A scientific journal tells this story
of q frogs cunning: A brood of chick.
ems was fed with meal in saucers, and
when the dough soured a little it at.
tracted large number of flies. An
observaut toad had evidently noticed
this, and every day toward evening
he would make his appearance in the
yard, hop to u saucer, climb In and
roll over and over until he was GOV.
cred with meal. having done which
he would await developments. The
flies enticed by the smell, SOON swarm
I'd around the scheming batrachian,
and, whenever one passed within two
inches or so of his nose, his tongue
darted out and the fly disappeared.
The plan worked 80 well that the toad
made it a regular business.

He who is doing right is on the
highest moral and spiritual level. He
who sees better within his reach, and
deliberately refuses 1t, is not doing
right at all. He Ia simply immoral
and irreligious. I have spent an hour
In amusing my self. Did I do wrong
Could T have done better? For me to
say that the amusement was not
wrong, and yet that 1 might have
done better, Is absurd. We imagine
that in 80 saying we are setting high
and unworldly standard of Christian
attainment. On the contrary, we are
admitting the fatal idea of we'll
enough in the face of possible better,
an idea which is capable of sinking
a man in the very bottomless pit Of
moral degradation.-Flom "rhe Love

Early education is great advance to

Early education is great advance to
any man.
He ought to do better, all of his life,
because of having good start in his
childhood. But early education is not
everything to y man. He may be
started right, and yet take wrong
course in spite of his good start. And
he may be started wrong, and yet after
ward thrn into better way. A man
who does we'll in spite Of his early lack
deserves more credit than one who
does we'll in the line of his childhood's
training and both of these do far bet.
ter than one who goes wrong after be-
ing well started. If man had good
start in life, let him see to it that he
followsit up; and if he had bad start,
let him see 10 it that it was only start.
A good beginning is no ground for
Over-eonfidence, and bad one is no
cause for despair.-S. S. Times.

A drawback upon the profit of camp
meetings is the difficulty of securing
the retirement needed for devotional
reading and prayer. The difficulty
would be diminished if all the occu-
pants of tent would read and pray at
the same hour. Then, conversation
being suspended, worships would be
without the distraction Of voices. He
is a very thoughtless person who talks
while another is upon his knees; but
there are such thoughtless persons.-

Hunters Sport.

To call it sport does not change the
fact that animals hunted to death are
just as surely killed as if knocked on
the head by the butcher. If the
hunter would stop and think of the
pain he is inflicting, his sympathy
would disarm his sport. This actually
happened durings recent deer hunt
in Tennessee. After the sportsmen
had chased the deer several miles, snd
the hounds were close at its heels, the
animal turned, and running up to one
of the hunters, tucked its heud under
his arm for protection. No one had a
heart to kill the animal, and the hunt
was abandoned.

Timely Repartee.

A French soldier, during the siege Of
Paris, was found guilty o. stealing,
and condemned to be shot. What he
