One book sna.y for you or me decide everything for this world and the next. It wa.s a turning point with me when, in a bookstore in Syra- mese one day I picked. up a book called, "The Beauties of Ruskin," It was only a book of extracts, but it was cal pure homey, and. I was not satisfied until I paithaseci all hie works, at that time experusive beyona an easy capacity to own them, and. with what delight I went through reading his "Seven Lamps of Arcle tecturee and his "Stories of Venice,' it is impossible for me to describe except , by saying that it gave 'Me a rapture for good books and an everlasting disgust for decrepit or immoral books that will last me while my life lasts. All around the phurth earl the world. to -day there are busy hives of ineelligense occupied. by authors and authoresses from whose pens drip a. distillation which is the very „nectar of leaven, and. why will you thrust lour rod. of in,qaisitiv.eness into the deathf.ul saccharine of per- dition? • Stimulating liquids also came into the category a temptation delicious, but deatlaftte You say, "I cannot bear the testa of intoxicettiag, liquor, arid how runty man can like it is to true an amaze- ment." Well, then, it is no credit to You that you do not take it. Do not brag about your total, abstinence, be- came it is ace from. any principle that you reject alcoholism, but for the rea- son that you can reject certain styles of food. -you simply don't like the taste of them. • But multitudes of r.eople have a natural fondness .for all kinds of intoxicants. They like it so much -that. it makes them smack their lips to look at it. They are dyspeptic, and they- lilse to aid. digestion, or they are atimoyed by iiisomnie, and they take it to practise° sleep; or they are troubled, anct they take it to make them oblivi- ous; or they feel happy, and they 111118t celebrabe their hilarity. They begin with mint julep sucked through two straws on the Lung Branch piezza and end in the ditch, taking from a jug a liquid halekerosene and. hair whiskey. They not only like it, but itis an all consuming paseion of body, mind and and after awhile have it they will, though one wine -glass of it; should coet the tetaporal and. eternal dedruction, of themselves and all their families and t,hia whole human race.

To cure the habit before it comes' to its last sta;ges various plans were tried in, olden times. This plan was recommended in the hooks: When a man wanted. to reform, he put shot or bullets exto the cup or glass of strong drink -one additional sheet of ballet each day that displaced so emelt liquor.

You •who hese crowecj the ocean many testes have noticed that always one of the best rooms has, from morning un- til late at night, been given up to gambling pre:dices. I heard of men who went On board with enoggh for a European excursion who landed without money to get their beggage up to the hotel or railroad, To many there is a complete fa,scluetion iTi games of (hazard or the risking e of money on Ixusibiltties. It seems as natural for them to bet as to eat. In- deed the hunger for food is often ov- e.rpowered by thle hunger for Neogene. at is aboard for these of us who have never felt the fascination of the wag- er to speak slightingly of the tempta- tion. It has slain a multitude of in- tellectual and moral giants, men and women stronger than yeller I. Down under its power went georious Oliver -Goldsmith and Gibbon, the famous his- eorian, and Charles Fox, the renown- ed stateeman, and in olden times sen- ators of the United States, wheused to be as regularly at the gambling house all night as they were in the halls of legislation by day.

State legislatures have again and again sanotioned theniighty evil by passing laws in defense of race tracks, and many young men...have lest all their wages at such so-called "meet- ings." Every man who voted for sash infamous bills has on his hands and forehead the blood of these souls. ,But in this connectionsome young eenverts say to me: "Is it right to Play cards? Ls there any harin in a game -6e whist or euchre?" Well, I know goodm en who play whist ancleu- ehre and other styles of games without any wagers. I had a. friend who play- ed cards with his wife and children and then at the close said, "Oomenow let us have prayers." I will not judge o-ther men's consciences, but I tell you that cards are in my mind. so as- sopiated. with the temporal and spiri- tual ruin of splendid young men that I would as soon say to my family, "Come, let us have a game of cards," as I would go into a menagerie and say, "Colne, let us have it, game of rat- tlesnakes," or into a c,enietery and sit- ting down by amarble slab say to the grave -diggers, "Come, let us have a game at &kilns." Conaeientious young Ilsidies are silently saying, "Do youl think card playing will &tuts any harm?" Perhaps not, but hew will you feel ii in the great day of eternity, when we are asked to ,give an account ef cur influence, some man shouldsa,y: "I was introduced into games of chance in the year 1898 at your heuee, and went on from that sport to soinething sore exciting, and went on down un- til I lost my liminess, and lest my mor- als, and lost my soul, and these chains that you see on my wrists and feet are the chains of a gamester's doom, and I am on my way to a, ,garabler's hell."

The frienaly services of the bacteria outweigh the injuries they inflict up- on us. Certain food, such as Limburger • cheese, ie not relished until it is teem- ing with organisms. Plants make use of micro-organisms end vegetation is immensely assisted by nitrifying organisms. All cold meats contain numbers of organksms large enough to frighten( timid. persons. Potted meats are sim- ilarly infected. Sound food often contains large quantities of laacteria, so that we hab- itually consume numberless micro-or- ganisms.

Bathers, . . or else, Here are two passible results, depend- ing on diverse types of character. He will hate the eine, and love the other. The servant iz this ease is of intense nature, which every claim for service made by the master he dislikes em- bitter% while, every duty perform- ed for the ()nester he loves draws hira closer in loyelty. Such men rapidly pursue one process or the oth- er to the finish, a.nd with all •their hearts hate and with all their hearts Love. But the mental and .moral move- ments of the majority are slower and less decisive; there are meaty men who can hardly be charged with love or hatred. of -anything or anybody. Such are described in the next clause, He will hold to the one and, despise the other, For poliey's sake, or for een- timent's sake, or for the sake of some dear 'friend, or from listlessness or hala-heartedness, a man will continue through years, perhaps through it life time, avowedly to serve one moral tuaste,r while he loves another. Bat in so far as he "holds to the one" he despiseeothe other, even though he be not strongenough to shake off that otlser's . Some such weak and contradictory life Paul described when be said, "With the mind I myself serve the law of God, bue, with the flesh the law of sin." But such experiences are alevays steady "prooesses." Drifting, thaugh aimless, ma.y. be as steady, and sometimes as rapid, as steaming; and even the alavirest an& least decisive soul at length comes out on one side or the other. In the hearts of some woridlings a, distrust and disgust of the world have arisen,and these lead directly toward penitence and con- version. Some formal servants of Gosi who support his cause by their purses, their lips, ance by other activi- ties, in their hearts hate his holiness; such a process leads directly toward. a shipwreck of faith. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. " Mammon " is a Syric Word for riches, and ishere used as a personificatioa of money; but it really stands for anything a man confides in. The text wenla be as true if we read a,nibition or luxury in the place of mammon, But how can we help, in this -broad sense, serving mammon -We who live in mammon's stronghold? That question Paul asked, too, "0 wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?' And. we eatswer as did he, "1 thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord."

At every fashionable function this season, the Russian blouse in one or another form is in evidence. The blaz- er ansi the short jaeket are giving way before it. Where either the one or the ether is worn it is sure to be over a dairity unclerwaest made with a R.use- sten blouse front effect. At luncheon, breakfastand dinner it is seen, and even in full evening dress the blouse, effect asserts itself. But there issome- thing more to come, Is it the total abolition of the corset. Now, a well formed WOMDZI does not need a. long, stiff, boned corset, under this novel and pretty garment. Any moderately slender soman can wear it without a real corset:.

The ribbon corset, -Motel' is really only a bust supporter, is tbe only gar- ment -if it can be so called-tbat is iequired.
