It was u heathen poet whom St. Paul quoted, "Ho not deceived; evil fommunlcutioi.s corrupt Kod man lierH." And Solomon puts th-i ue stronxly when ho f.ijs, "IIu Uiat walketli with wise men shall be wise but a companion of fools shall bo de stroyed." It Is not always true that "birds of a feather Hock together," for in a multitude of rases youn;; men and women have bevn utterly Innocent of any disposition to evil lu tbPir choice of companions, they havj been corrupted before they knew it. Kvil associates do not usually adver tise their baseness abroad, but do tbelr work little by llttlo.

Many a person has been lured to death throua.li this policy of closing the eyes to UlsnRrea ible and hideous facts. The peril is everywhere in our day and those are tho wisest parents who teach their Children the absolute necessity or hcavun-bloased purity. "A white life for two" should be the standard wrought Into the very constitutions of our boys and girls, and the Pro verbs of Solomon are an Inspired as sistance la that direction. Intemperance. The Intemperance against which Solomon Inveighs Is not limited to Intoxicating drinl., a some people Imagine, but to all those indigencies of tho appetite which are carried to xcess and beyond a proper gratifica tion. Solomon puts the glutton and the drunkard in the same category, while wo are Inclined to limit Intem perance to the abuse of alcohol. It Is not nocessary in modern times to dwell upon the evils of strong drink; its effects aro too apparent to be d-erlookod. but It Is essential to bear In iilud that over-indulgence In any (.Irectlau Is reprehensible. The mas tery of physical appetites Is a great ocslderatuin. This is equally true In all tho conditions of life, whether you use earthen dishes on a pine ta ble or gold plate on polished m l9San?. . .

A horrible revelation Is made Iti publication devoted to fccientlflo mat tfrs. It is that hands age even more rapidly than faces. So where as women make every otlort to pre serve tho youthful unpen of tbelr faces, they foolishly allow their hands to giv . them away. It is ex tremely disconcerting to think that tl.a observant eye Is not fixed on the t.vce, or even on the telltale chin, but op the. h.-.nuh. There are ways, for tunately, by which their treachery can no cir. .'invented, bi.t j..ceuut:ona are morn likely to no neglected in tl eir case :nan In that of tho face.
