and hang it up to dry. This will make a broom last almost twice as long as it otherwise would. Rugs should be beaten on the wrong side, then swept on the right side. Spots may be removed by the use of oxgall or ammonia and water, using e, sponge or flannel. Slightly moistened bran is equally as good as salt in brigbtening rugs and carpets. Vinegar will remove lime spots, soot from an open chimney or the cardless handling of stovepipes can be removed by covering thickly with salt, and this afterwards. can be brushed up quickly without in- jury to the carpets, Spirits of ammonia, diluted with water, if ap- plied with sponge or flannel to dis- colored spots will often restore the color. Remove ink stains with milk and after soaking up all that seems pos- sible, either sprinkle thickly with salt or wash with a pure white soap, a clean " brush and warm water. For grease spots use powdered magnesia, fuller's earth, or buck- wheat flour. Sprinkle an spots and let it lie until grease is absorbed. Renew the flour or other absorbent material as often as necessary. Housewives are cautioned to Took out for the carpet moth early in, spring. When carpet moths are dis- covered, after removing all arti- ficial lights in the room, saturate the cracks in the floor with benzine.

Similar experiments in the past have seldom been wholly success- ful, and some have resulted'disas- trously.
