7 Height of the Tower OF Babel.

The reputed height of this structure
has at times been greatly exaggerated,
some Jewish authorities fixing it at
twelve miles and Jerome quoting con-
temporary assertions for its being four
miles high. These estimates, how
ever, give way to the sober testimony
of Strabo, who states the height at 600
feet, which is the figure generally ac-
copied. The distinction of forming the
remains of the towerof Babel has been
claimed for three masses of ruins in or
near Babylon; but the majority Of
competent antiquarians have declared
in favor of Birs Nimroud, which stood
in Borsippa, a suburb of Babylon,
eight miles distant from that city. Sir
R. K. Porter showed that the summit
had been exposed to intense vitrifying
heat which must have been the result
of fire operating from above, probably
in the form of lightning, thus con-
firming the tradition of its destruction
by fire from heaven. Sir H. f. Raw
linson discovered that it consisted of
seven stages of brick work on an
earthen platform. each stage being of
different color. Its ruins still rise
1853 feet above the level of the plain.
According to Herodotus the tower of
Babel was adorned by colossal images
and statues of solid gold, the value of
which he rated at twenty-one millions
sterling, probably as great an exaggera-
ton Of their worth as twelve miles
was Of the height of the structure

his little nephew, who lives out west
He is boy who is never at loss for

hibited to the juvenile class i'll natural

The tusks were pointed out and she
asked what they were made of.
Ivory, was the correct response.
Now, children, she asked. who can
tell me any articles made of ivoryY
There was painful pause No one
appeared to know. The teachers eye
sought the bright boy, who was never
at loss for an answer. He appeared to
be in brown study. Pretty soon his
hand went up Well, said the teach

Presents.

Oddly enough the average giver sell
dom consults the taste of his friends,
but it is his own taste he gratilies in
choosing the article he wishes TO be-
stow. "A person of refinement and of
educated tastes selects presents with
reference to them. He knows he is
right, and therefore goes ahead If the
recipient doesn't like what is given, so
much the worse for the recipient.
Fortunately, good taste cannot err,
because there are always heaps Of
beautiful and valuable things from
which to choose. But whoever is
about to make his friend a present
must take into consideration several
things. Its utility, its suitability, its
intrinsic worth are paramount De

No Charge.

Mr.. Holmes, hurrying along the
road to catch a train, hailed Farmer
Jones, who passed him in gig,
whereupon Mr.. Holmes asked for a
ride.
Farmer Jones consented, and all
went well for short time; but the
horse was frisky, and after shying at
several objects in the road, at last set
off at mad gallop, to the terror of
Mr.. Holmes, who was nervous and
delicate, and rather afraid of horses.

little glri looked up. while holding her
dead mothers hand, and eaid, "Oh, ]
do wish that God had made more light
for poor folks" Ny dear God will be
your light God will be your shelter,
God will be your home Are you
borne down with the bereavements OF
lifeG Is the house lonely now that
the child is gomez Do not give up.
Think of what the old sexton said when
the minister asked him why he put so
much care on the little graves in the
cemetery-so much more care than ON
the larger graves, and the old sexton
said Sir, you know that of such is the
kingdom Of heaven, and ] think the
Saviour is pleased when he sees SO
much white clover growing around
these little graves" But when the
minister pressed the old sexton for
more satisfactory answer, the old sex
ton said, "Sir, about these larger
graves, don't know who are the
Lords saints and who are not; but
you know, sir, it is clean different
with the BARNS" Oh, if you have
had that keen, tender indescribable
sorrow that comes from the loss of
child, do not give up. The old sex
ton was right. It is all we'll with the
BARNS. Or, if you have sinned, if
you have sinned grievously-.sinned
until you have been cast out by the
church, sinned until you have been
cast out by society, do not give up.
Perhaps there may be in this house
one that could truthfully utter the
lamentation of another:
Once was pure as the snow, but fell
Fell like snowflake, from heaven to hell
Fell to be trampled as filth In the street
Fell to be scoffed at, spit on and beat;
Praying, cursng, wishing to die,
Selling my soul to whoever would buy,
Dealing in shame for morsel of bread,
Hating the living and fearing the dead
WHERE COMFORT Is FOUND.
Do not give up. One like unto the
Son of God comes to you today, say
ing, go and sin no more" while he
cries out to your assailants, LET him
that is without sin cast the first stone
at her." OH there is no reason why
any one in this house, by reason Of
any trouble or sin, should give up.

From the present outlook ] venture
to say that in the course of three or
four years st. Louis will be properly
styled the foster city of building as
sociations. At present there are about
ninety associations in this city doing

the forming of new association every
