Boys and girls who like to play clever tricks should learn how to make invisi- ble ink, as it is very useful in many tricks. This ink can be prepared in several ways, one of the best being as follows: Obtain two bottles, each of which will contain abount one ounce. Label these 1 and 2, respectively, so that there can be no mistake. No. 1 contains a solu- tion of iron sulphate, and No. 2 a solu- tion of gallic acid. Now, No. 1 is the ink and No. 2 the developer. Take a clean pen, preferably a quill, and dip it into ‘the bottle labeled No. 1, and write or draw on a piece of white paper al- lowing this to dry. The writing or drawing will be quite invisible, but as soon as it is sponged over with the solution in the bottle labeled No. 2, the writing or drawing will appear in deep, black character, or outline, as the case may be. Another form of invisible ink, which PICTURE PUZZLE. » 8 28 di ND sage 3 & Ix ym i A / Ee THE WISHING GIFT. ‘A young man was apprenticed to a Joiner, and after serving his time the master joiner gave him a wishing gift.

BOBBY’S BARGAIN, Henry and Bobby, ages eight and ten respectively, were little boys who thought and had tendencies. In conse- quence of which, at times, they were a source of great embarrassment to their mother. Bobby, in particular, had the money-making propensity. He saved his pennies religiously, and his eye was keen for a bargain. One evening at dinner their father had as a guest a gentleman who was a great horseman. The boys listened at- tentively to the conversation for awhile, then Bobby opened fire with: “Say, Mr. Smith, can you buy a horse for a hundred dollars?” “yes, Bobby,” said Mr. Smith, “you can.” . “Can you get one for fifty dollars?” $Yos.” “For twenty-five dollars?” ~$Yog “For ten dollars?” “Yes.” “For seven dollars?” ; “Perhaps.” “Seven dollars, really?’ said Bobby wonderingly. “Would the horse be awfully fast?” “Well,” said Mr. Smith, smiling, “you would not be likely to get a Lou Dillon or a Dan Pateh, but the crea- requires a different treatment for de- veloping, is a solution of very dilute sulphuric acid.

An Illuminating Crab. One of the marine curiosities fished some time ago from the bottom of the Indian Ocean was a mammoth sea crab which continually emitted a bright white light, similar to that seen in the spasmodic flashes of phosphor- escent luminosity emitted by the com- mon glow worm. The crab was cap- tured in the daytime and placed in a large tank containing specimens of fish, nothing peculiar except its im- mense size being noticeable in the broad glare of the tropical sun. At night, however, when all was pitchy darkness, the crab lit up the tank so that the other creatures in it could be plainly seén. A quantity of bullion has just been recovered from the sunken Rio de Janeiro, which was wrecked outside Queenstown Harbor three years ago. 4 A SERMON FOR SUNDAY AN ELOQUENT DISCOURSE ENTITLED, RL IFE’S ASSETS.” The Rev. Dr. Arthur H. Goodenough Talks Instructively on the Infinite Possibilities That Are in Man—What We Need to Know. Bristor, CoNxN.—The Rev. Dr. Arthur . Goodenough preached Sunday morning on “Life’s Assets.” The text was from 1 Corinthians 1ii:21, 22, 23: For all things are yours; whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours, and ye are Christ’s and Christ is God’s.” Dr. Goodenough said: Man aspires. His eye is on the sky. Man was made to walk erect. His impulse is to climb. This fact indicates his des- tiny. The earth beneath us and the world about us contribute to our flight, but they offer us no home. The world, so near to us and so essential to our present life, has its limitations and fetters. Man is impa- tient of limitations; he aspires to the in- finite and the infinite is always above us. The nobler man’s nature the more rest- less and determined is he to ascend. No philosophy of .life is true that fails to rec- ognize this instinct of the soul. Man de- sires more room, more room is above, and above .is something that attracts and draws. That fact is man’s salvation. . It is generally believed that man had his origin in God. God is the root from which all men have sprung. It is equally true that God is the complement of man and his goal. How noble is man. What infinite possibilities are in him. Man is not a waif, aimlessly wandering through a trackless wilderness, nor an orphan minus a parent’s guifing hand and tender voice. Man’s origin and destiny are one. It is God. If your five-year-old boy is in need he instinctively cries, “My father.” If he is in trouble "he as naturally cries, “My mother.” Instantly the complement of his needy nature is at hand. mother are to him all that he reeds. We are only larger children, With larger and more imperative needs. Is therg any help for us? We have outgrown the ability of our earthly parents to help us. What shall we do? As the thirsty ox turns to the babbling brook, we turn our eyes to the heavens and say, “My Father—God, help me.” And quicker than thought the help comes. Here we have the philosophy of happiness and the secret of success. As witnesses to this fact we call to the stand Augustine, Bernard, John Howe, Isaac Watts and Charles Wesley. The upward look wins. The man who aspires to God, and holiness, and immortality is the one to whom this text is spoken. “All things are yours; for’ ye are Christ’s and Christ is God’s.” . ’ The thing that wise men are thinking about is life. Bread and acres and dollars are only incidental. God made the acres. God’s sunshine and showers grew the grain from which -the bread is made. God fur- nished the material to make the dollar. Therefore, acres and bread and dollars are good because God had something to do with producing them. These are valuable contributions to life, some of our life values. Life itself 1s worth more than all of them put together. The man who cul- tivates your farm is worth more than the farm. The man who builds your home is worth more than the house. We are not paupers. No man, woman or child in this world need be poor. There are other values beside dollars. We are heirs to untold riches. Our heavenly Father, the unseen capitalist, has invested largely in us, and He is no spendthrift. He has put the value where it may multiply. Life is a feeble thing at the beginning; so is the acorn, but in the acorn is the massive oak; so ig the bulb, but the bulb contains the tint and perfume of the lily. So life as we see it in the babe, it contains a Kepler, a Newton, a Gladstone, a Mec- Kinley. : Characte. is a result, a product. Charac- ter tells the story of our conduct and in- dustry. Character is the fruitage of our thinking, our willing, our loving, our doing. And character is the man. Character de- termines one’s value to himself and to so- ciety. This is what makes biography the popular literature of our day. People in- terest people. Biography is death to pes- simism. “Thousands of men and women have succeeded in life. They have feasted on the universe and enjoyed the infinite, and the books tell us how they did it. My young friends, the one thing:-in this world for you to do, i to follow their example. You may. Character is no ready made thing; it is made to.order. If méans plan and purpose and persistence. You do not have to make the machinery nor the material; these are furnished. The se- lection of the web, the feeding of the loom, thas weaving of the cloth is ours. The re- sult is character, and character is destiny. This is the work of life. Human chances are not equal. Circumstances favor some more than others. No doubt of it. But then every man has a chance, aye, more, every man has a probability of success. There are possibilities of failure, and many seem to fail, but there is no excuse for failure. Oh, horrible, heartbreaking word is failure. May none of you ever know what it means. There is a way of escape from it. Make a right, not to say, best, use of what is in you, wisely appropriate what is about you, give reason the rein. Enthrone conscience. Be religious. And every step will be an ascent, every act the advance of the soul, and the enrichment of being. All things are yours to do with. It was never easier to be good than now. Perhaps it is never easy to be good. What makes it easier to be good to-day than it was yesterday? The multiplicity of helps at hand. To read some newspapers and to hear some speakers, one would suppose that nobody was good. The fact is, the world is full of good people. What is goodness? Not the muttering of a creed nor the repeating of a prayer; not the Jeading of the Bible nor going to church. Good people do these things, but these things are not essentially goodness. Bad people may do them, too. Goodness is consideration for the other fellow, sweet- ness of temper, gentleness of conduct, noble- ness of purpose, love to God and man. It is to live kindly and truly and well. It is like the Christ doing good every day and everywhere. "his 1s the goodness that counts in our day. And we rejoice to be- lieve that it is constantly on the increase. Goodness is true religion, and true religion is goodness. The two are inseparable. It is a culturing, refining, elevating process. It is ever making for the best 1 life is capable of. What God wants ior His chil- dren is cue best. The desire of God is human hanninecss. To this end He is pa- tient and indulgent. He is prodigal in gifts. He is ever lavishing His love upon us. God is neither mean nor little. He is the great Father, giving Himself for the salvation, the enrichment, the perfect hap- piness of His children. God is not the au- thor of pain. He takes no delight in tears. The blessed Saviour ceases not in His age-long effort to make the sons of earth happy. The law of the universe, the design of everything is happiness. Happi- ness is everywhere. Wander in the woods, walk in the meadow, meander by the stream, rest in the valley and climb to the hilitop, and in everything and everywhere you will find happiness. It springs up like a well of life, filling the air with its music, flooding the earth with its joys. How much more does our heavenly Father desire you, His children, to be happy. The only condition of happiness is to be good. “Blessed are the poor in heart, for they ghall see God.” Holiness of life maketh rich and tendeth not to poverty. To the untutored, this looks like an im- possible thing, and many ask: Father and the beautiful. "I do this?’ Easy enough. .All that is needed is the dispositien, and the effort. Eirst of all, look at-yeur bank account. Did you know you had a bank account? Well, you have. - See, please, what stands to your credit, the gift of another. These assets are ours because we live in the twentieth century, and because we are Anglo-Saxons. “All things are yours. Whether Paul or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; and ye are Christ's and Christ is God’s.” That is a wonder- ful statement. It places us under tremen- dous obligation. What an incentive to attempt something, what an inspiration to noble achievement. The great personalities of history—Paul, Cephas, Anollos. Past, present, future. The world, God and Christ, all yours, to make the goal and win. Then there can be no excuse for failure. A practical question. which meets us is, “How may I utilize these many gifts of God for my own advancement and better- ment?’ The answer is, “By right appro- priation.” Just as the parched earth drinks in the gentle rain drops, making the grass to grow; just as the bee sips the honey from tne fragrant flower, so we must learn to appropriate the good in every- thing, to our own growth and refinement. Life everywhere is sustained by appropriat- ing the outward to itself. The great in- onan which teach and bless the world to-day are great.and capable because of this appropriation of knowledge. To the good one the best of two worlds. It was once thought that the Christian’s world was exceedingly limited. The Bible, hymnal, a long sermon and a dreary prayer meeting were all that the Christian had any right to. Anything else would chill his fervor and narrow his vision and tarnish his soul. Thank God, that day is so far behind us. To-day we know that everything within reach and everything within sight is ours, if we love God, to be used in the advancement and enrichment of our lives. : Look at it a moment. Take an inventory. Try to itemize the blessings of the good God. Explore the world of art, the product of the centuries, it is ours, for God made ‘What. a store house of les- “sons and inspirations and soul delights are the "art galleries of the world! The ‘win- dows in’ cathedrals and churches have for ages been telling the story of Christ. “The Nativity,” by Burne-Jones, is the pride of England; “The Transfiguration,” by Raph- ael, the glory of Italy. These are but sam- ples of the beautiful in art, which are ours for the delight and culture of the soul. All sciences and literatures belong to us, for God is the Author of all truth. Shakes peare and Booth and De Reszke, these and the host of éthers like them; are ours to charm away our cares and rest:of mind. The marketplace crowded with.the yield of the field, the wealth of the mine, the prod- uct of the factory, is ours, for God is immi- nent in nature and industry and human skill. The advance in surgery and medi- cine, the limitless pleasures in travel—all this is ours, available and usable assets to make life rich and happy and good. All this is the product of the past, the gift of the good &od. Its presence should shame badness out of existence. How can people be bad when they think: of the goodness of God? What are we doing with Life’s assets? They are the raw materials out of which we may weave the soul’s ser- aphic robe; they are the steps by which we ascend to the home of perfect day. They are to our spirits what air and dew and sunlight are to the seed. Plants grow by appropriating things ab extra to their use; souls grow by doing the same way. The business of life is to convert all these forces and gifts into life and character. The soul: must drink in its full of God and rise to the perfect life in the endless day beyond the stars. What we need to know to-day is the proper use of things. That means study, the exercise of the mind. thers have studied and thought for us. The result is the locomotive, carrying us sixty miles an hour; the electric wire, by which we talk to a friend 1000 miles away. If wealth is to benefit the owner of it, he must use it and use it wisely. So, if we are to feel the stimulus and reap the benefit of the accumulations of the ages, as life's assets; if these are to answer their need, in the making of a man—we must study and think and pray. In the right use of these is. the making of a holy character. : All that has been said is, we believe, true. But it is not the whole truth. We must>go a step further.” Man has’ heart conditions and soul needs, which neither nature, nor science, nor Scripture, can meet. Man needs a°God. God is .every- where. God. is in the sunlight: which bathes us every day with its warmth and glory. He is in the bread which we eat; He is in the music which comes floating through the air, making the heart to dance for joy. But this Ged is too vague, too vast, too -imperscnal. Can this God.:be personalized? It is God's eternal purpose to adapt Himself to the limitations and needs of His children. We do not think of God merely as Power, or Majesty, or Holiness. God is Love. Love is the win- ning thing. Love conquers. Love is bent on drawing home to the Father’s heart all His wayward and lost ones. The human heart cries for God. What kind of a God? Not the God of the atheist, not the God of the Deist, not the God. of the narrow theologian, but the Eternal God. And Jesus Christ has revealed Him to the world. This Jesus Christ and this God are ours. lhis completes the list. There is nothing more that can be added. Flow- ers, pictures, music, ships, railroads, tele- phones, philosophy, science, religion, hu- man fellowships, friendships, loves, plus God and Christ. All are yours. Don’t complain of poverty any more; never be afraid of failure; never again say “I can’t.” Goodness does not mean exemption from the common ills of life. Every life has its burdens, every heart has its own secret sorrow. We would not minimize the cares which are inevitable. They are not joy- ous, but grievous. Many tears are shed in the private chamber. Many feet are tread- ing lonely paths. And blessed be God, our heavenly Father knows it all. The Christ, the Saviour of Men, is touched with the feelings of our infirmities. All the love of the Deity, all the power of the Almighty, all the compassion of the Lover of Souls, is for us. Look up, then. Be of good cheer. ’Tis better further on. In com- pany with the Saviour, nothing can harm us. The path of the good is as the shining light, shining more and more unto the perfect day. “Loose me from earth’s enclosure, from the sun’s ® Contracted circle sef my heart at large; Eliminate my spirit, give it range Through provinces of thought yet unex- plored; Teach me, by this stupendous scaffolding, Creation’s golden steps, to climb to Thee.” No Triumphal Entry. It is ‘the irony of history that Christ's entry into Palestine is so often misinter- preted. To me there is hardly more bit- ter irony in the life of Jesus than to speak of His triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The multitude came out to meet Him, threw their sarments and palm branches in front of Him, and the people sang. But what of the central figure? He saw the great city, and wept over it.

QUAINT LITTLE MANTLES. A quaint fashion which is being at- tempted is that of little mantles of the gown material to wear with street and carriage dresses. One sees a few at every opening. Many taffeta gowns are made with mantles, this material seeming to be especially appropriate for them. They are trimmed with ruch- ings and pleated frills, and some, in voile or similar materials, are quite elaborately decorated with lace and embroidery. Scarfs of one kind or an- other are in the greatest favor. Stoles of chiffon, made in elaborate shirrings and quillings, and trimmed with chif- fon shower bouquets—there does not seem to be any better way to describe then? — are seen everywhere. In all the ‘Paris fashion plates the models are wearing lace and chiffon scarfs with evening and house gowns, while mantles and scarfs accompany most of the street gowns. All this goes with the long shoulders and full skirts of the 60s. No one would be surprised if shawls came back. MAKE HOME ATTRACTIVE. Why do boys and girls go away trom home for their amusement? The truth is, if a boy or girl goes away from home six or seven nights in a week somebody is to blame. Some place is more attractive than home. If the children enjoy home they will wish to stay there. Perhaps father wants to read the paper and won't en- dure the games and laughter. Is the paper of more:*consequence than his children’s safety? Then let him not complain if he finds his sons in work- houses. Are mother’s nerves so un- strung by household cares that a sud- den bump “sets her on edge?’ Can she not teach herself endurance? Then she must. not mourn if she drives her daughters to the streets. .It,is only in the evening that the family circle can be complete and when every one is at home, home should. be an, immense playground. No father can hold his son’s regard unless to share in his sports. No mother can be her daughter’s confi- dant unless she listens eagerly to the tales of mischief and romance. It is such an easy thing to lose the confi- dence of the growing child; there are So many curious ears among the friends and playmates longing to lis- ten. Keep the boys and girls at home. Give them a good time there. Hold them close to the heart of the family circle. Give of the best that life af- fords to the home gatherings. Give your smiles and sympathy and try to charm and entertain them.—Buffalo Evening eNews. A COUNTESS’ ROMANCE. London Truth tells how the Countess of Waldersee first met her first hus- band, Prince Frederick of Schleswig- Holstein-Augustenburg and so forth, in 1864, at one of those amusing dances of the Empress Eugenie. The Empress got them up to be able to invite Seces- sionist beauties, who at them would be in no danger of running against North- erners. She and the Slidellis, Masons, and McGruders found a society god- mother in a New Orleans lady of con- siderable standing at Court, the Mar- quise de Chasseloup - Laubat, whose husband held the Marine Portfolio. Prince Irederick, who had come to Paris to explain to the Emperor the Schleswig-Holstein tangle, received an invitation to one of the dances, and felt so dazzled at the show of youth, beauty, innocence, and free yet mai- denly manners that he forgot all about his mission. He at first fell in love with all the Southern belles, but as France is not Turkey, he had to make a choice, and he chose Miss Esther Lee, as, it seemed to him, the flower of the bevy, proposed to her, and had the hap- piness after some delay to be accept- ed. She had attained the “sensible” age of twenty-seven. Prince Freder- ick laid his case of a love-stricken el- derly Prince before the Emperor Franz Joseph, and stated that his Imperial Majesty would greatly facilitate his suit if he promised to confer with Miss Lee, in the event of her accepting him, the title of Princess of Noer, Noer be- ing a village in Schleswig. Francis Joseph sympathized with Frederick, as he has since done with divers members of his own family under like circum- The courtship began in the early spring of 1864, and the wedding Prince Frederick died at Baireuth in 1865, and the widow, still beautiful and interesting, married Count Waldersee at Leutenbach, in Wurtemberg, on April 14, 1874, - ii Bova Queen Victoria the same year.

At a recent fashionable wedding in London the hats of the bridesmaids were trimmed with’ natural flowers, and it is predicted that the style will be popular next summer. In. Dutch Guina the women carry upon their persons all their family savings in the shape of heavy brace- lets, anklets, necklaces and even crowns of gold and silver. : The Japanese woman does not blacken her teéth under any mistaken idea that it makes her attractive. She does it to make herself. unattractive. Her husband is supposed to know her value. . Recenqtly an old woman at Clinchy, France, was told that she had won $20,000 in a Spanish lottery. Later she found that she had been hoaxed, and the shock of the disappointment killed her instantly. . The oldest love-letter in the world is in the British Museum. It is a proposal of marriage for the hand of an Egyp- tian princess and it was made 3500 years ago. It is in the form of an in- scribed. brick. ‘ A piece of lard the size of an egz reamed with sugar and divided into three parts and taken at intervals of twenty minutes will relieve any at- tack of cramps that has not progressed to the fatal point. : The headdress and coral jewelry of a Dutch woman are usually heirlooms and vary greatlyy according to the riches of the family. The gold fasten- ing of the coral necklace also may be, anything from a very small plain clasp to one the size of a brooch covered with expensive filigree work, and when it is large enough to satisfy the pride of the owner it is always worn in front. One or all of these pieces of jewelry form a part of every girl's dot, while the remainder of it among the farming people of the north consists of cows and sheep. It is most amusing to hear it said of a young woman who is about to marry: ' “She-has an excellent dot; fifty cows and sheep, a good-headband and ornaments and such beautiful coral necklace and earrings.” The pelerine collar of the summer is to, be slightly draped in front. Dark muslins will be worn more this summer than in many seasons past. Narrow flat gold braid run through beading is an effective trimming to brighten a dark frock. Shepherd's plaid checks in voile are among the smartest materials for the morning frock of wool. Crush belts of Japanese embroidered silk, with borders, straps and buckles of kid, are among the novelties. Small taffeta leaves applique in gar- lands form the only trimming for an imported blouse of dyed Chantilly lace. The faded roses, which are a late Paris fad, are shown upon the imported millinery, but have not yet had enthu- siastic acceptance here. tadium has appeared among the col- ors. Radium *silk is a gleaming iri- descent stuff, running through the shadings of opal, palest pink and mauve and white. Blue roses in an odd faded hue which, in the hands of an artist com- bine effectively with certain American Beauty and pink shadings, are another abnormal notion having the stamp of Parisian approval. Round flat ornaments made by run- ning narrow soutache braid round and round in snail shell fashion are much in evidence. Frequently gold braid is used for the centre of the ornament, but the outer circles match the frock material. Chiffon is now tucked and pleated in a manner that suggests the old-fash- ioned plaid muslins that we wore for aprons as little girls. The stripes of the muslin are replaced in the more costly fabric by veritable tuckings and pleatings, but the quaint cross-bar ef- fect is the same. Built up over white or colored slip, this goods makes an exquisite and unusual frock. The hand-embroidered linen turn- overs are the most attractive and the ones most worn on dress occasions. They are not stiff, as one might imag- ine ,the embroidery being an openwork, spiderlike web attachment—usually in some handsome point design—to the finest sheer linen heading. These sheer linen and mull turnovers, richly dec- orated in hand-made designs, are in many cases quite expensive and ap- took place in Paris on November 3 of | propriate for any occasion.
