COMMENCE
There's a divinity that shapes oar ends
Rough-hew them as we will.
A celebrated singer volunteered dm -
leg the war to sing to British troops.
Among the stories she tells of her ex-
periences, the following_ is in scene re-
spects the most pathetic and. inspiriup.
Very early after she volunteered she
was' singing at a. big training camp in
England. . According to her custom,
she invited the inen to write their re-
quest5 on slips of paper and place
then upon the iltano. Among tile slips
was one that read, "Will you please
sing Does Jesus Care?"
The lady was not familiar with the
hymn, but she memorized the music
and words and sang it. Although she
shook hands with all the men in the
Large .hut as they went out, no one
spoke to her about the hymn.
Several months later she was sing-
ing at Chatham to a number of troops
who were to leave for France the next
morning, Among the slips of paper
on the piano there appeared the ques-
tion again, "Will you please sing Does
Jesus Caro?" The lady immediately
sang the comforting message of that
simple little .hymn, while the leen sat
as If spellbound. A few weeks passed,
and the singer went to France.
One night in a large Y,M.C.A. but
in a base—town not far from the Eines
she was singing to troops who were
sander orders to leave for the front.
Looking through the notes placed on
the piano, she was startled to find
again. in the same handwriting, "Will
you please sing Does Jeus Care?"
She speedily complied with the re-
quest.
"This is the third time I have had
this rerinost from the same soldier,"
she said to her,auclience after she had
sung. "May I -have the privilege of
speaking to him after the concert?"
'When the concert was over, a young
soldier came to her and explained that
years ago that hymn had been blessed
to him in one of Dr. Torrey's missions,
and he thanked her for singing it so
readily. They both realized the
strangeness of their meeting so re-
peatedly and felt that a Divine Provi-
dence was emphasizing the meaning
of the hymn.
Scree months afterwards the lady
visited a big hospital. In ward after
ward she sang to the sick and wound-
ed. Then she was asked if she would
sing in the isolation ward, where only
the hopeless and most extreme cases
were kept. The singer declares that
she will never forget the sad sights of
that ward. One man, she was told,
had been very anxious to speak to her
eves since he heard that she was com-
ing. They drew aside the curtains of
a bed where the plan lay in s•emidark-
nese. He was very ill, hardly likely
to live more than an hour or so. In a
faint whisper he said to the singer:
"Will you—please sing Does—Jesus
—Care?"
Looking closer, she saw that it was
her friend of the previous meetings—
now lying at death's very door. Con-
trolling her emotion, she went to the
piano and softly and sweetly sang the
tender message of the love of Jesus.
While she sang he died. The Divine
Love that had kept pace with him
every step of the way had opened the
gates of pearl to his tortured spirit.
it is any wonder that the singer
loves that hymn above all others?
The Cleanly Racoon.
The racoon has a habit that is not
indulged in by any other animal. If
given a piece of meat, writes Dr. R.
W. Shufeidt in the American 'Forestry
Magazine, he will not touch a mouth-
ful until he has washed it in as clear
water as be can find. He will allow
no one to do this for him.
So thoroughly does he perform this
• task that he not only soaks all the
-blood out of the meat but actually re-
duces it to a very uninviting, flabby
piece of pale flesh. Ito will roll it
over and over in t11e water with his
forepaws and give it oecasionai shak-
ings by seizing it in his mouth, Final-
ty, when it is semimacerated to his
liking, he Will devour it with apparent
relish,
The writer has tried racoons with
pieces of raw (neat; and, although the
'" animal will hold the piece in his
mouth, he will immediately commence
to hant'round for some water to wash
it in. Failing to find any, he soon ex-
hibits his distress and annoyance; in
fact, he must be very hungry indeed
before he will condescend to eat a
piece of raw meat that he has not pre-
, iously washed to his complete .satis-
factioii7.
Racoons will also wash an ear of
corn in the same fashion, and it was
this habit that prompted Linnaeus to
bestow the specific name of fetor upon
this interesting animal.

Battery, Bell, and Button
Combined in One Case.
Arguing that the dry battery of a
household doorbell system dies finally
of chemical action, and not exhaus-
tion, really supplying very little cur-
rent, an American concern now has
brought out 'a ball using tiny flash-
light batteries.' One of these, in two
or three -cell size, is • contained in the
round metal base of the bell itself,
making a compact set of ornamental
appearance. A button on the base
makes the set self-contained for desk
use, while as a door -bell, the regular
button is connected to posts on the
base, no other wiring being necessary.

The Giant.
By Charles Mackay
(Charles Mackay (1814.1889) was a
famous, Scottish poet and journalist,
Be was New York correspondent Qf (Lift Right Off Without Pain
the London 'limos during the Civil
War. He was the author of a .number
of poems that will have an eternal
place in English literature.)
There came a Giant to my door—
A Giant, fierce and strong;
His step was heavy on the floor,
His arms wore ten yards long.
Ile scowled and frowned; he shook
the ground;
I trembled through and through
At length I looked flim in the face
And cried, "Who cares for you?"
"CORN??
The mighty Giant, as I spoke,
Grew pale and thin and small,
And through his body, as 'twere
smoke,
I saw the sunshine fall -
His blood -red eyes turned blue as
skies;
"Is this," I cried with growing pride,
"Is this the nighty foe?"
He sank before my earnest face,
He vanished quite away,
And left no shadow in his place
Between me and the day.
Such Giants come. to strike us dumb,
]3ut, weak in every part,
They melt before the strong man's
eyes
And fly the true of heart.
GUARD THE CHILDREN
FRU AUTUMN COLS:
The Fall is the most severe season
of the year for colds—one day is
warm, the next cold and wet and -un-
less the mother is on her guard, the
little ones are seized with colds that
may hang on all winter. Baby's Own
Tablets are mothers' best friend in
preventing or banishing colds. They
act as a gentle laxative, keeling the
bowels and stomach free and sweet.
An occasional dose of the Tablets will
prevent colds, or if it does come on
suddenly their prompt use will relieve
the baby. The Tablets- are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25
cents a box from The Dr. Williams'
medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Greatest Amber Mine in the World
The only important amber mine in
the world is at Palmnicken, in East
Prussia, Out of it is dug a bluish
earth, which is mixed with flowing
water to separate out the chunks of
amber plentifully distributed through
it. -
Ages ago the plains in that part of
the world were covered with forests
of a kind of pine, now long extinct,
The trees were rich producers of a
gum which ran down their trunks,
solidified in masses and remained im-
perishable while the trees themselves
decayed and turned to dust.
This gum, now fossil, is what we
call amber. Muck of it was carried by
rivers, with the soil containing it, into
the Baltc Sea, the bottom of which to-
day is so- thickly strewn with the stuff
that steamers go after it with dredges
and divers make a business of collect-
ing it. Quantities of it are thrown up
on the seashore by every big storm.
In the Middle .Ages amber was more
highly valued than gold, and the one -
pronged forks used by princes and
church dignitaries were commonly of
this material. Rosaries were made of
it and many very beautiful works of
art. Indeed, it is largely utilized for
art purposes at the present time, es-
pecially the "fancy colored" amber,
light blue, transparent green, snow
white and cream color.
Insects preserved in amber are by
no means rarities. The science of
ancient Egypt in its highest develop-
ment did not discover a method of em-
balming so perfect. A bug alighted
on a drop of liquid gum, freshly ex-
uded from the tree; it stuck fast and,
the exudation continuing, it was soon
completely enveloped, the most min-
ute• retails of its structure being pre-
served.
For what we know of ancient in-
sects we are largely indebted to am-
ber. A small lizard was found in one
chunk of it, Leaves, suds and flowers
are similarly preserved, and in one
specimen dug out of the Palmnickeif
mine there was the catkin of an oak,
which, seen through the clear amber,
looked as fresh as when it hung on
the tree millions of years ago.

The Secret of Success.
The distinguishing trait of every
great soul is his ability to get on his
feet every time he falls, to stand erect
and face the foe under the fiercest
fire. Strong men who do big things
for civilization, who help the world go
forward, are always trampling upon
obstacles, accomplishing "impossibili-
ties"—doing things that everyone
said couldn't be done.
The , men who have blessed man-
kind by their great discoveries and in-
ventions have had to labor incessantly
against all sorts of obstacles; to begin
all over again and again after failure
in order to perfect their work. And
in the past their inventions had to
fight their way to recognition, often
against the opposition of the most pro-
gressive omen of their time.
Even in our own times, with the aid
of all modern facilities, not one has
yet discovered a royal road to success.
While the world is more hospitable to
new ideas than in the past, it is only
by continued effort, by refusing to
surrender to obstacles, by beginning
again and again after every defeat
and pressing on with renewed vigor
that we can hope to reach our goal.

Value of First Impressions.
A salesman calling to see a woman
regarding an important deal, kicked
a dog as it came up to him when he
approached the house. The salesman
could not account for the coldness
with which the woman received him
until it dawned on him that, possibly,
she might have seen him kick the dog;
so he tried to explain away the unfor-
tunate . affair by telling her that her
dog tried to bite hirer when he cane
in.
"Mr, Blank," she replied, "nay dog
never bites at anyone." Notwitle
standing that he tried all sorts of
arguments and inducements to close
the deal, the salesman was unsuccess-
ful. He lead made a baa first impres-
sion on the woman that he could not
overcome. To win people's favor we
must reach their hearts, and we can't
accomplish this by doing anything
which makes a bad impression on
them,
