against s2i .sG344G for 1893. For city

s2.595 .s97 less than for 1893. although
the number OF sheep for both years is
practically the same. The assessed
value Of hogs for 1894 amounts to &c.,

for the present year The valuation of
hogs. however, will be increased, as the

Beneath His Dignity.

The churchwardens of an English
village had placed an organ in their
little church, and in the delight of
their hearts they told the archdeacon
what they had done at his next visi-
tation He fell in with their enthusi-
asm and advised them to have a
grand opening at which DR. c., a well
known musician, should be present.
The advice was eagerly taken. Pla-
cards were posted, and the service
was advertised in the local papers
The all important day arrived and
with it Dr. c., who was at once
shown up into the singing loft, where
stood the instrument in a case bril-
liant with gilded pipes known to the
profession as dummies

quired the great man, who had al
ready been somewhat disconcerted at
the size of the organ.

Montana Wool In London.

Montana wool growers who are al
lured by the attractiveness of foreign
market for their product may be inter
ested in the following excerpt from let
ter 10 the Boston Commercial Bulletin,
from a correspondent who was attend
ing the London wool sales at the begin
ming OF the present month:
In today's catalogue there was new
feature. For the first time in many
years some L. S. 4. woods were offered
for sale hefe-12l bales in all. They
came from Montana and Wyoming, and
bore the mark "Fiske & Co. Philadel-
phia." Buyers reckoned them to yield 3s
per cent clean. and the average price
realized was cents, result scarcely
satisfactory 60 the sepders ] should
imagine
A gross price Of 8 cents per pound,
from which must be deducted trans
portation and commission charges, is not
a result to awaken enthusiasm in the
breast Of the fiockmaster. As wool is on
the free list in London. and all grades
are available for mixing purposes, here
is a chance for somebody to explain why
Montana wool is not selling better in
that market.-Benton River Press.

Held q Royal Hand.

A pleasant incident of the journey to
the north taken some years ago by Mr..
Gladstone, Lord Tennyson and large
number of friends is related by Mr..
Lucy. "After luncheon at Copen-
hagen" he writes, "It was suggested
that Tennyson should follow his GUS
tom of an afternoon and read aloud
from his poems The poet laureate
usually had seated next to him the
young lady of the party, and had
formed pleasing habit of holding her
hand with fatherly affection while he
declaimed farorite passages from his
works. In the arrangement Of guests
and visitors in the smoking room after
the Copenhagen lunch, the Princess of
Wales CHANGED to sit on Tennyson's
left, the place occupied by the other
young lady. Tennyson lead Maud
AS he proceeded, losing himself, as
usual, in the intensity of the poem, the
other guests were Mortified to observe
his left hand fall into its accustomed
position, and seize that Of his CON-
panion on his left. Her Royal High
ness smiled and Left her hand passive
in the poets vigorous grasp, where it
was held till the reading was finished. "

SUNDAY AFTERNOON PRAYER.

Perhaps you have sometimes asked your
selves, "What is the good of prayerT o
sufficient answer to that question Is, prayer
Is good practice" Prayer means business:
It Is the going over, in face OF God. or all
our difficulties, duties, and sins; 1t Is the re-
hearsing Of the means that We must take to
overcome them. 1t Is the setting In order OF
our faculties and passions, OF our thougnts
and tempers, in order to meet them. Use
PRAYER In this way, and it Will neverbe mere
form to you; nor will you ever be without
reason to give to people who ask you "Whats
the GOOD OF prayer?" The Salvation Army
call prayer drill and so it Is.
But will 90 further aud say that prayer Is
not only drill. It Is the battlefield ITSELF.
Look at the prayers Of the Lord Jesus.
Where were the real battles Of His human
life fought out? In His prayers. There He
fought and there He won His victories; ana
that was why the times, which In otner mems
lives are fullest Of struggle, the times when
He faced His material enemies, where to
His full only of peace and calm fortitude.
He came out from God before men as one
who had already conquered. .,
In our own time there was man VINO nao
learned this secret Of Christ-General Cor.
don. He fought and won oil his greatest
battles, he tells US, on his knees. II you read
his letters to his sisters you will find such
passages as these 81 had grand hali.nour
hewing Agag in pieces before the Lord" He
SAYS that over and over again; and he means
that on his knees he first of all overcame self
and sin and every other enemy, at the begin
ming of every day. That was why, Tor the
rest Of the day, Gordon was always so ready,
90 dutiful, so brave.
No man can be really brave who has not
thus learned to make prayer the real battle
field as we'll as we'll as the battle-ground OF
life.-[G. Adam Smith.

.Iapaneae at Hawaii.

The Japanese question is the all-absorbing
topic Of interest at Honolulu. Since the ar.

AS there are many thousands OF these la

It is surmised that If the Japanese insist on
