Nothing shows a man's ill breeding and ignorance so much us his inclination to scoff at religion and the churches. Granted that some church members are not just what they ought to be, they are but the dross and their actions should not be taken as an excuse for directing ill-conceived sillies of ridicule at the great body of well-meaning church goers. The hypocrite is not the proper standard by which to gauge religion and the church.

The Jap Baby. How do you suppose the babies in Japan take an airing? In baby carriages, you say? Os course not. The Japanese never do anything the way we do it. When the baby’s about three days old it goes out for its first glimpse of the world strapped on somebody's back, and that’s the way it goes every day till It can go on its own feet. Sometimes its mother or its nurse takes it, bflt very often it rides on the back of a brother or sister, who is perhaps uot more than four or five years old. These little nurses don't seem to be troubled nt ail by their charges, as you would suppose. They play bull :>nd tag and run races and fly kites in spite of the heavy loads on their backs. What is more remarkable, the babies are perfectly huppy and hardly ever cry, though when their young nurses run with them the poor babies’ faces I bang back and forth against their carei takers’ shoulders till an American baby I would howl wirh pain and rage.—Berj tbit Ruffkle in St. Nicholas. Would Have Tee For III" Eyes. “Want to get off again, do yon?” I roared the boss. “This will be the Sixth time you've been off tills week. What's the trouble now?” “I want to get my eyes examined." | sullenly replied the clerk. "Well, get ’em carefully examined 1 while you’re about it. You'll be look- j I Ing for work after Saturday night.’’-- ■ Pittsburg Post. — I Notice, to the people of Union , township, who have business with the trustee, you will find me ny mail route 12, Decatur, by phone, Monroeville line 154, or personally at my home on Tuesday, which wil . be my office day until further notice ! .is given.
