GUARANTEED SATISSACIOBYl THE EDITOR'S LEISURE HOURS. Observations of Passing Events. Hon. William Jennings Bryan stands out before the world as one of the most conspicious examples of concientious Chris A Christian Statesman. in the State of Maryland he was invited to deliver a political address. A hall had beed secured and the announcement made without Mr. Bryan's knowledge, and perhaps twelve hundred people had gathered to hear him discuss political issues. He promptly and positively refused to desecrate the Christian Sab bath in any such way. This was altogether commendable and clearly demonstrated that the great statesman has more regard for the proper observance of the Christian Sabbath than for his own political interest. Good men of all political parties will hold him in much higher esteem, whether they agree with his polical principles or not, bcauso of the moral excellency of his character, and his positive stand against Sabbath-breaking and for civic rightousness. Let all the people praise this celebrated American for the honor he places upon the Sabbath. The ex ample he sets is a noble one. The Raleigh correspondent to the Charlotte Observer recent ly gave out the following news that is of interest to the entire Provision for the Insane. action. It awards contracts to J. D. Grandy, of Charlotte, for three buildings at Raleigh for male epileptics, three for female epileptics, and three for insane males. Each group will ac commodate one hundred and each group will cost $14,813. It also awards Grandy the contract a colony of insane women of the 920. Thus four hundred additional patients are provided for and besides this a male annex, accommodating one hundred will be ready in ten days. All be brought here and placed in sion awarded J. F.

(Success Magazine.) One of the great advantages of a college training or its equivalent is that it helps us to clip the corners, to take short cuts in our methods of doing things; we learn to focus the mind and to hold it upon one thing continuously and vigorously. The college-trained young man or woman ought to accomplish a great deal more than one who has not had these four years of mental training and discipline. We often hear people say that it is a pity to spend the four most valua ble years of one's life in college; but there are innumerable instances of men who have so trained their minds that they have been able to accom plish more in a single year after leaving college than they could have in two or three years without the training, so that they have actually saved time by the discipline which has enabled them to work intensely and continuously. Prident Eliot once said to the Har vard students; "You ought to obtain here the trained capacity for mental labor, rapid, intense, and sustained. It is the main achievement of college i v,; LVJ Will LUIO 11111 11 1V1C, blllO . - i u a- . capacity for keen observation, just inference and sustained forethought. and everything that we mean by the reasoning power of man.

The Put-Off Feeling. (Selected.) "I purposed to write some weeks ago," said a friend, "but yielded to the put-off feeling." No explana tion of what he meant by the put-off felling was needed, for we have all felt it. It is a feeling, an insidious and powerful something which seizes upon the mind and paralyzes energy. But it is a highly dangerous feeling, which weakens the will, undermines character, and makes unhappiness. It grows with indulgence. A man who puts off a thing which should be done today will find it harder to do that thing tomorrow. Continued in dulgence will bring one to the point when the very fact that someting must be done now will constitute a well-nigh conclusive reason why it should be put off. He can't do it now, simply because it must be done now. Certainly all his life he has been yielding to the put-off feeling, and now that something must be done promptly, the same put-off feel ing asserts its power; all the more because it must be done now. Some one has denned an educated man to be one who can bring all his energies into play instantly at the call of duty. Instantly! The people who do things are those who have this in uu aic "luoc stant command over their energies, and on the contrary the man wno I JT 1 fnnMnrr f . i ueiIB ailu lcma Procrastination loses the power of prompt, incisive action, ne is com mittin a crime aainst the of his soul, weakening his will and paralyzing his conscience.

Some More Don'ts. (Round Table.) Don't, if you are a girl, allow your acquaintances to say anything in your presence that cannot be said in the presence of your parents. Don"t allow ridicule of sacred things to go unrebuked. Don't laugh at such ridicule and don't repeat it. Don't be led into doing things harmful to others because those things are not harmful to you. "If meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no meat." Don't dress in a very striking way, either on or off the street. Don't wear showy jewelry and cheap lace flounces and guady artificial flowers in profusion. Simplicity of dress is particularly becoming to girlhood and is an indication of refinement of character. Don't dress for church or Sunday school as you would dress for a party. Many a poor girl has kept from Sunday school because her clothes, the best she could afford, were in such marked contrast to those worn by the rest of the class. The Sunday school room is a poor and glaringly inappropriate place for the display of one's wardrobe. Don't be affected in your manner or conversation. Affectation is nev er agreeable and it deceives no one. Be natural. It is one of the chief charms of girlhood. Don't be led into thinking that a pert, flippant manner adds to your charms. It repels rather than at tracts those whose friendship would be of value to you. Don't allow a coarse word or a word of slang to escape your lips. It is simply painful to hear a young girl using such words and phrases, It is a positive injury to her charac- ter in the eyes of many, and it cer- tauily indicates a lack of spirituality in young Christians. Don't be afraid of being too strict in your views regarding the life of a Christian. There is far greater dan- ger of your being too lax in your views. Have the courage of your most profund convictions and you will grow in grace as well as in the hio-h rpsnpc t. nf those whose eves are " - r - upon you. T.-.n'f foil tr.

Thirty years ago in a poor school- house in a back district a boy at the foot of the class unexpectedly spell- ed a word that had passed down the entire class. "Go up ahead," sa;d the master, "and see that vou stay there. You can if you work hard." The boy hung his head. But the next dav he did not miss a word in spelling. The brighter scholars knew every word in the lesson, hop- ino- there might be a chance to get ov,0o,. Rut there was not a sinele nno. Dave staved at the head. He had been an indifferent speller be fore, but now he knew every word. l i wavcilUH an well now?" said the master. "I leran every word in the lesson, and get my mother to near me at t,on T rn over them in the iiisiii-, "iv." - morning before I come to school.

Success may come sometimes un expectedly, but work alone can hold it. Decrease In Immigration. (New York Journal of Commerce.) One of the most striking evidences of industrial depression in this coun try is the falling off in immigration since last November, when the effect was first noticeable. For the entire year 1907 the number of immigrants arriving in this country was unpre cedented, reaching a total of 1,334,- 166. There was a gain in nearly eve ry month until December over the previous year, when the total was 1,215,349, which exceeded all previ ous records. Even in October and November the number was consider ably in excess of the same months of 1906. The monthly average for the year was over 111,000, but it Decem ber the number fell to 66,574, com pared with 85,466 in 1906. Immigration in the first half of the year has uniformly exceed to a con siderable extent that in the last half. Last year the arrivals in the first six months numbered 743,952, or a monthly average of 123,992. In 1906 the total for the first half year was 673,943, or a monthly average of 112,324. In January, this year, there was a drop to 27,220, compared with 54,417 last year, or almost ex actly one-half. In February the number fell to 23,381, against 55,541 last year, a reduction of nearly two thirds. These two months are usual ly the lightest of the year and last year the number rose in March to 139,118 and reached still higher in each of the next three months, the maximum being 181,886 in May. This year the increase was only to 32,517 in March, or less than one- fourth the number arriving in the same month last year, while in May the total was only 3G.317, or less than one-fifth of last year's record. The total for six months was 192.C56, against 743.952 last year, C73.943 in 1906 and 62S.17G in in3. But the effect appears not alone in this great diminution in the number of immigrants. Though we have no exact statistics of the departures of aliens from the country during the same period we know from the re- ports of the steamship companies that they have greatly exceeded the arrivals. There has been an actual decrease of the foseign population. made UD mostly of laborers. ThlS unusual movement has served to mit- have been otherwise unemployed and lessened the consequent privation nd suffering and the strain on many communities of affording charitable relief. Labor has become an export as well as an import and passes with comparative ease between mis couu- try and Europe according to the con- diUon of the market for it. A Healthy Family.
