It is much easier to fancy what we should like to have, what position we should like to fill and how we should act if different circumstances sur rounded us than it is to put forth the efforts and self denial necessary to make such attainments. A proportion of life is consumed in this manner. This habit is justly called day dream ing, for as In sleep the brain. deprived of the power of will to direct it, weaves cobwebs that the first breath of consciousness dispels, so in this list less condition the mind, uncontrolled and unguided. brings forth specious fallacies that reason, when fully aroused, will utterly dissipate. These day dreams are sometimes defended on the ground that if useless they are at least harmless; that if they confer no benefit they inflict no 4njury. This, however, cannot be the case. Nothing occupies so neutral a position. Use lessness is of itself an injury, but be sides this habit of idle reverie pro duces positive evils. Valuable time is wasted, energy is frittered away, the mind is enfeebled, the activities are discouraged, the present active life Is rendered tame and insipid.

The mis takes furnish them a temptation to dis play their knowledge that Is hard to resist. "Every now and then," said a local haberdasher, "I fix up a window sign with a misspelled word or an er ror In grammar in it. Dozens of people drop in to tell me where it's wrong. Of course I act surprised and thank them. Then the chances are I sell thein something." At a Kansas City theater there used to be an advertis ng curtain which bore the word "ver sus" spelled "verses." The werd at tracted more comment than many of the acts did. It made people talk about the theater, and in the theatrical business to get the public to talking about things is the first step toward money making. So many people be gan to bother the house manager about the misspelled word, however, that he finally had to have it changed.-Kan sas City' Times. Gve Tour Stomach Rest. Nothing will cure indigestion that doesn't digest the food itself and give the stomach rest.

The increasing popularity of the ba nana in this country recalls a curious reference to the fruit to be found in an old volume entitled "The Glasse of Time In the First Age," divinely han ded by Thomas Peyton (1020). In the eighty-first stanza occurs the follow ing: A cucumber much like it Is in shew, Of pleasing taste and sweet delightful h~ue; It with a knife the fruit in two you reave, A perfect cross you shall therein perceive. I the Canary islands and in Brazil it was regarded as an affront to the Saviour to cut the banana with a knife, as it revealed the~ crucifix. But in or der to see this clearly it is necessary to cut the fruit when it first com mences to ripen or, if ripe, immediate ly after it is taken from the plant. L~ondonl Standard.

Text of the Lesson, Ina. ix. 1-7-Mdem ory Verses. 6, 7-Golden Text, Matt. 3, 21-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. [Copyright, 1905, by American Press Association.] Our last lesson was entitled "Prep aration For the Messiah," and this is "The Character of the Messiah," but it might be more appropriate to call It the nature or manner of His kingdom. The great topic of the Scriptures is the kingdom of God, which will have Israel for its center, Jerusalem for its capital, the Lord Jesus Christ for its king and the whole earth ;Ls its terri tory. When He came in Hishumiliation as the Son of Mary He fulfilled many prophecies and brought the kingdom nigh, so that He said, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand," as said also John the Baptist and the twelve and the seventy. But because they rejected and crucfied Him the kingdom was postponed till Ae shall come again, and then He will fulfill all the prophecies which are as yet unfulfilled, or, accord ing to Acts Wi!, 21, the heaven must receive Him until the times of restora tion of all things whereof God spako by the mouth of His holy prophets -.hich have been since the world be gan. During the present interval of His rejection as Israel's Messiah He is at the Father's right band as our great High Priest, the great head of the church, His body, which is now, by the preaching of the gospel, being gathered out of all nations and being trained to reign with Hina when HIs kingdom comes. In such a lesson as this we must note its primary refer ence to Israel and her Messiah and then gather the heart lessons for our selves. The first of the command ments spoken out of the fire and after ward written twice upon tables of stone forbade the worship of any other god but the one only living and true God who brought Israel out of Egypt. Israel's great sin was the persistent turning away from their God to wor ship Idols like the other nations about them. And the wonderful thing about it all is that God should continue to love such a people, bear with them, plead with them and continually set before them a glorious future when they shall have truly repented of their sins. The last four verses of chapter vili with the first verse of our lesson, if read from the Revised Version, warn the people of coming judgment and yet of future glory when they should truly turn to the Lord, but how awfully solemn the word in verse 20 that there is no morning for those who turn away from the word of God. Apart from Him who is the end' of the law for righteousness to every one that be lieveth (Rom. x, 4) there is naught but darkness, both here and her.eafter; but He is the light of the world, the only true light, and in Him is no darkness at aUL. The ungodly, who are abiding in darkness and in the shadow of death, should easily see in all believers something of the light, for He has said tous: "Ye are the light of theworld.* * * "Let your light shine before men."' (Matt v, 14, 16.) Where the Lord Jesus Is truly received sorrow and sighing and unrest give place to rest and joy and gladness (Isa. xxxv, 10; Matt. xl, 2, 29), foretastes of the kingdom when there shall be neither adversary nor evil occurrent, and the nations shall learn war no more (I Kings v, 4; Isa. , 4). The expression "as in the day of Midan" suggests the supernatural way in which God wrought by Gideon and his 300 (Judg. vii), and among the enemy set every man's sword against his fellow. The birth of a soul, the gathering of the church, the con version of Israel, the coming of the kingdom, are each and all the work of God alone, and so also is the lfe that the redeemed are expected to live here on the earth in this time of our hnmil ation. The zeal of the Lord must do it nl or else it will not count (verse 7). The whole 'Bible story centers around Him who is called the seed of the woman, the seed of Abrnham, the Son of David (Gen. iii, 15; xxil, 18; Matt. 1, 1; Gal. 111, 16). Concerning Him as "the child born" of verse 0 of our les son, it was foretold that He should be born in Bethleherua and also that He should come out of Egypt (Mic. v, 2; Hos. xi, 1), and so It came to pass (Luke ii, 6-14; Matt. 11, 15). He said to Manoah In Judg. xiii, 18, margIn, that His name was "Wonderful." See also Jer. xxxii, 17, 27, where the word "hard" is just 'the same word trans lated "wonderful." In Jer. xxxii, 19, and Isa. xxviii, 29, He is said to be great and wonderful in counsel. Com pare Ps. xxxii, 8, margin, and xxxiii, 11. In John 1, 1, we read that "the word was God" and in John xiv, 9. we iear Him say; "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father." When His kingdom comes it shall be seen that the work of righteousness is peace and te service of righteousness quletness and assurance forever (Isa. xxxii, 17). Then it shall be seen that "the throne of David" means just what the prophet said and what Gabriel said to Mary, the literal throne of the literal David at the literal Jerusalem, for the Scrip ture cannot be brokeu, and as truly as He was born at Bethlehem and came out of Egypt and all tue Scriptures concerning His humiliatior. were lit erally fulfilled, so shall all prophecy be fulfilled in the same literal manner. Take heed lest He say to you, "0 fool, and slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken" (Luke xxiv, 25). The same person who will rule the world in righteousness and peace, Jesus Christ our Lord, will accept the government of the life, including all the affairs of each of His redeemed ones, If He is only permitted to do so. First Use of "Magazine." "Magazine," properly a storehouse (Arabian), has been annexed by liter ature, but it Is interesting to assist at the birth of its now common literary use-in that venerable periodical, the Gentlman's Magazine. In the Intro 'duction to its number (1781) we read, "This consideration has induced sev eral gentlemen to treasure up, as in a magazine, the mo.Ct remarkable pieces on the subjects above mentioned." London Times. Mean Thing. "No," said Miss Passay, "I don't like the photos Kamrer made for me. They rake me o.>k like a woman of forty."

Making a ringer in the pitching of quoits must have been a part of the training which made the English long bowmen so terrible in siege that by gauging the distance and taking the lay of the wind they could send up a deadly volley at the exact a-ngle to drop their arrows with destructive force Into the heart of a beleaguered city. Getting the lay of the wind is the first thing to be learned in the noble art of pitching horseshoes. If the wind be contrary, the nicest cal culations as to everything else will be in vain. It is only a supreme master of the game, a dazzling genius In It3 mathematics. who can play against the wind-that Is to say, one who, if the wind be from the east, can, by throwing at exactly that degree of an oblique angle needed to make it meet the wind full at the point opposite the goal, may hope to have it carried to the right spot.-St. Louis Globe-Demo crat In Praise of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. There is no other medicine manufac tured that has received so much praise and so many expressions of gratitude as Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is effective, and prompt relief follows its use. Grateful parents everywhere do not hesitate to testify to its merits for the benefit of others. It is a certain cure for croup, and will prevent the at tack if given at the first appearance of the disease. It is especially adapted to children, as it is pleasant to take and contains nothing injurious. Mr. E. A. Humphreys, a well known resident and clerk in the store of Mr. E.

Native servants in India have the generally desirable, though sometimes inconvenient, virtue of the Chinese doing exactly as they are told. The trouble is that they seldom use judg ment. Lord Roberts during a campaign in India had ordered his man to prepare his bath at a certain hour, One day a fierce engagement was going on, but the servant made his way through a storm of bullets and appeared at his commander's side. "Sahib," said he, "your bath is ready." Even a better story comes from an unknown soldier who was awakened one morning by feeling the servant of a brother officer pulling at his foot. "Sahib," whispered the man, "sa ib, what am I to do? My master told !m9 to wake him at lialf past 6, but he 614 not go to bed till 7." The Season of Indigestion.

It is a harmful thing for any one to coddle his heart when there is no is-] ease, and I think we (the medical pro fession) are far too instrumental In rding and abetting this. We do far more good by pronouncing people sound, even if out of health, and thus sending them forth with renewed hope, than by keeping them in the chairis of uncertainty and nervous dread, than which nothing can be more crushing to the utility of a life or more harmful to the chance of regaining stealth. I know of no symptoms of a "weak heart" Yet the use of the term leads either to a state of nervous dread from which recovery is most difficult or else to a life of luxurious idleness, whiich, by the enervation it causes, is likely soner or later to be precedent to the end it would seek to avoid.-Dr. James Goodheart of London.

"A good many people can't float even though they can swim. They can't float because they keep the line of the body, from head to heels, stiff and straight.
