TIE Journal Of Commerce thinks that
some people and some newspapers take a
seeming delight in exaggerating the mag
nitude of the present snow storm. They
must have short memories, it thinks, who
cannot recollect seasons much severer
than this. Our present experiences are
but trifles in comparison, for example,
with the winter OF 1s5G-and even since
then, it may be added, we have had sew
eral worse storms than the present vista
tion.

Commercial Value of Insects.

OH Commerce brings into b the
market almost everything that
has being in the water, on the
earth, and in the air, from the
whale that spouts and foams in
the great deep, to the smallest
insect that exists in the land.
The Importance of insects to
commerce is scarcely ever
treatedAof. Great Britain does
not pay less than a million of
dollars annually for the dried
carcass of a tiny insect, the
cochineal. Gum shellac, an
other insect produced from In
da, is of scarcely less pecuniary
value. A million and a half of
human beings derive their able
support for the culture and
manufacture of silk, and the
silkworm alone creates an an
nual circulating medium be-
tween one hundred and fifty
and two hundred millions Of
dollars. Half a million of dol
lars is annually spent in Eng
land alone for foreign money
imported into that country each
year. Then there are the gall
nuts of commerce, used for dye
ing, and in the manufacture of
ink, etc., while the cantharldes,
or spanish fly, is an important
insect to the medical practition-
er, In this way we see the
Importance of certain classes Of
the insect race, while in anoth-

Children's Story.
The Minister and the Marble
Player.
A TRUE INCIDENT.


Many years ago, a certain
minister was going one Sunday
morning from his house to his
school-room. He walked
through a number of streets,
and as he turned corner, he
saw, assembled around a pump,
a party of little boys who were
playing at Marbles. On seeing
him approach they began to
pick up their marbles and run
away as fastas they could. One
little fellow not having seen
him as soon as the rest could
not accomplish this SO soon,
and before he succeeded in
gathering up his marbles, the
minister had closed upon him,
and placed his hand on his
shoulder. They were face to
face, the minister of God, and
the poor little ragged boy who
had been caught in the act of
playing marbles on, Sunday
morning. And how did the
minister deal with the boy :?
For this is what | want you to
observe. He might have said
to the boy: :4s5g ..t
"What are you doing here ?
You are breaking the Sabbath.
Don't you deserve to be pun
ished for breaking the command
of God ?" 7'a
But he did nothing of the
kind; he simply said;
"Have you found your mar
bles ?" a
"No," said the little boy, 81
have not" "'asa 1e. NJ
"Then," said the minister, 81
will help you to find them,"
whereupon he knelt down and
helped looked for the marbles,
and as he did so, he remarked:
81 liked to play at marbles
when a little boy, very much,
and 1 think / can beat you"
"But," he added, "I never play
ed marbles on Sunday"
The little boys attention was
arrested he liked his friends
face, and began to wonder who
he was. The minister said:
q am going to a place where
/ think you would like to be.
Will you come with me ?"
Where do you live ?"
The minister told him where
the house wasaJini
"Why, that's the minister's
house p exclaimed the boy, as
if he did not suppose that a
kind man and the minister
could be the same person.
"Yes," was the reply, 81 am
