Once in while one hears OF deed, a
bit of heroism, of which the world never
knows, that stirs the heart and calls forth
greater admiration than the deeds Of great
men and great women that have been
blazoned forth for centuries. Let me tell
you of one of these. At the time of the
terrible explosion at the torpedo station, in
a room overlooking the experimenters.
were three persons ii baby two days old,
a young mother, very, very i'll, and a
nurse. The nurse sat at the window, look
ing out and watching also the invalid,
whose eyes were fixed upon her. That
nurse suddenly saw two men shot up into
the air more than sixty feet, just before
her eyes, and not muscle of her face stir
red, not Il sound escaped her, though she
saw these men torn limb from limb. To
the invalids inquiry about the noise, she
careessly replied, "It was only 4 torpedo
explosion, and big one probably, as it
made such noise" The sick woman,
whose husband was with the victims,
without doubt owes her life to this brave
woman, with such wonderful presence of
mind. But as yet she knows nothing of
the terrible calamity that widowed another
young mother.-Cor. Boston Transcript.

How CHAMELEoNs CATCH FLIEs.-The
chameleon lives largely upon flies, and at
first sight it would seem impossible that so
apparently torpid and sluggish an animal
should be able to reach and seize creatures
not only active in their movements, but
possessing the of power flight. At this
warm season, when the chameleon's ap-
petite is keen, it may often be observed
when fly has been introduced into its
cage to move about with comparative
celebrity, attentively watching the hy's
movements, now with one and now with
the other eye. 1t sooner or later happens
that the fly settles for few seconds some
where within half ioot's distance of the
chameleon's head. Then the chameleon 3
mouth may be observed to open and the
apex of the tongue TO protrude. In an
instant it has shut again and the fly has
disappeared. In fact, the chameleon has
spit out, rs it were, its enormously extern
sible tongue upon the insect, secured it
by the viscid secretion with which the
tongue is coated, and again withdrawn
that organ together with the prey, but the
whole has been effected with such amazing
rapidity that the Observers eye cannot
follow the movements Of the reptile's
tongue. 1t is projected and withdrawn
without the slightest noise, but in the
twinkling of an eye.-Nature.

rejoice in the presence of Him who once
was a man of sorrow, and acquainted with
grief. In the "Sweet bye and bye" OF
eternity he has drawn nearer to God, who
was his refuge in the flesh and an ever

statesman, orator, teacher, soldier patriot
and brother, hail! and farewell! Earth

higher honors dead than Chicago. And why
should we not? 1t was here that he was
nominated amid the turmoil of political
strife. 1t was here that his assassin for
merly lived-the miserable coward and
detested wretch.
Our city was draped in mourning, and
is yet. All nationalities felt their great
loss, and mourned as If one of their own
household was dead,-all orders and ranks
of the people fastened to join his funeral
obsequies here,-all was orderly and i'm.
posing. The grand procession was over
six miles long, $4,000 in line of march and
witnessed by 100000 people at least. No
such parade was ever seen here before,
and we have had a number of very i'm
posing ones.

Garfield.

The most remarkable man of the 10Th
century was buried at Cleaveland, Ohio,
on Monday afternoon, the Goth ultimo.
Born nearly so years ago, of poor parents,
left fatherless in infancy, he grew up to
manhood as farmer boy, a canal boat
driver, a carpenter Gall the time II suddenly,
school teacher, a college graduate, a col
lege professor and president, lawyer,
preacher, a legislator, soldier, general,
a congressman. a U. S. senator, president
of the United States. AS mechanic he
was Industrious, as a student he was dill
gent, as a teacher he was conscientious, as
a Christian counsellor he was devoted and
evangelical, as lawyer successful, as
legislator faithful and efficient, as patriot
soldier he was self-sacrifcing, as a general
victorious; as a congressman he represent
ed his district and people with quiet salts
faction, and won the highest enconiums
from his associates; and as chief executive
of this great nation, he was able, fearless,
dignified, honest. Almost from the cradle
to the grave every step he took was up.
ward and onward. As he grew older he
grew wiser and better and more useful.
His friends grew in number as his years
increased, until when he ceased at once to
work and live all Christendom gathered in
person and spirit around his tomb, and
with bowed heads and weeping eyes, paid
last tribute of respect to the memory of
one of earth's greatest heroes tho most
remarkable man the new world has pro-
duced.
But Garfield is dead! He rests at last.
He has risen to higher nights, with the
spirit of the just made perfect, he is now
able to see more of the goodness and great
ness of the Divine Ruler; to drink in more
of the wonders of the universe, and forever

STRENGTH OF CHARACTER.-Strength
of character consists of two things power
of will and power of self restraint. 1t re
quires two things, therefore to its existence
strong feelings and strong command
over them. Now it is here we make
great mistake-we mistake strong feelings
for strong character. A man who bears
all before him, before whose frown domes-
tics tremble and whose bursts OF fury make
the children of the household guake-be-
cause he has his will obeyed and his own
way in all things-we call him strong
man. The truth is, he is the weak man;
it is his passions that are strong; he, mas
tered by them, is weak. You must meas
ure the strength of man by the power of
those which subdue him. And hence
composure is very often the highest result
of strength. Did you ever see a man re-
ceive fligrant insult aud only grow a
little pale and quitey replyp That is
man spiritually strong. Or did we ever
see man in anguish stand as ifcarved out
of solid rock. mastering himselfP Or one
bearing hopeless daily trial remain silent,
and never tell the world what cankered
bis home peacep That is strength. He
who with strong passions remains chaste; ;
he who, keenly sensitive, with manly pow.
ers OF indignation in him, can be provoked
and yet restrain himself and forgive
these are the strong men, the spiritual
heroes.

Don't wear the morning dress too long,
before you drop it into the clothes basket.
Calico dresses are cheap. Have plenty
OF them rather than one expensive poplin
to wear on Sundays. When you wash,
starch and iron your calico dress, baste a
neat white ruffie in the neck before you
hang 1t up in the closet. All these little
Items add to the charm of woman
dress. We ought to thank dame Fashion
for once, that she has given us pretty,
sensible style in the ruffles now so univer-
sally worn in the necks of dresses. It
takes no looking glass to arrange them,
and no pin to keep them in place. They
are inexpensive, too, and for morning use
may be made of almost any white mater
lal Be sure to bast them in when the
dress is done up, and then they are al
ways ready.

1t is an actual fact that the horses push.
ed over that seven miles of rough road Mt
q wild run, and the wheel stood firm.
delay OF five minutes mt any point of the
road would have given fifteen more victims
to the flames which followed on behind. I
saw the wagon at the lake. and saw the
Clre seven miles away on the roadside.
The people who sought the beach had
still to endure much of the heat and all of
the smoke. Wading up 10 their shoulders,
they were safe from the flames but sparks
and sinders fell like snow storm and the
smoke was suffocating. The birds not
caught in the woods were carried out to
sea and drowned, and the waves have
washed thousands of them ashore. Souir-
rels, rabbits and such small animals stood
no show at all, bnt deer and bear sought
the beach and the company of human be-
lnSs; In one case man leaped from q
bluf into the lake and found himself close
behind large bear. They remained in
company under the bank nearly all night.
and the bear seemed as humble as a doc
In another Instance two of the animals
came ont of the forest and stood close to a
well from which farmer was drawing
water to dash over his house, and thew
were with him for two hours before thew
deemed it prudent to jog along. Deer
came out and sought the compan onship
of cattle and horses, and paid no attention
TO persons rushing past them -Detron

trial better than ease and comfort. Many
of the children of God cannot really afford
to be in constant prosperity on earth.
Preparation for the better things of
Heaven is worth more than all wealth
and honors among men. And that prepa-
ration means improvement in character
rectitude and purity in the sight of God.
God may discipline us and enemies may
pursue us, but nothing can be "against
us" if God be for US. All things along
the path of duty are for us. There is Il
faith that can walk with God in the dark.
The gold of Heaven is worth of character
and it is mined and coined on earth.
Then let no good mans faith fail what.
ever betide. Let all earthly hopes and
possessions be held in readiness for an
exchange for heavenly good. The largest
worldly fortune is well invested if by any
means it be exchanged for any additional
grace or goodness of character.
Happy is the man whom God cor
recteth." B.

THE ''MUD'' OR SAUCER" SYSTEM OF
PRoPAGATING.-rake any common saucer
or plate into which put sand to the depth
OF an inch or so, then prepare the cuttings
in the usual manner and insert them in the
sand close enough to touch each other.
The sand is to be watered 10 bring it to
the condition of mud The saucer with
the cuttings is then placed on the shelf of
the greenhouse, in the hot bed, or in the
sunny window of any room in the dwell
ing house; in each case fully exposed to
the sun and never shaded. But one con-
dltlon Is essential to succeSs-until cuttings
become rooted, the sand must b. kept con-
tinuallv saturated with water, and ALWAYS
in the condition of mud. To do this the
saucer must be watered Mt least once a
day with very fine rose watering pot,
and the watering must be done very gent
ly else the cuttings may be washed out.
There is every probability that ninety per
cent. of all cuttings put In will take root,
provided they We're in the proper condition,
and the temperature has not been lower
than sixty five degrees nor above one hun
dred degrees. By the saucer system
higher temperature may be maintained
without injury. as the cuttings are in real
ily placed in water aud will not wilt, pro-
vided the water is not allowed TO dry up.
Still the detached slip, until rooted, will
not endure long continuation of one hun
dred degrees, and we advise that propag-
alton be done at such seasons that the
cuttings, whatever they may be, will have
as near as possible an average tempera-
ture Of seventy-fve or eighty degrees in
inrhf ha n,rtff
(according to kinds and the temperature)
in from six TO twenty days. Verbenas,
heliotropeS, fuchsias. etc, root in a week,
while roses, carnations, or azleas take
two, three, or four weeks. When rooted
they should be potted in light soil, in pots
from two to three inches in diameter. and
treated carefully by shading and watering
for two or three days.-Peter Henderson.
