Some two years ago when /

The last ton days examinations in
the English branches, music and tho
languages have been the order of the
Gay. The whole sum up is very salts
faotorily for pupils. parents aud teach-
ers. The primary English branches got
their share in careful examination in

mary geography. The intermediate

netic, grammar, higher and ply steal
geography and United States hisorty.
'rhe advanced classes nearly all showed
q thorough knowledge of the higher
arithmetic, algebra, higher grammar
and rhetoric. the two last being espe-
ciAily applied in their compositions read

ophy and geology classes answered we'll
and showed practical knowledge of the
subjects. Tho young ladies of the
FIRST senior and graduating classes gave
evidences of the advanced grade of their
classes and tho thorough knowledge of
the sciences studied during the term.
The geometry and trigonometry classes

Gated workings IN the exact sciences.

CHAPTER II.
A NEW DEPARTURE.

Perhaps Sarah Paris, as she gave both
hands to Harry, and as she turned and
went upstairs, did not consider that the
incident was exhausted as entirely as he
did. But with the same self-control which
she had exercised ever since the announce
ment of the sleigh ride she held herself on
pleasant thoughts of the various successes
Of the party, and fairly laughed aloud, as to
her poor sleepy aunt she told its brief his
tory. For, as the girl went to her own bed
room, she stopped for moment to tell NJ RS.
Chapman that all was well and that they
had all returned safely after perfectly
splendid time"
The reader may believe it or not, but true
it is that the good girl undressed herself
quickly, did not stop moment 10 look out
at the moon, knelt by her bedside and re-
peated her accustomed prayer, and in less
than minute was sound asleep. If the
ride and conversation with Harry Curwen
had seemed to her in any sense critical, the
crisis was not one which hindered much the
regular course Of her healthy life. Nor had
she any dreams which she remembered,
whether of sleigh-bells or Of sunset, whether

SUICIDE OF SCORPIONS.
Do Snakes Put an End to Their Lives When
Faced by Dangerf

Faced by Dangers
The question as to whether scorpions and
snakes put an end to their lives when faced
by danger, without prospect of escape,
has long been debatable one with natural
lists. Some time ago the. observations of
several persons in India on the subject were
given in this column, in which cases where
both scorpions and the larger snakes had
been known to deliberately commit suicide
were stated with great directness.
Lately M. Serge Noirkoff, of Constanti-
nopIe, gave another instance of the sort in
the pages of La Nature. He caught
halt dozen of these creatures, he says, and
deliberately put the question to the test.
Arranging on the floor circle OF glowing
charcoal, having no break in it, scorpion
was placed in the center. Although the
circle was large enough to prevent the scor-
pion being injured Or even incommoded by
the heat If 1t remained in the middle, the
animal finding itself surrounded by fire,
began to look about for the means of escape.
AT first its movements were slow, but soon
its speed increased, and finally it raced in
frantic fashion around the inner circum-
ference of the charcoal. After racing for
some time in this manner, it retired to the
center of the ring, and deliberately plung-
ing its sting into its back put an end to its
life in a few seconds, after few monvul-
sive movements. The remaing five were
tried successfully in the same way, and each
with like result.

japanese LfbePnlitY.

A missionary lately from Japan tells rs that
1000 Japanese Christians belonging to the mis-
sions of one board gave last year in benevo-
lence and for the churches S41, 900. Consider.
ing the differences in wages, that sum would be
equal to $40 apiece for American Christians
which would mean for the 10000, 900 of Ameri-
can Christians S400, 100000. II our churches
and missionary societies had any such sum in
their treasures, how long would it be before
all the world would hear the gospel2 Scarcely
a single year. 1t does US good to work out
such a sum in arithmetic once in . while.

Workers Needed.

The great demand Of our day is for Christian
workers. Unhappily, unlike other demands,
this does not create the supply. Christians
have no conscience here. They engage in
work of this sort much as city millionaire en-
cages in farming. as pastime, to be attended
to whenever they feel like it. Some are like
the passengers on an ocean steamer, who,
when called upon in an emergency to help man
the pumps, declined on the ground that that
was the business of the crew who were paid to
get wetl
Never before was there time when the call
and the opportunity for Christian work was so
great. But one difficulty is that we all have too
many occupations. "Our time" as some one
well says, lis frittered away on miscellaneous
pursuits. Our strength is wasted over too wide
surface. We are not very good scholars, nor
very good politicians, nor very good artisans,
nor: very good men of affairs, nor very good
worldlngs, nor very good Christians, from try
ing to do little in several of these characters;
and some who do confine- themselves TO one
thing, are so dereely in earnest about that one
thing, as to have little time and strength for
religious Advancement"
Emerson never said a truer thing than this:
THE secret of success in any sphere Is concen-
tration not dissipation" If Christians would
concentrate their thought, money, efforts the
world could be converted in a generation. We
have got the machinery-the thing lacking is
steam Our churches need Conservation,
There are splendid exceptions, but the rank
and file Of the Christian army are looking at
duty in order to see where and how they can
dodge 1t.
