A Modern Convenience.

On the Fourth of March, 1889, an
.enterprising Yankee left Boston for
New York, carrying carpet bag of
most goodly dimensions. The man
was William F. Harnden, and his
carpet bag apparently contained only
a few packages of money and val
liable papers, consigned to New York
merchants. Tt had occurred to Harm
den that by saving business men
the expense of a special messenger for
the transfer of each individuals
packages, paying occupation might
be worked up for himself. The idea
was SO novel, however, that it took a
long time for that generation to
patronize the new way. Perhaps
Harnden thought the load was light,
but now we can see that it contained
not only the few packages on his
memorandum, but the whole vast ex-
press system of to-day, employing an
army of men, transporting millions of
money and thousands of tons of
various merchandise, and also doing
a banking business through their
money orders. What would our life
be now, had we to return to special
messenger or to the unpaid service of
some neighbor on his travels? Can
we not justly call the express system
a modern convenience? The develop
ment of Handlers idea is astounding
And yet we must recognize. that with
out the anterior building of railroads
such as the Burlington system, link
ing to each other aud the commercial
world hundreds of towns and cities
of the great and popular western
states The scheme would have re-
manned but little more comprehensive
than when first devised. It is not fol
us to advise what express company is
preferable, but when it comes to 9
railroad, you can never miss it by in
sisting that the ticket agent must sell
you ticket by the Burlington Route
to any of the larger cities, and towns
of the country, or write to w. j. @

SUMMER SCHOOL.

The summer school, with its able
corps of instructors, experienced su-
perintendents, and large and enthu-
siastic attendance, must be success.
We are glad to see many of the lead
ing teachers of this and adjoining
counties present, and this fact is
worthy of note, as it shows dispo-
sition for that further knowledge and
information, which is not only an es-
sential to advancement, but re-
quisite to the maintenance of the
higher standard of attainment.
The summer school has for pur-
pose, the practical exemplifcation of
advanced methods of instruction, and
affords to not only the teachers, but
to those who propose to take up this
important work, opportunity to study
and review the subjects pertaining to
the definite and the logical in school
work. It will be the endeavour of the
instructors to present their subjects
as completely as possible, and while
it will not be practicable to present
all topics in detail, yet as an aid to
future study and for the purpose of
affording all information possible, the
subjects will be carefully outlined,
The scope of the subjects and top
les has been broadened, in order that
the entire range of studies as en-
braced in the first, second and third
grade certificates may be introduced.
The work is progressing very satisfac-
torily, and as the scope of instruction
has been made more comprehensive,
all present viii be both interested and
benefited.
The American people take great
pride and interest in the important
work of education, and all that per-
tains to the elevation, formation and
advancement of higher intellectual
attainment is of concern and import
to the public as whole.

Reading the Bible.

But few even of those who are pro-
Tossing Christians really read the Bible:
OF how many can it be said "They
search the Scriptures daily to see
whether those things are sou? We are
searching almost anything else rather
than the Scriptures. Visit the homes,
go into stores, shops, and offices, and
through trains and steamers, and you
will find the proof of this statement.
Everywhere you will see men and
thing but the Word of God. 1t is rare
thing even to see Bible in any of these
places save the home; and there, too
often, it is lost in the pile of books and
papers that covers the tables and
shelves. The time was when the Bible
was about the only book that the many
Christians had. The newspaper was
luxury. The daily was unknown. A
half-dozen books were library for
neighborhood. The Bible was used in
the schOol-room as reader. The Word
was read and committed to memory in
the Sunday-school by the hundreds Of
verses. Now printed matter of all kinds
is as the leaves of the forest, Our
homes, rich and poor, in city, country
and town, are full of it. Some part of
the wide field must be neglected. The
tables and shelves Of our libraries give
proof of which part it is. A hurried
chapter while the breakfast is waiting,
or few verses after an evening of
other reading, when the eyes are
dim and the mind heavy, will hardly
pass for Scripture searching. Yet,
how many give the Bible no more
attention than this! For all of the good
that such readers get, they might about
as we'll read " Mother Goose's Mel
odies," The late Bishop Frazer makes
this serious charge: "The misfortune
is that though we have Bibles, we do not
use them. We may use them from Curl
osity, from habit, from show; but not
for reproof, for correction, for instruc-
ton in righteousness. 1t is suicidal
to allow other reading matter to crowd
this very thing. | believe in newspa-
pers, take delight in religious and sec
ular periodicals, and rejoice that books
are so plentiful; yet better by far throw
away all of these than neglect the only
book that is able to make us wise unto
salvation. All that plead for is, give
less attention 10 these and more to the
Word of God. No other book is OF such
importance" Depew says: " The open
Bible by the family freside was the
force which made America possible"
"There is but one question" Gladstone
says, g and that is the gospel. 1t can
and will correct anything needing cor
rection." Jesus says it is the source of
life. "Keep my commandments and
live. The words that | speak unto you,
they are spirit and they are life. "-Rev.
William II. Chase, in Northeastern
Christian Advocate.

A Kind Thought,

Long years ago, when l was girl at
boarding-school, a silver-haired old
lady was in the habit of coming into
our advanced French class now and
then. We girls all fell in love with
Madame Closson for her kind face and
gentle, placid manners, and used to
think it great privilege 10 sit by her,
and find the place for her, and help her
with her wraps after class was over.
One day, when it was my good fortune
to hold the place of honor beside her,
the last one to recite was Miss Parks.
She was day pupil, a plain, awkward
girl, and very dull. 1t was evident
from her first sentence that she did not
know the lesson; but mademoiselle pa
tiently heard her through, apparently
desiring to see if there was anything in
it she did know. When we had been
dismissed, and L took up Madame Clos
sons shawl to lay it over her shoulder,
L was thinking, What dreadfully
homely, stupid girl Miss Parks isl''
Could the dear old lady have read my
thoughts? I think she had soul too
innocent for that, but this remark she
made, "My dear, what a sweet
tempered disposition Miss Parks seems
to have?" The words went through
me like an electric shock. For the
first time l realized my selfshness, and
saw it contrasted with the goodness of
heart which could see only goodness in
others. My eyes filled with tears, and
with sudden impulse 1 kissed the
hand she gave me as she said goodbye.
Again and again, since that day, when
some unkind thought has come into my
mind, the memory Of dear Madame
Blossoms kind face and sweet words
have come to help me; and if l have
learned to see more of Gods image in
those l meet than did in my girlhood,
/ owe it in great measure to the dear
old lady's kind Observation-Disclosures.

brush wandered over the canvas, till
the blue had come into the eyes again,
and the gold to the hair, and the soft
ness of youth to the skin, till the face
of the made-up middle.aged woman
had gone, and in its stead remained the
beautiful one of twenty years before.
And smile broke over the stern face
as he watched lovingly the effect of
every touch his brush made. " loved
you" he repeated simply, "and have
lived alone for your sake" Then sud
denly he put down the brush and
turned quickly. She bent her head 80
that be should not see her face, but he
stopped till his lips for minute touched
the gray fur about her throat. There
was sound of wheels beneath; the
carriage had come for her.
"Tell me you loved me-" he said;
that you, too, meant your words"
She put her hands over her face, and
uneasily he saw the diamonds on her
fingers. The door opened, and with a
start they drew back.

hurriedly, "milord has returned sud

"Ahl no, no." she whispered again.

and rest it against the back seat. You

AS Susette vanished, Lady Harlek-
ston opened the letter from her hus.

closed. She looked at the address
and hurriedly put on her cloak.
"But now, Madeline, tell me-tel
me-" Carbouche said, eagerly.
She looked up; he saw her face, ant
started back with dismay.
"Ah! monsieur" she said politely
"this letter is for you. And now"
She went two steps towards the door
" But tell me-" he said with gasp

A hooking laugh came from her lips

He drew back, and stood looking a

A FISH exerts its great propulsive
power with its tail, not its fins. The
paddle wheel was made on the fin the
DRY of propulsion, and the screw pro-
peller had its origin in noting the ac-
ton of the tail. 1t is now shown that
the fins of the tail actually perform the
evolutons described by the propeller
blades, aud that the fish in it's sinuous
motion through the water depends on
the torsional action of the tail to give

RELIGIOUS MISCELLANY.
Her POEM.

In her woman's heart was a poem,
A grand and tender song,
A word of hope for the weary,
stern rebuke to the wrong:
1t often pleaded for utterance,
For voice to reach the world.
To be raised where all might heed IT,
banner Of love unfurledi
But she never found the moment
with days so full of care,
To breathe out the burning heartw ords
or her poem nesting there.
There were always household duties,
Duh rounds for every day,
And just before her, step by step,
Some task all unfinished ay.
Her children grew up and blessed her,
Ana honOred er sainted name,
She had guarded their childish footsteps
But had missed the road to fame;
From the many snares and pitfalls
Along their youthful way
Her watchful eye had saved them,
Not one had wandered astray.
The good angel wrote down her Network
A pure and shining page,
More sweet than dreams of poet,
More grand than seer or sage;
She had met each hOmely duty,
Striving not for earth's renown
Her life was a poem Of beauty,
Her reward, in heaven--a crown
