Fair PLAY Is q Jewel.

Our readers are, doubtless, familiar

heroic self-denial of Sir Philip Sidney.

Lieut.. Cowell, of the Essex, being
badly wounded in the leg, was carried

their hands full. Seeing him, one of the
doctors dropped another patient and pro-
posed to amputate the leg forthwith.
"No, doctor, none of that" answered
the gallant officer; "fair play is q Jewel.
One mans lief is as dear as another. I

When his turn came, an hour or two
after, it was too late. The amputation
was performed, but the patient was too

Or to launch tiny ships, and send them to sea,

What Small Things Do.

The close Of the eighteenth and the
beginning of the nineteenth century was
distinguished for the wonderful revela-
tons made by the telescope. The vast
ness of the universe dawned upon men,
Some found in these revelations of
planet and satellite, of distant suns and
more distant nebule, fresh confirmation
of the words of tho Hebrew King:
''The heavens declare the glory of
God. and the armament showeth His
handiwork.'
But there were others who insisted
that these discoveries made faith in
Christianity impossible to an astrono-
mer.
What is this world" they asked,
"but an insignificant star-among mill
ions Of stars How can an astronomer
believe that it, one of the smallest of
stars. was the theater, and its ephemeral
inhabitants the objects, of such provi-
DENTAL interpretations as the Bible al
leges>?" "Why should the Creator of
tho universe thus distinguish one of the
smallest of the countless stars that move
in spaca?"
It was to meet this and similar obiec-
tons to Christianity that DR.. Chalmers
preached his Astronomical Discourses. !"
He met the revelations of the telescope
by the revelations Of the microscope.
Ii, ran his argument, the other revealed
a vast universe above man, the other re-
vealed u universe below him. Why
should not He who formed and cares for
the bodies of millions of animalculm
interpose in behalf of the souls of mill
ions Of men?
We were reminded OF this argument
i'll reading Prof. Barnard's article in the
Popular Science Monthly entitled "Mi-
o-Organisms and Their Effects in
Nature" In it he shows that creatures
too small to be seen by the naked eye
are far more important as food-produc-
ers, as scavengers, and as builders, than
all the larger animals that have dwelt
upon the earth. Infnitesimal though
they are, they, nevertheless, exert an
enormous influence on man and other
organisms, and on the air, the water,
and the solid EARTH
Such revelations Of the microscope
show the depth Of meaning in the words
uttered by Jesus Christ to prove the
special providence of God:
"Ye are Of more value than many
sparrows. - Youths Companion.

Nothing New Under the Sun.

The puzzle of 1914 never was
copyrighted, and much compassion has
been spent on the inventor for his lack
Of foresight, which lost him the profits
Of his popular toy.
But there is doubt as to whether lie
could have taken out o copyrig ht. Some
shrewd observer has discovered in a
picture Of "Melancholia," by Albert
Durer, in the fifteenth century, the
"gem puzzle" with the numbers from
one to sixteen arranged so as to count
thirty-four in twenty different ways.
So often do not only history but trifles
repeat themselves that one is sometimes
led to doubt whether there ought to be
copyright or patent for anything as
being new under the sun.
Tho story Of Shylock gave rise to We
hement discussion in the Prussian, Par
lament the other day. One member
asserted that the incident used by
Shakespeare really occurred in 1857, but
that it was the Christian who demanded
the pound of flesh, and not the Jew.
Singularly enough the fact was proved
in debate that the leading idea of the
story is found in ancient Hindoo mythol-
ogy.
Irving's legend Of Rip Van Wrinkle is
supposed to be borrowed from Morse
folklore but it really originated in
China. As told thore, a villager went
out to the mountains and found two
old men playing chess in cave. They
handed him a date to eat. He stood
watching them through game, when
one said to him:
"You have been long time with us
now, 60 home"
STOPPING to pick up his staff, it crum-
bled to dust in his hands; and when he
returned to the village he found the r,,-
