The King of Mechanics.

The blacksmith has sometimes been
called the king of mechanics, and this is
the way he is said to have earned the dis
tinction:
The story goes that, during the build
ing of Solomon's Temple, that wise
ruler decided to treat the artisans en-
ployed on his famous edifce to ban
quet. While the men were enjoying
the good things his bounty had provi-
ded, King Solomon moved about from
table to table to become better acquain-
ted with his workmen. To one he
said:
"My friend what is your trade"
ga carpenter"
"And who makes your tools ?"
"The blacksmith" replied the car
penter. To another Solomon said:
"What is your trade ?"
"And the reply was
ga mason"
"And who makes your tools ?"
"The blacksmith, replied the mason.
A third stated that he was a stone
cutter, and that the blacksmith also
made his tools. The fourth man whom
King Solomon addressed was the black
smith himself. He was a powerful man.,
with barred arms, on which the muscles
stood out in bold relief, and seemingly,
almost as hard as the metal he worked.
"And what is your trade, my good
man ?' said the king.
BLACKSMITH, laconically replied
the man of the anvil and sledge.
"And who makes your tools ?"
"Make 'em myself" said the black
smith.
Where upon King Solomon immedi-
ately proclaimed him the King of Me
chanics, because he could not only
make his own tools, but all other arti-
sans were forced to go to him to have
their tools made.

B@The diameter of trees varies not
only from summer to winter, but from
day to day. They are larger from noon
until twilight next morning than from
twilight until noon; they are smaller in
the winter than in summer. Water and
the sap of trees expand not only in pro-
portion as they rise above, but also as
they go below the freezing point.
Low temperature as well as high pro-
notes evaporation, and the trees evap-
crate from their branches in winter,
and so the colder the weather the more
they shrink.

BI-There isa great differencein house
holds in the promptness and regularity
with which the family get to meals when
they are announced and the members
invited to sit down. In well regulated
households all the members come
promptly and take their places at the
table, and all eat at once; in other
houses the members of the family are
not prompt and keep coming one after
another, each sitting down and begin
ming the meal on his or her own notion.
There are families too where the men,
bers may be called several times before
they will come, and thus keep the table
waiting and the matron in suspense.
This is all wrong. When meals are
announced every one who is expected
to sit down to the table should do so
promptly, each in his own place, and
all eat and get through at once or as
nearly so as is compatible with COM
fort. 1t is of course unseemly and ILL
bred to rush to the table in the family
as if the first one down were to have a
choice of the food and the lions share
of it. Such conduct is vulgar; but a
prompt and ready attendance at the
table when called is the correct thing.

ReaVy-Eaden.

There are multitudes who are heavy
laden. The burdens are numerous and
soms of them grievious to be borne.
The burden of care is well-nigh univer-
sal. On many it presses very heavily.
Lod at the man whose daily bread and
that of his family depends upon his
daily toll. With the utmost economy
his daily wages scarcely provide for the
necessities of those dependent upon
hin. He is willing to toll. He is anx-
iou.lest the privilege oftoiling fail him.
In yeariness and in sickness he tolls on,
for to stop is to meet face to face with
gault want. Truly he is heavy-laden.
Thae are thousands in this and in other
lands whose burdens are similar and
even heavier.
Look at the man who is the victim
of fraud and injustice and cruelty at
the hands Of his fellow-men; His just
eamings have been withheld or taken
from him, his good name has been
slandered, his efforts in an honorable
cause have been maliciously thwarted.
He is but one of large class who are
bearing this burden.
"Man's inhumanity to man
| Makes countless thousands mourn"
These and others of the mighty host
of the heavy-laden are our neighbors,
and we are not to pass by on the other
side, leaving them without sympathy
and such aid as it may be in our power
to give. If we have been made to diff
fer fiom them there is the more reason
for cur remembering them with Chris
tian love.
There are multitudes who, while Ia
boring under burdens like these, are Ia
boring under the heavier burden of un-
repented sin. Such are especially in
vited to come to Christ. We should
make special efforts to lead such to
Christ. How precious is the promise
of Christ Care-worn, injured, fainting,
sinful soul, there is rest for thee in
Christ
