The Angry Father.

One day Sadi was reading the HOLY
Scriptures, but suddenly he closed the
book and looked stern and serious.
AHMED perceived it, and asked the
youth: "What ails thee, Sadi? why
does thy countenance changer"
Sadi answered.: :'The Scrinture
speaks here Of the wrath of God, and in
other places He is called love. This
seems hard and CONTRADICTORY"
Then his master said, calmly: "Shall

A Lesson For Young Widows.

One of the most attractive Young
widows in New York society has re-
fused half a dozen offers since the death
of her husband, out of Difference, it is
presumed, to the wishes of his father,
who has allowed her an income of four
thousand dollars a year and maintained
an equiptage for her. The other day
the old gentleman quilted this mundane
sphere, and when his will was opened
it was found that he had not mentioned
her, having divided his property be-
tween his widow and his brothers. The
daughter-in-law was cut to the quick at
being ignored, and, when the dowager
widow wrote to her that she would con-
tinue the allowance herself, answered
that she must decline to accept it, add
ing that her own parents had more than
made good the loss. 1t is general Y
felt that the old gentleman acted in ex-
ecrable taste in thus repaying his
dalghter-in-law's devotion-he mani
tested the greatest liking for her up to
within a day Of his death, but it is, lone
the less, a lesson to all widowed daugh-
ters-in-law not to wait for dead mems
shoes, but to seize the passing moment
and marry when they may. Fortunate
~, the lady in question, like Volante in
honeymoon" has not hung so long
upon the parent stem that she may not
still be worth q millionaire's attention.

Right and Left

M. Delaunay, of Paris, has made an
extended and careful investigation to
ascertain if in the majority of cases the
right upper and lower extremity be
crossed over the left or the left over the
right, and which side most persons in
cline to when in a sitting posture. Ac-
cording to M. Delaunay, certain breeds
of dogs, terriers, Newfoundland and
poodles eros the right foot over the
left The Chinese and japanese cross
the left over the right. Europeans
cross the right over the left. M. De-
launay observed. in the ''creeches and
sale d'aisles," that infants under three
wears of age cross the left arm over the
right, older children crossing the right
over the left, sixty per cent. doing SO at
six years of age. Robust children
cross the right arm over the left; the
idiotic and weak, including those who
are incapable of working, cross the left
over the right. The Calmucks and
Arabs cross the right over the left, like
the Europeans. A great many women
cross the left leg over the right. Among
the opera-danccrs, some cross the right
leg over the left, but not one the left
over the right; the majority cross the
left over the right OF the right owe the
left inditferently. Robust children
the right leg over the left earlier than
their weaker playmates. Persons who
cross the right leg over the left lean
toward the let when sitting; those who
place the left uppermostle lean to the right.
Hence, consistently with what might
have been expected from what IS OBJ
served in children with regard to cross
ing legs, until six years of age children
lean toward the left. French school
masters, it would appear, try to pre-
vent their pupils from assuming this
position, believing that scoliosis results;
hence they encourage or enforce the use
Of elbow-rests (a%ccoudoirs), whichoblige
the children to sit straight, a useless
measure according to M. Delannay, as
the position they choose is in conformity
with the process of evolution. Tailors
affirm that the back of pair Of trousers
is always more worn on the left side
than on the right. Left-handed people
always sit toward the right. NJ. De-
launay concludes from these observa-
tons that the left brain develops pre-
viously to the right, and finally the right

A Novel Table Luxury.

If, in England, a nan was pushed to
discover a new animal food, it would, I
think, be q long time before he hit upon
bats as at all likely to furnish him with
a desirable addition to his table, even if
their diminutive size did not place an in
superable obstacle, in the way of their
being so utilized. But in many of the
South Sea Islands, where the fiying-fox,
a species of bat, fifteen inches or SO
across the wings, is common. it is used
as food by the natives, and its flesh is
by no means to be despised even by
epicures. The animal usually confines
itself to fruit-ripe bananas of the best
quality, and plenty of them, being about
his mark. 1t would seem absurd to a
stranger to the country to be informed
that such an insignificant animal as a
bat could seriously threaten the fruit
harvest IN countries where it was so
abundant; but he would change his
opinion when informed that the flying
foxes often settle in hundreds in any
likely plantations; and as they ALWAYS
destroy very much more than they con-
sumo, the loss and inconvenience they
cause to the natives may be properly
estimated.
The bat in question is not SO strictly
nocturnal in his habits as his English
brother; and although he usually sallies
out at sunset, yet I have often mott el
them sailing about in broad daylight,
provided the weather was dull and over
cast; the flight is even and regular, very
like that of a rock, and not in the least
resembling the erratic mode of progress
sion affected by our native species. The
natives prepare them for food by first
cutting of the wings and then passing
the body through the fire to remove the
fur, and with it the strong foxy smell
with which it is impregnated. 1t is
then carefully scraped, split open, and
afterward grilled on the Goals spitch-
cock fashion, when it is ready for con-
sumption. and is capital eating, having
a rich, gamy flavor, something between
a hare and a Chambers

The Carboniferous Jungle.

If WI could suddenly transplant our
selves from the gardens and groves of
the nineteenth century into the midst of
a carboniferous jungle on the delta of
some forgotten Amazon or some prime
val Nile, we should find ourselves sur
rounded by strange and somewhat
monotonous scenery, very different from
that of the varied and beautiful world
in which we ourselves now live. The
huge foliage of gigantic tree-ferns and
titanic club-mosses would wave over
our heads, while agreen carpet of pretty
trailing creepers would spread luxu-
riantly over the damp soil beneath our
feet. Great swampy flats would stretch
around us on every side; and instead of
the rocky or undating hills of our
familiar Europe, we should probably
see the interior country composed only
of low ridges, unified as yet by the
slow upheaval of ages into the Alps or
Pyrenees of the modern continent. But
the most striking popularity of the scene
would doubtless be the wearisome uni
formity of its prevailing colors. Earth
beneath and primitive trees overhead
would alike present a single field of I'M
varying green. No scarlet flower,
golden fruit, or gay butterfly would
give a CLEAN of brighter and warmer col
oring to the continuous verdure of that
more than tropical forest. Green and
green, and green again; wherever the
eye fell it would rest alike upon one
monotonous and unrelieved mass of
harsh and angular verdure Grant

A Cruel Shock.

Dressed for church she stood before
the mirror admiring herself, and men
tally observed thai she never had an.
reared more lovely. The candid critic,
however, would have declared that her
inquire was not in just proportion, for
she was very tall and thin and her hight
seemed greater than it actually was in
consequence of a bunch of ostrich
plumes that foated in snowy masses
over her hat.
Eyes, 1 know I am handsome" she
said, 'but I can't help it," and turning
to go out, caught sight Of her little
brother standing in the doorway.
What are you doing there, Bob??"
she asked, sharply.
Cooking at you, Fannie" returned
the artless child.
What do you want to be staring at
me for?:"
"'Cause you look just like a long
handled feather duster."
And sitting all alone in church that
morning she wondered how she would
feel if Bob got the measles and died.

THE SEASIDE HOTEL F7END.

How dear to his heart is the coming of Sum
mer,
Which lessons the knots of his patrons
purse-strings!
How sweet the reflection that soon they must
come or
Be victimized home by the evil it brings!
How gladly he sees the thermometer rising
And creeping along with the nineties quite
near;
And really behaves in a manner surprising
When he learns weather prophets predict Q
hot year.
The stings of mosquitoes bave balm for his
bosom,
The buzz Of the bee has a musical sound,
The dog-days' discomforts he freely would
choose 'cm
Ere spare his poor victims the pangs that
abound.
For him there's no pain, b. it ever so torrid,
lags:
Hc does not rcpino, be the flies e'er SO horrid,
And of heat equatorial really he brags.
His body may battle i'll warm perspiration,
In his face may the sunshine INCREASINGLY
flare,
And the pests of the Summer in vast aggre-
cation
Assail his own person-no whit does he care;
For we'll does he know that the torment in
human
Will drive tortured souls to his precincts
pell-mell;
And he gloats DER the sufrerings of man and
OF woman,
Does the tend at the seaside who keeps the
hotel.

The Gospels.

Then the Gospels: these need a erest
deal more thinking than the Psalms in
order to get the good out of them. If
the Psalms are the soup, the Gospels
are the main joint, and they need some
carving to begin with. The division
into chapters and verses is an attempt
to carve, but the carvers, unfortunate
ly, did not always know the joints, and
bone. In this respect you will find the
revised version very helpful by its d.
vision into paragraphs. And let me ad-
wise you to take it piece by piece. each
piece of convenient size, so that you can
easily manage it. A little at a time,
well eaten and thoroughly digested, is
far better than a long chapter bolted
down, or, as is too often the case, not
taken in at all. The eye is just run
owe it., the heart gets no nourishment,
and you could scarcely tell at twelve
o'clock in the day what chapter it was
that you read in the morning. I would
far rather have two or three verses read,
marked, learned and inwardly digested,
than whole chapters ran over in chat
careless kind of way. /
Then, when you are reading the Cos
pels, let me recommend you always to
look out for the two great lessons to be
learned in the life of Christ; the first Of
these: What God is: the second: What
man ought to be. Jesus came to tell us
who God is, and what He is, and how
He feels toward us, and how He treats
US. Always be on the lookout for les
sons on that subject in the life of Christ.
So when you read about the poor leper
who came running up to Him, and say
ing: ''Lord, if Thou wilt Thou canst
me %clean," watch what He does, be-
cause whatever He does to the leper is
just what God will do to YOU. He i'm
mediately puts forth His hand, and
touches him, and says: II will, be thou
clean" So, if you come to the Lord
He will put out His hand, and touch
you, and say: 81 will, be thou clean"
When you see the Saviour standing
on the stormy lake, and lifting up his
voicet to the waters, and saving: "Peace!
be still" and Immediately there is a
great calm,' that is just what the
blessed Lord will do to you. when the
waves Of your spirit are agitated, and
you in your trouble and fear come to
I'LL, LIZ WILL spcAh ullc worn dnu say.
you in your trouble and fear come to
"Peace! be still,' and there will be "a
great calm" And when you see Him
agonizing in the garden and dying on
the cross, you see not merely a love
that was felt and shown eighteen hun.
dred years ago, but you see the love OF
God to you now; you see what God is,
and how He feels toward you now. Al
ways be on the lookout for that, as You
read the Gospels, to learn what God is,
and how He feels towards you, and
how He wishes to pardon, and save.
and bless you.
And then do not forget the second
lesson-to learn what man ought to
be. The Lord Jesus has cleft us an eX'
ample, that we should follow His
steps, and wherever it is possible for
us to follow We should 'oome after
Him.-Dr. Monroe Gibson, on t'HoW
TO Read the Bible."
