Obtaining Meaas of Kors
laa a livimi.
One fact which stood prominently
out in the statements Bade at the an
imal DMetiDg in London of the Society
for rromotiiiff the Employment of
Women, because, perhaps, of the em
phasis gives it by the chairman, Sir
Owen Roberta, wus that there were
2,000,000 more woaien in this country
than men, says the London News, Ob
viously, therefore, the difficulty of ob
taining work for such of them us had
of necessity to earn their own lWinjr
was greater even than when males had
to be dealt with. And this was increased
by the comparative difficulty hitherto
experienced in providing the necessary
technical training for them. On this
point, however, Sir Owen Bobert point
ed hopefully to the effort now beinj?
mao'e by the county council in estab
lishing schools of domestic economy.
The chairman also pleaded for special
consideration for gentlewomen who
had reached middle life without baring
acquired skill in work of u definite
kind, these being the saddest cases
that come under the notice of the
society. Lady Knight ley, of Kawsley,
who moved the adoption of the report
which dealt with the work of the for
tieth year of the society, pointed OUt
that the market for women shorthand
writrrs und typewriters was over
stocked, and suggested that women
should turn their attention to dairying
and the direction of laundries.
TOLD BY THE FACE.
I'ny aloaraoaslata Can with Much Cer
tainty Tell a Mau's Calling;
by Ills 1'catiici,
"A man's occupation or condition has
more to do with making his face than
most people think," observed n gentle
man who is somewhut of a juilo of
character to a Washington Star w riter.
"Intellectual pursuits, like the studies
of the scholarly professions, when
coupled with temperate and good moral
habits of life, brighten the face and
give the person u refined und superior
look. Magnanimity of nature or the
love of study and art will make a bright,
glad face, but, contrary to this, a man
may hnvu, a face that does not please
anybody, because of a love of self to the
exclusion of others), notwithstanding
his learning and worldly shrewdness.
Soldiers get a hard, severe look; over
worked laborers constantly look tired;
reporters look inquisitive; judges be
come grave, even when off the bench;
the man who has had domestic trouble
looks all broken up.
"An example of the ludicrous side of
this subject is to see a third-class law
yer stalking around a police court look
ing as wise as an owl. Tho business
makes the face, I say. There's the
merchant's face, the ministerial face,
the lawyer's face, the doctor's face, the
hoodlum's face, all so distant each from
the other and singly, and I seldom fail
to recognize those callings shining
through the faces. And what city-bred
boy cannot recognize a genuine farmer
the moment he sees him on the street?"
JOHNNY ON THE SPOT.
The Nmaii Doy Who Old .Not Overlook
the Chance of (iettlnif
a Job.
The young man came out of a Jai finlle
street tailor shop with a hammer in
one hand and a small piece of board
In the other nnA gazed languidly up ami
down the street. It was nine o'clock
In the morning, says the Chicago Chron
icle, and the thoroughfare was crowd
ed. After a brief survey lie turned to
the doorway again, and, producing a
nail from his pocket, liegan to fasten
the board to the door frame. Then it
w as seen that it was n sign, und it bore
the magic words:
! V !
: BOY WANTED. :
i
The young man had struck the nail
about four feeble blows when ho felt
his striking arm plucked by the sleeve.
He turned his head. There stood the
boy who wanted the job for which a
boy was wanted.
"Did you hire a boy yet ?" he asked.
"Great Scott, no!" said tlie tailor's
assistant. "1 haven't got the sign up
yet."
"Well, you don't need to put It up
now," said the small boy. "I'm here.
What do you want of the sign?"
Which, impressing the young man as
pretty good logic, he pulled out the
nail again and took sign and boy into
the store.
A Queer Advertisement.
The London duily newspapers are
famous for queer advertisements if
for nothing else. A "personal" which
appeared recently in one of them reads:
"Wanted A respectable gentleman
widower preferred to marry the house
keeper of an aged gentleman, who has
been an invalid for years, and who re
Speeta her ns a good and true servant,
whom he would like to see in the happy
state of matrimony before he dies. She
has had three husbands, but is willing
for a fourth."
Makes the Shah Marvel.
The shah of l'ersia thinks tbnt the
art of printing transcends all others
and has a particular admiration for his
court printer, lie has lately seen a
typewriter and the Idea that "printing"
can be accomplished by the mere tap
ping of the keys was almost too much
for him.

EXPLANATORY.
L Ood'i Fatherly Love and Care for
His People. Vs. l-i. Malachi's proph
ecy begins with the statement of a
great ! id. which fact Is itself nn argu
ment ur.d appeal for right conduct
1 have loved you, snith the Lord. The
reply wss. "Where i bast thou loved us?
How do we know you love us? What
have you done to show your love?"
II. 'The Mean Way in Which They
Treated Their Loving Ood, Vs. ML
The prophet shows them why they have
been treated as Uiry txpectcd 8 good
Heavenly Father to treat them. They
would net permit it.
V. S, "A son honoureth his father."
That is the normal, natural and usual
way. "If then I be a father, as you
call me, and whose fatherly love you
expect, 'where la mine honour?' Why
do you not treat me ns a father?" "O
priests!" The religious leaders of Un
people. "And ye say, Wherein have
we despised thy name?'" They either
tried to brazen it out, or their oon
sclenees were too dull to realize what
they had been doing.
V. 7. "Ye ofTer pointed bread upon
mine altar." That which they could not
use themselves they ofTorsd In sacrifice.
V. B, ' "The blind for sacrifice
the lame and sick." Whatever was
worthless and could not be sold or eaten
by themselves they offend in sacrifice.
"Is it not evil?" An insult, a piece of
wlfUhness in the guise of piety. To
how them that this Is so he bids them
"offer It now unto thy governor."
Would you take such a present as that
w hen you went to honor him, or ask a
favor of him?
V. 9. "And now, 1 pray you, besseoh
God that he will be gracious unto us."
That Is, apply the same reasoning to
God, As you take a present to the gov
ernor when you wish a favor, so bring
your polluted bread, and your sick
sheep, and your blind lambs, and, pre
senting them to (iod, ask your favorsof
him. Yet, "this hath been by your
means." This is what you really have
done, and yet you wonder that you have
not received all the favors you have
asked!
V. 10. "Who would shut the
nought?" You are supremely selfish
and will nothing for love, nothing from
tho heart.
V. 11. "For." I have no occasion to
accept audi offerings, "for" there is au
abundance of true sacrifices elsewhere.
"My name shall be (U. V. is) great
among the Gentiles." "The present as
foreshadowing the future." "Incense:"
A type and expression of prayer. "Of
fering." Bpiritual sacrifice's of praise,
love and obedisnct.
IIL The Conditions of Spiritual
Prosperity. Vs. 8-12. After setting
some other duties in the right light,
and showing that judgment swift and
sure was coming upon evil-doers, the
prophet returns to the subject of dis
honoring God by their neglect or per
version of their religious duties. In
chap. 1 It was through offerings, here
through tithes.
V. B. "Will a man rob God?" Can
any dare to do such a thing? "Yet ye
have robbed me. Wherein? In
tithes and offerings:" The tithe, was
"the tenth" of the increase of their
property, the produce of their orchards,
vineyards, flocks, herds and all their
gains.
V. 9. "Ye are cursed with a curse:"
(See Deut. 28.) They had expected to
gain for themselves by so much as they
withheld from God.
V. 10. "Dring ye all the tithes into
the storehouse:" The chambers which
surrounded the temple on three sides.
These had been so empty that In Xehe
miah'l absence one of them had been
fitted up for the abode of the heathen
Tobiah (Xeh. 10: 38; 13: 5-0, 12, 13).
"And prove me:" Kven if you are poor,
and may have to deny yourselves, put
me to the test, and sec if my way is
not better than yours. "If I will not
open you the windows of beavefl:" A
poetical and prowrbial expression,
.signifying a great downpouring which
is fancifully ascribed to the opening of
windows in the sky (Gen. 7: U 2 Kings
7: 2). F. E. Todd. "Pour you out:"
"F.mpty out," as if Goel meant that he
would empty forth his vast reservoir
of blessings. Cowlcs.
V. 11. "1 will rebuke:" Warn off,
prevent from coming. "The devourcr:"
Lit., ester; I. e.
V. 12. "All nations shall call you
blessed:" Happy. So great will be your
prosperity and happiness that the fame
thereof will extend to all nations, as
In Solomon's time. "A delightsome
land : " A lovely place to live in, a para
dise. Giving for Christ's cause and the good
of men is a great privilege, to be soaght
After, longed for. God doe not need
our gifts. The wealth of the universe
ts his. Hosts of angels are ready to
:arry out his will. But we need the
privilege of giving, of helping our fel
'.owmen, of expressing and enlarging
,ur love and gratitude to God.
Spear Points.
A half success may be a whole failure.
The place of prayer become the bos
sm of God.
He who falls before Him will be raised
beside Him.
The greatest motive force are the
ones that cannot be moved.
To jump down a man's throat ii a
poor way to get to his heart.
If our hands would touch humanity,
jur hearts must touch Heaven.
We sigh for the martyr's testings snd
neglect thepetty persecution which God
permits as preparation for them.
