An Electric Plant.

In the forests of India there has
been discovered very strange plant,
which manifests a most astonishing
magnetic power. Anyone who
breaks leaf from it receives imme-
diately a shock equal to that which is
produced by the conductor of an in
duction coil. A magnetic needle at
distance of twenty feet is affected by
it, and near by becomes very much
deranged. The intensity of this
singular influence is very variable.
1t is most powerful about two O'Clock
in the afternoon, and almost without
force at night or during rain. No
bird or insect ever is seen to alight
on the electric plant: some intincts
seems to warn them of the danger of
sudden death. None Ofthe magnetic
metals, iron, cobalt, or nickel, are
found where this plant grows, so
that the electric force undeniably
belongs exclusively TO the plant.
The mysteries of light and heat,
magnetism and electricity, make the
leaf and blossom of this wonderful
Indian plant rare botanical
problem. I....

Three May be Needed to Make a
Torch.

In an old Hustle Liturgy are said
to be three small pictures on one of its
pages. There is Wycliffe, the En-
glish refOrmer, striking a light; Huss
the intrepid Bohemian soldier for
the Lord Jesus, is blowing the flame;
then comes the great-hearted German
Martin Luther, bearing the shining
torch. Recall the history of the
great movements leading on to the
Reformation, and we find Wycliffe
kindling the gospel flame in England;
Huss the Bohemian, is stimulated by
Wycliff'r's example; Martin Luther,
fired up and cOnsecrated at a later
date, brings to a successful issue the
labors of the others.
In our humble lives the same law
may ue illustrated. More than one
may be needed to accomplish certain
work for God, but what you do will
not he thrown away. Look around
you. What ought to be done? Say
1t shall be done? Kindle a light; an
other, affected by your example, will
blow your flame; the third will bear
into the night some blazing torch.
But you are looking for some great,
conspicuous work. Take an humble
yet important duty. There may be
boys or girls on your street or in your
school that may be neglecting Sum
day.school. Say some word for Jesus
to another in the school, and yet out
of Christ. 1t may only be the kind
ling of a little light, but in the provi-
dence of God it may be shown that
you were getting ready blazing
torch for the worlds illumination
Oh, kindle light this very day.

Expecting Too Much.

Forward.
In some directions it is quite pos
sible to expect too much; in reality,
it comes from eXacting too much.
We cannot look for too much from
God in the fulfilment of his promises,
but we may hope for too much from
human beings in the realization of
our wishes.
Why are we 50 amazed at the fail
ures of Others? Is any one infallible?
Are We? Is it strange that people

The Shah's Visit to Russia.

The Shah's arrival in st. Petersbu re-
was celebrated with far greater pOmp than
on the occasion of his last visit 10 Russia
in 1878, partly by reason OF the desire OF
the Russian Government to make mp by
cOrdiality OF the welcome for the Sh0ftles&
of his stay, and partly owing 10 the clrcRm-
stance that the extra. military display was
intended quite as much for the Cars pro
lection az for his guests pleasure, thus
Offering 4 brilliant example Of the union
of the useful with the agreeable, The
EmperOr had been strongly dlssuaded from
coming to the capital, owing to the number
of conspiratOrs at large, and to the we'll.
known fact that explosive bombs are seveTah
still in the hands of these desperate and
INSCRIPTIONS characters; but fear not form
ing any p%OrtiOnOfhis Majesty's composition,
the advice was disregarded, and he vel
coined his Royal visitor i'll person at the
Nicholas Railway Station, the soldiers
forming an impenetrable wall on either
side of the route leading from the terminus
to the Winter Palace. The strangeSt I'M
preston on the king of kings seems to
have been made by the gorgeous costume
of the Imperial House Guards, which IN

reaching above the knees, and a helmet

until the Gar smilingly explained to him
who the troops were that wore them ana
the part they are destined to play in the
military system of the country,
Among the numerous dignitarles anu
officials in the suite of the Shah OF Perslay
there was one who was the cynosure OF all
ewes. for he had been much talked ABOUT
before his arrival in the Russian capltal-a
young boy of twelve, whom the Shah mas
covered with honours, dignities, titles
and who is an object of envy n fear TO
most of his Maiesty's Ministers. His name
is GoolamaIi Khan. He is the director OF
the Corps of Royal Pages, and one OF his
titles is Azizus.Sultan, which being inter.
nreted. means +" Favourite of the Monarch"
Not a Minister, not a Vizier, not a Royal
Prince has ever yet been allowed to sit at
the same table as his Majesty, the only
exception to this law of the Persians being

THE UNITED Brethren AT LAw.-An
equity suit has begun in Chambcrsburg
between the two factions OF the United
Brethren Church, which has been prepared
as test case, and will, in all likelihood
decide the ownership of hundreds OF valuable
church properties in this and other States
The suit is between the rival claimants to
the church property in the ChambcrsburS
district and the test case has been made upon
the church property in Grccncasllc. The
complalnants IN the bill are those who up
hold the action of the majority of the Gencr-
al Conference of the United Brethren
Church in the United States, which was
held in York, Pa, in May 1899, and the de,
PENDANTS are the sccedcrs from that confer

Withdrew on account of the adoption OF a

bcrs of secret societies to become members
of the church. The anti secret society fac
tion has caused considerable trouble in this
section of The State, have asserted their
claims by force in half dozen instances,
and SCI ious trouble has occurred at Clay Hi
and Grccncastlc The brethren came to
blows in those places, barr.cadcd the church
against each other, and Il number of arrests
were made, but all have agreed to abide by
the result Of the present equity suit and to
settle the criminal prosecutions. Similar
suits have been brought in Ohio, Illinois and
Canada. The one in Chambcrshury Is re-
