NOTES AND COMMENTS, This date has been set aside as the world's temperance Sunday, the Scrip- ture paaaage selected by the interna tional committee to he studied empha sises the lesson of sobriety in every phase of life. In our day the greatest intemperance is thai relating to the use of intoxicating liquors. Virtues of a Sober Life. It has been noted that In the ftrat 11 verse at tention is called lo 19 virtues. (I) "He sober." or, according to the re vised version, temperate referring es pecially to the use of wine. (2) "Grave:" Conducting oneself with due propriety of demeanor. (3) "Tem perate:" This is rendered "sober minded" in the revision, and calls for a perfect control over the impulses, (i) ".Sound in faitht" We must not only have faith, but the right kind of faith; such makes life healthful and wholesome, (5) Sound also "in charity," and (ii) "in patience:" Here We have throe great essentials to any Christian character faith, love und pntience. (7) "In behavior as be eonieth holiness:" The revised ver sion says "re- 'rent !p 'Vneanor." llev erence is one of the virtues much lacking in our modern life, or at least one we could cultivate to good ad vantage more assiduously. (8) "Not false accusers:" Or, not slanderers. Aiding in the circulation of unfound ed rumors, or unkindly gossip, is not becoming to a Christian. (D) "Not given to much wine:" The revised ver sion again gives us the key when it says "enslaved" to much wine, (liv ing oneself over to Immoderate drink ing means the losing of one's Inde pendence. (10) "Teachers of good things:" If we have learned the right way of living, it is only right to try to persuade others to ndopt it, too. (11) Love of home is the virtue incul cated in verses 4 anil 5, and love of home is a distinctly Christian trait. (12) "Be Bober-minded:" This to young men who are ant to live bv im pulse, and trust to :i'e and experience to Imbue a frame of mind that should early be cultivated OJ' all means with in reach. (13) "Showing thyself u pattern of pood works:" Try to be what you want Others to be. The best preaching is honest practice, (ii) "In doctrine showing Incorruptnesa and sincerity:" Doctrine means teaching. (15) ".Sound speech:" The mutter nnd manner of speech count for much. (18) "Obedient unto their own mas ters, and to please them well:" Thin to servants, and this includes em ployes and others who for part of the time at least are not wholly their own masters. Note tnat the apostle places importance on being "well pleasing.' (17) "Not purloining:" That is avoid' ing dishonest practices of any kind (18) "Showing all good fidelity:". Faithfulness in every relation of life is a virtue that should be perfected, I "Adorn the uoetrine:" "The beauty' of holiness" is not always apparent in Christians, but should be made to ap pear in all. The doctrine should be commended by the beauty of thu life. Incentives to Sober Living. One rea son for living as the apostle exhorts all to is "the grace of (lod." It is a loving l'rovidencc who looks after the welfare and interest of His children. To live in accordance with the divine plan ought to be our highest ambi tion. Another incentive is thnt the time is coining when, nt "the glorious appearing of the Great God," we shall hear Bis commendation: "Well done, good nnd faithful servant." A third incentive is that Christ died that we Diight be redeemed from sin. Spear I'olnta. There are no dead saints. The better days will come only as you do your best to-day. The more intensive your faith the more extensive your influence. The church without a prayer meet ing is a body without a heart. If you give no place to the devil you will not go to the devil's place. While we are close to Christ we never find any weight in his yoke. The Christian who knows God, will praise Bim every day of his life, whether he feels like it or not Barn's Horn. 5 " . THE LOVELIEST WOMAN. Margaret 1'nllrr Would Havr Ex-chang-rd Her Intrllrrl for F.rull) Marahall'a llraut). Margaret Fuller once expressed the willingness to exchange her tine intel lect and all her accomplishments for the beauty and attractiveness of Fm ily Marshall (who had been her schoolmate), writes Wlitiam l'crrine of "The Loveliest Woman in All America." In the Ladies' Home Jour nal, "Miss Marshall stood before us a reversion to that faultless type of structure which artists have imagined in the paM and to that d :il loveliness of disposition which poets have fancied in the golden age," w si the verdict of a Iloston gallant, one of the fair beauty's neighbors, recorded in after life, w hen his judgment wag unprejudiced. Such was the homage which the people ot Boston wxiuld sometimes bestow upon Miss Marshall that one night when Daniel Webster, then beginning his larger in the United States senate, vis ited the Federal Street theater the ap plause which the audience showered upon him was not greater than the cheers with which it welcomed the divine Emily. In New York she caused itch a sensation that one morning ten gentlemen at one time were seen In her escort, ami Co left their cards for her. When she wi tit to such summer resorts s Saratoga the crowds at the hotel would form lane through which she might pass as they waited to view her going to anil from her coach, and it is s Philadelphia tradition that when she visited that city one of the schools wn closed earlier than the usual hour to I fi-nr the young ir'rls s chance to nr the famous belle. Indeed, women looked upon her with an admiration which they seldom accord to beauties AUTHOR MADE A HIT. He Finally Brought iiu Novel to n Close in advance of hin Flrnl Purpoae, One of the mast popular novels of the day had a strain- history which might have been considered fatal to its Success had it bei n considered In advance. A New York author whose books are always BUre f a ci rtain de gree of popularity finished all but the last few chap crs of a novel. Try ns he might, it was impossible for him lo complete the story satisfactorily. So he put the book aw: y and for two years it lay unfinished on his desk, al though the author thought of the work from time to time without be ing able to get nny nearer the solu- lion of the plot, says the New York Sun. Finally he lost all hope of ever com pleting the work nnd decided to end it at a point several chapters in ad vance of that at which he had ceased to write. With this abrupt and unex pected ending the novel went to a pub iisber, was accepted and turned out one of the most popular novels this author has ever written. One of the most praised features of the book is its unconventional end ng, which is said to be just explicit i nough to sat isfy everybody without going into ar tistic detail. And the iilthor was at one time so discouraged about the end ing of the hook that he had almost given up the Idea of submitting it to any publisher. JUDCE AND HIS DOG. An Knitli'li Jgvist l,ove for Ani mal a II rlo us Mini Into Ridlonle. It is learned from the English papi rs that Baron Urarapton, longer and more familiarly Known as Sir Henry Hawk ins, or us "Old 'Arry 'Awkins" as the good people of London called him at times has just Celebrated his eighty third birthday. There is probably none of Queen Victoria's judges, either on t he active or on the reti red list, w ho knows so much of the seamy side of life as does Boron Brampton, He is the. hero of more stories than have been told of any other occupant of the judicial bench, living or dead. 1 1 is con- j ttant companion, and most devoted friend, a singularly restless and clever little terrier, figures in many of these. For instance, once when the nervous little animal was dragging his vener able master violently along by itl leash, a member of the criminal classes, who knew both master and dog very , Well, indeed, called out loudly: "Why,, Hill, don't go it so 'nrd, the old 'tin isn't, blind!" Lord Brampton's excessive love for animals on another occasion prompted him to interpose when a learned counsel had been talking about "evidence to hang a dog" and to ask what would be sufficient evidence for that purpose. "That, m' lud," replied the lawyer, with significance, "would depend very much on whom the dog belonged toj" Cat Fnnil of lee. A tobacconist in South Fourth street is the owner of a one-eyed tom-cat, which is an Ice fiend. The cat's name is Jerubbaal. He sits on his owner's doorstep every morning and waits for the ice man, and when the latter puts! the customary cake of ice on the pave meat, preparatory to opening the door, the cat eagerly runs to pick up the lit tle pieces which are generally chipped off. The cat holes the ice in his mouth until it dissolves. On occa- along the cat mews until his owner gets the pick and l.renks off some pieces for him. Summer or winter, Jerubbaal must have his ice. Armor for .Soldiers. On the threshold of the twentieth century the Hritish war ofhee has re sorted to armor for the protection of its soldiers. Orders have been given for the purchase of a number of small steel shields to cover the vital parts about the heart. Th shields weigh about seven pounds and in tests have turned bullets at 700 yards. CHINESE CIVIL SERVICE. Poalilnna In i lie ( aitiimi Service Ara Attractive aad Are i:. aerlf Sought. There is no fixed limit to the length of time which a Chinese customs as sistant may spend at a port, says II. ('. Whittlesey, in Atlantic. The average period is about three years. The chances then are that a man In a southern port will be ordered north, or that one on the Ynngtse will be sent south. Promotion to the next higher grade often accompanies transfer, and there is also the change of climate and the opportunity to see and learn more of the land, its cus toms and people. In the north the foreigner has an excellent chance to ; collect a variety of curios consisting of old coins, pieces of porcelain, an tique hroner, ami choice bits of em broidery, while on the Yangtse nnd In the south he can suit a critical taste in selecting silk piece goods, sil ver and gold nrticlos of native work manship, and wood and ivory carvings At the end of seven years a member of the indoor staff completes his first period, us il is called, and is en titled to go home for a two years' hol- luay, ana niso to receive one years full pay as a gratuity. I'pon his g ing back to China for fun her service the customs pay one half of the cost of his return fare. He then serves five years "more, when he completes his second peroid, nnd enn again go home on two years' leave and re Ceiva n second gratuity and so on for as long as health and inclination may permit. , . . '1 he conditions of sn en gugemenl In the customs are consid ered usually attractive on account of the generous salary, security of posi tion, and prospect of sure advance ment. Resignations rarely occur, nnd there are always more applicants than there are vacancies. CHINESE WOMEN SERVANTS. Thrj Are of Finn inn It Km i In r mi ll I AmiinK the Japanese Few In Anierlen. We are accustomed to think only of Chinamen as servants, because it is al most unknown for a Chinese woman to go out to service i n this count ry . sayi the New York Commercial Advertiser. This is not the case, however, in Japan, some of the most flicient servants of tl it country being from China. A mer chant from this conn t ry, w ho has been doing business in Tokio for several years, returned home recently, bring ! ing w him two Chinese women us nurses for his young children. He says i it la customer in Japan to place the I very young children in charge of Chi nese nurses, and when they are older to employ Japanese women. The rea son given ' because the Chinese wom en are so faithful in the care of bubies. A Chinese Buret hang Her hend 1 with shame if the baby cries. She thinks it is all her fault. She hovers over her charge with anxious care, and makes a great fuss if it appears that anyone is going to behave imprudently With the child. The stalwart father of the babies referred to used to go into the nursery and toss the little ones high in the air. But the nurse never failed to remonstrate nervously: "You will kill t ht iii iii their insides," she said. The Chinese nurse expects to take en tire charge of the child, preparing everything that it eats nnd washing its clothes. The nurse who came to this country with the American babies brought pebbles all the way from Japan with which she cleaned the in fant's bottle. Chinese servants are re garded in Japan as much more reliable than Japanese. THE CANDIDATE'S RETORT. Au Electioneering Incident in F.nii laad w lien the Candidal v un ihead. The duke of Leeds recently cele brated his thirty-ninth birthday at Hornby castle, near Bedale, where he generally lives with the duchesg and his four little daughters when he is not on board the Corisande enjoying his favorite recreation of yachting, The prospect from Hornby castle is a magnificent one, overlooking, as it does, one of the most beautiful of the Yorkshire dales. The park is of great extent and the timber exceptionally fine, the greatest care having been be stowed on every individual tree. The present duke is a nephew of Lord Sydney, (lodolphin Osborne, the-famon correspondent (under his initials, R. G. 0.) of the Times of a former genera tion, and fathe r of the young priest of the Orntory, whose premature death a year or two ago was so widely regret ted. His grace himself has always looked younger than his years and the happy retort is not forgotten which he once made on the hustings when a parliamentary candidate to a voter who called out to the boyish-lokln speaker: "Does your mother know you're out?" "Yes, she docs." prompt ly rejoined Lord Carmarthen, as he was then, "nnd on Monday evening she'll know I'm in!" And so she did. lllanmrck on Diploma?. Men who think they are statesmen and diplomats by nature might, at any rate, consider the words of Bismarck: "Diplomacy," he says, "Is no shoemak er's, stool, on which one esn ait, stretch a knee strap and put a patch on n hole; diplomacy is not a craft which can be learned by years and developed by rote on a roller; diplomacy is sn art." A Celebrated King. Once, after exposing the ridiculous blunders of the editor of certain old plays, James Russell Lowell concluded with the remark: "In paint of fact, we must apply to this gentleman the name of the first king of Sparta." No one remembered, of course, what this was, but when they looked it up they found it was Eudamidaa. for Infants and Children. Castoria Is a harmless substitute lor Castor Oil, Par rorif.
