International Bible Lesson for
Aug. 29, 'oo-(i Cor. 13: 1-13).
Some yearn
ngo ri ship wus
bnuiiil from Ma
nilH to Slnga
lioru. She took
an KasU'rn pas-
ungo among tin;
l'htllpplnes, be-1
lng eighty days 1
on the voyage. A j
brig hnd sailed 1
some time be
fore, called the
Armndor, laden
with coconnut
oil. A few days
after the departure of the Manila ship,
while there was a strong breeze, and
a rough Bea, the surface became all at
once as smooth as a mill pond, al
though the breeze continued. On
looking over the side, the crew discov
ered that they were sailing through a
sea of oil. They continued in this oil
track for three days. On arriving nt
her destination, it was found that the
Armador had nrrlved a little whila
before with somo of '.lie oil cask
broken, and that her snilors had been
continually pumping oil out of the
hold into the sea. On comparing logs,
It appeared that when the oily sur
face was first seen, the two ships
were at least two hundred miles
apart. Such is the effect of oil upon
the troubled waters.
Love, a Lubricant.
Now, In our lesson for to-day, Paul
says that love has the same power
over the stormy passions of life. He
gives a list of things we are forbid
den to do the second table of the
commaadments, and then says that
love Is the secret of our ability to
keep them. "Love is the fulfilling of
the law." If have love, of the right
kind, and enough of it, we need not
worry about our ability to keep every
one of the commandments. Love is
the golden rule In practice. It is a
wonderful pacifier. A little love will
go a long way in calming a troubled
acene, and stilling angry passions. Let
us but carry a large caro of the oil
of love, and when the storms are
raging around us, keep the pumps
working, pouring heaven's pacificator
upon the troubled waters. :
"It Is love that thou lackest, thou
poor old world!
Who shall make thy love hot for
thee, frozen old world?
Thou are not happy as thou mlghtest
be,
- For the love of dear Jesus is little
In thee.
Thus F. W. Faber bings the truth
divinely stated, "the greatest of
these Is love."
Love, 'a Mantle.
Suppose w should insist upon rank
ing the best of one another! Every
one has his weakness, his faults, ami
we may make the worst of these by
critically fixing our attention constant
ly upon them. The caricaturist sees
everything twisted, distorted, exag
gerated, out of proportion; the artist
sees the angel in every rough block
of marble, and beauty evtryhere. The
difference is in the men, in their eyes,
what they are looking for. Love is
Slot blind, but love carries a mantle,
and like Noah's son's "Walks back
ward, with averted face, and nidus
the shame." By loving whatever Is
lovable in others, and there is no one
who has not some lovely traits, love
vlll flow' hack from them tu us, and
life will become a pleasure, rather
than a pain, earth will be transformed,
and we shall be unconsciously chang
ed into His image, whose name Is
love.
Only love can do this. To delight
In the graces and veil Hie defects of
the person who opposed your plans,
whose peculiar infirmities grate on
tliu sensibilities, and from whose con
spicuous faults your whole being ro
coils, is the highest summit of love.
But that Is the inly true, real love,
and its exercise stamps the possessor
as being heaven-horn.
Give water to thy thirsty foe,
The sandal tree, as if lo prove
How sweet to conquer hate by love
Perfumes the ax that lays it low."
Love, Self-Sacrificing.
Iu the Boston Public library there
has just been unveiled a picture by a
noted artist, entitled "The Redemp
tion." It is a delineation of the cruci
fied ChrlKt. The painter, In order to
tell the story of the self-sacrificing
1ve of the Son of God, has repre
sented at the foot of the cross a coll
ed serpent, pressed under the feut of
Christ. ;t is the picture of divine
love, surrendering itself to death, that
It might bruise the serpent's head,
and by so doing redeem the race from
tin. Suppose he had stood upon his
r'glits. had allowed those who had
Rin.iod to take the consequences, had
tut iu conscious rectitude far off, re
ferring to iren In tunes of pity, but
lifting no llr.gor to relievo them. He
might have done so. He was miliar
no obligation to do otherwise. It was
pure benevolence, unmerited favor,
fi-pfl grace and dying iove, wMch
Musid him to "bear our sins In VII3
own boly on the Uxc"
Tuba Holds It Outstretched While
Electricity Supplies Heat.
One thing that makes the washing
of the hair a troublesome proceudure
for ao many women, and which also
prevent them from enjoying surf
bathing, is the length of time It takes
the hair to dry. This difficulty Is
overcome by the drying apparatus in
vented by a New York man, which will
dry the hair thoroughly ir a few min
utes. The apparatus consists of a tube
leading from a semi-spherical reflec
tor In which are fixed a cluster of
electric bulbs. At the front end of
the tube Is a sheet of flexible water
proof material, with a drawing string
so that It can be adujsted over the
head, while the hair Is Btretched out
tit length along the tube and the elec
tric lights turned on. It takes a very
short time for the heat thus generat
ed to dry the hair as well as an hour
or two In the sunshine would do.
Far-sighted folk at seashore resorts
will lay in a Block of these dryers
and rub the ocean of the terrors it
holds for milady who Is particular
about her hair.
Household Suggestions.
A warm poultice of strong hops and
vinegar bound on an aching ear will
give Instant relief.
A teaspoonful of strong lime-water
will cure the worst case of colic.
To restore black lace, use a strong
solution of vinegar and water. Itlnse
In cold coffee and iron while damp,
with a piece of flannel between iron
and lace.
A traditional Virginia cure for ague
Is nine scoops of water In the hollow
of the right hand from a cold spring,
three mornings before sunrise, follow
ed by a cup of strong coffee with
lemon Juice. This Is positively claim
ed to be a never-falling remedy.
Hop-yeast thickened with pulver
ized charcoal will cure any case of
gangrene. Change poultices regularly
each night and morning.
To destroy proud flesh, heat large
shells from either sea or lake, cool
and pulverize very line, then sprinkle
on sore. A far better remedy than
burnt alum.
To remove grease from wood, free
ly apply a strong solution of saltpetre
and immediately wash off with cold
soft water.
To restore India rubber to its nat
ural pliancy, soak half an hour In one
part ammonia and two parts cold wa
ter. Aunt Fannie.
A Young Woman's Opinion of Men.
Is the American young man conceit
ed? Ask me something hard. His
chief form of entertainment is by pay
ing long, stupid calls. If he were not
conceited ue would know that we do
not enjoy It, although for the name
and fame of popularity we endure
them. He spends long evenings in
discoursing upon his own superior tal
ents and pursuits, while we smile, ad
mire and applaud, sometimes fortify
ing our positions with a chafing dish
spread, for the chafing dish is invalua
ble as a social asset nowadays.
Sometimes our patience and our ef
forts are rewarded. Sometimes, on
rare occasions, we are "taken out." A
girl who has made considerable study
of the subject, however, says "it takes
at least ten 'sit in the parlor" calls to
pay for at least one trip to the the
atre." Now, tills does not mean that
he is stingy; ho merely thinks his
own company furnishes all the enter
tainment possible.
Turn-Overs for Comfortables.
Sllkoline and delicate colored com
fortables are too quickly soiled across
the top where they come in contact
with the hands and face. Even the
upper sheet, turned over, will not stay
In place to protect the edge. I re
cently tried a simple expedient: 1
took a slip of sheeting, just the width
of the comfortable. 1 wished to pro
tect, and finished the end which fold
ed over the top, like a fancy sheet
with hand-embroidered initial and
button-holed edgo. The slip was about
eighteen Inches long, nud doubled
over the edge. This I basted to the
top of the comfortable and it looks
like an elaborate finishing touch to
my pretty silk comfortablo, yet can
b frequently removed for laundering.

Hot Weather Bathing.
Remember in hot weather that you
are cooler after a hot buth than one
that Is Ice cold. The hot water draws
the blood to the surface, making the
skin moist and cool; a cold bath in
duces rapid circulation, which mean
cx'.va heat.
