AFRAID or 4 Mousse.

From an article On 'wild Beasts in Captiy-
ity,' hy Cleveland MufIctt, in McClurr's
Magazine.
one day Philadelphia, wishing to
test the affection popularity supposed
to exist between a lion and a mouse,
put a mouse in the cage of a full
grown Nubian lion. The lion saw
the mouse before he was fairly
through the bars, and was after him
instantly. Away went the little
fellow, scurrying across the floor and
squeaking in fright. When he had
gone about ten feet the lion sprang,
lighting a little in front of him. The
mouse turned, and the lion sprang
again. This was repeated several
times, the mouse travcrsing a shorter
distance after each spring of the
lion. 1t was demonstrated that a
lion is too quick for "A mouse, al least
in a large cage. Finally the mouse
stood still, %squcaling and trembling.
The lion stood over, studying him
with interest. Presently he shot out
his big paw and brought it down
directly on the mouse, but so gently
that the mouse was not injured in
he least, though held fast between
the claws. Then the lion played
with him in the most extraordinary
way, now lifting his paw and letting
the mou run a few inches, and then
stopping him again as before, Sud
denly the mouse changed his tactics,
and, instead of running when the
lion lifted his paw, sprang into the
air straight at the LIONS head. The
lion, terrified, gave "A great leap
back, striking the bars with all his
weight, and shaking the whole floor.
Then he opened his great jaws and
roared and roared again, while the
little mouse, still squealing, made
ili0 tpNdp'' VI blS WV tll' lpii wac
the most frightened.
1t is a fact we'll known in all
menageries, that a mouse will frigh-
ten an elephant more than will a
locomotive. Let one appear in an
elephants stall, and the elephant,
his mountain of flesh q~uivering, his
trunk lashing the air, will trumpet in
abject terror; and he will not recover
for hours a~fterward. The trainers
say that what the elephant fears is,
that the NOUS will run up his trunk
There is a tradition that a mouse
really did this in one instance while
an elephant was sleeping, and caused
the elephant such intense pain that
he had to be killed.

The Disciples have one state
missionary society and one state
Sunday school organization, and
twenty district organizations. Each
of these organizations has its mis-
sionary board, and all these Co
operate. These agencies have
averaged thirty evangeiists in the
mission field, PER anmum, for ten
years. They have organized nearly
four hundred churches, had 3l,l7O
conversions and other additions, and
have raised 1893, 900 lor church
building in mission fields in those
ten years. There were more than
thirty eight cvamgclists in the field,
last year, for the whole time. These
organized forty-siX new churches
had i,idj conversions. and other
additions, and raised S50,ll3 for
church building. For this work
S2O,375 was raised and expended
by the brotherhood of the state.
The total amount raised by the
boards and local churches for re-
ligious, educational and benevolent
work, during the past year was,
sG2S, 1872.

UNTRUE, or COURSE.

From the Lexington Press.
A good story, which is of course,
untrue, is told on Judge Durham.
The incident is said to have happened
while he was controller of the cur
rency. One Sunday, SO the story
goes, the Judge, who is a devout
man, went to church in Washington.
The audience was an inspiring one,
and the sermon a good one. When
the minister had quit speaking he
said:
"Now let us return thanks to the
great controller of the univsrse."
No sooner had the words been
uttered than the Judge, who is a
gentleman of the old school, arose
and publicly thanked the preacher
for the distinguished honor he had
paid him.

In that year the meeting was held at

condition of the membership during
the war, there were no state meetings

TRAINING THE SENSES.

John Burroughs "Field-Notes,' in the
Century.
The eye always sees what it wants
to see, and the ear hears what it
wants to hear. If | am intent upon
BIRDS nests in my walk, | find BIRDS
nests everywhere. Some people see
four-leaved clovers wherever they
look in the grass. A friend of mine
picks up Indian relics all about the
fields; he has Indian relics in his
eye. l have seen him turn out of
the path at right angles, as a dog
will when he scents something, and
walk straight away several rods, and
pick up an Indian pounding stone.
He saw it out of the corner of his
eye. / find that without conscious
effort l see and hear birds with like
ease. Eye and ear are always on
the alert.

NO PLACE LIKE MISSOURI

From Colmnn's Rural world.
The California climate and atmos-
phere is all right, but in proportion
to the value of land and its products
costs too much. Many men from the
country east of the Rocky Mountains
have sold out clock, stock and bar

only to be swindled into buying land
at one hundred dollars an acre Chat

climate and atmosphere ut four hum
dred dollars an acre that was worth
all it cost, providing there was enough
in the land and the crops to live off
of. But to pay $500 an acre for land
below and atmosphere above and
until the orange orchard grew and
then find the market overstocked
with oranges, and after paying trans
portation, two, three OF four thous-
and miles, discover that the fruit
would not pay expenses of shipping,
much less those of growing and fol-
the time lost and money expended in
waiting, was more discouraging thar
the hardy, thrifty farmers of the
states could stand. They are coming
home.
To say there is no place like HON,
doesn't begin to tell the story. There
is no place like a Missouri home il
the owner is up to the times, thrifty
fure-handed, hard working and en-
terprising.
Judge Roach Is a man of e and
experience; has been a business man
and a banker nearly all his life; is a
man of means, well read, and OF
more than ordinary intelligence. His
coming back tells a story that Others
less comfortably circumstanced will
do, well to heed, We doubt not he
will now think that Missouri is good
enough for him and had others who,
twenty and thirty years ago, passed
through it with a sheer, known as

filled and overcrowded. In the mean
time. the hallelujah chorus sung in
going is much more ardently sung by
the Thongs who have been able tc

with. and who will in future have
much higher regard for that magni-
ticent state which is bounded on tn,

The largest publishing house of
the brotherhood, the Christian Pub
fishing Company, is located at st.
Louis, Mo-, where the Christian
Erdngelist, the NeD Christian Quar-
terry and a full line of Sunday school
papers are published.
No state in the union has furnished
a larger number of distinguished men
devoted to the work of this reforma-
ton than has Missouri. Among those
who have finished their work and
passed to their reward are such
honored men as: Joel II. H;.ien, T.
NJ. Allep, Hiram Bledsoe, T. n.
Gaines, Allen Wright, Moses T.. Lard,
Henry II. Haley, j. W. Mountjoy,
Francis h, Palmer, w. III, Hopson,
and G. w. Longan. In its lists of
preachers to-day are also many of
national reputation.
1t will be een from the foregoing
figures that the numerical increase of
the Disciples of Christ, in Missouri, is
phenomenal. The religious BODY that
enrolls 1873 900 communicates, has a
large responsibility in moulding the
moral and religious life of our great
commonwealth. And yet one half of
these were added within the last
eight years! This fact indicates the
possibility of a wonderful increase
in the future. Perhaps the greatest
need at present, is larger and better
facilities for ministerial training
within the limits of the state, and il
is hoped that this need may be met al
no very distant day, in the estab-
lishment of theological chairs al
Columbia where our students may
avail themselves of the benefits oil
> the best training offered by our State
University. The Disciples of Christ
are glad to be co-workers with theil
