Lost.

Stories are told of guides who have
dropped sticks into streams to find
which way they were flowing and
when the sticks went in a different
direction from what they thought was
right, disregarding their plain testi-
mony. and avowing that the stream
was running up hill. says Forest and
StTeHne
Other stories are told of hunters who
have been found frozen to death IN the
depths of tangled swamps with COM
passes picked to pieces because they
would not point the way the Devil
dered man thought they should, and
so were plainly out of kiIter
These stories, though individually
unreliable, bear witness to Il general
truth. The fact is that it is the easiest
thing in the world under certain Cir
cumstances to become turned around
in the woods, and no one is exempt
from this failing.
Old hands know and understand this
fact. 1t is only the tyros who do not
and who rIdicule those who own up to
having been lost. And when these
scOffers 90 into the woods themselves,
nine times out of ten there comes a
night when they do not turn up at the
camp. Then there is rejoicing among
those who have borne their arrogance
for it is the turn of these to crow, and
they who laugh last laugh best.
In fiat wooded country with the
sun obscured and no compass to guide
him. the best woodsman is apt to lose
his way. Under less favorable condi-
tons the same thing often happens
from preoccupation. Interest in hunt
ing or fishing drives away all thought
of ones course till suddenly he is
rudely reused to find that he is in an
unknown wilderness with no notion of
the way out.

The Anatomy of the Oyster.

A clam i considered Us the emblem
of stupidity and callouSneSs. But YOU
will make rs great a mistake if Yea
put the oyster in the same category as
when YOU class Chinaman and a
japanese together. The oyster is ST.
strong of muscle. as we all know, that
no human fingers are able alone to
open the doors of his domicie if he
chooses to keep them closed; liver and
stomach aud digestive organs he has.
all as sensitive as ours; respiratory
organs as complicated us the human
lungs; machinery for obtaining his
water supply and for preventing an
overflow, and wondrouslv contrived
mechanism for the trapping of his
food. Finally, be has a heart whose
pulsations may be seen after his house
has been torn from him. With this
very limited understanding of the an
atomy of the oyster it is not difficult
TO comprehend how cultivation aud
care may not only improve its outward
appearance ard augment its lines of
beauty, but how they also cause the
quality of its meat to surpass that of
the natural or uncultivated oyster
dS uucH as SIdIu-ieu pOuilrF sur pdSSeS
the product of the barnyard. When
your host places before you oysters
that are plump and round and thick
and deep and light-colored, and man
tied narrowly by fringe quite thick
to tie very edge, then you may be
sure that they have not only lived with
few disturbances but under a high
state of Scribner.

A NOTE OF PR 0GREsS.

The Christian Union has an
account of a new theological SEM
mary which is now being organ
lied in Colorado, which is worthy
of note. 1t appears that this SEM
mary is to be entirely undenomin-
ational, its professors being selec-
ted for their proficiency and emf
nence in the branches assigned to
them, without reference to the par
ticular sect with which they may
happen to affiliate. The school in
other words is to be, not Baptist
or Presbyterian or Unitarian, but
Christian simply. For example,
the Professor of Ecclesiastical His
tory is to be Bishop Spaulding of
the Episcopal Church the Ethics
of Social Reform will be taught by
Congregationalist; a Unitarian
lectures on Comparative Religion
the Professor of Systematic Theo'
logy will be a Presbyterian, while
the Dean Of the Faculty is Baptist
A school like this can hardly
fail to be widely useful, and the
progress of this one will be watched
with interest by lovers of progress
everywhere. The plan adopted
does not necessarily imply tina
sects are a bad thing, and should
be done away with. If there is any
use or validity in the distinction
which are drawn to separate be
levers of various shades, thos
distinctions will be able to surviv
a training like that proposed to b.
given at this Colorado school. Blu
the disposition to dwell on thes
lines of division and to exaggerat
their Importance, will be weakened
as men of various shades of belle
sit side by side and listen to tn
truth expounded, not from th
point of view of any particula
sect, but from that of all, or bette
still from that of modern Christ
anity simply.

emn reports on silly and trihing
petitions which deserve to be
buried in the waste basket. AS
result perhaps of this fidelity on
the part of committees, the House
has shown in general disposition
to follow their recommendations
which is one of the few encourage
ing features of the session.
Part of the morning and the
whole afternoon were occupied IN
the consideration of the Appropria'
ton bill. Section l is now about
finished, nothing remaining except
a few deferred items, which it
should not take long to dispose of.
With Section / passed, the work
of the House in this direction
would seem to have run against a
snag, for it would be rather absurd
to take up Section 2, while the
Cabinet question remains unset
tied. The course to be taken III
regard to Section 2 must neces
sarily depend upon the financia
policy of the Government, SO tha'
it would seem necessary to leave
the matter in allegiance until WE
can get Government and a finan
cial policy. At present we arr
drifting without either.

counsel obtainable. Unless wit
