Six days before the Feast of the
Passover, -Jesus cams to Bethany,
where Lafcarus lived, whom He
had raised from the dead. There
they made Him a supper; and Mar
tha, one of Lazarus’ sisters, served
and Lazarus sat at the table with
Him. Then Mary, the other sis
ter, took a pound of very costly
ointment of spikenard, and anoint
ed the feet of Jesus and wiped His
feet with her hair; and the house
was filled with the perfume of the
ointment
Then the traitor, Judas Iscariot,
complained of the waste of the oint
ment, saying thatjthe money should
have been given to t£e poor. Not
that he cared for the poor, but he
was a thief and wanted the money
given to him, ns he was the treas
urer.
But Jesus said, “L?t her alone:
agaiDst the day of My burying
she hath kept this. For the poor
always ye have with you; but Me
ye have not always.” He had told
them that 3e was to be put to
death, and to be buried, and
rise from the dead on the third
day; and He had appointed a place
ia Galilee to meet them after His
resurrection; but they did not be
lieve His words for they could not
understand wbat He was talking
about. Although it had been
plainly prophecied that He must
first pass through humiliation and
death, and then come in His glory,
they coaid not believe even though
He said it that the Son of God who
was also the Sou of mau could suf
fer at the hands of man.
But Mary believed every word
that her Lord had said, and was
annointiug His body for burial.
How different was the faith of the
loving women, among whom was
His mother, who spent their mon
ey for spices to annoint His dead
body in the grave on the third day,
when He had so plainly told them
to meet His living body in Galilee
on that day. Theirs was a labor of
love, and was so for accepted; but
it was not a work of faith.
They believed in their Lord and
so had eternal life; for He had
said, “He that believetb on Me
hath everlasting life ... I give on
to them eternal life; and they shall
never perish.” But their faith
stopped short of believing all that
He said. Do we believe all? He
said “If I go away I will come
again.” Are we looking for Him
to beep Hie word?,Do we as certain
ly expect to see His body on this
earth again as did Maiy of Beth-,
any, no matrer how difficult it may
be to understand? Centuries be
fore, Job had said, “In my flesh
shall I see God... He shall stand
at thejlatter day upon the earth,
Value Of Self-ednca Ion.
Are we confidently saying in the
words of the Book, “I believe God,
that it shall be even as it was ipld-
me,” and Jesus has told every be
liever to watch for Him and to love
His appearing,” Abraham believed
God, and it was accounted to him
for righteousness, and God called
him “Abraham My friend.” “Lord,
I believe; help Thou mine unbe
lief.”

Edward Bok answers a girl cor
respondent who inquires “ How
can one learn other than at college
aud still realize the highest liv
ing?” In the April Ladies’ Home
Journal. “-The inestimable value
of mental training,” he says, “is
undeniable for girl or boy, man or
woman. But mental training is
not alone to be bad at the college
or university. It can be bad more
systematically there, perhaps, but
not more effectively than anywhere
else if the desire to learn and stndy
is present in the heart. There is
a mistaken idea present with many
that we go to college to get a cer
tain amount of information or a
number of facts iu oar heads.
The legitimate use of all colleges
is mental discipline: in other-words
the training of cur faculties so that
they will be of use to us as tools.
The school, Ihe-college or the uni
versity is simply a beginning of
oar learning. It gives ns not
learning, but trains us how to
learn in after years. For the life
of a woman, like that of a man, be
gins after-college has been jeft be
hind.
“Now mental discipline may be
just as easily acquired at home as
at college, provided a girl so wills.
What developed the hundreds
of thousands of women »v/ho never
went to college, and yet who are
to day women of the very finest
minds? Not one in five thousand
girls in this country caD or ever
will go th college. That is possi
bly only for the smallest minority.
Yet the majority will not fail of
the ‘highest living’ because the op
portunity of an academic training
was withheld from them. Self-de
velopment is far more lasting than
mental training, because it calls
for greater effort, and efforts, well
directed, are of themselves the
greatest means of development we
have. What we find GuUbHrselves
remember better and longer
than what is.taught or told ns.’
Gov. Stone of Fennsplvania has
made a common-sense decision
in the matter of the proposed
“Dewey day” holiday. He has ve
toed the bill creating the new hol
iday, on the ground that the state
does not need another day on which
idleness must be enforced. The
fact is, the calander might well be
revised and abont one-half of the
holidays cut out of it, without any
body suffering loss. On the other
band, a great many persons would
be gainers.
A widower married a second
time, and bis choice was a wealthy
lady abont 50 years of age. When
the bride and the bride groom re
turned home from the wedding, the
nuBband, introducing-the wife to
his children, said: “My dear child
ren, kiss this lady. She is the
new mamma I promised to bring
you.”^After taking a steady look
atjthe “new mamma,” little Charlie
said: “Pa, you have been cheated.
She isn’t new at all!”—Tit-Bits.
America s Fay England Taxes.
The English capitalists who came
to this country a few years ago and
invested a great deal of money in
breweries, baying controlling in
terests in them and making En
glish institutions of them, are, by
a recent decision of the highest
coart of England, compelled to pay
the English income tax on the en
tire income of the breweries. These
breweries are situated in different
parts of the country, Borne of the
largest of them being in Chicago.
One of the Chicago concerns was
taken as a teat case, and the de
cision was against it, the English
courts holding the breweries were
English institutions. The Eng
lishmen who bought these brewer
ies were told by Americrn lawyers
at tbe time they bought them that
if they organized them nnder Eng
lish laws they would have to pay
the income tax on the entire Jin-
come of them, besides paying the
taxes of this country levied for
city, county and state purposes.
What they will do, of course, is
to reorganize the companies and
make American institutions of
them. Under the present condi
tion of affairs, the American stock
holders in the breweries have to
help pay the income tax of Eng
land. The amount which Chicago
citizens pay is estimated to be be
tween $25,000 and $50,000 a year.

ican tourists without makipg Amer

The New York Evening Post
(Iod.) illustrates our benevolent
intentions in oar war with Spain
and subsequent developments, with
a little fable thus: “A charitable

succulent goat, interfered to resene
him from the clntciies of a blood
thirsty tiger. The tiger, being of
haughty lineage, resisted fierce-

An Irish daily prints the follow
ing indignant protest from “A Cyc

near Healy’s bridge a foxey terrier

bit me on the calf of the leg, from

dog, I understand, belongs to a

yet eits on the bench in jadgment

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,

caught cold, which settled on her
Inngs; she was treated for a month
by her family physician, but grew
worse. He told- her she was a
hopeless victim of comsumption
and that no medicine could cure
her. Her druggist suggested Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Con
sumption; she bought a bottle and
to her delight found herself bene-'
fited from first dose. She confin-
ned its nse and after taking six
bottles,'found herself sound and
well, now does her own housework
and is as well as she ever was.
