Tli© Man Who Wants Confederate Veterans Admitted to the National Soldiers' Homes.

Kniglitstown Banner. George Hazzard, a well-known politician and a member of Custer Post, G. A. R., of Tacoma, Wash., gave notice that he would, on Saturday next, offer a resolution providing that Custer Po3t appoint a committee of five to memorialize Congress for the passage of a law doing away with the distinciton between Federal and C®nfederate veterans, so far as relates to their admission to National Soldiers' Hoates in short that disabled exConfederate soldiers be admitted to the National Soldiers' Homes on exactly the same basis as ex-Union soldiers. The proposed resolution has stirred up much feeling iu the post, many members being outspoken against it. Wily and ever on the lookout for popularity or unpopularity, as the reader may surmise, Hazzard's latest scheme surmounts all other prtvious attempts. George resided a number of years in Henry county, also at Auburn where his reputation is such that he never frequents the city when making his periodical visits throughout Indiana. He is a bad egg, and the people of the West are fast plucking the outer coat from his chameleon ski n.

COLLEGE GIRLS AND MARRIAGE.

Bits of Confession That Throw a Light on the Question.

I havd no doubt that the remaining cause of the low marriage rate is that many men dislike intellectual women— whether because suoh women are really disagreeable or because men's taste is at fault I shall not try to determine. And even among those who like them as friends many feel as the young man did who made this confession: "I never expected to marry the sort of girl I did. You know I always believed in intellectual equality and all that and had good friendships with the college girls. But, you see, you girls hadn't any illusions about us. After you had seen us hanging at the board on problems you could work and had taken the same degrees yourselves, you couldn't imagine us wonders just because we had gone through college, and when I meta dear little girl that thought I knew everything—why, it just keeled me right over. It was a feeling I had no idea of."

And the college woman answered: "I will betray something to you. Lots of us are just as unreformed as you. We want just as much to look up to our husbands as you want to be looked up to. Only of course the more we know the harder it is to find somebody to meet the want. Probably the equal marriage is really the ideal one, and everybody will come to prefer it some day. But personally I like men to be superior to me. Only I'll tell you what I don't like in them—the wish to keep ahead of us by holding us back, like spoiled children that want to be given the game and then admired for their skill. If men would encourage us to do our very best, and then do still better themselves, it ought to be good for civilization."— "The Marriage Rate of College Women," by Milicent W. Shinn, in Century.

No Precedent.

During a session of the territorial legislature of Montana, held more than 30 years ago, a measure was introduced which appeared to some people to involve serious constitutional questions. One man, who was supposed to possess great oratorical powers, declaimed fiercely against the measure, claiming that it was "clearly in opposition to the great principles of Magna Charta, which the brave barons in days of old had wrested from King John, a blessed result of a bloody conflict."

A lawyer, more famed for his sturdy common sense than for erudition, rose immediately to reply to this burst of iiery eloquence, evidently bent on making it clear that he for one v/as not to be overcome by high sounding words or obscure allusions. "It's of mighty little importance what the opinions of King John and his man McCarthy were," he announced firmly, adding that it was high time for legislative bodies of Montana to think and act for themselves without any reference to the principles which governed the remote authorities quoted by his colleague.

The first orator's speech had made some impression, but the retort was received with the enthusiasm which it deserved, and it was owing to his influence rather than that of his more brilliant predecessor that the measure was defeated.—Youth's Companion.

ALL IS NOT PRAYER.

REV. DR. MADISON C. PETERS TELLS OF TWO MEN AT DEVOTION.

The Pharisee's Self Complacent Laudation. Favorably Compares Himself With His Neighbor—The Publican Saya, "God Be

Merciful to Me, a Sinner."

On Sunday morning, Oct. 13, Rev. Madison C. Peters, D. D., of theBloomicgdale church, Boulevard and West

Sixty-eighth street, New York, preached on the parable of the Pharisee and publican, Luke xviii, 9-15. In substance Dr. Peters said:

All is not prayer which goes by that name, and that we may guard ourselves against mistake our Lord shows us what true prayer is by letting us overhear two men at their devotions. The Pharisee sets forth all his good qualities, compares himself with his neighbor to his own advantage. Five times in a brief sentence his self complacent soliloquy swings upon the capital "I."

He went into the highest court and holiest place, taking a position by himself, wearing his religious dress all embroidered around the hem with holy texts, and then lifting his eyes to heaven with sanctimonious gaze of hypocrisy said: "God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are. I fast twice in the week." Fasting from sin is better than fasting for sin. "I give tithes of all that I possess. Herein the modern Pharisee differs from the ancient. He does not tithe his income. He does not give much. Ho is in the church for what he can make out of it. The mo?t orthodox are not the most pious. Men may be externally moral and yet not righteous in the sight of God. Boasting of what we do spoils everything.

The publican was a tax gatherer employed by the Roman government to gather up the customs the Romans laid upon the Jews. He, no doubt, like many public officials now, used his office for his own enrichment. But, politician though be was, the Lord met him and made him think upon his ways and turned his feet unto his testimonies. The publican ohose for himself some secluded corner in the temple, where he should be neither seen nor heard. Every faculty of his body proclaimed the depth of his emotion. His faltering feet stood afar from the altar. He trembled in shame at the abuse of God's mercy. His tear swollen eye was downoast with suspense. His hands, too worthless tc be clasped, beat in indignation his agitated breast, while his mouth cried aloud the language of the bitterest remorse, "God be merciful to me, a sinner." The stirred heart speaks in telegraphs, his pardon is registered in heaven, his conscience is at peace. He takes his harp down from the willows and praises God.

No Playing at Praying.

The publioan did not play at praying. There was no attempt at elaborate phraso mongering. His prayer came without any thought on his part how we would shape it. His prayer is a model for nil sinners who come to God for salvation. He was not much of a theologian, but he knew that he was a sinner, and the man who knows that is not far from the kingdom of God. "Sinner!" Sin to him was not merely a misfortune, a thing to be regretted as a calamity, but sin was to him the thing that dishonored God, an outrage of his law, au insult of his love.

He had nothing to say about his neighbors, the common sinfulness of human nature was not burdening him, his own sins brought him to God. "God be merciful to me."

His confession is directed to one place —to God. Never confess your sins hefore men—i. e., in what respect you have been a sinner. Keep your sins to yourself and to your God.

The publican's cry for "mercy" is significant. The original word, "Be merciful," is the same that signifies "the mercy seat," and denotes the atonement made by the blood, of whioh sacrifices were symbols and types. It refers directly to God's way of salvation as distinguished from the Pharisee's thought of justification on the ground of Lis own righteousness.

What grief, what humiliation, are implied in that one word, a "sinner!" Who can lay his hand upon his heart and say that he is not a sinner in the sight of God? Let us come with clasped hands and with downcast eyes, bleeding hearts, our tears flowing at every step, knowing no other cleansing fountain but the cleansing of the blood of Christ, let us feast upon that sacrifice, and let us cry, "Be merciful to me a sinner," and we may add, "For Jesus Christ my Saviour's sake, "for Christ having now died we know that God is just, and "the justifier of those who believe in Jesus."

Time and again we have repeated this prayer, publicans in form, but, alas, Pharisees in heart! Has our prayer been the prayer of the unrenewed Pharisee, or shall we today depart to our homes justified, with the spirit of the publican?

Perhaps we must all confess with John Benton: I often say my prayera, but do I ever pray? And do tlio wishes of my heart go with tho words I say? I may as well kneel down and worship gods of stone As offer to the living God a prayer of words alone, For words without tho heart tho Lord will never hear, Nor will ho to those lips attend whose prayers .. are not sincere.

How to Make a Mustard Plaster.

A mustard plaster made according to the following directions will not blister the most sensitive skin: Two teaspoonfuls mustard, 2 teuspoonfuls flour, 2 teaspoonfuls ground ginger. Do not mix too dry. Place between two pieces of old muslin and apply. If it burns too much at first, lay an extra piece of muslin between it and the skin. As the skin decomes accustomed to the heat take the extra piece of muslin away.—Ladies' Home Journal.
