Amateur photography is a popular fad and is ge common among tourists that in making ocean lners their every convenience cannot be ignored. Not the least attractive feature of the mox ocean iiner is the com- pletely equipped dark room placed at the disposal of passengers. Omne or mone cabins, conveniently located, are set aside for the purpose. The dark room is supplied with metal tanks, Tunning water, racks, trdvs, and all possible equipment, together with elctric ruby lamps which may be switched on or off. As a rule. this room will permit several people to work together, if they desire. An ex- perienced photographer is placed in charge of the ship's dark rooms on the steamers of the Hamburg-Amer- iran line, who will coach amateur photographers or develop and print pictures, if desired. A complete stock of photographic supplies is, of course carried aboard. It is a common sight 10 see a tourist who has taken a snap- shot on deck, for instance, appear a few hours later and display the fin- ished mounted photograph. The ocean voyager arrives with pictures taken en voyage finished as perfectly as they would be ashore. THE MAN WHO TALKS The human mind is full of unrest and is always Hkely to be; and this may be because the human mind has never been able to discover just what it wants. Perhaps half the vices of life are the outcome of the minds of men to Co something different, rather than to do something mean. We do not know what makes men take to evil ways. There seems to be wisdom in that old saying: “Evil associations corrupt gdod manmers;” but there have ‘been exceptions to this rule as well as to all the others. One near-philoso- pher is screaming for the prophet who is to tecach the human race how 1ic have fun and plenty of it without in- jury to themselves or any one else. He' say The old and the dull and the sick’ know how to be good; but what {s wanted ls a recipe that will direct to goodness the man full of physical electricity, moral dynamite and spiritual flame.” Ths men of the world in search of larger jiberties and groater exaltation seem to lose thei~ way, because of their misccnception of the things sought. Perhaps there will be a day when joliity and piety will be companions: and virtuous moodiness will be regarded as an of- it in delivered to over 900 heuses. in Puimsm and Damiclson 5 over 1,100, and im all of theme places it is conmidered the loeal daily. ha Eastern Commecticat nine tewus, ome humdred five postetfice dimtricts, amd forty- ome rural free delivery row The Belled weld in every town amd om all of the R.

Report blanks for that say 2 good rain now would do fense. We have all noticed that if the sar- dan truck grew as freely as weeds do, regardless of the eather, work would be decreased and the prices of producing garden truck also. Gocl made the weeds hardy and they comz trotting along under all circumstances just as if they were designed to sym- bolize a defiant spirit; and doubtless they wers, for it is the battle with the hoe which makes the farmer a con- queror and his crops an achievement. It would not be an achievement to grow crops if they had the wezdy habit - and speed. Charles Dudiey Warner came to the conclusion that weeds were not a creation of the dev- il's to maka trouble. for he saw the Divine Providence in creating them for the purpose of keeping men from Retting lazy. If the Oversoul had not so planned life that man weuld have to work for all the good things he the human race would have just ented shifilessness Man would s have been like the monkey under a palm tree waiting for the co- coanuts to drop in his lap. Some of the things we most deplore represent the highcst wisdom. When city boys are sowing their wild oa ome fathers think that farm 1ife wouid be tha best thing for them. 0! course. they know that sowing wild s is not farmin and that in the field of agriculturs this would +be no recommendation to _ promote tie chsnces of an dpprenthe ‘The object is to turn wastsd energy to a useful | pursuit, and th is_no doubt the enuotis work of the farm might fur- nish a check for this vouthful habit.

Between homesick ness and fear of work a cure is often eficcted. “ft is surprising, wheh nature warm ed up, how quickly the blossoms came.

This is their only lows have sensational (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) All day and for several days a line from an old song has been floating through my brain, and it will force itself into public notice in spite of all my efforts to keep silent. Not that I have tried to silence it, for it is cer- tainly true in these days: “Oh, World, thou art so Fair,” “Oh, World, thou art so Fair!” Who has not realized it during these days of summer weather in May? Years ago I heard Anna Bracket, a noted educator, speak in this city on some school topic. In talking with her after the lecture, she said: “Your city is so delightful just now, and the greens ore so beautiful” She was here at just about this time of year, and expressed herself as charmed with our hills clothed in the soft greens of their new spring costumes. Lately 1 have noticed in the papers that her carcer was ended, and let us hope her useful life, spent largely In labors for others, has earned for her a rest from toll and an opportunity to enjoy ihe beauty and refreshment of a world fairer even than this. Who does not rejaice in these soft tones of new foliage, and the early blossoms of the season? The children troop by to school, their chubby littls hands grasping tightly a bunch of blue violets “or vellow dandelions, or other wild flowers, an_affectionate ‘gift to teacher, who is expected to be able to name évery specimen offered to her. Branches of fruft trees are among the assortment, and a great variety they furnish in ‘color. Children notice so much, if their taste is left to develop itself, and very pretty are their expressions of admira- tion at times. A little girl a few days ago, showed me a flag which she had arranged In a box, the stripes being formed from the red blossoms of the flowering quince and white plum blos- soms, while a bunch of blue violets up_in one corner gave the needed finish to her patrietic sentiment ought out in this floral display. 1 knew so much Jess than she of the details of fruit blossoms, that I said: “The pear blossoms are very pretty, are they not?” A look of surprise at my ignotance swept over the child’s face as she an- swered: “Those are plum blossoms; they are muoh whiter than the blossoms of the pear, and make the flag look more beautiful.” Surely the amount of superior wis- dom which can come from a child’s eyes is quite crushing at times. We used to think fruit blossoms should not be plucked, but of late it has been stated that the fruit is better and more abundant for the thinning out of the blossoms, so the branches of the: cherry, apple, plum and peach are taken more freely than formerly, and a beautiful variety :they furnish. For many years one apple tree in town was my especial admiration; a perfect dome in shape, when in full bloom it seemed a huge bouquet sym- metrically arranged, its fragrance adding a charm to the lovely pink blossoms that covered it, and calling forth exclamations of delight from all who came within reach of its beau- ty. A drive just now about our sur- rounding countryside will afford much gratification, if only the direction lis through a neighborhood of apple-or- ‘We Yanl do mot say S0 et it, but among my Sifcle of acquéiniances T many who make a point of trolley rides at this time that they may en- Joy the apple-orchards on the way- Fortunate, indeed, are they who can take time for a stroll ~afield while spring is awakening her children in all-their beds. and arousing them to thelr task of making this falr old world more beautiful.

Of how many a common flower might it be said: “T little thought what wealth the show to me aad £ Fortunate, indeed, are they who can revel in Nature's display of early blooms and listen to the greetings of her returning songsters as one by one they resume their former places in our midst. But what of those who canmot go out to greet their old friends in birds and flowers! The busy life of a work-a-day world pre- vents the majority of every commu- nity from such _intercourse. What shall they do? Onme of my neighbors solved the problem for herself by opening wide the doors and windows while she was about her work. She said_she opened her mind and heart to Nature's influences at the same time. She did mot make quite s0 many pies as some of her neighbors, but she seemed very happy without them. and certainly she and her fam- ily were very well. Then one’s own garden patch, how- ever small it be, furnishes much pleas- ure as we watch the annual return of one after another of our last year's acquaintance in root and shrub. How eagerly we watch the soil for the first signs of our last years pets! Yes, the “Lilies of the valley” are coming up all right, and there are the daffo- dils pricking their way to the air. Here arc the peonies at last! We were so afraid that they might have been trodden upon during the winter. How we fear the ice and cold may have killed some favorite shrub, but it is sprouting finely after all. Mother Nature lays them down to sleep in the autumn, but she calls them all by name in early springtime, and with filial love they respond to her sum- mons, and at her bidding do their best to make the world “so fair.” To my mind, the spring awakening of plant and blossom, With the re- turn of bird, bee, and insect is the fairest of all seasons. There is so much of the elements of hope and expectation in the eariy epring days. Flowers are full of this thought. Why else do we use them as we lay our dead away, if it be not for the com- fort we find in them as emblems of a comtinuance of life? Why else are they used at Easter time if it be not that they point to a resurrection of joy, even though it be preceded by a time of sadness and gloom. ‘We knew the flowers and birds would come again and now rejoice in the thought that they have not dis- appointed us. “Oh, World, thou art so Fair!™ AN IDLER. performance, and as a sign of spring it is always dependable. Many a truth is said in jest. Here is one: Do no* ba disturbed because the other fellow has got what you wanted, for it may ruin him”~ A man has to ge: well along in years be- fore he learns that things he has miss- ed would have done him more harm than good, although he feit a keen disappointment when he found that they were not within his reach. in other words, pretty bright men do not alw: knew what is best for them, and the faflure to get their desi though zccomyanied with keen regre fre ently later on regarded hav- been a blessing. Men have a hab- it of thinking they know what they wart, just as many have of thinking they think when they do nething of the kind Life with muititude of men just runs in ruts, and their lim- ited mental area does not give them rocm to think. In too many cases thsir convictions, as well as their pre- jucdices, are a bar to progress. Many 2 man is over-trained, and that does not contribute to breadth of mind or freshness of idess.

Steadfastness is one of the most commendable and desirable of the Christian virtues but the “standpatter” is not always a person to be admired. It his immovability is the product of careful and conscientious thought, it may beabulwark in the midst of the storm and stress of modern life. but if he has attained this immovability at the cost of hermetically sealing his mind to the truth, if it be the outcome of @ belfish pursuit of s own inter- | est. if it represents an unwilingness to hear the other side or to improve up- on_existing methods, then the “stand- patter” can fairly be called opinion- ated and obstinate. If the standpat_attitude in business and politics is discredited it surely ought not to pass as current coin ‘n the affairs of religion, for ihat is a continually expanding interest of the human mind. Here is the great fiel of religious truth. Have you reached the point of absolute ceriainty and fixity in regard to every doetrine? Better to confess with St. Paul: “We { know iu part” You have satisfactory assurance concerning a few, fund mental things, but if Paul with his visions and dreams was conscious that only a fraction of Gol's truth has been revealed to him, we evaryday morta's ought to avoid dogmatizing on mat- ters concerning which it is possible PURE RICH.

I know a prominent church member Wio 18 just now sorely grisved because his_daughter at college has imbibea certain views which he deems hereti- cal and destructive of faith: but which shn declares have made the Bible a new and interssting book to her and quicken>d her spiritval life. No par- ent ought to expect that his children intellectual conclusions _which he formed thirty vears ago. Better trust the new genevation to work out its own faith in its own wav and believe that it wil come to the truth by which it will serve the world. But the religious standpatter, who balks at new methods of church work, is sometimes more hard to live and labor with than the man who sticks to his old theology. Machinery that served good uses in the mills twenty years ago is now on the junk heap. The kind of methods, like the Meth- dist class meeting, for example, which in former years served worthy needs does not now appeal to -the modern mind and heart. Just to shift around the Jocation of the chairs in prayer meeting, or to put young men in as ushers in place of the deacons, or to bring_the_stereopticon into the pulpit of a Sunday evening, or to start the boys cleaning up the streets and lawns of the towns, or to put the benevo- lences on a really businesslike basis, may be the thing needed to vitalize the church afresh and make it count for something in_the life of the com- munity. What Dr. Samuel McComb of Boston savs in his recent book is eminently true: “The institution which claims to represent the Christian relig- ion, to incarnate the spirit of itsfound- er,’and to realize his ideals, is_the church. There is a widespread feel- ing that the church is not substantiat- ing these claims. When its achieve- ments are set alongside the life and work of the Son of Man, they appear to be seriously deficient, both in quan- tity and in quality. But the personal life that stands pat is not simply halting, it is going backward. “To_be as good as our fathers,” said Wendell Phillips, “we must be better” And it is equally true that to be as good tomorrow as we were yesterday, we must be bet- ter. It has pleased me lately to no. tice the transformation in an elderly man, a church member, for many years, who up to a short time ago was tart, grouchy, complaining, easily ir- ritated, but ho has recently devel- oped an altogether unprecedented sweetness and serenity of temper. He has_not been to any revival meetings, so far as I know, and I have no rea- son to think that he has had any ion by night, or that any particu- lar, single influence has effected this change. Al I know is that, whereas he would have been called a standpat in personal religion up to within a year, he now has a high ranking among those who are daily growing in grace. Come to think of it, should not this be the usual and not the extraordi- nary thing for all disciples of the Master? THE PARSON. No Return Engagement.
