quire cif the but to fear him * * powerless to resist tomptation and
and to love him?—Deateronomy, x., to bear patiently hard trials and
12. miefortunes. Fear and love of God
Tho term fear has a double mean- will infuse us with itetmisen and for-
titude and enable us to conquer sin,
to surmount obstacles and to mel-
ee= all the difficulties of life. It is
therefore a grievous error to attach
more importauce to secular educe -
time than to fear and love of God.
Visit the prieone and you will ilna
that most of the inmates studied
geography, mathematics, natural sci-
ences, a.c., yet their education did
not prevent them from falling a prey
to sin. Consider the largo number
of individuals who commit self-de-
struction. Most, of them were en-
dowed with seceder education, but
it does not restrain them from the
heinous crime of robbing themselves
of life—the most precious gift that
heaven bestowed on them.
If, however, the tenets of true re-
ligion have been inculcated in otrr
soul tdul have iropressed us with a
knowledge of God's omnipotence and
greatness, of His museeeakable good-
ness and benevoleace. of Blis affable
and
ing. In the first plaee it expresses
a feeling of dread and terror; thon,
owls° of reverence card veneration.
ear in its second meaning is that
3vhinh'oui text is referred—for tha
simple reasoa, because the Almighty
is the source of goodness and love,
"From Hem enumates no evil." The
iclea of and belier in Him should
therefore not imbue us with fright
and apprehension, but with awe and
respect. The son who is afraid of
his father cannot truly love him.
Only respect and love go hand in
hand. "What doth the Lord thy
Grid require of thee but to fear Him
and to love IBM?'
FEAR Or GOD
Will cause us to eschew sin and in-
iquity, and love of God will inspire
us with an ardent desire to do His
will, yes, to perform acts of righte-
ousness. How indispensably neces-
sary is it for us and 1 or our chil-
dren to be possessed of the two sub-
lime virtues, vis„ fear and love of
God. Their attainment, which con-
stitutes the sum and substance of
tree religion, is productive of incal-
culable good. Their acquasiLion
should precede that of secular educa-
tion. 'The beginning 'of wisdom is
fear of God." For, while secular
education may enhance oter social
and material welfare, fear and love
of God will improve our moral
standard and enable us to become
holy and useful.
While secular education has a ten-
dency to stimulate us In our world-
ly pursuits and in our greediness
alter the accennulation of wealth,
fear and love of God are calculated
to imbue us with contentment and
cheerfulness, which aro the chief re-

Our secular education will then be
instrumental in attaining such ends
as will heighten our reverence and
increase our love toward our Heav-

we shall not despair, for we sball
firmly believe that every affliction
which comes upon us from Him is a
blessing in disguise. And in time
of prosperity we shall not be puffed

THE SNOW -MAN.
He was a beautiful snow-reaxil Will
and Carl and Bob liad worked on
him all one forenoon. He stood
elose to the parlor window with his
back to it, and he was so tall that
bis head reached up to the middle
of tho lower pane. He had no hands
nor feet, /or the boys were only very
little boys, and. hands and feet are
hard to make; but he had ears and a
very largo nose and mouth, and two
staring black eyes. These oyes were
not the same size, because Bob went
twice to the cellar for coal to make
them with, and being the smallest
of the boys, he forgot how large the
first eye Was when he went for the
second.

grease the wheels or the boosehold.
To Remove Coffee Stains,—Coree
stains, even when there is cream in
the coffee, can be removed from the
most delicate silk or woollen fabrics
by brushiag the spots with pure
UlYeerine. Rinse In hike -wanes water
and press on the wrong side with ft

both the coloring matter and the

LIP Selve.—latke tom ounces of
sweet almond oil, two oences Pre-

roses; steep a small. quantity of al -
'tenet root in the oil and strain be-
fore ueing. Meit the suet, wax, and
spermaceti together, then add the
oil and otto of roses. Colter with a
few drops of carmine if liked,
"What good 'boys!" be said.
"Anyi to -morrow, when we go out-
doors," said Will, "we must change
his eyes back again. so he can see
us then."
"Yes, we will," said Carl, and
they all said good -night to him as
they went oft to bed.
.For many days after they moved
his eyes back and forth each day, so
that he should never be lonely any
more.
Ite was very happy, sons tho snow-
man. He stood by tho parlor win-
dow till the sun grew so warm that
he began to melt. Then, one day,
when the boys were in at lunch, his
black eyes fell out for the last time.
And before ha sank down into a heap
of snow, "They are good boys," said
the snow -man, "very good boys, are
Will and Carl and Bob."
Nowever, they did very well, Etnci
the snow -man was very happy. As
he felt himself growing. bit by bit,
and the cold wind alew upon hill),
he longed for eyes to look round,
and when his head was at last fin-
ished, and he could see, it seemed to
him that there was never such a
beautiful yard as his, nor three such
fine boys anywhere as Will and Carl
alai Bob.
They put an old bat on his head
and then tried to knock it od, whicb
seemed strange to the enow-man; but
he bore it very good-naturedly be-
cause -he could not help himself, any-
way, and one might ae well be good-
natured over what one cannot help,
33esicles, Will had Made a very smil-
ing mouth for him, and one cannot
feel cross when one has to smile.
"These are very good boys," he said
to hitnself, "and if they like to
throev snowballs at me it must be
right" And when the boys went
in to lunch he was very lonesome.
So he Watched the sparrows hunt
in tho snow for crumbs; and he saw
a little dog come running up the
street, barking for very joy. "It
must be a, cheerful world," said lie,
- "but I wish the boys would come
back."
Tho afternoon slowly passed. He
could hear Win and Carl and Bob at
PlaY In the parlor behind him, and
lie Woe very lonely. The sun shone
full upon him, and a tear trielded
down front his eye, "They have for-
gotten me," he said. But Bobbie
came out in the yard jest then to
hunt for a lost mitten, and he saw
the tear, Being a very little boy,
Ito understood.
"Poor man!" he said, ruunieg Up

DON'TS: TO BOYS AND GIRLS.
Don't talk too much, and try to
always say something worth whele
when you do speak. No greater
bore in society than he or she who
talks incessantly. Others beside
one's self have ideas to advance.
Brilliant conversation depends upon
intellectual listeners as well as talk-
ers. Cultivate a low, well -modulat-
ed voice, and avoid excitability in
speech and manner.
Don't be egotistical over any -un-
usual talent you may possess, and
never call the attention of others
to your attainments. Genius is its
own standard-bearer and self -praise
dims its own lustre.
Don't be foolish enough to repeat
compliments others have paid you.
It is a sure sign of self -vanity and
O frivolous mind,
Don't be sloven in your dress. To
be well-groomed pronommes the lady
and the gentleman, and is the great-
est recommendation to a young per-
son entering society or businese.

Lesson XII. Healing of the Nan
Born Blind, Golden Text,
John ix., .5%
This miracle is manifestly an
enacted parable; its spiritual import
completely pushes aside all other
ineaninge, and it seems e'en to di-
vide it accordiug to its spiritual
teaching's.
I. Sin and Soionce (verses I, 2).
Our story is of a men born blind,
O beggar sitting by the wayside
(verse 8). The interest of the dis-
ciples in him was not philantheopic,
but philosophic—analogous to the in-
terest of modern science in the out-
cast and the "submerged." The
question concerning the origin of
this particular evil is not so illogi-
cal as at first it sounds, What,
after ell, is the justification of hu-
man suffering? Tile problem presses
upon us to -clay, lauesieleas eaneeee,
ing the origin and consoquonces of
vice and squalor have risen as high
as inoclern scholarship. All obtain-
able data have been classified by
charities organization societies and
examined by sociologists, political
economists, and psychologists. This
Is well. The question should be
studied -more and more. But learning
ancl wisdom are wasted upon it ex-
cept the study is made a first step
toward the sympathetic relief of suf-
fering.
II. Sin and the Saviour (verses
8-7).
Our Lord is not to be understood
as stating that either this tran or
his parents wero sinless, nor that
neither this man nor bis parents lead
contributed to his present sad cone
dition; but. that, while from a philo-
sophic poine of y1090 SUfili (111091i OTIS
might have their value, from the
point of view of the God of salvo,
tion this man existed in misery to
be made blessed and liappy. He was
blind "that the works of God should
bo made manifest In him." Jesus
puts hiinself forth as God's represen-
tative, worlcing the %Yorks of God;
but whilo God is always in the world
there is a limit to the Saviour's
physical presence here- "The night
cometh when no man can work." To
the disciples' question Jesus re -
spends, "So long as 1 am in the
world 1 am its light." S To trace

Immense amounts of cotton fabrics
were made for Japanese consumption,

It will be remembered that there art
something like 41.0,000,000 people
in China, and 95 per centof these
wear cotton clothing. The demand,
therefore, can bo imagineo. Until the

The popular prejudice against
snails in incomprehensiele when the
favor of °raters, periwinale% iallasels
and cockles is consicleeed says the
Lonclon Globe. In many London las-
taurants, particularly in Soho, snails
now figure on the daily menu. This
is an imported taste 1001)1 France,
but in the West Country snails are
highly esteemed by the lower classeS.
A year or two ago a clergyman cited
as en illustration of poverty in Bris-
tol that he had seen worlcitig girls
pick snails off a wall and eat them.
As a matter of fact, the snail is
eXtensively eaten in Somerset and
Cloucestersbire, both as a dainty and
a medicine, There are nien who make
a living by collecting snails and sell-
ing them under the name of "wall
fish." Boiled in their shells, they are
picked out and eaten with bread and
butter, being accounted a great lux-
ury and very nourishing. In pulmon-
ary diseases they probably rank as a.

PAUPEPI. AND THE CORPSE.
Gruesome Joke Played by Iamate
of a Workhouse.
VERY EXCELLENT EATING,
add only prejudice can gainsay tho
fact. Old and wornout horses can-
not afford either eourishing or palata-
ble meat, but that of a home reared
like an ox, for the table, has a finer
fibre and' flavor than beef, though
darker in color. It is served in the
best 'French restaurants, an well as
beieg largely eaten by the people.
"It was in Paris," wrote Mr, Van-
den), the author of "An Englishman
in Paris," "that I learned how the
cat had been miejtidged. Call the
dog the friend of man if you like,
but don't at him. Fry him, stow
him, boil or bake him, do what you
will, his flesb is and remains oily
and flabby, with a strong flavor of
castor oil. But I declare that stew-
ed puss is far finer than stewed rab-
bit." '
This testimony the writer can per-
sonally cOrroborate, having recently
been invited to"a dinner 'given by a
gourmet of eccentrio tastes. The dish
