day. He took for his text the 2Sth and goth
verses of the vii. chapter of Matthew-"And it
came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings
the people were astonished at His doctrine. For
He taught them one having authority, and not
as the scribes." Mr.. Albert said. in brief, that in
these verses the writer gives an idea of the eff
feet of Christs personal teachings. His influence
among men was not like that of any other teacher
for Never man spake like this man spake." The
influence Of Christ upon the lives of those with
whom He came in personal contact was marked
and lasting. His first influence is to draw men to
Himself. Almost universally the first impulse is to
follow Him. Men reach point. however where they
must either decide absolutely for Him or against

How Animals Initiate the Strategy of
Man.
Indian wolves have been seen to leave
some of their number in ambush at points
on the edge OF the jungle. while others
drove in antelOpes feeding in the open
ground beyond. But wolves. as a rule,
hunt alone or in families. except when
pressed by hunger. Wild dogs, however.
habitually combine to hunt. and Baldwin,
in his "Game of Bengal" mentions a case
of four or five martins hunting fawn of
the ''muntjac'' or barking deer. But in.
real military organization and strategy.
monkeys are far ahead of all other animals,
and notably the different kinds Of baboon.
Mansfield Parkns gives an excellent &C.
count of the tactics of the dog faced hama
dryads that lived in large colonies in the
cracks in the cliffs of the Abyssinian
mountains. These creatures used OCCASION
ally to plan tOraging expedition into the
plain below. and the order of attack was
most carefully organized. the old males
marching in front and on the TANKS, with
few to bring up the rear and keep the rest
in order. They had code of signals, halt
ing or advancing according to the banks of
the scouts. When they reached the corn.
fields, the main body plundered while the
old males watched on all sides. but took
nothing for themselves. The others slowed
the corn in their cheek pouches and under
their armpits. They are also said to dig
wells with their hands and work in relays.
The Gelada balloons sometimes have battles
with the hamadryads. especially when the
two species have a mind to rob the same
field. and. if fighting in the hills, will roll
stones on to their enemies. Not long ago
colony of Gelada balloons. which had been
fired at by some black soldiers attending
duke of COburg GOtha on hunting ex-
petition on the borders of Abyssinia,
blocked a pass for some days by rolling
rocks on all corners. This seems to give
some support to curious objection raised
by Chinese local governor in a report to
his superior on the difficulties in the way of
opening to steamers the waters of the Up
per Yang-Tse. The report, after noting
that the inhabitants on the upper waters
were ignorant men who might quarrel with
strangers. went on to allege that monkeys
inhabited the banks. and they would roll
down stones on the steamers. 1.-The last
two facts" the report added. would lead
to complaint from the English and embroil
the Celestials with them, especially if the

It's rather odd, but it's true, that the

they are, and this especially applies to
Grape. A good Grape may be worn for

growing rusty in very short time and
looking like mitigated woe and suggest
ing nothing SO much as grief that will

French women thoroughly under
stand the art of mourning, as they do
every other art of dress, and they realize
that the English woman who walks
with a huge veil over her face and ex-
tending far down her back may be u
monument Of woe, but is really also s,
blot upon the face of the earth. In
stead, the Partisan has arranged on her
street gown full front of Grape, and
by full one means covering the entire

Don't BE n LObator.

A lobster when left high and dry
among the rocks has not sense and en-.
ergy enough to work his way back to
the sea but waits for the sea to come
to him. If it does not come he remains
where he is and dies, although the slight,
est exertion would enable him to reach
the waves, which are perhaps tossing
and tum bling within yard of him.
There is tide in human affairs that
casts men into tight places,'' and
leaves them there like stranded lob.

the breakers have flung them, ex.
pecting some grand billow to
take them on its big shoulde,

LONDoN'S FISH MARKET.


guago.
The word '1sillingsgate" has, strange
~ enough. been transferred from the
place itself to the language spoken
there. For Webster says: The word
is from a market of this name in Lon
don, celebrated for fish and foul lam
guage." A visit to this renowned fish
market in these days will perhaps give
one better idea of the place than
Webster's explanation.
There is considerable slang and good
patured chatting among the buyers and
sellers, but one is not overwhelmed by
that torrent of foul language he has
been taught to expect from his associa-
tions with the word. The best time to
visitthe market is on Friday morning.
The wooden, barn-looking square,
where the fish is Sold; is crowded soon
after o'clock with shiny cord-jackets
and greasy caps.
Everybody comes to Billingsgate in
his worst clothes, and no one knows
the length of time coat can be worn
until he has been to q fish sale. Over
the hum of voices are heard the shouts
of the statesmen. who, with the white
aprons, peering above the heads of the
mob, stand on the tables, roaring out
their prices. All are bawling together
statesmen and hucksters of provisions,
hardware and . newspapers-till the
place is perfect Babel of competition.

signature is equally culpable in the
face of the law.
In regard to the first mentioned de-
feet in the report of the board the cases
of the Auditor General VS.. Reynolds
and of the Auditor General W.. Roberts,
decided OH Dec. 3, 1890, in the Supreme
Court, are precedents in point. In the
Second syllabus it reads;
"The failure of the county board of
supervisors to equaliZe the assessment
rolls of the several townships and to
enter on its records the amount added
to or deducted from the valuation of
each township, rs required by Public
Acts, Mich, 1880, No. 1913, is a jurisdic-
tional defect, which will invalidate the
entire tax levy"
1t should be remembered that in
each case these are irrevocable decis-
ions of the Supreme Court which may
at any time be brought to bear upon
the present state of affairs. They dem
onstrate the whole tax levy of the late
board of supervisors rs void. The
board of supervisors have been COM
pletely foiled. They planned to levy
taxes on II millions in the country
which did not exist, and to lower the
cities a J million on their own assess
ment. We have seen how the whole
arrangement has failed. Those men
in the rural districts who feel the un-
fairness of the burden have decided
not to pay their taxes and no force can
compel them. Here is case in which
every man should stand up for his
rights. He need not pay on this un-
fair equalization and should not. The
board of supervisors are alone to blame,
and will alone pay the penalty. A
man with the firmness to assert his
right in this case will have the Supreme
Court to back him.
