Let yvour hope out, give it liberty, but see hat your industry keeps close to it. The accuracy For a rest time 3 [ihrary is for review of the s G(e S daily sourcesof § CO-OPCTALION better methods. § 7n informa tion on the enemies of easy evrors and the friends of forethought, to re duce mutually erpensive mis talkes of mechawical, commer cial and professional peonle. THE MOSAIC METHOD. Moaes was a city young man and had a method of overcoming evil with evil., One day he found a man killing an other man, so he killed the killer. His method was not appreciated by any one, so he went to live on a farm tor forty years, He round a father-in-law who taught him a lot of common sense. When he had learned to do a few things right then God called on him and gave him an order. Moses had a lot of zeal when he knew everything except how to do it right. Now that he knew how to do it right and had an order he lost his zeal. He wanted his brother to be given the order, so God let him have part of it. But by pushing Moses along God made him very useful and a practical leader. Moses got mad over the follies of his followers and then made a fool of himself for a minute. He might have lived longer and been more useful if he had asked God in place of getting mad. Moses got sick of the Mosatc meth od, as everybody does in time, and he learned by expensive experience to leave all glory and revenge to God. He might have learned all he did by observation and saved himself a lot of trouble. The Hurricane Angers. The old man had a place on the curbstone near a busy corner in a c¢ity, where he made canes and sold them on request. He did not offer them for sale, his working at it was his advertising plan, and he did not like to have crowds of moneyless curious collect around him, as that obstructed the sidewalk and probably endangered his privileges. At times the crowds would form and remain until he would have an angry fit like a hurricane. This made the trouble worse and increased the size of the crowd, but when angers begin they do not very often stop to inquire where they are going to end. If they did they might end at the be ginning. On these subjects young people are able to start with the wis dom which elderly people stop with. Lifting the Hand Too Late. A young lady had a twenty-dollar collection of plumes on her hat. It had taken her years to make this col lection. One evening while crossing a bridge the wind lifted the hat from her head and carried it beyond her reach. She lifted her hand, but too lafe. The hat floated down stream and it had a chance to reach the Mis sissippi river and the ocean. Ever since this hat experience she has been more cautious and active, but her pre vious education might have included sufficient Instruction and caution to have helped her save the hat. Some day the day school course of study will contain exerclses in the interest of preventing things getting lost. We can learn by intelligence just as well as by expensive experience. Discovering a Market. How to find the person who wants to buy what you have to sell is an in teresting subject and one over which many are thinking. But if you happeh to have a rare ‘kind of an article or the only thing of its kind and it is but one, so that only one person in the world is your.market and a one time sale ends the transaction the hunt becomes much like that for a needle in a haystack. Bhould you ever be trying to do anything as difficult as this remember that while on the way to see a man who does not want what you have you may meet a person who knows of some one who does want it. Keep moving and think also. Advice and Practice. It is easier to tell another person how to climb a greased pole than to climb it pourself. When we try to follow lhs'goml advice we give away we may wonder if we gave too much of it away as everything seems to conspire to break up our resolutions. Is it best to expect perplexities and plan for them before we meet them? Over Work. There are times when any one ‘who has to do anything has to do too much in too little time. It is at such times that we wish for time and fore thought, strength and cheer. We may romember when we laughed too much and with that a little had been saved flor times when we:canhot smile. UMBRELLA REMARKS. There is one umbrella in a certain man’s collection—a kind of an um brella which is all right except in a rain. It makes a fairly good walking stick to frighten off the rain, but when it is put up to protect you from the drops frem the clouds it absorbs rather than sheds. It enjoys holding water and increasing its weight. Some one skilltul in clothmaking may be able to explain this peculiarity. It in a better umbrella than the kind whick lets the water through. It may have been made for those who walk next to the person who is carrying it as it does ot drip at the edges. Those who look for good aualities find them where others see nothing encourag ing. Some people could not be blue over anything—but stop—if that fis true then some people cannot be bright over any thing, and I do not want to helieve that. That umbrella has to remain as it is, but you or I can chbange every hour, as we are the switchmen of cur own qualities and dispositions. When we live like a tree we remain as we were started and happen to grow, or if we exist like an umbrella we exist as we are or happen to wear out or get lost, but we do not have to live like a tree or exist like an umbrella. We can grow into better mental condition every day as long as we live and we can influ ence our environments to mutual bene fit. There is always just above every one the Eternal Parental Power ever ready to lift up all who look up and reach up. Rubber Judgment. The shoe clerk thought that the pair of rubbers which he handed the customer would be about right for the boy at home, as the customer said that the boy's shoe was nine by three inches, but the customer asked for heavier and larger ones. The clerk found a pair to suit the customer, and the customer carried them home, only to get the laugh on himself, as they were nearly an inch too long and a quarter of an inch too wide—they. were sizes too big and very big for their size and kind of rubbers, anyway. But the customer Kkept cool and made a comparative study of rubbers and ot shoes and ot boys' feet, then he tied up the rubbers and saw the store again with a much less positive spirit and a more respectful bearing toward rubber department clerks in general and in particular. This time the clerk was asked ques tions and consulted on quality, price and sizes. A better pair, with less weight and more fit at the same price was secured and pocketed. Both cus tomer and clerk were polite and if the rubbers are not satisfactory in every way there will be another chapter to this record. A Path to Daylight. A list of perplexities frequently re viewed is the beginning of solutions because a gain on some one of them will be unexpectedly secured and that victory will prove to be the key to conquering another one. Go over your work and make a list of the things which hinder progress, then read and reread the list, adding an idea as it comes to you. For First Things First. Plan to devote a day to a special piece of work and then, when the day is nearly gone before the special work is started, a wondering over where it went to is natural. But it is also natural to forget about the mistake and a little later do it again. In order to grow we must remember and in vest our experiences. Runaway Talk. You have seen a runaway horse jerking parts of a broken rig after him as he went on in a brainless way. You have noticed that some of us get to talking the same way and jerk parts of broken subjects here and there without any intelligent thought. But to reccognize error is the begin ning of reform. Boys and Bottles. A tribe of boys running around hunting for fun generally manage to worry some ene. In one case they set bottles on the base of a plastered fence and it was their good luck not to do much damage before being stopped. Could such boys be coaxed to pick up broken glass in place of making it? Two Men and Two Hooks. Have you seen men level the broken stone for street paving? They have two big potato hook like rakes ti® together and while one pulls the other pushes. That is mechanical co-opera tion for their benefit and grecater re sults. People all over the world need to know how to pull and push in uni son. When to Be Brighter. A lady cut across the street to catch a car and she ran into a wheelman. Her dress got the worst of it, but she caught the car. In taking short cut paths 'keep both eyes open and a little wider than usual, as ycu must think of several things when where others are not thinking of you. Hymn for the New Year. T take my pilgrim staff anew, Life’s path, untrodden, to pursne, Thy guiding eye, my Lord, I view; My times are in Thy hands. Throughout the year, my Heavenly Friend, On Thy blest guidance I depend; From its commencement to its end My times are in Thy hands. Should comfort, health aud peace be mine, Should hours of gladness on me shine, Then let me trace Thy love divine; My times are in Thy hands. But shouldst Thou visit me again With languor, sorrow, sickness, pain, Still let this thought my hope sustiin, My times are in Thy hands. Thy smile alone makes moments bright, That smile turns darkness into light; This thought will soothe grief's saddest night, My times are in Thy hands. Should those this year be called away Who lent to life its brightest ray, Teach me in that dark hour to say, My times are in Thy hands. A few more days, a few more yvears— Oh, then a bright reverse appears, Then I shall no more say with tears, My times are in Thy hands. That hand my steps shall gently guide To the dark brink of Jordan's tide, Then bear me to the heavenward side; My times are in Thy hands, —Charlotte Elliott. HOW TO HAVE A HAPPY YEAR iR e | MANY SUPER- [ stitions and cus- | toms cluster l about New Year's Day, more { than at any oth er period of the year except No vember, which begins with the mysterious Hal-l loween. In I’ngland ! and uermany a teaspoon is carefully balanced on thel edge of a cup, and tea or coffee is dropped into it by young maidens, drop ! by drop. Every drop that the spoon will hold without losing its balance means another year before a wedding. A dog’s cheerful bark is a good sign, ’ but his howl is bad. If you meet a cat the first thing in the morning it means that you will change your place of resi dence during the year. Meeting a pig on New Year's Day is an indication that the new year will be one of plenty for you. A snake always indicates something dreadful, and a jackdaw, magpie, or crow is a sign that you will be cheated and deceived many times during the year. SN | A Scotchman, on New Year’s Day, will lay a Bible on the table letting it fall open of its own accord. Then with out looking, he puts his finger on the 1 open page, and afterwards reads the text under it. This will indicate his | fate during the year. Itis a good prac- ; tice and one well liked, for the text may be interpreted to suit the wisher, | Ancient New Year's Gifts. b Queen Elizabeth made most I:wlsh! use of the custom of distributing gifts at New Year’s. She herselt received most gorgeous presents, and history enumerates some of the things as cas kets studded with precious stones, ! “armlets set with rubies,” necklaces, mantels, silken hose, smocks, petti coats, looking glasses, fans and brooches. These things do not sound so wildly wonderful to us now, but at that time no doubt many of the things were rare novelties. Silk stockings and looking glasses are mentioned as being wonders of that age. No doubt some of the other things were more or less so. I During the reign of the Bourbon ! Kings in France that country cele brated New xear'’s most pictur esquely. l Carriages loaded with bonbons were driven through the streets of Paris and the poor were feted on sweets that day as they never were on any other throughout the year. Preparations for this celebration were going on in the confectioners’ quarter for days before New Year, and it is saild that the bustle and ac tivity was so great at the time that no one could get in on any other busi ness than that concerning the great holiday. Literally shewers of confetti bonben boxes of every cenceivable kind and device fell upon the poor of Paris upon that day, on which the king grew lavish. When Pins Were Valued. In the middle ages it became the custom to give pins as New Year's | gifts. ' Pins were invented about the first of the year 1,600 and became popular very rapidly, as well they would. Now adays one could not imagine how to get along without pins. Before their advent wooden pins, which were really skewers, were used. When the sick little pin was invented it made the greatest furore. 8o mucn so that it was immediately adopted for the general New Year's gift. ‘ As the time went on, however, this fell a little off, and sums of money as gifts became the custom. These gifts were for a long time called “pin money.” This was the beginning of the phrasa still common in our time, although rathsr changed In meaning.
