whom he had imagined crushed in the
tunnel! The revulsion OF feeling was
too great; the minister put up his hand
TO his head, with a cry something be-

back.
There was fiutter and rustic OF
dismay throughout the congregation.
The minister's wife was up the pulpit
stairs in an instant, and she was fol-
lowed by the chairman and the young
Mr.. Llovd. Between them they carried
the minister down into the vestry,

Flowers in South Africa.

In the spring, when rain has fallen for
two MONTHS the Karoo is a flower garden.
As far as the eye can reach stretch blotches
of white and yellow and purple fig flowers.
Every foot of karoo sand is broken up by
small Towering lilies and wax flowers: in
space few feet square you may some
times gather fifty kinds. In the crevices
of the rocks little, hard leaved Towering
air plants are growing. At the end of two
months the bloom is over, the bulbs have
died back into the ground by millions, the
fig blossoms are withered, the Karoo as
sumes the red and brown tints which it
wears all the rest of the year.
Sometimes there is no spring. At inter
walls of few years great droughts occur,
when no rain falls. For ten or thirteen
months the sky is cloudless. The Karoo
bushes drop their leaves and are dry,
withered stalks; the fountains fall, and
the dams are fioored with dry, baked mud,
which splits up into little squares; the
sheep and goats die by thousands, and the
karoo is desert 1t is to provide for these
long rainless periods that all the plant life
in the Karoo is modified. Nothing that
cannot retain life habitually for six months,
and at need for twice that time, without
rain, can exist here.-Fortnightly Review

Affection of storks for Their youp,

The story of the stork that persisted in
the great fire at Delft rather than desert
her unfledged youngsis well known. The
storks that continued to feed their nest
lings through the fearful bombardment Of
Strasburg in the late Franco-German war
also deserves place in history. There are
two pictures, photographs from which we
saw when at Strasburg, of the nest before
and after the Prussian shells had poured
into the town. 1t was placed on large
chimney stack on one of the highest
houses.
The first picture shows the four young
ones comfortably seated in it, one old bird
standing close by while her mate is flying
down with his crop heavy with the results
of his fishing. In the second picture the
roof of the house has been pierced by
shells; an entire house close by has been
burned out, half the chimney stack de-
stroyed and the nest is hanging down in a
perilous manner. One of the young birds
has persisted, but the shells have spared
the remaining three, and the parent birds
are still at their post.-Chambers' Jour

Mr.. Atkinson. story of Garfield.

Mr.. Atkinson, in making one of his IA
vorite points-that, in the words of an
other, happiness consists not in the great
strokes of good fortune which must neces-
sarily come seldom in lifetime, but in the
small comforts and pleasures of every day
illustrated his remarks by an anecdote of
of Garfield. He dated the beginning of his
real life - his intellectual life - from a
speech by Emerson, which he heard in
his college days. 1t seemed to set his
blood on fire. When the speech was over
he rushed from the house and went forth
to contemplate his favorite mountain.
Even that seemed to be on fire
1t was hours before he could grow calm.
Then he tried to gather some recollections
of the address which had so strongly at
fected him, but the only sentence which he
could remember was this, "Men are al
ways as lazy as they dare to be, but never
as lazy as they would like to be-" The i'm
preston of the whole speech was, however,
ffaceable.-Ashland (Mass) Cor. New

FRENCH SOUPS OR eoTTAeEs.

The English versus the French Notions
Concerning the Real Mission of Soups.
The real mission of soups is completely
ignored in England, where soups are iden-
teal with heavy, thick, and. to French no
tions, highly indigestible food The French
consider them only as a forerunner and
preparative to good dinner. Considered
in this light, soups do not require the ex-
pensive foundation often demanded by pro-
fessed cooks in England. English cooks
affirm that they must have four or FIVE
pounds of beef IL they are to make a clear
soup, while French ones boldly retort that
there is no sort of necessity for such ex-
trayagance But when meat is extensively
used for properly made soup, why should
not the meat itself be afterward served as
an entree, Is it simply because it has
helped to make a tasty, delicious soup?
Boiled fresh beef is not perhaps a great
relish, yet when properly cooked has its
merits and helps to make variety. One
eats other boiled meats, as corned beef. legs
Of mutton. boiled fowls, etc The French
cooks make many delightful soups or pot
tages with little or no meat at all And the
great secret of the excellency of French
soups like other French cooking is to
"mitonner." When applied to cooking
nitonne means thing cooked long time
very slowly, and watched with great care.
It is used for other things, but it is gener-
ally applied to soups. Anything mitonne
always conveys the idea of having been
done very slowly with particular care.

Promoting Health,

The English government spends about
$45, oO0, 900 yearly in promoting health in
the kingdom, a very large sum, but it
seems to be a good investment, for the
death rate is gradually diminishing This
is best illustrated by London In the ten
years ending in 1869, the deaths annually
were twenty-four in every 1000 OF its in
habitants. In the ten years ending in 1889
the rate had fallen to twenty. This meant
a saving of about 1900 lives during the
ten years.
Not only, however, were these lives saved,
but there was a corresponding dininution
of the number of cases of sickness, less
misery and an increase in the vigor, health
and happiness of the people.-Herald of

Fruit as a Table Decoration.

Fruit no longer appears as a part OF the
decoration of some dinner tables; it puts
in an appearance at dessert only. The rea-
son given for this change is that the heavy
luscious perfume OF some fruit is out of
harmony with that of the fumes of the
earlier courses, and epicures lose pleasure
in the taste and sight of a dessert which
they have gazed upon during the length of
the repast- The same argument holds
good in regard to richly scented flowers,
which are no longer admitted in dining
rooms Ferns and palms and a few deli
cate blossoms Frightening the greenery
have replaced the lavish display of fra.
grant flowers.
