the children gain weight mostly in j
autumn and in the early part of De- ;
cember. From that time till the end i
of April there is scarcely any increase j
in weight. More remarkable still, j
there is a diminution till the end of \
summer.

How to Keep House.
With all the luxuries and pleasures of |
this life, its big enjoyments and its smaller
comforts, there is an offset or antithesis
which we have to contend with in the j
form of aches and pains. In some way and j
by some means every one has a touch of j
them in some form at some time. Trifling j
as some of them may be. the risk is that j
they will grow to something greater and j
rack the system with constant torture, j
There is nothing, therefore, of this kind j
that we have a right to trifle with. Taken )
in time, the worst forms of pains and |
aches are easily subdued and cured j
by the free use of St. Jacobs Oil.
No well regulated household ought to be j
without a bottle of this great remedy for j
pain. It is the specific virtue of penetra- |
tion in St. Jacobs Oil that carries it
right to the pain spot and effects a prompt !
cure even in the most painful cases of
Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Lumbago. Sciatica.
You want it also in the house at all times
for hurts, cuts and wounds, and the house
that always has it keeps up a sort of insurance
against pain.

A Kibboii Novelty.
Hitherto a ribbon was a strip of
6ilk. satin, or velvet, generally chosen
in a color to contrast with the garment
with which it was to be worn. This
is all changed, and this year ribbons
will not only match the gown in color,
but in fabric as well. To meet this
edict of fashion there are the most
exquisite ribbons fashioned from the

mer for dresses. There are ribbons of
white silk muslin, decorated with gold;
chiffon ribbons strewn with flower designs,
ribbons of pongee, of linen and
of crash and ribbons of net and grenadine,
bordered with velvet or with
satin. The possibilities of these rilv
bons in the way of trimmings is a1
once apparent, for, although tliej
match the gown, the necessary coloi
note is given in the color decoration of
the ribbons themselves.
Gowns For Occasions.
Demi-toilette gowns with semi-high
corsages are those usually worn at
theatres or small dinners. These this
season are made in various shades of
mousseline de soie, crepe de chine, or
in anv of the new tilmv materials for
evening wear. One particularly charming
was carried out in black chiffon
over a foundation of ivory satin. The
bodice was artistically draped, Gchu
fashion, with long ends failing down
in front and at the bnck. The waist
line was defined by a jeweled girdle,
which tastefully held in the fullness
there. The sleeves were of the variety
known as angel shaped, and the
neck was tilled in with needle-point
lace. The skirt, closely gathered into
the waist, flared out below into large
flounces.

I DISCOURSE ENTITLED 1 ULTIMATE
AMERICA.".
i Patriotic Address by the Iter. J. Alexander
Jenking, Pastor of Immannel Congregational
Church?This Country the
Spiritual Teacher of the Nations.
Brooklyn, n. Y.?In Temple Israel the
lev. J. Alexander Jenkins, pastor of Iraaanuel
Congregational Church, delivered
n address to a large audience on "Ultiaate
America, the Spiritual Teacher of
he Nations." He said among other things:
It is a commonplace of the newer thinktig
that the evolutionary process culmintes
in the soul of man, the whole mighty
jovement being satisfactorily explained,
ccording to the thinking of the theistic
volutionist, when matter endowed with
ife and perfected through countless genertions,
has at last given to the mind of the
uman being the instrument for the elementary
exercises of its endless life. The
truggles of the ages are justified in the soul,
'he student of history is perplexed as he
ears the groanings and witnesses the traaiiings
of the nations through the centur;s,
and his natural and legitimate query,
8 he beholds the rise and fall of nations,
i, Where lies the goal of the peoples and
rhat justifies the toils and agonies of the
ace? The answer to this inevitable que6
ion is tms: AJmignty uoa js leading xne
ations toward the goal of the highest life,
nd the struggles of the ages find justificaion
in the birth of the world-soul. And if
be fact that God breathed into man's nosrils
the breath of life, so that he became
living soul is sufficient recompense for
be bloody brute battles of the "world's
ray dawn, the thought that He will
reathe a soul into the nations should likerise
be deemed ample compensation for
be gropings and grapplings of the aspirnts
for national permanency and supremcy.
The American colonists were not the
rst men to fight for independence, but the
lotives that produced the Declaration of
ndependence made their fight epoch
larking as no other fight had ever been.
Ither nations had given up slavery, but
o nation was ever before called upon to
urnish so awful a proof of sincerity of
lotive in striking the shackles from the
mbs of the enslaved. Other nations have
ad to deal 'with the problem of undesirble
aliens, but no nation ever felt as feels
imerica the imperativeness of a course of
ction based upon righteousness and jusice.
Other nations have seized the terriory
of the weak and heirless, but none
as felt such deep, unselfish solicitude for
dependent people as has characterized
ur country in her dealings with a primiive
-neotile committed to her care as the
utcome of her intervention in the intersts
of humanity. Other nations have had
t> effect adjustments between employer
nd employe, but no nation has ever been
ailed upon to effect such an adjustment
;hen the conditions presented revealed so
learly the fact that a great principle of
niversal importance is involved. The setlement
of tne "labor problem" in demoratic
America means the setlement for the
rorld, for here the employer of the highst
type meets the worker of the highest
ype, and the final result will be in keepog
with the character of the contestants.
So we are learning the lesson of deliberteness;
and one of the most promising
igns of the times is the tendency to deal
nth great questions cautiously and calmly,
'he result of this course will be that what
he new America settles will stay settled,
ihe will settle, and that for all time, the
uestion of the rights of inferior peoples,
he question as to the character of the eduation
most to be desired, the question of
he relation of employer to employed.
America is to-day solving the accumulated
iroblems of the ages. And God is willing
i. - i - i- - _i u i?i:
Licit sue siiuuiu nave nine tu vuujpicic ticx
ask.
In view of what has been said, it will
trike us as a fact of solemn import that
ur country is preparing for her yet larger
ervice through the slow, constant development
of her religious consciousness. The
xistence and growth of this consciousness
he superficial observer of our life and*inlitutions
might feel inclined to deny.
Jevertheless, we are convinced that this
lost necessary condition lor present and
uture leadership exists.
Where shall we seek for this religious
onsciousness? Shall we look for it in the
restitutions set apart as avowedly religjus?
No man has the right to scoff at oranized
religion. Our schools, our churches,
ur synagogues are, on the whole, true to
heir mission. But the truly effective reigious
consciousness must be found in
ther places as well?in the editorial sancum,
in the political gathering, in the mart
nd the busy street. Let us find this conciousness
in these places, no matter what
f-c fnrm finrl wp have AQ crnnfl a crn.T
ntee of the divine favor as though we had
azed upon owrflowing houses of worship
nd listened to the eloquence of the elect.
?he religious spirit which makes for Amerzan
pre-eminence may be discerned in
nany phases of the national life, but it i9
trikingly evident in the new press, the
iew politics and the new social ideal,
inhere are many, doubtless, who would not
oncede that tne press of the country furlishes
an evidence of growing national
ighteousness, but the fact remains, that in
he newspapers of our land there is a disinct
trend toward righteousness and godin
ess.
The truthfulness and force of our presnt
contention will seem to many hard to
econcile with the well-known fact that in
he United States the avowedly religious
ournals are steadily losing ground. But
ven this fact, rightly interpreted, is not
n evidence of national decay. The religrtiic
nnnprc nf fn-rlav hnvp a nhnirf* hpfwppn
legeneration and evolution. The signs of
legeneration are stubborn adherence to delominational
shibboleths, fierce championhip
of exhausted dogmas and growing im^
atience with progressive interpretation of
ruth. The signs of evolution are the
hrowing overboard of useless issues, and
he adoption of the leading features of the
;reat "secular" papers. Tl>e great reiigous
papers of the country to-day are sucn
n name only. Were the contents of one
if these papers rearranged and printed in
>ewspaper form it would paes as a news>aper,
minus the newsDaper's up-to-date
reshness. In the secular press, on the
ither hand, there is steady progress and
ncreasing vitality. The moral tone of the
American people is reflected in the new
ournalism, and the fact that the citizens
if the republic desire righteousness is patnt
to all who seek the underlying motives
if journalistic enterprise of the highest
vpc. And this fact is most significant
when we remember that these great ageniec
of publicity, free discussion and eduction
have a direct bearing upon the shapng
of the ideals of the inflowing millions
>f our population. The spirit of the
imerican journalism is communicated to
he Americanized representatives of these
oreign peoples, and they in turn give it
o their dependent fellows through the colimns
of their publications. We have no
ight to assume that papers published in
oreign toncues stand for Old World anirchy;
we snould, the rather, heartily con ede
the fact that these journals, printed
n Italian, German, Hebrew, Welsh and
ither languages, constitute a great mislionary
agency for doing foundation work
n Americanism and altruism. Indeed, the
rery fact that our citizens in the making
agerly grasp these informing agencies is a
irophecy of great things to come. We
lave here no isolated, lethargic, self-satisied
aggregation of human beings, but we
lave millions of men who are being inipired
by the air of a free country and by
ler institutions. The newspapers in the
lands of these men are as banners waving
'ncouragement to faraway nations lying in
larkness and distress.
When we come to speak of the new
American politics we invite the ridicule of
nose wao see in American pontics ai us
jest only a crude "shirt-sleeve diplomacy,"
md at its worst a contemptible system of
oot and graft. And the self-sat istied critc8
of our political life ignore their own inconsistency
in that they expect a governnent
which they take pains to tell us is
'only an experiment" to run with the
smoothness of an old governmental machine.
The man who is content to, live in
t primitive cabin, subject to the limitations
)f a semi-barbaric life, may have tranquility
and peace of a certain kind, but he
should be the last person to scoff at the
man who is battling against heavy odds
for better and more adequate accommoda
)
tions. A9 a nation -we are building the
better house. We have found that it costs
1-1 J 1.1 J j. :l_ c
iuuui aiiu uiuuu iu btruuic ttic aitc iui uui i ix
. edifice, that our material, cut from the j *s
forests of the Old World, is rough and un- |
seasoned; that sometimes our workers fail j
to enter unselfishly into the spirit of the j tl
enterprise. We at times discover, too, that j
we have not followed correctly the plan of j ,
the great architect, and then it becomes j
necessary for us to humble ourselves by i ri
tearing down part of the structure. But, |
after all, the building grows, and its pro- j j)l
portions already begin to challenge the ad- j
miration of the world. The critic, as he 0]
sits at the cabin door of monarchy or aris- ir
tocracy, begins with vague alarm to con- g
tast the cracked and crumbling walls and .
the leaking thatch of his abode with th?
rising mansion in the distance. o:
The nation's social ideal makes inexor- | V
able demands upon every citizen of the re- j y
public. The world of to-day marvels at j _
Vif> mafrblpRS benefactions of our men ol I "
wealth, and the nations are asking why it n
is that this unprecedented philanthropy is t,
so peculiarly American. It is due to the .
imperative claims of our social ideal. Pub- 11
lie sentiment demands, and men of wealth tl
recofrnize the demand as just, that private ! s
wealth should be spent for the good of the D
nation and for *he good of the race. The
educator feels the same pressure. He hears
the voice of the people summoning him to
a free search for truth. The true labor
leader recognizes the same stern call to ser- ; a
vice; so he becomes a mediator, an arbi- n
trator between two great forces. The old
story in the good Book tells us that a v
Eabel a mighty calamity befell the race? c
that there the speech of mankind became ; s
confused. In this land of ours Babel is re- } .
versed. The nations arfe here assembled I 1
to build the greater tower of truth, and 3
the confusion of the Babel tongues gives j c
place little by little to a new language, the i *
language of love,, spoken by tne toiling i
millions, so that in a sweeter, grander i
sense than ever before it is to be true that e
the whole earth shall be "of one language \
and of one speech." ,
Thalea of old, with so shadowy a conception
of God that we know not whether E
to classify him as atheist or as theist, yet (]
strangely conceived of deity as creating j,
the great world temple and so possessing i
it as to reveal in its every part the pres- j B
ence of the Creator. The world of our j <3
time may seem strangely indifferent to j ^
that presence of God which the seers of J ,
the race feel to be the most tremendous |
fact of life. But the world will not remain ?
forever content with mere things. The \
time is to come when the nations must feel
the Divine Presence. When that time
comes the cry of the peoples will be,
"Wherewith shall we come before the !
Lord?" God grant that in that solemn j f
day of the world's supreme need it may be | j
granted unto us as tne teacher of the na- I .
tions to shout the great reply: "He hath
showed you, 0 nations, what is good; and f
what doth the Lord require of you but to
do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk
humbly with your God."
P?o<afln9 Pnwof. _
When a physician is called to a eaaft
of severe illness, the first thing that he r
estimates is the resisting power of the pa- (
tient. The chances for his recovery are I ,
in proportion to his vitality. If there be | .
little of that at the outset there is small j 1
hope of overcoming the disease. The re- !
sisting power of persons in full health is i
such that in an epidemic they throw off | j
the disease germs that prostrate others. I .
One cannot always tell from appearances '
just how much ability one has to withstand I
the inroads of a malady.. Some who ap- |
parently are robust almost immediately .
succumb, while others who look frail re- '
cover from violent attacks. Of course, dissipation,
unhygienic living, unhealthful i
surroundings sap one's resisting power, so (
that when a virulent ailment makes an j
attack one has strength insufficient to
fight it off.
You see that it is not so much the malignancy
of the disease as it is the vital- i
ity of the man that determines the re- i
suit. Just so it is also in the moral world. !
There are some persons living lives so up- |
right, so spiritually healthy, that they are
practically immune from temptation. And
when they are overcome, they soon discover
themselves, for their power of resi6- ,
tance is great. On the other hand, there
arc those who after succumbing to one
temptation are completely swept away by !
the power of evil. How can that be ac- |
counted for? Obviously in the same way
that the ability to resist physical disease i
is to be explained. There has been unwholesome
moral living; the mind has
been permitted to become familiar with
evil thoughts; the soul has breathed in
miasma and corruption until one has no
ability to put away temptation.
All this suggests tne neeu ui kd?uu6 ,
power both against disease and against j
sin. A pure, clean, wholesome life, physi- j
cal and moral, will make one secure i
against any harm that either can do. ,
Two New Elements.
There are two elements in every successful
man's life, says an exchange, the human
and the divine. It takes a great vai
riety of experience to make us complete
I and fitted to do the greatest good. It is a
j good thing for a person early in life to j
! learn to consult the divine will and find !
I from God. Yet God's leadings upward I
I would have been of no avail had David I
J not been prepared to use them. David is j
an illustration of the benefit of being !
trained to work. His home training was
in at atmosphere of piety and intelligence,
and his daily duties with the sheep was a
training in business, courage and government.
David is a striking example of
faithfulness in lesser things. Life is full
| of tests of character, and the wise person
derives good from every source. He make9
| everything contribute to the building up J
| of his character and his work. ] '

"A busy woman entered her own room '
I as twilight shades were falling?went directly
to he:r desk, turned on the gas, and j
began to write. Page after page she wrote, j
The solitude became oppressive. She j
wheeled her chair around and with a shock i
of jo}rful surprise looked squarely into the f
face of her dearest friend, lying on the i ;
lounge at her side. "Why, I didift know |
you were here!" she cried. "Why didn't j
you speak to me?" "Because you were so j !

Temptation is not sin, yet much dis- I
tress arises from not understanding this j
fact. The very suggestion of wrong seems I
I to bring pollution with it. The poor,
tempted soul feels as U it must dc vcj y |
bad indeed and very far off from God to j
have such thoughts and suggestions. It j
is the enemy's grand ruse for entrapping
us. But it is no more a sin to hear these
whispers of evil in our souls than to hear
the wicked talk of bad men as we walk
along the street. The sin comes only by
our etonping and joining in with them.?
H. A. Smith.
Men Wanted.
There is nothing we are so much in need
of in our city and country as holy men.
When we think of the "epidemic of crime" |
that alarms us. the social depravity that i
disgusts us, the commercial dishonesty
that startles us, we wonder if with our ,
opulence in material resources and our '
spread of educational advantages, we are ;
growing men, true men, as we ought.? {

the sadness and sternness of life; it is
never shallow or unreflecting; it is restrained,
tender, sympathetic, confident.
We know it when we see it in the face of
any whom we love; it helps us.?R. J.

Be at Your Best Alwayn.
God's will comes to thee and me in
daily circumstances, in little things equally
as in great. Meet them bravely. Be
at your best always, though the occasion
be one of the very least. Dignify the
smallest summons by the greatness of |
your response.?F. B. Meyer.
Pnrlfjlnsr Milk by Ozone.
An apparatus in use in Germany for
\e purification *of milk by ozonization ?
so constructed that the milk con- '
lined 111 a vessel nows inence m u
lin stream into another vessel placed
eneatb. The wires and carbon points
f a strong electric battery are so armged
that the arc formed by the
imping of the current from one caron
point to the other passes through
r in close proximity to the stream of
tilk. The ozone which is thereby enendered
from the oxygen of the air
; said to be sufficient to kill all microrganisms
contained in the milk,
^hile no reference has been made to
le use of tbis apparatus for the puricatlon
of water, there seems to be no
sason why ozone could not be applied
> this end, unless it be the difference
1 cost between the milk and water, j
be price obtainable for the latter pos- 1

urifying agent. |
The Useful Camel. j

'hat sort of digestion makes it, of j
ourse, valuable in a country where |
he bill of fare seems compiled in the *
nterest of carnivora, but its indiffernce

Vhile the Arab camel needs drink i
Laily, his Somali brethren, when on a (

King Keeps Hotel.
The King of Wurttemberg is the only
lotelkeeper who is a King. When j
Peter the Great was traveling incog- (
lito through Europe he refused to'stay
inywhere but at an inn. To circumrent
this whim the then King of Wurtemberg
put a tavern sign outside one
>f the royal palaces, and dressed as
in innkeeper, himself welcomed the
Hzar. That monarch's descendants
iave been in "the trade", ever since;
tnd the present King owns two large
liotels, from which he derives about
[150,000 a year.
