A New Orleans newspaper says that a
squad of confederate soldiers, who were
wearing captured blue overcoats, rode
up to house in Tennessee, during the
civil war, and called out the owner:
Well, old man, what are you, Reb or
Yank?" Old Caution was puzzled by
the blue coats and gray trousers.
Gentlemen" said he, "I'm nothin',
and precious little of that" A similar
spirit seems to have possessed certain
aged negro, whom a writer for the New
York World met some time ago, while
wandering over the battlefield of An
tietam. "Were you here when the
fight took placer" asked the visitor.
"Right yere, sah," answered the white
haired negro. "Then you saw it alp"
"Well, sal, not zackly; but saw all de

How Sleigh Bells are Made.

"The making of sleigh bells is quite
an art" says an iron founder. 1.-THE
little iron ball is too big to be put in
through the holes in the bell, and yet
it is inside. How did it get there? The
little iron ball is call 'the jinglet.'
When you shake the sleigh bell it
jingles. In making the bell the jinglet
is put inside little ball of mud, Just
the shape of the inside of the bell.
Then mould is made Just the shape
of the outside of the bell. The mud
ball with the jinglet inside is placed in
the mould of the outside, and the metal
is poured in, which fills up the space
between the ball and the mould. When
the mould is taken off you see sleigh
bell, but it will not ring, as it is full OF
dirt. The hot metal that the bell is
made of dries the dirt 80 that it can be
shaken out. After the dirt is all shaken
out of the holes in the bell, the little
iron jinglet will still be in the bell and
will ring. 1t took good many years
to think out how to make sleigh bell .

The Seven Wise Men.

ga difference of opinion exists
among authors as to who were the
seven wise men of Greece, and mum.
Der of them are, indeed, in dispute,
some affirming that there were ten,
others that were seventeen" says the
Southeastern Journal of Education
" The phrase is that there are seven,
and then the trouble comes to select the
proper names to make the list complete.
The generally-accepted list is the one
given below. Each was known or
made famous by distinctive motto:
Scion of Athens, whose motto was
Know myself Chic, or Chilon,
of Sparta: Consider the end.' Thales
of Meletos: 'Suretyship is the precur-
sor of ruin,' or Who hateth suretyship
is sure.' Bias of Priene: Most men
are bad Cleobulus of Lindus: The
golden mean or avoid extremes.
Pittakus of Mytilene; Seize time by
the foreluck.' Fernandez of Corinth:
Nothing too much.'"

Gods WAYS.

We cannot always tell what it was
which more especially led to our con-
version. God often works so quietly
that ones conversion is actually COM
pleted ere he is made aware of it. In
deed, every conversion is the result OF
a divine process which has its unfath-
enable depths. God may be prepar-
ing one for his conversion, aud be on
the point of changing him into new
creature, while he is pursuing his evil
course at full speed, as was the case
with the apostle Paul. Man is always,
in many respects, a mystery to himself,
but most of all when the great transit
ton is made from the natural to the
spiritual life. How the thoughts and
emotions which are then born in him
originate he cannot tell. How the di-
vine and human mutually act and react
he does not know. Let his spiritual ex-
periences be ever 90 vivid and clear,
they come from those deep recesses
within, to which none but the divine
eye can penetrate. Gods ways there
are past finding out.
Rejoice to know that you are Gods
workmanship, and that he understands
the nature and capabilities of the mind,
the heart, and the will, and knows how
to touch, control, and guide them 80 as
to work out through them his wise and
loving purposes. Do you feel his
Iquickening touchp Is there an echo to
his call thrilling within you? Is some
divine truth being unveiled to you?
Are you willing to forsake your own
ways and serve God with filial trust and
obedience? Then turn to him, yield to
him, give yourself to him. Do it just
now; and having done so, "be conf
dent of this very thing, that he who be-
gun good work in you will perfect it
until the day of Jesus Christ.-Reu. N.
j. Hofnaeyer IN The Blessed Life.

IN General.
The Glacial Period.

How were the beds of the oceans
formed? What great power lifted up
the continents and mountains? Whence
came the ice-during the glacial period
from one to two miles thick-that
covered large part of North America,
Europe and Asia? How happened ele-
plants frozen into the ice at the North
pole? These questions have never yet
been satisfactorily answered.
When the earth was in a melted
state, no water rested upon it. All the
waters of the earth were overhead, in
the form of steam, shutting out entirely
from the earth the light and heat of the
sun. After the earth cooled somewhat,
rain reached the earth before it was
converted into steam; and after the
earth became still cooler, great hail
storms struck the earth in places, and
piled up the ice many feet deep. The
hills of ice crushed in the thin crust of
the earth, the ice melted, and seas were
formed. The warm earth, and the
light and heat of volcanoes, made it
possible for tropical animals and plants
to make their appearance at the North
pole as well as at the equator.
After the earth became so cool that a
thick crust was formed, and ice was not
quickly melted, all the waters fell to the
earth in the form of mighty hail-storms.
Where the oceans now are, the ice was
from six to ten miles deep and il
crushed in the crust of the earth and
hove up the continents and mountains.
The ice was not so thick where the
continents are, because the earth was
warmer in those places; and in some
parts the ice melted as fast as it fell
The warmth of the sun-the sun could
now shine upon the earth--and the in.
terror heat of the earth melted the ice
and the earth was formed.

What She Said.

She was little Cambridge girl and
not very we'll acquainted with school
discipline. One day she was discovered
whispering, and the teacher sent her to
an ante-room to mediate upon the
enormity of her offense. When she
was again permitted to join her class
mates the teacher asked: "What
were you saying to the girl next to
you when caught you whispering?"
The little culprit hung her head for a
moment, and then replied: - was
only telling her how nice you looked in
your new Dress" "Well, that-yes; l
know-but we must-the class in spell
ing will please stand up."-Bostoa

The Governors Quilts.

The governor of this commonwealth
signs every bill with quill. This isn't
because he is fonder of that particular
kind of pen, but it is rather in obedience
to well established custom that has OBJ
tanned with the chief magistrates of the
last decade. There are always q few
members of the legislature that have the
collectors passion, and requests are
regularly received by Private Secretary
Roads from lawmakers and others for
pens that the governor has used for
signing bills. Accordingly dozens of
these quilts are purchased ever 80 often,
and the governor makes his signature
each time with new pen, which is
carefully preserved and set aside for the
next quill hunter that calls. - Boston

The Religious Paper.

A religious paper is sort Of modern
necessity. Commonly it is good to
take. 1t jostles people out of ruts. 1t
pricks the sides of good intent. 1t
broadens people that read it. 1t puts
parishes in touch with each other, and
with the wide world of Christian activ-
ity and life. 1t slips many a suggestion
into sermon and many seed thought
into heart. 1t lets fly blow at ven-
ture, but the shots tell. 1t furnishes
wholesome reading for the Sabbath.
What with "Sunday school Helps"
Prayer-meeting Expositions, Re-
ligious Notes." World News" "Flats
and Sharps," and Editorials, it is an
unguent, pungent, stimulus and an
inspiration, a help over many hard
place, a comfort to saints and rebuke
to sinners.-Dr. Herrick Johnson.

A Brave Young Operator.

Here is young man whose fortune
ought to be assured in the telegraph
business. The story is told as follows
IN the New York Times: CA fight be-
tween burglars and station agent took
place at the Fanwood station of the
ersey Central railroad lately. Shortly
after twelve O'Clock four rough-looking
men entered the station, and attempted
to break into the ticket office. The night
telegraph operator, plucky and muscu-
ar young fellow of nineteen, was alone
in the office. When the assault on the
door was begun, he promptly tele-
graphed to Plainfeld for help. The
roughs were suspicious of the rafting
of the keys, and demanded instant de-
livery of all the company's funds in his
charge. The operator waited his oppor-
unity, and suddenly pulled back the
catch and let the door open trife, to
The extent of chain which he had
fastened about it. One of the ruffiaus'
heads was within reach, and the oper-
ator threw billet of wood with such
skill that it felled the man senseless to
the floor. Quick as a flash the oper-
ator snapped the door shut again. The
success of this assault angered and
somewhat confused the other three,
and while they were ministering to the
wounded man, the agile young operator
caught them off guard again, and with
short crowbar laid out second rob-
Der. Then he sprang into the outer
room, fourishing cudgel, and attacked
the remaining two. A sharp battle en-
sued, and the brave young operator
was getting the worst of it when the
noise of an approaching hand-car was
heard on the track, and the would be
burglars abandoned the fight and took
TO their heels, dragging their half
stupefied but reviving comrades with
hem. BY the time the railroad men
had arrived on the scene, the robbers
had disappeared in the woods"

The Anvil OF Gods Word.

Last eve paused beside blacksmiths door
And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime;
Then looking In saw upon the floor
Old hammers worn with beating years Of time.
"How many anvs have you had" said l,
ITO wear and batter all these hammers so?"
"Just one," he answered; then with twnkling eye
1.-THE anvil wears the hammers out, you know"
And so, thought, the anvil Of Gods Word

Yet, though the noise of falling blows was heard,
The anvil 10 unworn-the hammers gone
