RAVES ABOUT OUR; GARDENS Writer Says They Are So Ravishing, So Sunlit, Abounding In' Fresh ness and Beauty. "I can't say enough in praise of the American gardons! I think I should rave about them if I ever let myself go," exclaimed Miss Carlisle. "They are ravishing so sunlit, abounding in freshness and beauty! Do you realize that they are so brilliant that I can never show paintings of American gar dens in the same room with English gardens, because they make them look quite dreary? Their one fault is that there is often too much statuar in them, and too much of it irrelevant. Frequently, too, they are not rambly enough, and seem a little self-conscious. In English gardens email stones mellow with years are used, and the furnishings add that warmth which breeds intimacy. It is the in formal ga'rden that attracts the artist. In England these abound, with their winding paths passing through uneven hedges of many varieties of flowers. That uneven hedge, flashing forth vivid colors, one seldom sees in Amer ica, probably because of the fluctuat ing climate and the vogue of a more formal arrangement." Ethel R. Pey ser in Countryside Magazine. Why Not? ' "Why did you strike, this man?" asked the Judge sternly. "He called me a liar, your honor," replied the accused. "Is that tiue?" asked the Judge, turn ing to the man with the mussed-up face. -Sure it's true," said the accuser. "I called him a liar because he is one, and I can prove it." "What have you to say to that?" asked the Judge of the defendant. "It's got nothing to do with the case, your hpnor," was the unexpected re ply. "Even if I am a liar I guess I've got a right to be sensitive about it, ain't I?" PLEASED THE WOODPECKER Bird Takes Kindly to Tin Barricade Erected Against Its Peckings. MiMnom Mrs. John Pozer of Main street, Newton, N. J., feared that a fine shade tree on her lawn would be killed by a woodpecker that appeared there every day and peckefl away at a hole which he was making larger ' and larger. Therefore she had her husband tack a sheet of tin over the hole when the bird was absent. Refusing to be discouraged and pre tending he does not know the differ ence, the woodpecker now goes to the tree every day and pecks away like a trip hammer, on the tin pheet. The neighbors are nearly crazy with -the noise, and there is a law against kill ing woodpeckers. Economizing. Queen Mary of England has urged the ladies of that country in writing formal notes to use only half sheets of paper, as a measure of economy. The Japanese women think the kimono is wasteful and urge a style of dress that will require less silk. All on accoimt of the war. Lewiston (Me.) "Journal. A railroad is projected to reach the top of Scotland's highest mountain, Ben Nevis. Offended Her Taste. , Apropos of the amusing comments on academic costume that so often re veal popular ignorance of the symbol ism of hoods and gowns is the follow ing story, told by a contemporary: "A friend of mine," says the narra tor, "is a curate in a local suburban parish. Some little time back he went up to Oxford to take his' master of arts degree, and th following Sunday appeared in the pulpit resplendent in his new master of arts hood. A -few nights later he wus dining in the house of a prominent parishioner, and was amazed to hear hishostess pleasantly remark: " 'Mr. X,. that new hood of yours doesn't suit you at all. I can't imag ine why you, with your complexion, chose red of all colors in the world. A myrtle green or an old gold would have suited you much better, and would have been far more effective. You men never know how to dress yourselves.' " Car Conductor's Hope. "I hope," said the car conductor, pensively, after taking the names of the people who saw the lady lose net balance, "that women will rote, and that they'll have a political party of their own and a convention and a plat form." "And then what?" . "And that they'll advocate capital punishment for anybody who gets off the platform backward." Washington Star. Looks Like a Frame-up.

LESSoTFORTuNTui! a f I The Delight of Children The self-developed, inner-flavour of New Pott Toasties bear a unique attraction for the kiddies they even like them dry from the package for their lunches. A box of Toasties provides "eats" that will delight the children. New Post Toasties are usually served with crea'm and sugar, in which form the flavour is more pro- nounced and the flakes more delicious. These New Toasties do not "chaff" or crumble in the package and they don't mush, down in cream both common defects of old-fashioned "com flakes." Then, too, notice the tiny bubbles on the flakes, produced by the quick, intense heat of a new patented process of making which imparts delightful crispness and a substantial body to the flakes. New Post Toasties are a vast improvement over any old-style "corn flakes." ' For tomorrow's breakfast New Post 1 oasii Sold by Grocers everywhere. THE PHILIPPIAN JAILER.' L&SSON TEXT Acts 16:16-40. . GOLDEN TEXT Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou ehalt be saved, thou and thy house. Acts 16:31. , Dean Vaughn has said of this lesson that in it "we have an epitome of the whole history of the gospel." The time was A. D. 50 or 52 and the place was Philippi, an important city, as before suggested. I. The Damsel Delivered of Demons (vv. 16-18). On their way to the pray ing place where they had met Lydia, the disciples met this maid who "had a spirit, a Python." Greek soothsayers were supposed to be inspired by Apol lo, who killed a great snake at Mt. Parnassus and left it to rot. The girl was probably possessed of hysteria and thus spoke strange words, and her condition brought much profit to her masters, who professed to interpret her words. This evidence of evil pos session awoke a sympathetic response In Paul's heart, "Her misery and degradation were a symbol of the iegradation, as Lydia's sweet and be nevolent Christian character was of the transfiguration of womanhood." Stalker. Her cry after Paul was per-, haps that they were the slaves of some Sod, even as she was the slave of Apol lo. The Gadarene (Luke 8:28) used 3imilar language. Paul did not at ouce stop her (v. 8), perhaps to avoid a con troversy, but his deliberation made more profound the final deliverance wrought Worn out at last with her cries, but taking no credit himself, Paul spoke the name of Power which had foretold just such acts (Mk 16:17; Lk. 9:1; Lk. 10:17). II. The Disciples in Prison (vv. 19 24.) Of no further commercial value, the slave drivers sought revenge , by inciting a mob to attack Paul and his companions.- So today the liquor in terests would seek remuneration for the loss of their "business," and anathematize their opponents, while the underworld tries to overthrow all who seek to restrain them. Paul and Silas were accused of "troubling" the city, for the trade has been interfered with. It, indeed, went hard with them thus to be unjustly set upon and final ly, through the connivance of the, spineless- authorities, to be incarcer ated in a filthy dungeon. Still, though the majority was against them, yet the mob was not right (compare 17:5; 18: 12; 19:28-29), and they had One on their side who was sufficient (Rom. 8:28). III. Deliverance and Salvation (vv. 25-35). Christ before Pilate was ac cused of sedition, and these flogged dis ciples were likewise innocent suffer ers, il) rrayer ana praise tzs-uj. Note the circumstances darkness, torn and" bleeding, aching backs and a morrow filled with blackness. There was no sleep for the disciples at that midnight hour, but often strength is better gained in prayer than sleep. "Praying, they sang hymns," in the midst of that heterogeneous lot of pris oners they did net, could not, keep si lent. The result was attentive listen ing by the other prisoners and by a loving Heavenly Father, who shook the placo to evidence his interest (v. 26). (2) The jailed delivered. The place was so shaken that every barred door was opened and the staples of the stocks were so loosened as to liberate every prisoner. (3) The jailer saved. The brutal one is now the anxious in quirer, and becomes a good type for all to fellow who are out cf Christ (a) He saw he was lost. He was subject to the same death as his escaped pris oners. "Supposing" (v. 27) has dark ened many lives, and our greatest sor rows are often imagined. Face to face with death, the Jailer would plunge into an eternity for which he was not prepared. Paul's clarion call brought the jailer to express his anxie ty (v. 29), and it was not a trifling nor skeptically indifferent man who ap pealed to Paul. He was brought face to face with two holy men, with God and with eternity. Those to whom he came knew the facts, had faith, and could meet the emergencies of life with confidence. IV. The Humbled Magistrates (vv. 35-40). The jailer evidences joy, hos pitality and a changed, home, which news must have reached the magis trates. Their early command was to "let these fellows go." Paul here rises to his full dignity. Beaten open ly, condemned without trial and ver dict, does not allow them to cover their crime and blunder by stealth. The magistrates were liable to loss of position, goods, and even life, and hence willingly did all that Paul re quired. Thus tae imprisonment turned cut to the honor of the apostle and th glory of Gcd. Nor did Paul hasten at all in leaving the city. After recovering strength to travel and encouraging the members of the Infant church they departed, taking Timothy (17:14) with them. Thus God gloriously delivered those who labored amidst sore trials, and there was established in Philippi e church which was dear to Paul and which was especially kind to Paul, anc to which is directed ona of his mos; tender epistles.

Suffered Dreadful Pains. Praises Cardul Thomasvllle, N. C Mrs. J. "W. Veach, of R. F. D. 1, of this place, writes: "About 15 years ago, I was confined to my bed almost all the time for two or three years, and suffered agony dur ing that time... I suffered dreadful pains in my hips, and head and in the abdomen. I seemed to suffer all over, and I felt I would welcome death. I could not sleep at night and was awfully nervous... I read of Cardui in the Almanac and thought I would try it, as I felt I must have some re lief from this awful suffering, for I had lost my tflesh, weighing only 94 pounds. I was getting weaker all the time and felt I would die If I didn't get something to help me. "I sent for one bottle of Cardui, and after its use I was improving. I then bought six bottles for $5.00, for I had seen it was helping me. The pain was relieved. I could sleep at night. My nerves get better. . . I got several more bottles and had regained my health, strength, and flesh, and weigh my usual weight... My housework is a pleasure now. I have as good health as anybody. I consider Cardui saved my life." Such letters as these leave no doubt as to the beneficial medicinal action of Cardui. Try it. For sale by all druggists. Adv.
