Wear Your Troubles Inside.
alauy a nian gets iuto the habit of
carrying his troubles in his face. The
oyes tell it, the droop of the lip speaks
it, and bowed head reveals it, and the
footfall la full of it. He has run up the
flag at half-mast, and he carries it every-
where, so that his whole little world is
compelled to know his sorrow. Is this
natural? Possibly. Is it wise? Probe
-
lay not Is it fair? Surely not. Is it a
sign of weakness? Undoubtedly it is. Is
there a better way? Surely there is.
First, a man must make up his mind to
expect his sbare of trouble, and perhaps
a little more. Then he should make up
his mind to bear his trouble manfully,
L e., with patience, with courage, and
with hope. The world has enough trou-
ble of its own; let us not ada to its bur-
den! It sbould be the aim of every
Christian man and woman to become
strong, and wben strength is won to use
that strength in bearing the burdens of
others. Every sorrow mastered, every
burden borne inside instead of outside,
makes us stronger, and leaves the world
brighter. Learn to smile, get the habit
of it; learn to sing, make it also a
habit; and you will be surprised how
much brighter it makes the world, not
only to others, but to yourself! The
smile and the song lessen the burden and
light up the waya-Christian,Guardian.
The Paths of Death.
There are two folds upon the hill,
And one is lone and very still
Only the rustle of a leaf
Gives happy sound of life and stir,
And warbles bubbling bright and brief
Valero the bird skims with fearless whirr,
Or a bee rifling on his way
The honey from a wild -rose spray.
Sometimes a soft and summer shower
Drops gentle music hour by beer,
Or a long breath of wandering air
Makes melancholy murmur there,
Anil all is calm and full of peace
There where the dead have sweet. sur-
cease.
Within that other place of graves
The wild rains fall, the wild wind raves
In every dusky alley met
Sad ghosts, who beat an aching breast
With anguished longing and regret,
Remember that they once were bleat,
The heart gone out of them, the soul
Fled onward to some unkniwn goal.
For them no glad and further year,
Ashee the rose, and beauty sere,
Without a wish except to fill
Their eyes with dust -the dead who still
With ruined hope and joyless mirth
Go to and fro upon the earth!
-Harriet Prescott Spofford, in Scrib-
ner's.
The Omnipresence of God.
It has been well said that there is no
part of the .Bible in which the greet at-
tributes of God -His oniniseience, His
omnipresence and His omnipotence -are
stated with stunk impressive Aplenclor as
in Peal m137. It is the utterance of a de -
yea and reverent and noble soul, awed
and humbled by the thought of One
wbose knowledge embraces the whole de-
tails, and before whose all seeing eye the
secret things of life are naked and open.
His mind is overwhelmed at the thought
of the divine omnipresence, so that His
presence and power are felt in the ut-
termost reaches of infinite space as well
as near at hand. It is no local or tribal
deity that rises before the mind of the
Psalmist, but One who is all knowing,
everywhere present, and tell powerful, the
great First Cause, the energizing and
controlling force at the heart of the uni-
verse.
And it is no Pantheistic conception of
God that we find in this psalm. God is
imminent in the universe, but He also
transcends it. The personality clt God
as distinct from all created. things and
as distinct from all human personalities
is clearly stated.
To us children of an hour, living our
little round and with our narrowed range
of vision, this conception of the divine
omnipresence is one at once to awe and
inspire. The thought that God le every-
where, and that nothing min separate
us from It% love and protecting care is
a precious thought to the one who has
learned to know Him in Jesus Christ as
the Father of infinite and unchanging
love. ty sea or by land, in sunshine or
in storm, amid all the varied experiences
of life, we know that He is near, and
our hearts Are made glad and brave and
strong. Distance from home and friends
cannot separate us, and no dark cloud
of trouble can hide us from the sunshine
of His presence. The divine omnipresence
is more than a metaphysleal conception:
It is a blessed practical reality, full of
eomfort and cheer to thoce wbo have
learned that at the heart of all tillage,
controlling and energizing; all thing, and
pre.eent in every part, there is one to
who mwo ean look up with loving trust
and cell our Fatber.
But there is another side of the shield.
The truth that is full of eomfort to the
one who is seeking to bring his will in-
to harmony with the divine will, is full
of terror to the one whose life is in an-
ta.gonieni to the great law of righteous.
nese, and in waose dcepeat heart there
le the sense of guilt and unforgiven sin.
It is a eonunonplace and yet an impor-
tent thought that a man, go where he
will. eart never get away from himself
or from God. The malty man flare from
„the preeence of his fellows and Reeks
to Intry himself out a the sight of lalf
veto know bim, but many a. man has realized in Me own bitter experience the
truth of the PentIrnietei words: "ff 1 say.
surely the darkinas hnh1 'oier me; even
the night Abell be light about me. Yen,
the darkneee hideth not from Thee: but
the night sbinetli es the day: the dark -
hese mid the tight are both alike to
Thee." --111. afeGregor.
The Power Of Chrfet,
There is an invisible emcee of Merge
of which everyone may avail himself;
but thie energy is aveitable only for
good, never for evil It is more than
a match for 9,11 the evil forces which
combine to turn us away from the right
Way. It is abundantly sufficient to Pup -
port Ile in all the acivereities of tine
world. It is fully :adequate to any bur*
dens of duty witich may be laid Upon :us.
Paul was greatly afflictea. Ito eelle
his affliction a thOrn in the flesh. What
that was we lehOW 110t, except that it
was 80111e exceedingly sharp lean. Ile
prayed three times for ite removaa, and
Ode is the answer ha received, "My
grace is sufficient for thee." The grace
of Christ ia an aWard energy which
Ile bestows on all those who follow Him
and trust in flim Paul felt himself
stronger with his affliction then without
it, beence of the support of this grace.
Therefore he says, "I will glory in my
infirmity." Ile beel other things in
which he might glory. He hita a Won-
derful vision. He was caught up into
the third heaven, where lie SW and
hard things which it Was UOt lawful
to tell. But he would. not glory in this
vielon. He rather glories in his afflic-
tion, because Ole furnishes a splendid
opportunity for the grace of Goa to
manifest itself through him. No matter
what comes eo It be a channel for, the
mice of God to flow into the soul: "I
e
will glory in my infirmity that the
power of Christ may rest upon me," ,
Let no one flee from his affliction.
Let him, not fear tribulation. Terrible
as it may seem, grace is more than a
nintch for it. The power of Christ le the
chief thing. We may -be weak and help-
less in ourselves, but nothing is too
hard for us if the power of Christ shall
rest upon us.
Prayer.
Our pod and Father, we come to Thee
as thole whom sin has smitten and who
have been made eick and blind by its
deadly stroke. Unless Thou shalt heal
and save us, 0 God, we must die. We
thank Thee that Thou hest provided a
remedy. We bless Thee for Jesus Christ
Thy Son, whose suffering brings us
health, and by wliose death we live. Help
us to lift our eyes to Him, exalted once
upon the cross and now upon the throne,
but evermore a Prime and. Saviour, who
gives repentance to His people and the
remiesion of their sins. Believing in
Him, may we find forgiveness and deliv-
erance. May our lives be made pure and
strong and fit for the service of our
Heavenly King. May there begin within
us, even now, that life eternal which
springs from the knowledge and love of
God. Amen.
The Gospel of the Out -of -Doors.
God's great, bright, free, living, out-of-
-doors was meant for man, and man was
meant for it, and he cannot be separated
from it without suffering loss. The truth
of this the wearied nerves, the weakened
muscles, the lowered vitality of the city
dwellers abundantly attest. It is hard
to live the artificial life without paying
the penalty of it. It seems natural for
a healthy man to love the out-of-doors.
The mountains excite him, the lake en-
chnuts him, the forest seems like a long.
forgottea friend, the freedom of the
unpoisoned air gives strange ze.st to life.
The quiet sunset hour is full of a never-
to-be.forgotten glory and a atrange yet
welcome peace. To the wearied son of
Adam comes the thought that Jacob
voiced so long ago, "Lot God is here."
Here is health, vigor, freedom, and he
must be of peculiar temperament who
docs not feel the gladness of this gospel
of tho out-of-doors. It is sane and re-
freshing; it is wise and true; it is pure
and strong; it is freedom incarnate,
Thank God for the sunny welcome
wearied workers find in this great out-
door world.
A Tornado of Stars.
Scattered. throughout the unfathom-
able realms of infinite space, some trav-
elling in a defined orbit round the .sun,
some apparently mimicss wanderers of
the aether, some weighing many tons,
some not more than an ounce or two,
are countless myriads of bodies, mostly
metallic, ever careering through the
void at a velocity computed at u bout
twenty to thirty miles every 100 aidof
time, (the speed of the swiftest projec-
tile fired from a modern ca.nuon is con-
siderably less than three housand feet -
about half a mile -in a second). Aed
ever onwards and onwardthrough the
wilderness of the illimitable these errant
wanderers pursue their lightning career;
until, coming within the attractive
power of some sun or planet, they
plunge headlong into its midst; in the
former case hi a moment transmuted
into incandescent gas and adding to its
fuel: in the latter,if snaall, burnt up by
friction with the atmosphere and chang-
ed into meteoric dust; if large, probably
exploding by the sudden and intense
heat caused by that friction, or with a
roar as of thunder -hence the name
thunaerbolt-burying itself deep in the
ground.
In November, 180, our earth passed
through a vast aggregation of these met-
eoric stones, the result being a r Igeant
of weird and unsurpassed splendor and
sublimity. As night approached, from
time to time a faintly apparent, curved
streak of light, almost as bright as the
gradually appearing eters, coursed acmes
the skies; soon, as the daylight waned
Tore and more, increasing both in bril-
liancy and in number; until, twilight
haiving disappeared, the heavens were on
pre, the constellations ablaze, and myr-
iads of fiery stars, no longer placidly
scintillating in the midnight sky, but
wildly hurtling downwardtoward the
earth, leaving in their train a long trail
of throbbing light, as though the tocsin
of the day of doom had been struck and
soine mighty force were overwhelming
the universe itself in ruin and aisruption
And so it continued, hour after hour
ever more and more awe-inspiring, ever
more and more startling and bewildering,
a very tornado, hurricane of fiery stars.
And then towards morning the torrent
ceased, and the scintillant constellations
once more glittered placidly in the ekke,
But a day will come wben, in the met-
aphorical language of Scripture, the
tars shall fall from heaven and the pow-
ers of the heavens shall be shaken. And
then shall those who have served and
ebeyed their God be filled with exquisite
joy, For He, by whose stripes they were
healed, will then appear in his glory,
and will accord to them His loving wel.

Bradstreet's Trade Review,
Montreal: The eituation in the money
market here has shown but little change
during the past week. There is still a
pretty general feeling that the situation
will show gradual improvement. General
wholesale and retail trade holds steady.
Dry goods lines are moving briskly. De-
liveries of ready-to-wear goods are more
prompt and in better volume than last
year. The call for sweaters and for all
winter goods is brisk. Values hold firm
Hardware lines are moving freely and
the businces in pig iron is quite brisk.
The metal markets generally how it
slightly easier tone. A good trade is
moving in groceries, All canned goods
hold very high. Prices on new tomatoes
and peaches will be late owing to the
backwardness of the crop.
Tornoto: The movement of wholesale
and retail trade here continues excellent.
One of the features is the movement in
fall linens; which continues heavy. The
October price list shows an advance of
about po per cent. in the last fourteen
months. A big trade is doing in ulster-
inge and meltoits. The outside demand
for all lines of hardware is brisk and
there is a fairly gootl loeal trade, The
falling off in the volume of building be-
ing done here will have some effect upon
this branch of trade. 'Values are gen-
erally steady. The grocery trade is ac-
tive, with large shipments going to all
parts of the country. The movement in
e.ountry trade is fair amd collections con.
time to show slight improvement. Wool
is very quiet, and unchanged.
Winnipeg: In most lines of trade there
has been an excellent business moving
during the paet week. It is evident
that damage to the efops by frost has
in some localities been quite serious.
Lack of money has quietened the activ-
ity in building, and this has affected the
trade. Collections are about as reported
last week. .

tinues exceedingly aetive. The labor

A HUNDRED DEAD.
LOST THEIR LIVES IN GREAT FIRE
AT W'TICHOU.
Damage Will Be Quarter of a Million -
Large Number of Houses, Boats and
Pontoons Destroyed -City Being
Looted, But Foreigners Safe.
Deng Kong, Sept, 30.-A hundred
lives or more were lost in a great fire
which broke out to -day at Wuchow, en
the Seakiang River, about 180 miles from
Canton. Hundreds of houses and large.
numbers of boats and pontoons on the
river were destroyed, the total damage
being at least a quarter of a million dol-
lars. They were finally extinguished,
but not until the explosion of the kero-
sene depot had added considerably to
their fury. Looting is going on in Wu -
chow, but all the foreigners there roe
safe.
The conflagration is saki to have been
due to incendiarism incited. by the re-
cent establishment of a new interior cus-
toms station at 1Vuehow, the inlmoitents
of the city being bitterly opposed to the
extrs taxation which the new station
ent neled.
Rev. Robert Jaffrey, son of Senator
Jeffrey, Toronto, is a missionary at
Wuchow. Recent advices from him.lead
his friends to suppose that the trouble
in South China is really dynastic and a
part of the movement to overthrow
Manchu rule.

HEIRS MUST HAVE HEIRS,
Or They Lose Their Claim to Large
Estate.
New York, Sept. 30. -The Herald has
received the following despatch from
Pittsburg: The will of Paul H. Ihiche,
a wealthy art connoisseur, wbo died
several weeks ago, was filed to -day for
probate. After having lived his entire
life a bachelor, Mr. Hacke offers as an
inducement to his two male relatives
his entire fortune of more than $1,-
000,000 provided they have children. -
When Heeke died the name ceased to
exist, except for a maiden sister, Miss
Sarah Haeke, with whom he lived. This
sister receives an annuity of $3,000. To
his cousin, Mrs. Joseph George, ord
her two sons, Paul and William, he
gives an annuity of $1,000 a year each.
It is to Paul and William George that
Backe looked to perpetuate the fam-
ily. To their children the entire reg.
due of the estate is to be equally di-
vided, share for there. Paul George
is now twenty-one years of age, while
Itis brother is eighteen. In case they
fail to have heirs the entire estate is
to be divided equally betNeeen the West-
moreland Hospital of Greensburg, St.
Paul's Orphan Asylum of Butler, and
the Grace Reformed Church of this
city.
OLD AGE PENSIONS.
Result of the Commission's Inquiries in
Nova Scotia.
Ititlifax, Sept. 30. -The commission
appointed by the local Legislature te
inquire into and report upon the possi-
bility of adopting a. system. providing
old -age pensions for workmen in the
mines of Nova Scotia concluded its pre-
sent session in this vicinity to -day with
a short meeting held in Sydney Mines.
So far, generally speaking, the evidence
addnced has gone to show that while
there as general satisfaction expressed at
the present system of relief in case of
accident or sickness, there is room for
bnprovement.
Anything, however, that would tend
to merge into eonimon control the ex-
isting miners' relief with the proposed
Old -age pensions would, it is thought,
meet with strong opposition. The cam.
mission adjoarned this afternoon, to
meet here again itt about three weeks'
time, after visiting Springhill, Inverness
and Stellarton.

eadmitted he was a picket

and that he followed Guthrie, but ar-
gued that as a picket lie had that right.
Counsel for the defence maintained to
the jury that his client had it legal
right to net as a picket, and endeavor
to pereitade non-union machinists to
join the union men on strike.
"Ifas he got the right to steed in
front of the man's place?" asked it
juror.
Ad from e judgment of Justice
Leo inaintaieed that he had,. and
Itt
Meredith on the point.
eln this country every inan has it
right to follow his work without in-
terference on the part of anybody,"
said Judge Winchester in charging the
jury. "Unions are good things in them-
selves and very necessary in this age.
Strikes are useful or not. Sometimes
they do good and other times they
don't, but we home not that to cousiaer
in this case. The question is whether
Medcalf did persistently follow Guth-
rie. If he did so he was wrong. No
man has the right to follow another
from place to place for the purpose of
getting that man to abstain from work.
11 this thing were allowed you can't
understand how serious it would result.
The opprobrious niune of scab is 80/110 -
thing disgraceful to apply to any hon.
est workman. These things, if you be-
lieve they were done, show it motive.
One of the jurors very properly asked
if the picket had a right to wateh the
Pairbanks-Morse factory. They have
no right to beset or watch any place,
but they have the right to ask infor-
mation of people going in and coming
out and to attempt to persuade them
to helpan the strike.'
The juey were out 15 minutes.
FAMOUS POISONER.
CHRISTIANA EDMUNDS DEAD IN
BROADMOOR ASYLUM.
Distributed Chocolates Doctored With
Strychnine to Children About Brigh-
ton Thirty-five Years Ago -Con-
victed of Murder, But Had Sentence
Commuted.
London, Sept. 20. -By the death of
a woman from senile decay in the Broad-
moor Lunatic Asylum this week ono of
the most extraordinary alines. in judi-
cial annals was recalled.
Christiana Edmunds, a, well-educated
woman in easy circumstances, lived with
her mother at Brighton. She formed
the acquaintance'as a patient, of a local
Inc:Henn man and bis wife.
.After a period, during which the Ed-
munds woman's friendship for the doc-
tor developed into it passion, the doe-
tores wife died under circumstances sug-
gesting that she had been poisoned by
eating sweetmeats. About a month
passed, during which suspicion grew
that Miss Edmunds had poisoned the
woman out of jealousy.
Thereupon, with systematic' cunning,
she entered upon it schenie of distil-
butiug poisoned chocolates to divert sus-
picion from herself. She sent a boy
she met in the street to buy chocolate
creams at certain confectioners'. These
she doctored with strychnine and then
returned them to the shop to be ex-
changed for another kind.
The unsuspecting confectioner made
the change and resold the poisoned
chocolates to another customer named
Barker, one of whose children died with-
in it few home after eating them.
At the inquest Christina. 'Edmunds
told an artful story of having been 111
herself as the result of eating sweets
bought at the shop referred to.
The verdict of the Coroner's jury
was "accidental death," exonerating the
confectioner, who was a man of the
highest probity.
For- nearly a year afterward Miss
Edmunds distributed little bags of poi-
soned chocolates, giving them to children
in the streets. Six or seven ehildren
were made daugerously ill, but turvived.
The woinan was finally convicted of the
molder of the Barker boy and condemn-
ed to death. Her sentence, however,
was conumited and she was seet to
Broadmoor Asylum thirty-five years ago.

enlarged should choose a certain munber
of represerttatives to alt in the liouce

The Peerage would thus become as a
whole a body of herditary electors and of
hereditary eligibles. He believes they
would choose the most tompeteut mem-
bers and if the principle of representa-
tion of ininorities were adopted, ar in
this case would be essential, no able Peer
of either party would fail to be chosen.
The black sheep of the Peerage would
thus be automatically excluded, to-

The Mauretania Will Be Queen of the
8
New York, Sept.249a.8.
--- The Sun has the
following cable from London: The
Luella:tura is already outclassed. Every
effort is being made by the Cunard Line
to postpone publicity, but it is complete-
ly established that her younger sister,
the Mauretania, is nearly two knots
fester than the Lusitania,
The liew ship will not have formal
trials until mid-October, but the corre-
spondent of the Sun learns from an of-
ficial who was present during the pre-
liminary runs that she easily made a
shade under twenty-eight knots on it
ineiveured mile,
This means that ebe will do much bet-
ter next month. Her bottom is cov-
ered with barnacles, for she has been ly-
ing for nearly a year on the Tyne,
which le one of the dirtiest estuaries on
the English coast. Her builders expect
that after she has been docked and
cleaned her speed will be increased fully
another knot, which is much better than
the Lusitania has been able to show.
Moreover, ner macliinery has worked
much smoother. She is much steadier
than the Lusitemia and shows less vibra-
tion than did the early tests of the older
boat.
CANADA WANTS MONEY.
Views of Mr. Bogart ,of the Dominion
Bank,
Winnipeg, Sept. 80. -"Don't leek for any
easy money until avert summer, at least,"
said. Mr. C. A. Bogart, General Manager of
the Dominion Bank.
"What do you think Is the rause of the
money stringency 2" Mr. Bogart woe
"k'edv'
'Over-prosperlty. There is not enough
money in Canada. We have it wonderful
country here, and we want aesv money to
develop it... I think the Canadian banks are
adopting a very wise policy in endeavoring
to restrict speculation of every description
and looking atter the legitimate warts of the
legitimate borrowers. Just now they are and
have been making every effort to get the crop
moved quickly, or get it out of the coun-
try, and get the money back in. It's raoney
that vre want; and no doubt the peoPla out
here can do it great deal to assist the banks
in getting the, crops out. This last year
it good many things kept us baek. The sea-
son opened late and the ntrike of the 'long-
shoremen in Montreal delayed a good deal,"
Mr. Bogart also said that European capi-
tal was turning gradually more and more to
Canadian investments. "I was in Europe
early in the year, and everywhere you hoar
of Canada and its prospects. All we have
to do is tit be patient for a. little whlle and
everything is going to come all right."

SURE TUBERCULOSIS TEST.
Baron Pirquet's New Method of Ming
Koch' s Tuberculin.
Vienna, Sept. 29. - Baron Pirquet,
head of the :Vienna Children's Hopsital
here, whose report on his important
discovery in regard to the diagnosis of
tuberculosis attnicted considerable at-
tention at the Medical Congress here,
has explained- that his method is not
meant to furnish it cure or a pre-
ventive, but to provide a diagnosis in the
very earliest stages of the disease, espe-
cially in the ease of children.
"Hitherto," he says, "Koeh's tuber-
culin bus been injected, and the usual
effect upon a patient suffering from ad-
vanced tuberculosis bas been a danger-
ously high temperature.
"My method of using Koch's tuber
culin is not by injection, but by vac
cination. I allow some drops of it to
fall on a patient's skin, and a small
portion to penetrate through a tiny
scratch. When an individual is free
from tuberculosis, there is no reaction;
but if be is not free a tiny inflamma-
tion is set up at the vaccinated spot,
by mane of which the presence of tu-
berculosis is absolutely established. Any
danger of infection through vaccination
is excluded, as the tuberculin contains no
living bacilli.

Novelty in the Way of Publications
Heralded in London.
London, Sept. 20.-A magazine novel-

children's stories are famous in England
and America, is managing the publica-

PARASOLS WITH TONGUES.
The Newest Pad in Paris' Fashionable
World.
Paris, Sept. 20. -The newesb fad in
the Parish fashionable world is to have
umbrellas and sunshades with sculptured
heride of all sorts of animals for a han-

piece of mechanism these Animals can
be made to put out their tongues. Have
you a rabbit's head or the head •of a
Monkey or a swan foe a handle? While
talking to a friend you press it careless-
ly and the animal pokes out a little red
tongue, to the great astonishment of the
friend, who is not used to such tricks
from umbrella handles.

TINTED MONEY.
Proposal to Print Bills in Different
Colors to Show Denominations.
Atlantic City, Sept. 29 -"Ribbon counter
finance" is the term spited facetiously to
ono of tbe most novel banking suggestionsh
ever made le the United States Government.
It originated with the American Bankers'
Association, 15 1,11 t or , and contem-
plates the printing of all bills hereafter with
it diffeessat color for each denomination.
The idea is that a bank teller's desk can
then he more readily bandied by reason of
the aise with which bills can be piled up az-
cording in +lel- teler, insleal of by the slow
task of having to look for the domination
of each bill. • s
A resolution whitek demands that a re-
CnieSt for this style or currency be made up-
on the Secretary of the Treasury, was re-
tered to the new Executive Council of tho
Association, wad it is believed that the re- L
quest will he made and granted.
The colors decided,on for the different'
denominations, which will enable a teller
to knew the value of it bill at many yards
away, aro: Slate, $1; brown, 32; green, 15;
blue. 110; yellove, $20; pink, $50; white, 3100
