JOY IN THE lord.

If I could take you with me to my home
YOU would think it luxurious one. Ny

table is abundant. You would say with all
this ought to be happy man, and do
from nv heart thank God for all his good
ness to me- Lam indeed happy man, but
do not think my furniture and food have
much to do with it. Every day rise with
sweet consciousness that Goi loves me and
cares for me and know love Him. lie has
parlOncd all my many SINS for Chrlst's
sake, and I look forward to the future With
no dread: bis Spirit, which dwclls in Inc,
reveals TO me that all this blessed peace IL
! only the beginning of joy which is to last
throughout eternity. But supposing 1t were
possible for some one TO convince me that
:his happiness was altogether dellsiOn on
my part, and had no foundation in truth:
that there was no God, no future; that, in
reality, everything happened to Us by
chance; that we drift about the world for
little while, and then disappear. Surprising.

it woull be all dark to me. You see, my

do what some of you say you wish to do

LONELY WORKERS.

Many Christians have to endure the soli-
tude Of unnoticed labor. They are serving
God in q way which is exceedingly useful,
but not ut all noticeable. How very sweet
to many workers are those little corners OF
the newspapers and magazines which de-
scribe their labors and successes; yet some,
who are doing what God will think great
deal more Of at the last, never saw their
names in print. Yonder beloved brother Is
plodding away in little country village; ;
nobody knows anything about him; but he
is bringing souls to God. Unknown to fame,
the angels are acquainted with him, and a
few precious ones whom he has led to Jesus
know him well. Perhaps yonder sister has
a little class in the Sundav-school; there Is
nothing striking in her or in her class; no.
body thinks Of her as very remark kable
worker; she is q flower that blooms almost
unseen; but she is none the less fra
grant. There is n Bible woman; she is men,
toned in the report AS making so many
visits week; but nobody discovers all that
she Is doing for the poor and needy, and
many are saved in the Lord through her in
strumentality. Hundreds of Gods dear SER
wants are serving Him without the eucour-
agement of mans approving eye, yet they
are not a!one-the Father is with them.-[C

Danger in Canned Meats.

A German physician, who has been
making Investigations as to the effects OF
time upon canned meats, expresses the
opinion that preserved meats, .hermetl-
cally scaled, may remain wholesome for
year or more, but after the lapse OF
longer periods of time there is danger in
their use. To guard against the sale OF
such meats which have been kept in
stock beyond the period of safety, he
surgests that the date Of the sealing OF
the package be irdelibly stamped upon
it. This is wise suggestion that should
receive due consideration by those who
are interested in legislation aimed to
guarantee the purity aud wholesomeness
of food articles; and if it is favorably re-
garded all canned goods should be
brought within the scope of any 10"
that may be enacted in accordance with
it. With tho date of sealing plainly
stamped upon each package, dealers
coulo indulge il no deception as to the
age of food articles, and consumers
themselves would be made responsible
for the results of their use. There have
been comparatively few cases of poison
ing BY the consumption of stale canned
foods, but the canned goods business Is
growing so rapidly that it would be vel
to safeguard the people as much as pos
sible in that particular. .--EOenang VS.

A Submerged Forest.

There is to-day in view the top Of ovar:
100 trees of the wonderful submerged
forest of Lake Samanlsh.
Many of them are two and half ifest
out of water and extend along the south
shore of the lake, the group extendin8
three -fourths of mile up aud down theS
lake and from 200 to 800 yards in width
The lake now being about Eve feet low
er than during the winter months the
, tops of the trees are in view. Raphael
iCoombs. while on visit at Ssmanish, !,
made actual measurement of the depth,
of water at the deepest places, where the
largest trees stand, and found 1t over leO
feet.
The largest tree at the surface meas
ured four feet without any bark, and thH9;
tree must have been equal, if not larger
than the one lately shipped from Joice,s
camp, near North Bend, and sent by ratL
to Chicago.
The theory now most believed as to how
this large cluster of mammoth trees be-
cane so submerged is that as at the shore
of the lake at this point the land is Level,
and about a quarter of mile back from;
there the Newcastle coal hills rise very
steep, it is believed that landslide cana
from this hill down gorge, forming o.
dam, which crowded portion Of this
fat land out into the Lake. The bed OF
the lake from the shore pitches worry;

WORDS OF WISDOM.

A man cannot be truly eloquent if he
knows not how to listen.
Tact can afford to smile while genius
and talent are quarreling.
Both courage and fear owe much to
the armed neutrality of prudence.
The seeming length OF a sermon is
generally proportioneo to its needs.
It is expensive economy to make a
part of the truth suffice for the whole.
The balloon route to the top of Olym-
pus has never been successfully travelled.
Virtue and laziness may live together,
but they are not usually on the best of
terms.
All that is wise has been thought
already; we must try, however, to think
it again.
Money and property are costly knife,
but do not use it to hurt, but to distrib-
ute bread.
Beware of the vicious man who pro-
poses to reform his life on the install
ment plan.
It's good rule never to do for the
sake of gain what one wouldn't do for
love or duty.

The PhOlas.

There Is q small species of bigalVe
shell having the remarkable faculty of
boring into the hardest rock. It is one
of the greatest wonders known to the
conchologist. Great blocks of granite
and marble, that have fallen overheard
or been sunk in foundered vessels, have
been found, years afterward, completely
honeycombed by these curious little
borers, they themselves being imprisoned
in the cavity, obtaining their food from
the water that flowed in and out. Many
explanations have been given as to the
method by which they bore into such
extremely hard rocks.
The shell is known to contain aragon-
ite, and some suppose that constant fric.
ton enables the shell to subdue the rock.
Others, again, are of the opinion that
the shell secretes some corrosive fluid
which dissolves the rock and enables the
creature to bore its hole. Some of the
most interesting samples of its work
known to the scientists may be seen in
the pillars of the Temple of Scraps,
Italy. There the land became submerged
long enough for the shell to do its Curl
Gus work. After lapse of ages the land
has now risen, and the holes with their
empty shell ore plainly to be seen. the
marble pillars being comparatively
permeated by them. These and other
exhibitions of its work nave caused
Pholas to be called "the shell miner,
and curiously enough, it is furnished
with Tampa rich blue-white light
that shines out all over the entire body.
Some remarkable experiments have been
made with the shells of Pholas. 1t ap-
pears that they are equally luminous
whether dead or alive, wet or dry. One
scientist who was testing different sub
stances, in view of obtaining light with
out heat, put one of the shells in jar
of milk and use it to read by. In clear
distilled water the light shines with un-
diminished brightness for years. Placed
in honey, the color of the light is turned
to light green; even then, however,
the shell continues to give q good light
for years.-Furm and Fyreside.

Legends About Bclls.

In early times bells were supposed ~
have the power Of driving away evil
spirits, dispensing storms, etc. and down'
even to comparatively recent date SUI
perstitions existed regarding them.
One of the most remarkable OF thesei
was at the little village of st. Filians, In
Pertshire, The villagers there believed
Nthat the chapel bell there possessed thu
power of curing mad people. On TIN;
night before the bell was made use ota
for the purpose the villagers usually az
sembled outside the chapel, and forming
themselves into procession, at the head
of which the bell was carried, entered
the chapel. ~ ~
After the prayer had been said the bell
was securely bound with ropes. Next
day it was carried out, and with great
solemnitY placed upon the heads Of tho
lunatics, but with what result we are NOT
told. It was believed that If this bell
was stolen 1t would extricate itself from
the hands of the thieves and return To III,
place, ringing all the way! For many
years it has been locked up to prevent ~
being put to any superstitious use. sss
There is curious legend connected

"Come to church, Thompson: come 10
church Brown" and so on. Being very
much surprised, he asked what 1t meant
and was told that, having no bells, they
called folks to church in that way. ~ rs
The traveller remarked that it was il
pity so 6ne church should be without
bells, and at the same time asked the
men if they could make three for the
church, promising to pay for them him
self. They undertook to do this. They
were respectively tinker, 9 carpenterl

A Submarine Forest.

For long while past many settlers on

columns that the so-called trees were
probably only variety OF coral, known
as horn coral, which grows in branchy
form, that the Maoris and settlers might
mistake for submarine forest, but until
July 9Th we have not had an opportu-
nifty of inspecting specimen OF this
submarine growth. A piece was dellV-
