Runaway Rocks.

While surveying, in the year 1882,
the glacial boundary across the Mis-
sissippi Valley, I reached Cincinnati,
having traced the border line to the
river twenty-five or thirty miles above
the city. Upon crossing to the general
level of the hills of Kentucky, I found
various indubitable evidences that the
ice had extended across the trough of
the Ohio, and left it's marks several
miles south of the river over the north.
ern part of Boone County, and up to
an elevation of more than five hundred
feet above low-water mark. This was
along the watershed between the
Licking and Ohio Rivers, which was
continuous at this height to the cen.
tral part of Kentucky. Among other
evidences one of the most conspicuous
was bowlder of jasper conglomerate,
three feet in diameter, found near
Union, in Boone County, which was
subsequently, transported to Chicago
as part of the Ohio glacial exhibit at
the Columbian Exposition. Its right
to have place in an Ohio exhibit was
due partly to the fact that it was dis
covered by an Ohio man, but chiefly
from the fact that, at the snairs pace
at which glacier moves, this bowlder
must have been in the territory Of
Ohio for an enormous period of time,
long enough for even bowlder to be-
come naturalized. If, however, the
Canadians should claim it as o fugi-
tive from justice, they would ave
prior right, for the lodges from which
it was derived are near Thessalon, in
Ontario, north of Lake Huron. In

INSTRUCTIVE INCIDENT.

Say not that your powers are feeble, and
your opportunities small. A young woman
who was an operative In factory. became a
subject Of divine grace and united with the
Christian church. From early morn till
night, she was through the week engaged in
labor. She had never enjoyed the advan-
tage of school, excepting barely enough to
have learned to read and write. But her
heart kindled with the fire OF sacred love,
intensely desired to promote the Redeemer's
kingdom. To this end, she set herself dili-
gently to the cultivation Of her mind She
devoted half an hour every evening to
study, and used all other available means TO
prepare herself for usefulness. She used
often to place leaf of the Bible upon her
loom, and to commit and digest Its contents
while her hands wrought Within a single
year. she became one Of the best teachers in
the Sabbath school, and was instrumental in
bringing four OF her pupils to saving knowE

RELIGIOUS READING.
SPEAK TO THAT YOUNG MAN.

He Is in no special danger. At most points
he Is strongly fortified against the seductive
influences that ruin so many of our young
men. He abhors their evil courses he shans
their pestiferous society; he keeps far remote
from the places where they congregate. How
much OF moral principle Is incorporated with
the other elements his safeguard, is known
only to the Searcher OF hearts; but 1t Is very
obvious that peculiar selfshness Is In part
at least his protection. The plan of life which
he has marked out for himself forbids the
qualification of expensive appetites. he can
not afford to be immoral.
The simple truth is, that he is determined
to be rich. How this passion became excited
we need not now inquire. 1t is far more i'm
portant that it should be restrained and held
within proper limits. He hardly knows why
he wishes to accumulate, unless 1t Is that he
may be able to say II am rich."
If now asked to name the amount that
would satisfy him, he would probably say, "a
within given number Of years, and towards
this one point he Is now bending oil his enc
gies. For this he thinks, contr1ves, eats,
drinks, sleeps. wakes, reads, writes, walks,
rides, converses and is silent. For this he en-
ters into company or avoids society, for this
he marries or lives single; for this he boards
or keeps house; forthis he selects his place
OF worship or has none. In everything he
has respect to the increase of his gains.
Domestic relations, friendship, literature,
science, religion, must all subserre his one
object. He will even give away, If you can
convince him that it will promote his tempo
raj interest.
Speak to him. His mind Is set so strongly
in one direction, and has already dug for it
self so deep a channel, that it NAV be diff
cult either to check or divert the current.
Buthe has not become hardened in avaricious
habits. He has yet some susceptibility OF
impression from the lessons of wisdom and
experience. Give him sketch of your own
history. Tell him what an old citizen said a
few days since. II have been," said he,
"well acquainted with business men in this
city for sixty years, and I have found out
that out Of every hundred merchants, ninety
seven have failed once, and seventy-fye
second time" Reason with him. Show him
the uncertainty of riches. and how made
quate they are to satisfy the mind. Above
all, show him how fearfully the effort to ac-
quire them interferes with duty to God and
man. and how the possession Of them in
creases the difficulty Of the souls salvation.
Quote to him the language Of the Son OF
God in Matt. 6: 24; and Mark 10: 25-also
the language of the Apostle Paul in Tim.

The British and the Chicago Fair.

The report of the British Royal Commls-
sion on the Worlds Fair has been published.
It's tone is decidedly favorable to the Exht'
bition. While acknowledging that 1t were
easy to criticlse, 1t speaks OF it as undeniaoly
ga courageous inception, spl4ndld In exscu-
ton and successful IN It's results 1t says
that Europe did not appreciate Hs proper
value, owing. perhaps to the incomplete
condition OF things at the outset, thus giving
a false impression, which prevailed through
out the Exposition. II calls attention to the
fact that ali information upon American al-
fairs comes to Europe from tae Eastern
States, which were never kindly disposed
toward Chicago and tho Fair" Whereas "
previous exhibitions the exhibits themselves
have been almost the sole attraction. the
great feature In the Chicago Fair WAS tho
unique arrangement OF the frame OF the pic
ture. The general effect. splendor OF the
buildings and the beauty OF the situation
were not less notable than tho importance OF
the exhibits as evidencins industrial and
scientific progress. With regard TO the part
taken by Gr.at Britain the report says that
while she had less to gain than any rival, yet
if she had not taken prominent part 1t
would have been very disastrous to hef

A LIFE MEMBER OF HEAVEN.

The following circumstance took place at .
missionary meeting at Pittsburgh, at which
the beloved missionary Dean, and ko-a-Bak,
the converted Chinese. his travelling compan-
lon, were present. At this meeting, 1t was
suggested by the Rev. MIR. Miles, agent OF the
Pennsylvania Baptist State Convention, that
Mr. Dean and the Chinese should be made
life members of that body. When the pledges
had been given for the amount necessary
and the fact had been communicated to Ko-
a-Bak, he arose, and with much feeling re-
marked that he had everywhere been
treated with great kindness In his
travels since he came to this country,
he did not know why these friends
should give money to make him life member
of their society-''but." said he.as soon as his
strong emotion would allow him to give ut
terance to the thought-"but, Jesus Christ
paid much greater price than that to make
me life member Of heaven" Beautiful
thought, and beautiful expression! May
God grant that soon through his blessing up
on the labors of our beloved missionaries,
hundreds, and thousands, and millions Of
the interesting natives Of the "land OF Sinim,"
may be made, by the application of the pre-
cious blood of atonement, life members Of
heaven !-[Washington Cor. Of the Christian

A French physician has devised

strips of steel put in vibration by a
small electro-motor, which makes 600

is not unpleasant, produces drowsi-

its influence and awakes free from

perish before they have had time to

Bees in the Breach.

The part played by bees on certain
occasion was, if the Able della Rocca
is to be believed, equally effective.
"Amurath, the Turkish Emperor, u
says our authority, "during one Of his
sieges, had made breach in the wal,
and was about to storm the town,
when he found that about the breach
the inhabitants had placed numerous
hives of bees. The Janissaries, brave
as they were, dared not face the in.
sects, and refused to advance"
There is also story, which we caa.
not bring ourselves to believe, of e
privateer's crew of forty to fifty men
capturing a Turkish galley with 500
seaman and soldiers on board by
means of q swarm Of bees judiciously
thrown among the unspeakable ones.
However this may be, there are
enough authentic instances of strange

deciding what is fair and what unfeir

Burning naphtha, boiling lead, birds,
carcasses of men and horses, Chinese
stinkpots, besides the implements al
ready mentioned, have all been used
for offensive or defensive purposes in
actual warfare. And what with our
modern systems of dazzling by electric
light, submarine attacks, flying ma.
chimes, and elaborate lethal apparatus,
it seems not improbable that we are
on the eve of resorting to some of the
more fanciful methods of Eastern wsr-
fare, which, fifty or hundred years
ago, would most distinctly have been
regarded as SO many attempts to hit

Paris set the fashion for the world, particu-
larly in woman's attire; but the downfall Of
the Empire, and with it the abolition Of the
the Court, destroyed those standards, or per-
haps should say dried up the fountains
from which fashion emanated.
At the beginning OF the century, Sidney
Smith asked, "Who reads an American
book?" Twenty-Five years ago the idea Of an
American fashion that would be regarded
with favor In England and on the Cont nent
would have been preposterous. Yet, to day,
1t is pleasant to note not only that Ameri-
can books are read all the world over, but
that we are showing our independence and
our qualities for leadership In the matter Of
dress, The foreign publications now before
US speak Of London fashions" and "New
York fashions" with as much respect
aud approval as they do Of "Paris fashions"
This Is as It should be, and it speaks
well for the emancipation Of women from
customs and costumes that were not always
pleasant or becoming, and indicates ten
dency to nstonaism in dress as well as
to what is still better, and that Is tasteful
individuality.
From week to week but little can be noted In
the way Of change. The new fashions are
now entirely familiar, and as women are pre-
pairing for the summer outing for themselves
and their families, lighter and more 81 vice
able costumes are demanded Still, there
are certain standards Of attire that are either
fixed, or are becoming fixed. There Is the
tailor-made gown, always becoming and CON-
Portable. Itis now more popular than ever for
street wear and travel, and even for the
church. As dress has its evolution like
everything else in which humanity pro-
crosses, the tailor-made gown is becoming
more tasteful and simple. The short, natty
cutaway coat is still popular, and without
doubt will continue to be 80. The widest
latitude Is given as to length and fullness IN
the back Of the skirt, and indeed, closer ap-
Proclamation to mems three-button coats,
always, OF course, with due consideration to
the figure Of the wearer.
For warm weather the light tan covert
suidng is becoming more popular for tailor
made suits that are to be worn outdoors
through the summer and on until the cold
weather sets In again. Those anxious to be
up with the fashions must bear in mind that
at least two vests 90 with such suits. One
vest may be Of pale blue. and another Of
brown or dark red with small stars or dots
In black or white It should be borne in
mind that the colors Of such suits are not
arbitrary, but the taste Of the wearer can be
consulted with the greatest freedom. Brown
shades Of sacking or serge are found to be
very becoming with vest Of pretty pink ecru

ptque. We have seen some pretty suits with
blush tints, but the Oxford gray, which, you
know, is very dark, is thought to be more
stylish, and it is said to be more effective,
and it is certainly very attractive when worn
with light or pale blue vest. These vests
are mostly single-breasted, and button close
up to the throat; but, as the warm weather
comes on. they will be worn low. with notch
cd rerers, collar, and a linen chemisette, with
standing collar and small black cravat.
What are called "dressmakers' tailor-made
gowns" differ from those that ore strictly
