MIHISTHY TO THE AGEi)
The Yiolots You Plant in ihe Gnrd'-ns
of Another’s Life Will Ketum Their
Pragrattce
There are mauy aged ou itt'
pilgrim way of life v bo are
worthy of, and who are waiting
for the helpful ministries of to
day. Yesterday their compan
ionship was complete, but the
years have broken the charmed
circle, and they face a new world,
which too often lo,3ks askance
with an unfeeling eye. In retro
speot they mark with emotions of
sad cess the comradeship lost by
the wa . d go forth with souls
oppressed by smothered sighs,
which they are timorous of Itbei-
aiiog. Wo do not always rightly
measure our share of responsi
bility in makiug their last days
bright New days to them are
unlike the old ones; and their dim
vision often precludes a glimpse
of the beautiful which we of per
feet eye take for granted they
see.
Those dear souls have been
the millislering angels of yester
day, and while with good record
ilicy pursue their homeward way
are entitled to a loving ministry
tliroogb woid and act and smile.
We cannot conceive of their ap
preciation of an hour spent with
them, or of a kind word or deed
which is a vocal instrument ol
love. The mingled feelings oi
graliflcatLon which stirtheir souls
at our coming abides to season
with cheer the hours which,apai-i
li-oin such ministry, would be in
deed hard to bear. Reverence
forage is commendable, and yet
this might not furnish motive foi
all the thoughtful and tendei
ministry which is certainly ex
pected of us.
Tue locolleciion of the times
when these or oiners in tike limi
tation touched ourownlifein past
days with tender and inspiring
benedictions; will often arouse us
to be considerate, for their sakes,
of those with whom we have a
chance meeting-
In the home those who must
tarry yet awhile should receive
our warmest smile and rest with
out a disturbing care. No hastj
word, spoken by anyone, shoulu
ever fall upon their ears; or any
spirit of listlessness infer a lack
of interest, while perhaps the oft
told chapter of another day is be
tdg recalled again. We who are
strong should be willing to b. at
with patience the infirmities of
the weak. When they have left
us we will wish them back again,
and censure ourselves keenly foi
any lack of loving consideration
for them as they sojourned.
The aged who meet us on the
street or call at our door are en
tilled to the kindliest considera
tion. Listen to their story, sym
palbize with them, and when th'
occasion bespeaks it let sy mpathy
be expressed in material way-.
Pick stones from their path, and
when the staff upon which they
have long leaned is broken, pro
vide another which is stronger
When they halt, extend a helpfu,
hand; when the way is lost hj
reason of the mists of the eve (.in
you, who see with clearer eye,
deem it an honor to point the wa.’
and if necessary shou’d reqttin
it go with them as guide and
support even until home is reach
od.
Let every ministry to those o>
riper years be given with gra-
that shall not offend. Your uuIl
istryof love shall return. The
violets you plant in the garden ot
another’s life will return theii
fragrance upon the evening
breeze, and the consciousness o)
having become a blessiog, just in
your way, to any who late in thi-
afternoon of life needed you, will
be a compensation far in excess
of any sacrifice your ministry
may have entailed'—The Presbv
terian.
Gentle Miinner.s.
There is no doubt that in this
pu.slung world of ours the courte
sies of life, those iuJetinable
graces of voice and manner tha'
(Odicate good breeding and re
iinemenl are in danger of being
largely curtailed. So keen is the
rivalry, so intense the strain, so
outer the losses and disappoint
ijenis. that the savage elements
aeem to come in o play, and most
.)f us have neither the time nor
the temptation toattend tograces
of behavior.
The word, the tone, the gesture
betray the man or vvoman of
refinement. The true gentleman,
for instance, is even tempered,
never loud of speech or dress,
lie possesses ihe quality of seli
control. This is not boastful or
vain. He will not prate of hi
self. He will not insist always
upon his rights but can gracefu
ly waive his privileges. He will
respect his neighbor's convic
tions. He will be scrupulous ol
nis word. He is modest, deferen
dal. careful to avoid offense, but
uol a ‘'mush of concession.”
I'nere is no religion without geti
cleness. The kindly temper, the
thoughtful act, the courteous
deed, the gentle manner, are as
much part and parcel of religion
as the mechanical repetiton or
of prayers and listening to a
sermon. What wretched bypocn
sy to be soft voiced in our peti
tions to God and cruel-tongued in
our intercourse with our neigh
bors!—Jewish Messenger

Cedar tea as 'U Lice Killer.
If one has cedar trees on bis
premises he is in possession of a
very cheap and effective lice
killer. The ceJars will .probably
be the belter for some trimming,
and the branches thus removed
should be bruised with a hammer
and then cut into short lenghts
according to the size of the vessel
in which thay are to be steeped.
Pour sufficient boiling water
over the cedar twigs to make a
strong decoction and sprinkle
this on the walls, in the nesting
boxes and over the perches. The
tea will be greatly strengthened
if the vessel is placed over the
fire and.the water which has been
poured over the cedar boMed for
a couple of hours. The scent oi
the cedar is very offensive to lick
and such a preparation as we
have described will coniplutely
rid the poultry house.of the pests
It will aiso exterminate the bed
bug pest, which is often quite as
much of a nuisance as ‘he chicken
lice. And the myriads of. ileas
which sometimes congregates ou
the floor of poultry houses, which
stands in neighborly proximity to
the pig pen, will cease tfaeir jump
lug immediately after takin;

Yos, Augnst Flower still has She lar^jes

Your mothers’ and grandmothers’ never
thought of using anything else lor Indi

scarce, and they seldom heard of appendib

etc. They used August Flower to clean
ouf the system and stop fermentation ol
undigested food, regulate the action of the
, stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that is all they
took when feeling dull and bad with head

Loss of Life by Lightning.
The loss of human life by light
ning in the United States during the
year 1S99 was greater than any pre
ceding year for which statistics have
been collected. The number of per
sons killed outright or suffered inju-
ries'\ which resulted in their death
was 562; the number of those who
received injuries varying in severity
from slight physical shocks to pain
ful burns and temporary paralysis
was 820. The subjects has been
treated exhaustively by A. J. Henry,
in The Monthly Weather Review,
dnblished by the Weather Bureau-
The greatest number of fatalities,
about 45 per cent, were in the open.'
The next greatest number occurred
in houses, 34 per cent; 11 per cent
occurred under trees and 9 per cent
in barns. Fully a dozen persons
were killed in the act of stripping
clothes from a wire clothes line or
coming near to one.—Scientific

morning tells us the mills are re
fusing to buy logs at any price,
and be was told, unless the mar
ket for manufactured lumber im
proves, the mills will be compell

unfortunate as owing to ti e good
price of timber a good many of
the farmers have invested large
