was In fun wrath. beating against the dykes
and the tides and the terror were still
rising "Shall 60 TO the FEAST" says the
engineer, TOR shall 60 and help my work
men take care Of the dykesf "Take care OF
tho dykes" he said to himself; ~ must and
will" As he appeared on the wall the men
working there were exhausted and shouted
"Hers comes the engineer, Thank Cod
Thank God" The wall was giving way,
stone by stone, and the engineer had rope
fastened around his body, and some of the
workmen had ropes fastened around their
bodies and were let down amid tho wild
surges that beat the wall Everything was
giving way "More stones!" cried the men.
"More mortar!" But the answer came:
"There is no more!" "Then," cried the
engineer, stake Off your clothes and
with them stop the holes In the
wall" And so, in the chill and dark
ness and surf il was done, and with
tho workmen's apparel the openings in the
wall were partially filed. But still the tide
rose, and still the ocean reared itself for more
awful stroke, and for the overwhelming of
thousands Of lives in the villages. "Now we
have done all we cam" said the engineer;
''down on your knees, my men, and pray to
God for help" And on the trembling and
parting dykes they prayed till the wind
changed and the sea subsidized and the vii
lagos below, which, knowing nothing Of the
peril, we're full Of romp and dance and hilar-
ity, were gloriously saved.
Now, what we want in this work. of walling
back the oceans Of poverty and drunkenness
and impurity and sin is the help of more
wOmanly and manly hands. Oh how the
tides come in Atlantic surge Of sorrow
after Atlantic surge Of sorrow, and the tenn
pests of human hate and satanic fury are in
full cry. Oh. woman of many troubles, what
are all the feasts Of worldly delight, if they
were offered you, compared with the oppor-
tunity Of helping build and support barriers
which sometimes seem giving way through
mans treachery and the worlds assault? Oh
woman, to the dykes! Bring prayer, bring
tears, bring cheering words! Help! Helpl
And having done all, kneel with us on the
quaking wall until the God of the wind and
the sea shall hush the one and silence the
other To the dykes! Sisters, mothers,
wives, daughters of America, to the dykes!
The mightiest catholicon for all the wounds
and wrongs of woman or man is complete
absorption in the work to rescue others.
Save some man, some woman, some child
In that effort you will forget or be helped
to bear your own trials, and in little while
God will take you up out of your disturbed
and narrowing conjugal relation of earth
into heaven all the happier because of pre-
ceding distress. When Queen Elizabeth of
England was expiring it was arranged that
the exact moment of her death should be
signaled to the people by the dropping of
sapphire ring from window into the hands
of an officer, who carried it at the top of his
speed to King James of Scotland. But your
departure from the scene of your earthly
woes, if you are ready to 60, will not be the
dropping of a sapphire to the ground, but
the setting of jessel in kings coronet.

reinforcement. You have other relations,
oh woman, beside the wifely relation. If you
are mother, train up your children for God
and heaven. If you are a member of a
church, help move on its enterprises. You
can get SO much of the grace of God in
your heart that all your home trials will
seem insignificant. How little difference
does it make what your unrighteous husband
calls you, if God calls you his child and
you are an heiress of whole kingdoms beyond
the sky?
Immerse yourself in some kind of outside
usefulness, something that will enlist your
prayers, your sympathies, your hand, your
needle, your voice. Get your heart on fire
with love to God and the disenthrallment of
the human race, and the troubles Of your
home will be blotted out in the glory Of your
consecrated life. Icry out to you, oh woman,
as Paul exclaims in his letter to the Cor
inthians: "What knowest thou, oh wife,
whether thou shalt save thy husband" And
if you cannot save him you can help in the
grander, mightier enterprise Of helping save
the world. Out of the awful mistake of your
marriage rise into the sublimest life Of self
sacrifice for God and suffering humanity.
Instead of settling down to NOPE over your
domestic woes, enlist your energies for the
worlds redemption.

The Canadian "sea Cucumbep."

In the waters surrounding the Atlantic
provinces a holothurian, pentacta from
dosa, Jaeger, very similar to the trepang
of the Malay and Chinese coasts, is found
in great abundance. 1t is called by our
fishermen the ''sea cucumber" or ''sea
pumpkin" A few experiments have
been made on it as an article of food,
and it has been pronounced good, with
the flavor of lobster meat. Trepang, in
the east, is prepared by dipping the live
'.sea cucumber" for two minutes in
boiling water, then cutting open, then
throwing into a second caldron Of boil
ing water and mimosa bark. 1t is finally
dried in the sui and pressed for stowage.
The market value has been quoted at
from five to six dollars per hundred
pounds, and the fisheries are consid-
cred Of industrial Importance. VIII
not some of our ingenious fishermen or
fish dealers make a thorough test of our
own '.sea cucumber" and settle the
question whether there is to be any Cana
dian trepang or not?-Educational Re-

snatched out from under his beak, when
1t was done in q fair scramble. But if

would have got it, had he not been so

practice choking down the rest of his

he would swallow his voice with a gulp,

Economical Locomotive Engineers.

"You have seen the cotton waste with
which engineers rub up their engines2
Well, that isn't as valuable as gold dust,
but every engineer is as careful of it as if
it were. He has a bag in his cab to keep
it in, and when he has used it he puts it
back in the bag with rs much pains as
an old lady would use with her quilt
pieces. Quite the natural thing for him
to do, you say; but there's where you
are wrong. Unless men are trained to
be careful about these things the natural
way seems to be to throw away or other
wise lose more than they save. Now,
suppose every engineer on the road saves
o cents a day by an economical use Of oil
and waste, that amounts to a pretty
penny when you reckon on the thou
sands of engines run by the road. You
see how system and discipline pay!
There's nothing like it!''-Philadelphia

Very Peculiar wedding Rings.

Lieut.. Won Francois, the African ex-
plorer, has recently described a strange
custom among the Bayanzi, who live for
many miles along the Upper Congo. The
custom would seem to make life q good
deal of a burden to their married women.
Brass rods, which are the favorite cur
rency in the country, are welded into
great rings around the necks of the
wives. Many of these rings worn by
the women, whose husbands are well to
do, weigh as much as thirty pounds. and
this burden must be carried around by
the poor women as long as they live.
Frequently" says Lieut.. Won Fran
co.'s, one sees a poor woman whose neck
is raw and sore under the heavy weight,
and in places the skin is rubbed off by
the ring. This is a sure sign that the
ring has been recently welded around
her neck, for after a time the skin be-
comes calloused, and then the strange
ornament produces no abrasion. But
the weight is an Inconvenience; they
never get used to it, and it is a perpetual
tax upon their energies. In every crowd
of women may be seen a number who are
supporting the ring with their hands,
and thus for a time relieving their weary
shoulders of the heavy burden. 1t may
be said that with every movement of
their bodies the rings give them discom-
fort.
"a ring is never put around a wo-
mans neck until she is believed to have
attained her full physical development.
Once on. it is no easy matter to get it off.
The natives have no such thing as a file,
and, though they can hammer a lot of
brass rods into one, it is very difficult
for them to cut the thick mass of metal
in two. Women who increase largely
In flesh after the rings have been fas-
tened on their necks are In danger of
strangling to death, and instances of this
sort have been known to occur.
"Yet these women regard the cum
brous ornament with pride, imagine that
it enhances their importance and beauty,
and wear the burden with light hearts.
Brass is the money Of the country, and
by putting it around their wives necks
the men are pretty certain that it won't
be stolen or foolishly expended. But ii
Is an odd and cruel sort of a savings
