Re pentance is not turning around no* but resolviDg to do better but you mu9t come to Christ confessing your sins, be converted and be born of the holy spirit and show by your works that you have been horn again. Now my sinner friend you should not let the wicked things of this world make you neglect your duty but let your walk in life show that your light may shine and not be a stumbling block to sinners and God will give yon a hap py home in Heaven when you die. My friends it is much more to be a Christian than all the wealth of this world for when you die it is for all t ternil; you can have them while you live but can’t carry them. W*ll my sinner friend what will it profit you if you gain the world and lose your soul and have to spend in eter nity with the I) evil and his angeh.

On the ninth day of the ninth month, according to the Chinese calendar, nil the Celestials, old and young alike, be take themselves to the hills behind their towns and amuse themselves by flying kites. But amusement is not the sole reason for this ceremony. It conies from nil old Chinese legend, and if a Chinaman did not fly his kite on the given day he would rest uneas ily for the remainder of his life in fear that misfortune would overtake his family. The legend runs that many years ago a certain Chinaman was warned in a dream that a misfortune would come to his home on u certain day. Accordingly on that day he re paired to an ndjaeent hill and amused himself and his family hy tlving a kite while he was waiting for the dis aster. In the evening, upon returning to the valley in which his house was situated, he found that it had fallen in and bnr’~d H*? ;>!<<■’ beneath it. Tie and ills neighbors joined in thanksgiv ing for his narrow escape, and in memory of the .event every year sees the flight of millions of kites in China. —New York Tribune. The Unsociable Young Napoleon. At dinner during the voyage to Cor sica, to which ray father invited the passengers who included some officers of his regiment and the two Corsicans, he requested an officer, M. de Belloc, to call a young man who was wearing the uniform of the military school and reading at the end of the boat. The young man refused. M. de Belloc came back irritated and said to my father: ‘‘l should like to throw the unsociable little fellow into the sea. He has an unpleasant face. Will you grant me permission, colonel?” “No,” said my father, laughing, “and I am not of your opinion. Ills face shows character, and I am sure that he will be heard of some day." The unsociable fellow was the future Emperor Napoleon. Belloc bus related this scene to me at least ten times, adding, with a sigh. “Ah, If the colonel had only allowed me to throw him into the sea he would not be turning the world upside down today."—From Memoirs of Comtesse de Bolgne.

Strains the vocal cords perhaps. All I know Is that I blew my voice out through the mouthpiece of my cornet.” “Did you have a good voice?” "Everybody said ho.” “Then it’s a great pity you ever learned to play a horn,” replied his neighbor, shaking his head sadly. “I— er—think I should have enjoyed hear ing you sing.”—Youth’s Companion.

On the 27th of January, 1908, th* following Bill was considered and passed by the House of Representa tiveos of the United States: ' Be it Enacted, <fcc.,That all ferm ented, distilled, or other intoxicating liquors or liquids transported into any State or Territory or remaining there in for use, consumption, sale or stor age therein, shall upon arrival within the boundary of such State or Terri tory, before and after delivery, be subject to the operation and effect of the laws of such State or Territory enacted in the exercises of its po lice powers to the same extent and in the same manner as though such li quids or liquors had been produced in such State or Territory, and shall not be exempt therefrom by reason of be ing introduced therein in origional packages or otherwise." Mr. Bartlett voted for the above Bill and advocated its passage on the floor of the House of Representatives. Mr. Bartlett is also opposed to the issuence of retail liquor license by the U.S. Government in dry states or dry counties of any s'&te. He also is in favor of a law requir ing the Internal Revenue Department to be made to furnish certified copies of reta 1 license, in case they are issu ed in a dry county, to be used as prl ina facie evidence against the defend ant in ‘"blind tiger" cases. This record of Mr. Bartlett was made back in tqe past, five years ago, long before many of these rampant “prohis” ever thought of getting on the water wagon. We qnote herewith an excerpt of Mr. Bartl itt’s speech. Mr. Bartlett. Mr. Speaker, I think that this bill ought to pass. It is a bill providing simply .that the States that have enacted laws upon the suu joct of the rale of liquor—that have enacted laws, it may be, for the pur pose of preventing the sale of liquor, or for the purpose of regulating the sale of liquor—haye a right to say under the Constitution whether those laws shall be defeated and destroyed by means of the use of the interstate coin meree clause of the Constitution which the Supreme Court has decided in the Rhodes case may be used for that purpose. Now, it is a well-known fact that in the State of Maine, which has had a prohibition law engrafied in her enstitution for fifty years, and all o ver t he country, in every State where prohibition laws exist, those who de sire to violate those laws simply pro cure a IJ. S’ license from the internal revenue collector, and set up their business and defy the laws of the States. This bill, as I understand, simply transfers to the State legisla tures and the State local authorities the right which I believe they have always had since the organization o( this Government —the right which the States reserved to themselves when thev entered into the compact of States—the right to govern their own local affairs and the right to puss and have enforced police laws as the people of those States desire that they should be enforced. This is all I desire to say about the bill.” Like* Being Hunted. The extraordinary Intelligence and skill displayed by reynard when be ing hunted makes it extremely prole able that he, In common with the huntsman and the hounds, feels the keen pleasure of the pride of art—an important constituent of the spirit of the sport. In proof of this, an old fox, when fresh, has often been observed to wait ior the hounds, apparently with the purpose of drawing them on, and so giving j n opportunity for the dis play of his skill. The fox owes his present existence in England to his skill in providing sport, and it is not therefore unreasonable to suppose that be has acquired the sporting instinct, just as the pointer, the hunter and the terrier certainly enter into the spirit of the sport for which they have been bred and to which, therefore, they owe their exi.iU <•.- London Standard.

One of tiie greatest discoveries of physiology is that we once had alx senses. What the lost sense was no one knows, and probably no one will ever know, but that our forefathers possessed It there Is no doubt, for the remains ot that part of the brain in which It raided are still to be seen in any one of us. These remains are simply a small and now perfectly useless little mass of brain substance called the pituitary liody. It consists of two tiny little oval lobes joined together and lying in n little cavity of the skull, strangely named the sell* turcica and situuted over and behind the nose. It Is quite possible thut It may have enabled our forefathers to see In the dark before lumps and can dles were Invented, or it may have placed them in communion with ghosts and fairies, or It inny have been an organ that enabled them to go home In u l>ee line when they lost their way in the primeval forests. On the other hand. It Is possible that it was n bad substitute for vision or smell or hear ing and died out when the improved sense organ develop'd. Mirrors as Datsctlvss. “It Is not solely to please the lady patrons," said an Interior decorator, “thut mirrors so abound in shops. They serve Hiiother and more lmi*ortant pur pose. They help detect shoplifters. If you should study the various watch ers In the employ of big retail stores you would find that they don’t watch the patrons directly. They look at their reflections In the mirrors. Of course their watching done that way is unperceived. The shoplifter glances atj the watcher, sees that his back Is to her and secretes u pair of silk stock-: logs In her shirt waist. The next mo ment she feels an unfriendly and ter rifying tap on her shoulder, and the watcher, who inis caught her by the mirror’s aid, bids her sternly to ac-' company him to the office."
