which, woald wound the; fsetlnga ot

_jo; of. the sges hsve twrtlllpd that
they.would never have been what they
were bat for tbe aelf sacriflclng love of
their muses, who not only rocked them
to sleep when they were tired, but also
started their little feet In Uw paths of
rectitude and piety. The Earl of
Bhaftesbnry declared that the greatest
Inspiration for a true religious life was
lostfJled into blur* by the- falthfnlness
or hla Christian none. Tbe mighty
..Umtate, tha late Alexander III, the
jcur. of oil the Bmndas. •honored the
faithfulness and the devoted: love of
his nnrse. Sui rounded by the grand
dukes of Bussla far three long miles
he followed afoot after the hearse
which carried .the mortal remains of
that dear friend through a --- --
team of 8L Petersburg. And as the
dying French soldier, writhing onder
the sorgeotfe knife, cried out. "Doctor,
cut a little deeper, and yon win see.
pictured noon my heart the face of. the
mighty emperor,** so, many of ns. If
we cot down Into the hearts of the
Citthfal servants who hsve watched
over as to oar childhood,.could there
find oar own faces, becaase the hearts
of these faithful servitors-best with
lave for ns.' '
Bat though many of oar household
servants may be to as and to our chil-
dren, as tho Earl of Sbaftesbury's
Christian nnrse wsa to him. yet no true
father or mother can afford to delegate
the physical, moral and religions traln-
tag of' then* ^children "to ~servsnts,~no
matter how falthfol and trne those
servants may be. No woman can take
the place of a true mother by the side
.of ttxtr crib. No man can do for the
boys what a consecrated father Is able
to do when bo Is faithful to tha trust
which God has given to him.
Oh. man, studying the debit and.
credit sides of your ledgers, .counting

may think you have no time to gu+a sugsr phun when that child

' Good old Dr. Alexander of Princeton
college once preached. upon this text:
Troln up o child In the.wny he shonld
$ix and when be to old he-will not'de-
part from tt." He preached to.prove
that nearly all the sins wblcb men and
women practice con ultimately be traced
back towrong parental trolulnsortothe
hypocrisies of parents who have lived
In the homo a religion of sham. After
the sermon was over some of Dr. Alex-
ander's friends' said to him: "Professor.'
It to absurd for you to preach a sermon
Uke that If what you say to true, tben
you yourself have been living the wrong
kind of a Christian life or else you have
not trained yonr children as yoa should
have done.- Ton know, doctor, that
your boy .Dick to one of tbe worst boys
In ail Princeton college. He to as wUd
as wild can be." "Oh." answered the
good old doctor, "you did not bear my
text aright My text was. Train up a
.child hi the way be Bhould go. and
when he to old'- Dick to not old yet
Just wait awhile, and the boy will come
oat all right"' ' Dr. Alexander spake
the truth. Dick did come ant all right
In a few years he not only gave his
heart to.' God. bat be went to New York
dry and entered business as a Chris-
tian layman, and long after bto hon-
ored father bad pillowed bto bead in
the dust Richard Alexander, the wild
Princeton student wielded a mighty
influence for God nnd for heaven. 80,
my friends, today, as Christian men
and women, we must realize that the
whole future destinies of our children
ore largely dependent upon as. If we
live consecrated, godly Uves and train
up our children In tbe wny. they should
go, they will also become consecrated
Christian men, and women, and if We
ore hypocrites and do not train them
BB they ought to be trained then our
children will also tarn out wrong. Bad
parents have bad sons and daughters;
good parents produce good children.
There to hardly an exception to the
rule.
Parental examples and training In-
variably reproduce themselves in the.
Uves of ehjldnn. There to a beauti-
ful atory told of n noted king to tha
far east who ' was . about to take a
Journey Into a remote part of his king-
dom. .He therefore sent ahead of him
a trusted minister to build for his royal
mastera suitable palace where the king
could lodge. In tbe, for country. When
royal courier reached the remote
part of the kingdom, he found a plague
raging there nnd people were dying
by thousands and tens of. thousands.
Bo, Instead of taking the money from
the royal treasury and spending it-for
bricks sod stones nnd mortnr, tbe"royal
messenger spent It for bread and medi-
cine. With It be dug graves- and
burled tb-t dead. With It he bought
dothing-to protect the Irving. And
orben the king came and found what
bis messenger bad' done Instead of
his minister, be
him. He said! "Oh. faithful
yoo have bonded for me a palace. Too
bonded It In the hearts of my people.
Von have buUded Its white walls oat
of tbe tombstones which yoa ' Dave
erected over the graves of the dead.
Too have Jeweled it with the tears
yoa have wiped away. Ton have made
my pamee.echo with the sweetest, of
songs; for those songs are the echoing
sobs which you have attllod." Bo. Uke
the king of old, who scut #3 messen-
ger Into the for country. Cod sends.us
forth as parents on a most Important
mission By oar examples and Uiif
sacrificing love,, we are. to build tbe
palace of parity In the bearteiaof our
children. What we,do invnriabty.de-
ddes bow our children. shaU Uve and
die; tt decides their eternal welfare.
lnflne«v-fT of noble. Christian par-
ents upon the-Uves. of' their children
cannot be described better by me in
dosing than- by telling-the history of
my old home, the borne of my boyhood!
My. father and mother had a large
brood—wo were seven. I never knew
any one of those seven children to have
more Indulgence than the others. TRw^-b
bad the fall measure of a parent's love..
When troubles -*-^*"-* to that t^ww, and
many troubles did come, we always
found that father nnd mother had a
dtvtne strength given to them to bear
those troubles. Way back In the dim
past long before I was bom. they had
set tip the family altar. I was carried
to that sacred altar when so young
that I sometimes used to fall asleep
daring the prayers. My father and
root her were not bound together so.
much by ties of luw as by unbreakable
ties of love. The Brut question father
always 4 asked when he entered the
home was. "Where to your motber r*
Tim riT«t qiiwriifrm tn/rthiT ask&d wben
she cams home was. "Where 1 Is your
fatberTT They were aide by side at
that marriage nUar.' They were' side by
side m tne Christian training of their
Children. • TrTgn-**- In hand as partners
they spread two tabors for theU- Chil-
dren. The one was for the sacred com-
munion of family worship; the other
was the dining table, where- we chil-
dren were taught to love one *"*" t fr(T
Christ Was asked to Btt at both tables.
That .parcntnl Influence hi tho h->mf?
of my -HK|f^*rtMift«i was a blessed one. In
my coUeg-e days I used to cherish the
bops that that Influence might b0 con-
tinned b my own home by the earthly
of my > ffn^h^f. and - mother,
who I hoped would pass the twilight
of then- Uves by my own fireside. Bat

Bxmonr links at homo, I saw n.gray

oat from London and on tho open sea-
Bat thero were people on deck undoubt-
edly playing golf—playing It with the
absorbed, eager air that marks the dev-
otee of the game ob dry land."
Ocean golf to one of the novelties of
se trnn-f^tlflnti** summer season. It
was .flrst Introduced on the boats of the
Atlantic Transport line and has. been
taken ap enthusiastically on tbe larger
steamers of oil Unes. Mr. Morris ro-
turned on the MInnctonka. 14.000 tons
barden. COO feet from stem to stem
nnd with on after deck 2QO feet long
and -40 feet Ip beam, Golf links had
been laid out on this deck In the lee of
the cabin. • '
"The golf course about the deck,"
said Mr. Morris, ''consisted of nine
circular chalk marks n foot In diameter
in Ken of holes. The golf balls were
ahuflleboard disks, five Inches across
and an Inch thick. Tho clubs- were
shudloboard sticks, with ends hollowed
oat to Bt the disks. With these clubs
the.disks were sent sliding about the
decks by vigorous shoves Instead of
free strokes. The haxnrds of the course'
were furnished by a whcelhoose 30 by
SO feet in size, ventilators, two'hatchca,
four donkey cnslncs, a capstan, spars,
coils of rope and a galleyway leading
to the deck below.. '
"A good player could make a round
of eighteen' boles In half ' or three-
quarters ai an hoar. The third hole
required a display of skill nnd a slight
knowledge ot billiards. It toy snug,
behind a group of big ventilator fun-'
nela. Tho only way to rench it in n
single stroke - was to drive your disk
Bgulnst the Bide of tbo after hatch and
make It carom toward the bole. In
driving from the fourth to the fifth
hole yon bad to reckon with tbo wheel-
house. which lay "between, them. In
working hack from the toffroii to the
cabin you entered on a Uttle campaign 1
full of difficult problems. The way. waa
beset with Bach bankers' as a steam
donkey, a scuttle over a galleyway. a.
number of ventilators and a capstan.
In making the final bole, yoa drove
yoar disk straight from one side of tbo
deck to the other through a three foot
alley between cabin and hatch. .
If tbcr« was a sea on. and the boat
rolled the dlfflculties of play became
complicated. - Then, In driving, you
had to allow'for tho list of-the deck.
If yonr stroke was not sure, there was
the annoying possibility that your disk
would turn on edge and roll a hundred
feet or so-down the dock and fetch
up In the scuppers. When tbe disk
went Into tbe gutters, tho players said
It was In the grass."
"There was-.nothlng bot golf aboard
from the beginning of the voyage—to
the end. Billiards, cbosa, -whist and
poker-were waved aside for golf. Every
passenger became as brown as a berry
from playing golf on deck to the wind

The Toeon theater hi Havana, one of
tbe lamest and most famous In tbe
western heulspbere, was built hf an
old reprobate, Mnrtl; who was a no
torlotn pintle In his day and obtained
Immunity for himself by. betray Ing his
comrades Into the hands of the Span-
ish untharitlesi. One dark and rainy
night Marti slipped by the sentry
BOnrfUruj tbe palace In Havana and
entered tbe apartments of the captain
sencral. who was writing; at a table.
When tho governor general raised hl»
eyes and saw the cloaked flgaro before
him, he reached for the bell.
"Stop, your excellency!" cried the
stranacr. "I am hero on a.desperate
enterprise. -1 have come to deliver Into
your bands every'pirate on the Cuban
coast upon one condition—a pardon for
myself." ...'•... .
rXau shall hare. It," was: tbe answer.
"But who. are you?* '
"I am Mnrtl. and I rely opon tha
promise you have Riven me."
Preparatory- to this Interview Marti
had appointed a rendesvons for the
different bands, to which he conducted
the Bpanlsh force, and every ulnta
was captured and righteously narrated.
As for Marti, he was not only Psr-
doned, but was given • monopoly ot
tha sole of flsh In Havana, which made
him n rich and thus eminently respected
citizen, who ended his days In the odor
of snnctlty.—Army and Havy JoasnsV

In the valley of the Bsrca, In Abys-

women, .without balding meetings or
agitations of any kind, hsve emanci-
pated themselves. All the women work
hard, while the men are Idle; but. by
way of compensation, the house and aU
it contains belong to the wife. At tho
least unkind word she turns tbe bus-
bsnd out at night; In storm or ram. and
he cannot come back until be makes
amends by tbe gift of a cow. Tbe wife
considers' It a duty to abuse tbe hus-
band, and If she were weak enough to
show any love for him in Ufe or grief
at his death she woold be scorned by
her tribe. The wife, without any res
son. msy strike her tent snd go, taking
with her one-third of the Joint posses-
sions. The bos hand, unless he Is trsv
eUng, may not live out ot his tent, but
his. wife may go to her parents for a
year and annul, for tbe time, her own
marriage. •

Not only Is this old university re-
nowned for- the Impulse which it gave
to scleuce, lint it also extended its
protection and aid to literature, poetry
and the anu arts. For example, I'tole-
my. Pblladelphua did not consider it
beneath him to count'among his per-
sonal friends the poet Calllmachus, tbo
author of a treatise on blrus, wbo hon-
orably maintained himself by keeping
a acbool at Alexandria. Among the
most distinguished poet* may be men-
tioned Ijyoophmn, whoso' work "Cas-
sandra" "till remains, and Theocritus,
whose exquisite 'bucolics prove how
sweet a poet he was.

There hi a plant hi Holland, known
as tho evening primrose, which grows
to a height of five or six feet, and bears
a profusion of largo yellow flowers so

Is the fact that the. flowers, which open
