THE BEGGAR'S FOUNTAIN. RELIGIOUS THOUGHTS. MY SHEPHERD LEADS. JAPAN'S FIRE BRIGADE. The Firemen of the Mikado's Kealm at Their Oymnastle Kxercises.

No countf-y is so much exposed to fires as Japan. In one week recently five thousand houses were burned down in Tokio alone, and in the next week fifteen thousand houses were destroyed in that city, while Sir Rutherford Al-cock states that Tokio loses as many houses as constitute the entire city every ten years.

It is the purport of the above that all useful charity must bo toward increasing our stock of manhood.

"Your tottering brother needs more than your crutch;" men need to give themselves with their money, and to do this each one should be his own executor. Vicarious charity and physical relief, as a rule with few exceptions, debauch both giver and receiver. Emerson says in effect that within every man God is enthroned, and that if you can not help make that evident, do not desecrate the shrine bu go home and investigate if your own is not empty. Chas.

Kellogg, in N. Y. Independent. THE VALUE OF TRUTH. A Klch Man Once Kef used an Angel a Drink of Cold Water.

There is in Italy a fountain over which is the statue of a beggar drinking at a spring. It is called "The Beggar's Fountain," and this is its story: Once upon a time there lived a very proud and haughty man, who hated the poor and set himself above all the world who were not as wealthy and well-dressed as himself, and his want of charity was so great that it had become proverbial, and a beggar would bo more have thought of asking bread at his gate than of asking him tor all his fortune. There was a spring on his land, a sweet spring of cold water, and as it By waters cool and sweet, From livlnf? fountains fed, Wy Bbei jrd loads my eager feet To fn shsr meads ahead. The tender verdure springs And blossoms where we stray; And at each step my glad heart sings, 80 sweet I find the way. "The heat of burning noons Is tempered to my need; all His wisely given boon Are mine before I plead.

More of His love and care I learn from day to day, -And more of His rich bounty share, As by His side I stay. Dear Shepherd, if from Thee My erring feet should rove, OtfMde me kindly, tenderly, And bring me back in love. W. F. McNamara.

A servant was kept upon the watch to drive such persons away.

Now there had never been known before anyone so avaricious as to refuse a cup of cold water to his fellowmen, and the angels, talking among themselves, could not believe it, and one of them said to the rest; danger from fires than they necessarily must always even now be, WORE THAN MONEY NEEDED. It is strange that in these days, when so many young natives have come to Europe to study the sciences, their ac quired knowledge of chemistry has not caused them to adopt some means of "It is impossible for any but Satan himself!

One "sometimes feels that the whole value of life depends on Truth; that it embraces all that goes to make life worth living. So much of the friction, the pain, the disorganization of life is due to lack of truth; so many of us lie passively, keeping silence when truth demands speech clear and free. The majority of us would resent the charge of cowardice with indignation, but often we are not above defending silence by calling it reticence, which we feel is a word that involves the possession of a strong character.

It is an element in a strong character if it does not overbalance equally desirable traits.

Instantly the servant who guarded the spot refused; but the angel, desiring to take news of a good deed, not of an evil one, back to Heaven, went to the master himself, and said: "I am, as you see, a wanderer from afar. See how poor are my garments, how stained with travel! It is not surely at your bidding that your servant forbids me to drink, and even if it is, I pray you bid him let me drink, for I am very thirsty." The rich man looked at her with scornful eyes, and said: "This is not a public fountain; you will find one in the next village." "The way is long," pleaded the angel, "and I am a woman and weak." "Drive her away," said the rich man, and as he spoke, the beggar turned; but on the instant her black hood dropped from ber head and revealed flocks of rippling golden hair her unseemly rags fell to the ground and the shimmering robes that angels wear shone in their place. For a moment she hovered, poised on purple wings, with her hands folded on her bosom and an ineffable sweetness of sorrow in her eyes. Then, with a gush of music and a flood of perfume, she vanished. The servant fell to the earth like one dead.

The rich man trembled and cried out, for he knew that he had forbidden a cup of coH water to an angel, and a horror possessed his soul. Almost instantly a terrible thirst fell upon him which nothing could assuage. In vain he drank wines, sherbets, draughts of all pleasing kinds. Nothing could slake his thirst The sweet water of the spring was Salter to him than the sea fie who never in his life had known an ungratifled desire now experienced the torture of an ever-unsatisfied longing; but through this misery ha began to understand what he had done.

Ever since Eve put women into subjection and petticoats they have been kicking.

Some of their kicks the world has heard of, such as Miss Joan of Arc, who insisted on being Mr. Joan of Arc and wearing the trousers, which women think are the materialized form of a man's privileges. Several of these cases the world knows of and others it sus-peots. It knows very well though, of course, it doesn't introduce the subject when drinking a cup of tea with a fair one that girls often dress in their brothers' clothes.

It only takes one step toward God to put the devil behind you. There would be more good boys if there were more good fathers. One of the first duties every Christian owes to God is to be happy. There are so many folks who never get religion below the ears. Not to rejoice in the Lord is proof that we do not know the Lord.

Living Only for what we can see, proves that we are short-sighted. To be all the time feeling for feeling is a poor way to stay religious. You will always have more left than you have lost until you lose your soul. Ram's Horn. A Gainer Through Love.
