Ocean Study.

Ocean study is most interesting,
and surprises OF all astonishing nature
meet one at every step The ocean
is supposed to average three miles in
depth. If so, and the waters of the
basin were dried up, there would be
q layer Of salt left $50 feet deep.
The ocean, by evaporation, is reduced
In depth every year by fourteen feet.
Much of this water is carried by the
clouds to the land, where it falls In
showers, making the fields fruitful
ind the earth babitable, and then by
streams returning to the ocean again.
The sun, in its evaporating process,
lifts no particle Of salt, draws to the
clouds only the freshest Of water, and
The earth, after refreshing use, faith
sully returns the full measure Of the
waters loaned to her from the seas.
That is to say, the sum Of the waters
pouring into the ocean from the land
is exactly equal to that water drawn
from the ocean by evaporation that
falls on the land. The sea 10 always

GREAT MEN.
They Wore All UnpsrdonabTy Ugly Look

They We're All UnPerdonab'y Ugly Look
Ing.
Isn't it strange tHat nature made
her great men so unpardonably ugly?'
queried S. T Lea ohe, as he turned a
portrait book OF celebrities in the
corridors OF the LipGell. Take the
whole lot, from Socrates to Bismarck,
from Pisistratus to Patrick Henry,
and there is not half dozen men who
rose to real greatness who could, by
the boldest exercise Of poetic license,
be called handsome. Byron was
probably one OF the best-looking OF
the lot, and he had a club foot, was
mentally deformed and morally de-
praved. Burns was nne-looking
fellow, but he is one OF the
minor great-cannot be classed
with the world compellers. Yoltaire
was excusable for being in bad humor
with his Creator. He looks as though
one Of natures journeymen' might
have made hun. Our own Henry
Clay was so homely that he had TO
use the horse trough for a mirror
and Lincoln had no use for an 'amo-
rous looking-glass. 1t IS strange,
too, how few great men look the

to govern you, Does He do it?
WE love flowers most when we do
not need bread.
THERE is no spiritual life where
there is no love
IT never takes liar long TO blind
himself with his tongue.
1T takes a great deal of humility to
be as humble as an angel.
THE right kind of ambition is never
hurt by being disappointed.
THE prodigal's first wrong step was

GOD has never yet made anybr, ~

We must be willing to belize Christ

A BOILING tea kettle does its best
10 whistle like a steam engine.
No MAN ever thinks offailing until
he has stopped trusting in God.
UNTIL we are willing to be guided
we are not willing to be helped.
THE divine commission is not to
defend the gospel but to preach it,
WHEN we comply with Gods condi-
tiOns God is responsible for results.
YOUTH's greatest danger lies in its
determination to have its own way.
THE hungriest men on earth to-day

To Re able to say that God is near

WITH all his practice the devil has

THE love Of God for us is the only

NOTHING strengthens our heart like
knowing that we are right with God
IT is hard for the Holy Spirit to oil
a man who is already full Of himself.
REAL trust in God expects to see a
giant fall every time it twirls its
sling
THE cross we pick out for ourselves
generally looks nice, but it is always
heavy.
If you are in trouble don't expect
sympathy from people who have never
had any.
If you want those around you to be
religious, you must make your religion
attractive.
No MATTER where you see a sin, YOU
may know that there is a Judgment
on its track.
IT is a serious thing to die, but a
much more serious one to live, and
not live right
THE man who breaches the real
gospel of Christ will give emphasis to
it with his life.
THE rest of Christ is only for those
who can be happy without having
their own way.
GOD never stops trying to use an
earnest man because he now and then
makes a mistake.
GOD will hear no prayer that does
not come from a heart full Of good
will for every one.
IT is hard for God to do much for
men who think they can get happiness
by getting money.

Double jacket fronts, the outer ones

LOOK TO YOUR HANDS.

When the hand is broad the uurelent-
ing cuff or tightly fitting wristband
makes it appear doubly so; so also does
the fashion of wearing little finger
ring. Rings on any but the third finger
aggravate the breadth and give a roturler
effect in spite of the exertions OF the
manicure. In the choice Of rings and
their disposition on the hand much art
NAV be brought to bear. On fat hand
pearls look we'll; on bony one they
look atrocious-at least, the hands do.
1t may be difficult to persuade our faiI
friends that bony hand is best left alb.
solutely alone aud unadorned, that
precious stones but add to its hard aud
horny look.
Red hands should shun contiguity
with pearls, turquoiSes, or even diamonds.
Fine old signet rings, black pearls, sap.
phires, onyx, antique intaglii and lapis
lazuli, or pigeon blood rubies, are the
most suitable ornaments, il decoration
be hungered for. Informed 6nger-nails,
whatever the teaching Of the manicure,
should never be highly polished. Al
mond- shaped TIPS, lustrous as gems, are
fascinating to a degree; but an un-
natural gloss is aptto make square, un-
.shapely nails terribly prominent. Even
when taper fingers terminate in lengthy
nails whose shape is irreproachable, IL
there be opacity beyond the flesh they
have no attractions, and careful cutting
and trimming should be resortsd too.-
