HCnagry Pike.

One Of my sons, aged Is, went with
three other boys to bathe in Inglemere
pond, near the Ascot race course. Ho
walked into tho water to about the
depth Of four feet, when he spread out
his hands to attempt to swim.
At that instant large fish came up
and took his whole hand into its mouth,
but finding itself unable to swallow it
relinquished its hold, and the boy, turn
ing round, prepared for hasty retreat.
His companions. who saw the fish,
scrambled out Of the pond as fast as
possible.
My son had scarcely turned around
before the fish came up behind him, and
seizing his other hand crosswise infict-
ed some very deep wounds on the back
of it. The boy raised his free hand,
which was still bleeding, and struck the
great fish q hard blow on the head,
when it disappeared. The other boys as
sisted my son to dress, bound up his
hand with their handkerchiefs and
brought him home.
We took him to the surgeon, who
dressed seven wounds in one hand, and
so great was the pain the next day that
the lad tainted twice. The little finger
was bitten through the nail, and it was
more than six weeks before it was we'll.
The nail came off, and the scar remains
to this lay. y.-Fishing.

SOME PEOPLES RELIGION.
Marion Crawford Writes a Pointed Little
Lecture on Intolerance.

Lecture on Intolerance.
There are very good and devout men
and women who take the world-pres-
ent and to come-quite literally, as a
mere fulfillment Of their own limita.
tions; who look upon what they know
as being all that need be known, and
upon what they believe of God and heav-
en- as the mechanical consequence Of
what they know, rather than as the
cause and goal, respectively, Of exist
tence and action; to whom the letter of
the law is the arbitrary expression of a
despotic power, which somehow must
be looked upon as merciful; who answer
all questions concerning Gods logic
with the tremendous assertion of God s
will; whose God is a magnified man,
and whose devil is malignant animal,
second only to God in understanding,
while extreme from God in disposition.
There are good men and women who
to use a natural but not fippant
simile-take it for granted that the soul
is cast into the troubled waters of life
without the power to swim or even the
possibility of learning to float, depend
ent upon the bare chance that some one
may throw it the life buoy of ritual re-
ligion as its only conceivable means of
salvation. And the opponents Of each
particular form of faith invariably take
just such good men and women, with
all their limitations, as the only true
exponents of that especial creed, which
they then proceed to tear in pieces with
all the ease such an undue advantage
of false premise gives them. None of
them has thought of intellectual mer-
cy as being perhaps an integral part of
Christian charity. Faith they have in
abundance, and hope also not little;
but charity, though it be for men g
earthly ills, and theoretically, if not al
ways practically, for mems spiritual
shortcomings, is rigidly forbidden for
the errors of mems minds. Why? No
thinking man can help asking the little
question which grows great in the un-
answering silence that follows it.-Mar-
ion Crawford in Century.

Nature Pursues q Liar.

''The forces of the universe are in
league against lie," says Emerson,
and what his terse, penetrating pen
would find to say where the lying in
wolves perhaps mortal danger to human
beings we will not presume to say, but
will illustrate our meaning as follows:
In December, 1887, a child that had
died in Connecticut. Of diphtheria was
brought to Pittsfeld, Mass, for burial.
The parents came with the body to a
house in Pittsfield, and apublic funeral
was held. Within q week and while
the parents of the child still remained
as visitors at the house a child who
lived in the house was taken ill with
diphtheria and died. Then came hu-
initiating confession from the Connect
icut parents They said that the symp-
toms of the second child were just like
those Of their own and finally acknowl-
edged that arrangements had been made
with the physician in attendance upon
the case to write certificate of death
by bronchitis, instead Of diphtheria.
Other cases followed in the same house.

VALUABLE WOODS.

Many Of the Finest Kinds In Existence
Plentiful. but Almost Unknown.
Many of the finest woods in existence
are yet unknown or only slightly
known to the manufacturers of wood
in the civilized world. The woods Of
Central and South America are perhaps
the most remarkable as well as the best
known. In the yet untouched forests of
this continent are many woods far finer
than any of those now in use. These
woods range from pure white to jet
black in color, and many of them are
most beautifully marked and veined.
Some Of them are so hard that they
turn the edges of axes chisels and other
tools, while the band saw cuts them
only slowly.
In the Columbian exposition there
were many displays of little known
woods, and the finest Of them were those
from Argentine Republic, Brazil and
other South American countries. Some
of these southern woods yielded to the
teeth Of the band saw not the ordinary
sawdust, but fine powder, fine as the
finest flour, so hSrd were the woods.
Some of them burned but slowly 9th
ers possess qualities that keep them free
from insects Some of them seem to be
practically indestructible by air and
water.
All along the eastern slopes of the
Andes, up to the snow line on those
great elevations, throughout all the
great river valleys and in some of the
wide areas of level country in South
America are great forests of fine woods
that are specially fit for the finest cabi-
net and furniture work, and also for
shipbuilding, carpentry and other in
dustrial arts in which wood is the raw
material. These great forests are now
an unknown quantity in the commercial
world, but they will come rapidly into
the knowledge of men and into indus
trial use when once the railroad has
reached them.
Before many years, it is safe to pre-
dict the South American and Central
American republics will be threaded by
railroads, and then those wonderful
woods will be drawn upon to supply the
demand for new and fine woods in all
civilized countries. Lumber World.

FoRolNe A CHINESE RIVER.
Pits Dug In the Streams Bed by Guides
20 Trap the unwarY.


Traversing the country from south.
west to northeast and in pouring rain,
we visited the villages of Si-kou-ying,
Hao-kwei-ying and Sang -yein. Here the
women, dressed in their best clothes,
stood watching us on the doorsteps,
which would have been quite pretty
sight, with their multicolor jupons and
trousers, had the effect not been partly
spoiled by the horrible deformity of
their feet squeezed into microscopic
shoes possess a pair of these shoes as
worn by q mandarin's wife, and the
length of them is only inches. Toward
noon we reached Ya-lo-wan, on the
banks of the Hung-ho river, a miserable
village on a minuscule hill of yellow
earth The river had to be waded.
A Chinaman-a beggar, thought
volunteered to take animals and men
safely across for sum Of money, for he
said there were large holes in the river
bed, in which our animals would have
lost their footing had we crossed by
ourselves. I would not employ him, as
I hate to be imposed upon by humbugs,
and knowing the little way which these
gentlemen have of digging large holes
on purpose in the river bed while dry in
summer, so as to extort money from
timid travellers, I proceeded to "sell"
him.
guided my mules not right across
the wa5or, for the holes are generally
dug where most unaware people are
likely to cross, but few yards farther
up, therefore landing every one safe
on the other side, with the exception of
one donkey, who, in strict similarity
with all the evil spirits of China, insist
ed on going on his own account in a
straight line in front of his nose, with
the result that when he reached the
middle of the stream he fell into one
of the holes, and with the weight of the
load he was carrying disappeared. Only
the point of his ears could be seen wag-
ging out of the water. The holeman, if
l may call him so, who had eagerly
been watching for this, ran in the wa
ter to his rescue and saved his life, for
which act duly rewarded him. Fort

One Of the biggest mistakes about
food which people make is to forget
that the true value of food to anybody
is the measure of its digestibility. Half
a pound of cheese is vastly more nour-
ishing, as regards its mere composition,
than half pound Of beef, but while the
beef will be easily digested and thus be
of vast service to US the cheese is put
out of court altogether for ordinary
folks by reason of its indigestibility.
We should bear this rule in mind when
we hear people comparing one food with
another in respect to their chemical
