THB TWO DOGS.
Two Dogs one day went lion hunting,
one of them being smart dog with IA

Pretty soon they struck the track of a
Lion, and the educated Dog started off
in the direction of the royal beast,
while his ignorant companion, making
an absurd mistake, took the back
track ami started off in the opposite
direction. In few minutes the cdu-
Gated Dog was serving rs an inanmate

the ignorant Dog escaped unhurt.

series Of railroad signals which will be
understood on any road in the country.
As it is at present the code OF one line
often conflicts or differs from that of
another road, so that if n trainman ac-
cepts a position on another road he has
the whole code of signals to learn over
again. and then is in constant danger of
confusing the two. This would be all
done away with if a uniform system be
! adopted.
The official testing of seeds at the

radish-seeds tested at the Ohio expert
ment station only "a per cent ON an
average sprouted from commission
seeds. while of those received from
seedmen direct 65 per cent, sprouted.
Seeds of perennals often terminate
slowly. and they should be sown where
they can be seen daily and the soil be
kept moist. After sowing and water
ing it is well TO give mulch Of short
grass, which will keep the soil from
drying out Sow the seeds in line light
soil, and, if possible, in a place some
what shaded. A cold frame is best for
such seeds.
BY the floods that have prevailed in

cline of ten million pounds, while the
shipments of sheep-skins show an in

A Child'S Faith.

In a town of Holland there once
lived very poor widow. One night
her children asked her in vain to give
them bread, for she had none. The
poor widow loved the Lord and knew
that he was good; so, with her little
ones around her, she earnestly prayed
for food. On rising from her knees,
her eldest child, boy of about eight
years of age, said softly, Dear
mother, we are told in the holy Book
that God supplied his prophet with
food brought by the ravens" " Yes,
my son." the mother answered; " but
that was very long ago." but,
mother, what God has done once NAV
he not do again? l will 90 and un-
close the door and let the birds fly in.
Then dear little Dirk, in simple faith,
threw the door wide open, so that the
light of their lamp fell on the path out
side. Soon afterwards the burgomaster
passed by, and, noticing the light,
paused, and thinking it very strange,
he entered the cottage and inquired
why they left the door open at night
The widow replied, smiling, My little
Dirk did it, sir, that ravens might fly
in to bring bread to my hungry chill
dren." Indeed" cried the burgo-
master; then here's a raven, my boy.
Come to my home, and you shall see
where bread may soon be had" So
he quickly led the boy along the street
to his own house, and then sent him

The Ministry of Sorrow.

On the banks of the Ganges there
grow fragrant grasses that reveal their
sweetness only when crushed. There
are hearts that, like the Ganges grasses,
yield no sympathy nor love till
bruised. The silversmith puts into the
furnace the ore that he would purify
and keeps it there till he can see his
face reflected from its pure and quiet
surface. So character is kept in the
furnace of affection till it reflects the
image of Christ. The diamond is made
precious by grinding; the tree is made
fruitful by pruning. God sometimes al
lows the sun of prosperity to set, and
permits a night of adversely that we
may see the stars that can be seen only
by night, and thus be reminded again
that we form an integral part of har-
monious universe. Losses often lead
thoughtless men to lead better life.
In countless homes death has been the
only successful evangelist. Said a SOL
der to an agent of the Christian Com
mission: " 1t seems to me | can't be
grateful enough for losing my arm. 1t
made me thoughtful and opened the
way for your delegates to visit me, and
ended in my finding Christ. 1t is bet
ter think, to enter into life halt or
manned rather than, having two hands
or two feet, to be cast into everlasting
fire." The office of sorrow may be
clearly seen by study of the word
tribulation." A threshing instru-
ment used by the Romans was called a
tribulltn, the act of separating the kerr
mel from the husk was called tribuldtiO.
The word was first used in the new but
now common sense by an early Chris
tian writer, who called the sorrows of
Christians tribulatiO because by afllic-
tions they prepare souls for the heav-
emily garner.-Presbyterian Observer.

BY Their Fruits.

You all know what Christmas-tree
is? Perhaps you have seen so many of
them that they do not interest you
much now: but l feel sure that when
YOU first saw one YOU thought it a very
are dolls for the little ones and pocket
knives for the boys, and books and
work-boXes and albums for the older
children, and sweetmeats for all, to say
nothing of the lighted candles and the
flags and banners that hang about in
every direction. But you know very
well-perhaps you knew all along-that
these things did not grow on the
branches. They looked nice, and it
was very pleasant to have your share
of them; but they are not the real fruits
of the tree; they did not come out of it.
Now | have sometimes thought that if
we have not the life of Jesus Christ in
our souls and the love of Jesus Christ
in our hearts, we might compare our
selves to Christmas-tree. And why,
do you think? Because, in that case,
our good actions do not grow out of
ourselves. Let me speak more plainly.
If you do a kind deed because you are
asked to do it and do not know how to
refuse, or because others do it, or be-
cause YOU wish to have something to
fill up an idle hour with-well, your
kind deed does not grow out of your
heart; il is only tied on, like the pretty
presents on the Christmas-tree, and it
is not really worth much. l do not
think that God will regard it, though
perhaps you may be thanked by those
who receive the benefit of your benevo-
lence. God wishes us to be living
treasures bearing fruit, because there
is life in them, like the tree spoken of
in the last chapter of the Bible. Do
you remember it? 1t is described as
being not one kind of fruit only, but
twelve kinds of fruit; and not bearing
for short time only, but all the year
round" every month";" What beau
tiful idea of Christian character. A
life full of kindly acts; a constant sup
ply, and not little done here and
then little done there. A great
variety, too. Sometimes a loving
word, sometimes an act of self-denial,
sometimes a gift of money, some
times thoughtfulness and consider
alton, sometimes a giving way to
others, sometimes gentle look,
sometimes a patient putting up with
the temper and other infrmities of
those round us. What happy world
it would be if we all of us, young
and old, were living trees, thus
bringing forth the fruits of righteous
ness, which are to the praise and glory
of God by Jesus Christ.-Quirer.

The Workingman's Friend.

The observance of the day of rest by
abstaining from the ordinary labors of
life, and turning the mind expressly to
the teaching of religion and the care of
the spiritual nature, is one of the pri-
mary teachings of Christianity. And
upon it hang the best interests of So
ciety, while it is deeply related to
home-life and personal character. The
Sabbath is the workingman's friend.
1t was made for man-for a world of
toilers. 1t is also the friend of the
capitalist. He will receive higher and
better work from men who rest upon
the Sabbath and appropriately use it,
The right observance of it, it needs
hardly be said, tends to healthfulness,
industry, intelligence and sound moral
ity. The Sabbath-keeping people will
have more true comfort and self-respect
and enjoyment of life. Here, as else
where, obedience to the law of God is
the surest way to healthiest living, to
soundest secular prosperity. - Rec.

Stella's Victory.

Stella Vinton had been down town
all alone for the first time in her life to
make some purchases for her mother.
She had walked down and was riding
home. Mrs. Vinton told her that she
might have five cents for herself if
there was any change left, but she had
been obliged to spend all but five cents,
and was naturally little disappointed.
She sat in the car with the fare in her
hand, waiting for the conductor to come
for it.
He came along presently, and she
held it out toward him, but he did not
see it, and went on to the front of the
car, then stepped off the front plat
form, and, waiting moment, jumped
on the rear again.
He's forgotten me. He is not
coming for my fare. 1 shall have to
give it to him when | get out" she
thought.
"No, wouldn't; it is his place to
come for it," the tempter suggested.
That would be cheating. You
have had your ride and ought to pay
for it, whispered conscience.
"Of course, but it's not my business
W MAKE lnc conductor TAKE IL.
6 1t is everybody's business to be
honest"
Ma promised me five cents, too"
But she would not like you to get
it this way"
She need never know. l would
not tell her."
But you would know, aud Jesus
would know, and you profess to be a
little Christian"
So do, and will be, and l won't
cheat"
Just then the conductor called out
Baker street, and Stella Vinton rose to
leave the car. AS she did so she put
the five cents into the conductors hand.
"Thank you," he said, smiling
Stella went home and told her mother
of the temptation.
Mrs. Vinton opened her purse, and,
taking out twenty-fve-cent piece,
put it into Stella's hand.
This is for my honest little girl"
she said, kissing her.
So Stella had double reason to be
glad that she had gained the victory

The Story of Pumpkins Seeds.

Emily lives on farm in Nebraska.
One day her father said: " Emily, take
the hoe and these pumpkin-soeds, and
go out back of the barn and plant them"
So Emily put on her little sun-bonnet
and took the pail of seeds and the hoe
and went out to work. She worked
finely for awhile, but she soon got
tired and careless, and finally tipped
over the pail and spilled a good many
seeds on the ground. She knelt down
to pick them up, but it was such hard
work that she grew tired and covered
them all over with dirt and left them,
About two weeks afterwards her
brother went out to hoe the garden, and
when he came to where Emily had
dropped the pumpkin-seeds he found
they had all sprouted and come up to
tell the story of her neglect.-Congrego-
Hond6st.
