It is not enough to begin Jo pray;. to begin a Christian life when faint, or get weary in it. and after a little forsake Christ, give up prayer and go back to tlie worldhot we must pray always.

But it was not ' he .-heajineas of the former that recom- - mended IL The gloss wiUt which It r was finished was a step in advance of any luundrylng thai had teen done at * time.

Yet in time the new collar came to be regarded not ao much a ! si, am as a real article of another ' facta It 'would seem strange that it should almost disappear from view, for even though the linen collar lias come . to be a .comparatively cheap article. It would oeera that paper ought to be able to compete with it. But it has been so. The industry of manufacture 1 ing paper collars has entirely disap- ' pen red from the city of Troy, where it j Had it« birth, and Is confined to New York and Boston, where les» thnn a ' million dollar's worth arc produced 1 annually.

There may still be seen a of accounts with tbe entry, " item, for the king's loss at tennis, twelve* for the loss-of balls, Hiree pence." . The memory of Henry Vlll.'s great ■ .game is still green in the annals of l tennis. He played with the Kraperor ; Maximilian against the X'rinee of r Orange and the Margrave of Brandenand eleven games were played. i anil then the parties agreed to leave off i and consider tlie contest as undecided; i though on what ground this last step . was taken is not Very obvious to the • modern, who has n tendency, to belioye • that one side must havp tlie advantage ■ after an uneven number of g:mtes. Tbe ■ dircrl descendant of tennis is the game • known as the lawn tennis. Though of I comparatively recent origin, its author- . alilp is not loss obscure than dtaL or i .Ii(hins*slettcys; and the warfare already . waged In pamphlets oil the subject Is r probably but a foretaste "of the dispute 1 that will be raised a few hundred years . lumce. when there will have b-en time 1 for several more Inventors to have i claimed the credit of adapting tennis to r the open air. Tennis proper fortunately still survives, though not with the same t vigor whieh characterizes the equally ; ancient king of ball-games — cricket.

with a considerable body of ordinances. Tlielr supreme chief is tlie "sacred polo." It is a cotton-tree which, wanting a ruler, they felled two hundred years ago. mid, having put hair on its head, invested with authority. It Is regularly greased. A prominent wnrrior is believed to have lost his leg from omitting to grease the tJ.le. Scalps are offered it. Omahas are Imaginative in their names. Among them are " ltuslywellow Corn-lmsk," "Stomach Fat." "Forked Lightning W alks," " .She who is Returning Hollowing," ami " She wlm fit Made Muddyhs She Moves." Oiuaha matrimonial law is based, like that of most primitive clans, on the view that the community has all the same ancestors. An Omaha may not wed bis deceased ' wire's sister unless tho dying wife diould have said to her brother, " I'ity your brother-in-law. Let him marry sister." I'olygamy, within limits, is lawful, with the tinit wife's eon sent. A man may not lawfully speak to his wife's grandmother. So strict is the Omaha etiquette about mothers-in-law that a son-in-law will fly from tlie room iu which his mother-in-iaw happens to be. Omahas are cleauly ii their habits; they bathe daily. An untidy manor woman is nicknamed " The man who does not wash his hands," or "The woman who does not comb her hair." They arc so redoubtable as arehcra that they can send an urrow right through a ! bnffnlo. They are skilful in games, , one of which, described as shooting at the rolling wheel, might be i>opular in . Enroi*. Dancing, however, is their , favorite pastime; and they have a variety of societies or clubs, each of ! which owns a characteristic dance. , There is tlie rare buffalo dance, danced . after the recovery of a patient by floc- . tor*, who may invite members of the . horse dance, and not of the wolf dance. ! The grizxly bear dance has not been ! their bodies yellow, nnd one wears a grizzly bear's skin. The scalp dance It a woman's dance. In the ghost dance no woman mky join. i For attaching mouldings and other ' light lumber, a now kind of nail has ' l*cn contrived, which leaves no nail ' holes. It lsjtnade wiUia point at each : end nnd with an ontwardly projecting i hdad or shoulder midway between the i points. Tho nail is first driven into the wend by means of H -punch which 1 ttraddles tho protruding point and bears 1 in the head. AYIien enough have been Iriveu .in, .the moulding is placed over -.lie nails and driven down.
