Words to the Girls,
Qrirls, would you be beautifulP Of
course you would. Then cultivate .n
your hearts cheerfulness, content-
ment, and kindness. They are the
greatest of beautiffers. No paints or
powders can give the winsome, beau-
tiful glow to the cheek, the sparkling
challming glint to tile eye, or the lithe
and. graceful carriage to ,the body
which these impart; but dcta't flirt;
don't be vain; don't be obtrfisive.
Modesty gives special charm to
beauty, and usefulness conceals many
defects of form. 'An ancient English
poet set forth "A Fair Lady's Wish"
in the following sensible lines:
"If it 'be true, celestial powers
That you have formed me fai�l
And that in all my vainest hours
My mind has been my care;
Thoi, in return, I beg this grace,
As you are ever kind,
What envious time takes from my fa:)p
. Bestow upon my mind."
Busy at What?
It is a great mistake to be so busy
that we have not time to do the things
make this wrong choice, yet many a
one does go. "The King's Bliswiess"
is meant to be every one's chief busi-
ness, and may be; "seek ye first the
Kingdom of God" was not an impos-
sible command. But how many of
us crowd life so full of the things
that die the day they are done that
there is no thhe or strength left for
the things that live and that bring
life to the doer� We may have to
g � ivo tbe gfeater number of hours in
the day to what we call our secular
duties. But there never was a day in
the life of any child of God in which
God's Kingdom could,not have been
consciously sought as the chief inter.
est in that day. and thereby -some
moments found for the advancing of
that, Kitagdom. When our da-ys arc
busiest with fhe pressurd 'of this
world's cares, we most need to remain-
ber the Kingdom that has first claim
on our life. -Sunday School Times.

The Heavenly Places, .
He who hath found tile secret place of
the Almighty is at One With heaven.
Qualified, actuated, influenced, A man
is -where his heart is, in temper, spirit
and bre4ithing. A woman said in her last
illness: "My head is there, illy heart is
there, an(I I shall soon be thore altoge-
ther." Where dwelleth thou? If thou
art achild of God, thou art in the heav-
enly places, lifted by a mighty ]land,
lifted to stay, seated, in permanence.
What elvation, repose, outfoo1c. on the
very verge of time, we east our ahadows

The very shadows ot our spirits are
charged with. prophecy and ,perpetuity,
our shadows are not fleeting, they abide.
Our bodies are matter, tiley die; our
shadows live and live for ever. Shadows
of the mighty past are with us,; we
have. Abraham to our faIdler; these, sha-
dows speed over the valleys of time.
Tlrcy join us oil the mountain side. We
sit and sing and extend our survey, We
look out, we look down, we do no look.
Up, we are up; we have. enough, we are
filled; long distance telophones tinglo in
our cars, we look at each from heaven.
The low, sad music of humanity reaches
our opened car. T1 ere is pity in Our
11
Prayer, ingenuity in Our Ileads., it burn-
ing fire in our hearts, a fire that does
not burn out or come to a, ,

how flimsy was the veil tliltt blinded us.
We look down Nvith humiliation Ill the

when strength, and lyeaeo, and victory'
wore go avaihtble.
These mountain breezes, how they blow
awAy our care; how large the place of
out, content, when oompared with the
cramped, cell in, which we were voluntary
oulprits. What is our 6xistorce but a

The late November ,weather was cold
and crisp, and a light dry snow thalt cov-
ered the ground for about three Inches
promised to mako tracking and going
easy.
Our costumes were regulated by,the
advice of Uncle Nod. '
We wore thin underclothing of pure
wool, thick woollen gray shirts, nocker-
chiefs, stout knickers with long stock -
Ings, and canvas leggings over a pair of
ankle larrigams, which wore made to fit
closely by wearing an extra pair of
socks. We also wore our canvas shoot-
ing coats, which, thoVugh noisy, We soon
found were excellent f or smashing
through the killing Nova Scotia thicket,
and there is no reason for especial quiet
when after Wild cats, with a hound.
Hardly had we landed when the hound
began to whine and howl and sitiff the
air en--orly, Uncle Ned nearly lost him
by an unexpectedly hard and sudden tug
on the chain, but recovered and lot the
dog drag him ton yards up the carry,
where, sure enough, a fresh Wildcat
track led directly across the path. Uncle
Ned hung on to, Range only long onough
to make sure of the freshness of the
track, and the next moment the merry
music was echoing through the frosty
air; "Owl Owl 0 -0 -0 -0 -Owl Owl"
Jack and I started to dash Into the
thicket after the hound, but'Uncle, Ned
restrained us.
"Hold on, boysi no rush," he said.
11TAtlo see where he's going. May come
right around across the trail again, you
know.
"We'll. just sneak along tho'carry for
it while and listen. if ,he gets too far
away we'll. follow and keep - him Within
earshot. 11
,,XO - use tramping through these
swarepa more'n necessary. We're likely
to got enough of it before nightanyway,
foT I guess the 'best dog in Digby Coun-
ty, is a good one, all right-"
The CAM,onition was well tinted, -for
though the trail did, not actually rocros6
the carry, It would certainly have n,Bce6-
' g1tatted a forced march of solue 111110i
Without result had we followed . the

The demeazor of old Range siter the
quarry wan dead was amusing Mi its
staid dignity. Re sat down gravely and
I
watched proceedings with an Or of only
halt interest, as if to say, "My part of
the work is done, I'd like to make a
meal of that cat, but it's not allowed,
so why excite myself Ill
His apathetic manner continued as he
trotted along In frout of Uncle Ned, the
chain being hardly li�ocessary to koo him
in step. Suddenly his mane bristleg ,ad
a howling whine came from him as he
snuffed the air suspiciously.
I'Aha I" exclaimed Uncle Ned under his
breath. "See his back go up. That's no
cat, Whoa, boy, not so wildl Go on
now, but don't get too skittishl"
And he lot the dog pull him along in-
to the swamp at right angles to the
course we were taking, Range getting
more and more excited wlth-over� stop.
Suddenly he burst out In a prolonged
howling bay, a, sure sign of a fresh track
of'some kind.
"A bear, I bet youl" said Uncle Ned,
footprints of old Bruin appeared in the
ilghf snow. '�Shol I thought they'd 11
denned in b7 this time, Mid fall, thougIT;
likely they're late this year." .
As he spoke he released the hound,
Who sprang up a slight rise Crowned by
dwarf spruce, on the top of Which ap-
peared an enormous boulder cleft in
twain by some playful freak of prehis-'
torte nature.
"Great Scottl" exclaimed the oldman,
,cDon,t mean to tell me thaVe .% don?
rvo looked that pile over fifty times."
But a don it was nevertheless, a fact
at once proved by the actions Of Old
Range, who stood at the mouth of the
gaping hole in the rock and barked furi-
ou�ly. it wasn't five minutes before we

Propitlati . nZ a Chinese God,'
At Wang Kong village, in the San Wuf
district, there was a certain god in the
Tin Hill Temple, over which there was
a hole in the roof, exactly above the
head of this god. One of the worship-
pers noticed this and said to the other
villagers that he had had a dream that,
as the god's head was suffering by the
leaking of the water from the roof, to
any man who subscribed money to have
the temple thoroughly repaired the god
would promise, prosperity and a good
harvest. A big sum of money was there-
for* subscribed within a few days, and
a hu�o 111lumination, accompanied by a
th'atl I" performance; will take place
In a few days to propitiate this god. -
