The habit of holding“the good will, kindly attitude of mind toward every- body has a powerful influence upon the character. It lifts the mind above petty jealousies and meannesses; it enriches and enlarges the whole life. Wherever we meet people, no mat- ter if they are strangers, we feel cer- tain kinship with and friendliness for them, greatest interest in them, if we have formed the good will habit, gays O. S. Marden in Success. We feel that if we only had the opportun- ity of knowing them, we should like them. In other words, the kindly = habit, the good will habit makes us feel more sympathy for everybody. And if we radiate this helpful, friendly feeling, others will reflect it back to us, Should Raise a Family. Unless the average woman is a good wife and good mother, unless she bears a sufficient number of chil- dren so that the race shall increase and not decrease, unless she brings up these children sound in soul and mind and body—unless this is true of the average woman, no brilliancy of genius, no material prospertiy, no tri- -umphs of science and industry will avail to save the race from ruin and death, says President Roosevelt in Leslie’s Weekly. The mother is the one supreme asset of national life; she is more important by far than the successful statesman or business man or artist or scientist. I abhor and condemn the man who fails to | recognize all his obligations to the woman who does her duty. But the woman who shirks her duty as wife and mother is just as heartily to be condemned. We despise her as we despise and condemn the soldier who flinches in battle. A good woman who does full duty is sacred in our eyes, exactly as the brave and patri- otic soldier is to be honored above all other men. But the woman who, whether from cowardice, from selfish- ness, from having a false and vacu- ous ideal, shirks her duty as wife and mother earns the right to our con- tempt, just as the man who, from any motive, fears to do his duty in battle when the country calls him. No Place for the Untrained. The young lady who comes to New York in the same- spirit that took Dick Whittington to London, the same gpirit in which young men have been pouring into the great centres of the world from time immemorial, labors under many disadvantagés, not the least of which is the fact that in nine cases out of ten she has not been brought up to earn. her living; for New York is no place for the idle young woman whe has no thorough knowledge of anything, though it of- fers infinite possibilities to those who ‘have integrity and industry and have _ been at pains to fit themselves for the struggle. for existence, says James E. Ford in Success. But the custom of having the daugh- ter as well as the sons of a moderate- ly well-to-do family go out into the world in search of a livelihood is of such recent origin that parents and elders have not yet~learned to take it as a matter of course; and I have no doubt that at this very moment thou- sands of mothers, aunts and grand- mothers are wearing their hearts out with anxiety over the pet of the fam- ily, who, having absorbed some of the modern spirit at the college to which she was. sent to study botany, moral philosophy, and the folklore of Green- land, has calmly announced Ler inten- tion of going to New York to gain her bread, perhaps in cempany with a college mate whose views of life are similar to her own. Mrs. Hill's Offenses. One of the objections to the ap- pointment of David Jayne Hill as am- bassador to Berlin, whispered softly at the time that Charlemagne Tower =a 3 al Realm JB wired the state department that the emperor was in doubt) was that: Mrs. Hill’ was “too domestic” to shine in the society of the German capital. It was recalled that she did her own marketing when she lived in Washing- ton, and even rode a‘ bicycle. ‘Ils was awful! But the emperor and Washington society generously over- looked it, for the apointment was promptly confirmed. Now it appears that Mrs. Roosevelt sometimes car- ries a market basket. It is related in New Orleans that one morning she “rose early aboard the Mayflower, put on her hat, slipped into her walking coat, and went ashore to do the mar- keting for the ship’s larder. She car- ried a big hamper and filled it with green goods and fresh sea food pur- chased from the provision dealers in the French quarter. There ‘was not a trace of shame in her face. She lugged the load of edibles back to the vessel, and rejoiced in the service she was able to perform. Incidental- ly, -she had a better appetite for breakfast.” - It is not surprising that Mrs. Roosevelt “put on her hat,” nor even that she slipped “into her walk- ing coat;” it ought not to be surpris- ing in America that any woman does her own marketing. Nobody else could do it half so well. - We venture that the breakfast on board the May- flower was relished without any thought that the president’s wife had done a menial chore.—Indianapolis News, ’ Th An Original Suffragette. Mrs. de Wolte, whose passing’ was recorded among recent mortalities, was one of the original suffragettes. Though for many years I have not noted her name in connection with the woman suffrage movement here, back in the seventies she was one of the officers - of the association ~and ranked very little below Lucy Stone Blackwell or Susan B. Anthony. About the middle sixties Mrs. de Wolfe adopted a eostume to show her inde- pendence of feminine frivols. It was a modification of trousers, not exactly bloomers, but something on the same pattern. When she walked abroad there was usually a string of curious lads at her heels, but they did not dare do more than furtively jeer, for Dr. De Wolfe, the suffragette’s hus- band, was always at hand to defend his wife from harsh criticism. He carried a.heavy cane with which he belabored those who on occasions mo- lested her in the ‘streets. About 1872 Mrs. de Wolfe lived in the Mission, where there are still a few “oldest inhabitants” who remem- ber her and her daughter, then a lit- tle girl about 12. From one of these I learn that the advocate of woman’s rights had nothing masculine in her manner, but was quiet, modest of de- meanor and invariably well bred, her only peculiarity being her garb, which drew the jests of the hoodlum ele- ment. . At that time she wore trous- ers reaching her ankles, a short skirt ending at the calf of the leg or a trifle below, a white shirtwaist and a jacket approximating our present day Eton. Skirt, jacket and trousers were of the same material, cashmere, serge or me- rino, and trimmed according to the prevailing mode in bands of guimp or velvet. Her hair was cut short and parted at the side. Later on probably to please her daughter, she discarded this outre costume. “Apart from the breeches,” says the oldest inhabitant, “the only thing at all mannish I ever noticed about Mrs. de Wolfe was that she crossed her legs when she sat down, which in those days was going pretty far.’— San Francisco Call. Fashion Notes. A short woman with a very sleeve loses part of her height. The buckles on low shoes are nearly all round and generally of metal rath- er than leather-covered. The draped and clinging skirt re- quires a draped or swathed bodice, whether separate or in one, with it.

The tailored linen waists _ with yokes are seen oftener among the models designed particularly for the sperts.—Riding and tennis. The craze for a touch of color is seen in shoes. One pair of high shoes noticed had -eray and white striped uppers with white buttons and patent leather vamps. The lace sleeves and chemisette of a pongee dress are dye to exactly match the pongee, the only contrast- ing note being the narrow braid that finishes the edges everywhere. A pretty little pair of black patent leather slippers have red heels, a long red tongue and a red band at the top. Heavily embroidered tunics do not appeal to the average woman. 'I'wo tones of the same color, that one can scarcely tell where one stops and the other starts, are very frequently seen on the new hats, and some exquisite shadings are the re- sult. SO } KING MANUPL II. OF i PORTUGAL. Manuel, second son of the late King Carlos I. of Portugal, was born November 15, 1889, year, immediately after the assassination of his father and brother, continues the dynasty of Braganza, which dates from the teenth century. His mother, Queen Maria Amalia, was a daughter of Philip, Duke of Orleans, Count of Paris. He ascended the throne on February 1 of the present He d of the four- rench princess, The young King is very popular, and has begun his reign with evidences of a manly and progressive spirit.—American Review of Reviews, AN EASILY MADE MICROMETER, By Dr. Thomas R. Baker, Rollins Col- lege, Florida.. It often become necessary for the experimenter or practical worker to find the thickness of material so thin, or inconventient to measure, that the thickness cannot be found by means of a foot-rule, or other common meas- uring device. A simple, fairly ac- curate, and easily made apparatus of the micrometer form may be con- structed as follows: Get a common iron or brass bolt about one-fourth of an inch in diam- eter, and about two and one-half inches long, with as fine a thread as possible, and the thread cut to within a short distance of the head of the bolt. A bolt with a cut in the head for a screw-driver should be used. Clamp together two blocks of wood with square corners about one inch wide, three-fourths of an inch thick, and two and one-half inches long, A Home-Made Micrometer. - with their narrower faces in contact (the width of the clamped blocks be- ing two inches), and bore a onoJ- fourth inch hole through the centre of the blocks in the two-inch direc- tion. Now remove the clamp, and let the nut of the bolt into one of the blocks so that its hole will be con- tinuous with the hole in the wood, then glue the blocks together with the nut between them. Cut out a piece from the block combination, leaving it shaped somewhat like a bench, and glue the bottoms of the legs to a piece of thin board about two and one-half inches square for a support. Solder one end of a stiff wire about two inches iong to the head of the bolt at right angles to the shaft, and fix a disk of heavy pasteboard with a radius equal to the length of the wire, and with its cir- cumference graduated into equal _spaces, to serve in measuring revolu- tions and parts of revolutions of the end of the wire, to the top of the bench; put the bolt in the hole, screw- ing it through the nut, and the con- struction is complete. : The base is improved for the meas- uring work by gluing to the central section of it, covering the place where the end of the bolt meets it, a small piece of stiff metal; and it is con- venient to have the graduated disk capable of rotating, so that its zero line may be made to coincide with the wire. : Find the number of threads of the gcrew to the inch by placing the bolt on a measuring rule, and counting the threads in an inch or half an inch of its length. The bolt in making one revolution will descend a distance equal to the distance between the threads. To use the apparatus, put the ob- tject whose thickness is to be meas- ured on the:.base under the bolt, and screw the bolt down until its end just touches the object, then remove the object, and screw the bolt down until its end just touches the base, care- fully noting while d4éIng so the dis- tance that the end of the wire moves over the scale, The part of 8 rota- tion of the bolt, or the number of rotations with any additional parts of a rotation added, divided by the num- ber of threads to the inch, will be the thickness of the object, Quite accurate measurements may be made with this instrument, and in the ab- gence of the expensive micrometer, it serves a very useful purpose, I have used it in the beginning classes in electricity for measuring the diam- eter of wire, for finding the numbers of wires from reference tables, and for making various other measure- ments.—From the Scientific Amer- ican. Law and Hoosier Justice. Speaking of thé perversity of coun- try ‘‘squires’’ State Senator John S. Fisher, chairman of the Pennsylvania Capitol Investigation Commission, told this story recently: ‘‘We have one old codger out in In- diana County who fears neither law- yer or court. Not long ago Dick Wil- son had a case before the ‘squire,’ and knowing his man he went to the office fortified with a dozen or more Supreme Court decisions. “Wilson argued his case, cited sev- eral opinions and finally remarked: ‘Squire, I have here some decisions by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania which I shall read.’ “Wilson finished one decision when the justice interrupted saying: ‘“ ‘Mr. Wilson, I reckon you’ve read enough. Those Supreme Court decis- ions are all right so far as they go, but if the Supreme Court has not al- ready reversed itself I have no doubt that it will do so in the near future. Judgment is therefore given against your client.” ” — Philadelphia Public Ledger. AUSTRIA'S HEIR. ARCHDUKE FRANZ FERDINAND OF AUSTRIA AND FAMILY. The Oldest of Professions.

Y.—Preaching on the above theme at the Irving Square ITesbyterian Church, the Rev. Ira W. Henderson, pastor, took as his text Jno. 20:22: “Receive ye the Holy Spirit.” He said: “The reception of the Holy Spirit in the inner sanctuary of the human heart is the condition of entrance into the kingdom of God. The possibility of the immediate and present incom- ing and welcoming of the Spirit is reason enough for us to believe that the kingdom begins in this life and at once, if you will. The-fact that the coming of the Spirit into the heart is contemporaneous with the entrance of the individual into the privileges of :{ divine citizenship is sufficient demodn- | stration that spirituality is the key to, .{and the essence of, and the first re- quirement of admission to the king- dom. The one and only way to par- ticipate in the joys and blessings of the Spirit filled life is to cease from hardness of heart, and from intellec- tual self-glorification and self-trust, and to become as little ehildren in humility sand in receptivity to truth. Spirituality and divine citizenship are one and the same thing. Growth in spirituality is the test of efficient citizenship. The man who has stopped depending upon his own strength, his own wisdom, and has opened his eyes and ears and mind and heart to the influences and manifestations of the Spirit is ready to receive, and in all conscience will get, the papers and rights of a citizen of the kingdom of the God of Jesus Christ. And that soul only is being sanctified unto God- likeness and fashioned into the image of Jesus Christ who is growing daily, hourly, momently, in the gifts and graces of the spiritual life. + To be spiritual is to become childlike. To attain spiritual development is the aim and the calling®of those who are Christ’s. The Holy Spirit, the personal, puri- fying, propelling presence of God in the life of man, is the means unto the spiritualizing of human natures according to the divine decrees. The entrance of the Spirit means death to sin. The yielding of self to the gentle ministrations of the Holy Ghost is the first step toward indi- vidual transformation. The com- munion of the spirit of man with the Spirit of God brings peace, content- ment, rest and a wisdom and energy which are more than sufficient to meet the demands and the opposition of the world. © No mere impersonal, unreal, un- attainable something is this Spirit which Christ bade His disciples re- ceive, and of which at a later time they received a fuller measure. It is the real, helpful, personal presence of God in the life. The spirit of man is a prey to all sin save the Spirit of God as a constructive, controlling force comes in. The transfusion of the soul with the vitality of the Spirit fills the dying heart of man with life. There are three characteristics of the Holy Spirit to which I wish to direct your thought. The Holy Spirit is a constant presence in the life of the world, a controlling energy, a soul satisfying comforter. The Holy Spirit is a constant pres- ence and factor in the life of the world. The entire list of graces and gifts and blessings which are ours at the hands of our Heavenly Father are constant. The. gift of the Spirit is no exception to the rule. When God promises to men the presence and uplift of the Holy Spirit upon the fulfilment of certain conditions upon their part He means just what He says... Our Father is not fickle or changeable or inconstant. He is the Fsame to-day, yesterday and forever. And His Spirit, which is His own real, personal presence in the hearts of men, is as constant as all else with which He has anything to do. When we were far away from duty and were serving sin the Spirit of the living God was knocking ever at our hearts. And though we hated ourselves and the depth of our own iniquity, though the world may have despised us and forsaken us, though everything in life may have held us as “unclean” with the leprosy of sin, still the Spirit of our living, loving Father stood wait- ing to reveal to us the wealth and beauty of the love of God and to re- vive our dying souls with the fullness of power unto eternal life. The constancy of the Spirit as a factor in life is nowhere better illus- trated than in the experience of Christian men who have given themselves up, in less or greater measure, to His dominion. What a joy, what a comfort, what a stay it is to know that whenever and whereso- ever we may turn to the Spirit for the portion of refreshment that our souls so sorely need we shall always find Him ready to supply our wants. There is no sense and no reason in much of our constant petition to God to infill us with His Spirit The in- fluences of types of thought and of prayer are hardly escapable. We have grown so accustomed to ask God to fill us with His Spirit jof power. But I submit, would ‘we not pray better and more to the point if we thanked .our Father -for the favors of His love and acknowledged to Him in person, what He already knows, our shortcomings and our lack of appropriation of the gift of His Spirit. The showers of spiritual blessings are forever falling free, full and sufficient upon human souls everywhere. Our prayers should not be of petition that God may give us showers, but rather of thanksgiving for past, present and future blessings and of dedication of self, through the riches of His grace and powers to a finer and more fruitful life for Him. The presence and influence of the Holy Spirit in the life of the world is a constant gratuity. If you are not the deeply grounded s itual man that you should be the with the Spirit, of wi abundance unto all men’s n but with you who have reftu wealth of s ‘itual power which, ur der God, might be yours if you wou Everywhere and continually the Sj “No, sir,” said the candid youth. “I appear to be, but I am really prac- ticing economy.” — Youth's Com- panion, of the Lord is active. He kno ever at the door of the sinner’s heart. He is forever pouring out the inexe baustible waters of spiritual life upon the parched souls of men. But neither God nor His Spirit can fill an in- verted cup. The showers of blessings can not flood a closed heart. Then, too, the Holy Spirit is a con- trolling energy in the life of the man who is susceptible to His influ- ence. Christ tells us that His Spirit shall lead us unto all truth; that He shall be our Guide, our Teacher and our Helper. The catalog of the activ- ities of the Spirit in the life of man is strengthening and sustaining. BY Him we are led into the entirety of divine self-revelation and of eternal truth. Under the guidance of the Spirit of the living God we may pro- gress from truth to truth as the won- ders of God’s universe are revealed to ug and the application of everlast- ing verities brought home to our hearts. May no man flinch to follow the Spirit whithersoever He may di- tect. As Dante went through hell and heaven and the intermediate re- gions of the world beyond, and told in allegory and song the wonders that he witnessed and the sights he saw, so may we, with the Spirit as our Guide, be given grace to look truth squarely in the face and portray.it faithfully to the world. And if we, as Dante, or beyond him Christ, shall be hounded by those who fear the light of truth we shall yet be certain that the truth, the truth alone, is worth men’s fealty and shall make them free. . The Spirit as the Comforter ap- peals to the heart of-every Christian. Who of us does not joy in the fact that above us and within us is this comforting Spirit of the Lord our God? The human heart cries out for comfort when distress and danger and destruction come upon it. When our hearts are bowed in anguish and our souls are crushed with grief, when every human tie is severed and no mortal hand may avail to dispel our utter darkness, then the Spirit of the loving Father strengthens, suse tains, sanctifies the soul. “Save .me, O God, for the waters are come into my soul,” we cry out with the Psalmist. In the Judah wilderness of the world our souls thirst for Him, our fiesh longs for Him as in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is. Then the Spirit comes, and with His entrance the live springs of refreshe ment minister to our souls’ deep need. The Spirit as the Comforter is God’ in His presence ministering to the humanest of mortal needs. No man can live happily without Him. No man can weather the trials of tribula- tion and the temptations of prosper= ity without Him. Lending the sore rowing light hearts He keeps the suc- cessful level headed. The sense of the constant presence of the Spirit of God in the individual and world life is the certain indica- tion of a true religious experience. No man who lives near to God is with= out it. It is elemental in Christian experience. And this consciousness of God’s abiding and guiding is the mainstay of the soul. Without -it progress is impossible in the truest sense. With it we may fight with fear lessness, with hope wunquenchable, against principalities and powers, @gainst the .wickednesses of high places and the sins of mighty men. For the abiding Spirit of the living God is the controlling energy in the life of humanity. Bad men may de- feat Him temporarily; evil policies may frustrate His purposes and hurl themselves against His plans; but the Spirit of God is unconquerable. He is the controlling, the overruling en- ergy of the world. In this Spirit we should find our strength. From Him we should derive the comfort of our souls. Let not your heart be troubled. Come what may, be the storms of life what they will, God will not leave us comfortless. He will not leave us orphans. He is with us. He will abide with every soul who bids Him enter. He will constantly refresh us all. He will give us courage and be our strength. He will suffuse us. He will comfort us. And He does. Conscience Notan Information Bureau If conscience is a safe guide to what is right and wrong then the Bible is not needed. There is no half-way ground here, for # guide that needs guidance is no guide at all. And as a matter of fact, con- science is not a guide, and because so many souls mistakenly think it is, confused and wandering errors in the pathway of life are constantly made. Conscience is a monitor. It prompts and prods; it urges “Do what you know to be right; do not do what you know to be wrong.” But it does not instruct us in what is right and what is wrong; it is not a bureau of -in- formation. That instruction we re- ceive from God in many different ways, of which the Bible and the training of parents and teachers are some. Therefore it will not do to settle back in the easy assurance that we have a safe guide in conscience. We have a tremendous responsibility; to learn, from sources outside of oure selves, what is our duty, and those sources are always available when we really seek them.—Sunday-School Times. i —————— Nature Presses Toward Fruitage. Ripe fruit, which is the immutable promise and purpose of God, is the end of a patient process. After a long and trying pause young spring, like a hope of God, returns; but the end is not yet. It is the season of new, breath, new motion and new birth. Everything is astir under the new, universal excitement. The earth, like a bride, puts on her beautiful attire. She blooms and sings. But bloom and songs are not the end. By her beauty music she announces the ex=- quisite end toward which she is mov- ing. She will not pause until she has produced her fruit, nor then until her fruit is full-orbed and mellow. She reckons nothing less than ripe fruit to be her fitting crown. Nothing less will satisfy God. Thou crownest the vear with Thy goodness.—John Puls- ford.
