Praise God.
A Fable For Women.
There was once a Wo
his Retiring Early.
“Only In this Way will he he able
to get Enough Sleep,” she said.
Her Husbftnd, who usually 'Endear- ;
ored to Please her, rose Withoirt Com
plaint at Six O’clock, but Continued
tp stay Out Late. Perceiving that her
Purpose was not Accomplished," the
Woman changed the Hour to Five
O’clock. ;
“The Morning Hours are the Best for
Work,”, she said, “and I understand
that the Morning Air possesses Great
Virtues.”
Her Husband Objected, but Rose at
Five, as she Wished.
Still he continued to Come In Late.
Then the Woman fixed the Hour at
Four-thirty- :
, “I have always enjoyed Seeing the
Sun Rise,” she said.
“in that Case,” said her Husband
decidedly, ‘T Shall Not go to bed At
All;' since it would Not be Worth my
While. I will Stay up All Night and
thke my Sleep at My Office in the
Afternoon. So We will have Break
fast, at Three O’clock if,you like,”
This teaches us that the Early Worm,
will Turn.—Century.'^ i

thousands of boys and girls will go plan to Cure him of this. Her Plan
to sleep to-night without a mother was to Rise Early in order to Insure

Praise God for food and clothes.
Millions of persons are hungry tp T
day, and many of them are suffering
for want of clothing.
Praise'God that you do not lift
blind eyes to-a sky: you have never-
seen. Be grateful for your sight,
through which so many of your
pleasures come. Praise the kind,
Father in Heaven, too, for your
hearing and speech.
Are not the sun, the moon, the
stars, the air, the water, the rain,
the snow, the trees, the flowers,
worth a world of praise? Yet how
seldom do we thank God for these
common blessings!
Praise God for the wonderful in
ventions and progressive spirit which
make to-day the. best time in all the;
world’s history to be alive. The
comforts, conveniences, pleasures
and blessings .that are possible to all
of us in these modern days are sure
ly worth a “thank you” to the Great
Giver of them all. ’- ;
Praise God for the past year’s
prosperity. He smiled upon t our
harvests and upon our factories. Bet
us rejoice with those to whom it was
a year of good things.
Prais8 God, most of

a wonderful Savior. Jesus is the
theme of the praises that, are sung
in Heaven ; r shall - he not -be our chief,
cause for praise here?
How shall we do all this jiraising?
"With our lips/' In bur hearts. By
our lives; dust to be glad and grate
ful is the praise that; pleases God.
Then to give another person reason
to be glad and grateful is still a bet
ter way of praising God.—William

Unlucky Men Are All Alike.
“The unlucky men are all kin; they
all have certain qualities alike,” says
“An American Mother” in the Feb
ruary; Ladies’ Home Journal. “They
have qyes keen to look into the root
of tilings, but which also dream
dreams and see visions; they have
hot human blood, they love or hate
in no halfrway measure. To each of
them, too, comes at times—no mat
ter what the business or pursuit may
be by which they strive to push their
way among men and to grow rich—
a sudden disgust of it, heartfelt and
real, a contempt for the work and its
successes. They dream qf something
before them better than money or
office, and they try to clutch at it.
So they go through life, groping for
success, with one hand.: and for their
dream Wvith the other, andA-they
lose both. We must choose either
God or Mammon as master and keep
faith with him if we mean to suc
ceed.”

Liquids at meals if taken too often or
Ttoo carelessly are liable to dilute the
gastric juices. Take no liquid of any
kind when food is in the mouth. Take
as little' as possible till the close of the
meal. The digestive agents themselves
being fluids, it is reasonable to suppose
that an' excess of liquids taken with
the food will have a tendency to dilute
and thereby weaken the digestive
juicesi—Ladies’Home Journal.
Too Well Disguised.
“After all.” suggested the cheerful
one,“it may be a blessing in disguise.
“If so,” returned the disgruntled One,
“I may say that I never saw a more
perfect disguise.”—Washington Post.
