Tho young Hhild jesus had garden
Full OF roses rare and red
And thrice q day he watered them
To mnke a garland for his head.
When they were fun blown in the garden.
BE called the Jewish children there,
And each did pluck himself a rose
Until they stripped the garden bare.
And, now. how will you make your garland,
For not q rose your path adornsl,
But you forget" he answered them
That you have left me stIIl the thorns.~
They took the thorns and made garland
And placed it on his shining head.
And where the roses should have shown
Were little drops of blood instead.

A story is told OF the Moorish prince
Abul Hejex, who was thrown into prison
for scdition by his brother Muhammed,
king of Granada There he remained for
several years. until the king, fearing he
might escape, place himself at the head of
a fresh revolt and seize theI crown, ordered
one of his pashas to see to his immediate
execution. Abul lIejex was playing at
chess when the pasha came and babe him
prepare for death. The prince asked for
two hours respite, which was refused.
After earnest entreaty he obtained permits
sion to finish his game. He was in no
hurry about the moves, we are told, and
well for him he was not, for before an hour
had elapsed a messenger brought the news
that Muhammed had been struck dead by
apoplexy, and Abul was forthwith pro-
claimed king of Granada.
1t was indeed small favor for the pasha
to grant, but it altered the whole current
of the kings career, and it is to be hoped
that when from prisoner the latter became
ruler he possessed that quality which king 8
are said not to have-that of gratitude to
his unwilling preserver. If the pasha was
not suitably rewarded, then truly was Abul

Rev. E. L. Hubbard thinks 1t highly
important that more attention should
be given by parents, teachers of the
Sunday schools, and claes leaders to
induce the young people to join the
church. and stimulate them to walk In
the narrow way that leads to honor
and responsibility in this world. as
well as to everlasting bliss In the great
hereafter. He does not believe that they
should lie permitted to give five, ter
or twenty years to evil practices, with
the hope that they may reform when
they get older. as it Is much safer to
prevent them from straying away
from the church while they are young
than to reclaim them afterwards.
The children he regards as the
saints of the earth. and the right way
is to keep them pure while they are
pure. There Is no occasion TO SOW
wild oats, as evil practices are gener
ally styled, and those who do 50 will
feel the injury through life. Parents
should take heed II they wish tc
avoid trouble. They should get righ
themselves and see that their children
are kept right.

An enterprising German had tried in

Luck WAS always against him, and at last,
to crown his misfortunes, he fell i'll. But
on what the doctor declared to be his death

He sent for a lawyer and dictated u will, in
which he bequeathed vast sums of money to
his wife, his family and various charitable

The lawyer, notorious talker, spread
the tidings, and great was the chagrin of
numerous acquaintance to think how they
had neglected to pay court to the dying
millionaire.
But our strategist wasn't so i'll as the
doctor had supposed, and presently he re-
covered. Then it was that fortune hunters
begged him to invest their money, urged

Cast thy burden on the Lord, he
will sustain thee, was the text Of Rev.
e. L. Hubbard. on Sunday morning.
In his predatory remarks he said
many persons do not half believe the
Bible, as It Ia written take no heed

themselves nearly to death about that
which they may never live to see.
He confessed he had sometimes wor.
ried himself, but he was extremely
foolish to do SO. II God cares for the
sparrow, will he not care for his little
child? He can take care of his chill

classes OF workers. The so called

also noticed intellectual laborers, and
attributed the illness Of Solomon Her
sey to over work, and remarked that
he needed rest rather than medicine.
\ He aleo referred to the views he en-

thought they lived like princes, and
he wished he were one OF them. He
had since wished at times when suf'

In both France and Germany, one.fourth
20 reduced to decimal is written as OPS;
in England 1t is written 0'25 always with
the period at the top Of the line), and in the
United States In this way, 025. France
and Germany always use the comma @,
England and the United States the period
L), the only difference being the manner in
which it is placed upon the line. Sir Isaac
Newton is given the credit Of originating
the present English method of using the
decimal point, his reasons being that by
placing it at the top of the line it could be
distinguished at glance from the full

mathematicians use the mark in the way
proposed by Newton, and the period as a
