All methods fail S-KV* tives. vithout right mo¬ If we are nothing but sponges de¬ pend upon it God will send us the pressure of pain to squeeze us. He who is wise in his own conceits is apt to be foolish in his own con¬ cerns. : The wise man will hide his knowl¬ edge where fools are laying out their ignorance. He who loves Him leans on Him and be who leans loves Him more and more. It is no use asking God to warm your heart while you are living in the Artie of sin. Some men are kicking up a dust in the church to hide the dirt they make in the world. God’s heroes are known ia heaven whether their pictures appear in the papers of earth or not. The grace to do small things may be greater than the gilt of doing great things. Every groan on God’s grindstone may mean a greater glisten in His polished stone. In Florio’s Shoes. I welcomed Florio Vincenzo when he came over to become one of us. He had no doubts of the future, for he wooed the Godesa of Gpod boldly. Florio Is fourteen; he came from Palermo. He traveled light. When be opened his cheap paper va¬ lise, it was apparently empty, save for a pair of discredited and disreputable old shoes. Florio bowed, cap in hand, and his white teeth flashed as he smiled suavely: “I am a poor man, nobleman, seeking my fortune.” There was an odor that an old inspector knew. Tie picked up one of the shoes and extracted from it, after somo manipulation, a creased and crumpled hunk of Bologna sausage. The other shoe was stuffed w.Hi a soft sticky and aggressively fragrant mass of Italian cheese. These articles and a sum of Italian money equivalent to about $1.80, and the clothes he stood in, formed the basis on which Florio expected to rear his fortune.—World’s Work. The Suez canal was begun in 1859 in SPEAKING OF SOUP. Hott It Was Served in a Primitive Ger¬ man Hostelry* “Speaking of soup,” said n prominent musician who lias traveled over a good part of the earth, reminds me of an ex¬ perience I had some years ago while ia one of the .provinces of Germany I had stopped over in a small town for a day or two, and was at the best hotel in the place. This is not saying a great deal, for the patronage did not justify anything like gorgeousness in the mat¬ ter of service or in the kind and char¬ acter of the food furnished the guests. The proprietor, at any rate, was doing the best that he could, and no doubt, I would have got along all right but for the peculiar method they employed in serving soup. I have never seen (he method employed in any other place, and to be candid about it, 1 have not been on the lookout for the unique way of serving the first mini her on the menu. The first intimation I had of the curious practice was when a big, heavy Hollander, with a husky voice, who had rushed up behind me, asked ‘Soup7’ ‘yes,’ I replied, and before I knew what had happened he had squirted the soup out into my plate. I was surprised and shocked and not a little puzzled at first, because I did not know how the waiter had managed to squirt the soup inlo my plate so quickly. 1 had expected him to bring my soup in the usual way, in a plate. But he shot tile soup over m.v shoulder before the echo of the ‘.ia’ had left my lips. I watched him make the round of the table. He had the soup in a recep¬ tacle of some sort, that looked like a cross between a bagpipe and something else, and it worked with a suction-rod arrangement. If a guest wanted soup he would press the rod a#.the liquid would interestlngAenough, squirt out im<*be^”. 1 my It was life, I couldn’re<i Y ttr<g '; I couldn't eat anything else in the place. I suppose it was all right, but I simply couldn’t stand for it, and when I left the place I was nearly starved.” —New Orleans Times-Democrat. Stars by Dnyliprlit. “Are the stars visible to ordinary sight iu the daytime?” asks E. Walter Maunder in Knowledge. “There is a widespread tradition that they are; that if an observer places himself at the bottom of any deep shaft—as of a mine, a well or a factory chimney— which may shut off scattered light and reduce the area of sky illumination act¬ ing on the retina he will be able to dis¬ cern the brighter stars without difficul¬ ty. Of course, every one knows that Venus from time to time may be seen even at high noon, hut then Venus at her brightest is many times over brighter than Sirius. Then, again, the assistance of a telescope enables the brighter stars to be discerned at mid¬ day, but the telescope not only directs the eye and greatly limits the area from which the sky light reaches the observer, but it enormously increases the brightness of the star relative to that sky illumination. The naked eye observation of true stars in full sun light stands in quite a different cate gory. Humboldt, who was much inter¬ ested in the question, repeatedly tried the experiment in mines, both in Sibe¬ ria and in America, and not only failed liimself ever to detect a star, but never came across any one who had succeeded. Much more recently an American astronomer set up a tube for the express purpose of seeing the Pleiades by daylight, also with no ef¬ fect.” Recollections of Youth. Standing on the stern of an outgoing Staten Island ferryboat at South Ferry the other day was a gray haired old man who appeared to be greatly inter¬ ested in the proceedings. “This is interesting," he said, as be turned to me, for lie evidently wanted to talk to some one. “This primitive method of fastening and loosening a ferryboat carries me back to the days of my childhood. It is the same wind¬ ing of noisy cog wheels, and the same straining and pulling of heavy gang¬ planks by four men hardly equal to the task. “Back in 18oo, when I lived in Cam¬ den and xvent to school in Philadelphia, I used to see that same sort of a pro¬ ceeding, and wondered then if there wasn’t a better, quicker, easier and more quiet method of fastening a ferry¬ boat in its slip. It appears that there is not, for after forty-seven years I see exactly the same method used in all its primitive simplicity. Strange, isn’t it?”—New York Herald. NO. 23.
