AN OBJECT LESSON.

How Preachers Son Was Made to SEQ
the Difference.
a certain clergyman of Missouri has
recently given his harum-scarum, scupc-
grace son an illustrated lecture which
he will not soon forget, and the story
has just reached ST. Louis through a
late meeting of ministers. 1t appears
the clergyrnan's son shocked the good
Parishioncrs by his display of fnst
horses and paste diamonds and his fond
ness for rapid things generally. At
last he broke through all the rules of
country behavior by driving two fast
horses tandem along the streets of tho
town. Several of tho clcrSymans
friends called upon tho father and asked
that he put some sort of curb on tho
sons tandem driving. That evening
the minister demonstrated with the
young fellow upon his follics, and di-
rected that he display no moro tandem
teams. The son heard the lecture
with patience, and then asked:
well, father, what is the difference
between driving horses alongside and
one before the othcr2 fail TO see the
point"
"My son." said the clergyman, "there
are a great many points in life you fail
to see as yet. But as to this one, the
difference is one of grave significance.

The Gar in Plain Clothes.

When the emperor of Russia passed
privately through Berlin the other night
he was attired in plain clothes, and it
was the first time that he had ever ap-
peared in public thus arrayed. The EN-
perors towering figure was not displayed
to advantage in a loose suit of brown
tweed, especially when contrasted with
the splendid Russian uniform in which
Prince Frederick Leopold appeared, and
his majesty was the only parsonage in
plain clothes. The emperor, who stopped
for nearly an hour at the Stettin line
station. dined on sandwiches, which he
washed down with several bowls of tea,
which was made on the spot by his own
servants, with his own caravan tea

Intelligent missionary Enort.

The Rev. DR.. StorFs, the president of
the American board of commissioners for
foreign missions, has good reasons for
felicitating himself on the result of his
concilatory policy. The boards receipts
for this year have been $500, 1921, against
$465, ,372 the previous twelve months
To manage successfully a board which
has such interests under its charge as
this one, something more is needed
than determination to crush out all in
telligent dissent, and keep the vast ma
chine in operation along lines not at all
adapted to increase the support of foreign
missions, even among those inclined in
their favor. The Rev. DIR. Storrs, with
his broad outlook, has called halt to
those elements which were reducing the
annual contributions for that object

Egyptian Statues Unearthed.

The correspondent of the London
Times at Alexandria, Egypt, states that
three colossal statues, ten feet high, of
rose granite, have just been found at
Aboukir a few feet below the surface.
The discovery was made from indica-
tions furnished to the government by a
local investigator, Daninos Pasha. The
first two represent in one group Rameses
II and Queen Hentmara seated on the
same throne. This is unique among
Egyptian statues.
The third statue represents Rameses
standing upright in military attire, a
scepter III his hand and crown upon
his head. Both bear hieroglyphic in
scriptions, and both have been thrown
from their pedestals face downward.
Their site is on the ancient Cape Zephyr
ium, near the remains of the temple of
Venus and Arsinoe. Relics of the early
Christians have been found in the same
locality.

Green sIoths.

The sloths at the Geological gardens
are not quite so green as they were when
they first arrived. We do not refer to
their growing recognition of the fact
that nuts and buns are not suitable food
for an arboreal creature which subsists
upon leaves. but to u literal change of
color. 1t is most remarkable fact that
the sloth has in the wild state green hair,
which causes it to resemble, as it clings
to a branch, an excrescence of that
branch covered with greenish gray Ii
chens. In this way the sloth may perhaps
sometimes escape the keen eye of ja-
guar.
It is still more remarkable that the
green color is not resident in the hair it
self, but is due to the presence of guam
titles of minute green plants; and this
explains how it is that in captivity the
sloth changes color; the plants, deprived
of the damp heat of their native forests,
die, and are not replaced, so the peculiar
gray green which is SO characteristic of
the sloth is changed to a brownish gray
