16 TWENTY LIFE MAXIMS. Thomas Davidson of the Adiron dacks, is dead, but he has left twenty life maxims for those who may wish to follow 7 in his footsteps. These maxims are: 1. Rely upon your own energies, and do not wait for or depend on oth er poeple. 2. Cling v’ith all your might to your own highest ideals, and do not be led astray by such vulgar aims as wealth, position, popularity. Be your self. 3. Your worth consists in what you are, and not in what you have. What you are will show in what you do. 4. Never fret, repine or envy. Do not make yourself unhappy by com paring your circumstances with those of more fortunate people; but make the most of the opportunities you have. Employ profitably every mo ment. 6. Associate with the noblest peo ple you can find; read the best books; live with the mighty. But learn to be happy alone. 6. Do not believe that all greatness and heroism are in the past. Learn to discover princes, prophets, heroes and saints among the people about you. Be assured they are there. 7 Be on earth what good people hope to be in heaven. 8. Cultivate ideal friendships, and gather into an intimate circle all youi acquaintances who are hungering for truth and right. Remember that heav en itself can be nothing but the inti macy' of pure and noble souls. 9. Do not shrink from any useful or kindly act, however hard or repellent it may be. The worth of acts is measured by the spirit in which they are performed. 10. If the world despise you be cause you do not follow its ways, pay no heed to it. But be sure your way is right. 11. If a thousand plans fail, be not disheartened. As long as your pur poses are right you have not failed. 12. Examine yourself every night and see whether you have progressed in knowledge, sympathy and helpful ness during the day. Count every day a_ loss in which no progress has been made. 13. Seek employment in energy, not in alliance. Our worth is measured solely by what w r e do. 14. Let not your goodness be pro fessional; let it be the simple, natural outcome of your character. Therefore cultivate character. 15. If you do wrong, say so, and make what atonement you can. That is true nobleness. Have no moral debts. 16. When 5 n doubt how to act, ask yourself, What does nobility com ni'.nd? Be on good terms with your self. 17. Look for no reward for good ness, but goodness itself. Remember heaven and hell are utterly immoral institutions if they are meant as re ward and punishment. 18. Give whatever countenance and help you can to every movement and institution that is working for good. Be not sectarian. 19. Wear no placards, within or without. Be human fully. A WOMAN’S APPEAL.

(Continued from page 11.) not allow the tops to sink into them sufficiently to make them air tight, and care should be taken in adjusting the rubbers to have them fit securely under the lid. Some prepare the fruit and vegeta bles and put to boil large quantises in kettles, then fill and seal the bottles. We have found the following plan the most successful: Peel and place in jars, whole or cut, (if fruit) as desired. Fill the jars with cold water and let them stand until ready to place over the fine; then pour off the water, refill to the brim with fresh water, adding one teacup ful of sugar to each half gallon of fruit. Have the rubbers on the jars and put the tops on loosely. Have a vessel three or four inches deeper than the jars, place a perforated wood en bottom one inch from the bottom of the vessel; set the jars on this and fill the vessel with cold water to the tops of the jars. Instead of a perforated, wooden bot tom, a few splints of several thick nesses of coarse cloth may be used. Place over the fire and let boil. The length of time required depends on the fruit or vegetables used, some re quiring more than others. Berries, grapes, peaches, pears, etc., require only a few minutes’ boiling. When they have boiled sufficiently, if the water does not cover the fruit, open the jar and fill with boiling water. Replace the top, remove from the fire and tighten the tops. When cool, tighten the tops again and in a few hours they should be examined, and if necessary again tightened. This seems troublesome, but it is neces sary with some jars. Vegetables are canned as directed above, with this difference: when the jars are placed in the vessel to boil they must be covered with water, they also require longer boiling. One tea spoonful of salt to each half gallon jar adds to the flavor of the vege tables. Tomatoes require three or four A STICK OF DYNAMITE (Continued from page 1.) the officials of nation, state and city. But it is not long to be so. Not many more times will you be accorded a welcome to any city. The Woman s Christian Temperance Union, with men and women of sober, earnest purpose, is steadily working for that day when the God of heaven shall say to you, “It is enough.” You know, With us, that the time is near. NOTE: The Philadelphia North American, a great metropolitan newspaper which refuses to print liquor advertisements and has the courage and the wisdom to declare openly for local option and has made a tremen dous success under this policy in a city much larger than Baltimore, makes the following editorial comment upon the above address: “It is one of those documents which mark the progress of every forward movement. In religion these may be called confessoins of faith. In politics they are declarations of principles. In science they may be formulas or theorems or whatever term the technical exigency requires. “In all three, even in science, these documents often utter truths that have been in the common mind for a long time, but which never found verbal expression. And when they have been put into language the common mind experiences a somewhat disappointed surprise that a truth so obvious had not been presented in that way before. “But forever after, that truth has its place as basic in the science or the political doctrine or the religion or the moral philosophy to which it has been given. “We believe that the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union of lowa has articulated such a truth in its address to the liquor dealers.” Since the brewers, distillers and hotel men are endeavoring so to “clean-up’ ’the saloons of Baltimore on account of the impending certain passage of the Local Optionßill as to justify a claim that they are good enough to live, the Anti-Saloon League of Maryland pub lishes this advertisement at the direction and expense of citizens who believe that the saloon at its best is not fit to exist in an enlightened civilization.. minutes to boil, beans, corn, beets, require longer time, from one to three hours. Success in canning depends upon four things: " The vessel contain ing the fruit or vegetables must be filled to the brim; 2. They must be put up boiling hot; 3. Must be per fectly air-tight; 4. Keep in a cool, dark place. If these precautions are carefully observed, there is little dan ger of loss of fruit. VETERAN M’GEHEE BROTHERS. (Continued from page 7.) of sermons, they have performed hun dreds or marriage ceremonies, admin istered the ordinance of baptism to 'thousands, and they have followed hundreds to the grave, where they have attempted to console those whose loved ones have crossed into the great beyond. Notwithstanding their advanced age they are a strong refutation of the idea that old men outlive their use rulness in the ministry. Both are still doing a great work, although ineir combined ages is 154 years, and there are none in the South Georgia conference who would think, for a mo ment, of suggesting such a thing as superanuating them. There are no more widely known ministers in Georgia Methodism than they, and though their lives have been spent in the bounds of the South Geor gia conference, their good deeds have been scattered broadcast over the land. Both were born in Perry, Houston county, Georgia, and their lives have been psent among their own people. It is probably that the South Georgia conference will not see two brothers again, who will accomplish as much as has been accomplished by these two greatly beloved men. The pastorate of Rev. E. H. McGe hee, in East Highlands Methodist church, is bearing fruits. He is going into the homes of his members daily and they feel that it is a benediction to have him visit them. All of his members and in fact all who know him trust that he may live many more years and keep up the good work that he is now doing. THE MOABITISH DAMSEL. (Continued from page 15.) the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife.” The elders and other people present added their blessings, and Boaz took Ruth, the great-grandmother of Israel’s noblest king (David) and they were man and wife.
