I have sometimes thought, when loo'Eing on a church full of children, there is nothing more beautiful in the sight of God. A beau tiful garden full of roses, lilies and lovely flowers, is sweet find beautiful to the eye. The hand oi man guards and watches over it so that no barm can enter, borrjetimes a storm of wind or hail breaks the lilies, destroys the roses and makes ruin where before ail was sweet and orderly. The wicked and malicious man comes in to wreck and' ruin his neighbor's garden, and when he sees this, everybody is touched to the heart. Everything lovely and sweet, trampled down and wrecked, makes one grieved ; but In the sight of God, not the most beautiful garden fashioned bv the band of man. not even Paradise, the Garden of Eden in all its glory and beauty ot llowers and fruit, was so bright and glorious, as are the souls of little children in whom the Holy Ghost dwells. Such a scene is sweeter and" brighter in the sight of God than any garden man ever formed. Cardinal Manning. I'm w :) da 3 ;erur.

Lord Chesterfield's answer, there fore, was. very just. When at Bru-sells he invited by Voltaire to sup with him and Madame C ; The conversation happened to turn upon the affairs of England. "I think, my lord'said Madam C . "that the Parliament of England consists of live or six hundred of the best informed and the most sensible men in the kingdom." "True, madam?, they are generally supposed to be so." "What," then, my lord, can be the rea son they tolerate so "great an absurdity as the Christian religion?"' "I suppose, ma dame." replied his lordship, "it. is because they have not been able 'to establish any thing better in its stead. When they can. I do not doubt that in their wisdom they will readily adopt it."

Professor Sanders, of Fresno .Conn- j ty, tried tea growing once. He thinks It can be successfully grown In Hum boldt County, but his experience in the hot county of Fresno may be of inter est, since the question of tea produc tion on a large scale in California has recently been brought forward. Pro fessor Sanders says: "My tea trees were growing in a grove of cottonwoods, whose shade I found indispensable to the life of the ken trees. I also found, in addition to dense shade, that water heated in the ditch by the summer sun would kill tliem as soon as it touched them, and that I must irrigate them only In the morning, when the water was cool. Observing these two necessary points, I nursed my tea plantation until the trees had acquired sufficient foliage to pick. So I got a Chinaman from the tea region of China to teach me how to proceed. He deftly cut the leaf stems off with the nails of his thumb and forefinger. Thus instructed, I gathered my first crop of tea. "The process was tedious. I soon con cluded to count the leayes as I picked them, and "I thus ascertained that I could select and pick 2.0 leaves in a half hour. When I had worked one half-hour I brought tlie result to my office where, as per instructions by my Chinaman, the additional work of wilt ing, rolling, etc.. was done. I ascer tained that it took about S.000 leaves to make a pound of tea, and that this pound of tea, from the beginning of the picking to the end of the 4pahfiring,' represented two days' work, and then it was about such quality as 'spider- j leg' Japan tea. costing 50 . cents per pound by the chest."

TErrr.RAXCE news and notes. i Drunkenness is very rare among Japanese women. The moderate drinker is helping to gravel the road that leads to the pit. Keep the devil away from the children, and he will-soon have to give up the saloon. Look into the drunkard'-; home, if you would see tracks that have been made by the cloven hoof. When a' physician in Arkansas, becomes a habitual drunkard! the State Board of Health is t-y law enjoined jto revoke his license. Six woman's colleges have temperance so cieties organized under the name of "Somer set Y" in honor of jLady Henry Somerset. It is' estimated, that in the larga cities of the country there are twelve saloons to every church. The ratio in hours of work is one to 291. ' . j . The Sr. Louis Tost-DIspatch states that the great majority of saloons in that city are owned by brewers, or that brewers holu mortgages upon them. -so that th saloon keepers are the poUtical vassals of the brewers. The London Temperance Hospital has ha-i 10.000 patients in its wards. "Stimulants have been used only seventeen times. Dur ing the past two vfars no alcohol ha3 been al lowed at all, nor has. any substitute for it been admitted. j Berry, the English hangman, while lectur ing at Grimsby recently, said that during his term of ofn3 he had conducted over five hundred executions. A great many of the crimes were caused by drink, but, he added emphatically, "I have never hanged a tee totaler!" . Toronto saloon keeper is reported a? saving that the introduction of the electric cars in that city has largely diminished the sales in saloons, as workmen who previously walked home iu companies of from five to twentv and stopped at the saloons on the way for a social drink, now ride home and, once tbere. spend the evenings with their famili-si. Billy's Bright Idea. The Churchman has given us Billy's idea, which is surely valuable enough . to! be spread ubTOirclT" His mother vas going to the seashore, and while she was packing her trunks he was pop ping in about every five minutes with ' something, of his that must be packed! also. "I'd like to help you, mother," hej said once,' preparing to pitch his fish ing tackle in on his mother's laco gown, " 'cause you look so tired." "Never mind, Billy," said his .nother,; catching the tackle; "I shall rest after a while. Packing is hard vork for a tall person, though, for it makes one stoop so." "Why," said Billy, with his hands in his pockets, and his head on one side, "why don't you put the trunks upon something? Hullo, I know; horses, wooden horses, you know, mother; car penter's horses; there are some in jthe basement. I'll bring 'em." j And directly there he was again with a wooden horse on his back. " 'Xother one's coming with Sam,'' he said, panting, "and we'll lift up the trunks." "Billy boy," said his mother, straight ening up her tired back; "I believe your plan is a good one." Sure enough, the packing went on beautifully after that, and at dinner Billy's mother said she had never "packed so easily and comfortably. rft A tombstone never makes the record Ing angel a good slate. The house is on the sand where the religion is all in the head. The man who lives a solitary life will die a stranger! to himself. Personality fis always power when God controls and directs iL Whenever'faith goes to church to pray for rain, it takes an umbrella. In Christ God showed" us what ho wants every-man to become. The man who would walk with God cannot do it in a crooked path. When praise starts the t ringing it al ways strikes the right keynote. The devil .will.be sure to stay awhllo li he calls on you when you are idle. It is only the truth we follow that has power to lead us straight to God. Every time treasure is laid up in heaven It does somebody good on earth. No matter what he may claim to be in church, a stingy man cannot be a happy one. . . ' The man who loves sin is a sinner, no matter how big a place he may till iu the church, j ' The man. who shrinks from self-denial pushes the cup of happiness away from his lips.) Lot was dragged out of Sodom, but there are some church members wha live there yet. Give the devil your coat and it won't be an hour before ho will come back after your vest. Purity don't stop working at the trado because somebody swears to a lie and sends it to prison. There is a good deal of public pray ing done that don't mean anything in heaven or on earth. The religipn that is noisy in church Is sometimes! very quiet in places where it is needed Just as much. Some preachers are afraid to open the Bible very wide tor fear thej will have to die in the poorhouse. .The preacher should pray that every time he opens the Old Book in the pul pit somebody will find it new." No man weighs anything in the church of Christ, unless he does it ta the scales they use in heavem ' Every church has just as many con versions in it as the spiritual condition of "its membership will .warraift. A Pathetic Picture. "There's no help for it," said the pugi list, wearily. "I've gotter go an get shaved." ; , I "There ain't anything terrible In thati Is there?"!' j" " t "I should say there is. Just think of that feller standing over mo with a razor and doin' all the talkin'."

If good health is to le ex pected during the eomimr season the blood must be purified now. Alt the germs of dis ease must be destroyed and the bodily health built-up. Hood's Sarsaparilia is the .only true blood purifier prominently in the public eye today. Therefore Hood's Sarsaparilia is the best me iiciue to take in the spring.
