The Christian Scieace Monitor said ecently of this method of attracting ublic attention ‘Aside from the fact that window ecoration yields good returns in ad- ertising to those who employ It to that end solely, there is the other con. sidevation that it contributes very largely toward civic attractivenes This applies with equal force to the town or city.

The pure-water problem is being solved by the great cities of America without regard to cost. Boston has converted a great interior valley into a fresh-water lake at a cost of many millions, to secure the metropolis agalnst the possibility of a water fam- ine, New York has depopulated the Catskills, appropriated an entire sec- tion covered with towns. farms and everything pertaining to human life, in order to establish a vast reservoir and bring pure water under the Hud- son, through a tunnel of rock, into the hear: of the city, at a cost of $169,- 009,000. Detroit is spending $8,000,000 to pu- rify its water supply. Los Angeles is spending $23,000,000 to get a pure wa- ter supply from Green river at the snow line 243 miles away. Oklahoma City has an inexhaustible supply of water from the Ozarks, 200 miles away—“the purest water in the world,” as described by United States geologic survey officials who complet- ed thelr two yvears' survey of that re- sion about three years ago. The chief of the party which did the work de- clared in an interview in the Kansas City Journal shortly after its labors were done, that “the waters of the Ozarks, in Missouri and Arkansas, were the purest in the world, owing their purity to the fact that they were filtered from the bow- els of the earth 1,000 feet deep, which process eliminated all vegetaple and mineral matter and left only a trifle more chemical matter than steamed wate Cities far from fresh water lakes and good watersheds have a defence for extravagance in securing to them- selves an abundant supply of good water; but a city situated as Norwich is need not bankrupt itself in order to avail itself of the fresh water Heaven bhas stored hereabouts in abundance { A FAIR INQUIRY.

A government banlk is supposed to have a special fascination for those suspicious individuals who hide their money in pillow slips, niattresses, un- der ¢ in old teapots, coat lin- ings. tobacco cans, hollow bricks, ks or in holes in the ground, but no one ¢ tell why. What kind of 4 citizen is it that will rush to a postoffice to deposit’ money at 2 per cent. iuterest, when safe banks with large surpluses are pay- ing 1-z and 4 per cent. in the same neighborhood? It is easily Imag- inable that in parts of the country where there are few inhabitants and no banks it might be a comvenience to have a postal depositar but in the New England and Middle state: where the government itself is likely to place the deposits for safe keeping in reputable banks, it is the part o folly to seck the postal banks at a sacrifice of interest, especially when some of the banks start a book on a dime and some on a dollar.

He saw that where every- thing praiseworthy was going to the early bird it was possible to make him work, and perhaps to make him trouble by just putting a little energy into life. Under all circumstances the counter is a good thing—it is like soltaire, for it prompts us to test our own ability and to become just a lit- tle cognizant of our @rowing skill. This fellow recognizes the downside —the side of despair—as a side with possibilities worth exploiting. In this Jokelet he implants the seed of hope in new soil, for there was no hope for the worm in that old maxim, “the early bird catches the worm.” This also foreshadows the ability of the early bird to catch something more than the worm. The sequel to the twentieth century maxim is—energy creates chance when and where there doesn’'t scem to be any. There are many simple ways to heip our bretiren and nonme are too poor to do their part. The right word spoken at the right time is more effective than a $20-gold certificate laid down to meet a pressing necessi- ty; and it often excites a gratitud: that never dies. While goodness is generally supposed to excite grati- tude, real goodness does not rely up- on 'gratitude for incitement. The beauty of goodness is like the radiance of the sun—it gleams for the just and the unjust—it blesses without crav- ing reward. Goodness is not con- sclous of its own quality. It finds no pride in power. It is like a pleasing fragrance which steals upon us and o'er us with such gentleness that we recognize its soothing effects and know we have been blessed »ny It, al- though we have no power to behold, or to trace, or to define it. The good word at the right moment impresses | itself with gentleness and yet it takes | a firm hold, and gives new color and new value to a whole life. John Bunyan was a man of clear visd it is mot strangc that he “Religion is the best armor | in the world, but the worst cloak.” As an armor it becomes a man, but as a cloak it does not conceal him | well. If this was better understood | fewer people would indulge in mas- querading with piety. White gauze| cannot be worn over black without | disclosing the denser color beneath | it. To be keen a rogue must under- ! stand the proper combination of col- | ors; and the hypocrite who does not can never play well his part. “Inj knowledge there is power” but in piety there sbould be no guile, for| that is weakness. Those who think religion is a saving grace instead of a saving service have never heard the| call aright. Those who have ears to| hear and eves to see miss the still| small voice and the bow of promise. | have often thought how it would work to tax people according to their | assumption of importance.

The raking of seed is the supreme purpose plant life, and it would be truer per- haps to say that the fruit is incidenta to the seed than that the leaves are incidental to the fruit. But it do look to me as if there was anything incidental about a plant created for | a single purpose, any more than there is to a machine made totake in wite and toss out nails.

I never did. Even in announcing a, sure sign of something in the future, the speaker will preface his statement with, “Now I'm mnot superstitious,” and follow it by gravely remarking that he never knew that especial sign to fail of fulfilment. What is superstition? The dictionaries tell us it is over-credulity in beliefs, or a false belief. Who is to decide which is the false or which is the true? No two persons are apt to agree on any of the signs so often referred to. When does belief merge itself into over-credulity? Settle those points all ye who can. [Meantime let us be indulgent to the foibles of others, lest they remind us that “Those who live in glass houses should throw stones.” “A “green Christmas makes a fat churchyard,” is a relic of olden times from some climate where Christmas weather was expected to include snow and ice. Now ithe world has s broadened, shall we expect Australia and California to accept the same theory that gave rise to the old say- ing? ~ When our California friends write of us out-door blooms and ripe fruits in December, shall we shake our heads anrd foretell woe for them, who may see snow only on the moun- tains in the distance? Much better rejoice with them that they have not to contend with the rigor of our New England winter. This is such a topsy-turvy world, that most of the old sayings can apply only to a smail section of it after ail, and space and time are so annihilated by our mod- ern means of travel that it seems but a step from one extreme to an- other. We are not superstitious. Oh, no! But how many watch the weather for twelve days after Christmas to find out what the months of the coming years will bring us? There seems to be a difference of opinion as to whether Christmas day begins ths calendar, and if one announces, “To- day is the almanac for July,” some one in the group is sure to reply, “Ob, no, it is August.
