BEGIN vVlTH A PRAYER. ,'EUODTllE KIKST WtUITS OP THE conscious nouns. No cue begins well who does not start with God. The first words of tho Bible lit to be written over the door of eneh , "in tho bee,inuiii; Uod." In tho filth psalm, third verso, we find the words. "Mv voice shall thou hear in the n,', O Ierd; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up." The lifting up of the heart Uod and tbu looking up of tho souls lire indispensable if the day is to move smoothly und well. We can nITord to look up" if wo liave "lifted up" the voice lo God. Cuinuiunion begets cour- The Gudlcns voice in the morning ikes tho pcsMinisui of the noonday. To push open the gates of the day with a prayer, to fill the fresh mind in the early hours with the holy thought, this is to pre-empt the sacred soil of one's own art lortlie tread of IkpIv feet. No man should uoderlako tho battles life without previously girding him- elf with God. The strain will be softer, the strife will be sweeter if there has come tu us the senso of His help. No life can be too tense with Him at hand. Occupation of the heart by ill can be thwarted by prc-oecupation of the soul with God. Uud in the morning hour is the spiritual "onnec of prevention." This aves the bitter repentance of the even ing hour. The early trysting place with Jesus makes the counuuuioo bed in the night. There can bo no nvraotony in the soul that has had (lie I'reliuess of this early touch. Monotony lies in men, uot in things or experiences, Kach heart that reels the Saviour us the first guest oi day will see all sameness vanish irom men and duties of life. The sense of wncs will be as fresh us the eiirly icanis of the iiMruiug sun, as strong as its iit at noonday, and as soft and teuder as the tail of (he twilLht hour. This is what each life needs fre.hness, streogth, and softness Kaeh day will be different from all the rest. It will be a new gift. Ttie life will rise to the sense of its rich- s-. (loud banMies staleness. Let the waking thought be His. Stamp Hisimageon the first con.-cious- uess. Tluse fitsh flowers of the mind should be covered with the dew of Ilia presence. In Christ all things are made new. Givu Him (he first fruits of the conscious hours, and then all the trailing angled thoughts llint follow will be ai the blossoms ol His promises. Unly as one "lilts un" his voice can he "look up" HIS WISIIKS. e wants "a 'spress wagon" a ball and a drum, And "what did you bring mc?" each night when I come: Still.

"When boy," suid a prominent member of church, "I was helped by Bishop Hun line, who visilcd at a house where I was Taking me aside, die Bishop said 'When in trouble, my boy, kneel down and ask f ir G id'a help; but never climb over (he fence iuto the devil's ground and thcu kneel down and ask for help. Pray from God'ssideuf the Iciiee.' Ol that, ' aaid he, ' liavg thought every day of my life since." Continuing, he remarked : "Saulord Cobb, the mission ary to Persia, help' d me in another nay. Said he: 'Do you ever leel thankful when Uod blesses you?' 'Always.' 'Did vou ever tell Him so ?' 'Well, I don't know that I have.' 'Well, try it, my young liiend; try il, try it I Tell lliui so; toll Him aloud; (ell Him so (hut you are sure you will hear il yourself.' That was I new reveladon. I found that I had been only glad, not uratelul. I havo been telling Him with grateful feeling ever since, to my soul's help and com fort."

HER INFLUENCE OVER II Ell CHILDREN WILL LIVE AS LONII AS LIFE LASTS. The little child we met on the street a few days ago conversed so correctly and ntelligently that the question was started, Who (aught (ho child?" The response inc. "Her Christian mother." The little boy in court was questioned to know if he knew the obligations of an oath, and bis replies were so correct that the judge asked where ho had learned these things? His reply was, "From my mother, sir." A famous lawyer, in his plea before the court, repeated one of the long answers in the Catechism, an turned to the judge and said, "May it please your honor, toy mother taught me (hat iu my earliest childhood..' Henry Grady, the distinguished editor, gave an account of a visit to his home, and his mother was the conspicuous and, almost, the only object in it. At the close be said, "When I went to bed she came and tucked Ihe covers all around me in the dear old way, that none but a mother's hand can show, and I felt so happy, and so peaceful, and so full of tender love and tender memories that 1 cried happy, grateful tears until I went to sleep." Juho Ashworth often heard the words sounding through his soul, "God bless John." They were an inspiration to him all through life. When were they first uttered in bis hearing? In his boy hood, when at early morn he attempted to leave the house unobserved. They wcro a petition in his mother's prayer, which ho ovorheard that morning. What had a moulding effect upon the character of Thomas Benton, the great statestuun ? Hear (he answer from his own lips. "My mother asked mc oot to use tobacco, and I have never touched it from that timo to the present day. She asked m 1 not to gamble, and I havo not She asked me uot to drink, and then made a resolution of total absdnence." Many lessons from a mother's lips seem to be lorgotteo. but thete are limes iu every one's experience when they come vary distinctly before us. It is declared of an eminent Englb-h auihur that he often prayed that he might dream about bis mother. A young officer of our navy, a century ago, was found crying just before an en gagement with the enemy. Fear had nolhiug to do with it, for he waB as brave as any on the vessel. "I was thinking, he said, trying to steady bis voice. "that maybe may be Id never sie my mother again, and I'd better write r a letter and then when a fellow begins to think about his mother." soldier in our Into war declared that his war experience brought back all the teachings of his mother. Acknowledgments of the mother's in fluence have been given in Ihe beautiful tributes paid lo them by devoted chil dren, and in the memories of them mid-age and old age, which now and then appear in conversation. Many a man can say, as he (hinks of his mother, "Who would not be a good man with such a mother." Some of the brightest examples of valor and heroism iu the late war were by men whoso mothers were knowa devoted Christ in mothers. With their teachings and example and prayers, they have a mighty stimulus to be brave and good to themselves. And when these Christian mothers hear the praises ol their sons which are going up from the individual and the nation, they might ask the question, who would not be a good woman who has such sons? Who would not live a life of greater devotion because of these sons The influence of the mother upon her sons, and the influence upon her of (be suns walking in her counsels, must great. be Dr. Davie". lodo-Kerratea Maraanarllia la (he Heat llliiod Medicine known.

"Now see him shake his fist at bis old fader! Isn't that cunning? Did you ever see anything so cute and sweet ?" The soft, rosy, dimpled fist is covered wiih kisses. Baby learns what will bring the applause of his little world. Time rolls on a way time has, The same three persons live years older. Papa speaks : "Come out here in the woodshed with me, sir I I'll teach you to shake your fist at me, young man I Off with your jacket, now I" Mother lies on her bed, vainly trying to shutout the sound of the blows and shrieks for mercy.

Four more tucks lo make iu this little dress before tea 1" And the mother turns, frowning, lo her Doisy sewing-machine. Baby goes grieving, away; the gift of beauty to one she loves best has been harshly purned. Time passes. "1 don t sec why my children never give me presents or puy me little atten dons, as my sister's children do her,' sighs the same mother. "And when (hi girls wanted Sarah to help carry flowers to (he children's hospital sho refused and called the posies 'trash.' I can remember sho was very fond of flowers when she was a baby, and used to come dragiog them into the house to make a litter. She never thinks of giving any one flower now, least of all her old mother, who has always been a slave for her." Be comforted, madam; you have your sewing-machine, and can make cloth into ucked garments, such as the one you counted of greater woitb than your child's gift of beauty, for love's sake. Shall we punish in a baby that which in ihe man or woman wo admire as gracious and lovely deed ? A SMALL POTATO. . A man in Toland, Coon., found very small potato in one of his pockets when he came in from his work. "Here," said he laughingly, (o a boy twelve yeats old, who lived with him, "plant that, and you shall have all you can raise from it till you are of age.'' 1 he bright little boy cut the potato into as many pieces as there were "eyes' in it, and planted it. Iu the autumn he dug and laid by the increase of it, and planted that the following spring. Next year he plauted the larger crop gathered the previous autumn. Ibe potatoes grew healthily and did well, and hi fourth year's harvest amounted to 400 bushels. The farmer asked lo be re leased from his bargaio, for he saw the boy's planting would cover all his land And yet it is quite common to despise "the day of small things." HOY CHAHACTKH. It is the greatest delusion in the world for a boy to get the idea that his life of no Consequence, and that the charac ter of it will not be noticed. A manly truthful boy will shine like a star in any community. A boy may possess as much of noble character as a man. He may so speak and live ihe truth that there shall be no discount on his word. And there are such noble, Christian boys, and wider and deeper than they are apt think is their influence. They are Ihe king boys among their fellows, having ao immense amount of influcnoe for good and are loved and respected because of the simple fact of living the truth. Dear boys, do be uutbfu!.

TESl.AS NEW INVENTION FOR : TRANSMISSION OF I'OWER, Nicholas Tesla, the electrician, de scribes in the Electrical Revisw a possi bility ia electric power (ransmission. His invendons for transmitting clcctriei- at bigh pressure over long distances have been successfully applied at many natural sources ol power. Probably the most important of these plants in the United States is at Niagara Falls, cost ing over SG,000,000 to install, which supplies electricity to many largo facto ries and supplies electric power for run ning tho trolley lines of the city of Buf falo, twenty-six mills distant. The announcement is now made that by employing apparatus which he has in vented, capable of generating electrical pressures vastly in excess of any here tofore used, located at natural sources of power, the current can be conducted to a terminal at an elevation where the rarifiid atmosphere is capable of con ducting freely (he particular current pro duced; (hen .at the distant point, where energy is to be used commercially, to maintain a second terminal at about the same elevation to attract and receive the current and to convey it to the earth through special means for transforming and utilizing il. With the article an illustration is presented showing streams of electricity issuiog from a single terminal giving an estimated electrical pressure of two and half million volts. The Electrical Review comments cn Mr. Tesla's novel and startliog id?as as follows: "Tesla now proposes to transmit, without the use of any wires, through the natuiul media the earth and (lie air great amount uf power to distauees of thousands of miles. 'This will appear a dream a talc from the 'Arabian Ills.' But the extraordinary dis coveries Tesla has made during a number sf years of incessant labor, which are authoritatively described in our present issue make it evident that his work in (his field has passed a stage of laboratory experiment and is ready for a practical test on an industrial scale. The success of bis efforts means that power from such sources as Niagara will become available in any part of the world, regardless of distance." SHOPPING.

A man's word should be his bond. Nothing is truer and nothing would re store confidence between men more read ily or surely. The habit of contracting debts making bills with no intention to pay thcui seems (o grow with the increasing age. This is a matter of regret and yet it appears to bo true. Debt paying ia a principle of honor as much as any other principle and no true or honest man cm fail to pay his bills if it is possible for him to du so. A mini's promise to pay then should be as good as the payment itself. Meet ing financial obligations should bu en couraged. The pastors should insist upon it from the pulpit. The great leaders of (he day ought to inculcate die idea into the people. It should be taught iu our schools. It should be (he aim of every good man. It should be a budge of honor. This would certaioly bring about a better era. Tho question of pay ing debts is indeed, an important one. Il is radically and most positively wrong to cheat a man out of bis money, Too many people enter into this matter lightly and look upon debt-making as a trivul sort of a thing. This should not be the case. When a debt of any kind is made the party making it is morally bound to pay it if he can, and the debt should not be made when I here ia no possible way to settle u. We urge that people going in debt make an honest effort to pay the liability. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of AUTUMN FLOWERS.
