THE PRICE WAS Tflfl GREAT The Rich Man’s Difficulty Before Jesus Is Here Discuesed. Jesus said unto him, go sell what»â€" ever thou hast and give to the poor; and come, take up the cross and follow me.â€"-Mark x. 21. Here, we have a. drama that alâ€" mose merges intc a, tragedy. It is full of power; it quivers with inâ€" bensest interest. Two young men face each other. The distinguishing quality in one is the bearing of a cultured, well- bred gentlemen. The distinguished quality of the other is the strength and dignity and beauty of the soul that shines in every feature of his face. In the face of the one is at great expectancy; in that of the other is the strong reserve power that invites the cry of human need. The one is a pupil, the other is the Master. Jesus took his hand and, lifting him up to that level where man looks into the eyes of man, said: “Put away, sell those things that; are be- tween you and your fellow man and take the same pathway I am takingythen you will truly realize the vision that has come to your soul.” These words created conviction, for they voiced the message of his own soul. He felt that, was the door through which he must pass and that; on the other side would be This is no condemnation of riches. There is no moral quality in mere money. Our saying that money is the root of all evil is only partly true. It is true in so far as money awakens the worst forms of selfish- ness in us; it touches springs and sources of soul poison as nothing else does. If there is anything else that will touch a deeper depth and awaken a. worse form of selfishness, then that is the root of all evil. Jesus enunciated a great principle and did not tie up mankind to a. narrow rule. “Did you take me for a fool whe- you married me ?” cried an angry husband, in the thick of a domestic quarrel, to which the wife meekly responded :â€"-“No, Samuel, I did not; but then you always said I was no judge of character.” But; the price was too great. In a silence as of the grave he turned sadly toward hqme. Life must have a vision, an ideal. Is distinctly different from any other sausage you ever tasted.

The use of oil is also a valuable aid in wearing ship in a gale and high seas. A few gallons of paint oil over the lee quarter enables the vessel to perform the manoeuvre in perfect safety without taking a drop of water on board. When a boat ships so much water that it is imposâ€" sible to get the oil bags slung into position without running the risk of being swept overboard, an 0r~ dinary bed sheet saturated with paint oil, tied to a rope and allowed to float, “ill soon calm the seas sufficiently to permit men to move about the decks safely. Paint oil is agreed to be the best to use, rapeâ€" seed oil and porpoise oil rank next, but kerosene is not satisfactory unless mixed with some other oil. A vision is an outline of possibility. “To live,” to “truly live,” is to bring every energy, every activity, every thought to bear upon the filling in of that outline. It is to see a “gleam” and follow it. To see that Vision is to see the purpose of God. To set out to realize it is to feel the presence of God in the life. This gives true bigness to the soul and to the life. The man who is too big to consider small things is also too small to consider big things. “‘e must have telescopic men and men with telescopic minds. Too many are microscopic menâ€"intense upon little things without seeing their interrelationship or their relationship to a center. In religion the order must never be invertedâ€"- it is Vision, that we may see how the parts relate to the whole; outlook, that we may helpfully and truly get inlook. Valuable Aid in Wearing Ship in a Gale. When the, captain of a waveâ€"beat en ship pours oil upon the waters he does not empty a barrel of keros- ene over the side. He stitches up three or four cotton bags, which he fills first with oakum and then with oil, usually equal parts of, fish oil and Kerosene. The bags are then tied tightly at the tops and pricked all over with a. sail needle to permit the oil to exude, and are hung from the boat davits and weather chains to drip their mollifying contents on the raging billows. The bags must not be allowed to get empty, but must be refilled every two hours. For six bags ten gallons of oil are used in thirty hours. Someâ€" times, if it is very cold, the oil conâ€" geals and will not run out through the holes fast enough, and the mouth of the bag is then loosened to let it escape in that way. Its effect is magical on a rough sea. A huge comber will arise threateningâ€" ly to bury the laboring vessel under tons of water, but will strike a patch of oil no larger than a comâ€" mon diningâ€"table and subside in an instant into a smooth, round swell, which the ship rides like a cork. Vision finally changed him. Tradition says the young man fol- lowed Jesus later. This is easy to believe, for no true soul can ever get away from its vision or from the love that awakened it. Both were here. Every beggar he met, every struggling workman lie employed, every illâ€"clad, ill-fed child he saw, every tiredâ€"looking mother and every form of sorrow or suffering would daily awakcn his vision anew. It would be with him as he rested on his own luxurious couch, as he sat at his own, richly laden table, as rhe put on his own comfortable garments, as he balanced his weekly accounts â€"the vision would pour in its light and suggestions on these. And so this vision, this love of Jesus, would follow and arpeal and plead until the heart and life became shot through with the Christ spirit, selâ€" fishness was driven out. his soul set free to follow the gleam, and the true joy of ennobled manhood beâ€" came the young man’s possession. WEALTH NEEDS VISION, and this Jesus gave this young man. , REV. DR. JOHN. R. MACKAY. OILING THE WAVES.

The advantages of oil fuel for stationary and marine boilers are receiving much attention in Eng» land. Although the total cost is greater for oil than for coal, oil has the advantage of greater con- venience, simplicity and cleanliâ€" ness. It is also more efficient, since a pound of good oil is found to have a calorific value about 35 per cent. greater than that of an equal weight of coal. It also occupies much less space, and in that respect is very suitable for ships. Many improveâ€" ments have recently been made in the methods of spraying and burnâ€" ing the oil. To Protect the Hatâ€"Buy a piece of oil silk large enough to cover the whole hat and extend under the brim. Cut the goods circular and run a casing around the edge, so that when it is put on the hat, the drawstring may be pulled up lightly. Fasten the bag securely in~ side the crown of the hat, and then when you are caught in a summer shower, it can be quickly taken out and adjusted to the hat and you can go on your way in peace of mind. Uses for Newspapersâ€"Two keep burglars out spread newspapers on the floor. Thieves will not step on a newspaper because it crackle may awaken some one.

Then add one tablespoonful powdered alum and one quart wheat flour. Stir and boil till like cake dough. Cool and fill cracks. It will harden like cement. To fill rat holes use above recipe, but add, when cool, a liberal allowance of red pepper. To clean carpets wet a newspaper with ammonia and water, squeeze, tear into bits, throw on the floor, and sweep from one wall to the opposite one. Repeat, beginning where you left off. Use them to cover top of shelves, bottom of drawers for cleaning (dziiiwpcning them), hardwood floors, other kinds of floor, also top of range after each meal, outside of kettles and Every mother knows how fatal the summer months as to small children.

OIL AGAINST COAL. __â€"___|!|._‘.â€",-., In the summer season it is not uncommon for persons going into the woods to be poisoned by contact with dogwood, ivy or the poison oak. The severe itching and smart- mg which is thus produced may be relieved by first washing the parts with a solution of saleratus, two teaspoonfuls to the pint of water, and then applying cloths with ex- tract of hamamelis.

Berlin Merchant Astonishes Vil. lagers by His Liberality. The per-capita wealth of the little town of Cunnersuorf, in Silesia; Germany, has been suddenly ini creased as the result of the visit of 3. Berlin merchant, who sought to' cure a temporary fit of mental de- pression by throwing away hand» fulls of money and precious stones. He arrived from a neighboring village in a cab, which he dis-i nharged after handing the driver a £5 note. A two-penny bridge toll,‘ payable upon entering the town, he} discharged with a fifty-smiling note,‘ refusing to take any change. i Upon every person he met he} forced either a ten or twenty-shill- ing goldpiece. Among others he distributed his gold watch, his dia- mond tie-pin, his pearl cuff-links, and other articles of jewelry. At the tavern where the unknown benefactor took lodgings for the night he explained he was suffering from soulâ€"storms in consequence of the death of his wife. He said he had got rid of £150 in coin and of’ jewels worth the same amount. Reaching the market; square with several pockets still full of cash, he drew forth handfuls and threw them into the air, with the result that the square soon became the scene of wild scrimmages among the twons- people. ONLY ONE CURE FOR A BAD STOMACH Indigestion and Similar Troubles Must be Treated Through tho Blood. Indigestion can be treated in manyways, but it can be cured in' only one wayâ€"through the blood. Purgatives cannot cure indigestion; By main force they move the food on still undigested. That weakens the wholse system, uses up the new tural juices of the body and leaves the stomach and bowels parched and sore. It is a cause of indiges4 tionâ€"not a cure. Others try pres; digested foods and peptonized drugs. But drugs which digest thd food for the stomach really weaken? its power. The digestive organ! can never do the work properly uni til they are strong enough to do i for themselves. Nothing can giv the stomach that power but the new rich, red blood so abundantly sup plied by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills' So the reason for their success i plain. The health of the stomachl depends upon the blood in its delif cate veins. If that blood is weak and watery the gastric glands aven’t the strength to secrete the Eluioes which alone can digest the ood. If the blood is loaded Wit impurities it cannot absorb the goo from the food when it is digested: Nothing can stimulate the glands,; and nothing can absorb the nourâ€"j ishment but pure, red blood. And' nothing can give that pure, re (blood but Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Mrs. Alfred Gallant, Mill River, P E.
