They had not seen one another for
twenty-four years, and then they had

five days with great loss of life. Now
they met as believers in Christ ;
the Gospel had turned their enmity
into love. They asked forgiveness
from each other for former injuries,
knelt together in prayer, and then
united in praise to God. Africaner
was now known as "the peace-maker."
He heard of two parties of Hottentots
who were ready for battle. He hasten

put away their spears. and to live in
peace. "What," said he, "have now

the cattle I have taken, but shame and

Africaner, when dying, exhorsted his

not less duty to pupils. Everybody

often more important than the things

sonal courtesy you will let me men

class waiting is to be rude, and to
seem to be unjust. For sense of
speculation arises when master is

chance of his being one minute later,

Homesick Horses.-"A remarkable
story of homesick horses has recently
been published, which we have taken
pains to confirm by inquiry at the
place where it occurred, at Wilton, n.
H. Horse No. !, being accidently
disengaged from harness or halter,
took the liberty to dash off on visit
to his old home at Wilton, IA miles
away, travelling 40 fast that his owner,
although following at once with a
swift team, was an hour behind. The
horse. although absent for three years,
trotted directly into his old stall, and
affectionately responded to the greet
ings O. the family. Not long after,
horse No. arrived at the same place

looked in at the window. the build.
ing having been formerly used as
stable. Discovering new stable. lie
entered and made himself at home, re-
fusing to be driven or led away by the
work man In charge. When the pro-
prietor returned, he recognized the
animal az one he had owned ten years
before, and who had now come from
Fitchburg, Mass, more than 70
miles distant. His old mate was still
there, and their meeting Is described as
q joyful one. These incidents show
that horses have memory, affection,
will, capacity to plan and to execute
and, perhaps, that some stables are
more hospitable than others!"

If we bear in mind the whole me-
chanism of digestion, it will readily
be seen that In cases of weakness or
want Of tone on the part Of the mus
cles of the stomach, when every part
of the food cannot be properly pre-
sented to the action of the digestive
juices, the introduction into the stom-
ach of q moderate amount of water
may he of no slight benefit. The mass
of food will become more pliable and
so more easily operated upon by the
weakened muscles.
Exercise for Horses.-Exercise is as
important for the horse az for the
human being. The farm horse, of
course, gets all that Is necessary, as
does the draught horse of any kind j:
but the stable fed horse should have
two hours exercise given to him
every day if he is to be well. TO pro-
mote health is must be moderate, at
least at the beginning and ending.

be thrown off the stomach, and the
child will SOON be sleeping soundly.

The UnsOciable.

We envy neither the man nor the
woman who cannot:speak 10 fellow
creature out Of their own circle or to
anybody without the formality of an
introduction. There il no computing
the amount of profit, as we'll as pleas
ure such persons lose by hedging
themselves in with this stupid fence
of fastidiousness. We have always
found more of this feeling among per-
soms who were more touchy on their
social position than among those self
respecting persons who thought moth
ing aboutit. A great deal of intelli-
gence Is floating around the world
without being labeled and those men
and women who have the good sense
to recognise this fact and act upon 1t,
not only are educating themselves,
but comforting that pleasure which we
are all bound by the common ties of
humanity to exchange with one
another. 1t seems to us that it is only
the snob and pretender who take
different view of this question.

Caught In n Fog.

At one of the services at the Union
Mission Hall, Toronto, the following
story was related, which came with
power and sweetness to my own heart
and contains though that, If real
lied, would enable every Christian to
rest in peace, even when surrounded
by darkness or perplexity, and unable
to clearly understand G DDS dealings
with them.
The speaker said
"Some years ago, when Captain
Dutton was commanded of the 8. s.
'Sarmatian,' we had entered the Saint
Lawrence on our homeward voyage,
when suddenly a heavy fog arose,
which completely bid the shore and
all objects from view the ship which
was going at full speed, continued on
her course without relaxing in the
least; the passengers became rather
frightened and considered 1t extremely
reckless on the part of the captain.
Finally one of them went and REM
onstrated with the first mate, telling
him of the fears of the passengers.
He listened, and then replied with q
smile, Oh don't allow them to be
frightened they need not be the least
bit uneasy; the fog only extends a
certain height, AMI the captain is up
above the fog, and it is be that is run
ing the vessel When this was re-
ported to the passengers, the change
on their countenances, from fear and
uneasiness to quiet satisfaction, was
wonderful. Oh, what cheer and :com-
fort it would bring to our hearts on
our voyage of life, #, when surrounded
by the mists Of doubt or sorrow. and
unable to see our way, We could al
ways remember that our Captain 'is
up above the fog that He is guiding
our way, and will bring US at last, If
we only wait and trust Hin, in safety
to the 'haven where we would be."-

Umbrellas.

Jonas Hanway, the founder Of 8 hos
pital in London, has the credit OF be-
ing the first man in London who had
the courage to carry habitually an um.
barella. Until that time they had
been carried only by women. He died
in 1855, and it is said that he carried
an umbrella (of silky for thirty years.
So the period of the introduction OF
this article into use, for men as we'll
as women, may be said to date from
1856. There is according to DR.. Nor
rison, the great missionary to China,
mention made Of umbrellas and par
asols in books printed in China, more
than fifteen hundred years ago.
/ The earliest Ninevite and Egyptian
sculptures haYe frequent representa-
tions of the umbrella, though only
in connection with royalty. In China
men of wealth and high position, not
of the royal blood were permitted to
use it, and the common people made
themselves broad hats to protect them
alike from sun and rain. In Greece
women of rank use an umbrella, aud
in Rome women and effeminate men
carried them. From Rome Its use ex-
tends to the countries Of southern
Europe and northern Africa. During
the Middle Ages it was an emblem Of
rank in the church, and was little
used except as such. All the cathe-
drals and large churches owned an
umbrella to be used by the chief dig
nitary in solemn professions.

Thoughtlessness OF Speech.

1t is not, however, the pen that
woman should fear 80 much and try
to control, as it is the tongue.
The greatest lesson that woman has
vet to learn is to think before she
speaks. In comparison with the
thoughtless tongue the pen in q wom-
ans hand is as harmless as dove.
All too prevalent in these days is the
spirit of cruel and thoughtless criti-
cism among women. Thoughtless-
ness of speech has done. more to in
jure woman than any single element
In her life. 1t has laid her open to the
charge of being unreliable-and some
times Justly 50. 1t has kept from her
that were hers by right !;
it has stood in the way of her pro-
gress it has placed her innumerable
times in false positions; it has judged
her as being cold when she. was in
reality affectionate; cruel when she
was gentle. 1t is the one inconsis-
tency in woman's nature that has
baffied many a one anxious to believe
i'm her,

He who would know where power
lies must look beyond as well as O.
mong the forces thas move him most.
A drop of nitric acid rests placidly as
water upon q plate Of pure gold; but
upon plate of pure silver 1t would be
as consuming fire. It would not do
for the gold to condemn the acid as
impotent and useless, merely because
it had no power over gold. Nor would
it do for the silver to exalt this partcu-
lar acid asa universally resistless force,
merely because silver succumbs, and
lis consumed by it. Many and various
means are needed for the influencing
of many sorts and conditions Of men.
In addressing ourselves to men, wos
men, or children, we must consent to
be Of varying degrees Of potency with
them. In estimating, as critics, the
workof others-rheir sopken and their
writtn words. ther methods and their
aims-we must remember that some
readers and hearers are gold, and some
are silver. Both are not to be reached
by the same solvent. Some are plati-
mum, Others are copper or lead; All
cannot be melted at the same heat.
If we would discern powers, we must
look outside of ourselves and Of our
own kind and circle. One man con-.
demns as weak and watery the poetry
of Longfellow, while he exults in that
of Lowell. He has, as he snppoees,
his critical reasons apart from his per.
sonal tastes. And yet the fact would
remain that Longfellow has been, in
one degree or another, translated into:
all the principal languages Of Europe,
while Lowell, 1t is stated, has scarcely
been translated at all. Here is fact
that ought to be factor in our judg-
ment' in such case. It Is the critic
with the worldwide outlook whose
voice is best worth listening to. The
listener in the pew must remember
that he Is simply one metal among
many in a congregation. And he
must remember this both when the
minister breaches the and choir sings.
