1t will be observed:
1. That the opening is on the side
of the nut which gives access TO the

2. That the opening IS nearest to
the end Of the nut, where the most of
the kernel lies.
8. That the opening is no larger

What has been the cause OF the dis
appearance of the total eclipses from
the inhabited regions of the globe the
astronomers have not told us. 1t does
not follow that it Is their fault,
though of course suspicion will be
directed toward them. As for the
small and incomplete eclipses which
we do nave they are of no practical
value and exert no beneficial influence
upon chickens. After all, total
eclipses are not very beautiful or in
teresting spectators, and the world
can get along without them very
easily.

The way in which boy uses his
leisure often determines what sort of a
man he will be. The Wide Awake

of the statement:
Two men stood at the same table in
a large factory in Philadelphia, work
ing at the same trade. Having an
hour for incoming every day, each AN
aertook to use IL in accomplishing q
definite purpose; each persevered for
about the same number of months,
and each was successful at LIST. One
of these two mechanics used his daily

block of wood into almost any desired

The Horse in Scripture.

Gfthue0lhu 5 mdSdZlnc.
L remember having seen somewhere
a picture of Adam in the garden of
Eden riding bare backed mustang, a
lion gamboling by his side. But in
Holy Writ the horse appears in only
one aspect-as the war horse. He
saith among the trumpets, Ha! ha !!
and he smelleth the battle afar off, the
thunder of the captains and the shout
ing" In Genesis the name does not
occur at all. Nor, as a matter of fact,
could it do so, seeing that the first
"horSe" Uhe first that science kCNws
o) was little five toed, sharp nosed
creature, much too small for man
of even our degenerate stature to ride
upon, and otherwise also unsuitable
for a steed, and it is, therefore, very
probable that ''the first man" never
was on horseback.
Yet the use of the animal dates back
to prodigious antiquity. The Assyr-
ian sculptures show us nigh bred agd
carefully caparisoned chargers, TIN ee
thousand years and more ago. Nor
is it at all likely that they were the
first to train them, for the horse is a
native of Central Asia, and the early
Aryan is hardly likely to have wasted
such useful beast. At any rate that
perfection to which the extremely an
Gent Assyrian monuments show US
that the breeding had attained some
eighteen hundred years before Christ,
must certainly have taken long time
In development.
