HERE hope dies bell begins. NO DBIKKT1TO man can b a trusted. Thx man who robs the poor robe God. It is always safe to expect great things ol God. A bad man can never own anything tbat I fireproof. When we get religion right il makes us generous. Look a difficulty squarely In the face and it will run. A tktjth can never be put In tbe grave and kept there. Self-conceit always puffs us up se tbat our eyes go shut Famine runs from tbe man who puts heart into bis work. In Christian life no man can live iny higher than he looks. To keep God out of the heart means to keep tbe devil in. The cross we pick out for ourselves Is not the cross of Christ Palm tree prosperity does not de pend on weather or climate. Everybody else has a right to know what we know about God. God employs no hired men. His work is all done by his sons. God's way of making a man rich it to first make him righteous. A self-made man generally man iges to spoil his job somewhere. The devil is afraid of the man who llways has sunshine In bis heart Christ was crucified by sinners who occupied front seats in the church. "I shall yet praise Him," is always the song of the soul that has no doubt There is no sin so small that to keep it does not mean to reject Christ Nothing pays a poorer interest on the investment than wearing a long face. The windows of Heaven are always hut against tbe man who will not work. The most unprofitable thing we can undertake to do is to avenge our selves. It does not take stuff that can be bought and sold to make God's chil dren rich. It never hurts the man of faith a bit to sometimes have to travel in the dark. The only thing for the Christian to be concerned about is bis loyalty to Christ The palm tree will grow and bear fruit anywhere, and so will a true Christian. When we love the Lord in earnest some of the neighbors will be sure to Ind it out Harvest will never come for the man who will not get out of bed to plow and plant The devil never throws any stones at the preacher whose religion is ail in bis head.

One of the most curions natural phe nomena, and one which has never tji ret been explained by the philosophers, is that In reference to the expansion of freezing water. The case ef water la a singular exception to all natural la we of expansion by heat and contraction by cold, which apply In cases of all other known liquids. When water la freezing It contracts In bulk down to the point where the mercery reac'xrs the reading of 80 degrees, of 7 de grees above freezing, from which polDt It slowly expands according to the in tensity of cold. No other liquid Is known to possess this remarkable prop erty, except that certain metals expand slightly In passing from a liquid to a solid etate. But If heat be applied to water after It has cooled down to a temperature of 39V4 degrees (the point where It la ready to begin expanding should a greater degree of cold be up plied) It will immediately expand by the universal law. But should we lower the temperature to 32 degrees it will expand by Its own special law. Another curious point to be noted here la this: That the amount of expansion is as great In water lowered from S9 degrees down to 82 degrees as It is in water that has been heated so that the temperature runs up from 89 to 47 degrees. These points are certainly odd and curious and worthy of atton tlon and experiment. St. Louis Re public. Naval Officers. By the time a cadet is through with his course In the Naval Academy, he realizes that the pay he la to receive is not large In proportion to the state he must maintain as an officer of the navy. When the young ensign is on his pay of twelve hundred dollars a year, dur ing the first five years he looks upon matrimony as a thing beyond blm, un less he has a private fortune. The prob lem presented is how to maintain him seir and a family ror the next nrteen years on an average of about fourteen hundred dollars a year to maintain a respectable appearance In several kinds of uniform, besides citizen's clothes, and keep up two establishments, so to speak, one ashore for his wife and chil dren and one at sea for himself. Never theless, there are a considerable num ber of naval officers not above tbe rank of ensign, or junior lieutenant who are maintaining themselves and families of varying sizes upon their pay alone. The taking on of such responsibilities means that the officer must be ready to go to sea at all times, as shore duties bring a reduction of pay. When at sea he can calculate almost to a penny his personal expenses, which need not be more than thirty-five or forty dollars a month. So he arranges in advance that a considerable part of his pay shall g-o each month directly from the de partment to those left behind at home, and manfully faces the necessity of living on what remains. The officer who Is tempted to ease his financial straits by running Into debt, speedily finds his last case worse than his first, for the Secretary of the Navy exercises a paternal supervision over the debts of his young men, and long-suffering tradesmen can bring naval debtors to book by an appeal to the head of the department.
