KEEpIYG ONES WORD. Sir William
Napier was one day taking Il long coun-
try walk near Freshford when he met
q little girl, about five years old, sob
bing overa broken bowl; shc had drop
ped and broken it in bringing it back
from the field to which she had taken
her fathers dinner in it, and she said
she would be beaten on her return
home for having broken it; then, with
Il sudden gleam of hope, she innocent
ly looked up into his face and said:
But We can mend it, can't yc?" Sir
William explained that lie could not
mend the bowl, but he could, by the
gift OF q sixpence, buy another. How
ever, on opening his purse it was emp
ty ofsilver, and he Lad to make amends
by promising to meet his little friend
in the same spot at the same hour,
next day, and to bring the sixpence
with him, bidding her, meanwhile, tell
her mother she had seen gentleman
who would bring her money for the
bowl next day. The child, entirely
trusting him, went her way comforted.
On his return home, he found an invi-
tation awaiting him to dine in Bath the
following evening, TO meet with some
one whom he specially wished to see.
He hesitated for some time, trying to
calculate the possibility Of giving the
meeting to his little friend of the
broken bowl and of sill being i'll time
for the dinner-party in Bath but find
ing this could not be, he wrote to de-
cline accepting the invitation on the
plea of Encouragement" saying TO

held out to draw big house at the
Broome Street Tabernacle Saturday
evening. The announcement had been
made =
ga lion, king of beasts, will illus
trate the sermon by the Rev. {. Il.
Tyndall.
i"Will there be lion?
''Secing is believing"
So the Tabernacle was filled, gale
lies and all. Boys nearly monopoliZcd
the galleries. Staid looking persons
filled the pcws below. And yet through
the preliminary part Of the programme
spirit of impatiencc, unrust, anxiety
seemed to pcrvade The large audience.
The reason was Obvious. Everybody
was looking for the lion.
Ii was almost pity that so much OF
really excellent programme. which
included an anthem and violin solo,
should have been for nothing. II was
the fault of the programme, not the
artists. The suspense was something
terrible.
Everybody looked for the lion.
Where was the lion TO come from
Did the Rev. Mr. Tyndnli keep lion
as q personal pet? Had one Of Capt.
Donald Burns three royal lions again
broke loose from their cage and had
MrTyndall surreptitiously captured the
wandering monarch?
Could it be possible that one of the
numerous lions Of the "Grcatcst Show
on Earth" had escaped and Mr.. Tvnda)l
had silently yanked him in the deep
shadow of night into the parochial al
cove and held him captive to make him
the star feature OF his evening sermon?
These were questions that inyolun-
tarily rose uppermost in the minds Ct
many. TO the great relief OF the inn
patient throng the last feature OH the
evening programme was finally reach
ed. The Rev Mr.. Tyndall rose gen
tly from his cushioned chair and ad-
vanccd to the front Of the platform and
began to speak.

and mustache, he has deep sonorous

Every eye, particularly OF the boys
in the gallery, was riveted on him as
he said these words. Every neck was
craned as he added, ''and here he is"
With the words, "And here he is
the reverend speaker jerked a red ta-
blecloth from an object by his side and
revealed miserable wooden imitation
of a lion, with sparse hair covering and
the semblancc of name that had to be
pointed out to be recognized, A jecr
went up from the gallery.
Then louder jccr was heard as Mr..
Tyndall pulled a string to give an i'm
itation Of q lions roar. 1t sounded
like q cross between q tin horn, en-
feebled by age, and cracked from

Shrinking of Wool

The Iowa Agricultural Bulletin No Il
reports a careful test Of wool stored by
different methods, in order to decide
whether wool lost IN weight, and how
much, if any. All the wool was exposed
TO free circulation of air, but in some of
the experiments it was sacked or boxed TO
exclude dust In the boxed wool, April
sheared feeces weighing " I-s pounds at
Shearing weighed 40 pounds on the lst OF
August, but at the end OF the year had
fallen back to its original weight. The
feeces on the shelf gained three-quarters
of pound in total OF " IL. or increas-
ed TO IS pounds. But June-sheared fleece
did not gain, but lost about sixpel cent,
OF its original weight.
1t has been common remark of farm
ers that wool was the one article they
grew which did not lose, but generally
gained in weight by keeping Those ex
periments show that there is something
in the farmers idea, Their experimenter
belives that heavy, oily wool loses most,
Is this in accordance with the experience
of farmers? Has not the condition of the
atmosphere much to do with the weight
Of wool. In the book OF Judges, Gideon
asked sign as to his mission TO deliver
Israel. He found it one morning by hav-
ing fleece wet with Dew while all around
was dry, and on another morning the con-
ditions were reversed and the fleece was
dry, while everything surrounding it was
moist.
