Thanking God for Our Thorn.

DR.. George Matherson of Scotland
is totally blind, and yet he is one of
the most learned and gifted men in
all Britain. He was member of the
Pan-Presbyterian Alliance of B -lfast
in 1884, and no man in all that body
of great men was heard with more
profound attention than he. In ora
torical power he had few, if any,
equals in that body of eloquent men.
He spoke with such fluency. power
and magnetism that he swept every
thing before him.
1t is beautiful to witness the sweet
ness of the spirit of such a man. AL
though he lives, and must always
live, in total darkness, yet he is
cheerful and happy-hearted Christian.
The following touching words from
his pen ought to strengthen the Chris
tian patience of Gods afflicted chill
dren:
''My God, 1 have never thanked
Thee for my thorn. [ have thanked
Thee a thousand times for my roses,
but not once for my thorn. | have
been looking forward to world
where [ shall get compensation for
my cross, but | have never thought
of my cross as itself present glory.
Thou Divine love, whose human path
has been perfected through sufferings,
teach me the glory of my cross teach
me the value of nv thorn. Show me
that / have climbed to Thee by The
path of pain. Show me that my tears
have made my rainbow. Reveal to
me that my strength was the product
of the hour when | wrestled until the
break of day. Then shall | know
that my thorn was blessed by
Thee then shall [ know that my
cross was a gift from Thee, and |
shall raise a monument to the hour
of nv sorrow, and the words which ]
shall write upon it shall be these cit
is good for me that l have been af
flicted."

Australians Pastoral Areas.

Australia has in her vast pastoral
areas sources of wealth as great and
more permanent than those of her
mines Already she has nearly 100,-
600, 900 of sheep, which in the mild
climate and under the sunny sky of the
country require no shelter throughout
the year and no food beyond what
they get on the open plains. 1t is true
that the sunny sky may change to a
sky of brass, and that drought is the
dread of the Australian shepherd, herds
man and farmer Occasionally there
is Il succession of dry seasons, and then
sheep have persisted by millions and
cattle by thousands on the more re-
mote stations.
To master recurring droughts is the
great problem Of Australians inland
future. Here, as elsewhere, nature
challenges mans free advance and
places some special obstacle in his way.
Australians are facing their task with
energy, confidence and with promise of
much success. They have learned the
art of drawing wealth even from scrub
land, of which a single sheep requires
several acres for its support Irriga-
ton works on a large scale have been
begun in Victoria and south Australia.

BATTLING WITH sNoWeALLs.
Struggle Between the Girl Sophs and
Freshies of Smith College.

struggle Between the Girl Sophs and
Freshies of Smith College.
Smith college girls have just had
novel experience. 1t was a SNOWFALL
battle between the ''sophs" and fresh
les" and the former won after spirited
fight. The sophs were led by Capt.
Wilcox and the freshies by Capt. Gain.
The young ladies were dressed in their
gym" suits, and were prepared for a
regular rough and tumble racket. The
signal for the commencement of hos
tilities was given by the gymnasium in
structor. Miss Adams, and the fun be-
gan. Capt Wilcox's shot hit daring
freshman in the front rank directly on
the right ear.
A cheer went up from the fort, and
the old gold banner was waved aloft;
but one shot does not win a battle The
freshmen had marched upon the cam
pus with determination to win the
fort, and the flag if they could, in the
half hour allotted to the battle. The
most reckless sailed up to the very
walls. Here they met perfect volley
of grapeshot, from which all but one
tall, handsome brunette f1inched
She threw three balls inside the fort
at three of the largest sophomores with
unerring aim. One hit a set of daz-
cling white teeth, another would have
pierced the heart had it been bullet,
but before the third had taken effect
there was Il sophomore ciccr. A bold
sortie had been made, and sophomores
were mauling the daring besieger, but
for a moment only. The freshmen
rushed back like n drove of prairie
ponies wildly charging. Then began a
hand TO hand encounter which mud
died the amateurs with kodat1s awfully.
1t was muscle, and nothing else
why, those hOrrid things actually
threw me down and walked on me-"
said one of the sophomore lieutenants
Indignantly.
The cascades of hair came tumbling
down like Humpty Dumpty, and one
warriors eye had dismal hue There
was some ''tackling' that would have
don" credit to football at Jarvis field
The Chicago and Pennsylvania re-
cruits distinguished themselves by spe-
cial acts of bravery. Again and again
did the crimson freshmen enter the
fort, until it looked as though they
would rout the gold utterly, but the
plucky sophs succeeded in driving back
the invaders at every onslaught. When
the bugle blew at the end the sophie
mores held the fort, with their golden
banner still floating New York |

The Book of Life.

Every man makes the book of his
life day by day as he lives, and at his
death the pages are turned over by his
friends, and by his record each one is
judged Each later line in the poem
of life should add something to the
opening lines Each succeeding year
should carry ones politics, character,
creed and religion Il little higher One
of the dangers to this country is the
increasing tendency to devote life to
pleasure seeking.
Nothing should displace laughter 1t
adds TO life But there is not a more
pitiable spectacle than that of an adult
life wasted in pleasure. Some central
utility should rise in every adult life
The census takers could not tell how
many people in this country are de-
voting themselves almost wholly to
pleasure.
The rapid accumulation of wealth
may have lured a million, perhaps two
millions, of people from their useful
ness. Next in evil to the devotion to
pleasure is the struggle for notoriety.
The book of life should be shown only
to its writer. Certain parts of life are
inexpressible, and every soul has
world of its own in which there can be
no reporters footprint. - Professor

Manners. Not NIannerism.

''Men's behavior" observes Bacon,
should be, like their dress, not too
straight or point device, but free for
exercise or motion" There can be no
genial fellowship between affable,
courteous people and your stiff backed
Journalists; while the intercourse of the
latter with one another is necessarily
dull and dreary to the last degree.
They can no more enjoy society in
their strait jackets of cold reserve
than wretch in the stocks could en-
joy the hilarity of the crowd around
him. Whoever desires to make friends
should be cordial and conciliatory
Nobody cares for automatic men and
women who seem to go by clock work,
and to want Oiling at that. The error
of utter unreserve should be avoided,
too. 1t is less repulsive than its Oppo-
site, but it does infinitely more mischief
\ man had better seal up his thoughts
and feelings in his own breast than
.sputter them forth, in season and out of
season, TO everybody he meets. Such
ucontinency of speech is sure to make
me person guilty of it unpopular, and
70 create general embarrassment and
alarm in the circle in which he moves

Hard, Common Sense.

You hear and read great deal
about the tyranny of parents who re-
fuse to sanction marriages, but that
which is called tyranny is in many
cased hard, honest common sense and
good judgment, based on experience
aud observation.
No father who has reared his girl
at great care and expense, giving her
the best education his means will af-
ford, developing her into an attract
i've thing of beauty and culture, with
chances for the highest happiness and
good in life, wants her thrown away
on some brainless unprincipled fop,
who hangs around saloons and smokes
the vilest of cigars, or cigarettes, day
and night, softening what little brains
he originally possessed.
A girl who will 60 back on the
wise, loving, disinterested counsels
and advice of her parents, and wrecks
her bright prospects Of life in union
with such a worthless scamp, who is
principally attracted to her by the
shekels of his prospective daddy-in
law, deserves to be miserable all her
days and break her heart as she will,
surely. oy such thoughtless, incon-
siderate course of conduct, those of
her loving, doting parents
1t is the natural duty of parents
sternly TO protect their unexperienc-
ed child against marriages with such
Adventures, who have not enough
mind and vim to earn a living for
themselves alone, much less wife
and family, which are the inevitable
| outcome of marriages.
Look around you! See the social
and personal wrecks of life caused
by improper marriages.
They fill the world with misery
and woe.
1t is the loving, sensible, consider
ate girl who will, without question,
take the advice of her older and ex-
perienced mother and father on so
important matter as marriage. 1t
is safer unhesitatingly, for her to take
their advice, and she Will yet live to
thank them on her Bonded knees for
their advice and action.
Girls, stand by your parents ! Trust
them and do just what they say!

1t has incidentally come to my
knowledge that you occasionally
make complaints because Of the
small sums received for your Dairy
skins. The fault is your. own, for
if you would take them off and
properly care for them you would
rarely find a skin that would bring
you less than 80 cents, and a great
many of them would bring you 60,
70 and even 80 cents each.
Poor skins, like poor butter, are
poor property and bring a poor
price. 1t will cost you only a
penny for postal card on which
to send me your address, to secure
full printed directions as to the
proper method Of taking off and
caring for your calf skins. [ will
very gladly mail these to you free,
postpaid, if you will send me your
name and SO request.

John Desbouvrie, who resides at
Roubaix in France, has exhibited there
fifteen swallows that he has trained
after the manner of carrier pigeons.
The swallows were set free, each one
marked with colored ribbon, and
they dispersed in all directions In fiji
teen minutes later the first one returned,
and perchcd on one of DeSbOuvrie's
fingers; one after another the others
came back in quick succession. Des-
bOuvrie is of the opinion that swallows
are far superior to pigeons for the car

is higher and swifter, and they are
more reliable, smarter and more easily
