knowing. Who has noticed how in a forest you can tell from the trees which way is north? Who can tell when plants and shrubs seem to predict storm? Where is the man who can tell me in what month the arbutus forms it's buds or what is the meaning of the calling of the crows in their conventions? It is a pity that people do not open their eyes more and their mouths less, if we did we should study this world more. In the Massachusetts Agricultural College prize used to be offered, and for aught I know is still offered, for the largest classified collection of native wood taken in small sections from the various trees. 1 What Yankee school boy knows the names of the different kinds of trees In our woods or could tell the names of the many flowers which he every day tram ples under his feet? We need in every community 8 society, which shall have the name 1.-The society for the dissemi- nation of useful knowledge" and whose object shall be the opening of the eyes of the people to the wonders of the earth.
 Some of our greatest inventions are the following of some of these simple things in nature that no one ever noticed ] before. The spider can teach the wise man how to build a suspension bridge and the mole shows the world how to bore under the river for the railroad tunnel.
 There is also another lesson to be taken from the proverb. Some philoso- phers in these days advise the public Ispeaker to study phrenology. It is with
 the purpose in view to be able with a keen eye and a rare discernment to read the thoughts of men to whom he is
 talking. Any public speaker will tell
 you that an audience is an interesting
 study. There is the listless child, the
 thoughtful maiden, the self important
 young man, and the man and matron
 with the cares of life resting on them.
 And he who would bend their wills
 must know how his thought is working
 in their minds. We need to have their
 open eye especially for the help of ouI
 fellow beings. Half of the world goes through life with burdens on their hearts that we might lift did we know of them The world is dying for sympathy. Il
 needs comfort. It is afraid to ask fol help fearing repulse. On, my hearers
 open your eyes to the needs of humanity
 Scatter the sunshine of kindly deeds along your way. See your brother broken and bruised by the waysde and lak, h.>o So life will be rich and full to you ant
 you will live as we all ought to live tt be blessing in others lives.
