How to Get Thin.
When one has just begun to ac-
quire superfluous flesh complete ab-
stinence from sweets and starches, a
moderate amount of food at all
times, and daily exercise either in-
doors or out, will effect a cure. The
effort, however, must be persistent,
and the watchfulness must continue
even after the desired weight has
been reached. Spasmodic efforts
either at diet or exercise will be ab-
polutely without lasting results.
When one’s weight has crept far
beyond the normal amount the re-
straint in diet must be more stren-
uous and the exercise more violent.—

Education in Table-Talk.
It is surprising to find young peo-
ple whose parents are brilliant or at
least fluent talkers, among the silent,
bashful ones who have no gift at all
in conversing. The family dinner
should always be a feast of good
cheer, to which each member of the
family brings the best story, the
choicest bit of wit he has chanced
upon during the day.
This is the place where children
are taught first correct table man-
ners, and then as they grow up, are
trained in the art of conversation.
From the talk of their elders they
will learn a great deal. The mother
could enjoy devoting the whole time
to conversing with the man of the
house, but this she will not do be-
cause it would be rude, and also be-
cause she realizes full well what a
priceless chance this is to teach by
practice ‘the art of polite conversa-'
tion. The bashful lad is encouraged
to contribute his share; by skillful
questions his mother may draw from
him some incident he has privately
told her. The more talkative chil-
dren must not be allowed to interrupt
the quiet fellow. By persevering care
he may, without being aware that
any “training” is going on, in this
most pleasant way learn to talk free-
ly and naturally.
The rude fashion, tolerated in some
families, of breaking in upon a story
with corrections and additions, needs

The Waist Line of 1909.
«Most of the gowns bear a general
resemblance to the late winter mod-
els. The novelties lie in the odd,
the queer trimming schemes, and in
a few really pretty new materials.
There is talk of the restoration of
‘the mormal waist line,’ ” says the
fashion editor of Harper's Bazar,
speaking with her usual authority,
“and I have seen two or three linen
models which lend a slight support to
a belief in it; but belated converts
to the higher one are showing a
great liking for it, so much so that
the high waist line fashion, for the
many at least, will surely be carried
along for several months, possibly
until the first autumn designs begin
to appear.”

Teaching Daughter. .
Every reasonable and wise mother
knows that it is never too early to
teach her little daughter to sew. Of
course, if, in her efforts at being a
seamstress, she is likely to ruin her
own clothes, then let her begin on
the tiny garments of her doll. She
will easily form the habit of mending
torn places in dolly’s clothes and re-
placing absent buttons.
With this experience’ it will ‘not be
jong before she will begin to take
an interest in her own clothes, and
so will not need to be warned that a
button is coming off or that the hem
ef her skirt is coming out. But, of
course, she could not begin to sew by
patching her own clothes nor by
mending intricate tears. First see
that she sews on buttons correctly,
and then let her do some basting.
In time she will learn to hem, and
very soon the wise mother will have
at hand a helpful little seamstress
who will take many cares from
her over-burdened shoulders:—New

Hats Like Flower Pots.
Restaurants of the fashionable
hotel: at tea time nowadays seem
veritable flower gardens, for the sud-
den mildness of the weather has
caused an outburst of spring hats of
all lines and descriptions. Perhaps
it would be nearer the truth to say
the hostelries resemble large green
houses of potted plants, the majority
of the hats worn certainly being of
an inverted flower pot shape. Flow-
ers for millinery trimming seem to
be the key-note of up-to-date fash-
ioms, as practically every feminine
head is buried in bright blossoms
mixed with dull green leaves. One
unusually effective hat seen in a Fifth
avenue tea place recently had a large
round crown entirely covered with
small pink moss rosebuds embedded
in soft moss. Another was composed
of green English ivy. with clusters of
tiny berries, while a third was built
with variegated pansies laid over deli-
cate lavender chiffon. One or two
old-fashioned poke bonnets also were
in evidence, and in their favor be it
said they are more than becoming,
always presenting an attractive frame
for a fresh young face. The velvet
ribbon ends, tied loosely beneath the
chin, give a charming finish to the
whole picture. A male observer, gaz-
ing curiously on the latest millinery
effects, was heard to remark he “sup-
posed all the women were covering
their heads with mansard roof affairs
no greater courtesy for the most ex-
alted guest than they habitually ac-
cord each other in their homes. Scold-
ing and gossip are both unknown at
such a board.
If the family contains other adults
besides the parents, there is even
greater care needed to prevent the
whole conversation being monopolized
by the adults. There is no danger
that young people thus carefully
trained will be too much in evidence
when guests are present. Do not al-
low girls and boys in their teens al-
ways to sit silent as sticks while
parents and maiden aunts do all the
talking, for they need to learn at this
home table to do their share. The

ways “keep the ball rolling” has ac-
quired an art of value in business as

The ‘Man Overboard”
Signal.
% % sk J %k Jk % Kk Kk kk kk kk kk
Dramatic incidents of the great
cruise, which has just come to the full
‘stop in Hampton Roads, are begin-
ning to be told at the banquet-board
and in the magazines and newspapers.
It will be remembered that several
times during the cruise the newspa-
pers reported a ‘man overboard’ ac-
cident, but did not stop to dwell on
the details. Just what it means to
stop sixteen battleships to search for
one lone seaman overboard, just how
the information is spread from ship
to ship, and the marvelous naval dis-
cipline which works like clockwork
in the emergency, is described by
Richard Barry in the Cosmopolitan.
As he tells it: .
- One night, shortly after the deck-
officers had gone on duty for the mid-
watch, the four white ardois lanterns
at the masthead of the Missouri were
turned on. They fluttered for about
half a minute. Then, with three
rapid pulsations of the red light at
the top, the signal went out and left
the fleet riding at before, like a trail
of titan's phosphorus through - the
tropic seas. “Zz” it was; and “Z”
means that a man is overboard.
Instantly on sixteen bridges was
sounded the cry “Man overboard!”
and from sixteen annunciators ‘Slow
speed” was rung to the engine-rooms.
The Ohio, which was just ahead, and
the Maine, which was just astern,
flashed their searchlights on the
waters about the troubled ship. From
the quarterdeck and from the fore-
castle of the Missouri copper life-
buoys were hurled into the sea; these
bore cans of calcium chlorid which
burst into flame as they touched the
water—beacons for the lost sailor.
There was a patter of bare feet on
the superstructure of the Missouri,
three or four sharp orders, a jangling
of tackle, and the life-boat, which
hangs ever ready on davits, swung
clear of the ship’s side, slipped into
the water, and was rowed swiftly into
the ever-widening white circle made
by the neighboring men-of-war. In
the stern-sheets of each life-boat are
always provisions for two days and
a cask of fresh water, for frequently
in a storm the big ship loses the little
one for many hours, and it is always
a question with the officer of the deck
‘I whether or not he should order away
the boat.
At the same time a similar boat
from the Kentucky, the eighth ship in
the line, had cast off. These two
boats, each manned by six oars and a
coxswain, rapidly came together into
the region of the life-buoys, which
could be seen like stars jeweling the
dusky sea.
The Missouri and the four ships in
her rear had veered out of column.
Presently the three ships ahead
veered, as well as the eight steaming
a mile away on the starboard beam.
For one man out of fifteen thousand
the whole fleet was stopping. It
seemed unfair; some strain of mercy,
foreign to the storied business of
war, was halting this world-tour.
Meanwhile, from all that two-mile
square expanse of quiet sea clatter
piled on spectacle, spectacle on won-
der, wonder on apprehension, appre-
hension on curiosity, and curiosity on
laughter. Now ensued the quickest
job an officer of the deck has to face.
When a man falls overboard that
officer has seven separate and distinct
things to do, all. at the same time;
seven, count ‘them.
(1) He flashes “Z” on the ardois;
(2) he throws his helm three points
and veers out of column; (3) he
stops his engines; (4) he fires a gun;
(5) he drops the life-buoys; (6) he
orders away the life-boat, and (7) he
'shifts “the white truck light, which
has previously announced his peace-
ful progress at standard speed, to a
red light, which says he has stopped
his engines, and then blinks it, which

From all over the fleet things were
doing. Three-pounders were barking
out rusty salute charges. Ardois Z’s
I were caracoling lusty staccato shrieks.
The creamy surge that had been
curving sea-shavings over direct bows
now churned under the propellors,
and flipped up foam into the search-
lights. The entire first squadron, ex-
cept the Connecticut, from the Kan-
sas down the line, had come to a stop.
Finally, the Connecticut, too,
slowed her engines and hove to. The
captain came from his bunk, climbed
to the bridge, and asked many ques-
tions that nobody could answer. The
admiral was roused from his emer-
gency-cabin and hurried out, lacking
a coat and in slippers, but not be-
fore he had paused to lift a stogy
from a drawer, had viciously bit off
the end and thrust it into his mouth.
Then he went about, from flag-lieu-
tenant to quartermaster, from quar-
termaster to yeoman, from yeoman to
signalman, asking nothing about the
accident, imploring only for a light.
And between each irrelevant question
he looked aft over the rail of his
bridge ‘upon a rare sight. * * *
There was no temper lost. Everyone
waited patiently. The life-saving
machinery was at work, as provided
in the regulations. There was no
need to worry; the incident would
take care of itself.
We lay there becalmed, fumbling
in the tepid dark. The searchlights
played their stark wonder over the
dancing nightcaps where the silly
waves tried to hide their loquacious
heads. Each described its twenty-de-
gree arc of the circle and then began
over again. The life-boats wandered
aimlessly. The coxswains blew their
whistles. The copper buoys were
gathered in. No answer, no sign of
life. The hope of a nation sat down

ing on, a long, long message.
A guffaw floated up from the deck.
Some jack who knew the code had
caught the message. Whispering,
chatter, laughter; a ripple of merri-
ment went over the ship. Then the
searchlights were shamefacedly
doused. We heard the angry slap of
the davit belt over the Missouri's
side. They were buckling up the
boat, and there was unmistakable
disgust in that slap.
From the Kentucky, far down the
line, came only blank and discreet
silence; she‘ was accepting her shame
quietly. Then an. orderly brought a
transcript of the Missouri’s message
to the admiral.
“Happy to report,” he read,. and
shrugged his shoulders. There is
seldom editorial comment in the re-
port of a junior officer. ‘Happy to

No, the Missouri was not repri-
manded. The admiral and his cap-
tains only laughed and turned in.—

A BLUNDERING BEGGAR.
The Flaw in His Story Pointed Out to
Him by the Critical Mr. Phlilthlilbly.
“Every man to his trade,” said
Mr. Phlilthlilbly. “It isn’t for the
carpenter to show the mason how to
lay brick, nor for the paperhanger
to show the blacksmith how to shoe
horses; let the shoemaker stick to
his last; and yet it might easily be
that any of us could give to men of
quite different callings pointers that
would be valuable to them.
“For illustration, I might not he
able to beg, but I could and did give
yesterday to a beggar a helpful hint.
He hadn’t had anything to eat for
four days, he said, and would I please
give him a nickel. Sad his mien
was, and shabby his apparel, and his
manner was dejected and mournful;
a beggar artistic and capable; but he
had overlooked one small detail;
there was wafted on his words as he
told his tale, the scent of that odorous
vegetable, the onion.
“Now, you know, this is a scent
that remains with us commonly not
more than thirty-six hours, and never
more than two days; and he had said
he hadn’t had anything to eat for
four, and I pointed out to him as
gently as I could this flaw in his
story, and he willingly corrected it;
he said he hadn’t meant four days,
he meant two, but he said he didr’t
get half enough then.
“So I gave him the desired nickel:
but I hope he took my hint to heart,
the significance of it being that a
man out begging on the hungry lay
should never eat onions.
“It is in so many ways and of
many things, a man may easily find
faults in things that he could not
himself produce. You remember the
familiar story of the tailor and the
sculptor? The tailor couldn’t sculp
at all; but he could point out to the
sculptor the error in the number of
buttons on .the sculptored coat. I
couldn’t beg, but I could point to the
beggar that trivial and yet in effect
important oversight.
“Every man to his trade, but if we
can’t all be creators of all things
we can all. be critics in a way.”’—

Fortifying an Extinct Volcano.
The United States Army is fortify-
ing the city of Honolulu, Hawaii, and
the extinct crater of the great Dia-
mond Head volcano is the centre of
the operations. This crater lies to
the east of the city, and its bowl,
some twenty acres in area, is enclosed
by abrupt cliffs from fifty to two hun-
dred feet in height. Through this
rim of cliffs, on the side farthest from
the ocean, our army engineers are
boring two large tunnels which lead
from the great twelve-inch mortar
batteries on the outer slope to the
great cavity within the old volcano.
Inside the mountain willgbe con=
structed ammunition magazines which
should be exceptionally secure from
chance of explosion. Erosion has de-
posited a layer of about six feet of
earth over the floor of the crater,
while a small lake forms at one side
during the greater part of the year.
Probably barracks for troops will be
built in this enclosure, and a garden
to furnish an adequate supply of veg-
etables for the soldiérs might easily
be planted in the fertile soil.
The strength of this novel scheme
of fortifications may be recognized
when we realize that the Diamond
Head stands between the batteries
and the sea, and would render effec-
tive battleship fire in an attack al-
most impossible. Since the mortars
simply drop their shells upon the ob-
ject of attack, the necessity of firing
over the mountain does not interfere
in the slightest with their accuracy.
Electric indicators situated at some
suitable point of observation will di-
rect the aiming of the mortars.—Har-
per's Weekly.

EXPOSITION.—I. Barnabas and
Saul called by the Holy Spirit, set
apart by amen, sent forth by men and
by the Holy Spirit, 1-4. The church
at Antioch had five ‘prophets and
teachers” worthy of mention by
name. This early Gentile church be-
came a fountain of light and life to
many other places. The Holy Ghost
spoke to them ‘‘as they ministered to
the Lord and fasted.” If we would
spend more time and strength in
ministering to the Lord and in fast-
ing, we would have more frequent
and clearer leadings of the Spirit. A
Spirit-filled mind rarely accompanies
an over-filled stomach. Greater sim-
plicity in our living would be condu-
cive to a clearer perception of the
mind of God. It is not said how the
Spirit spoke, whether in an audible
voice, or silently, in the inner re-
cesses of the heart, but He spoke in
an unmistakable way. It was no
vague, uncertain impulse such as
men sometimes call ‘‘the voice of the
Spirit.”” He is ready to speak to-day,
if we will supply the proper condi-
tions and listen. It was the Holy
Spirit’s work to call; it was man’s
work to recognize the call, and set
the called apart for the work. . Those
who ignore ordination by man are as
unscriptural as those who ignore a
call by God. But it was ‘for the
work whereunto’ the Spirit called
that they were to be set apart. Too
often we set men apart for a work
whereunto the Spirit never called
them. Spirit called men are a great
need of our day. We have far too
many men whom men have called;
or, worse yet, who have called them-
selves. Every step in that early
chufch was taken in prayer. It was
prayer to which men gave themselves
50 heartily that they withdrew them-
selves even from their necessary
food to pursue it (v. 3). The prompt-
ness with which this church obeyed
the Spirit’s command is worthy of
note. He had demanded the best
and they gave them up without a
murmur. They would have liked to
have kept Barnabas and Saul, but the
Spirit called them elsewhere, and
“they sent them away.”” But, while
they sent them back of it all they
were really ‘sent forth by the Holy
Ghost.” Wonderfully suggestive and
inspiring words these. With what
confidence a man can go forth when
he can confidently affirm, ‘“F have
been sent on the errand by the Holy
Ghost!” He may not know just
where he is going, or just what he is
to do, or just what awaits him. No
directions ‘seem to have been given as
to where they were to go; so they
made straight for the nearest port
and thence for the old home of Barna-
‘bas (ch. 4:36)

were true to their commission,
preached the word of God.” Many a
man has been sent forth by the Holy
Ghost who has afterward forgotten
what he was sent to preach; and so a
mission that was divine in its origin
has come to nothing in its execution.
If there was ever a day in which their
example needed imitation, it is to-
day, when men are preaching any-
thing and everything but ‘the word
of God” (comp. 1 Thess. 2:13; 2 Tim.
4:2). Opponents of the gospel, who
make great pretensions and do amaz-
ing things, are not at all new. One
need not be frightened because men
who make astonishing claims, and
who display extraordinary gifts, arise
to lead men astray. It was so in the
first days of the church’s history, and
vet the church went right on, in face
of this apparently dangerous opposi-
tion. The ‘“‘theosophists’” and ‘‘Chris-
tian Scientists’ of to-day are no more
dangerous than the Simons and Ely-
mas of early days. Spirit-filled men
were needed to oppose and confound
them then, and Spirit-filled men are
needed to oppose and confound them
now. The proconsul, Sergius Paulus,
gave good proof that he was indeed
“A man of understanding; ‘he
called unto him Barnabas and Saul,
and sought to hear the word of God.”
Whatever claims to prudence and
wisdom and.common sense a man
may make, he is not ‘“a man of un-
derstanding,” if he is not desirous ‘to
hear the word of God.” Elymas did
not give up without a fight. The
devil never does (2 Tim. 3-8). His
chief business is turning men aside
from the faith (v. 8; cf. Cor. 4:3, 4;
Luke 8:12). But the opposition of
Elymas for all his marvelous powers
were vain, for he had run up against
a Spirit-filled man. Paul had been
filled with the Holy Spirit soon after
his conversion (ch. 9:17). But now
a new emergency arises, and there is
a new filling for the new need. We
ought not to be content because we
have once, or fifty times, known what
it was to have the Spirit of God come
rushing upon us and taking posses-
sion of our minds,
words of wisdom, boldness and power
to utter. As each new emergency
arises we should cast ourselves upon
Him anew. Paul’s words are very se-
vere and very searching. They ex.
pose the depths of the infamy of Ely-
mas. Plainness and boldness of
speech is a characteristic of a Spirit.

A Lesson in Thrift.
Some time ago a Hungarian peasant
named Jan Hirsch traveled to Buda-
pest on business, and availed himself
of the opportunity to order 100 visit-
ing cards which” would astonish his
native village. When he returned
home he found, to his dismay, that
the cards bore the name of Vavisch
instead of Hirsch. This meant a clear
loss of 1s 6d unless he could make use
of the cards. He accordingly wrote a
petition on stamped paper, which
cost 1s, asking permission to alter his
name. His request was granted and
now he is Jan Vavisch, with 6d saved.

Yeet. To- day, after the genuine merits of
Allen's Foot-Ease have been told year after
year by grateful LSreons, it is indispens-
able to millions. It is cleanly, wholesom
healing and antiseptic and gives rest a
comfort to tired aching feet.

testimonials. Imitations pay the dealer a
larger profit, otherwise you would never
be offered a substitute for Allen’s Foot
Ease, the original foot powder. Ask for
Allen’s Foot-Ease, and see that you get it.
People Talk About
President Taft at Church.
Mr. Taft's arrival ia church is an in-
teresting ceremony to witness. At his
entrance the whole congregation rises
and remains standing until he is seat-
ed, and when the services are finished
it again stands until he has left the
church, the conduct of those present
being a willing and agreeable tribute
to his office.
The president, by the way, will have
at least one member of his cabinet
with him at All Souls’—Attorney Gen-
eral Wickerhsam, whose wife, when
she was a resident of Washington,
wag one of the leading factors of the
church and teacher in the Sunday
school. There are a number of other
notable people among the congregas
tion over which Dr. Pierce presides.
The late Senator Morrill of Vermont,
from the time he came here in the
late ’50’s until his death, was a wor-
shiper at All Souls’, and since his
death his son, James S. Morrill, and
his aunt, Miss Swan, occupy the pew
that was his for more than a quarter
of a century. Timothy Howe, who was
the postmaster general in President
Grant’s cabinet, was always a promin-
ent figure in the Unitarian congrega-
tion, and his place has been taken by
his daughter, Mrs. Enoch Totten, and
her children.—Washington Herald.
The Greatest Grafter.
People do not generally understand
why it is that no nation wants Castro
on its soil and why the whole civiliz-
ed world holds him in such derision.
It is because he is the greatest graft-
er of the age. That is the secret of
all his infirmities and the starting
point of all his quarrels. He gouged
every enterprise that ever started up
in Venezuela, whether it was native
or foreign born. He began as presi-
dent of Venezuela a poor man, and by
using the power that the office gave
him, in five or six years, he raked in
twelve million dollars. This graft was
really the beginning of his quarrels
with other nations. It was what dis-
turbed his friendly relations with this
country; also with Holland, Germany
and France. His ostracism is the
opinion of civilization of the grafter.
His selfishness destroved him. What
he has lost is more than he stole.—

FOOD FACTS
What an M. D. Learned.
A prominent Georgia physician
went through a food experience which
he makes public:
“It was my own experience that
first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts
food and I also know, from having
prescribed it to convalescents and
other weak patients, that the food is
a wonderful rebuilder and restorer
of nerve and brain tissue, as well as
muscle. It improves the digestion
and sick patients always gain just as
I did in strength and weight very rap-
idly.
“I was in such a low state that I
bad to give up my work entirely, and
went to the mountains of this state,
but two months there did not improve
me; in fact, I was not quite as well as
when T left home.
“My food did not sustain me and
it became plain that I must change.
Then I began to use Grape-Nuts food
and in two weeks I could walk a mile
without fatigue, and in five weeks
returned to my home and practice,
taking up hard work again. Since
that time I have felt as well and
strong as I ever did in my life.
“As a physician who seeks to help
all sufferers, I consider it a duty to
make these facts public.”
Trial 10 days on Grape-Nuts, when
the regular food does not seem to sus-
tain the body, will work miracles.
“There’s a Reason.”
