I ra- ceivod not very long ago a letter from an old school fellow, a clergyman, who, after long nnd arduous labor, was in want of clothes, and almost of food. I inquired che cause, it was drink. A few weoks ago a wretched clergyman came to me in deplor able misery, who had dragged down his family with him into ruin.

CHRISTIAN AMBITION A few evenings since I was reading the Creek Testament, when my son asked whether any word in the Greek encouraged Ihe exercise of ambition and the seeking of honor. I have lound such a word, its meaning being ambition, the love of honor he love of distinction. I t is three times used I believe we have come so murli to regard humility the cardinal virtue of Christianity tbat wc may have forgotten the Christian mould be ambitious, fthink he should be .he most ambitious person on earth. To whom is the promise of eternal life spoken but to those who iu patient endurance in well-doing seek glory, honor ami immortal ity, than which there cannot be a much higher ambition ' We sometimes fall into the peril of being proud of our humility flumiiitv is sometimes only pride turned w rong side out, just as you turu a garment aud dye it nnd refit it. A person says \I f I can get into heaven at lasi I am willing to occupy a back seat \ Hut Scripture very certainly indicates tbat you are to seek not only barely to get into heaven, but \and so in abundant cntranco shall be given you into the kingdom of God.\ The back seats are all spoken tor, nnd God wants us to get is near the throne ns possible. Romans x v , 20, is a most extraordinary statement You might think a mnn who wanted to build a house would prefer to have a lot where the fouudation had already been laid for him. But the apostle wants a lot to build a house where the sod has not been broken. That is not our idea, for when I was choosing my Held o f labor I thought the opposite I f I nrn to win the most souls, let me get where there is a good fouu dation of hereditary piety and orthodox faith \ I made that mistake bei-ause I ap- , prehended preaching the Gospel for success, but not preaching it for a witness. I don't -ay that we should not preach the Gospel for success, but our first dutjr is to preach it for a witness. Our tirst business Is, not to build^i house, but to build a highway — ' Ue% A.

The Romans took their meals lying upon very low couches, and It was not until about the time of Charle magne thit a stand was used, around which guests were seated on cush ions, while tho table made its ap pearance in the middle ages, and with it came benches with backs. The Greeks and Romans ate from a kind of porringer, \ct during a por tion of the middle ages slices of bread cut round took the place of plates. The spoon is very ancient, and many line specimens are in existence that wero used by the Egyptians in the spventeenth century 13. C. The knifo —though very old—had not come into common use as a table utensil in the tenth century. The fork was abso lutely unknown to the Greeks and Romans, appeared only as a curiosity in the middle ages, and was first used upon the table by Henry III . Drink ing cups—in the middle ages, mado from metal, more or less precious— naturally date from the remotest antkjult} The use of glasses, from Venice, began to be general in the fifteenth century. The salt cellar appeared at a very early date, and occupied th\ placo ot honor at the banquets of the Greeks and Romans, manv of them boing of gold and sil- ver. The castor is probably not older than tho sixteenth century. A Costly lToH's'XfcrtaMr, The costliest doll's houso probably In the world is that made by a resi dent of Chicago for his 4-ycar-old daughter, at a cost of $3,-500.

It has a little flight ol steps leading up to the solid, oak front door, and an electric push-bell for the convenience of the baby visitors ol the happy mistress of the house. O D this door—which, by the way, is four feet high—is the name of tbe proprie tor on a silver plate. There is a hall way lighted by a miniature gas lamp suspended from tbe ceiling, and it is finished in the choicest of hardwoods. There are umbrella and hat racks of appropriate dimensions. Elegant draperies cover the folding doors, and the parlor is fitted up in grand style, i'he furniture is all of white enamel wood, covered with white brocaded silk.
