In his autobiography Ia Ten Min
ute Talks Elihu Burritt tells how he
studied mathematics. He couldn't af-
ford to attend school, 80 he used tn do
problems Sin his head while hammer
ing away at his anvil; here Is one Of
them: How many yards of cloth, three
feet in width, cut into strips inch wide,
and allowing half an inch to each end
for the lap, would 1t require to reach
from the centre of the sun to the centre
Of the earth, AID how much would II
all cost at a shilling a yard?' He wo'd
not allow himself to make o single fig
ure with chalk or charcoal in working
out this problem, and he would carry
home to his brother all the multiplica-
tions in his head, and give them of to
him and his assistant, who took them
down on their states, and verified and
proved each separate calculation, and
found the final result to be right.

Religious Faith or Agassiz.

cannot close this basty and made
quate, yet fervent and hearty tribute,
without calling to your memory the
reverent spirit in which he pursued his
scientific labors. Nearly forty years
ago, in his first great work on fossil
fishes in developing his principle OF
classification, he wrote: "An invisible
thread in all ages runs through this
immense diversity, exhibiting, as Q
general result, the fact that there is q
continual progress in development,
ending in man. The four classes of
vertebrates present the intermediate
steps, and invertebrate are o constant
accessory accompaniment. Have we
not here an immense mind, as power
full rs prolific, the acts of an intelligence
as sublime as provident, the marks Of
a goodness as infinite as wise, the most
palpable demonstration of the existence
of a personal God, the author of all
things, ruler of the universe, and dis.
penser Of all good? This, at least is
what read in the words of creation"
But it is what he ever read, with pro-
found ave and admiration. To this
exalted faith he was invincibly loyal.
Now laws of nature were to him as the
eternal word of God. His repugnance
to Darwinism grew in great part from
his apprehension of its atheistical ten
dency-an apprehension which, at best,
/ cannot share, for ] forget not that
those theories now In the ascendant are
adopted by not q few determined Chris
tian men, and while they seem to me
not only unprOvable, I could deem
them truth without parting with one
iota of my faith in God and Christi
Yet l can best sympathize most hearth
ly with him in the spirit with which
he resisted what seemed to him to
lessen the majesty of the Master and
supporter of the Universe. Nor was
his mere theoretical faith. His whole
life, in its pervading spirit of service,
in its fidelity to arduous duties, in its
simplicity and truthfulness, bespoke
one who was sincerely fulfilling mis-
sion from God to his fellowmen.-Dr.
Pea6ody's Memorial Sermon.

Above Story Told by Henry Ward
Beeeher ON SUNDAY

Tom was strapping, healthy boy,
with great appetite. He lived up In
the mountains among the charcoal
burners until he was 10. Then he
went down into the valley and hired
out to farmer. Tom was a scullion
and drudge, and fi,st along the farm
er hesitated to trust even the hogs to
his care. But there was a glimmering
of something in him that showed Just
u little through his uHcCuthneSs. After
iaborer-a broad-shouldered, deep
chested, powerful fellow, who made
himself clumsily useful. Well, about
that time the farmers daughter came
home from school. What revelation
she was to Tom. He never knew until
then what it was to worship anything,
nor how awkward and coarse be was.
He would have given all he had,
which was not much, to learn how to
get into q room without hitting the
door, or what to do with his hands, or
how to sit down right. He began to
change his clothes for better ones when
he came in from the days work, and
there was about him the dawning of
Finally the great day
came. He stood trembling before the
farmers daughter, the hard word was
spoken, and she did not repulse him.

man which so rouses and stirs him as

him. He read, he went to church, he
wanted to see how good people acted.
And when, after good life, he grew

DIFFERENT KINDS OF EYE.-Ne
branch of science has been more
thoroughly mastered than optics. The
principle Of vision must be essentially
the same in all eyes, but they differ re-
markably, according to the hadits of
the animal. Birds of lofty flight, rs
the condor, eagles, vultures, and car
rion-seeking providers of the featherej
race, have telescopic visions, and thus
they are enabled to look down and dis
cover tht Il unsaspeeting victims. AS
they approach nOiselessly from above
the axis of vision changes
so that they can see distinctly within
one foot o: the ground as wien at an
elevation Of one mile In the air.
