the Peente new living, those whose longs

And, mark you, it is not a snout proces-
sion, but lnoving. It is a "forced marOh"
ati•.:4 miles a day, emit hour 'being a
mile. Going with that celerity, it has got
to be a quite: sorely') ou our part, or no
service at all. We not only cannot tetioh
tbo 180 generations past and will not see
tbe 1e0 generations to come, but this
generation DOW on tho stage will soon be
off, and we ourselves will be all with
them. The fact is that you and I will
have to etart eel": Mon for our work, or
it will be ironical and se/nestle for any
one after our exit to say of us, as it was
said of Daviel, "Atter be had served his
own generation by the will of God be tell
on sleep."
Well. now let us look atouiadearzamtly,
prayerfully, in a common sense way and
see what we can do for our own genera-
tion. First of all, let us see to it that, as
far as we ean, they have •enough to eat.
The bunaan body is so constituted that
three tines a (lay the body needs food as
ranch as a lamp needs oil, as lnuon as a
locomotive needs fuel. To meet this want
God bas girdled the earth with apple
orchards, orange groves, wheatfields and
oceans full of fish, and prairies full of
cattle. And notwithstanding this, I will
undertake to say that the vast majority
of the human family are now suffering
either for lack of food or the right kind
of food. Our civilization is all askew, and
God only can set it right. Many of the
greatest estates of to -day bave been built
out of the blood and bones of unrequited
toil. In olden times for the building of
forts and towers the inhabitants of Ispa-
han had to contribute 70,000 skulls, and
Bagdad 90,000 human skulls, and tbat
number of people ware compelled to furn-
ish the skulls, But these two contribu-
tions adeed together made only 160,000
skulls, while into the tower of the world's
-wealth end pomp leave been wrought the
skeletons of uncounted numbers of the
Lalefed populations of the earth—millions
of skulls.
Don't sit down at your table with five
or six courses of abundant supply and
think nothing of that family in the next
"street who would take any one of those
five courses between soup and almond
ants and feel they were in heaven. The
lack of the right kind of food is the cause
• of much of the drunkenness. After drink-
ing what many of our grocers call coffee,
sweetened with what many call sugar
and eating what mazy of our butchers
call meat, and chewing what many of
our bracers call bread, many of the labor-
ing class feel so miserable they are tempt-
ed to put into their nasty pipes what the
tobacconist calls tobacco or go into the
drinking saloons for what the rumsellers
call beer. Good coffee would do Emelt in
driving out bad rum.

that the phraeo "wearing the mantle of

worn by another has absorbed a certain
part of that person's thought or self, and
such thought can be reabsorbed by the
person to whom it Is given. Our clothes

Farmers Can Make Good Itoads.
John Gilmer Speed, writing on "How
to Have Good Country Roads," in the
Ladies' Home journal, proposes "that in
each county there be founded a Road
Improvement Association, which shall
have a one or two days' meeting in the
autumn of each year. 'To the membership
and to the meetings all the farmers
should be invited, while all those in the
county acting as road overseers, or road
supervisors, should be 'urged especially to
attend. At these meetings special, defin-
ite, practical instruction should be given
In maintaining and repairing dirt roads.
Competent men to give such instruction
can be seoured without cost to such soda
-
time for the United States Department of
Agriculture has a Road Bureau, and this
bureau will always supply a competent
instructor to tell the people just exactly
what they need, and how to do the work
as it should be done." Mr. Speed also
urges that school children be interested
In the work and tauglit the rudiments of
road -building and road -keeping."
A Short Sermon.
Tlae shortest sermon ever preached was
perhaps the sermon whith Dr. Whewell
was fond of repeating from the text,
"elan is born into trouble as the sparks
fly upwards."
The sermon occupied barely a minute
in delivery, the following being a verba-
tim report:
"I shall divide this discourse into three
heads: 1, man's ingress into the world;
9, his progress through the world; 3, his
egress out of the world.
"Firstly his ingress into the world is
nakea and bare, Secondly, his progress
through the world is trouble and care.
Thirdly, his egress out of the world is no-
body knows where. To conclude—If we
live well here' we shall live well there,
and I can tellyou no more if I prea„h a
whole year."

Dorothy's dog Jack had a friend of his
In the garden for a romp the other day,
a lively little fax terrier named Tipple.
Jack and Tipple were rolling on the
grass, barking lustily at each other.
They finally became so engrossed in
their play that they did not notice just
where they were rolling to until suddenle,
with an awful howl, Tipple fall 040WD an
open sellar window. This greatly surd
prised Jack, and be stood at the open'
window peering down into the collar
with a very puzzled expression on his
face.
It so happened tbat be saw a very
funny sight below, for right under the
window were the stationary washtubs.
and in one of them the girl bad been hitt-
ing the clothes. Into this poor Tipple had
tumbled, and instantly his nice white
coat was °hanged to a vvishy weshy blue,
The girl had to go down, fish hini out
and give him u good wash, Jack and
Tipple were soon romping ttWay on the
grass e,gain, but they were careful not to
get too near the cellar window.

Chief Baron O'Grady evas once , tryine
a ease in an assize town where the cour't
house abutted on the green. A fair was
in progress, and just outside the court a
number of asses were tethered. As conn •
sol was addressing the court one of tbese
began to bray.
Instantly the chief baron stopped the
speaker. "Wait a eminent, Mr. Bushe,"
he said, "I can't hear two at once."
The court roared, and the advocate
grew red. But presently, when it came to
summing up, tbe judge was in full
swing when anoteer ass struck in,
whether by the counsel's contrivance or
not, who shall say? Anyhow up jumped
Mr. Bushe, with his hand to his ear, and
said:
"Would your lordship speak a little
louder'? There's such an echo in the
court."

Balancing Accounts.
A thiek-set, ugly looking fello'w was
seated on a bench in the public park, and
seemed to be reading scene writing on a
sheet of paper which be held in bis band.
"You seem to be much interested ia
your writing," I said.
"Yes; I've been iiguring my account
with Old Alcohol to see how we stand."
"And he comes out ahead, I suppose?"
"Every time; and he has lied like
sixty."
"How did you come to have dealings
with him in the first place?"
"Tbat's what I've been writing. You
gee, he promised to make a man of me,
but he made me a beast. Then he said be
would brace me up, but he has made me
go staggering round and then throw me
Into a ditch. He sale I must drink to be
social; than he made me quarrel with my
best ftiends, and to be the laughing -stook
of my enemies. He gave me a black eye
and a broken nose; then I drank for the
good of my health. He ruined the little
I had, and left me 'sick as a dog."'
"Of course."
"He said he would warm me up; and
I 'was soon nearly frozen to death. He
said he would steady my nerves; but in.
stead he gave me delirium tremens. Ile
said he would give me great strength;
and he made me helpless."
"To be sure."
"He promised me courage."
"Then what followed?"
"Then he made me a coward, for I
beat my sick wife and kicked my little
child. He said he would brighten my
wits, but instead he made me act like a
fool and talk like an idiot. He promised
to make a gentleman of MO, but he ham
made me a tramp."
Interesting Antiquarian Discovery.
An interesting antiquariao discovery
has been made in the small church of
Radanita, in the BUcovine. It consists of
a rich tapestry, embroidered in gold, re-
presenting the death of Christ. It is in
an exoelleut state of preservation, and the
inscription is perfectly legible, and states
"that this tapestry was the gift of Alex-
ander the Good, Prince of Moldavia, who,
In 1108. built this church at his own ex-
pense.",
