er and harder, until his throat grew
weak and his brain tired. And still he
did no trade. Someone said to hire:
"Try carrying the goods you want to
sell with you, and let them do the
talking." Jones carried the goods, and
there came inquiries and orders and
much demand.
The parable carries an eternal teach-
ing. People think far more of what
we do than of what we say. A critic
says: "What you do speaks so loudly
I cannot hear what you say," We be-
lieve that "actions' speak louder than
words"; and that possession is a. big-
ger thing than profession.
It is not what we believe that makes
the world better; it is always what we
do. The Old Book argues: "Though I
speak with th.e tongues of men and
angels, and have the gift of prophecy,
and give my goods to feed the poor
and my body to be burned, if I have
not love I am nothing, and love suffer-
eth long and is kind:"
No; you may believe everything
there is to believe in the world, but.
unless you translate your faith into
practice, people will only pity you. i
We want to see the goods. Words
have so often deceived us, that unless
we can handle and compare we don't
accept.
Again and again it is said in busi-
ness: "Let me see your sample's:" It
is not what we say about our products
that matters. We must examine foe
ourselves, and the eyes of purchasers
are keen. They can soon detect the
tiaw or the trick. Human trust is so
delicate a thing that it has only to be
betrayed once, and we are not ready
to expose it again.
We have each something to offer the
world that no one wise has ---a bit of
special service, or love or hope or
comfort, As we make the offer people
will naturally eek to see what effect
it has upon ourselves, If I niake the
profession I shall be expected to de-
liver the goods. Not what I say inat-
te'rs much: what T do affects things
aternaily. Good works and good
goods, and a good heart :rock won

promise, then etrain ail your powers to
fulfil that promise, for by 111e fulfil-
ment you will be judged at the bar of
human nature and not by the former.
Let your word be your bond, and no
one will oo'mplain. It is because so of-
ten the 'word and the bond have been
divorced that ethers• have been lett to
doubt us.
Remember, we are never off duty
enol duty ever means doing.
So, it you are in an office, strive to
do •yeun• week in the host way; if be-
hind a counter, be honest and don't

were reputed to have red hair, and the
fair-haired Saxons hated the color.
Even among the old Greek myths we
find that Medusa,• the terrible Gorgon,
had crisp red locks, which afterwards
were changed to hissing serpents.
But when we leap onwards and
reach the pages of Hamer we find that
the immortal. Helen of Troy, the most
beautiful woman in the world, had red
hair, and surely here we discover the
secret of the red-haired minx; for al-
though Helen's name has leased down
to us right through the centuries as
the mast radiant being the world has
ever seen, she was siren and tempt-
ress too.
The ten years' war, distress and
desolation . - , yet most vividly
of all we remember that stelae on the
walla of Troy when Helen met the
old men, and their hearts grew weak
as water as they gazed et her and her
beauty. Curses died away. Red-hair-
ed beauty won.
Cleopatra, "serpent of od Nile," had
red hair. She was not beautiful; In-
deed, authorities declare her to be
quite plain, even snub-nosed, but she
had red hair, and won Mark Antony,
prince of lovers, whose sole thought
was to please the Egyptian siren.
Queen Elizabeth must have thought
red hair becoming. for It is said she
wore a red wig when she wished to
look at iter best; the ill-fated but love-
ly Mary Queen cf Scots is reputed to
have had red hair; and we know that
Laura, whom Petaarch has immortal-
ized by his verses, first attracted him
by her red tresses.
"Red hair, hot temper," rues an old
Midland saying; indeed, it seems to
be generally acknowledged that red-
haired folk have fiery tempers.

Waiting at the Church.
"When I was organist of St. Mich-

Arthur Lawrence's• biography of
this genial comiiosei' of "H.M.S. Piano -

friend, Cranmer Byng, was appointed
vicar .of e new church, and I designed
the new otsgau far him and undertook
to find an organist. When the day ar-
rived for the consecration, 1 hadn't
obtained the orgenist for him, so I
volunllteered to play for two or three
Sundays, until 1 could find someone
else, with the result, however, that I
played there for two or three years.
I remember that at tate conaecration
of the church, by the then I31s1top of

Letting in the Spring..
Most folk believe that spring rises
from the ground, or that it breaks out
an the tips' of 'busihes and trees, or
comes with the signal of a bird's call,
or the creeping forth of a tiny insect.
They may, in a senna, be right, but
they do not go far enough. No first
Sorting moment arrives while your
eyes look down, or while they are fo-
cused on some small object. Spring
cones from above; it arrives . et an

back—'an unfettrereljd and wholly inde-
finable emergence from a mist morn-
ing of sunshine. It is high above; it
is beyond the trees and the steeple;
and it oalls the whole world to rise and
meet it—to look up.

Spring comes with almost over-

Fast—and Be- Fit.
What le the key to perfect health?
According to Professor A. 3. Carlson,
the fani>qus Chicago scientist, the ans-
wer Is fasiting. But this may be bath
dangerous and injurious if not carried
out scientifically.
Many people habitually eat and
drink too much, The result is bhat
poisons, or toxins, are formed in their
system and circulate in the blood
stream, causing ill -health and mental
sluggishness.
The best way to purify the over•
cherrged bloodstream and digestive
tract is, to fast. A three days' fast is
sufficient, and during it all undue
strain should be avoided. There must
be no running upstairs or to catch
train or bus, Water should be taken
in abundenoe, and every morning and
night the juice of an orange or grape-
fruit.
When the first meal iso missed the
faster will want to eat. Lat him ig-
nore
gnore the signals; he is feeling what is
known as a "false appetite." At the
end of twenty-four hours he will not
feel the want of food at all. He will,
however, be conscious of a clearness
of brain which he seldom experiences
while eating heartily.
Duriug this, period the body is tak-
ing a well-earned rest For sustenance
it is drawing on its bank—the bank of
fat we all pos'se'ss in varying degrees.
It is also casting out accumulated
poisons..
Great care must be used when the
fast IS broken at the end of two or
three days' abstinence. A start
should be made with fruit -juice and a
very small amount of whoilemeaal bread
thoroughly masticated. After this
snail amounts. of milk, sipped slowly,
Rill start up the digestive machine
again. And so back to normalways.
But the fast will have been in vain un-
less th•e lesson of moderation has been
learned.

c-ploted in search of oommerecial ore

of the known oacn re'ncen of zinc and
Lead in Eastern Canada that have not
been at least examined recently by
prospective purchasers, or operators.
In Nova Sootia s'haft•sln,king is now

prospect in Cape Breton, and the old
Sn tbfield lead mine near Truro, in
Colchester county, is being put in
shape for further exploration of the
ore 'bodies. . 1'n Quebec, the British
1Vleta.4s Corporation have made a num-
ber of improvements both in their
mine and mill at Notre -Dame des An
ges, that have resulted in a consider-
ably increased output; and further dia
mond drilling has been done an the
Federal Zinc and Lead Company's
mine in Gaspe, though actual produc-
tion has not yet been undertaken. In
Ontario, the Kingdon Mining, Smelting
and Manufacturing Company are pre-
paring to further increase the output
of their Gadetta lead mine ;'rho old
Frontenac lead nine, near- Kingston,
has been pumped out and examined, as
has also the old Wright mine an lake

is now being ca:rwied on from the bot

drilling is also being done in a. search

Sudbury; and one of the Cobalt min-

A most promising new source of
zinc in Eastern Canada is the gold-

zinc in the form of sphalerite is, found
