Kindness of the Well-Bred.
A well-bred person never forgets
the rights of others, nor forgets the
respect due to old age. The well-
bred person never under any circum-
stances causes another grief or pain,
-nd in conversation avoids contradic-
tion and argument. He will not boast
of any achievement, especially to the
less fortunate, and he will not talk
about his own troubles or ailments;
people may be sorry, but do not care
to hear such things.
He will not be unwise enough to
think that good intentions never car-
ried out compensate for bad manners,
and will not bore his companions by
exhortations upon “self” or any pri-
vate affairs. He will never make re-
marks about the peculiarities of oth-
ers; we all have peculiarities if we
looked for or acknowledged them.
He does not use bad language; he
does not forget a promise or an en-
gagement of any kind; if it is worth
making it is worth keeping.
He is agreeable and courteous to

will only have one set of manners
for home and abroad.
He will not when at table eat so
noisily as to be heard by others, or
drop toast in his soup or “sop” up
sauces on his plate with pieces of
bread; he will never fill his mouth
and try to enter into conversation.
He will not attract attention in public
places by loud talk or laughter. In
short, his refinement of manner and
gentleness of speech will also shine
forth upon all occasions anl at all
times.—Philadelphia Record.
~ What “They” Wear.
“The absurd prejudices by which
some women permit themselves to be
governed puzzle me,” said the West
Side woman. “They are without rea-
son or intelligence, yet women bow
down to them and serve them ag if
they were revelations from on high.
“Last spring I needed a new wrap
for afternoon wear and I decided to
get a cape. I selected a rich, hand-
some shade of blue—just the shade
that the old masters used in their
pictures of the Madonna. It is not
‘conspicuous, nor too light for sub-
stantial, daytime wear.
time I appeared in the cape I said to
a friend, ‘How do you like my new
wrap?’
“ “Why, it’s a cipal? she exclaimed,
in disapproving amazement. I ad-
mitted the obvious fact.
“ ‘But they don’t wear capes in
" the daytime; only in the evening!’
“I protested as mildly as I could
that I had naught to do with the
wearing apparel of ‘they,’ but was
free to choose my own. She looked
utterly unconvinced, and finally I
asked her if she could tell me any
reason, moral, spiritual, ethical, or
even mental, psychic or physical, why
I should not wear a cape in the day-
time if it seemed to meet my need.
Of course she could not, but she
tossed her head and simply reiterated,
‘Nobody’s wearing them.’
‘“Now, this fall, she has a cape—a
bright paprika color, as much more
‘conspicuous than mine as you can im-
agine. Of course I laughed at her
when I saw it. She looked utterly
. surprised to think I should comment
on it. and said, with an air of absolute
* finality, ‘Oh, well, they are wearing
‘them now!’ —New York Press.

The Corporation Tax,
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Cabell, of Washington, D. C., called
the attention of Collectors throughout
the country to the provisions of the
law imposing a special excise tax on
coroprations, requiring all returns to
be made to the proper collectors be-
fore 12 o’clock midnight of March
1, 1910, and the severe penalties
which will be incurred by such cor-
porations as shall refuse or neglect
to make return within the time speci-
fied. Blanks for making returns can
be had on application to collectors of
internal revenue. The minimum pen-
alty for violation is $1000 and the
maximum is $10,000.
Every collector is directed to turn
in a list of delinquents at the close of
business on March 1. The Commis-
sioner ‘has no discretion under the
law, but must fine delinquents,

God is always remembering us, and
if he should forget us for an instant,
in that instant we should perish;
why do we not think more about Him?
(v. L)
Do we live as if this world were
our home, or are we really homesick
for heaven? (v. 5.) :
Our bodies are of the earth and
perish, but we are to have bodies just
the same, and they will lack no beau-
ty or power (v. 7.)
God gave us the body as well as the
spirit, and we should be with God as
well while in the body as when we
leave it (v. 7.)
Thoughts.
We are sure of our immortality; the
only question is where we are to pass
it, and in what condition.
We cannot get ready for eternity if
we refuse to think of it and shrink
from the very idea.
Only One has come from that etern-
ity into our human life, and we can
learn about eternity from Him alone.
Some say that living today is the
only preparation for eternity. That
is true, but we can live well today
only by living in view of eternity.
If we knew that in ten years we
should be transported to Mars, how
greatly would our plans be changed!
But in less than ten years we may be
transported to a world that is farther
than Mars.
Earth passes as a bubble, but it 1s
solid enough for us to found all our
eternity upd it.

Christ's Resurrection and the Chris-
tian Conception of Life—
(Rom. 6. 8-11.)
Verse 8. To have died with Christ
is to have separated ourselves from
the old sinful life, and to have at-
tached ourselves finally and definitely
to him. That separation must be so
complete as to be practically a death.
By death Christ finally crowned his
life’s refusal to yield to sin, and he
has left us an example, that we should
follow in his steps. AE
Verse 9. The death of Christ ended
his struggle with sin, and he needed
not to fight the battle over. By that
‘he became perfect as our Teacher and
Lord, and his resurrection is at once
proof of his triumph and pledge that
his power will be given us in our con-
flict against the old sinful life.
Verse 10. “He liveth unto God.” In
that phrase is the idea of communion,
the idea of service, the idea of holl-
ness. And these ideas are meant for
us as well as for our Saviour. We
also are to live unto God.
Verse 11. If we reckon ourselves to
be dead unto sin, as Christ died unto
| sin, and alive unto God, through the
power of his resurrection, we shall
find that the resurrection is at the
very heart of all our Christian fellow-
ship, service, and life. As is shown
below, everything ‘vital in our religion
depends on this. Great Christian
fruits grow out of it. Advantage for
all life, today and tomorrow, is gain-
ed when we, like Christ, are dead to.
sin and alive to righteousness.
