Talking about sudden changes in tenn.

day few weeks ago. 1t was nice, warm
day, and 1 was out on my run, and was
just congratulating myself that we'd get
through on time this trip. We'd had
tough times with snow and cold, and was
particularly pleased with the fine outlook

home in time to lead the prayer meetin'
bein' as it was my turn. I'm q religious
man, you see, SO you can place the utmost
confidence in what l tell you. Well, as
was a-sayin', it was a NICE warm, thawing
day, and we were making good time. Pref
ty soon, though, the train stopped, miles
from any station, and stepped out to see
what the matter was. / noticed that it
seemed slightly colder and shivered bit
as l stood in the slush and water looking
ahead where the engineer was fixing some
thing about his machine. BY the time the
engineer had concluded his fixing, probably
three or four minutes, l was chilled
through, and wasn't sorry to see him Jump
Into his cab and hear the bell ring for start

but it wasn't much of move. In fact, i
was stuck. could no more move my feet
than il the court house had been sitting on
one OF them and the city hall on the .other.
You see, while was standing in that water
the temperature had suddenly fallen 30 that
the water had turned to firm ice, and my
feet were frozen fast. The train moved off
without me, despite my cries. and stayed
there three hours and missed my prayer
meeting. That beat all the sudden changes
in temperature ever heard OF, and you can
bet it was a cold day when 1 got leit."-

ANCIENT WATER WORKS.
The First System Ever Built ON the
= American Continent,

The First System Ever Built ON the
American Continent,
On the best authority available it is
believed that the first water works in
the United States were planned and
constructed by John Christopher
Christensen, at Bethlehem, Pa, in
1862. The machinery consisted of
three single acting force pumps, 4-inch
caliber and 18-inch stroke, worked by a
triple crank, and geared to the shaft of
an understood water wheel 10 feet in
diameter and 2 feet clear in the buck
cts. The total head of water was 2
feet. On the water shaft was a wallow-
er Of 50 rounds, gearing into a spur
wheel of so cogs, attached to the crank.
The three piston rods were attached
each to frame or crosshead, working
in grooves, to give them a parallel
motion with the pump. The crosshead
was of wood, as we'll as the parts con-
tanning the grooves or guides. The
water was raised by this machinery to
the height of 20 feet and subsequently
to ia feet. These works were in OBJ
GRAFTON as late as 1882 The first rising
main was made of gum-wood as far as
it was subject to pressure and the rest
was pitch pine. In 1886 leaden pipes
were substituted, and in 1918 they were
changed for iron.-Industria Gazette

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

DIR. Butler, who retired from the
head-mastership of Harrow, Eng,
worth five hundred thousand dollars, Is
the most successful" school-teacher
in the world.
The Scottish churches with the
largest membership are Forfar, 1900;
St. Cuthbert's, Edinburgh, 2.796; and
Montrose, 2,651-all connected with the
establishment.
DIR. Morton w. Easton, Professor
of Comparative Philology in the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, has studied no
less than twenty-five different Ian
guages, both ancient and modern.
Bishop Hargrove states that the
West Texas Methodist Conference has
gained during the past year ten thou
sand, and that the whole church has
gained not less than fifty thousand
members during the year.
1t is said that the largest weekly
church prayer-meeting in America is in
Chicago, and is that of the Third Pres
byterian Church, of which Rev. DIR.
Abbott E. Kittredge is pastor. The
lecture-room will seat one thousand
people and is usually full.-Chicago
Mail.
The year of 1885 was peculiarly
fatal to English Bishops. 1t carried of
Bishops jackson, of London; Words

Woodford, of Ely, besides the Primate
of Armagh, Archbishop Beresford.

"A London evangelist declares that

The movement for the education
of the native females is making pro-
gress in the French as well as the Brit
ish possessions in India. The Governor
of POndicherry, the chief of the French
settlements, was recently present at
the giving of prizes in girls school of
five hundred and ten pupils under the
charge of nuns.
The fact that Miss Fulton, medi-
cal missionary in Kwai Sang, China,
rendered good service to wounded
Mandarin, secured for her and her
parents, both of whom are mission
aries. very favorable reception. The
Mandarin procured for them a house
to live in, which would not otherwise
have been granted them. The province
of Kwai Sang has apopulation of seven
million. The city in which the Fultons
are now located is Kwai Peng, which
is about four hundred miles from Can
ton. They are as yet the only mission
sries in this province.

a LESSON FROM THE CRADLE

The little one sits in his cradle,
With his playthings strewn all around.
He handles them gently, one by one,
Then drops them down 10 the ground
For his dear, little, helpless fingers
Not one of his treasures can keep,
They vanish all from his Feeble Clasp
And the baby is fast asleep.
Our life at its best is so narrow.
Its limits so quickly are found;
AS the cradle shuts in the baby,
So closely it hens us around.
We sit In the midst with our treasures,
And hold them with tenderest care,
But our clingng hands can not keep them
And our arms grow empty and bare
yet-could we but know-they are neeru
We shall have them to love and TO keep,
We shall hold them again when we wakes
For we, too, must lie down and sleep.
Bessie Chandler. In Chicago Adpdnss-
