God loves the man who is not afraid of giants. Be a worker. A loafer is never happy anywhere. It is real gain to loso that which keeps us from God. Stand behind the truth, and the devil can't hurt you. The surest way to a man's pocket is through his heart A live minister and a dead church aro hard lo keep together. The right placo for every Christian is where lie is most needed. To have a big head and a small heart is a very great misfortune. The man who does all his praying on his knees, prays very little. The Lord's sheep have no business in the devil's blackberry patch. If your religion does not make you happy what good does it do you? The man who looks at everything through money can not see very far. A man who is mean to his wife is a man the devil is not even watching. A wide nwnke preacher is pretty sure to keep his church from going to sleep. It is no excuse for a man to drink beer because Christ turned atcr iuto wine. No man can please God by accident. He must want to do it, and plan to do it It is a great misfortune to be boru so that all the laugh has to stay inside of you. The devil never asks nnybody to gq further than the next coiner to begin witlu A Christian with a long face is ono of tho best advertisements the devil bus on earth. The man who is honest with God doesn't need a big income to make him happy. There are not many poor men who would do a rich man's work for the pay be gets. The time to be pleasant and make it count is when everybody else is uu pleas ant One way to drive the boys and girls to the bad is to shut up the parlor and live in the kitchen. There never was a sermon preached more eloquent than the simple story of a new born soul The slow growth of population in France and the unwillingness of young people to marry ore social facts which are forcing themselves upon the atten tion of the government, and there is now bill be 'ore the chambers for the imposition of a heavy tax on bachelors. H. E. Van Do man, nomologist to the United States Agricultural Department, deelares that thert ie in the southern parts of California, Arisona, New Mex ico, and Texas millions of acres which can be made to produce as good dates as those grown in Arsbla and Persia, Apple nioKoin In Winter. We all love the leantifnl, delidonsly fragrant apple blossoms that charm us for a short season in the spring, and note sadly tho last shower of white petals over the emerald green carpet beneath the trees. All persons do not know, how ever, how easily these lovely flowers may be caused to bloom indoors In winter. If largo branches aro broken from the trees and placed in water in a warm, snnny window, they will soon flower, and many of the blossoms will bo as beautiful and fragrant as tlioso that bloom on tho trees iu tho spring. Cam must lw taken to select such branches as have an abundance of plump blooming buds, nnd somo of these should be removed, as well as some of the moro pointed leaf bnds. Wild pear and wild cherry branches nwy e flowered In a similar manner, but not so satisfactorily as apple tree limbs. No doubt many other kinds of eurly blooming shrnbs and trees conld bo mado to blossom in this way. Here is an interesting field for experi ment for flower lovers, particularly for invalids and children. Tho satisfaction of pending to a sick neighbor or present ing to :t friend a bunch of fresh applo blossoms in winter amply repays the trifling labor required to produce them. Youth's Companion. Sherman'i Memoirs. The death of General Sherman has bad the effect of creating a demand for bis memoirs. Tho publishers tell me that tho demand is something wholly tinex pected, and yet they might have known from past experience that tho death of n famous and great man is sure to arouse finch interest. Sherman's memoirs are pronounced by literary critics, in some respects, the most fascinating literature of tho war. In his stylo Sherman was unique and original, just as ho wad in bis action and habits of thought. A distinguished teacher of Connecticut said recently that ho had advised his scholars to read Grant's memoirs and thoso of Sherman, so that they might learn what a splendid thing simplicity, lucidity and directness wero in a literary style. Sherman's memoirs never had tho salo that was ex pected of them, and in fact none of the recollections published by tho distin guished nctors in tho civil war ever mado much money, excepting "Grant's Memoirs." In his case, the extremely dramatic and pitiful circumstances associated with tho writing of thorn did as much to bring about the enormous salo an did Grant's reputation as the great com mander. E. J. Edwards in Philadel phia Presa Ono Maine Boy. The son of Mr. Alvin Howes, of Pal myra, is considered about the smartest boy in this section. Ho is 9 years old and is master of Greenleafs Complete Arithmetic, having interest, equation of payments, mensuration, square root, cube root, etc., at bis tongue's end. He will perform calculations with large num bers readily without slate or pencil, and rarely, if ever, make a mistake. With him a thing once learned is never for gotten. He began to learn geography when he was 8 years old by hearing his brother reciting his lessons to his mother, and now it is next to an impossibility to ask him a question in that study that he cannot readily answer. He has a better knowledge of physiol ogy than most teachers possess, and withal is quite a politician, being better posted on the events of the lav than many who go to the polls and vote. He uas nor, Deen aruieu at home to show off; he has only been assisted when he called for help. He is a well develoned. hejdthv looking child of modest and pleasing manners. naruana Jor. fittsHeld (Me.) Advertiser. Wall-Leveling nifie.

Collins, a sewing machine agent. committed suicido at Memphis the other day. First it was supposed ho was a defaulter, but tluit didn't pan out. Then it was assumed that he loved a girl and she wouldn't have him, but that was dis pelled. Then came tho announcement that he had killed himself to shield a friend, and that friend a plain man. It seems tho story is true too. Collins had a friend who was charged with a serious offense. Collins was tho most damaging witness in the case. His testimony would undoubtedly salt his friend, and rather than do that he committed suicide. De troit Journal. Taking Medicine by Bleetriolty. A noted physician of Paris claims to have succeeded by a novel application of electrolysis and electrosvjiethis, analo gous to tho electro-deposition of metals, in conveying by the electric current to diseased internal organs of the human body the constituents of the drugs neces sary for their recovery. A commission of the French Academy of Science, one of which is the learned Dr. Charcot, has been appointed to ascertain the value of the results, and to extend the investiga tions.
