' OUR MILI- Stay Not Weeping by the Tomb of Yester- day; Do the Work of, To-day. ‘ “Show me thy faith without thy works lb and I will shew thee my faith by my works."â€"James iii., 18. Is there a faith for the practically Or is reli- gion exclusively for the dreamers and those who are contented with sentiment and feeling? These people ofaction, who measure by results, who have no life to waste on things not evidently use- ful; these who feel so intensely the needs of humanity that they have no time to waste in anything other than workâ€"is there a religion for them? If one looks to the churches for an answer the encouraging replies are the exceptional ones. The average church is conducted on the theory that while humanity needs much spiritual nourish- ment, mostly of a water gruel character, it needs absolutely no spiritual exercise, and therefore no provision need be made to: the practical expression of one's faith, at least in ways other than paying the pew rents. But religion is not a form of life nor a point of view for one kind of people alone; it is the spirit of higher things coming into the lives of all kinds of people. Its expression will depend on the temperament of the individual. It nay lead some to sing hymns, but it will certainly compel others to build houses and to CARE FOR THE SICK AND NEEDY. The truth is that in a worldof men and affairs no man is actually religious Unless his faith is finding sOme practi- cal expression, and the greatest need of our day is that our hard-headed men and women who do things shall become inspired with the spirit and ideals of re- ligion and shall do those things which religion's spirit of love and service would indicate as needing to be done. t Pious people are deludlng themselves if they think that they are cultivating the religious life and meritlng the rewards of faith by simply sittingin church and feeding themselves on beautiful senti- ments and thrilling visions, or even by vigorously attacking all those who dare tn differ from them in matters of roll- gious philosophy. Nor can religion find full expression in liarkin'g back over the centuries and elucidating the mysteries of ancient mir- acles or tracing the history of ancient peoples. A man might as well hope to cure the sick by a chemical analysis of a book on medicine as to serve and save world by biblical research. If as much brain and energy had been given to solving the problem of society and leading men into the way of right living today as have been given to dig- ging into the historical and plulologucal problems of scripture, the world would 1313 A BETTER wo'nLD BY FAR. We must let the dead past bury its dead. There will be much more real religion iii the intelligence, care, and sacrifice applied to the problem presented by the millions coming in at the gal; of our country than in the most painstaking study of the emigration of a horde of Israelites milleniums ago. That is what the practical man feels; there is so much to be done, why waste things in dreaming of how things once were done or in wishing for a world where no need or sorrow exists? Therefore, he is apt to say, in 'the business of bringing things 'to pass religion has no place; it is only for the dreamers. Yet no one needs religion more than the man who would do any worthy and lasting work in the world. Indeed, the possibility of such a work. will notat- ways down upon him without some of the spirit of religion, and the posses- sion of desire to do great and worth- while things is evidence of‘the heavenly flame within. Any work for the sake of humanity needs a wider vision than that of its own field. Courage fails and hepe dies if we see only the dismal problem; if we have only T HE PRACTICAL OUTLOOK. Some vision of the ideal must enter into all great work; one must learn to see humanity in the light of divinity, It is a good thing to be able to see the Divine in the commonplace, the hand of Providence in history, the work of the Most High as recorded in the daily pa- pers, as well as in the gospels; to do our work, whether it be laying railroad track, selling dry goods, making or teaching or trading, as part of the ser- vice necessary to bring in the better day. Here is the religion of the practical mind, to express by the service of heart and brain and hand the belief that he has in the possibilities of humanity, the hope that he has of a fairer, sweeter, nebler age than this, to make real the world‘s best ideals. So, seeking to bring to earth the best that heaven has dreamed, men have found themselves lifted into the light of infinite truth and love. , . HENRY F. COPE. Mw INSANITY MADE HIDE GENIUS. German Alienist Says Lunatics May Produce Something “’ortli “’liile. Officials of insane asylums, declares Professor Hildcgarde, an eminent Ger- man alienist, should always be on the lookout for bursts of genius from the lunatics under their care. There is nothing so true, he says, as the idea in Dryden's famous lines: “Great wit-s are sure to madness close allied and thin partitions do their walls divide." The only difference, he says, betiveen a sane genius and a lunatic. is that the former has the power of self- control and self-criticism. He posses- ses the ability to voice his ideas in a manner which will impress the minds of those around him. Professor Ilildegrade asserts that it is entirely wrong to scoff at the notion of the insane. He points out that while the einanatlons of their soaring imagination may in nine cases out of ten be simply ludicrous, there is just the chance that the tenth may be a flash of brilliance that will be of in- calculablc value to mankind. Consequently, he would create it pos- cases where such things liavcfloccurred. The most striking case he points out 15 one which. happened right in our own country. The patient became possessed of the thought that he could lay a cable in 24 hours. His scheme was to send up a ionster balloon until it reached a height where it would be stationary. Then he would let the earth revolve be- neath it and as the continents and the seas passed he proposed to .pay out fTi'e cable. and, of course, as the earth re- quired only 24 hours to revolve it ap- peared manifest to him that the cable laying could be accomplished in that period of time. v Finally, after he had bored everybody in the asylum with this theory, he was weaned of it. Then he got another scheme in his head. This was that an attachment could be placed upon a ten- nisracquet which would make it un- necessary for a player .to stoop after the ball which fell upon the ground. This attachment he wast allowedl to make and now the model of it is on view in the potent oiliccvin Washing- ton. IL is expected that it. will be plac-el on the market next summer.

Garment “'orn by IIussars That Had Its Origin in Early Turkish \Vars. “What is the meaning,” asks a corres- pondent, “of the garment called, I be- lieve, a dolinanâ€"a sleeved-tunic hung 'from the left shoulderâ€"«worn by the ’King of Spain at the Bourbon Wedding? The bridegroom, too, I notice, was simi- larly overdrcssed." The immediate meaning of it was that the two person- ages mentioned were wearing the most ;s_L-lcndid clothes they could find in their iwardrobes, says the London Daily Mail. It signifies in the second place that both "of them were oilicers of lnissars, to loss a historic relic, the dolnian means even more important things. In a sense it means the salvation of Christendom from the hordes of Islam. For liussans were invented by Mat- thias Corvinus, King of Hungary, one of he great opponents of the Turk in his long struggle to break into Europe. Matthias raised a special force of light. cavalry by enrolling one man out of every twenty in the villages of flun- gai'y, and “liuszar” means in Magyar “twentieth.” The world has always looked to Aus- tria and Hungary for example in'the matter of light horse, and. liussars have come to be copied all over Europe with out any thought of the meaning of the name. Great Britain, never quick to iii- ncvate, changed two light dragoon regi- ments to liussars only a hundred years ago and has since added eleven liussar Ircgiincnfs to these. Along with the name the distinctive details of the busby and dolman have been copied too. The dolman tells plainly of the Turk- . lSlI wars of the fifteenth century. The Hungarian troops had borrowed from their hostile neighbors the idea of the “dolama”~â€"the word is Turkishâ€"a sleeved robe worn over the other gar- ments, probably for warmth. Whether it was Turk or Magyar who conceived the idea of casting it loose and going into action with it flying picturesquely on the breeze we do not know. The liussar’s busby too is Hungarian, the bag depending from the crown being a rudimentary form of a long stuffed bag that hung from the Magyar’s bushy to save his head 'and neck from sword cuts. ____.1.____... DESERT DIET. _â€" Dates and Figs the Natural Food of Desert \Vandcrers. While journeying acis the desert, Mrs. A. Goodricli-li‘rcer, author of “In a Syrian Saddle," met a lonely traveller bound for Mcdeba. On hearing that the caravan was bound for the same place, he asked permission to join them. In- cidentally he furnish-ed an illustration of the difference between necessities and luxuries. We were very grateful, says the writer, for coffee and an excellent lunch of sausage, potted meat and jam, with white bread, brought from Jerusalem. We ate our dainlies with some sense of guilt, as the newcomer produced his lunch of dates and figs. Dates and figs, he informed us, were the natural food of desert wanderers, suflicing to the body, stimulating to the mind. The wheat, the flesh, above all, .tll'l alcohol of civilization, were more iri’clm'aiicicS. \Vas it not diet such as thisâ€"and he waved a pair of sensitive hands over his ascetic larderâ€"which had enabled him In reply to the inquiry of a personage as t'- how many hours a day he could ride in the desert, “'l‘weiity-four, your majes- ty. since a day does not contain twenty- ilve.” , Was it not on a diet of figs and dates that he had ridden sixty hours without dismounliiig? Was it your n’iCut-cah‘ir, your wine-drinker, who remained sound and wholesome. when necessity obliged him to refrain from'ablution for twenty- ' one days? At this point be carefully counted his date-stones, observing that two more were yet due to his appetite, and finished his frugal luncheon.

When the bed is opened in the evening the low-er sheet will not pullout, but will remain as tight as when first tucked in. , lire Hintsâ€"In escaping from a firei creep along the floor of the room, with face as near the floor as possible. Smoke ascends and there is always a fresh cur- rent of air in which one can breathe with greater ease near the floor. If a lamp: gets overturned water will be, of no uset in extinguishing the flames. Earthd sand, or flotil- thrown on it will have the“ desired effect. Waste Paper Catalanâ€"Take a common- old sack. Sew a small heap at the t0p of sack with twine. The small hoop off a butter tub would do. Then take a piece of twine and form a loop at the top of sack to hang on a hook in a convenient place in the kitchen. A ready catcher for store paper.

Makei the apron twenty-four inches long. twentyâ€"six inches wide at the bottom: (rounding the corners), and twenty-two inches wide at the top. There is plenty of material for a ruflle an inch and a half wide where hem is put in and the: rmiiainder need for strings. For trim- ming use some pretty white calico cut . on the bias an inch wide. There are al- ways some “leftovers” from other things that. will do. For the band use the sonic trimming. Grow Parsley in 'llOllSC.â€"-Tll-€I‘0 can be nothing prettier for a dining-room win- dow than a box of the common. garden parsley of the curly leaf variety. Get a narrow box, just long enough to fit your window sill. Get a can of white enamel and give the box two coats. Wlicn dry fasten to sill, fill with good soil, dig the parsley roots from the garden and plant several in your box. using the smallest roots you can get. Give plenty of water, and if it gets sunshiny even part of the day it will soon be as pretty as a fern. A part of the leaves will fall over the white box and the contrast is beautiful. You can cut the leaves freely for gar- nisliing and it will always make new growth. ._.___..}..- DOG ATTACKS LION. Heroic Fox Terrier Saves Life'of Mas- ' ter in South Africa. A story of a heroic fox terrier that saved its master‘s life by attacking an enraged and wounded lion comes from Rhodesia. While out shooting at Lomagundi, a settler named Marsh, accompanied by a fox terrier, 'cncountcrcd a fine male lion. A rifle bullet rolled the huge brute over, and it lay, to all appearâ€" ance dead. But as Marsh approached it. the lion leaped upon. its assailant, knocked him down and severely mauled him. The terrier pluckin rushed upon the beast and worried it so much that the lion was compelled to turn upon its tormentor. This gave the man an op- portunity to reload his gun and shoot the lien dead with a bullet through its brain. Marsh was conveyed to a lio'spitai in a serious condition. _____.~p___.
