One of Detroit's best known evang*
ministers l;as a hnlf iuttrost in r. i-yeav-
oM daughter. The other day j-lic broke
over the trace? of discipline and her
mother sent her into a closet, with t’n;
injunction to tell GckI all about u Iiat u
naughty little girl she had Lccn.
At the expiration of her jicnr.nce hour
♦lie came forth very quietly, a ; if Iier
discipline had had a wholesome effect.
“Weil, little daughter,” said the
mother, “did you tell Cod all about it? ’
“No, mamma,” was the reply; *Tdes
didn't do it, tausc I fought my papa
wouldn't like to let it det out of tho
family.”—Detroit Free Press.
Ancient Di-Uldli Wigwams.
The earthen floora cf eighteen ancient
British wattled huts or wigwams exist

The Fsycliio Man amt the Cosmic.
It is not the fashion just now to ad
mire wholly vital men. The ideal man is
a cisc mbodied affair. But we uiusc not
! forget that some of the grandest types
! were magnificently vital, with large ap-
IrJurjr to One’s Otrii Trade.
A vulgar spoken man can do a great
deal of injury unknowingly to one’s
trade. There aro men who can never be
restrained. If anything goca at variance !
with them, they mako no ecruplo of
flinging out an oath or a vilo epithet. To
Radies this is particularly distasteful, and
there aro sensitive gentlemen too who
can not endure it. Neither may say any
thing, but they quietly stay away, and
tho result is that while one retains tho
foul moutlicd man’s trado he may lose
Iho custom of four or five equally as
good, if not better. Tho defect is a hard
one to correct.—Globe-Democrat. 1

were powerful fu;maces that shook by tho
violence of their combustion the delicate
machinery they propelled. Your Handel

And from St. Paul to John Knox we shall
have to follow the events of history k-v
the great vital captains tliat helped to
make it.
I leave it to aesthetic pictirm to ray, if
in its efforts to establish t2:c purely psychic
