Science Defeated.

A good many people of the crowds
that went up to Central Park recently
to get little shade from the fierce sun
stepped a moment at the Sixth Aven-
ue entrance in Fiity-ninth Street to
gaze at four unfamiliar plants that
spring up around the foot of grace
ful young maple tree which stands
Just outside the Park wall there. The
earth has been carefully drawn up
about the stems of the plants, forming
little hill, from the top of which a
bunch ST soft green foliage protrudes,
in strong contrast with the dusty, un-
sodded boulevard and the ring of bak-
ed asphalt pavement that surrounds
them all.
80, how prettyw exclaimed a
young girl to her escort; "but what
are they"
"Dunno," replied he: "what are
shey, Mr. n'-this to scholarly-look-
ing man, who was looking intensely
at them.
"I should say" replied the saholar-
ly one, with a wise look, "that these
are specimens of some rare germicida-
aceous or insectivorous plant which
are placed here to kill or drive away
noxlous insects, which would other
wise destroy this tender maple. How
beautiful and sufficient are the works
of nature!i
Come, move on" broke in a police
man, ''don't make crowd here.
Those are four common potato plants.

Running and Praying.

Oneday dear little baby in this
city was sick, and its mamma sents its
brother, four or five years old, after
the doctor. He passed some boys at
the corner of the street, but he did not
stopto play with them. He ran on
as fast as he could until he found the
doctor. When he came back he said:
"Mamna, / ran just as fast as could.
Anticipating his lips to her ear and
whispering-"I did more than that"
What was that, my dear""
81 prayed to Jesus"
"What did you pray to him?"
II prayed, Now i lay me down to
sleep That was not just what |
wanted to say, for l wanted God to
make Harry well: but I could no,
think of the other words, and L was
sure he knew what 1 meant"
And he was right. Even if he
could not think of the words he want
ed, God looked into his heart and saw
what he wanted.

Let the Girls ROmp.

Most mothers havea dread ofromps,
80 they lecture the girls daily on the
proprieties and eXhort them to be
little ladies. They like to see them
very quiet and gentle as possible. The
lot to such children is rather pitiable,
for they are deprived of the fun and
frolic which they are entitled to. Chill
dren--boys and girls---must have exer-
else to keep them healthy. Deprive
them of it and they will fade away
like flowers without sunshine.
Running, racing, skipping, climbing
these are the things that strengthen
the muscles, expands the chest and
huild M the nerves. The mild dose oi
exercise taken in the nursery, with
calisthenics or gymnastics, will mol
inyirorate the system'like good romI
in the open air. Mothers, therefore
who counsel their little girls to play
very quietly, make mistake. Better
the laughing, rosy-cheeked, romplng
e..l than the pale lily-faced one who Is
called every inch lady.
The latter rarely breaks things o'
tears her dresses, or tries her mother:
patience as the former does; but aitel
all what do the tearing and breaking
amount to? 1t is not wise policy tt
put all old head on young shoulders

A COMPASS in Every Watch.

A few days ago l was standing by
an American gentleman, writes a
London editor, when I expressed a
wish to know which point was the
North. He at once pulled out his
watched. looked at it and pointed to
the North. I asked him whether he
had compass attached to his watch.
"All Watches" he replied, "are COM
passes" Then he explained to me
how this was. Point the hour hand
to the sun, and the South is exactly
halfway between the hour and the
figure XII on the watch. For in
stance, suppose it is four o'clock.
Point the hand indicating 4 to the
sun, and II on the watch is exactly
the South. Suppose that it is o'clock !;
point the hand indicating s to the sun,
and the figure X on the watch is due
South. My American friend was sur
prised that T did not know this.
Thinking that very possibly 1 was
ignorant of thing that every one else
knew, and happening to meet Mr..
Stanley / asked that eminent traveller
whether he was aware of this simple
mode of discovering the points of the
compass. He said that he had never
heard of it.---The Lutheran.

MarY'S Lesson.

One day, lovely and bright with
spring sunshine---and there was nt
school that tlay---Mary's father invited
her to take ride with him, as he was
going far up into the country to look
after some woodland. But he was tC
call for another man, a neighbor, who
had the promise of going too.
The little girl was delighted, and
dressing herself quickly, she helped
her father to harness the horse and fix
the carriage. She thought she was
great help, and so she was, for she
brushed out the carriage very neatly,
and held the harness, piece by piece,
for her father, to save his steps, as he
was lame. 1t was q narrow buggy,
and her father said, MARY, perhaps
we shall find there!isn't room for three
when we take in Mr.. Owens. What
shall we do them"
"I don't know, father" was the
quick reply, "unless 1 get out to make
room."
"Well, then," said he, 1--WE will see
when we get there; but if it is too
crowded, I should like for you to give
up your ride for this time, as it is nee
essary that Mr.. Owens should so with
me-"
"All right, father, 1 will?" said the
dear child.
SSure enough, when they reached
their neighbours it was discovered
there was not room for three, and
Mary obeyed her father without say
ing another word. She stayed and
played with Ella Owens till the car
riage came back. and had beautiful
time.
This was a good example for Ella,
for she was not in the habit Of mind
ing SO easily. 81 should think you
would make FUSS" said she, "unless
you didn't really want to CO."
Mary's answer was, 81 wanted TO
do just as my father wanted me
to-"
Happy Mary! This loving obedience
to her father helped her to exercise the
same towards her Heavenly Father,
and she grew up to be sweet christian
woman.
