The SHORTEST DAY.-The 2ist Of De-

shortest day of the year. This IL really
mistake, or II there is any difference
bet veen it and q number OF other days
II is ~ little a. to DO iusppreoiable to
the most careful observer. seine peo-
pie with lively imaeinations, however,
imagine otherwise. A Tacoma paper,
for instance, declared on December I'D
that that day was q inmate and some
seconds longer than the day before, and
that the day following would show a
further gain of two minutes and some
seconds. The sun rises little later
every morning until the end OF the year,
when a turn Is reached, and from that
time on to the 2lst Of June it rises
earlier each morning. Not, however,
until the middle of January does the
sun rise 80 early az 10 did on the 2lst OF
December. The setting OF the sun
makes the saru sooner, and from setting
earlier each day 10 sets later from and
after the 10th or 2lss Of December. The
setting gains little upon the rising. DO
that by the end of the year daylight
has heightened about three minutes,
and ten minutes by the Ssh OF January.

When we take up the calling inconsider'

reating this great work with too much III
Inference. This is the reason why so many
continue for a brief time in the Sunday school
and then leave it. | fear such superficial
workers did not count the cost. no man,
having put his hand TO the plow and looking
back, is fit for the kingdom of Cod The
present day requires teachers who will

the Masters help very near. Thus Sunday
school teachers will become mighty instru

their efforts they will produce powerful in
fluence over their scholars We require more
teachers having such qualities The sun
day school needs steady, pelSevering work
from teachers who have a solemn consider
alton OF the responsibility of the work, as
those who have to give account. Our lessons
and addresses and discipline in the Sunday
school should mean that we are in earnest as
engaged ia work of the highest Importance
We must not think that anything will do for
the Sunday school, whose chief aim is for the
salvation Of the young. When we consider
,he greatness of the Saviour's love in coming
into the world to die the dreadful
death of the cross to reconcile man

importance and character Of the work we
cooperate in. The redemption of man was a

DEVILS OF CHINESE MYTHOLOGY.
Their Return to Earth-Durnins Sacri.
fces-Spiritual Marriage.

According 70 heather belief the devils Of
Chinese mythology begin their periodic visits
10 this world to-day. They remain here for
seven days. They bring with them the rela-
tives. in spri, form, Of the living, and ey-
pect good treatment from the latter The
Chinese residents OF Pittsburg have made all
arrangements to give their spiritual guests q
warm greeting. At their homes or in public
places they Will offer up burnt sacrifices, con-
sisting Of chickens, ducks, pork, fruits, sugar,
nuts, eggs and so forth. The Chinese devils
are usually accredited with being very smart,
and good judges Of what constitutes good
sacrifice, and if they discover that mortals
are not offering up the first and best fruits Of
the land, they are apt TO act as tormentinS as
only devils can.
The devils come upon the earth from tho
first to the seventh days of every seventh
Chinese month. They are supposed to wear
the same kind Of clothing as is worn by living
Cinnamon, and they depend upon their
periodic visits to earth to get supplied with
the proper outfit. Consequently this week,
besides the sacrifice OF the articles above
mentioned, there will be n general offering
up of certain kind of money which is sup
posed to pass as legal tender in the spiritual
! world This takes the form of paper richly
decorated with gold leaf and Chinese inscrp-
tons, and is about five inches long and wide.
The clothing burned is also richly decorated
with many colors. These sacrifices are usu-
ally burned at night on the seven days OF the
devils visit
The Chinese have other serious beliefs about
the spiritual world They think that as soon
as person dies he goes at once to the next
world. There the inlmOrtalS have laws, poll
tics, marria1-7, etc, us well a. mortals do on
this earth When man and wife die they ex.
pect to be united again hereafter, but when
unmarried persons die their spirits wander
about on earth until their parents have found
suitable companion for them il the upper
world. If this is not done, the dead PERSONS
evil spirit enters into the heart of the mortal
whom he loves, and torments it to death.
The spiritual marriage among the Chinese is
usually conducted by women. II boy is
dead, his mother looks around to find a girl
of about tie same ago who can be his spirit
ual mate Only the fortune teller has the
right TO appoint the day for the marriage. A
priest performs the ceremony. Many prayers
are repeated from morning until night, until
the hour has come. Then the priest calls the
couple, who are represented on paper, by the
names which they We're known by before
death, says many pleasant words, and pro
nounces them man and wife.-fittSbur.

''Xolapnk" Received with Favor.

The plan for a universal commercial lam

Herr Scheycr, Of Switzerland, seems to be
meeting with greater favor than has been ac-
corded other projects Of the kind. 1t is re-
ported that Nolapuli is already spoken with
great facility by Thousands of Europeans;
knowledge Of it is being disseminated by fifty
three societies scattered over England, Ger
many, Austria, Sweden, Holland, Asia Minor
and other countries; Volapuk gramnars for
