WHAT HINDERS /!

A series of meetings had been held
in country village with increasing in
terest. For it earnest prayer had as
cended for many weeks as preparatory
for public service. On the last day of
the session young man well known for
his Indifference to the great realities of
religion, came into the meeting with
three or four gay comrades as wild as
himself. Truth earnestly, tenderly pre-
sented, touched his heart and he was
converted. In the afternoon he came
again, but alone, evidently avoiding his
companions, and accidentally seated
himself near a faithful and devoted
Christian young lady of his accquaint-
ance who was not aware of his being
specially interested in the meetings.
When the closing appeal was made and
anxious ones were invited to front seats,
she noticed the fearful eye and sober
face Of her friend, which told that his
heart had been touched. She dared not
rise to speak to him as he was a high
spirited young man, and he might resent
a public appeal. Puzzled and troubled,
not knowing what to do. she took pen
cil and paper to write him, but again
was in doubt, not knowing what to write.
Her brother, eight years old, sitting by
her side, whispered to her wOnderingly:
"What hinders you from writing?" She
did not answer the lad, but wrote these
two words, "What binders |" and hand
cd 1t to the young man. He read it,
and for moment or two q conflict SEEM
ed going on in his mind, and then arose
and walked to the front seat, later sought
religious conversation, and was, we
trust, hopefully converted.-N Y. Oh.

A Temple in Venice.

Charles Warren Stoddard writes as
follows of the cathedral of San Marco :
There Is temple in Venice so stored
with oriental treasures thai to see it is
like breathing cassis and musk. The
facade of this queen of churches IS
burdened with characterization there is
a barbaric splendor in its outward
decoration that is not in keeping with
the exceeding solemnity Of the interior.
Within everything is so rich that it can
well afford to make no display. 1t is
the most harmonious, the most wOr-
shipful, the sweetest, most solemn re-
treat for the world-weary that can be
conceived of. You may select your
own chapel, and it shall be rich or
plain, ablaze with flaming tapers or lit
by q single lamp that swings like a
great jewel hung by a golden chain to
the summit of a deep golden dome /;
you may, if you choose, mediate before
an antique byzantine crUcifx, or a lot
Of stained sculpture, almost rs old as
Christianity; or, if you Will, sit for a
time under one of the sad-faced Madon-
mas, at whose feet the votive offerings
are heaped in strange confusion. But
come in, away from the glitter and the
glare of the exterior, where the four
bronze horses pranee and the eyes grow
weary with seeking some point TO rest
on IN all that tropical rare, garden"

Tha Sonrca of Salt


The sea depends on the disintegra-
ton OF rocks on land for salt. Rains
wash it and hold it in solution as par
Eicles are liberated by violence, decom-
position, and gradual action of many
natural forces. All streamIets and
rivers, therefore, are constantly trans
porting salt to the sea. If there is
more than can be held IN solution, then
It aceunaulates in masses at very deep
points. Thus the salt mines of Port
land and the vast horizontal beds of
pure salt in Texas, as we'll as that
mountain of rock salt in st. Domingo,
were collected at the bottom of ancient
seas, which are now dry land remote
from water.
There are places in Africa where the
process of dIsintegratiOn of salt from
rock is regularly going on, but there is
not water power enough to force it on
ward TO the sea. Hence the PARTICLES
are spread abroad and mixed with the
soil The negroes of northern Africa
having discovered its distribution where
there is no water to dissolve in the
ground leach IL. In that way they
separate the salt. Salt pervades the
earth. It exists in the grasses and most
vegetable products on which animals
feed. In that way they derive enough
in most countries to meet the demands
of their natures. They require as much
as civilized humanity. With them salt
is necessary, as WITH ourselves, fol
keeping the organs of vision in good
condition. Stop the supply and blind
ness would ensue.
